A strange document has been
found in an old safe at Cripple
Creek. 1t purports to be a con
fession made by U. X. White to
Philip Schuch, an assayer. Both
parties are now dead but at one
time 'ded in Del Norte. The
alleged confession tells OF whole
sale murder. One victim was a
wealthy woman from New York
who is said to have been robbed
of between ten and fourteen
thousand dollars and the body
buried in the cellar of a house
at Iona in the fall of 1879. An
other was of man named Har-
ris in an old beer garden at Del
NOrte in 1882. Three other mur-
ders in Del Norte are related by
White. Schuch writes that he
dug up some o. the bones of the
woman. Iona was an opposition
town across the river from Del
Norte. Most of the buildings
have been torn down and moved
away. Schuch made a lot of mon
ey during the closing years of
his life out of a medicine he
called adio-Sulphur but got
into trouble with the courts.

Gladys Bigelow gave the class
salutatory very nicely. Then ten
little boys gave a handkerchief
dill and a lot of boys and
girls from the primary room gave
a doll show. The little folks
knew their parts perfectly and
showed careful training. A doz-
en- boys and girls from the inter
mediate room sang a song and
with rakes and hoes went through
series of difficult evolutions
in the hayseed drill. They won
well merited applause and dis
played as much skill as many of
the professional choruses in the
theatres of the larger cities. Lu-
ia Webb gave the class history in
an excellent manner and Miss
Nellie Phillips sang a very pleas.
ing solo. lrl Engle delivered the
valedictory in a manly, straight
forward way exhibiting consider
able oratorical ability. Then came
the address by Superintendent
Christensen, who gave excellent
advice to the class and to the
fathers and mothers as well.
He payed a high compliment to
the La Jara schools, saying they
were the best in the coun-
try. He was followed by
President ID. f. Newcomb of the
school board, who presented the
diplomas and talked briefly to the
citizens of the district on school
matters.
The class play, The Heavenly
Twins, " was well received. 1t is
the story of two Yale students
who are out for lark and dis
guised themselves in girls dresses
and obtain admission to Miss
Brown s select school for young
ladies. The class was assisted
by two Of the teachers, Misses
Dodson and Butler, and Grace
Phillips of the 7th grade. All
played their parts eXcellently. Be
tween the acts We're two songs by
little girls o. the primary room.
The entertainment was a revela

did not realize that the children
We're making such good progress
and could give exercises of such
unusual merit.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the
nose and throat are exposed to the
irritating influence of dust, impure
air, ETC., and for this reason are the
places Catarrh usually first mani
tests itself. But these are simply
exciting causes, the Inflammation
and discharge being really produced
by an impure and vitiated condition
OF the blood. It is we'll enough to
use some local treatment to cleanse
these membranes, but any one car,
readily see that if the infiamtnatorv
matter is left in the blood. such
treatment cannot possibly have any
permanent effect. s. S. S. cures
Catarrh by cleansing the blood of ali
impure catarrhal matter and irritat-
ing germs and at the same tims
builds up the system by its fine tonic
effects. When s. S. S. has purified
the blood, the mucous surfaces are
all nourished and made HEALTHY.
There can be no inflammation of the
membranes then, because the blood
Is pure, and every tissue receives
nourishment instead OF irritating
matter. Our book on Catarrh viii
interest every sufferer of this disease
and it will likewise give proper ad-
vice as to what is best to use as a
local aid while S. S. S. is PURIFYING
the blood. This book is free 10 ali
and we will also be glad to give any
special advice you may feel yo,,
need. S. S. S. is sold at5drug stores

Somebody Has Told Him of
a Wonderful
r e. Pitcher.
BIG AS JOHNSON AND
is IN OPEN MARKET
incidentally, Though, Kahoe Has
Letters, Boosting Players, From
All Parts of the Country.
By SENATOR"

When the Nationals leave for Boston
next Wednesday evening for the closing
games of the season. Mike kahoe Is
likely to 20 along to take trip into
Maine to do little quiet scouting.
A competent baseball man has writ
ten here, declaring there is a pitcher
with a team in Bangor, who has every
thing, is as big as Walter Johnson. and
can be obtained for the Nationals for
next year. So numerous are letters of
recommendation the club has adopted
policy of not signing players unless one
OF the scouts makes an inspection, so
this will be Kahoe's mission If he is
taken on the coming trip.
Kahoe has more than 100 letters boost
ing players on teams from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. but as most of the
leagues have closed, and little scouting
can be done at this time. he expects to
make an extensive tour when the teams
take up their practice in the spring.
When the Nationals start on their
last trip. several players, some of whom
may never again see major league
game, will be left here at liberty to go
home as il suits their convenience. Just
enough men will be taken along to in
sure the club against accidents, and the
remainder Will lose no time III getting
10 their winter quarters.
Tom Long. the Alabama outficlder, is
far from being a well man. The sud
den jump from the Southland to Wash
ington, and being showed into the
contest, was little too strenuous, and
he is still nursing a wel-develOped cold.
The failure of the yOungSter to make
good from the start was particularly
disappointing to Mike Kahoe, who was
unreserved in his boots when he first
signed the player.
THE best playing Long did after
coming here was no better than his
worst in Alabama, and | still believe
that If he gets more experience, he will
prove to be valuable asset is the
way Kahoe expresses himself with his
find.
Ray Morgan is still hobbling around
with bum ankle, and has been watch
ing the games from the stand. lie will
be lucky If he gets in the game again
this season.
The champion Athletics will be here
Monday, Tuesday. and Wednesday, and
the games will unqueStionabIy be seen
by large crowds, who want to get an
idea of the defenders of the American
League on the eve of the big series.

A conference of officials of the East
ern States. having Jurisdiction over
the registration of motor vehicles will
be held in Albany. N. Y, October 8,
at the invitation Of New York's Sec
rotary of State. 1t is expected this
conference will give automobile tour
ing a decided impetus, and 1t has the
sanction of the entire automobile in
dustry. as we'll as of owners of cars
throughout the United States. A
great improvement already has been
made in the automobile laws of many
States. as a result of the agitation Of
the Touring Club OF America. which
a year ago called the first conference
OF this character. at which ten States
and the District of Columbia were
represented. At this meeting recon-
mendations were made providing for
a uniform touring privilege of fifteen
days for non-residents touring in
other States. which subsequently were
adopted by a number of States.
The Forthcoming Albany conference
also will serve to call attention to
Road Users Day. which Will be one
of the features of the first American
road congress to be held in Richmond
in November, under the auspices OF
the American Association for High
way Improvement at which President
Taft Is to deliver the opening address.
Road Users Day will be under the di-
rection of the Touring Club of Amer
lea and the program win include
speakers who are acknowledged auth
critics on traffic ordinances, motor
vehicle laws and regulations govern
ing the general use of the. public
highways.
Commenting q, the general tonr-
ing situation. Frederick H. Elliott, sec
rotary of the Touring Club of America,
said: Il am in favor of uniform

Evers Down, Merkle Up,
All in Three Years

1t is a strange thing what three years
can do in baseball. In the fall of 1903,
when Jahnny Evers. by his quick think
ing, won a pennant for the Cubs,
which would have belonged to the
Giants but for the oversight Of Fred
MerkIe in failing to touch second base,
who would have thought that today.
Evers is practically down and OUT, a
sick man, in no shape to play, while
Merkle has become the best first base
man in the National League, and one Of
the most valuable players in the BUSH
ness.

Jimmy McAleer seems certain to be
well received in Boston. Up there
the fans grew tired of Taylor, blam-
ing him for driving out of town some
of the best players on the team. They
charge him with meddling in some
thing of which he knows nothing.
They figure that McAleer is train
ed baseball man and will not inter-
fere in the active management of the
team. The Red Sox have some of
the best players in the big leagues
and should be in the hunt next year.
McAleer says he hopes they will be,
