given by the M. E. Ladies Aid
Society the date of our meeting
was changed to the first Tuesday
of December, when we will meet
at the home Of Mrs. r. c.
Greene.
Margaret Dye Ellis, our sup
erintendent of legislature, was
one Of the two women appointed
by the president of the United
States a delegate to the great al
cohol congress held at the Hague.
She thus describes the interest in
in the Maine campaign: "Septem-
ber Ill. Do you know what
that was? 1t was this day Maine
kept dry. We had talked about
it in convention and men we had
never seen said, o. it is going
all right We waited all the
next day. How we did long to
hear. About five or six o'clock,
the London papers came to the
hotel saying that Maine had gone
the other way, and if we had
had news of the death of friend
we could not have felt that a
greater disaster had befallen us.
Strong men cried and | know |
did. That evening there was a
meeting Of the prohibitionists
and they asked me to sit on the
platform. A delegate was speak
ing when suddenly a gentleman
came hurridly to the front,
holding aloft a cable message.
The prohibitory clause continues
in Names constitution. Signed
Stevens, he annouced' (applause)
You can applaud here but, | tell
you that if you were on the edge
of the North Sea and home
sick and heart sick and felt that
you were so many thousand miles
from home and wished that you
might be there to cry with your
own folks, and then had such
a message come from under the
sea to you. You would not Won
der that all of us sprang to our
feet and shouted Glory Glory!
Gloryn Then some one started
Praise God from Whom All
Blessings Flow and we went
back to the hotel on wings and
everybody was saying, Didn't
we tell you so; we knew it would
be all right"

Clear Creek Valley Grange.

The largest attendance that we
have had at grange this season
was had last Friday night A
very interesting program was
rendered, which was enjoyed by
all.
The Grange has had the cellar
under their hall enlarged and i'm
proved SO as to store in a good
supply of coal for those large
meetings we are going to have
this winter.
At our regular meeting, De-
cember, 1st, we will have the fol-
lowing question up for debate,
Resolved that the Recall Of Of
fcers would be a good thing
for Colorado. Affirmative, j.
F. White, H. M. Mullenbrock,
and w. j. Wertman. Negative,
w. N. Vale, }. Putnam and A.
Wolff. This promises to be an
interesting meeting, one you can
not afford to miss.
A special meeting is called for
to night, Nov. "a, for the pur-
pose Of confering the first and
second degrees. If your ever
had any intention Of joining the
Grange now is the time 10 go in.
Be on hand tonight.
Clear creek Valley Grange, one
of the oldest and best oranges in
the state is situated right in the
heart of the farming and garden
ing district, so there is no reason
why the so called progressive
farmers and gardeners should
not attend every meeting. 1t
probably does require a little eff
fort to get ont once every two
weeks but then nothing is accom-
plish without effort and it is a
cinch you will never accomplish
anything by staying at home.

W. c. 7. u. NOTES
By c. w. C.

There will be a union mass
meeting in the interest of Col
orado Dry 1912" in the M. E.
church on the evening of Dec. 3,
1911. Mrs. Adrianna Hungerford
president of the Colorado. W. C.
T.U., will be the principal speaker
Of the evening. She is a force
full, logical and impressing reas-
oner and has just returned from
the national convention, held in
Milwaukee from Oct. % to Nov.2.
On the platform of state wide
prohibition, Mrs. Hungerford
has been laboring zealously, stud
ing the subject from every
standpoint and has sent speak
ers and literature into every part
of the state. We urge all pat
riotic citizens to hear her.
At the regular monthly meet
ing Of the union, Mrs. Gertrude
Louden read an interesting paper
upon the subject: Alcohol, an
Unnecessary and Dangerous
Medicine" The change in the
practice of physicians during the
last ten years amounts almost
to a revolution. Ours is not a
secret society, we are glad to
welcome visitors, and to hear
their opinions though they
may not perfectly coincide
with our own. On account of
the supper and bazaar to be

of the theater to another on the

Oct. 20, Parks became enraged
and assaulted her violently. She
says he knocked her to the floor,
where she lay prostrate and
helpless and that other patrons
trampled over her body. A
wound on her leg, she asserts,
caused the blood to flow. She
says her injuries caused her to be-

Woman and Her Check.

She was brisk and full OF business
as she hustled into the bank, stepped
to desk, indorsed a check and then
handed it in at the paying teller's
window.

to the right window the very first
time" she said with beaming smile.
Eve women are getting to know a

That's very true, indeed, madam"
said the teller, but this check is not
signed by any one"

PREPARED FOR THE WORST
Music Hall Manager Sells Smelling
Salts to Patrons of His
awful Spectacle"

When it comes to advertising dra-
matte thrills, consider the manager OF
a music hall and moving picture show.
Horrors are that managers speciality.
Posters and a piratical barker do their
share toward creating goose flesh, but
they are not nearly so effective as the
youth who offers bottles of smelling
salts for rent. Right out in the middle
of the sidewalk he stands, thrusting
his volatile wares-stoppered, for
tunately-beneath your nose.
Coin inside?" says he. Take this
you'll need it; faint without it. Only
five cents. Brace you up for the awful
spectacle
You stop; you wonder What can
the awful spectacle be like? The
chances are that you had no notion
of going to that show or any other
show just then, but the prospect OF
seeing something SO blood-curdling
that you can't live through it without
smelling salts appeals to your imagina-
ton. You drop all business and go in.

An Englshman living in New
Guinea writes to a London paper: "A
neighbor OF mine, just as everyone
was going to bed, began to make
night hideous with his shrick5 and
groans. shouting like some
midnight roysterer in the chorus of a
comic song, and then blood.curdling

the matter with the man. In New
Guinea we are denied the means of
excitement, or the consultations, or the
narcotics, or the designations, Of cul-
tured and civilized men and women,

iers, shoulder to shoulder. Then
too there were thousands in the
procession and all Of the great
English generals of today. Lord
Kitchener and Lord Roberts We're
enthusiastically received. The
English royal family, nearly all
of them, preceded the royal coach
bearing the king and the queen.
This was the carriage whose
occupants we had waited hours to
see. AS the royal carriage passed
everyone stood lifted his hat,
waved a handkerchief, and
joined in the cry Long Live
The King And Queen" while the
band played God Save The
King" | assure you it was a
grand sight. Here was the his
toric old Coronation coach,
weighing more than40, 000pounds
entirely covered with gold, drawn
by the famons eight cream horses
each a picture in itself in it's
rich harness and trappings, each
led by a man in splendid royal
livery. Seated inside in regal
splendor were the newly crowned
king and queen of the largest
Kingdom the world has ever
seen. Here they sat bowling and
smiling to the hundreds o. thous-
ands of their subjects and visit
ors from all parts of the world.
Both their majesties wore their
velvet and ermine robes of Cor
onation and the gorgeous and
priceless crowns. Altogether it
was the opportunity of a life
time to see this array of great
ness and of wealth and all the
festivities of Coronation week in
London the greatest city of the
world.
On the day following the Cor
onation Procession | saw the
Royal Progress in which the king
and queen rode in an open car
riage for miles through the city.
In this procession were impor-
tant personages from all the col
onies of the British Empire and
thousands of soldiers and sailors
each in the uniform of their pos
ition in the British army and
navy.

BARS OUT RUSSIAN GEESE
Germany's Blow to Great Trade
Seriously Felt on Both Sides
of Border.

Announcement has been made that
the German authorities have suspend
ed the importation of live geese from
Russia on the ground that there is
considerable amount of disease preva-
lent in the frontier districts OF that
country.
Coming, as this prohibition does, i'm
mediately prior to the period when i'm
ports OF live geese increase rapidly
the question is serious alike to breed
ers in Russia, who will have large
quantities of birds thrown on their
hands; to German goose fatteners, as
they will be unable to fill up their
pens, for the home production Is total
ly insufficient to meet their require
ments, and to housewives in Germany,
who will find the already high price
Of what is an important article Of
food advance still further and prob
ably be prohibitlve. Russians state
that there Is no justification for this
regulation, that 1t is "a trade move
In the interests of German dealers to
force down prices and as measure
of fiscal protection to German breed
ers.
Germany imports annually about
100000 live geese, of which seven
eights come from Russia, where these
birds are bred in vast numbers
throughout the western and southwest
ern governments. They are bought
from the raisers by travelling dealers,
who drive them in huge fiocks to the
frontier stations, where they are en-
trained for despatch to Berlin and 9TH
er cities.
The cars used for this purpose are
built in four decks, each car holding
about 1000 birds. Special trains are
run in the season, consisting of
dozen to thirty-five cars, in accord
ance with the supply. As many as
$4,000 geese have been known to ar
rive at Magerviehhof market, Berlin,
on a single Westminster Ga
zette.

Farmer Politics
By H. w. M.

Lakeside Dennis the "Simon
Pure" machine sheriff of Jeffer-
son county is using a free Tram
way pass, who pays the freight
when he dead-heads.
At a recent meeting of the
Jefferson county Lincolnhiem
club, which was held in the
Grange hall at Arvada, Ex-Gov-
ernor Harper of Peabody-Gug-
enhiem fame. rendered the
chief address, in which he un-
justly and severely criticised the
the present able and most ex-
cellent state administration of
Democratic officials. If we rec
ollect the Governor is the same,
Slice" individual, who, about
a year ago when addressing the
farmers at Darden Pomona
Grange (which was held at Ar
vada) tried to hand them a
lemon" by telling them what
q horrible calamity there would
be if the initiative, referendum
and recall and other legislation
of a progressive and reform nat
ure should be enacted, and that
mob rule" and Doodle" would
drive legitimate business from
Colorado.
In referring to the administra-
tion, the Ex-Governor stated:
Zone can not blame the Demo-
Gratis for trying to detract atten-
ton from one of the most incom-
petent and most disgraceful ad-
ministration in the history of
the state" Wouldn't that jolt
you? To a man up a tree"
it looks as if the Democrats had
treated the Republicans with an
abundance of political charity.
Right here in jefferson county
we have a case which proves it.
At the School of Mines, which
has on its pay roll some seventy,
more or less, employees includ-
the faculty, there are only two
Democrats employed, the rest
are all Guggenhiem Republicans,
who received their appointments
through the Endorsements by the
Guggenheim politicians which was
accepted by the past board of
trustees as a direct command
and they were always complied
with.
Last spring when Governor
Shafo<h appointed the present
board of trustees the Republican
press of this county hoped their
would be no politics in the Sc
lection of a faculty and employees
and that DR.. Guggenhiem Alder
son and the rest of the Smelter
trust pets be allowed to hold
their positions and accidentally
at the next election they could
be used to increase the custom
AIRY Republican majorities of the
first ward in Golden, that is the
voting ward where their resid-
ences are mostly located. The
board acted accordingly and the
result is the School of Mines with
Standpat Anderson at the head,
has the smallest freshmen class in
the history of the school.
Instead of the faculty attending
to their duties that the taX-pay-
ers are paying them for, they are
making pilgrim ages around the
state for the benefit of the smell
ter trust and Republican party.
