OF an early settler seems to leave a

WIN. E. MEAGHER
DIES IN DENVER.

The death Of VIM. e. Meagher, who
died in Denver on Thursday of last
week, caused a feeling of deep re-
gret among his friends and acquain-
tances in Gilpin county. Mr.. Meagh-
er was president and general mana
ger of the Gilpin-O Orion G. M. COM
pany, operating properties in the
Gregory and Lake districts, this
county. He had great faith in the
outcome Of his company's opera
tions in Gilpin county and his be-
lief that the Gdlpin- Orion group was
among the best mines in this section
untimely passing away just as the
development of the Gilpin-Orion prop
critics under his management was re-
vealing ore bodies that insured the
early payment of dividends and justi-
fled his confidence in the PROPOSE
ton, is the saddest feature of his
death.
Before removing to Denver, Mr..
Meagher had been business man in
Pueblo. He came to the state IA
years ago. He was well thought of
both in Denver and Pueblo. The
Pueblo Chieftain in commenting up
on the esteem in which he was held
by all while citizen of that commu-
nifty. says:
Mr. Meagher was an enterprising
citizen, always in the front rank of
any movement that had for its object
the upbuilding of Pueblo. He was
ever boosting for this city, and gave
his time and money freely for the
good of the community. OF cheer
full and optimistic disposition, he saw
the silver lining of the darkest cloud,
and there are many in Pueblo who
will remember his unostentatious
deeds Of kindness and benevo-
leuce"

MAY LOSE POSTAL RIGHTS.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is
confronted with an unique situation
as result of the enforcement by his
department of the provision of the
postoffiec appropriation act for semi
annual returns to the department, an
the labelling of all editorial and news
matter for which a consideration had
been received.
The Philadelphia Tageblatt, daily
newspaper printed in German, has,
apparently, advertised" itself out of
the second class mail privilege. At
least, according to postoffice officials,
it has assumed position which, un-
der the law, would deny it the priv
ilege of the second class rate.
The Tageblatt decided to mark
every editorial, news story. or other
matter contained in its columns as
advertising, saying in editorial ex-
PLANTATION:
Editors can never be sure wheth-
er money OF any other consideration
has been paid or promised for any
article. Still, this knowledge is a
matter of moment if he does not
want to risk the fine from $50 to
$500. which the law imposes.
"One of our novel writers makes
his hero ride frequently in an Appel
10 car. The editor never found fault
with such passages. But now he
hesitates. Who knows whether the
author did not get any valuable con-
sideration from the manufacturer of
the Appollo. be it only Joy ride. :"
The second class law denies the
cent a pound rate of postage to news
papers and periodicals primarily de-
signed for advertising purposes .
Certain postal officials feel that this
paper out of pique at the law has
made itself wholly an advertising
sheet, and has denied itself the be-
nefit of the pound rate. Whether
Postmaster General Hitchcock will
take the retaliatory action that seems
to lie in his power remains to be
seen.-Publisher' Auxiliary.

34S Classon Ave-, Brooklyn. N. Y.
Nov. 10th, 1912.
Editor Gdlpin Observer. Central City,
Colo.
Dear SIR
Knowing 1T will be interesting as
well as surprising to you and the
people of Central City, l desire to in
form you of the death Of one you
might call your own, Michael j. Laf-
ferty.
Just as the bleak month Of No
vember was dawning, under the gtnd-
nee of a pale moon-lit sky. just as
the sleeping city was preparing to
meet another busy day, just as the
old clock in the homestead of his
sister, Mrs. .Coe. Cullinan, at 2035 SO.
23rd street, Philadelphia, Penn, was
tolling the hour of four, the frost OF
death closed for ever his eyes.
Weakened by illness, he had suf-
fered for some time past, thus the
ending scene of a play which had
lasted for some forty-nine years.
He was raised at Silver Brokk Jet,
Schuylkill Co., Penn, little village
nestled in the Blue Ridge in the An
thracite fields of eastern Penn, to
the southwest of the city of Scran-
ton. His father, Patrick Lafferty,
was one of the most prominent coli
tractors of his day. and had driven
tunnels all over this country. He was
injured by an explosion while driving
q tunnel at Manch Chunk, Pa, which
resulted in total blindness forty eight
years ago. He afterwards conduc-
over the mountains.
Michael left the old home about
twenty years ago and located In your
city, where he resided until March,
1911, when he decided to come and
live with his sister, Mary Brophy.
in Brooklyn. Four months after his
arrival here his sister was operated
upon and died. He then spent the
remaining part of the summer visit
ing the old home in Pennsylvania,
and the few friends who were left
after his long absence. After which
time he lived with his sister in Phil
adelphia.
His friends of the East were much
interested in Western tales he told.
While in Brooklyn he was known
by the children Of the street as "Un-
cla Mickey Of the West" and he
would sit and relate tales Of the In
dian and cowboy Of the West, much
to their pleasure. He often related
of Central City's kind hospitality
and while he was here among his owr
he always termed Central City home.
He was known by his lifelong
friends here as a quiet, generous
fellow. ready to give hand to all.
A Requiem Mass WAS sung In the
r. c. church Of st. Thomas Aquinas
in Phila., at 6: 45 a. m, Monday. Nov.
4. after which the remains were
placed aboard the Lehigh Valley train
arriving in McAdoo. Pa, at 1856,
where throngs of relatives and
friends were on hand to accompany
the sad procession to the family plot
in st. Patrick's cemetery.
