KING OF AMERICAN ISLAND
James Jesse Strang Really Was
Crowned and Had Dominion With.
In the United States.

There frequently appears alona
Chestnut street a professional beggar
who claims to be Henry Strang, son
of Americas only king. His tale Is
greeted as a huge joke, yet the story
he tells is true, the only part of it
concerning which there may be any
doubt being his own connection
with it.
The kingdom he refers to was once
set up on Beaver island, in northern
Lake Michigan, and fourished for
some years. James Jesse Strang, a
prominent Mormon, had quarreled
with the leaders of his church, and in
1916 withdrew with "a few followers
to that island. Other Mormons Joined
the colony from time to time, and by
the winter of 1848 they were suffi-
ciently numerous to threaten control
OF the island. On July 8, 1850, Strang
was crowned king with elaborate cer-
emonies. There was much contro,
versy between the Mormons and the
other inhabitants of the island, most
~ fishermen. While on a visit to De-
troit President Fillmore heard of this
little kingdom within the domain of
the United States. He sent an armed
vessel to Beaver island, and King
Strang was captured and tried for
treason. He conducted his own de-
fense and made such an eloquent plea
that he was acquitted. In 1850 he
was assassinated.-Phila Rec

Arctic Bounty.

The account Of the four years. stay
of Viljalmar Stefanssen and DR.. An.
derson in the Arctic regions of Amer
lea, during which they made Iona
journeys alone with nothing to de-
pend upon for a living but the hospi
tality of the natives and their rifles,
furnishes new illustration of the re-
markable productiveness of the far
north. Persons are likely to suppose
that it is the tropics which are most
spontaneous in the production of food
for human beings. The fact Is that
the contrast between equatorial and
Arctic regions Is not so very great in
tl,ic regard. Early explorers of the
region of the upper Amazon found
they must carry supplies or starva
to death. There is game there, but
1t cannot be reached in the jungles.
This was the experience Of James Or.
ton, the American traveller, and in
his work on the Amazon he recalls
the fate of the mighty Pizarro, who
tried to penetrate that country, but
retreated from it upon a diet of llz,
ards, dogs, saddle leather and sword
belts just in time to save his life.
Similar experiences are to be encoun,
tered in much of tropical Africa. II
is true that some tropical islands give
their inhabitants free but monoto
nous living, but, then, so will the ice
bound country around the mouth OF
the Mackenzie.

EASY AND SURE WAY
TO CURE COLDS
Don't Neglect a Cold, Ely's Cream
Balm Will Stop it in the Sneez-
ing Stage.

A cold generally attacks the weak
est part, affecting the eyes and ears
in some and producing nasal catarrh
and throat troubles in others. A cold
is due to an Inflammation of the men,
brane lining the air passages, and
may be promptly cured with little
Ely's Cream Balm, which Immediate
ly relieves the Inflammation and all
the distressing symptoms, such as
sneezing, coughing, running at the
nose and eyes, hoarseness, sore throat
fever and headache. One reason why
this pure, antiseptic Balm acts so
quickly is because it is applied direct
Iy to the tender, sore surfaces.
Even in severe chronic cases of ca
tarrh, Ely's Cream Balm never fails
to quickly and effectually check the
poisonous discharges which clogs the
head and throat, causing the disgust
ing hawking, splitting and blowing of
the nose. This remedy not only driv-
es out the disease, but heals and
strenthens the weakened membranes,
thus ending catarrh.
Catarrh is filthy, disgusting dis
ease. Don't put up with it another
day. Get so cent bottle of Ely's
Cream Balm from your druggist and
see how quickly you will be relieved.

GET YOUR PRINTING IN DENVER
Local Master Printer Tells the Business
Man Why He Should Get Printed
Matter in Denver.

The master printers of Denver are
waking up to the need of agitation for

is now being done among the big Denver
manufacturers to prevent them sending
their work to Eastern firms when it can
be done in Denver at nearly the same
cost and in many Instances at a saving
President King of the Typographical
union is spending much of his time at
this work.
The president of the Denver Typo
theta is arousing the Denver business
men by sending out the following for
publication:
Buy in your own town If you can't
buy what you want at home, buy in Col
orado.
"Colorado-made goods, advertised with
Colorado-made advertising, labeled with
Colorado-made labels, billed on Colorado
made stationery. and paid for with a Col
orado-made check.
when you realize that every S1,50o
worth of printing that is purchased out
side the city keeps one employe from
making this his permanent home, thus
adding one more customer TO the gro
! cery store, one more customer to the
| dry goods store, one more customer to
the drug store, one more house that is
rented. and one more family to add to
! the population, you can readily under
his money at home, where it is placed
in general circulation and goes the
rounds. If once sent out of the city it
returns no more.
Denver has today more brokers and
agents in our line than any other city of
similar size in the country. These
| brokers do not add to the permanent
wealth of the city; they have no money
| invested, pay no wages other than office
help. and send all the business that they
secure out of the city, retaining only a
commission. How much better 1t would
be for the buyer to place this business
with a manufacturer operating plant
right here in our midst. paying out the
wages that now are paid out one thou
sand miles away.
Wouldn't there be much better
chance of those wages once more get
ting back into the channels of local
trade?
Denver today boasts of some of the
finest printing and lithographing plants
operated anywhere in the country-plants
that are capable Of producing just as
fine work as is produced anywhere in
the United States. These plants deserve
and merit the support and patronage OF
every man. woman and child in Denver,
and yet they are not getting it. 1t is
not the purpose of this letter to criticise
anybody personally. but it seems quite
pitiable to find that prominent banks,
manufacturers and business houses gem
, orally are carrying the imprints of out
side printers. photographers and book
makers on their stationery, books, labels
and checks, while our own plants are
Obliged to push out of the state to Sc
cure the business that lays at their very
doors. Loyalty would bring about a
grand change and produce a prosperity

Their only idea of an education is that
by means of it they may attain life of
idleness AS minors they are entitled to
be taught how to make the most of their
abilities. and they need to be inspired by
the idealism of great university where
in self-reliance and self-support NAV be
the means of advancement not only ma
terially but intellectually and spiritually
To help make a world where no one
has the right to idleness, but where all
work in a cooperative instead of a COM
petitive way for the uplift of mankind.
There has never been a university
based on the fundamental principle that
each student shall be self-sustaining
, unit the same as the world itself de-
mands of most of us. The trustees or
| regents of this university are to be Sc
| lected from men who have experience in
the application of the arts and sciences
to the needs of daily life and, having
made success of their own private af
fairs, it is to be assumed that they can
put such an institution on a practical
basis The long term of service of the
| trustees insures a permanency of policy
While Congress is asked to make the
initial appropriation, the foundation en-
dowment feature of the university will
attract endowments from those who have
money to leave for the benefit of man
kind no matter in what form the fund is
intended to apply to the betterment of
life. Such a university will deal with
life in every form, and will set up an un-
assailable standard, namely, that every
one should know how to do some one
thing well, and that the best in every
thing is none too good for an American
citizen as his guiding principle
On this simple and firm base we can
make material prosperity ever a means
to the highest culture and spiritual
growth. Some say this is making a sci
ence of religion, others that it is to be a
religion of science. 1t matters not, for
science and religion are really kindred
forces and are everywhere working for
the same ends. A university must deal
with humanity as it is ana the fdealism
of the spirit is big part of human life.
