Exquisite Agony.

1T was, to say the least of it, Q
London letter remarks, "just little
bit awkward that the electric light
went out the other evening at the
town house Of a presumably wealthy
widow who had been doing good
deal Of political entertaining. The
guests, to the number Of dozen, had
Just finished their soup when the un-
fortunate incident occurred. The
scramble to find sufficient number
of candles SO that the dinner might
proceed was attended with a great
deal of difficulty and no little amuse-
ment. The butler, who is described
as being bit new to his job, was i'm
mediately told to telephone to the
electric company, report the catas-
trophe and demand attention to the
matter. It was a trying moment for
the guests when he returned to tho
dining room and announced in real
Cockney accent: Please, my lady, the
gentleman what's on the telephone
says they sent several warning letters
unless the account was paid active
steps would have to be taken.'"

United States Rushing War Munitions
to PHILIPPINES,

San Francisco.-That the War De-
partment is preparing the Philippine
Islands against possible declaration of
war by Japan was established beyond
doubt when, under urgent orders from
Washington, the departure of the
United States transport Sherman from
here was delayed until the vessel can
take on a great cargo of rifles and am
munition for the islands. AS soon as
the loading is accomplished the Sher-
man will proceed to her destination at

REQUIRE COMPLETE SCHEDULES.
Tax Commission Instructs Assessors
How to Value Property.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-"Let no guilty nickel es-
cape" is the motto Of the Colorado
state tax commission, which has issued
books of instruction for county asses
sors, telling how they shall go about
the assessment Of property. Some OF
the instructions to the assessors fol-
low: Find every person having prop
erty. Large numbers possessing only
personal property are now never visit
ed by the assessor. In case person
claims he has no taxable property
have him take oath in the schedule to
this effect. Have each taxpayer swear
to his schedule. Require complete
schedules from corporations and Sc
cure an affidavit to the schedule. Coal
and other mineral reserves should be
assessed. They are frequently owned
by others than the owners Of the sur
face rights and immense value in this
way escapes taxation. Assess poultry
and bees. Inquire Of each taxpayer the
amount of this property he possesses.
Assessors are instructed to use more
care in taxing money, notes, stocks
and bonds.

TROUBLES OF MONTENEGRO TOO
MUCH FOR GRIzzLED RULER,
SAYS DISPATCH.
W|LLEvACUATESCUTARI
AUSTRIA AND ITALY PREPARE TO
INVADE ALBANIA, DESPITE
RUSSIA.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-King Nicholas will abdi-
cate the throne Of Montenegro in the
near future. The troubles of his coun-
try are too many for the grizzled ruler
Of the little land and he feels younger
hands must guide its destiny.
King Peter Of Servia in all proba-
bility will be the successor of King
Nicholas when he abdicates. 1t is said
King Nicholas wishes the Servian
ruler to take his place.
King Nicholas has placed the future
Of Scutari in the hands of tho Eu-
ropean powers. and the settlement of
the Albanian trouble now depends
upon whether Essaad Pasha and Djavid
Pasha will obey the orders sent by the
Sublime Porte to withdraw their arm
les to the Turkish Empire.
It Is believed that, as Montenegro
has abandoned Scutari, Essaad Pasha
will recognize the futility of his aspira-
tons to the kingship of Albania, in the
face Of the threatened AustroItalian
expedition to expel him.
One Of the ambassadors at the close
Of the ambassadorial conference at
London said:
"The situation Is saved and the cri-
sis is past. The reported Austro-Ital-
Ian action in Albania has no point
now"
The telegram from King Nicholas to
Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, announcing that he had
surrendered, was as follows:
my dignity and that Of my people
do not allow me to submit to isolated
orders. l therefore place the destiny
of Scutari in the hands Of the great
powers"
Despite the statement of the ambas-
sador that Austria and Italy now have
no cause to send expeditions into AL
bania, preparations for just such
move continue.
Russia's warning to Italy to keep
hands off evidently will not be needed.
If not, grave consequences are feared.

to fill up with the tents Of prospec-
tors.
That this is not to be a one-mine
camp seems assured by the announce
ment that mile and half northeast
Of the Lady Belle ore has been opened
in the Little Mary that runs $3.50 a
ton. Also in the North Dakota claim,
just above the Lady Belle the same
ore seems to be coming in. which will
probably make another bonanza.
A line Of hacks is running to the
mining district, only seven miles away,
and one may go there from eagle for
81. The farmers in the vicinity are
making hay while the sun shines by
taking boarders. The first townsite to
start is Elkhorn, tract Of twenty lots
only, which Charles hartman has plat
ted on a corner of his ranch just be-
low the Lady Belle. A small hotel is
being erected there. None of the
features commonly incident to min
ing camp, such as gambling and sa-
looms, has as yet sprung up.
That big opportunities lie at the
door Of every man living in a mining
country is proved by the Lady Belle.
1t is on cattle range and Oscar
Kempf has ridden 1t hundred times.
He had smattering of minerology.
Two years ago his wife dreamed that
they had found mine and become 50
enthusiastic that he took to prospect
ing. Last fall he saw piece of min
eralized rock that boy had brought
to town and went out and located a
bonanza. He took in the village post
master and another ranchman as part
ners, and thus all three are made pros
porous. If other mines are found and
a big camp starts up it is case Of
Bob Womack and Cripple Creek over

Sauve, clerk and recorder Of Adams
county, and Miss Lola Bailey, for sew

Brighton courts by Mrs. Sauve. In

husbands affections and asks 100000
damages and body judgment. The
other suit is directed against Sauve

The values continue to run several

Hassell says he took lease on the

when they uncover the limestone foot
wall the ore will appear in bedded
masses, and that the Lady Belle will
prove to be like the Silver King at
Park City, Utah, which has produced
$2O,OOO,OOO. He expects the copper,
which now shows in the ore to turn to
lead with greater depth.

He thought he was going to deal with

Material Evidence of the Past

1t had been said that history was the
written order of things. No doubt,
what had been written was Of enor-
nous value, but it was not all, and
even where we had literature of the
past it was in some sense not the
greater part of what conveyed the
past to US. Where should we be in
the understanding of the ancient
Greeks if there were no statuary and
no sculpture? How could we under
stand their magnificence of accuracy,
precision and refinement if there were
no architecture to study? Many years
ago, with regard to the great ques-
ton Of the restoration of the Parth-
enon, the objection was made that no
person could ever get to know pre-
cisely how the columns were put to-

question of measurements, and he
bought lath in Athens and did some
careful measurements. To his in

Exchanges: This story is told Of an
impecunious Virginia gentleman Of
high degree of three generations ago.
His last name need not be mentioned,
but his first name was Beverly.
An English nobleman came to visit
him. Together they rode through the
town. A man Of forid countenance
and the middle estate hailed the two
horsemen familiarly from the side
walk.
"Hallo, Bev," he cried with a wave
of the hand.
"Hello," answered the Virginian.
"Who is that?" inquired the Eng
lishman.
"That," answered Beverly, "is my
butcher"
But he called you 'Bev,'" ex-
claimed the Englishman, astounded.
"The dog of a tradesman. Why do you
allow it? Infamous!"
"Aha," answered the undisturbcd
and impecunious one, "but, you see,
1 pay him in 'Bevs.'"
