The express was approaching a rail

and a stout old lady in one OF the
compartments showed signs of nerv'

breath. There said a gentleman in
a neighboring seat, we are over it

We live in the sane block. and tbs

went to an adjacent saloon to cement
the friendship with a glass Of grog
Both stood at the bar in silence, each
with a drink of whisky in his hand
One looked at the other and said:

Judge. This Is what the Judge
said: This Is the third woman

that something be done to deter

PEOPLE PAY THE COSTS

A jury of representative men OF
Monte Vista acquitted Mrs. S. s.
Heilman last Saturday of the charge
OF assault and battery brought
against her upon complaint of Mrs.
Susan A. Convey.
From the evidence introduced in
the case 1t appeared that Mrs. Coyey
had magnifed her neighborhood
troubles into cause of action at
law, the specific complaint being
that her child had been ASA ulted
while playing on the walk in front
of the Heilman residence. In reply
to the charge of having struck the
Convey child, Mrs. Heilman declared
that she pushed the Convey girl from
the walk in order to prevent her
from colliding with her own little
girl both children being on roller
skates. The jury seemed to take the
view that Mrs. Heilman's action was
without malice and returned a YER
dict after a few minutes delibera-
ton. The testimony failed to prove
that the Convey girl had sustained
any injury and tended to show that
the agitation of the inevitable chill
dren's troubles had caused the mat
ter to be taken into court.

MISSOURI MINERS STRIKE

More than forty miners in Webb
City and Joplin now are shut down,
the result Of the strike of lead and
zinc miners which began last Mon
day. Ten more mines, among the
heaviest producers of the Joplin dis
trict, were closed today. The week S
output Of ore will be greatly cur
tailed. Three thousand or more
men are out of employment
meeting held there, the first
held in Joplin by the strikers, was
addressed by leaders of movement
to organize an independent union.
At the meeting it was agreed to
march upon other mines at Joplin
demanding that they close. Opera
tors have predicted that, if the
the strike continues, there will be
but few mines in southwest Missouri
operating by the end of the week.
Miners of the Joplin district never
before have been affiliated with labor
organizations, and no foreign classes
have been employed in the mines
Leaders say they will attempt to or
ganize locals in every city of the dis
trict. They are opposing affiliation
with the Western Federation of Min
ers.

COLORADO

A Treasure House of the Nation
1t is the belief of conservative men
that Colorado has more nndeveloped
wealth than any equal area in the
world.
Its undeveloped wealth in mines
is just now attracting wide attention.
A revival of interest in mining al
ways follows a period. of financial
depression. Colorado has seen this
curious fact twice before and just
now we see it again in a marked
activity in every mining district in
the state.
This interesting fact is easily ex-
planned. When men begin to work
leases and seek new prospects, on
their own account, they work Gag
erly because they are working for
themselves and because their neces-
stiles act as spur to endeavor. The
results are at once manifest in find
ing rich strikes in old properties and
in finding valuable new strikes which
give abundant return for labor.
Colorado has produced more than
a thousand million dollars in gold
and silver alone, as appears from
the official figures of the state bu-
reau of mines.
Colorado has been mining radium-
ha ri 70 nd ifoh
blend) since 1888. These rarer prod
ucts are now found here over larger
territory and will be a source of
ever-increasing wealth for our peo-
pie.
The radium- charged springs of
Colorado are just beginning to re-
ceive the attention which their mer-
its demand. That they have high
curative values has been demonstrat-
ed by thousands of people.
The best results in the long run
come from low grade ores which are
now treated with fair profits. The
handling of these low grade ores in
large quantities means steady work
at good wages for many men. After
all, that is decidedly better for the
state as whole than the finding of
rich pockets which give fabulous
riches to few men.
The most complete guide to The
fascinating facts about our mines is
the biennial report of the bureau of
mines to be had at the Office of the
bureau at the state house Mr.. r. f.
Henahen, the commissioner of mines,
makes the following encouraging
statements in the thirteenth biennial
report:
only 35 per cent of Coloral )
mineral resources have been tou .hcd
and that only in part. Colorado con
tains more gold than has ever been
produced. more silver than has ever
been mined. 1t produces nearly the
entire tungsten supply of the world

western hemisphere and practically

A Ludicrous Experiment.

Holmes was one of the many emf
nent men who have attempted TO solve
the riddle of the universe. In his case
the result was ludicrous. From the
sublime thoughts that came TO Nun
while under the influence of chiorotorm
he thought he might arrive ut some
solution. Placing himself in his arm
chair, with pen, ink and paper at hand.
he inhaled the anaesthetic. AS drowsi-
ness stole over him the nature of things
seemed revealed. By a vigorous eff
fort he seized his pen and wrote-he
knew not what. for before he had fin
ished he fell back unconscious. When
he recovered he turned with trembling
anxiety to the sheet Of paper, on which.
written in scrawling characters, but
quite legible. he found the awful rev.
citation. "A strong smell of turpentine
