Increased Cost of Production.

The most striking feature of the
statistics of 1915 is the small increase
in dividends as compared with the
value of the output for the year. This
is accounted for in thes high cost Of
PRODUCTION. The cost of everything in
the way of supplies and machinery
has advanced in keeping with the in
crease in price of metals and in many
cases at much greater rate, while

WILLIAM +. CODY
DEAD IN HIS
72O YEAR
Famous Scout and Snowman Died
in Denver Ye teIday
WAS VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE
State of Colorado VIII Take Charge
Of Funeral to Be Held on
Sunday.

Denver, Jan. 10--Col. William F.
Cody. famous the world over as Buf-
falo Bill, the greatest scout the Amer
ican frontier ever produced, died just
after noon today at his sisters home
in this city. His extraordinary vitali-
ty, which amazed his physicians, sur
rendered finally to heart weakness.
He was in his seventy-second year.
Returning last fall from a season
with show which bore another name
than his ill fortune had wiped out Of
existence the famous Buffalo Bill Wild
West Show, and Cody, though he had
made millions, was working for other
mem he complained of weakness. He
contracted severe cold in Wyoming
on the ranch that bears his name,
and shortly after he arrived here four
weeks ago his condition was so alarm
ing that his wife and daughter came
here to be with him. They were at
the bedside today when he breathed
his last.
The state of Colorado will take
charge of his funeral as mark of ap-
probation OF what the west owes his
memory. For four hours, from s A.
NJ. until noon, next Sunday, under a
guard of honor, the body will lie in
state in the capitol. The governor
OF the state and many officials will
pay honor TO his name and services.
On Sunday afternoon the body will
be escorted by detachment OF Unit
ed States infantry TO the Elks' Home,
where the funeral service, under the
auspices of the Denver Lodge of Elks.
as Col Cody requested, will be held.
In accordance with ColCody's belong
ed will have part in the funeral, in
Guiding the Grand Army of the Re-
public, the Pioneer Society of Colora
do and the Cowboy Rangers of Den
yer. The Masons will have charge of
the interment.
1t is probable the body will be
placed, for the present at least, in a
receiving vault in local cemetery,
and that next Decoration Day it will
be carried to tomb that is to be
hewn from solid rock on the top OF
Lookout Mountain, near this city.
Plans are being made already for the
construction of the mountain tomb.
Among the hundreds Of kilograms of
sympathy and confidence that have
been received by Mrs. Cody are mes
sages from President Wilson, Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, Major-Gen. Hugh L.
Scott, chief of staff of the United
States army. and from aged Sioux
chiefs who we're Cody's enemies be-
fore they became his warmest friends.
William Frederick Cody was the
last of the great pathfinders of the in
repid company that pushed back the
frontier year by year and mile by mile
and gave the west to the white man.
His fame ranks with that Of Daniel
Boone, Kit Carson, Sam Houston and
Davy Crockett and he was even more
of popular figure than any of those
pioneers of civilization.

ly interested in the Twilight Sleep"
pictures which will be exhibited at
the Opera house tomorrow at 23O,
7.30 and 9 p. IN. Many of them will
unlearn a lot of mistaken, hazy ideas
they have about the much-talked of
painless birth treatment, and many
already familiar with the subject will
gain a yet clearer understanding of
the Freiburg method as they watch
the excellent film pictures demon
strating it as introduced by DR.. Kurt
T. Schlossingk of Freiburg Frauen-
klinik. That the pictures are in
structive is to be expected, but they
are also entertaining and when, after
the detailed pictures of young
mother undergoing Twilight Sleep"
her baby appears on the screen. and
afterward many other lovely fat bab-
les are pictured as Twilight Babies"
the chorus of "oh's" and "ah's" rises
crescendo.
1t Is a subject of deepest interest
to women, in fact, everybody, and in
the lecture which precedes the pic
lures is outlined clearly and conser-
vatively the benefits of the Twilight
Sleep" which, in use in Freiburg,
Germany. since 1906, has delivered
there and in this country many thou
sands of women painlessly, with no
nervous shock following to the pa
tient and with just as large a percen-
tage of entirely successful births as
are shown without the Twilight
Sleep"
The arguments advanced by some
physicians who assert that it is con-
trary to Gods law that the treat
ment Is apt to cause insanity in
mothers and to produce asphyxiated
babies, are all replied to in the lee
ture. The treatment is no longer an
experiment and while it is not per-
feet, it is a Godsend to women. The
treatment causes forgetfullness, the
sensations being so slightly register
ed on the memory that they are not
recalled. ADV.

chosen as Progressive, but styles

ON ITS WAY
Already Delivered to Ambassador
Sharpe at Paris
PUBLICATION is WITHHELD
Details Will Not Be Known Until 48
Hours After Reception by
President Wilson.

London, Jan. 10.-Premier BRAND
delivered today to Ambassador Sharp
at Paris the Allies reply to President
Wilson's peace note, says an ex'
change telegraph despatch from the
French capital.
Publication of the text of the note
however, will be deferred until forty
eight hours after it has been receiv-
ed by the American government.
The delays in sending the reply
were due to changes suggested by one
of the Entente Powers, but these
proved to be largely changes in
phraseology and not affecting the es-
sential features of the reply as first
drafted in Paris and London.
The Times says 1t understands
that few changes were made by the
various allied governments from the
draft of the reply approved by a con-
ference of British and French leaders
In London at the end of December.
1t continues:
"The reply Of the Allies is under
stood to differ considerably both in
tone and in tenor from the answer
given President Wilson by Germany.
1t is believed to be conceived in a
spirit of frankness and cordiality,
and to define broadly the only terms
upon which the Allies would contem-
plate peace.
1T appears to be addressed in
reality, II not in form, quite as much
to the American people as to Presi-
dent Wilson and to constitute a
crushing rejoiner to the German pre-
tentions to humanitarian sentiment.
It Is stated that the answer to Presi-
dent Wilson is not much longer than
the answer the Allies made to Ger

Former Chorus Girl Wife Says Thaw

New York, Jan. Hilary Ken
dali Thaw, who on Monday morning
at o'clock eluded the detectives,
who had been sent by the district at
torney's Office to Philadelphia to ar
rest him on charge of kidnapping
and whipping 19 year old Frederick
Gump, Jr.. of Kansas City, was still a
fugitive from justice last night, and
was sought in all parts of the east.
Although indirect assurances came
to the district attorney that advisers
of Thaw and detectives in his employ
that Thaw intended to give himself
up and assert his innocence, it ap-
peared last night that he intended at
least to have the pleasure of giving
his pursuers chase, as he did when
he made his escape from Matteawan
and got to Canada in August, 1913.
Evelyn Nesbit, now Mrs. Jack Cliff
ford, sympathizes with her former
husband in his present trouble, but
thinks he should be confined before
he can commit another homicide.
'lt was "A great shock to me to
learn of Mr. Thaw's trouble" she
said. and if he is convicted of the
charge ] shall feel very. very sorry
for him. He seems to go from one
trouble to another. and it is too bad.
He Is, however, a dangerous man to
be at large. Harry Thaw should be
confined at once for the benefit of the
public, for all the alienists who testi-
fed for the state in the trial and the
other proceedings declared that he
was dangerous paranoiac."

Aside from the Russian and Ru-

June Is, 1881, in the columns OF The

which has passed out of existence:
A young man and his sister were
visiting their old friend, Judge Rowan,
who lived near Bardstown, KY. With
true Kentucky hospitality, he had en-
tertained his guests. showing them the
various points of interest on his estate
and throughout the surrounding coun
try. The brother and sister were de-
lighted with what they heard and
saw. The spell of the Kentucky fields
was about them. They began to weave
in their fancies the beautiful thoughts
that slowly crept into their minds.
One beautiful morning, while the
darkies were at work in the cornfields
and the sun was shining with a mighty
Isplendor on the waving grass, Stephen

The war fever is now upon him, and
he is anxious to be accepted as a re-

The first recruit to the army from the
