SPRING FEVER
Following Colds, Grip or Flu,
Thin, Matery OF Poisoned Blood
Try DR. VALENTINE MOTIF
(BY DR.. VALENTINE MOTIF

At this, time of year most people
suffer from what we term spring
fever" because Of a stagnant con-
dition of the blood, because OF the
toxins (poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have a poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
condition in the spring-time of the
year, should try the refreshing tonic
powers of a good Alternative and
blood purifier. Such a tonic as
druggists have sold for fifty years,
is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

that can be obtained in tablet or

Cohen Acquitted of Charge
of Operating a Still

Joe Cohen, who was charged in
the federal court with having op-
Grated an illicit still in Baltimore.
this county, in October of last
year was tried on the charge be-
fore Judge Lewis in Denver last
Saturday. Two men were suppos-
ed to be implicated in the manu-
facture of liquor, N. 1apicus and
Ben Shatzman, besides Cohen.
Lapicus was granted immunity
for testifying against the other
two.
The testimony against Cohen
was so weak that the judge in re-
viewing the evidence in charging
the jury told them that in arriv-
ing at their verdict they should
bear in mind the fact that the
prosecution failed to establish a
case against Cohen. All that was
proven against Cohen was what
he admitted-that he had sold
Lapicus sugar. The government
could not produce evidence to
show that he had any connection
with the still or was in anyway in
volved in the manufacture of the
liquor.
Despite the fact that the dep
uty marshals found Lapicus and
Shatzman in the act of operating
the still, Shatzman was acquitted
with Cohen, the insufficiency of
the evidence against Cohen ap-
parently working to Shatzman's
advantage. While Lapicus was
not tried, the evidence tended to
show that he was the guilty man.
altho he testified that he had
nothing to do with the still and
was in Baltimore for his health.
Half a dozen witnesses from
Gilpin county and equally as many
from Denver testified to having
known Cohen from Is to 25 years
and all declared him to be good
citizen whose character was above
reproach.

The landscape designer of the

ing the grounds and Gilpin coun-
ty can boast of one of the most at
tractive spots in the mountains
when the improvements at Cold

Manning-Matthews

A pretty home wedding took
place at high noon Wednesday at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
c. Matthews, when their daughter,
Gladys, became the bride of Ar
thur r. Manning. of Denver. The
ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Fl. R. A. O'Mally; of St.
Stephens church, Denver, beneath
a bower of pink and white sweet
peas ,and ferns, harmonizing with
the general color scheme followed
in the beautiful decorations of the
rooms. H. N. Kelsey, of Denver,
was best man, and Mrs. c. A. Rus
sell, of Denver, matron of honor.
A sumptuous wedding dinner was
partaken of by the wedding party
and relatives and close friends
present.
Late in the afternoon the bride
and groom departed for Idaho
Springs in car that was decorat-
ed with every sign, contrivance
and reminder, to attract the pub
lies attention to the fact that
Cupid had been busy. They left
Idaho Springs today for Estes
Park where they will enjoy a
weeks honeymoon and then re-
turn to Denver to make their home
at 1920 Logan street.
Mrs. Manning, though born in
Golden, was raised in Central and
is looked upon as a daughter of
old Gilpin. She was educated
here, graduating from High
school and finished at the Denver
university. The past year she has
been teaching school at Bridge
water, S. D. In addition to being
we'll educated, the bride is an ac-
complished musician, and talent
ed, and possesses charming dis
position and winsome manner
that causes acquaintance to cas-
lily become admiring friends.
The groom is not known to
many in Central, but is neverthe-
less fine fellow. He is an archi-
tectural craftsman and is connect
ed with the Sterling Lumber Co.
The Observer, with the many
other friends, extends hearty con-
gratulations.

ploded and pieces of rock hit
them in the face but they escaped
serious injury.
