The candles were to have been for

tragedy to the little household.
Mrs. Pocpsek lay i'll in bed yrester-

at it, but was overcome with sobbing.
The funeral is to take place this
afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Korisko

BONDHOL.DERS Of
A RAILROAD ARE
To CUT A MELON
Will Get Approximately
S500,000 in Cash Out
of the Colorado Springs
and Cripple Creek Line.
BY the Associated Press,

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 81.
-Bondholders of the Colorado
Springs and Cripple Creek railroad,
which was ordered sold today by
Federal Judge J. Foster Symes, in
Denver, are to cut a melon amount
ing to approximately 100000 in
cash, according to an announce.
ment made today by George NJ. Tay-
lor. receiver for the road.
The money is on deposit in Colo
rado Springs banks and was col
lected from the government under
two sections of the federal trans
.portation act on a claim presented
by the receiver that the railroad
had been injured financially at
least that amount under govern
ment administration OF railroads
during the world war. Mr.. Taylor
received $170,921.6O in July and
1884, 4,521.42 in the last ten days, he
said today. This sum, amounting
in all to $455,243.02, is being held
subject to its final disposition by
the federal courts.
No inkling of the payments had
been permitted to leak Nout until
word was received from Denver to-
day that Judge Symes had named
Ivor G. Winegreen, a Denver attor-
.ney, as master Of the sale of the
railroad. The date of the sale is
yet to be fixed.
In addition to this sum, there is
lstill pending in federal court an
action against the Cripple Creek
and Colorado Springs Railroad
company, A. r. Carlton, Spencer
Penrose and c. C. Hamlin. for ST.
100000 damages alleged to have
been sustained by the Colorado
Springs and Cripple Creek railroad
when the parties named in the suit
were lessees of the road. This
action was filed last year and is
based on the grounds that the
lessees failed to pay the taxes for
1917 and 1918, and also left a
number of book accounts unpaid.

the humanitarian principals of
democracy.
Mrs. Jones. wife OF the sena-
tor, made few remarks on the
social life of washington and an
swered questions asked her. Mrs.
Collins, the first state chairwo-
man, gave a few words of greet
ing, and Mrs. Richard II. Hanna
responded to call for her hus-
band, Governor Hanna" as he
was announced. who was not
present at the dinner.
Mrs. Florence Poyas Johnston,
Bernalillo county chairWoman,
whose candidacy for congress was
recently announced, made a stir
ring speech OH the subject Of
women in Politics." She said
that the democratic party had
been suffering from pernicious
anaemia and needed TRANSMISSION
of new life from the women's ac-
tivities into the body polite.
Mrs. N. B. Laughlin. Santa Fe
county chairwoman gave
whimsical little talk on the wom-
ems part In the democratic work.
She said that women had done
pretty well in everything else
they had ever tackled and they
ought to be able to hold their
own in politics. Her daughter,
Mrs. w. j. Barker, of Santa Fe
also made a few remarks.
Mrs. NJ. C. Meacham of this
city read a paper on "Our Allies,
the Men" giving much humorous
advice on how to get along with
them in the political game. She
said that little masculinity OF
mind was desirable and that per-
sonal charm was of no avail un-
less it was camouflage for
brains. Mrs. J. w. Melaven of
Santa Rosa was introduced but
relinquished her place on the
program to Mrs. Blair, who had
just arrived on the train from the
east.
An informal reception at which
the guests at the banquet were
given an opportunity to meet the
distinguished visitors followed the
speaking program.

WOMAN'S ILLS MAKE
UNHAPPY HOME.

There is no question but what
the ills of women conspire against
domestic harmony. The husband
cannot understand these troubles
and the physician finds it hard
to cure them; therefore the over
worked wife and mother con-
tinues to drag around day in and
day out with headaches and
backache, fretful and nervous.
Such women should be guided
by the experience of women
whose letters we are continually
publishing in this paper. Many
of them declare that they have
been restored to health, strength
and consequent happiness by
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound after doctors and all
other medicines had failed to
help them. 1t will surely pay
women who suffer from such
ailments to try it.

revenue to bondholders will result
from the sale Of the railroad, the
terms of the sale specifying that it
cannot be disposed of for less than
100000, according to Mr.. Taylor.
There are almost $2,700,000 of
outstanding bonds of the railroad
divided into $3.50, 900 of first mort
gage and $1,450,000 second mort
gage bonds. The road has been in
the hands of a receiver since the
mall of 1920. Since it was built in
1901, millions of dollars worth of
gold ore have been hauled from the
Cripple Creek district to the out
side mills over the road, which was
also famous for its scenic beauty.
A syndicate of Colorado Springs
capitalists which has advanced
money to be used in payment of
taxes recently, is said to be CON
templating buying the road and
it into a motor highway.
