Told Of Victor Hugo.

OF Victor Hugo it Is told that once
when a word used in one of his poems
was criticized us mot French" he
calmly replied: 1T Is now" The story
may not be true, but 1t might have
been, for no doubt If occasion had
arisen, Victor Hugo was quite capable
of saying just that, and of believing
It, too. Moreover, his confidence in
his power was not without excuse,
or even reason, for in his day his
right to increase the French yocabu-
larry was about as good as that of any
body else.-New York Times.

BLIGHTING WORDS

II the merely idle word is one day
to be accounted for and judged, what
OF the untrue, impure, the profane,
the malignant and cruel words with
which this earthly air is continually
chsrgedY Only a movement OF the
lips, moments stirring of the air,
and all is silent, as though the word
had never been spoken; yet fellow
creatures happiness has been blight
ed heavy burden has been made still
heavier to bear; heart has been robb-
ed of its guilelessness and trust; the
seed has been sown of career that
ends in ruin and death. Those words
are not dead. Though they seem to
be buried in everlasting oblivion, yet,
when the judgment throne is set and
earth's myriads are gathered together
to be by their words justified or by
their words condemned, they will re-
turn with solemn reverberating echo
out of the darkness OF the past, and
fall with dsmay and shame on the ears
of those who spoke them. And those
words-faithful pure, begin-passing
to and fro among men like white
winged angels, carrying messages of
love and hope and healing from heaven;
words almost divine in their ennobling
influence, helping us ever onward and
upward along life's journey-those,
too, will awake from their sacred slum-
Der, and amid the grateful murmur of
the multituds whom they have glad
dened comforted aud saved their bless
ed sound will be heard on earth once
more.
Keep watch of your words, my darl-
ings,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet like bees, fresh honey
Like bees, they have terrible stings,
They can bless, like the warm, glad
sunshine,
And brighten lonely life;
They can cut, in the bitter contest,
Like an open, two edged knife.

Young man, have you purpose in

something of novelty. Yet it is the
great one on which your future place
in the world depends. II no fe-pur-

full time that you sat down and spent a
season in grave reflection. Without
an earnest purpose nothing worth &C
complishing can be done in this world.
Thought, will, energy, work-these
are the elements Of all success These
are the materials out OF which men
construct their fortunes; and il you are
dreaming of wealth, honor Of position
In the future, and have not these to
build on, with advancing structure that
now rises pleasantly years, you will
see the beautiful in your fancy, fading
away like the baseless Fabric of 8

earnest, sock to acquire the highest

Let each day see you advancing in skill

sun shines, or the water runs, you will
rise above the common mass. And just

POSSIBILITY OF DIVISION
BEING LOCATED IN JULES
BURG LOOMS BRIGHTER
Numerous RumOrs AflOat That Division Points
On Union Pacific Will Be Lengthened As
Economical Measure; Test Made In Running
One Locomotive From Omaha to Denver the
First of This Week.

We don't know anything definite
relative to the plans of the Union
Pacific Railroad company, but there is
every indication that the Union Pa
cific is contemplating making changes
in division points west of Omaha and
lengthening the runs, thus making a
considerable less number of locomo-
tives and train crews. AS an eco
nomical measure it doesn't take an ex-
perienced railroad man to see that this
would be most practical. as it would
mean a large saving to the railroad
company in years to come.
To the casual observer perhaps this
is only of passing interest, but when
it is considered that in the event of
the change Of division points, that
Julesburg may land division berth
say that makes all of the progressive
citizens Of this community sit up and
take notice, and wonder if it really
will come to pass. AS we stated
above, as far as we know there is no
definite information at hand, but
there are numerous rumors afloat, and
these rumors are being substantiated
to a certain extent by recent activities
of the company.
We publish below an article which
appeared in recent issue of the Dem
yer Post, and while this has no parti-
cular bearing on the matter Of Jules
burg being designated as division
point at future date, it is conclu-
sive evidence that the number of To-
comotives on the system is being
substantially cut down to minimum,
and also partially substantiates the
rumor that the distance between di-
vision points is to be lengthened:

PROMPT ACTION OF FIRE.
MEN SATURDAY EVENING
SAVES BUSINESS BLOCK
econd Fire In Four Days Occurs at Warehouse of
Walrath & Sherwood With Only Slight Dam
age; W. H. Pound Presents Fire Department
With $4,000 Check AS An Appreciation OF
Good Service Rendered.

A disastrous fire in the business sec
ton of Julesburg was narrowly avert
ed last Saturday night, due to the
prompt arrival and good work of the
Julesburg Volunteer Fire Department.
At about 9:45 o'clock that evening
a fire was discovered in the frame
building occupied by the L. E. Raglan
Jewelry Store. and shortly after the
alarm was turned in the firemen were
on the scene. No time was lost in get
ting stream of water in action, and
hole cut through the roof at the rear
OF the building where the flames were
making headway. This was follow
ed by second stream of water on the
root IN the front, where second hole
was cut.
For short time it appeared doubt
ful whether or not the flames would
be checked before the fire broke out
IN the interior of the building, and al
so spread to the adjoining frame
building occupied by the Austin &
Mccoy furniture store. In this event
it was realized that the entire busi-
ness block was in danger. Fortunate
ly, by the heroic efforts of the fire
fighters, the fire was checked before
any great damage was done, the
flames being confined to the roof of
the jewelry store building, where they
were extinguished.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated at about 100000, being fully
covered by insurance. A small dam
age was also incurred to the contents,

Players' Club Presents
Three-Act Comedy

"All-Of-A-Sudden Peggy" the Eng
lish comedy, was successfully pre-
sented to fair-sized crowd at the
Hippodrome theatre last Monday even
ing by the Julesburg Players Club.
Although this comedy did not mea-
sure up with the Players Club previ-
Gus production, "a Pair of Skies" it
must be considered that the two plays
are not to be compared, as the latter
is a much more humorous and inter-
esting one from every point OF view;
However, "All-Of-A-Sudden Peggy,
met the approval of the audience, and
the work of E. N. Kelsey, as the Eng
lish Lord, was a scream, 1t belhg
among the best we have seen on the
local stage. Earl Hamilton, Mrs: u
W. Rozell, Miss Duff, c; W. LabaTee'
Miss Bailey, Miss Belva smelser' MRS; Mrs
Walter Law, Allen Westerdahl ana
Francis Rook, the other members o1
the cast are all deserving OF credl-
table mention. The stage settings
were very artistic and added much 10
the success of the entertainment.

Two Days Remain In
Cleanup Campaign

This week is "Clean-Up Week" in
Julesburg. A parade through the
business section Monday morning by
the pupils of the lower grades Of the
public school was one Of the opening
features, the children carrying hoes
rakes and other cleanup implements
along with banners bearing various
inscriptions pertaining to cleanup &C.
tivities.
There has been considerable work
accomplished thus far this week in
cleaning-up Julesburg, and there yet
remains two days of the campaign
Friday is designated as "Dandelior
and Weed Day." There is plenty OF
work to be done to rid our city of the
dandelion and weed pests. Saturday
is "Vacant Lot Day." This is the day
designated to cleanup adjacent vacan,
lots, and thus wind up the big week
of community work.

which loss was also covered by insur-
ance.
The origin of the fire is not definite
ly known, although it is thought that
1t was started from burning cigar or
cigarette in the rear and outside Of
the building. The work of repairing
was commenced Monday.
As an appreciation of the work per-
formed by the members of the Jules
burg Volunteer Fire Department, w.
H. Pound, owner of the building pre-
sented the department with 5000
check the following day.
For the third time in the past year
the Walrath & Sherwood warehouse
near the Union Pacific railroad yards
caught fire Wednesday morning at
about ten o'clock, and for a short time
it looked as though a disastrous con-
flagration would be the result, as the
flames were getting good headway
when the Julesburg Volunteer Fire
Department, who made very prompt
response to the fire alarm, arrived on
the scene. Two lines of hose were
quickly put in action, and the flames
were extinguished in record time by
the firemen, who are making a splen-
did reputation as fire fighters, not
withstanding their handicap of not
having modern equipment, such as q
truck, etc. Not much damage was
incurred to the building. The origin
of the fire is presumed to have been
caused from sparks of locomotive.

1.-THE practice of employing four
locomotives on the passenger run be-
tween Omaha and Denver, distance
of approximately 500 miles, was
abandoned Monday by the Union Pa
cific railroad system, according to an
announcement by Division Superin-
tendent A. F. Wick Roy. Hereafter
only one locomotive will be utilized
for the entire trip.
1.-The first passenger train to make
the run without the customary chang
es at Grand Island. North Platte and
Sterling, Colo, arrived in Denver
Monday morning at 7:3O o'clock, ex-
actly on time. No engine trouble of
any kind was experienced.
Heretofore the impression pre-
vailed among railroad men that chang
es of locomotives were necessary be-
cause of difference in water, overhead
ing and other things" Superintendent
Wick Roy said. "By experiments in
chemical treatment of water, how
ever, it has been discovered that ex-
act uniformity can be obtained, elm
mating foaming and it's attendant bad
effects on boilers, pipes and Innings.
"The Union Pacific will use only one
engine between Omaha, Cheyenne and
Denver, hereafter on passenger trains.
Under the old system each locomotive
was fired atleast two hours before the
arrival of the train. This caused
waste of fuel.
"The practise of using one locomo-
tive for long runs has been in force in
the southwest for some years. The
Union Pacific, according to Superin-
tendent Wick Roy. is the first western
road to adopt the plan."
