to some people to see their
neighbors begin to look for
New Model ads as soon as
they pick up their paper.
But the ones who do it
show their good, judgment.
New Model ads tell of an
easy way to make the family
purse do its full duty ; tell how to get the most out of
any amount that may be put into it. No high prices
and big profits here. We don't believe in 'em. If
you're prejudiced if you think low-priced stores
can't give good values as good values for low prices
as the other kind give- for high prices, come in. We'll
be glad to point out your mistake and we can con

STAGNATION.
Heavy Blow to Colorado's

Thirty Thousand Men to Cease
Working.
STRIKE AT SMELTERS
About to Paralyze Entire
Mining Business.
Trouble Grows Out of
Eight Hour Law.
New
Denver, Col., June 15. Thirty thous
and men in Colorado will be out of
work within the next three days unless
steps are taken to end the strike of the
smelter employes.
The Omaha and Grant and the Globe
in Denver, the Bimetallic and the Ar
kansas Valley at Leadville, the Filers
and the Colorado smelters at Pueblo
are closed.
The Argo smelter in Denver has com
plied with the eight hour law and is
still running. The Guggenheim smelter
at Pueblo also is running. The closed
works are under guard but nowhere
have the men made any demonstration.
At Central City the men employed in
the stamp mills are expected to strike
today. These mines have already clos
ed: The Commodore, Amethyst, Bach
elor, Bachelor No. 2, and Last Chance
mines in the Creede district; the Calli
ope and Hagerty, at Ouray; the Carib
bean and Montezuma, near Ophir; the
Iron Mask and Black Iron at Red
Cliff; the Smuggler at Aspen.
The Porter Fuel company at Durango
has closed, throwing 150 men out of
work.
From all parts of the state come re
ports that mines are reducing forces.
At Leadville 900 men have been dis
charged and in view of the orders to
ship no more ore to the closed smelters
little except development work is going
on. The loss in wages to the men at
Durango by the 12 days closing of the
smelter Is $50,000.
Should the mines close all over the
state 500 railroad men will be thrown
out of employment.
Four mines of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, three near Canon City
and one in Pitkin county, have been
shut down on account of wage differences.
DECLINES BIG OFFER.
Rev. C. N. Sheldon Offered $5,000 For
50 Lectures In Europe.
The modesty, which is known to be
genuine, of Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon
keeps from the public a number of good
news items. The popularity of this
now famous author causes him to re
ceive many flattering offers to lecture.
These offers are generally met with a
refusal, and in so doing Mr. Sheldon
tries to carry out the ideas in his book
"In His Steps."
This paper learns indirectly, but from
an authentic source, that Mr. Sheldon
has recently received an offer by tele
gram, followed by a letter, offering him
$5,000 and all his expenses for a series
of fifty lectures in Europe, where sev
eral million copies of "In His Steps"
have been issued. When Mr. Sheldon
received this offer he said: "I cannot
accept it. It might ruin the influence of
the book. Furthermore, I am devoted
to my church in Topeka.
Mr. Sheldon has accepted two Invita
tions for about the middle of July to
lecture at Chautauqua assemblies in
Buffalo and Detroit, but for which he
receives no compensation. It is un
derstood that Rev. and Mrs. Sheldon
may visit Europe next year.
The trustees of Washburn college re
cently decided to honor Mr. Sheldon
with the degree of doctor of divinity,
but Mr. Sheldon heard of the plan and
requested the trustees not to confer it.

State Horticultural Society Book
. Limited to lOO Pages.
Secretary W. H. Barnes of the State
Horticultural society has issued a re
port which contains a record of the pro
ceedings of the thirty-second annual
meeting of the state society held in To
peka last December. All papers pre
sented at the meeting, discussions and
other useful information are found in
the report.
Much important matter has been
omitted from the report owing to the
fact that the legislature limited it to
100 pages. The secretary and the pres
ident. Judge Fred Welihouse, believe
more space should be given to these
reports and cite the fact that adjoining
states permit the publication of a re
port carrying from 400 to 600 pages.
Mr. Barnes has already issued a val
uable report upon the Kansas Apple
and is now preparing another on the
Kansas Peach.
SCHLEY RECITES IT.
The Admiral Gives Iron quill's Dewey
Lines at a Banquet.
Glen Miller, formerly of Kansas, but
now of Salt Lake City, writes to a per
sonal friend in Topeka about a banquet
given a few evenings ago by Governor
Wells of Utah, to Rear Admiral Schley.
Mr. Miller says that on that occasion
the admiral recited, with much expres
sion, Ironquill's famous Dewey poem,
as follows:
"O. Dewey was the morning.
Upon the first of May,
And Dewey was the admiral
Down in Manila bay;
And Dewey were the Regent's eyes,
Them' orbs of royal blue!
And Dewey feel discouraged?
I Dew not think we Dew."
Mr. Miller says that Admiral Schley
gave credit to a "Kansas poet" and
that the recitation was received with
cheers.
WICHITA MASONIC HOME.
Board Holds Its Annual Meeting and
Re-elects Officers.
Wichita, June 15. The board of man
agers of the Masonic home in this city
held its annual meeting Tuesday.
During the past year $8,000 has been
expended in improvements.
The board decided to build a four
room hospital on the ground owing to
the prevalence of sickness of late
among the inmates. The sick cannot
now be cared for properly, as it is not
possible to separate them from the
other inmates. The new building will
not be an expensive one, but will be
equipped in the best manner and be
large enough to accommodate the sick
of the institution.
The expenses of the institution during
the past year have been $5,000. Dur-
and has been conducted in a safe and
careful manner.
The officers of the board were reelected.
CUBANS BUY GUNS.
In Order to Get tbe $75 From the
Government.
Havana, June 15. Lieut. Col. W. H.
Bisbee paid 350 men at Guanajay yes
terday and there are 500 still unpaid.
The arms of those who have been paid
have been delivered to the alcalde.
Many of those who had no arms de
manded arms from the mayor but were
refused. The men then assumed a
threatening attitude and the officers in
command ordered the troops to guard
the building and telegraphed to General
Brooke asking permission to extend the
time of payment, as some of the Cubans
are entirely destitute and many of them
without means of returning to their
homes.
A guard was quartered in the town all
night and the signal office was kept
open waiting for the governor general's
message granting an extension of the
time. The Cubans bought all the re
volvers in town and Cuban officers hav
ing rifles sold them for as much as $25.
The arms will probably be returned if
the men are not paid as they were only
purchased as a means of obtaining the
paymaster's recognition.
At Cardenas, Policemen Rodriguez
and Hernendez who were off duty were
gathering fruit about a league from
town when they were attacked by Mar
teli Ribero and Felix Piloto, two out
laws, who escaped from jail in May.
Rodriguez was shot through the abdo
men and retreated to the city. The out
laws were armed with Mauser rifles and
mounted on horses stolen last week. At
Romedios the payment of the Cubans
continues briskly. Many who gave up
their arms.in May have been asking the
alcalde to return them in order to en
able them to receive payment.
POURING IX.
Protests Against Asylum Location
Kansas Editor's Despair.
Decatur county, the home of Frank
Reeder, the Populist representative who
stood by Clay Center in the balloting
for the new asylum, has sent a lon
protest to the governor against the ac
tion of the committee.
The protest is on the blanks sent out
from Clay Center but it contains about
100 signatures. The signers of the doc
ument are representatives of all politi
cal parties and are leading business
men and citizens.
A western Kansas editor, residing in
the Fifth district, has written a per
sonal letter to the governor concerning
the asylum scandal in which he says:
"What's the use of having an invest
igation. We can't find out the facts.
The committee, we know, made a
good thing out of the deal and put the
asylum in an out of the way place. So
let 'er go at that and fight it out in the
campaign."
This letter.whileittookthe governor's
breath for a moment, amused him very
much.
Race Track Improvements Sold.
St. Louis, June 15. All the improve
ments, including the long grand stand,
the massive betting ring inclosure and
other buildings of the Madison race
track at Madison, 111., have been sold
to a wrecking company for $400. The
wrecking company will clear the
ground, which will probably be used
by the Terminal association as a switch
ing yard. The Madison track was
started in 1S92, but after running sev
eral years it was compelled to close
down.

Chicago. June 15.
WHBAT?Wheat showed tirmness today 1
on a decidedly narrow trade. The opening j
was lirm at a slight advance, September j
starting at 7674fa77V4c, compared with yes- I
terday's closing price of 76c. Buyers
were encouraged by Beerbohm's report on t
the condition of the Russian crops, th.tt I
authority stating tnat wneat was lost in
a large area north of the Black sea. This
report also affected Liverpool, that market
showing fractional advances. Weather
conditions in this country were ideal in
the northwest, but unfavorable in the
southwest, where harvesting operations
are going on, too much rain being reported
from there. September advanced to 7ic
son after the opening. Considerable selling
was done against calls, but the advance
was checked only momentarily, and by 11
o'clock September had touched 77c.
Northwest receipts were 417 cars, against
928 last week and 119 a year ago. Cnicago
receipts were 161 cars.
CORN Corn was quiet but firm with

There was some covering by shorts. Sep- !

PROVISIONS Provisions were steady :
on a light trade. There was a scattered
demand from shorts which was met bv
selling by packers. September pork opened

Joseph's Tips.
New York, June 15. Foreign houses are
without orders for London account. Those
who are inclined to be bearish on Sugar
should permit facts to govern them. The
American Sugar Refining company is not
a trust in any sense of the word: it is
not a monopoly, nor does it interfere with
anybody, individuals or congregations of
capital, going into the sugar retinin busi
ness. For many years the American Su
gar Refining company has paid its divi
dends at the rate of 12 per cent and there
is nothing, as far as Well street Is con
cerned, that will prevent the payments of
its profits taking place .at the same late.
Tne feeling on coal stocks is vs confi
dent as it has been at anv time and higher
prices are looked for. Mr. Flower i. bull
ish on B. R. T., intimating that it wi:i
sell at 200 before the year is out. Directors
: of Federal fateol will declare a quarterly
j dividend of 14 per cent on common shares
at their meeting on Friday. .1 ms will be
in addition to the quarterly dividend of
l per cent on preferred shares.
