Gov. Melntire’s message to the
legislature is about as long as that
of Presiden Cleveland’s. It, con
tains much informotion and many
good suggestions. It is a happy
thought that the administration of
the past two years has lived with
in its income, and the thanks of
the taxpayers are due the officers.
Whatever else may be said
derogatory of the Cleveland ad
ministrations it has put a big high
feather in its cap in the Venezu
ela intervention, and subsequent
treaty with great Britain. Not
u harder question to deal with has
arisen in the past quarter of a
century, and only skilltul manage

Senate bill No. .‘{*2, introduced
bv Senator Paint er, provides that
any person taking up an estray

The same senator introduced bill i
Ko. 34, which provides that any

will be inaugurated in the lirfll of

lho*Kyite capital. There will be
no fusfc or fliyumery about the in
auguration. and for the fuist time

taxpa\%rs will not be burdened

The government is now rmrning
11 he Union Pacific railroad through
its receivers and it seems to be
doing the work more«succeggffVlly
than the Union Pacific Company
did it. AVhar great harm could
come to either the railroads or lhe j
country it the government should I
run all the railroads, we would!
like to know? A receivership is
as much a government agency as
any other that could .be devised,
and it is a verv noteworthy fact
' that when the owners of a rail road
cannot operate it successfully the
best thing to do with the property
i*F to turn it over to the govern
ment, until‘ft can again he pul up
on a paving basis.—Denver Pep.
If some of the salary bills intro
duced into the senate become laws,
fifth-class counties like ,Baca will
have to go outof business. One
provides SI,OOO salary fora district
clerk, who here almost does noth
mg, and $1.,200 for Go. Judgp who
does not do twenty days work in a
year. The array of salaries for < ’<>
Judge, Dist.,’ Olerk. Treasurer and
Sheriff would aggregrale $4,000 an
amount equal to our total running
expenses last year; to this must b'e
added the salary of assessor at
$1,200 t 051,500 and Go. Clerk at
about SI,OOO. Coiiuj down and

Wo can get plenty of people to fill

There certainly is no immediate
danger of war with Spain’ and the
business men of the east have not
that excuse for refusing to venture
upon new enterprises. The truth
is that they are a cowardly set.
afraid to risk a tafthing upon a
business enterprise, and since that
effects (hem all it puts a stop to
business. It, instead of falling m j
to a tit every time Bryan appears j
upon the streets of Lincoln, the i
business men of Boston and Ne w |
York would invest their money in
enterprises that, would give cm
ployment to labor and make a
market lor farm products’ they
would soon change the aspect of
the situation. They have not
half tlie courage of the ordinary
every-day Colorado prospector.—

With Jeffersonian simplicity
Gov. Adams took charge of tin*
ship of state. The legislature, by
his request, made no appropriation
for inaugural display, as was done
two years ago. 11 i s address isbti- !
sinesslike and straight forward, and
j be means every promise lie makes, i
j The Denver Republican says: i
“As might be expected of a man
1 who has already served acceptably i
: as governor of Colorado, and who
: lias always been a public-spirited i
i citizen and a successful merchant,
(Jov. Adams takes a broad, ration
al, practical view of the duties of!
bis office, and nobodv who knows I
1 him can doubt for a moment that j
i the pledge contained in his inaug j
ural, tliat life and property will be
j protected and that the majesty of
: the law and public peace and or- i
j tier will be maintained during his
administration, will lie faitlifiVdy

Atlorney General (Airi^giveJtne
following opinion regarding legal
holidays for school teach<^rs:J
“Any legal holiday that recurs
during terrti tnne(tliat is beDwt-n
the day that school
and closes) is a holiday for the
teachers, who receive that
day. if Friday after Thnnksgiv
-n-T.R.Vj isjj.it :■ ■■••()•(
other days school is dismissed, the
teacher mav make up that time
on Satjirday or anv time that, suits
the directors. The directors should
be consulted and they should re
gard the convenience of the teach
ers and the patrons of the school.
I am constrained to believe the
construction of the law by the
superintendent of public instruct
ion is correct. If you will read it
carefully you will see that she
holds it to be the duty of teachers
to make up all lost days, except
legal holidays. Those days they
are not required to make iip for
the tune and their pay goes on
the same, it, being the intent ot
the law to give them that much
time. I can see no criticism to be
made upon her answer.”
Just What Miners Want.
All who are, or expect to bo, in
terested in mines will be glad to
know that Henry N. Gopp, the
Washington, (I). C.) land lawyer, 1
has revised Gops Prospector’s Man
uel. 'The minernlogical part of the
work lias been almost entirely re
written by a Colorado mining en
gineer, who has had years of ex- i
perience ns a prospector, assayorj
and superintendent ol mines and 1
United States surveyor.
'fhe bobk is a popular treatise l
on assaying and meneralogv. and
will be found useful to ail who I
wish to discover mines. The first J
part of the work gives the United
States mining laws and rcgula J
tions, how to locate and survey a \
mining claim, various forms and |
much valuable information. The I
price is 50 cents at the principal
book stores, or of the author.

The New Hook Spoon Free to All:
I read in the Christian Standard
that Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A. St.
Louis, Mo., would give an elegant
plated hook spoon to anyone send
ing her fen 2 cent stamps. I sent
for one and found it so iiselui that
I showed it to my friends, and made
$13.00 in two hours, t king orders
lor the spoon. The look spoon is a
household necessity. It cannot slip
into the dish orcooking \essei, be
ing held in the place by a hook on
the back. The spoon is something
that housekeepers have needed ev
er since spoons were first invented.
Anyone can get a sample spoon by
sending ten 2-ctmt stamps to Miss
Fritz. This is a splended way to
make monev around home.

in tiie Christian Advocate where
.Miss A. M. Fritz of Si at ion A, St.

combination dipper for 18 two cent
stamps, and I ordered one. I saw
the dipper could lie used as a fruit
jar filler; a plain dipper; a funnel;
a line strainer; a strainer funnel; a
sick room warming pan and a pint
measure. These eight different uses
1 makes t he dipper such a necessary
• article that I went to work with ii
1 and it sells at very near every
house. And in four months 1 paid
ofl’the moricage. I think I can clear
as much as S2OO a liienth If you
need work you can d. well bv giv

Ayer ? s Fills
Arc compounded with the view to
general usefulness and adaptability.
They are composed of tlie purest
vegetable aperients. Their delicate
sugar-coating, which readily dis
solves in the stomach, preserves
their full medicinal value and makes
them easy to take, either by old or
young. For constipation, dyspep
sia, biliousness, sick headache, and
the common derangements of Iho
Stomach, Liver, and Bowels f
also, to check colds and fevers,
Ayer’s Fills
Arc the Best
Unlike other cathartics, the effect
of Ayer’s Fills is to strengthen,
the excretory organs and restore to
them their regular and natural ac
tion. Doctors everywhere prescribe
them. In spite of immense compe
tition, they have always maintained
their popularity as a family med
icine, being in greater demand
now than ever before. They are put
up both in vials and boxes, and
whether for home use or travel,
Ayer’s Fills are preferable to any
other. Have you ever tried them?
