M. resulted in tlie death of 170 miners. Notwithstanding the physicians and nurses believed Mrs. Beecher, s vitality would have been exhausted days ago. she still lives although growing weaker all the time. Bayard, embassador to England lias taken formal leave ol Ins English friends, who offered a banquet in bis honor. The Euglirh have taken a special liking to Mr. Bayard ami this naturally causes many Americans to think less of, him. Reports come from Wyoming and the extreme northern part of the state of a severe storm on the 1st inst., that will cause a loss of 20 to 30 c /i> of stock. The snow is very deep and ranchmen in the Platte valley report the greatest loss in years. The inauguration of a new presi dent Thursday probably took place with the greatest demonstration ever seen at such an event. Cleve land steps out and McKinley steps in. No important change will be made unless it be in the tariff schedule. The incoming adminis tration is in perfect accord with the outgoing one on financial issues. The officers of the District Normal Institute have met and decided to hold the next session of the Institute in La Junta some time in August. The officers are the Superintendents of Otero, Bent and Kiowa counties. Mr. Biggs of this county is president; Mrs. Liggett, of Kiowa, seceetary, and Geo. E. Me Cauley, of Bent county, treasurer.—Otero County Democrat. A Special from Mew York, says: “If the Democratic National con vention met to-morrow, would William J. Bryan again he chosen as the Democuatic candidate for president?'” The result is an ex traordinary concensus of opinion, showing, with hardly an exception, that the Democratic organizations everywhere, as well as the Demo cratic National committee, are as devoted to Mr. Bryan as ever. A majority ot them believe lie will not only be nominated, hut elect ed. —Denver Republican. A hill to provide for a constitu tional convention to frame a new constitution for Colorado has been favorably reported by the commit tee of the whole in the House of the Eleventh General Assembly. It ought to be killed. Our present constitution is good enough, and big enough, and broad enough to meet all the requirements ot the state for a great many years to come, with such minor amend tnents as the people may see lit to adopt from time to time, and noth ing would he gained by . saddling the taxpayers with the expense of a constitutional convention at this time. —Denver Republican. The legislature is hound to re main in session the full ninety days. If the members could draw v- ■" .iiiu»i v 'Me* <!\ 1! would last that long. Senator Taylor had the audacity to say a lew days ago that the senate has yet accomplished absolutely noth ing. The frank admission drew lorth a volley ol abuse upon the senators head, hut on the assump tion that a guilty conscience its own accuser it is likely that he spoke something like the truth. There is too much schoolboy talk going on in each branch of the legislature. There is no excuse for the idleness of the members and they are holding the state up for so many per diems. If the legis lature has really nothing to do it should adjourn and stop the ex pense. Senator Taylor, in lact, suggested as much hut he was vot ed a crank.—lndicator. When our grandmothers gave their world-renowned “tea-party.’ in Boston harbor, the question of whether or no taxation without representation should he permit ted was by no means finally set tled; it has constantly reappeared in one form or another. The majority of teachers in this country are women. In the pub lic schools, including even the high schools, 90 percent of the teachers are women, hut they are in the minority w hen it comes to salary and to counsel. In Colora do we have a state association for teachers, where a woman is allow dd to pay her taxes and share in the work, hut wo have never as yet had a woman president. There is in Colorado a School mas ters’ Club. Do our women teach ers do what, they are told without demur? Are men so wise, that women are always justified in de ferring to them? Are men so wise that they always make the best leaders, and so wise that, being leaders, they need not ask advice of the women? Ihe Committee of Ten and the Committee of Fifteen, from the National Educational Association, which passed upon and revised the course of study for schools taught almost exclusively by women-were those committees composed entirely ol men, or did the women have some representa tion thereon? Is it possible that the women teachers oft lie country have nothing of value to offer when the best plans for the evolv ing of the child are under discus sion? In the general organization organization ot the National Edu cations! Association women have little if any voice. Occasionally a woman or two may he put on Hie Nominating committee simply as a sop to local feeling. The Na tional Educational Association is made up of people about 90 per cent of whom teach in the lower grades of the schools and are of tlie gentler sex, but the National Edu .-ational Association is run by ana for the men. It is not late in the history of the world to make this sex distinction so prominent in the administration of affairs nr which hotli sexes are greatly inter ested? The distinction should he one ol knowledge and power, not of sex. On the other hand it is very possible, not to say probable, that women are not so able as men in the work of education in any de partment. It that is the case, those in authority should, as soon as may be, employ men in place of women in t lie grade schools. The children should have the advantages of the very best talent. The younger | the children the more plastic they are, the more susceptible to the possible effects of educational work. It is in the lower grades that the very highest ability should be employed and tlie very best work should he clone. If women are doing this work well, they are the ones to take the lead in edu cational associations, they are the ones to he consulted in education al discussions. If they are not do ing it well, let men take their place as rapidly as possible. \ The leading literary and educa tional institution ol the state, or rather one of them, has lately cel ebrated a jubilee over a large en dowment fund just raised. Lead ing men educators appeared on t.lie programme. Are there no SPRINGFIELD, BACA COUNTY, COLORADO, FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1897. high sounding a word- are there no women teachers-worthy of as sociating with these men in a great educational jubilee? Perhaps if a council of mothers were to he call ed in this state it would he neces sary, were the subjects for discus sion to he wisely treated, that men only he sent as delegates. Of course it may he said that women in any walk of life are not the equal of men. They do not have the grasp of a situation; they do not have the incentive to apply themselves continuously to one thing; they are reluctant to push themselves forward; thev are afraid of offending the canons of good taste; thev in general are not all around as competent as men are. But it does not follow from these unpalatable facts that they may wisely he ignored in the constitu tion or the high councils of any kind ot educational association.— Denver Republican The Power Above And Behind All Thrones Is Public Opinion. PUBLIC OPINION (New York) represents the result of culling the most interesting and impor taut articles and items ol news from about 3,000 newspapers, magazines , and reviews. A single issue often contains matter from 150 different periodicals. The cost of these publications would amount to hundreds of dollars a week and even by constant read ing no one could gather tlie assort ed knowledge that is presented each week to the readers of PUB LIC OPINION. The editors re lieve you of trouble and exp« nee. The field of American and For eign Affairs is thoroughly covered and the best thought of the day is presented under tlie heads of Sei oloirical. Scientific, Religious, Letters and Art, Miscellanv, and Business and Finance. Send to the publishers for a sample copy.

My husband is poor but proud and does not want me to work, as I have nothing to do I get restless, and alter reading in your paper of Mrs. Russell’s experience selling self-healing flatirons I concluded 1 would try it. I wrote to J. F. Casy ifcCo. St Louis Mo., and they treated me so nicely that 1 feel very much encouraged. As soon as 1 got my sample iron I started out and sold 8 irons the firs! day, clearing #l2. I have not sold less than 8 any day and one day l sold 17. I now have $225 clear money, and my husband does not know I have been work ing, hut I am afraid he will he mad when I tell him. Have I done right or should 1 quit, work and leave him to struggle alone? An Anxious Wife. You are doing just right, your husband should be proud ot you, go right ahead and show the world what an energetic woman can do.

St. Louis, Mo. would give an elegant plated hook spoon to anyone send ing her ten 2 cent stamps. I sent for one ami found it so useful that i showed it to my friends, and made sl3.ooin two hours, t king orders u>r the spoon. The hook spoon is a household necessity. It cannot slip into the dish or cooking vessel, be ing held in the place by a hook on ilie hack. The spoon is something ilia* housekeepers have needed ev er since spoons were first invented. Anyone can get a sample spoon hv sending ren 2cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This is a splended way to make mooev around home. Very truly, Jeanette S. How the Dipper Saved the Farm. Father was sick and the mortgage on the farm was coming due, 1 kaw in liie Clirisiiau Advocate where .Miss A. M. Friiz of Station A, St. Louis. Mo., would send a sample combination dipper for 18 two cent stamps, and 1 ordered one. 1 saw i lie dipper could he used as a fruit jar filler; a plain dipper; a funnel; a fine strainer; a strainer funnel; a sick room warming pan and a pint measure. These eight different uses makes the dipper such a necessary article that 1 went to work with it and it sells at very near every house. And in four months 1 paid off the mortgage. I think I can clear as much as S2OO a month. If you need work you can do well by giv ing this a trial. Miss A. M. Fritz Station A, St. Louis, Mo., will send you a sample lor 18 2 cent stamps— write at once. John G. N. Make Your Own Lantern. Your home is incomplete without it, and the price is within reach of all. I ordered one lor my own use— and it was so handy and convenient. I went to taking orders for them and sold 51 m one day making over $5 clear. It gives a beautiful white light, chimneys never break from heat, it is always clean and ready. Francis Casey, St. Louis, Mo., will send sample for 13 two cent stamps write for one. 1 got my start from him. George B. Marry This Girl Quick. T saw in your paper that a 13 year old hoy made $1 25 the first hour lie worked selling the Perfection Met al Tip Lampwick. 1 ordereJ a sam ple and went to work and the first week 1 cleared $lO, tlie second week I cleared sls. I expect to run up to $25 a week in the near future, as the Perfection Metal Tip Lamp wick makes such a beautiful white light and does away with smokey chimneys and had odor and saves oil, it is easy to sell. If you wish to try it send 13 two cent stamps to .Miss A.M.Fritz, fetation A. St. Louis Mo . and she will send you sample outfit, tins is a good wav to make money around home. Miss Tima W. Money, Make It Yourself. I haye never seen anything in lhe pa pet's about tlie People’s Windmill; we call it the People's because the inventor never patent ed it, but let eve.vbody use it tree. Any farmer can make a mill him self, and all the material complete will not cost over $lO. ll is a splen did mill, will pump the deepest of wells, and will last, longer than any miil J ever had. Any person can get diagrams and complete directinds, free as 1 did, by sending 18 two-rent stamps to pay postage etc., to Francis Casey, St. Louis Mo he sells pumps also and when you get your wind mill going would he glad to sell you a pump if you need it. It is certainly useless to pay SSO or SOO for a wind mill when you can make one just as good lor $lO. 1 think there could be big money made putting these mills up through tfie country as everybody likes them. 2 A Reader.

For Bronchitis “I i.ever realized the good of a medi cine so much as I have in the last few months, during which time 1 have suf fered intensely from pneumonia, followed by bronchitis. After trying various rem edies without benefit, 1 began the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, ami the effect has been marvelous, a single doso re lieving me of choking, and securing a good night’s rest.”—T.
