AN ELECTRIC LINE
WILL CONNECT DENVER WITH THIS
CITY IN NEAR FUTURE.
NEWHOUSE CONTROLS LAKEWOOD
FUTURE PLANS CONTEMPLATE EXTEN
SION OF LINE TO THIS POINT.
At Denver last Thursday the Denver, 1
Tpecial master in chancery sale and was
bid in by the Farmers’ Loan ami Trust
company, or in other words, interests
closely allied with Mr. Samuel Newhouse.
In speaking of the sale, the Denver Times
of Thursday says:
The Denver, Lakewood & Golden r i -
road, operating between Denver and Gol
en, Colo., was sold this morning on the
courthouse steps by Special Master in
Chancery Marshall K. John-un for $175
000. The purchaser was the Farmers’
Loan and Tru-t company of New York,
and the purchase was made for the account
of the bond and coupon holders of the
road. This simply means that the road 1
will be thoroughly reorganized within
the next few days and a “new policy of
operation” outlined. The policy, while
u< t officially announced at this moment
w ill be the extension of the line through
to Idaho Springs, the altaudonment f
steam for electricity and the virtual met
morpbosia of the little liue into a rt.d
trunk line. The Sam Newhouse interests
are at the helm now and little time will
be lost in getting things into ojK-ratiou.
Mr. BSauc stattd after the sale was o\* r
that he would remain in Denver long
enough to compute the transfer of the
property aud to effect the reorganization
of the new company. Tins would lie the
matter of a lew davs only, he said. The
r-'jd, he thought, would l>e extended eon
s.derably. but that was a matter for the
organization commute to consider. But
there is to lie a new era of activity in the
ad from now on. This was the exten
sion of the toad by the wagon road route
to Idaho Springs, when a stiff bid will be
made for hau’ages of ores from all the
Gilpin and Clear Creek mir.es. There
will l>e a summer resort near Golden and
the road will be equipped with the very
best of electrical motive outfits.
Memorial Day Plans
The committee having in charge the
exercises fur Decoration day have arrang
ed the following program at the opera
house:
Overture. Silver Plume Cornet Band.
Invocation, Rev. Father McCabe.

Address to old soldiers. Rev. Nathan
Hugh Lee.

A number of the secret societies have
•ognified their intention to participate in
the parade and go to the cemetery.
These will line up in the following order:
The G. A. R. in carriages.
K. of P. Lodge.
Ihe various lodges in the order of the
date of the local chaiter.
The Silver Plume Cornet Band.
School Children.
City Council.
. Fire Department.
The usual line of march will lie follow
ed. east on Miner Jtreet to 17th avenue to |
Colorado street and west on Colorado to
12th avmue thence to the cemetery.
Dig The Dandelions.
Residents living along Colorado street
are waging a warfare on the unsightly
uandelion that is making a struggle to
monopolize the law ns, and up to the pres
ent time the contest for supremacy is
about an even one. With unusual per
sistency the obnoxious plant is taking up
more room than ever, aud it requires,
many hours rf hard labor for the prop-'
erty ow ners to keep pace with tbegrowth. j
In fighting the plant there are two es- i
sential matters that should be fully real
ized. The first is that all labor will be
lost if you clean and grub out all the
plants and your neighbor does not, for
the seed being very light, is migratory,
and the work will have to be all gone
over again next year. The second is that
in order to erradicate the plant, the root
aud all must be taken out, and not just
the flower and stem.
If every one will look after their own
premises and work together with one
accord the nuisance can be abated, but in
this way alone can it be done. It has
b *en suggested that an ordinance be
adopted declaring the plant a nuisance,
and the propagation of it a misdemeanor.
The origion of the plant in Idaho
Springs is laid at the door of a former
Cident of the city who imported it here
order to use it in the brewing of a tea
wnich be claimed bad valuable medi
cinal properties.

County Assessor Geo. Meyers passed

home to Georgetown from a several
weeks’ visit to the fair at St. I-ouis. Mr.

place at the brick yards grounds on Mem

one-old-cat, and this will give us a game
with all the trimmings.

team that will put all other organizations
out of the business. An effort is being
made to persuade Chas. Brandstetter to
take the management, as he is well up in
the sport. The gronds will be put ip good

Found Explosives.
A pedestrian on Virginia street last
j Tuesday found a fiackagccontaining a doz
; c-n 5X dynamite cape in the center ot the
roadway and the explosives were carried
at arms length to a place of safety. The
1 c »ps w re loosely tier! in a silk handker
> 1 luef and no doubt were dropped from a
wagon Being composed of highly ex
• plosive properties, it is fortunate that
they were discovered before an accident
re«ulted. Experts claim that each of the
caps has a lifting capacity of several
hundred pounds and are susceptible to
j the slightest jar or pressure. Jlad a wa
gon tire struck the package, it is reason
able to sup(»ose that a serious accident
: wonld have resulted. Too much care
cannot !»e exercised in the transportation
I of these explosives.
A Struggle for Supremacy
! A small sized riot occurred last Sunda
evening. I; w.-.s *1! caused by a girl. I« !
, seems that there was some controversey I
1 regarding who should escort the young
; lady home from church. It is said that
there wen* at least six of the young men,
a d they .*ll wanted the honor, while it is
‘ presumed that the girl had nothing to
say as to her choice. They were on Miner
street when a chewing match finally led
to a battle. While the war was in pr
gress Night Officer Ogden hove in sight
and gathered in four of the beligerent
gallants ami a haled rival escorted th l
young damsel to her domc-eile. Monday
morning Magistrate Griswold heard the
case and decided that the j»eace and dig
nity of the city should he maintained,
especially on Snnday night, and the
heartless minion of the law- fined each of
the quartette the sum of £3 and costs, the
total amounting to eight plunks per.

sufferings of Mrs. Hattie Knoettge, 1 tiee
Elliott) at 10:30 o’clock last .Saturday

that the lady was ill, none thought that
death was near, ami the announcement
on Sunday morning came as a great
shock to the entire community.
Funeral .-ervices were conducted from
the family home on Colorado street
Tuesday afternoon, a large concourse of
friends assembling to pay their last re

A Peculiar Mineral Specimen.
In a car load of ore brought down from
the Qld Town to the Jackson mill the
first pf the week, was a large chunk of
rock, weighing perhaps 25 pounds, in
w hich was found a missed shot that pen
etrates entirely through the stone. The
hole Con’ains a large quantity of powder,
in fact is entirely filled with the explo
sive. What would have happened if the
dynamite had gone under the stamps or
into the rolls is out n conjecture, but tin
owners of the curiosity are much better
contented to h ive it in the cabinet at the
Cascade office. The rock was probably
blowil oil by one of the other shots before
the cap t xploded on the charge.

“A Homespun Heart” which comes to
the «’i*era home on Thursday, May 26,
always gives excellent and universal sat
-1 isfaction. The play which is written by
; Hal Reid is certainly a master piece. In
| this play pathos, comedy aud tradegy are
I neatly intermingled, just enough of each
quality and not too much of any one. A
play that the most fastidious can find
no fault with. A play with a plot finely
concealed and not too abruptly brought.
A play that leaves a lasting and favor
able impression upon its andience. In
fact too much praise con not be given ‘‘A
Homespun Heart.” It is such plays as ,
this that elevates the stage. The scenery ;
carried by the company is entirely in j
keeping with the play, being very beau- !
tiful and extremely realistic. The cast i
was of the best, every one a star, and this
was most clearly evidenced by the com
pany being compelled to give a curtain
call after each of the four acts. High
class specialties are introduced through
out the action of the play.
Prof. Hall went to Denver this morn -
