Sunday Closing in Denver.
Last Sunday evening was an
eventful one iu Denver. By order
of the public board of commissioners
the Tabor Grand and Wonderland
were summarily closed under the
law against Sunday amusements
which act caused considerable ex
eitement and much comment by the
press. The Denver Times probably
voiced the ideas of the people of
that city as well as of the other
newspupers when it said editoraiiiy:
Tlie trouble lies in the law. It is
safe to assert that a very small man
her of the voting population of either
Denver or of Colorado believe in the
wisdom of this law. There is no
good reason, based upon propriety or
common sense, why such an enter
tainment as tlie concert given at tln-
Tabor Opera House each Sunday
night should be interfered with by
tlie police. Any law that prohibits
such an entertainment is a rank prac
tical failure and should be repealed
at once.
It is understood that last night's
raid was made upon the complaint of
one Dean H. Martyn Hart. It is
also generally believed thut this
same gentleman is not a citizen of
the United States. Now the question
arises: Should the police pay any
attention to such a complaint?
The Sunday amusement law is a
bad one anyway, uud it is time it
was made obnoxious by enforcement.
Its repeal is only a question of a
short time.
STEEL WORKS SPARKS.
Lutnbor is ba unloaded at the rate of
a half dozen cars per day for another
large trustle. This trustle of immense
proportions will be I,GOO feet long, and
the stock house will be 1,200 feet long
and ninety feet wide. The demand for
more room for raw material has require#
this now structure and it will be a fine
one, not loss than 1,500,000 feet of
lumber being necessary. The material
is mostly black jack pine and comes
fresh from the saw mills of New Mex
ico.
The brick layers are working on a
new dynamo building close to engine
house No. 3. The building will be
final) but convenient.
Tho furnace in the bloom mill is
finished and reudy to be tired. The ad
dition of this furnace will boa big ad
vantage inasmuch as it will hurry along
the bloom and rail departments by keep
ing boated ingots always reudy for
use.
Bricklayers are malting progress oil
the now blacksmith shop being built ad
joining the south side of tiio converter.
Supt Crow is determined to have things
convenient about his department.
Tlie uniformity in tho steel now being
made greatly assists in facilitating work
in the bloom and rail mill. From tho
time an ingot readies tho Ifloom mill un
til it is oxumiued by tho rail straightner
it glides smoothly along, no unusually
hard or soft spots being found to hinder
the work. The host rails in the world
are being made, the soconds or second
class rails not amounting to more than
two per cent. Colorado material for rail
making takes the lead in this country.
The electric light plant is undergoing
a careful inspection by un electrician
and a number of lights will dispel the
darknes of night iu the works in the
course of a couple of weeks. Plenty of
lights is a howling necessity and its ad
vent will be welcome. True, there was
a system of lighting iu use for a time
but it was a very poor one and gradually
died out altogether.
Each 12 hour shift is averaging in the
rail mil) nbout 185 tons of rails. On
Tuesday Overseer Dave Lloyd’s shift
turned out 201 tons but this was a little
in advanoe of the ordinary run. How
ever this record wae beaten by the same
turn last week when it made the
heaviest tonnage ever produced in the
mills—2l3 tons. Leyd’s men were on
the night shift when the work was done
and no time was idled away.
April first will probably see each shift
in the rolling mill handling not less than
250 tons. Improvements will make this
possible.
Ther# waa considerable dissatisfaction
manifested by the men laat Saturday by
the slowness with which they were paid
off. Tl.is feature of the steel works
aheuld get a Colorado hustle on itself
and be up with the time#.
The committee which went to Chioago
and Joliet Illinois two weeks age at the
instance of Supt. T. W. Robinson to gst
a soals of press being paid bv the Illi
nois Steel 00. returned Tuesday night
and will probably submit n report to

CITY AFFAIRS.
The City Council Versus tin* Peoples
Party.
The members of the* city council who
refused tlio privileges of tho hall to
tlie peoples party and those who up
hold such an arbitrary action will
lind themselves in a hopeless minor
ity when the next municipal elec
tion comes round. The defense set
up by tlie council that tho petition
ers asked for tlie hall as council No.
2, uud not as the peoples party is a
very weak one. It is u thi:i veneer
ing that fails to hide in the least the
purpose of tho council, for n.Tt only
they hut every one who is taking
any notice whatever of the trend of
public alfairs in tin* city knew of
the organization of the peoples party
and for the better discussion of
municipal alfairs had resolved it
self iuto u moot er mimic council.
The Indicator published tlie re
ports of the peoples party meetings
at the time aud every rending man
iu tho city knew of the proceedings.
I'he aldermen knew before hand
that the hull would be applied for
and came to the meeting pre
pared.
Whether or not tho second council
would “burlesque” the city council
is a question that can he foretold
only by prophets and very wise al
dermen of this city; and just why
council should object to having its
otllcial acts discussed is a matter
causing much comment.
It is tlie intention of t!m much
talked of and seemingly much feared
second council to discuss tlie affairs
of the city and enact into spurious
ordinances certain measures as they
would have thorn and to transact
business according to their ideas.
If, in the discussion of these affairs
exceptions to the official ai ts of the
city council are taken, has any
crime been committed? Is the
council not subject to criticism?
Certainly it is. If the critic council
declares that tho viaduct should
have been built across Northern avi
nue six mouths ago who shall say
that the criticism is not just? No
one. Not a man woman or child iu
tlie city will deny it.
As tlie Indicaok said last week
the peoples party is organized into
an educative association and its
mission is to prepare for the ap
proaching election by outlining the
necessities of tlie city and publish
ing tlie manner in which they
would conduct them. If any man
is iu tlie way let him step aside; the
engine never stops for tlie goat.
PUEBLO POINTERS.
A. E. Graham has boon elected his
own successor as president of tlie board
of trade. Mr. Graham is always on the
nlort for anything relating to tho in
terests of his city and is now in Denver
waiting on tho legislature in its be
half.
J, A. Wayland, tho retired editor of
the Coming Crisis has decided to start
a peoples party paper somewhere in
Indiana, probably in Groensburg. Mr.
Wayland says tlie Hoosiors are in the
right mood for some new party idoas
and he will proceed to tell them what
lias been done in this state and what
they can do if they will.
The dry goods and clothing houses
did a big business as a result of the
pay day at tho Bessemer steel works.
W. R. Gregg, tho orstwliile C. C. «fc 1.
coal dealer well known in Bessemer has
fallen under a financial crash. On Tues
day two heavy attachments one of sll,-
400 by tlio American National bank, and
one for SIO,OOO by W. B. Williams of
Denver were run on him. Whether or
not Mr. Gregg (ran straighten up his
business affairs is not known.
Heavy Freight Receipts.
Home idea can be formed of the
enormous business being done by
the C. F. (fe I. Co. when the freight
receipts of the IX & it. («. railroad
from this point are considered. G.
W. Kelley, the agent at tin* Besse
mer junction says that the receipts
for tlie present month will amount
to not less than $120,000.00. This is
for such received stock us lime
stone, coke, ore etc. used C.
F. «fe 1. Co. and does not include the
freight on the out-going shipments
at all. Tlie money puid out for
freight to tho D. & It. (I. Co., there
fore is oue-lutlf more than that paid
the employes in the mill. Four
thousand dollurs per day paid out
for freight on stock received at the
steol works is doing business on a
broad guuged plan. Mr. and Mrs.
G. W. Kelley haudle this vast
amount of work uloue and until a
week ago were alto obliged to look
after the duties of a day aud night
operator. The wonder is how they
can attend to it all.
What Might Have Been.
Had the viaduct been built across
the railroad tracks the accident of
Saturday last would never have
occurred whereby a man had a
□arrow escape from death aud a
horse was killed outright. Charles
Brant, a driver on one of George
Jackson’s beer and Mauitou water
wagous was crossing the D. <k R. G.
tracks near the steel works at the
time when his horse was struck by
an oil tank attached to the engine
with the above result. The driver
was thrown violently to the ground
between the engine aud his wagon
and the horse instantly killed. Had
the counoil done its duty in th«
matter gf building the viaduct the
accident would not tave been.
When will the oo unoil do lta daty?

As long: a time as Davlil reigned, so lon*
has tin- L lilciigo, Rock Island .v Purlfio Rail
way rim truliiK west want from Chicago.
The Roek Island Is foremost In adopting
any advantage calculated to Improve speed
and give that luxury, safety and comfort
that popular patronage demands. Its i-«|iilp
inctit la thoroughly complete with vestlbuled
trains, magnificent dlnln g ears, sleepers and
chairs conches, till" the most elegant, and or ,
recently Improved patterns.
Faithful and cuputdc management and
polite, honest service from employes are |
Important Items. They are a double duty— i
to the Company and to travelers—and It is |
sometimes a task dltlteult of accomplish- ,
ment. Passengers on tills lino will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this bine can be bettor
understood If a short lesson In geography be
now recited.
What Is the great Kastern termini of the
Rock Island Route? —Chicago. What other
sub-Baatern termini has It?—Peoria. To
what Important points does It run trains to
the Northwest?—Ht. Paul and Minneapolis,
Minnesota and Watertown and Sioux Falls,
Dakota. To what Important lowa and Ne
braska points—l'ea Moines. Davenport. lowa
Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska. Does It
touch other Missouri River points?—Yes; St.
Joseph, Atchison, Ixsavenworth and Kansas
City. IV>es It run trains to the Foothills of
the Rocky Mountains?—Yes; to Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, solid vesllbul
ed from Chicago. Can lni|M>rtant cities of
Kansu* be reached by the Rock Island
Route?—Yes; its enpltal city. Topeka* and a
full hundred others In all directions In the
Htate, and It Is the only rood running to and
Into the new lnnds opened for settlement In
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation.
It will thus qe seen that a line tapping, as
the Rock Island does,such a varied territory,
has much In that regard to commend It to
travelers, as all connections are sure on the
Hock Island, and passengers can rely on a
speedy journey, as over a bulk of the system
through trains arc run, and It has become,
and rightly too, the popular Line.
A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock
aland A Pacific Railway leaves Denver,
Pueblo and Colorado Springs, dally. It la
called “The World’s Fair Special," la one
day out, and passenger* arrive at Chicago
