Nearly $02,000 is being paid out
at the steel works to-day and there is
every reason to believe that the
monthly pay roll will keep gradual ly
increased.
Fearful snowslidcs are occuring
with alarming frequency throughout
the southern and western portions of
the state aud many human lives arc
being crushed out bencuth the ava
lanches.
Those fiery Kansas legislators are
full of vim and fight but their energy
is misdirected. Why must Kansas
be continually doing something to
perpetuate its record for lawlessness
aud internecine strife?
If tnlkiug about one makes one's
ears burn the auricular appendages
of Senator Drake must feel uncom
fortably warm most of the time.
The attempt of that gentleman to
coerce the people of Beseemer into
consolidating witli the big city in the
hollow will prove to be au unhappy
oue for him.
There is a well founded rumor
to the effect that the street car rail
way system nnd the electric light
plants of Pueblo will about March 1
be bought up by un Eastern syndi
cate and incorporated into one big
company. Such a change inis been
looked forward to for some time und
it now looks as if the transfer will
surely take place.
Those who attended the meeting
of the Pueblo city council Monday
eveniug with the expectation of hear
ing something on the consolidation
question were disappointed. The
reason giveu for non action was that
the attorneys for the respective cities
lmd not had time to prepare the
articles of consolidation; but the true
reason was that nothing further will
be done in the premises while the
same question is pending iu the state
legislature.
Thus far President-elect Cleveland
lias appointed four members of his
cabinet, namely, W. Q. Gresham,
secretary of state; J. G. Carlisle,
secretary of the treasury; Dan S.
Lumont, secretary of war; and Wil
liam S. Bissell, post master general.
The appointment of Gresham is rais
ing a furore of excitement among
ultra politicians but Mr. Cleveland is
everywhere backed up by men of
conservative ideas. No better choice
could possibly bavc been made.
It would be u blessing to Besse.
mer if the mayor and aldermen to be
elected in April could be selected
from among the successful, practica
ble earnest men of the city. This
is only possible by the throwing ol!
of party shackclsand tusking politics
secondary only to the interests of the
city. This may sound like a Utopian
idea but it is the true solution of the
mis-government of municipul affairs
and once which will meet with the
approbation of the most loyal citi
zens.
It does not require an unusually
shrewd observer to see that there is
a little coterie of north side Pueblo
lawyers and real estate men who
have the consolidation phantom by
the nose us woll as Commissioner's
Downen and Kilbourn and whose
behest in the mutter will he explicitly
obeyed. The Indicator repeats the
prediction of a week ago, that if ever
the consolidation commissioners sub
mit a report to their respective coun
cils a deadly minority report will be
submitted by the two gentleman
named.
Considerable newspaper talk has
been indulged in of late regarding
the triple alliance of the United
States, France and Russia, the pur
pose being mutual assistance iu cose
of walk While such an agreement is
entirely improbable owing to the
revered Monroe doctrine which
shuns all foreign alliances, yet there
may be an understanding to the ef
fect that in case the United States
becomes involved in a war with a
European nation France and Russia
will keep their hands oft The three
nations are friendly and it may be
that some each agreement exists
among them.
BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1893.
If Governor Lewelling of Kansas
is convinced that the populists duly
and legally constitute the house of
representatives he should clear the
state house of all usurpers and main
tain the supremacy of the state even
though lie be obliged to call on the
national government for support.
Bloodshed is a terrible thing but
legal authority must be obeyed even
though human lives be sacrificed in
its enforcement. The governor
should be convinced be is right and
then go ahead.
The great, good of the independent
move in politics made by the third
party men last fall is now very ap
parent. Had it not been for the
victory of the independents in several
of the western states the cause of
silver would be lost and buried out
of sight. The demand of Mr. Cleve
land as the oracle of the Kustern
goldhugs to repeal the Sherman law
has been denied, and although the
prospects to further the interests of
silver are not bright, still it can be
relied upon that no unfavorabl c leg
islation will be had. The democratic
and republican parties should now
gracefully tip their bats to the giant
young independent party.
If by some inis-chance the general
assembly should slip a cog and pass
the Drake bill providing for the con
solidation of Bessemer and Pueblo
the constitutionality of the measure
would be tested in the courts, for it
is the opinion of certain excellent
legal authority that such a bill would
uot stand the exacting requirements
of tiie law. It is a fact that the bill
aims directly at the powers delegat
ed to municipalities by the state gov
ernment and heretofore recognized,
for the questson of consolidation or
annexation has always been left with
the towns and cities interested. The
less meddling there is in local affairs
by the legislature the better. The
radical measure introduced by the
long term senator from this district
has raised a storm of indignation in
Bessemer and reference is often
made to him in no complimentary
language. Coercion is detestable
and raises the ire of the American
citizen as nothing else will.
STEEL WORKS SPARKS.
The enormous sum of between
$1)1,000 and $02,000 will be paid out
to-day. The big pay rolls will from
this time forward come with wel
come regularity.
E. F. Rose has made bis services
in the pipe foundry so appreciated
by tho company that he has beeu
made superintendent of the pattern
making department of both the pipe
foundry and the Iron department.
The change lets CL W. French out
and Supt Rose is doing the work of
two men with an increased salary.
Arthur Wearing, tho man who
was so dangerously hurt at the blast
furnaces last week by a piece of iron
falling from a trustle and striking
him on the bead Is improving at the
hospital and will be back to work in
another week.
About the most fortunate tiling
that happened this week was the
fact tlint nobody was mixed up iu
the converter hoist when it fell with
such a crush.
A big break occurred in blast
furnace No. 8 the fore part of the
week. Owing it is presumed to high
pressure a hole was blown through
the wall about six feet above the
ground letting fifty tons or more of
stock tumble out. Men were at
once set to work and the injury re
paired by Thursday morning. No. 8
is the new furnace and the break oc
curring so soon has caused consid
erable surprise throughout the
works.
Generul Superintendent T. W.
Robinson is laid up with a severe
attack of cold bordering on pneu
monia. Superintendent Thomas
Crow of the converter is another
victim of u bad cold which lias be
came almost an epidemic. Mr. Crow
is able to be out, however.
Ore roaster No. 2 is about complet
ed and will be startod up ns soon ns
the D. A R. G. workmen eau build
the trestles which will take nearly u
month. The new roaster is a solid
one and looks as if it would last for
years.
There was a terrible crash in the
converter Weduesday shortly beforo
noon when the timbers in the
elevator gave way allowing the
elevator to fall carrying everything
before it from top to bottom. About
hvc theusaud pounds of iron was on
the platform at the time and great
was tho fall, the noise being beard
over a large portion of town. For
tunately no one was on the platform
nor beneath it at the time although
many men were near. The car
penters under the-direction of J. T.
O’Brien and the bricklayers under
T. R. Phillips wore at once set to
work and everything was set to
rights by Thursday evening.
The breaks at the blast furnace
and the converter have caused some
delay but it Is gratifying to see how
rapidly such injuries are repaired
and again set In running order.
There is an immense quantity of
get-ap-and-go in the mills just
now.
AMONG THE EXCHANGES.
Deluded I’iiehloans.
The people of Pueblo still cling to the
delusion that the Li Junta railroad
shops will he mevud to that place. They
may ns well direct their efforts to mov
ing Otero county farms Pueblo, which
is not more unreasonable, nnd would lie
of more benefit to them. La Junta
News.
Against Consolidation.
The Pueblo Sunday Opinion comes
out boldly us a champion of Bessemer
against the statu legislature taking any
action on the question of the consolida
tion of Bessemer und I’uoblo. It sues
the injustice of such a radical measure
und insinuates that there is a clique at
the bottom of it all. it says: But why
is tho gang so anxious to bring about u
consolidation of the towns through the
legislature? Why not lot the people say
by their votes whether or not they want
to be consolidated? The majority of the
people of Bessemer nro not in favor of
consolidation. They do not like the
iilou of paying alive per cent, tax rate
on their property. They uro enjoying a
very low rate now and agree that they
have nothing to gain and everything to
lose by consolidating.
Barmi in’s Fight is Bessemer’s right
There is a bullying elemont in Denver
that is trying the sumo coercive meas
ures on the suburbs of that city that
tho Pueblo crowd is using toward Bes
srtnor, and the Bnrnunt Citizen enters
this protest:
If there is one thing noove another
that arouses the ire of the average
American it is to be subjected to regula
tions in which he hus no say in making.
Why, bless you, that was the principle
for which our revolutionary fathers
fought for, and its vindication guvo us
our freedom. In fact, if you convince an
American that you want him to go to
the devil lie is very apt to go the other
way, but try to forcibly detain him and
his anxiety to roach the place of torment
becomes a mania. If tho suburbs had
the right to sny of their own volition
“we will go with you,” their opposition
to annexateon would not be nearly so
strenuous.
A Big Hores Ranch on the St.
Charles.
Colonel Juck Chinn, of Kentucky, has
purchased one of the best ranches in
Colorado and intends to ship all of his
brood mares, stallions und young colts
from Kentucky to this ranch and will
hereafter breed his thoroughbreds here
in Colorado, believing that hotter horses
can be raised hero. He will begin with
100 thoroughbred mares at the start.
The ranch is situated 28 miles from Pu
eblo near the head of the St. Charles
river, and comprises about 4,000acres till
under fence, 1,000 acres of which is
under ditch fenced with a good stone
wall. The river runs through and about
equally divides this one thousand acres
of cultivutable land. Water can bo
piped from the river to every paddock
on the property. Oats, wheut anil the
best of hay can be raised there. Ho also
intends to build a home on this ranch for
old and broken down gamblers, and will
try to raise from the well-to-do sports a
fund of $500,000 with which to endow
it.—Field and Farm.
Three New Houses.
C. M. Pollard, Charles Finley and
H. ('. I’arscal are each building a
brick resideuce on Cedar streo t be
tween Northern and Mesa avenues.
They mean to boom that part of the
city.
Social and Supper.
The ladies of the congregation of
the Baptist church of Bessemer will
give a social and supper in the city
hall the evening of the 22nd und
thus commemorate the anniversary
of the “Father of His Country The
admission to the hall and supper
will he only twenty-five cents.
The Ghost Dance.
Extensive preparations are boing
made to make the ghost dance at
the city hall the night of the 21st
a decided success. Robinson’s #r
chestra will furnish the music and
you are invited out to be a dancing
ghost or spook. You can rent a
white domino for the occasiun for
25 cents by applying at the cloak
room the evening of dance.
Calico Ball.
The calico ball to he given next
Thursday night at the city hall by
Hose Co. No. 1 will in many respects
surpass anything over hold in Besse
mer. The committee on arrange
ment, Mike Shea, Milt Kountz,
Hank Roley, Charley Darnell und
Jonn Maxey have beeh working up
a beautiful souvenir for the occasion
and will be sure to have a represen
tative crowd in attendance. Huy a

Gives his Reason.
To nil whom it may concern:
About throe months nJio at the
quarterly meeting of tho United
Brethren in Christ. I asked that
my nnmo be taken off their class
book. It was not done until last
quarter which was tho 10 and 11 of
February, since which time my
name has beeu read as dropped from
the role, not giving any reasons why.
I did uot ask for a letter, knowing
It would have been signed by W. H.
Sherrod, which would have been no
recommendation to me. That is the
reason I asked my name stricken
from the role to be remembered
among that class no more forever.

Hall of the A. O. U. W.
The delegates to the Grand Lodge
convening at Leadville were shown
the sights .Sunday and Monday by
their brothers here. Especially to the
members from Arizona and New
Mexico the steel works was a feast.
Monday evening was devoted to
sociability. Supper was served by
tin* ladies of the Degree of Honor
from 5 to 7 and nothing was left un
done to provide for the comfort of
the sisters. Considering the crowds
they had to provide for the ladies
can not be praised too highly. The
delegates from tho different lodges
in Colorado, New Mexico and
Badito Lodge of Colorado Springs
came down with their wives aud
sweethearts to entertain and lie en
tertained. After the tables were
cleared the entertaining was left to
Minnequu Lodge 45 of Bessemer.
.Master Workman J. V. Leithead in
tiie chair, the programme was opened
by Hon. A. Royal with an address

A Winter in the South.
A winter in the South— the very
words conjure up delicious memories
for those who have been there. The
bright sunny skies, the dry. bracing air
and the warm sunshine is iu decided
contrast to the cold, bleak north.
The great state of Texas is celebra
ted as one great broad winter resort in
itself, but the following places are, per 1
haps, purticulrrly popular: Fort Worth,
with its mineral baths, healthful climate :
and good hotels; Austin, the beautiful
capital city: Sun Antonio, one of the
few really historical places m our conn
try; Houston, with its blooming roses"
oleanders and groves of orauges and
lemons, nnd Galveston with its delici
ous sea breezes. These are but a few
of the deligbtf il resorts of this highly
favored region.
An escape from all the pains and dis
comforts of our rigorous weather, tran
sported by magic from the region of
snow and ice to the fragrance of this
summer-land, is now made possible and
easy by the Denver. Texas & Ft. Worth
branch of the Union Pacific system,
which runs through Pullman Palace
sleepers between Denver. Fort Worth.
Dollas. Shreveport aud New Orleans,
and offers exceedingly low excursion
rates to all Southern cities from Denver,
Pueblo, Colorado Springs aud Trinidad.
