Thank*, Pueblo fire department
for valuable service rendered' at the
steel works blaze. Your work was
nobly done.
The Drake bill takes from you the
right of suffrage. It drags you into
Pueblo sgainst your will. Sign the
remonstrance.
Work against the Drake bill.
Make it a point of duty to sign tbo
remonstrance being circulated and
thereby add your influence to the
loud protest being made.
Manager Kebler of the C. F. & I.
Co. is opposed to consolidation and
speaks his mind in no uncertain man
ner. lie thinks taxation the great
barrier between Bessemer and an
nexation.
The “hum of industry” in this city
is growing louder and louder and the
happy echo of its mighty roar will be
thrown back from the everlasting
hills before—well, before Bessemer
■names Pueblo.
The Indicator is under obliga
tions to Representative A. W. Len
uard and Sonator J. Drake for copies
of House and Senate bills. Es
pecial thanks are tendered to Mr.
Drake for his candor in sending his
now satnous consolidation bill.
The citizens in the vicinity of
Summit avenue and Spruce street are
favored by the city council. A
small park will be located there and
citizens are apt to look upon the
action of the council as class legisla
tion. The park is to be the public
pound.
The total tax in Bessemer is forty
one and a quarter mills; in south
Pueblo it is forty-seven and aqunr
ter mills, ami in nortii Pueblo fifty
and one-half mills. Would any
benefit you might receive from a
union with Pueblo offset the differ
ence in taxation? Think this over
seriously.
Mighty sudden work that was
when the Bessemer city council read
and adopted the commissioners re
port, discharged the commissioners,
enacted the report into an ordinance,
read the ordinance for the first and
second time, declared it passed by a
unanimous vote and railroaded the
whole thing through in less than
twenty minutes. There were no Hies
in the immediate vinity of the .council
that time.
There are man)’ new and influen
tial proselytes to the cause of non
consolidation with Pueblo at this
time. They are convinced that Bes
semer would be swallowed up in the
greed of the stronger neighboring
city, and believing that the possibili
ties of Bessemer becoming a great
city arc about to bs realized, they
have taken a loyal stand aud will ad
vocate a local application of the na
tional Monroe doctrine and avoid all
‘entangling foreign alliances.”
It is believed by many that a
committee from north Pueblo is now
in Denver working against the Drake
bill. In this they arc allies of Bes
semer but tbs spirit in which the aid
is being given is not a friendly one.
North Pueblo does not want con
solidation and would keep Bessemer
out even though the latter begged
for admission. The Indicator has
always held to this assertion and its
truth is being demonstrated more
and more as circumstances arise
which compel the manipulators of
politics north of the river U> show
their band.
In this issue of the Indicator is
published a full text of the Drake
bill which ie causing such a stir
among the people of this city. The
statement so boldly set forth that
Bessemer has a population of 10,000
and that the people have for several
years been making efforts to unite
with Pueblo are utterly false. Mo
doubt the crowd which is baokiog
Mr. Drake intended the 10,000 pofte*
latiori falsehood as a bit of flattest
calculated to soothe the irritated
tempera of the people, but the
has beta misapplied. Mr. W

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1893.
Wick’s bill recently Introduced in
to the lower house and relating to
the annexation of contiguous towns
or cities, is a just measure inasmuch
as it forestalls any board of trustees
or city council from taking a action in
the premises unless asked to do so by
petition sigued by not fewer than 200
tax-paving electors. In our own
muddle it is safe to say that not a
dozen men iu the city even knew
that the council was to take action
on the question, but that body fol
lowing out its own desire had a
board of commissioners appointed
without consulting the wish of the
people much less wailing to be asked
to take steps in the direction of con
solidation. The one-man power in
politics is fading fast away in the
independent Centennial state.
Home rule for Ireland, thanks to
Premier Gladstone, at last seems to
be one of the probabilities of Eng
lish mis-government. But with the
promise of an Irish parliament comes
a howl from that turbulent North-of-
Irelund element known as Orange
men who declare that with the dawn
ing of home rule they will inaugurate
a bloody rebellion and resist the
new branch of government to the
last. These Orangemen are filled
with moro prejudice and are pos
sessed with a greater amount of
bigotry than any class of people on
God’s earth, and hold about the same
relation to Ireland that the detested
Tories did to this country in the War
of Independence. This hybrid ele
ment is a mixture of English, Scotch
and a little Irish—very little—and
always made an insaue boast of their
loyalty to England.
STEEL WORKS SPARKS.
A Big Fire.
There was an usually large quantity
of sparks at the steel works Wednesday
afternoon. A fire broke eut in the
wood yard in the eustorn portion of the
premises aud before it could be gotten
under control had caused a damuge of
about SSOO. more than fifty cur loads of
cord wood being badly singed, some
totally burnod.
With the first alarm of the steel works
whistle Hose Co. No. 1 responded and
the fire spreading rapidly No. 2 wus
called. However the pressure was so
wretched that the water could not be
squirted over a wood pile and connection
had to be made with the pump In the
converter. AH this took time, and the
tiro backing rapidly toward the ice
house and the oil shed things looked
alnrming and Chief Sanborn of the
Pueblo tiro department was telephoned
for assistance. He promptly responded
by sending the steamer and the Carlile
Hose Co. whico came up flying and in a
remarkably short time got to work and
the flames were soon under control,
though not until enough water had
been poured an to float some of the
wood away.
The Pueblo fire department is im
mense, and flames, smoke and water
have no terrors for the fire boys whose
coolness and activity won the admiration
of the thousand people from Bessemer
and Pueblo who were onlookrs. The
Indicator speaks the mind of the steel
works and ths city of Bessemer when it
says to the Pueblo fire dejiartment,
1 hanks, gentlemen, your work was nobly
done and you will be kindly remem
bered.
The Bessemer hose companies were
everywhere and did excellent service
when the converter pump begun to get
iu its work. Besides, the boys pitched
in and relieved the Pueblo nezzlemen,
scrambling over the huge piles ef wood
and subduing the fire as they proceeded.
The boys were justly exasperated over
the wretched service from the hydrants
they not being able in the beginning to
get water enough to drown a rat in a
tub.
It was a big fire, the wood burning
like shavings hnd the flames sheoting
fifty feet high. The great danger of a
big conflagration has determined the
steel works company to provide for a
good fire department at the works which
is a wise resolve
Of Course.
As was expected the Pueblo city
council checked all progress in the
matter of consolidation Monday
evening. The session was short and
sharp and the report of the commis
sioners was shelved, there to become
dust covered and moth eaten. The
three commissioners from Bessemer
with Geo. West from Bouth Pueblo
had prepared aoreport which was
submitted to the eouncil hut object
ed to by Alderman Barndollar on
the ground that Puebla wanted a
report from the Pueblo commission
ers and not from Bessemer men.
This was the fine point, Commis
sioners Downer and Kilbourn net
showing up at all. Mayor Ham
ilton upheld Barndollar's motion
gad ruled the report out of order.
And yet there are still seven or
eight men In Bessemer who think
that North Pueblo covets a union!

THE CITY COUNCIL.
How three members showed
their prejudic against the
peoples party—The plans of
the viaduct will not be
changed—The pound to be
moved into the city—The
Swartz liquor case and the
consolidation question—An
ordinance jerked through
with indecent haste.
The peoples party made another
and this time a successful attempt
to get the use of the city hall one
night in each week for political
purposes. When the petition signed
by a committee composed of J. E.
Murphy, C. M. Pollard and E. I*.
Cush was read, J. E. Jones promptly
moved to table the request. J. B.
Jones moved that it be granted unci
a vote being tuken on J. B’s. motion
it stood thusly: For granting the
hall, Jones, J. 8., Kirk, Keltner,
Brennan and West. Against grant
ing the hall, Jones, J. E., Panne
baker and Hart. A number of
prominent third party men were
present and made a mental vote of
the action.
The public works committee re
ported that it had decided to make
no change in the plans of the
viaduct as formerly agreed upon,
which virtually excludes the pos
sibility of the steel works from
furnishing the iron, aud the report
was adopted.
Engineer Bland again dunned the
council for S2OO. due him under
promise of Mayor Bliocky and Al
dermen Punnebaker and Hart, but
Pannebaker and Hart, but Panne
baker said that Bland had not car
ried out his agreement and there
fore claim was not ordered paid.
The committee on streets and
bridges recommended the placing of
bridges on Pine and Rice streets,
and that the bridge on Northern
avenue be made the full width of
the avenue, file clerk was instruct
ed to so notify the Bessemer bridge
Co.
Alderman Keltner recoinineded
that the pound to be removed to the
corner of Summit avenue and
Bpruce street. A vote was taken
which resulted in a tie and decided
by the mayor voting iu accordance
with the recommendation.
Druggist W. P. Swartz asked for
the remittance of a fine of $58.75 im
posed upon him by the police mag
istrate as he had sold liquor only
for medicinal purposes. The matter
was referred to Attorney Low and
the police committee for investiga
tion.
The report of the commissioners
on consolidation was read, adopted,
and the commissioners discharged.
The rules of the council were sus
pended and an ordinance embody
ing the sense of the report reud twice
in quick succession und carried by a
unanimous vote of the council; so
every alderman is in favor of con
solidation. The council made re
markably quick time, receiving a
report, enacting it into an ordinance
which had been previously prepared
In anticipation of whut was coming,
reading the ordinance the first time,
placing it on its final passage aud
declaring it passed all in less time
than it takes to allow the salaries of
the city officials which is certainly
rushing things.
The Obnoxious Drake Bill.
Following is a aoemplete copy of the
obnoxious bill relating to the consolida
tion of Bessemer and Pueblo and against
which a remonstrance is being sa ex
tensively circulated this week. Several
of the statements as set forth are so
false and the purpose of the bill so out
rageous that almost everybody who has
an opportunity to do so signs the re
monstrance without hesitation. The
bill must not be allowed to pass the
legislature.

“Whereas.”
“Whereas, The city of Pueblo con
sisting of some 35,000 inhabitants,
aud the city of Bessemer consisting
of some 10,000 inhabitants, lie con
tiguous to one another; and
Whereas, A majority of the said
cities of Pueblo and Bessemer have
for several years past desired and
do now desire that said cities shall
be united and consolidated under
one municipal government; and”—
etc.
These “whereas” astonishers are
extracts ironi the bill recently intro
duced in the senate by Mr. Drake.
The gentleman is a humorist. Dur
ing the campaign he perpetrated a
huge joke on an unsuspecting peo
ple by blooming into a punster, also.
He had the body of a drake sur
mounted by his noble head stamped
on his cards which caused a laugh
to ripple down the Arkansas river,
but his friends said he would stop at
that; but he didu’t. fie has become
a humorist and would be funny, in
deed, if ho would not torture tlie
truth quite so much. There is only
one faint speck of truth in his
“whereas” articles nnd that is where
he makes the geographical assertion
that the cities of Pueblo and Besse
mer are contiguous. The residents
of the said cities will bear testimony
to this fact; and, “whereas” Mr.
Drake has not disrobed bis consoli
dation idol of the Inst vestnge of
truth those who dub him the modern
Annanias do him an injustice. He
is only a western politician.

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 in decided
contrast to the cold, bleak north.
The great state of Texas is celebru |
ted as one great broad winter resort in !
itself, but the following places are. per ;
haps, particulrriy popular: Fort Worth,
with its mineral baths. Healthful climate
and good hotels; Austin, the beautiful 1
capital city: San Antonio, one of the
few really historical places in our coun
try; Houston, with its blooming roses* !
oleanders aud groves of oranges and '
lemons, and Galveston with its delici- j
ous sea breezes. These are hut a few
of the delightful resorts of this highly ! 1
favored region.
An escape from all the pains and dis- I
comforts of our rigorous weather, trail- |
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 it Ft Worth |
