Benjamin Harrison, David B Hill,
J. B. Coxey and John P. St. John would
all like to be presidential nominees
in 1696.
Judur Helm, prominent candidate
for governor of Colorado on the re
publican ticket has another rival in the
person ef Judge Campbell of Colorado
Springs..
Pueblo air is always thick with
politics. At the school election in
district No. 20. 2,084 votes were cast
which show* that a great deal of talk
ing had been done.
Thkrk was a strong prejudice in this
state against women voting. It has
been obliterated. There is a prejudice
new agalnet women holding office. It
should be wiped out.
Mrs. Lease is in earnest sbout suc
ceeding Jerry Simpson in Congress. If
Jerry isgallent he will step aside and
let her in, always providing that the
party of statssmen will be in power.
When the railroads are built into the
big gold camp at Cripple Creek it is
said that the mines will all reopen and
that those who will not work at $3 for
nine hours will no*, be allowed to in
terfere.
The Denver Times identifies tbe
Coxey reserve with the populists and
says: ‘-The Coxey reserve is apparent
ly another name for Populistic workers.
The reserve should be ashamed to do
business under false pretenses."
If the steel workers were as well
paid as the miners of Cripple Creek
there would be no complaint. They
are poorer paid, the risk to life and
limb is as great and yet there Is no
strike. They are a reasonable lot of
men and deserve better pay.
Congress would prove itself a bene
fit to the people of the country by em
ploying a force of about 200,000 men
in carrying out the western irrigation
scheme. Western Kansas and eastern
Colorado should have a system of
canals and reservoirs created at the
expense of the government. There
should be legislation in this direction.
At last the World’s Fair buildings
havs been disposed of. They were
said outright to Graff & Co., houst
wreckers, for $87,500. The com
missioners have stipulated that all the
■mailer buildings at the northern end of
the park shall bs cleared away by Sept.
1 next. If tbe park be cleared of rub
bish by May 1, 1896, the commissioners
will be satisfied.—Ex.
How can tbe Pueblo trades asssrably
reconcile its “whereas” resolution on
Senator Wolcott because “he has given
but a faint support to tbe great silver
Interest of tbe west,” with his failure
to become a member of the Metro
polltan club of New York because of
his “stalwart defense” of the great
American product? Evidently the
historian of of the trades assembly is
rusty.
The latest account of the wealsra
who left Pusblo under General Sanders’
is to the effect that they were captured
at Scott City, Kanaas, by 200 deputy
U. 8. marshals snd escorted to Topeka
to answer to th* charge of obatructing
mail. The army had cleared 214 mile*
over a hard road to travel, and now
being in Topeka there is little danger
of their returning to Colorado. The
army numbers 400.
No matter how much eympathy may
be expressed for the unemployed now
constituting the army of industrials,
law breaking is not to be tolerated.
While there are some worthy men In the
Cripple Creek contingent, yet the action
of the leader, General Sanders, In
prompting the men to steal a train at
Puablo baa cast a stigma on th* whole
outfit. Depredations of tbs sort are
not to be tolerated and will, If per
sisted In soon put an end to th* Coxey
movement.
There Is danger of a too sympathetic
public being imposed on by the wealers
There is danger that the great charity
of the people will be misconstrued to
mean moral anpport of the Coxey move
ment, and the araiei will be greatly
increased. It will not de to wink at
the stealing of a railroad train, and It
win sot do to dignify the foolish
eraaade. Th* aeatlment of the country

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.
Great Interest Taken and a Heavy Vote
Polled.
There was great interest taken in tbe
school election of district No. 20 held
last Monday and 2,084 votes polled.
Every available vehicle in tbe city was
brought mto use and an exceedingly
lively time was bad.
This was tbe first time that women
bad been put up as candidates for
director, and it was expected that they
would receive at least tbe full vote of
the women, but in this their supporters
were mistaken, and both candidates
were defeated. Following is tbe re
sult:
Five YearTcnn.
Dr. A. L. Fugard 1048
George K. Bragtlon -998
Dr. Fugard’* majority 50
Two year term to All vacancy.
John Keltcer 1116
Mrs. Nannie T. l’att«r«on »97

One Year Term to Fill Vacancy.
C. K. Allen 1075
T. H. Foley 519
Mrs. Josephine K. Moore. 490
Mr. Allen’* majority 66
In view of tbe fact that Mrs. Patter
son was contesting against great odds
she did remarkably well. Tbe board
now claims to be anti Search and tbe
people will look tor a change.
Kill the Bill.
It is tbe plan of the government to
make the revenue derived from postage
pay tbe expense of tbe mail depart
ment and no more. Because of tbe
financial depression tbe last year tbe
revenue for this branch has fallen be
low expenses, and to make up tbe
deficit an attempt is being made in
congress to increase postage on second
class matter including newspapers,
magazines, periodicals and books
issued in serial form seyen cents per
pound. As all such literature is being
published now at tbe lowest price
possible the addition of seven cents
per pound would compel tbe publishers
to increase their prices and tbe large
class of readers who get all their read
ing matter through mail would either
have to bear the burden or do without
literature. Special legislation has al
ready been enacted in faver of cities
having free delivery at an expense of
$12,000,000 annually to tbe govern
ment, people not having tbe service as
sisting in footing the bill, and tbe
present measure would be further
class legislation. Colorado's senators
and representives are appealed to to
look out for tbe interests of their
constituency.
Want Municipal Reform.
The meeting of the Pueblo Equal
Suffrage league was only fairly well
attended yesterday afternoon. The
ladies have lost no interest in municipal
reform, aad while they realize that
they can do but little, they are de
termined that that little shall be done
well. In a quiet but persistent way
they are going to keep after variety
shows as well as all other kinds of
municipal luxuries and with a course of
systematic work to be adopted have no
uncertain feeling in regard to final
results. It is also quite probable that
Id tbe near future they may feel it
their imperative duty to look into tbe
financial as well as tbe moral affairs of
the city. There was an after meeting
in which matters generally were very
freely discussed.—Star.
Mrs. Jennie Blatter who secured a
divorce from her husband, J. W.
Blatter, was granted alimony to the
amount of $25 per month and her
attorney’s fees paid by defendant. Such
was the ruling of the district court,
but J. W. Blatter expects to prove that
his monthly revenue does not amount
to $25 and hence cannot pay it. Such
will be the plea made before Judge
Elwell of the district court.
A Social.
There will be given by the Degree of
Honor, Crescent Lodge No. 10, Bes
semer, on May 14 at 8 p. m. prompt, a
Grand Fishing Party in tbe woods of
the Dempsey-Langdon ball, where the
world famed Gipsey Queen has con

gramme will also be given. Admission
ten cents. X

Sufficient pig iron has been produced
to enable the rail mill and converter to
■tart up again next Monday. Blast
furnace No. 8 will also be started at
the same time, and the output of
furnaces number 2 and 8 will keep the
other departments running full blast
indefinitely. It is likely that there will
be no further stop for three months to
come.

PUEBLO, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 12,1894.
A Famous Ship Yard Idle.
The once busy plant of the Delaware
River Iron Shipbuilding & Engine Co.,
known tho world oyer us John Roach
& Sous, is now almost as silent as the
grave. Tbe steamer Yorktowu, that
left the wharf yesterday for New Yoik,
completes the last contract the company
has on hand, and tne yard is about
ready to close its huge gates for the
first time in its history, uuless new
orders are soon received.
ONE-WHEELED SULKY.
fha Invention of m Californian Who
Look* for Biff Sacco** With It.
Captain Alphons B. Smith, a pio
neer of San Deigo, CaL, is the in
ventor of a ono-wheelod sulky which
apparently is a success. Some years
ago he conceived tho idea that tho
tiino of a horse on a race course
would be materially reduced if in
stead of the two-wheel sulky a
one-wheel cart could bo used, and
he forthwith set to devise a vehicle
which would suit the purpose. He
feels confident that at last he has
■uceeeded in inventing something
whieh fully realizes his brightest
hopes, and something, too, which is
destined to ooine into very general
use throughout tne world. The axle
of the oart is made in two pieces,
and is so arranged that the wheel
turns very readily in any direction
the horse can poasibly pursue. At
tached to the shafts, near where they
meet the axle, are stirrups designed
to steady the rider in his position on
the cart. Made for ordinary road
use one of these vehicles weighs
eighty-seven pounds, but when de
signed for use on tho race course
the unioyle, as some have called it,
may he constructed so as to weigh
only thirty-two pounds. One was
recently manufactured at San Diego
entirely of aluminum, the weight be
ing a trifle les9 than thirty-two pounds
and the vehicle being strong and
handsome. Arthur M. Plate is Cap
tain Smith’s partner in business. Mr.
Plate said to a San Francisco Examin
er man: “Captain Smith perfected
the several patents last June, and
he and I are preparing to introduce
it to the public. No, it isn’t true
that a balance wheel goes with each
cart. Tbe driver isn’t in a bit of
danger of being tipped over. The
cart can’t be overturned unless the
horse falls, and the motion isn’t
jerky. We will drive the two-wheel
pneumatic from the track. Why?
Woll, because it minimizes friction,
and therefore admits of greater speed.
The experiments thus far made on
raoo courses leave uo room for doubt
that the one-wheel cart is certain of
popularity among turfmen. ” The in
ventor is sanguine that before
another year has rolled away hun
dreds of his unlcyoles will be used
in San Francisco and hundreds more
throughout the Interior of California,
especially in the mountainous dis
tricts.
The Glories of Donnybrook.
Donnyhrook is on the outskirts of
the city of Dublin, but Donnybrook
fair ground is no longer the friendly
fighting ground of former days.
One of the tents made of wattles,
with patchwork quilts or blankets or
eld petticoats spread over them, held
rows of tables made of doors plaoed
on mounds of clay. The benches,
too, rested on the same uncertain
foundation and when the young
Irishmen grew unsteady the bench
sent them all down to the floor. Out
on the green there was fighting and
sports and at night the fiddles played
jigs for the jolly young people. It
appears from the accounts given by
the strangers who visited Donny
brook almost a hundred years ago that
there was good reason for the world
wide meaning given to the mere ex
pression “Donnybrook Fair.” But
Its glories have departed apd it is
many a long day since the oheerful
■hillaly was wielded around Donny
brook oastle.
Valuable Cat.
▲ oat known as “Bill’’ was the
means of saving a whole family at
Burlington, N. J. Early in the morn
ing a fire broke out in the residence
of his master, M. A. Garrison, while
everyone save “Bill” was asleep.
“Bill,” seeing the flames and think
ing something wrong, went to the
door of his master’s room and began
singing. This of oourse awoke Me
Garrison, who, seeing that flames had
enveloped the house, quickly alarmed
his family and they all esoaped in
safety. In consideration of “Blir*”
heroism the neighbor* have chained
up all their bootjacks and hereafter
“Bill” oan "meaow" In perfect peaoe.
A New Oil From Hens' Eggs.
Extraordinary stories are told of
the healing properties of a new oil
which is easily made from the yolk
of hens’ eggs. The eggs are first
boiled hard, and the yolks are then
removed, orushed and placed over a
fire, where they are oarefully stirred
until the substance is on the point of
oatching fire, when the oil separates
and the oil may be poured off. One
yoke will yield nearly two teaapoon
fdls of oiL It le in general use
among the oolonists of South Russia
as a means of curing outs, bruises,
etc.
Wonderful Thinness of Veneer.
Few people have an Idea how thin
a sheet of veneer may be out with
the aid of improved machinery.
There is a firm in Paris whioh makes
a business of nutting veneers, and to
such perfection have they brought It
that from a single tusk thirty inches
long they will out a sheet of ivory
150 luohes long and twenty inehea
wide. Some of the sheets of
wood and mahogany are only about a
fiftieth of an inch in thiokne*w'
A New Industry.
The discovery that the leaf of th*
pineapple plant can be wrought into
n serviceable cloth is one of those
newly found facts that are constant
ly proving how muoh there is yet to
discover in nature. As the plant Is
extensively grown in Florldu a naw
Industry in time will spring up there,
and the producer* of the delleione
pineapple will have a new eouroo of
profit at tholr command.
