THE NEW ERA WALDEN, - - - • COLORADO. A Woman Without Homo Duties. A woman who has no home duties, or who does not attend to such duties, Is a pest to her acquaintances. It may take her a long time to make her breakfast toilet, but her outside gar ments go on like magic when she has once decided to make a morning or afternoon call. She will not work, and she will not lot her neighbors work. Her acquaintances are kept in a state of chronic discomfort in the expecta tion of a visit, and a door-bell in her ▼icinity cannot ring without striking terror to the heart of the lady of the house. A call from this idle person means simply loss of time without the slightest compensation. The work in the kitchen or the nursery must be abandoned, and this means, with prac tical, conscientious housekeepers, not only a giving up of the work for the time, but for a considerable time. The work planned for that day, and omit ted for that day, means overwork at another time, confusion and anxiety. What can be more exasperating' than to be compelled to entertain an idle person to the neglect of necessary duties? It occasionally arouses all the antagonism and latent ugliness in one’s nature. Hands and brain are all ready for the work which has been de ferred for this time. “When will she go?” the spirit keeps asking. “If she will only go now I can rush through with the work, and the morning will not be a lost one.” But the visitor does not go. In fact, it is a rare thing for this particular kind of caller to take her leave until the utmost limit of time is reached, as well as the ut most limit of her hostess’ patience. So, declares the New York Weekly, sensible ladies protect themselves by feeling at liberty to report thnt they are engaged when the Idle woman thrusts her company upon people who do not admire her or her conversa tion. Department Store at Close Range. Because it is volume of businesi that counts, every department store, of course, tries to keep stock as low as possible. Everything must be kept moving. Under the old system a store would buy a whole year’s supply ol staples and a season’s supply of other goods. But it is not so now, and the modern method throws upon the shoulders of manufacturer and whole saler the risks that formerly were as Burned by the retail store, to the grave disorganization of the business ol those who supply the big stores. Most women know that as a rule the things offered in bargain sales are sold below the actual cost of manufacture, says Karley Davis in Everybody’s. Now the bargain sale is popularly supposed to serve a double purpose—to attract people to the store and to get rid oi old goods. The first proposition Is always true, while the latter applies to only about one-tenth of the bargain sales. The manufacturer stands the loss, for there is a very considerable loss, of the other nine-tenths. It is axiomatic among the department store owners that there is always a manu facturer who is willing to sell some oi his output at a great sacrifice. It may be because he finds himself stocked with goods for which there is no de mand at the prices for which they were made to sell; oftener, he is hard pressed for ready money. But what ever the cause, the result is a bar gain sale in a department store. And in all cases, except the one bargain sale in ten, by which the store is get ting rid of its own goods that haven’t been sold, the establishment makes its regular standard profit. It is stated that English scientists are giving Lowell observatory credit for establishing the existence of arti ficial canals on Mars, and English phy sicians and artists are endorsing Prof. Starr’s theory that children should gc naked for ten years or so. Thanks, awfully; but America in general would prefer credit for the Panama canal and its unrivaled lines of children's clothing, both of which are better suited to plain, everyday navigation than the ideas advanced in England America has some brilliant thinkers but its long suit is common sense. A former famous football player ol Princeton proposes to go down to Cen tral America and take a hand in the political game there. He probably thinks that after several campaigns on college football fields a little scrim mage like a Latln-American revolution will be hardly worth mentioning. A St. Louis man had his head shaved and his wife told him that he needn't come home. If a determined woman is not to have her favorite ex ercise of hauling man about by the hair what possible use can she have for the masculine animal? Thirty cents is the amount at whict a Chicago judge valued a woman’s broken heart in a breach-of-proraise suit recently. At this rate it is more profitable to get an arm broken in r streetcar accident BRYAN BUILDS THE PLATFORM Reflects His Views on National Decla rations in 1908. Lincoln, Neb. —Under the new state direct primary law this was the day designated for all political parties rep resented on the primary ballot to hold their state platform conventions. Of the five parties, three —the Repub -1 lican. Democratic and Populist—gath ered In considerable numbers. The Prohibitionists held no convention, and the Socialists were without repre sentation, save for one delegate, who certified to a platform and organiza tion with the secretary of state. The feature of the Democratic con vention was the speech of William J. Bryan. Ho congratulated the party, state and national, on having emerged from the valley of the shadow of death, which, he said, the Republicans, hope lessly divided, were Just entering. Mr. Bryan assisted In drafting the platform, and Its declarations are as- Btimed to reflect his views of what the national party declarations should be In 1908. The platform opens with commen dation of William J. Bryan. It further approves of the laws pro hibiting the pass and rebate and in sists on further legislation making it unlawful for any corporation to con tribute to campaign funds. It opposes the centralization idea and declares for the election of Unit ed States senators by direct vote. Immediate revision of the tariff is urged and an income tax favored. On the question of trusts, the plat form says, in part: “A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of the crim inal law against trusts and trust mag nates and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in the Unit ed States.” Declarations are made for state and national boards of trade and an eight hour day, against government by in junction and for protection of foreign ers. Cross the Bar Together. New York.—Unable to overcome their grief for the death of their pine teen-year-old son a year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Helm, a middle-aged couple who were deeply devoted to each other, ended their lives together Sunday night in their home at No. 1069 Boston Road, the Bronx. Carefully packing their household goods and labeling them for disposition and writing letters to explain their ac tion, they removed the tip from a gas jet in their bedroom and lay down sido by side on two coats that had been drawn closely togethetr. Thus they were found dead, their hands clasping in a last embrace. One of the letters was addressed “To Whom It May Concern,” and read: “Nobody is to be blamed for our act. We died voluntarily. It is our desire to cross the bar together. Since the death of our much-beloved and high!*/ talented son, with whom all our hopes were buried, life has indeed not been worth the living for us. The sun had set and overhead was nothing but :i cold gray sky. We have become use less and superfluous, wherefore after due consideration we have deemed it advisable to disappear together from the surface of the earth.” The letter was signed Mrs. Maurico Helm, nee Annie Lowe, fifty years old, and Maurice Helm, fifty-two years old, and it was_ blotted as if by tears. Ate Postmaster’s Profit. Douglas, Wyo.—The little postolfice at Hampshire is to be discontinued for the reason that the postmaster could no longer afford to feed the people that came for their mail. The Hampshire postoffice is located at the ranch of the Laramie Mountain Sheep Company and was established for the convenience* of neighboring ranch owners and their employes. In a short time the business of the postoffice has grown to considerable proportions as to iucoming mail, but the sale of stamps, from which the postmaster derived his income, only amounted to about $2 a week. As is customary, neighbors calling for th«ir mail remained to one or more meals, I aggregating, according to the manager of the ranch, who is also postmaster, 1 about SSOO per year in victuals con sumed. I At a meeting of the stockholders of i the sheep company, one of whom is Mrs. Kate Turner, a wealthy Cheyenne widow, it was decided that it was cheaper to send to Douglas for ‘lie ■ mall. ' “Devil Drivers” Kill Boy? Chicago.—Excitement in Zion City City over the torturing to death of aged Mrs. Lelilia Greenhaulgh by a band of 1 religious fanatics was intensified yes , Jerday by the rumor that a nine-year- I old boy, suffering from typhoid fever. I had been killed by the same methods. It is said that the “devil drivers” ! prayed, shouted and sang while the dy ing boy pleaded for medicinal help and i i drink of water. After Ills death it is said the discovery was made that his tongue had been slit its entire length as if by a sharp knife, and the investi gators desire to know if this was done to prevent him talking. I The entire city is covered with post ers warning all inhabitants about talk ing to strangers or discussing in any way any of the recent sensational oc ’ currences. Everything Went “Mexican.” ! Trinidad, Colo. —One Mexican is dead, another is dying and three are in a serious condition as the result of a cutting and shooting affray in a saloon at Segundo, fifteen miles west of here. The dead man is Andrea Sal- I azar. .Tuan C. Tafoya is suffering from bullet and knife wounds, while . Fidel Arguello, Chano Bruno and Ju lian Munez are in jail awaiting the re sult of the coroner’s investigation. A “Mexican” was given in what is known as Old Segundo, and the trag edy is the result of rivalry for the af fections of a girl. Salazar’s body Is literally cut Into ribbons. Little is known of him here, he having come to this section recently from old Mexico, i Tafoya is a son of Santiago Tafoya, now serving a life sentence at Canon p City for murder. UNCLE SAM MUST FIGHT JAPAN SAID TO BE PREPARING FOR A TILT WITH THE UNITED STATES. SEC. TAFT’S TRIP EYED PAPER SAYS UNITED' STATES IS REACHING OUT FOR MASTERY OF THE PACIFIC. St. Petersburg. Secretary Taft s tour of the world is being followed with unusual Interest here. The gov ernment Is taking measures to sur round the journey through Siberia aud European Russia with attentions usu ally observed for the rulers of states, and the press is busily speaking on the likelihood and advantage of a Russo- American convention, the object of Mr. Taft’s visit to Russia being, It is alleged, to negotiate an agreement be tween the United States and Russia. The conviction prevails here that war between Japan and the United States is inevitable In the distant fu ture. The Novoe Vremya published an article entitled "The New World Pow er,” picturing the marvelous growth of America as a sea power during Presi dent Roosevelt’s administration, warn ing Russian diplomacy “not to bo caught unawares by coming events,” and adding: "The day when the United States fleet passes out of the Straits of Ma gellan and sweeps proudly into the wa ters of the Pacific will open a new era for the eastern world. Official cour tesies and the temporary lull in war taiK do not conceal the fact that Amer ica is reaching out for the mastery of the Pacific and already is strong enough to attain it. “She entered the race for it in tho spring of 1903, when Congress voted the navy bill and the Panama bill, both essential to the object in view. With out any noise except the ceaseless rum ble of machinery, the mighty nation succeeded In forging a sea power al ready including thirty-five battleships and having its docks crowded with many more war vessels. The American people are not lured by the glamour of mere display. The purposes are deeper. Kindred of England, the American’s creed is that commerce follows the flag. Her object is incompatible with mere desire for trade in the Far East. England won the throne of the Atlantic from Spain, Holland and France. America Js about to challenge her ri val for the throne of the Pacific.” Refused to Be Shot Full of Holes. Denver.—The genuine pinching kid has been discovered. He goes by the name of Charles V. Hull. He is “Billy the Pincher” most of the time and a printer on the side, according to the allegations contained in an application for divorce filed in the County Court by Nellie Hull of 401 Lipan street. Mrs. Hull says that since their mar riage in Berthoud, Colorado. November 13, 1904, up to the time of his desertion several months ago, Hull has pinched her nose, pinched her ears, pinched her shoulders, pinched her arms and pinched her toes. Her attorney, Isaac Dunn, filed as an exhibit in the suit this itinerary: Jan. 28, 1905—He took mo by the shoulders and shook me until my teeth chattered; also threw me to the floor and kicked me. March 1, 1906—He landed an upper cut on my chin that made me see stars and several moons. Same day, later—Invited mo to get a revolver, so that he could kill me; re fused invitation. March 20, 1906—Sent home a right swing and I went down for the count. Jan. 1, 1907—Ditto the foregoing. I alighted on my head and it was several hours before I fully realized what had happened. July 15, 1907—Pinched me wickedly. Sept. 8, 1907—More pinching; also waved a revolver and said: “Get to the yard and let me see how many holes I can put into you.” Tills Invita tion was also turned down. There are other dates, but they are not given, to avoid repetition. Peculiar Situation in Wills.

Denver.—The present depression in the copper market is caused by the concerted action of European consum ers. according to the opinion of E. A. Norton of Denver, and the metal will shortly find its price level, which he places at from 20 to 22 cents. Mr. Nor ton is interested with English and New York and Virginia capitalists in the ownership of the Penn-Wyoming Copper Company, operating large prop erties at Encampment, near the Wyo ming-Colorado line in the North park country. “The average price of copper for twenty-five years was 14% cents.” said Mr. Norton, "but it will not be that low again for any length of time. Th*.* demand is so great that the present quotation of 16 to 17 cents can not long prevail. 1 have recently visited the largest consumers in Europe, and I am satisfied from the Information gained there t hat copper will shortly settle down to from 20 to 22 cents and re main at that standard price.” Mr. Norton is entertaining the own ers of the copper properties in which he is interested. The same capitalists own 91,000 acres of lund In Carbon county. Wyoming, and are now en gaged in placing it under irrigation. Asmus Jury Disagrees. Fort Morgan, Colo. —The jury in the case of John Asmus and Zara Moon, charged with the murder of Robert Mc- Dowell reported to Judge Burke that the members could not reach an agree ment and the jury was discharged The jury stood eight to lour for ac quittal from the first and the count lid not change throughout the entire delib erations. although ballot after ballot was taken. The jurors in favor of ac quittal were firm in their conviction, and no amount of balloting or deliber ation would change them, and the four on the other side were in the same frame of mind as to changing their votes. The cost of the trial of the two men lias been enormous for Morgan county, and in view of the fact that, the sents - metit of the jury was in the ma jority for an acquittal many ox press the opinion that, there will not be another trial of the case, as the pen. pie do not relish being saddled with the expense of a second trial. Moon and Asmus were released on $9,000 bail A new bond was required, which was promptly furnished The jurors in the case were discharged for tho re mainder of the term, as Judge Burke said that men who had sat on a ease Tor fifteen days and nights had earned exemption for a year.

MEANS MUCH TO COLORADO NORTHERN COLORADO POWER PLANT INSTALLED AT LAFAY ETTE READY FOR BUSINESS. TWO ELECTRIC LINES NEW FEATURE INJECTED WHICH WILL GIVE ADDED BENEFIT TO PATRONS. Denver.—There has been installed at the Northern Colorado Power plant, near Lafayette, an electric turbine costing $65,000. Another turbine of the same cost and size will be installed in two weeks. These two great engines will furnish 6,500-horse power for the running of an electric line from Den ver through Northern Colorado us far as Greeley. At the same time President Barker of the power company, who is also vice president of the Denver Gas & Electric Company, announced that, having se cured a franchise for a street car line in Cheyenne, he would be able to con struct the line with Denver and Colo rado capital. Thus two great enterprises are as sured that require an investment of several millions of dollars without ask ing anything but legitimate private in vestment, with only returns promised coming to investors through the oper ation of the companies. The grade for the electric road is now practically complete, paralleling the Colorado & Southern tracks from Denver as far as Louisville. Eighty five pound rails necessary for the track are now on their way to Denver, and wire is being strung to carry the cur rent. The system will be an overhead 'trolley, but a feature never before used will bo a plan of alternating currents, which will conserve the power and give greater facilities for the movement of business. -t is announced officially that trains will be running over the road by spring. The entire scheme has been financed and tho bonds floated. The road will carry both passengers and light express freight. The whole plan has been carried through and tho money subscribed without appealing to the moneyed interests of the state ex cepting in a legitimate way, offering the investment privately for what it may be worth as an investment. SAYS AFFIDAVIT IS FABRICATION Denies Prosecution Is in Any Way Po litical Persecution. Phoenix, Ariz. —Justus Goebel, a brother of the late Governor Goebel of Kentucky, residing In Phoenix, com menting on the affidavit made by a woman in Richmond, Indiana, who al leges that Governor Goebel was killed by Turner Igo, at the instigation oL the son of John Sanford, says the story is pure fabrication. He says the facts as set forth in the affidavit are so at variance with the proved facts that they cannot be considered. He denies that the prosecution of any person is a political persecution. He says that the only persons inter ested in the prosecution are himself and his brother, Arthur, of Cincinnati, and such friends as may aid them in avenging the death of the governor. They have no desire to convict an in nocent man and thus shield the real murderer, and for this reason they have followed every reported clew, each of which, if not. utterly discred ited, was finally traced back to Taylor and Powers. Continuing, he said: "The prosecution, which lias been conducted without abatement of en thusiasm for eight years, will be con ducted as long as there is a Goebel, young or old. alive, and until the guilty parties have been brought to justice. We will get Governor Taylor sooner or later, as he cannot always find an asy lum in Indiana." Perfectly Good Husband Spoiled. Chicago.—Mrs. Franklin V. Elder, who until yesterday was Miss Blanche Buckley of Louisville, loaned her hus band to his bachelor friends for a fare well supper last night. When sho loaned him he was a perfectly good husband, with a beautiful mustache, a handsome head of hair and a wedding smile. She smilingly warned them to let Frank come homo early, because they start today for their new home at Seattle. When her husband was re turned to her Mrs. Elder had a bad shock. His friends had during the course of their farewell dinner clipped his hair close, cut off his beautiful mustache, painted his head red and blackened his face with charcoal. Friends escorted Mr. Elder forcibly about town for exhi bition purposes. Then they returned him to his bride, who, with the aid of a scrubbing brush, started in to make him presentable, while her husband vowed murder against his "friends.'’ Rewarded for Heroism. Chicago.—A Tribune special from Kendall, Wisconsin, says: John Frank lin. a Northwestern engineer running between here and Sparta, has received a check for SIO,OOO with a promise of another, for saving the life of a woman at Devil’s Lake a few weeks ago. Franklin, with his wife, was spend ing a few days at the lake. At tho same time William Peterson, a wealthy Chicago man, with his wife, daughter and Miss Jenkins, a sister in-law, also was encamped at the lake. One morning while out in a boat tho girl and Miss Jenkins rowed over to a spring to get a drink. As Miss Jen kins attempted to get back into the boat she slipped, falling into tho water. The impact drove the craft from shore, and, although she man aged to get hold of the boat, she could not draw herself from the water. Franklin rescued hor just as her strength was about failing her. Miss Jenkins was one of tho few who escaped from the Iroquois theater holocaust in Chicago, and says she fears she is to die a violent death.
