MUST HOLD CUBA' NOT YET READY FOR SELF-GOV-ERNMENT. -SO MANY OFFICERS THINK Uncle Sam's Soldiers Must Stay Until Peace Is Fully Assured Political Feeling Between Factions Is Still Dangerously Bitter. Washington. It is said here that the United States is in Cuba to stay for some years to come, and, perhaps, for all time. How long the soldiers stay, and how long the affairs of the Cuban government are administered by Americans, depends wholjy on the Cubans. Mr. Taft at .1 Mr. Bacon are declared to have come away from Ha vana thoruughly convinced that the people of the island, in their present state of political development, were incapable of governing themselves. Before leaving Havana, Mr. Taft told the Cuban political leaders that our troops would not be withdrawn, and we would not leave tho island to Itself again until confidence had been re stored and the affairs of government put on a stable, sound and permanent basis. Since it has been determined to re tain control of the Island, every con sideration demands that the work of putting business on a normal basis should be undertaken at once. Dis patches that have come from Havana since Governor Magoon assumed con trol have not been reassuring in tone. General Bell's plan to give the troops "practice marches" through the island, It is acknowledged, is noth ing more than a plan to Impress upon the Cubans the fact that the United States is in armed control of their country and will not permit another outbreak. .. Another reason for these marches is to preserve the discipline of the troops. The peace that exists in Cuba to-day is only on the surface, and every one who has recently visited the island re alizes that if our soldiers were with drawn now a condition of anarchy would follow. The feeling between the defeated Moderates and the Liberals is bitter to a degree. Recent cable dis patches report harsh dissensions In the Liberal party. The Cuban political leaders that the Taft commission came In coatact with proved themselves nothing more than grafters; shrewd and keen hunters after political office and perquisites that accompany politi cal position in Latin-American coun tries. The ignorant low-class Cuban is a lovable fellow. Obedient, pleasure-loving, polite, and hard working when he must be, he is as clay In the hands of the unscrupulous politicians who have gained an ascendency in the island. It Is these men who have made Cuban independence impossible. When President Roosevelt returns to Washington he and Secretary Taft will go carefully over the entire situa tion and determine when the election shall be held and what method shall be taken to Insure a continuation of peace and normal conditions in Cuba. That this will mean the retention ol troops and a certain number of civil officers is now definitely known. New Evidence Found. Denver.

Mr. Pelton has found a man who says he will swear that he saw Mrs. Van Wyk drive Into her own yard be fore sunset, December 27th. Street Car Riot In Canada. Hamilton, Ont. Never In Hamil ton's history were such scenes of dis nrrtor and lnwlpssnpKa seen as were enacted in the principal streets of the city Saturday night, scores or rioters, sympathizers with the striking street car men, felt the weight of policemen's night sticks and the keen edge of the soldiers' swords in conflicts on James nnri Kiner streets. At a late hour street cars were running at intervals under heavy guards, but they did not carry passengers, and continued to be the tareets for fusillades of stones and bricks from side streets and alleyways. Drastic as were the measures taken by the authorities, it was plain that the mob spirit had not been broken. Yale Defeats Harvard. New Haven, Conn Yale's bright blue banners wave triumphantly over the city, the signal of another victory over Harvard Saturday, the final score being 6 to 0. The crimson went down to defeat in a desperate battle, which in football strategy and spectacular plays has had few equals since the two universities have met. To Yale passed the almost undisputed title of the col lege championship of the country, clouded only by the drawn, no-score contest at Princeton a week ago. If Harvard had won she would have been practically certain of the championship. WEB IMS THEIR PREVENTION AND CURE. November is the month of falling temperatures. Over all the temperate regions the hot . weather has passed and the first rigors of winter have ap peared. As the great bulk of civilized nations is located in the Temperate Zones, the effect of changing sea sons is a ques tion of the high est importance. When theweath- The Human System Must Adjust itself to Changing Tem peratures. change from warm to cold, when cool nights succeed hot nights, when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry days, the human body must adjust itself to this changed condition or perish. The perspiration incident to warm weather has been checked. This de tains within the system poisonous materials which have heretofore found escape through the perspiration. Most of the poisonous materials re tained in the system by the checked perspiration find their way out of the body, if at all, through the kidneys. This throws upon the kidneys extra labor. They become charged and over loaded with the poisonous excretory materials. This has a tendency to in flame the kidneys, producing function al diseases of the kidneys and some times Brlght's Disease.

Manv of these Pe-ru-na is a World Renowned Rem edy For Climatic Diseases. remedies have been used by doctors and by the people in Europe and America for a hundred years. Peruna has been used by Dr. Hart man in his private practice for many years with notable results. Its efficacy has been proven by decades of use by thousands of people, and has been substantiated over and over by many thousands of homes. Reception Was Costly. Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washing ton, some time ago changed from the Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic church and by way of celebrataing the event decided to give a reception In honor of the bishop of her diocese. She decided, however, that her already famous drawing-room was not suffi ciently resplendent to serve as a place of reception for the bishop who was to come and congratulate her. There was yet time in which to make the room more attractive and Mme. Hea ton, with true artistic taste, had everything taken out of the room ex cept the old furniture and a few art objects. The walls before had been covered with tapestry, but that was not enough for a reception for the bishop. After much thought she finally decided on drab silk wall cov ering. What with this and other ex tensive changes in the room without the purchase of furniture Mrs. Hea ton got rid of $9,000. Youthful Boston Congressmen. All three of the congressmen just elected from Boston Joseph F. O'Oonnell, John A. Keliher and An drew J. Peters are young men and bachelors. It is the first time in the history of the city that husband and father has not been included in Bos ton's delegation to Washington and, incidentally, it becomes the youngest delegation that was ever sent from any city in the country. tSU MUSCULAR AILMENTS The Old-Monk-Cure will straighten out a contracted muscle In a jiffy.

THE BARTELDES SEED COMPANY, DENVER, COLORADO. The Barteldes Seed Company, for merly Barteldes & Co., roved into its large, substantial and admirably con structed new five-story building on Sixteenth street, near the Union depot, in Denver, about the 1st of November. This action was taken none too soon, as the rapidly increasing volume of business, which during the past year approximated one-third of a million .V ' to J V V!---mI1 K'- li'jHM!?!!' v L.r i fit s-rJ j at dollars, imperatively demanded more room and better business facilities. The new building is a landmark, not only in the progress of the company, but in the growth of Denver and the expansion of its wholesale trade. The company's business, which is increas ing all the time, covers all the states and territories west of the eastern line of Colorado and Wyoming, and Old Mexico and British Columbia as well, employing five active commercial trav elers. The business has quadrupled in the last six years. C. R. Root, the manager, under whom this increase has been accomplished, has been with the house for sixteen years, and has every detail of the busi ness thoroughly In hand. What ii more, he has the confidence of his customers and the respect of his em ployes. But Herman Warnecke is the Nestor of the company, having been with it for twenty-six years as asso ciate manager and cashier. Although past the allotted three-score years and ten, lie has lost no jot of his efficiency and ha a strong hold on the old patrons of the house. Tho new building, which is devoted to wholesale seeds only, has about one third of an acre of floor space in its five stories. It is thoroughly up to date In its elevators and chutes for handling goods, which are unloaded and loaded directly from and into the freight cars. Its facilities for loading into wagons and drays are equally good. On the fifth floor, which has an al most perfect system of ventilation, there are now seven carloads of onion sets. On the fourth floor are many carloads of grain and grass seeds, and among the stock on the third floor is a carload of Kentucky bluegrass seed. Provision is made for recleanlng seeds by the latest and best styles of clean ing mills. On the second floor are the almost numberless varieties of vegetable and flower seeds. On this floor are the large and well-appointed offices of the company. The retail branch, familiar to all Coloradans, is a little more than a block away, on Fifteenth street, con nected by private telephone system.
