TAFT GETS WARM WELCOME III WEST

Fifty Thousand People Were At Denver to Hear Address by the Ohioan. MAKES REPLY TO BRYAN. SAYS THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE WALL STREET SITUATION STORM ALWAYS BLOWS OVER. Denver, Aug. CO. That Denver tikes Secretary Taft, -was proved Thursday by 5000 people gathering at the Union station at C:30 a. m., to welcome him, and 50,000 massed around the state capitol in the afternoon to hear him speak, while other thousands lined the streets In the business section, through which he passed during the day to get a glimpse of and cheer him. Ills first act, after getting to his hotel, was to Hiimmon a throat specialist, his voice having given out in Kansas so that he was quite hoarse when he arrived. He was in fair voice when he spoke this afternoon. His speech was much the same as that with which he opened the campaign at Columbus. He deviated somewhat to reply to the published statement of William J. Bryan on trusts. He said Bryan wanted to "exterminate the trusts. He means by this, that he wants the trusts "dissolved into the constituent parts." Mr. Taft sa'd: "We don't agree with him. We want the good one continued and the bad ones abolished and all property regulated." Bryan Has no Faith In Courts. The secretary said that the difference between Bryan and Roosevelt is that Roosevelt has faith In the people. He had faith that good men can be secured to enforce the laws, whereas Bryan does not trust the courts and offers the Initiative ami referendum as a cure-all. Trevious to the speech, the secretary was asked what he thought of the Wall street situation. "I don't know much about Wall street." he said. "I cannot tell exactly what the effect will be. There have been disturbances of the markets all over the world and it Is not surprising that the American stock market has been somewhat upset. Several times we .have heard a great howl about the president Injuring the financial system, but the storm always seem to blow over without any mean result." City and County STATISTICS.

Mr. and Mrs. John H. Nicholson entertained at an elaborate dinner party Thursday evening at their home on East Main street, complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Eldar, of New York and Mr. and Mrs. Jesse S. Reeves, who will leave soon for Dartmouth College where Mr. Reeves will be a member of the faculty.

Swayne and Charles Marvel; Mr. Will Reeves, of Kenyon College, Mr. Nettleton Neff, Miss Edith Nicholson, Mrs. Guy S. McCabe, Mr. John L. Rupe and Mrs. Harry H. Weist. Mrs. S. E.

The hostess was assisted by Mrs. Fred Eastman and her mother, Mrs. Hodge. Musical numbers were rendered by Mrs. Price and a delightful luncheon. wa3 served. The guests of the club were Mrs. George Smith and Mrs. Tremble. In two weeks Mrs. Steven Thomas will be the hostess at her home, 44 South Twelfth street.

Horrible Cistom of a Soi-th American Indian Tribe. The Ucnyall Indians, n numerous south American trlbu. with decided cannibalistic tar res, who inhabit both banks of one or the uppermost and longest of the aCi:ents of the Amazon, have a system by hich they preserve th features of their dead, so that friends can always identify those that have gone to the "happy hunting ground" as surely as If gazing at si photograph. To accomplish this they cut the head from the body, but retain the long hair. The ghastly, bleeding trophies of a day's battle or a night's massacre of their enemies are suspended by the long, straight black hair to the limb of a tree. Directly under this they dig a hole, which they fill -with water, in their primitive way causing it to boil by placing hot stones In it, or, If near a camp or village, an earthen pot of boiliug water is used. The ascending hot vapor and steam which envelop the suspended head outlined by the fire and shadows, like ghosts in the darkness of a tropical night, in the deep solitude and under the black shadows of the palm forests, accompanied by the weird antics of the tig'.y human brutes end the shriek of wild birds of the night or the howl of tigers, make a scene that cannot be fully described to the imagination. This steaming process has the effact of loosening the scalp from the skull or in some way of softening it that all the bones are removed. With the vacant sack of skin drawn from the head intact, they next fill it with hot pebbles and sand. These are replaced by others when they are cool. The process they use has the effect of drying and shrinking the skin, but in some way? not clearly known, it preserves the original features of the victim. They are thus distorted and ghastly looking reminders of the departed. London Spare Moments. ITofessor 1-u-N.iey uu u i tinny way of remembering certain anatomical details of the human heart.

CRACK NUT SUNDAY. Queer Method of Hearing a Sermon Still In Use In England. "One fine autumn Sanday I attended a service in a north of England country church that would have driven a New York preacher clean crazy," said the roan who travels. "The congregation didn't do a thing but sit around and crack nuts. Fancy a New York minister talking to a crowd of that kind! The modern preacher likes to have things quiet v.-hen he talks. It disconcerts him to hear a baby cry or a woman cough or an old man snore. If he is put out by such trifles as these, It is Interesting to conjecture what be would do If he were to take hold of a congregation where every body brought nuts to crack during the sermon. "Worshipers, it seems, used to do this in England and even in our own states during colonial days. This disturbance was not a weekly occurrence by any means. If it had been, the poor preacher would have undoubtedly left his flock to administer spiritual consolation to suit themselves. But as it happened only once a year he was forced to endure It. This one day which was attended by such remarkable license came the Sunday before Michaelmas day and was called 'crack nut Sunday.' Nobody, no matter how pious he might be, hesitated to avail himself of the peculiar privilege granted him, and men, women and children came to church with their pockets stuffed with nut3, which they complacently cracked and munched during the sermon. 'It was that kind of a sermon that so impressed me with Its oddity. It can be easily imagined that when forty or fifty ieople get to cracking nuts vith all their might the noise is apt to be something terrific, and many times the minister was hard put to It to hear himself think. That custom, from being regarded with high favor for many years, finally came to be looked upon as a nuisance, and the habit was suppressed, except in a few remote localities, although the act of suppression was attended with considerable difficulty, so firmly had the nut cracking fever taken hold of the fancy of the people."

BID RECEIVED SEWER CONTRACT Board of Works Has Same Old Disappointment Handed Out to It. COST PLACED AT $105,000. THE PENNSYLVANIA COMPANY HAS LET A CONTRACT FOR IMPROVEMENT AT NORTHWEST SECOND STREET. Today the board of public works again met to receive bids on the proposed sewer system in West Richmond south of Main street, and the proposed sewer system on Northwest Second street. As usual not a bid was received and the city officials are at their wits end to know what to do. These proposed Improvements have been estimated to cost ?103X. One out of town bidder has been figuring on taking both contracts, but at the last moment he decided not to subrait a bid. He stated that the Indiana law which does, not permit estimates to be made for assessment purposes until the completion of the work prevented him from taking over the contract. He also objected to the method of paying the contractor for his work at the completion of the job. Mr. Merrill of the board, stated that the Pennsylvania railroad company had let its contracts for the improvements at the Northwest Second street crossing and that the city would do everything in its power to let a contract for the sewer system, which, under the agreement the city has with the railroad company, must build. Delay in constructing this sewer means a delay in all the improvements. No further effort to secure a bid for the sewer system in the south side of west Richmond will be made until late in the fall. WHEN NAPulLUM WALKED. An Incident of the Tragic Retreat From Mcccow. It was on Nov. 2o. at about 7 o'clock in the morning, when v. e saw the head of the column. The first we saw were generals, a few of whom were on horseback, but the majority c foot. The latter painfully dragged themselves along, almost all having their feet frozen and bound up in rag;; and pieces of sheepskin and dying of hunger. We then paw what was left of the cavalry cf the guard. The emperor came nest on foot, with a stick In his hand. He was muffled up in a large enpote lined with fur and wore on his head an amaranthine velvet cap edged with black foxskin. On his right marched, also on foot. King Murat; on his left, Prince Eugene, viceroy of Itaiy: then Berthler, prince of Neufchatel; Ney, Mortier, Lefebvre and other marshals and generals whose corps, had been partly destroyed. They were followed by 700 to S00 officers and suboiheers. marching in order and bearing in the greatest silence the eagles of the regiments to which they had belonged and that had so often led them to victory. They were the remnant of ever tJO.OOO men. My poor Pi cart, who had not seen the army for a month, gazed on silently, but his convulsive movements showed only too well what he felt. I saw big tears roll down the cheeks and fall on his mustache, from which icicles were hanging. Then, trfrning to me, "Really, compatriot, I do not know whether I am asleep or awake; I weep because I have seen our emperor mnrrhincr on foot, a stick in his handhe that was so great and who has -. ... - c w. made vis so proua: .uemoires 01 oeigeant Bourgogne."

LIGHTNESS OF MAIL OUEJO VACATION Decrease Shown in Amount at Postoffice.

IS ANNUAL OCCURRENCE. That vacation time3 are on Is evidenced by the lightness of the maU being handled at the local postoffice. The carriers, however, are happy as there is but a comparatively small amount of mail being received while the outgoing mail Is below normal. The busy postoffice season promises to open as soon as the vacation season closes. Postmaster Spekenhier says that at this time of the year, while people are away taking their vacations, the amount of mall matter handled always decreases. BUSINESS COLLEGE IS OPENED SUCCESSFULLY Attendance on the Fall Term Quite Large. TWO NEW INSTRUCTORS. The Richmond Business college has opened its r.N7-10'S school term with a large attendance. A large number of old students who have not yet registered, are expected next week. Many of these are now attending the Chautauqua. Two new instructors' faces appeared in the faculty at the beginning of the school term. Miss Carolyn Manklnson. now of Matthews, Ind., a former instructor in the Indianapolis branch of the school, now has the shorthand department. Ancll Elliott of Richmond has been selected to take charge of the commercial department. The acquisition of both instructors adds much to the merit of the courses offered in the two departments. BELIEVE IN DREAMS?" If Yea, What Would You Do In a Caaa Similar to This? If you should dream that a man with whom you were acquainted killed his wife, if you vividly saw him plunge a dagger into her heart in your vision, would you tell the wife of your premo nition of a tragedy? This question has been puzzling a number of peopl in London. A married' couple were inspecting a house which was for rent in Surrey some time aero. While the husband inspect ed the stables the wife remained in the parlor. Shortly after her husband left the room, the wife said, a man and woman entered. The woman was young and pretty and in tears. The man was angry. After gesticulating a few minutes he rushed to the girl, drew a knife from his coat and plunged it through her heart. With a loud shriek the woman who witnessed the tragedy arose and staggered to the door. She looked about her and saw that the couple had vanished. She realized she had either been dreaming or had seen a vision. When her husband returned she told him her experience. They did not rent the house. Some time afterward while attending a reception the woman was introduced to a young lady and her fiance. She recognized the characters of her vision. Later the young couple to whom 6he had been introduced were married. To her dismay, the woman learned they had leased the very house where she had experienced the harrowing dream. What was she to do? She asked her friends. They were at a loss to give her advice. The woman was convinced that she was given the premonition of a tragedy. At the same time she dreaded provoking a disagreement in case there should be nothing but a hallucination. What would you do in such a case? This would depend, of course, as to whether or not you believe In dreams. Do you? POINTED PARAGRAPHS. As a matter of fact there are no very big fish in small puddles. You can usually find a pin almost anywhere but In the pincushion. A fool is the greatest nuisance In this world. And there are quite a few of them. It is beyond some men to understand the difference between pomposity and dignity. We have always wondered what women do with the 2 cents saved in purchasing a two dollar article for $1.0. Have you ever stopped to admire the self control of the man who can pick up a load pencil without marking on something? Every man would have a pretty fair reputation If people looked for his good qualities as carefully as they look for the good qualities of a dog. Atchison Globe. Absentminded 'Catora.

RETURNS TO CITY AFTER TRIP' Buffalo Bill Making His First Appearance Here in Seven Years

THE OUTFIT LOOKS GGOD. OWING TO THE HEAVY RAINFALL THE SHOWMEN HAD A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE WITH THEIR WAGONS. It has arrived. For the first time in seven years the tents of the Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders, have been erected on Richmond show grounds. The best ever, it was advertised and the best ever, fcchis to bo the only fitting phrase by which to designate it. The condition of tho grounds after the rain last night is as good as could be expected, but this did not seem to be a drawback to tho crowd which filled the ground all day. Considerable difficulty was exi-eil-enced by the show men in hau'.ing their heavy wagons up North F street, owing to the loose, wet gravel, and several times they went in to the hub. especially on the hill between Seventeenth and Nineteenth t-treets. The animals owned by Buffalo Bill seem above the avoiago for ciicus horses, as they are sleek and fat, and seem to need very little persuasion to do their work with a will. There wero about lo0 work horses in use all morning, while In the stables used for the ring horses, some of the best look. Ing animals ever seen in this city, were in evidence. A large number of Indians had their tents pitched early nd were busily offering for sale some of their bead work, at fabulous prices. Tho small boy was every whero in evidence and his admiring shouts of "Oh, gee. look at that gun," and 'Txxk at them Indians in their war-paint," could be heard on every side. A number of them were also working bard. helping put up tno seats in oraer o get "comps" for the big show. INCREASE IIJHEIB PAY Bill Will Be Presented Favoring Soldiers.
