Only the tiroes J la Its the Items Gathered in From Far and Near Indecent Plays in New York. From the Baltimore Sun. Reports from New York Indicate that some of the plays which were condemned last season as demoralizing and objec tlonable will be produced aeain this year in certain theaters of the metropolls notwithstanding the protests of the clergy, and of thoughtful elements among patrons of the drama in the greater city. Before the close of the last season in New York a movement was under way for the enforcement of a censorship of the stage, but it was abandoned when assurances were given by some of the managers that the most objectionable plays would be eliminated. The reproduction of inde cent and demoralizing Dlavs this sea son may revive the demands for a consorsbip, and the amnagers will have only themselves to thank if re strictions are imposed upon them. The Horse. From the Omaha Bee. Even as a

, sport the harness horse fancy is still alive, though dwindling, it must be r" confessed. At fairs patronized bv

farmers, the trotting race is an attractloji, for the farmers and dwellers in small towns understand horses and the art of speeding them. Automo biles have come to stay, to Improve and to become cheaper, but can no more dlsnface the horse than ocean Users can displace the schooner and meireigni Doa. jsacn after its kind. Horses of average uses have risen in price In the midst of the automobile crazev This big country can use more horses than it has been raising. Unless it raises, more there will be a high priced scarcity; in the Market. People may not rave over speed horses, but they will have to pay money for the draft breeds and the utility horse which carries on farm work. S Prohibitive Prohibition. From the Springfield Union. The Alabama bouse has passed a bill forbidding the advertisement of alcoholic liquors anywhere in the , state and making the use of the word "saloon" Illegal. The measure is also very strict in regard to the investigation of complaints, and provides that an internal revenue license shall be regarded as ground for arrest and indictment on the charge of liquor selling. This hill supplements a measure recently passed in the same state forbidding the keepers of liquors in clubhouses. Evidently Alabama proposes to take its prohibition full strength. Big Crops. :From the Los Angeles Express. Do you observe how the sides of Uncle Sam's granary are bulging out because of the enormous crops stored therein? Congress Overstocked Now. From the New York Evening Telegram. With all due respect to Colorado, there is an idea in some quarters that there are enough old women In Congress already. Unscientific. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "Let the children eat candy; it is good for them," says a scientist. Can a person who is willing for any one to do what he wants to do be really a scientist? TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson) A dinger. "Bliggins used to eay he admired a clinging woman. Did he marry one?" "Yes. She hangs on to every cent of his salary." A Cautious Captive. "Prisoner," said "the court" sternly, "are you guilty or not guilty?" "Now jedge," answered the defendant confidentially, "we's bof been th'oo dis here kin o business befo'. An, you knows jes as well as I does dar ain no use o me tryin to answer dat kind of a question tell de trial's over an I finds out whether I's been lucky or not."

The Next Move

Whether the S. S. Saxton Construction Co. will succeed in gaining its entering wedge on Eighth street despite the wishes of the largest property owners on the street and despite the wishes of the Board of Works the town must realize that the fight will not be over. , Win or lose, we are up against the asphalting of the whole town. The S. S. Saxjton Company is not going to stop with Eighth street

It appears that Mr. Saxton himself has told Mr. Watson O'Neal, of the Board of Works, that he lobbied in the state legislature to obtain the provisions in the statute by which he attempts to pave Eighth, street on a technicality despite the wishes of those who own the greatest frontage. It would seemingly follow that when Mr. Saxton takes bo much trouble to have the state law arranged for his own convenience that a mere bagatelle such as paving the cities in which he operates, is one which will not greatly worry him. Having the law where he wants it there is nothing but a little diplomatic negotiation left for the S. S. Saxton Company. And who shall doubt that of this they are not thoroughly capable. Certainly they had no trouble In getting their entering wedge started. It was only popular indignation that temporarily headed it off together with the hard headedness of the Board of Works and the City Attorney who have refused thus far to be beguiled.

The next move Who shall say? It behooves every property owner every man who does not want to see the town changed into a good' field for a good thing to watch for this next move and to fight it. The time is coming within not many years when Main Street from the bridge to Fourth will be up for paving. Do you think the S. S. Saxton Co., et al. will let that escape? A resident property owner or two in that region can fix the whole thing or force the board to take no action on it The law as will be remembered gives them this chance. The law was made under S. S. Saxton's assistance. That hill on Main Street would' be as fine a sheet of ice as ever a horse fell down on. That may be the next move.

tience and industry and determination and those other qualities that make for success," said the anxious mother "Great Scott!" rejoined the nervous father. "Can you doubt it? Haven't you heard him learning to play 'Home, Sweet Home,' on the mouth organ?" Real Enjoyment. I find a boundless pleasure On the boardwalk by the shore; If I were a mosquito I'd enjoy it even more. Mistaken Identity. "I always did enjoy that .scene in which Hamlet comes out and solilo quizes," said Mr. Cumrox. "My dear," replied his wife, "you are confused again. You have gotten Hamlet mixed up with that vaudeville person who comes out and throws his voice." The Study of the Constellations as a Pastime. Probably every reader has often ad mired the beauty of a starlight night. A little careful observation on such a night will show that the brighter stars may be divided Into groups or "constel lations," as tne astronomers call tbem. most of which are known by the name of animals or legendary nersons, such for example as "the Great Beer," "tne Swan." "Hercules." "Andromeda," etc. The easiest method of learning these "constellations" Is from some one already acquainted with them, but If the beginner Is not fortunate enough to know any such person the majority can be learned from any cheap star maps such as are sometimes contained In almanacs Now, If the budding astronomer will notice the position of any of these groups or constellations at a particular hour of any night and then look a few hours afterward he will see that during" the interval the stars which ap peared low down in the east have risen to the south In a somewhat similar manner to the annarent motion of the sun and moon, while closer attention on several evenings will show a circular or rotary movement around the north pole of the heavens, the motion being the opposite way to the hands of a clock. Near the north pole is a bright star called the "Pole star." This star is easily found when the observer has once noted the seven bright stars of the "Great Bear," the two outer stars of . the four forming the "square" known as the "pointers" point almost directly to the Pole star. This majes tic movement of the stars around the pole of the heavens is a most sublime and wonderful sight. Country Side. LETTER LIST. Women Mrs. Llllie Brigham. Mrs. Jane Beckley, Mrs. Joel B.

A QUIETUS GIVEN PIIICHOT DISPUTE This Action Taken After Debate in Trans-Mississippi Congress. ROAST SPEAKER CANNON

NATIONAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IS ALSO GIVEN A STRONG CALLING REBATES MOTHER OF TRUSTS. Denver, Colo., Aug. 21. The agita tion over the Colorado forest reserves and the activities of Gifford Pinchot broke into open fire before the TransMississippi congress yesterday after noon, and after a hot debate a resolution calling upon congress for a law declaring for a division of the agricul ture, mineral and forest lands was passed. The resolution was the one presented by former Senator Patterson, of Colorado. It had been in committee for two days, and the feeline was aboard that it was an overt at tack on Pinchot, and this assertion was made on the floor by Frank Goudy, of Denver, who opposed the actIon Mr. Patterson said he had no inten tion of attacking Mr. Pinchot, and wanted merely a settlement of the Pinchot controversy, in which it has been charged that Mr. Pinchot overlooked technicalities in reserving forest lands. Stopped the Dispute. Instantly the floor was alive with prospective speakers for and aeainst the resolution, and it continued to be so until Mr. Goudy offered an amendment commending the forestry policies of the administration. This was accepted by Mr. Patterson, and in turn Mr. Goudy accepted the Patterson res olution. Both were passed. This is regarded as stopping the forestry dis pute, which has been the factor most feared through the session. The resolutions committee nresented a partial report and the clauses on the following subjects were adopted: That the income tax measure hecome a law. That a tariff commission of experts be placed in service. That congress pass a law regulating the use of grazing lands. That Alaska be given a territorial legislature. That congress pass a law preventing the collection of federal liquor revenue in prohibition territory. That aid be extended to American shipping. Railway Rebates Scored. The principal speaker of the afternoon was Governor Hadley. of Miss ouri, who dealt with the rate question in his state. Governor Hadley declares the rail way rebates and not the tariff is the mother of trusts. He said one man was responsible for placing the blame where it belongs and for nuttine a quietus on all the rate evil with such force that it has not shown its head since, and that man was Roosevelt He was not in favor of the government ownership of railroads, but would rather see this than the government owned by the railroads. He declared the answer to the rate question lies in making navigable the great inland waterways. Joseph G. Cannon and the national congress were scored when former Judge J. B. Belford. of Colorado, sought to show, that the commercial congress is dominated by "special interests." Gained His Point. Judge Belford charged that the dele gates to the congress are being herded into convention halls once a year and made to "listen to essays" carefully prepared for the "Infantile mind,"

Facts About The

Denver, Col Aug. 21. -The great Gunnison Tunnel, the first project undertaken by the United States government reclamation service, work on which has been progressing steadily for four and one-half years, Is now completed, and on September 2. President Taft will visit the Uncomthe gatts of the tunnel turning the flow of the Gunnison river Into the magnificently constructed bore, main and distributing canals of this enormous project, which will irrigate 150.OOO acres of choicest land now semiarid. The Gunnison tunnel is located in Montrose county in the Uncompahgre valley in Solorado. The two gangs of men boring the tunnel met at 5:4."i p. m., July 6, 1K, at a point 10.812 feet from the intake on the uGnnlson river. The tunnel is 30,000 feet (six milesi long, 11x13 feet inside measurement, and lined throughout with cement. The main canal is SO feet wide at the bottom, 83 feet wide at the top. and the average depth of the water is 10 with regard to public measures planned by the few leaders. "What's the use of millions of people west of the Mississippi river being represented if they have to sit still and be injected with a few spoonfuls of prepared rhetoric?'' If this is goiag to continue we may as well quit. If we are going to pattern this congress after the fashion of our ilustrious National House and its political czar let somebody say so and lay down the rules in black and white." Judge Belford Rained his nolnt for his motion, that hereafter the rules be amended so as to give an hour each day for the free discussion of whatev er subject may be uppermost in the mind of the delegates desiring to speak. This motion was adopted. John W. Miliken, of Colorado, was the principal speaker of the first ses sion. SERIOUSLY ILL.

"Moses' mother pitched his little cradle within and without with pitch and left him there In the pool of Sfloam, but when the daughter of Solomon got the green leaf from the dove 6he hastened and brought food convenient for him, and ihe babe crowed thrice and grew up !n her court" Agnes Dean Camera a iu Century. flow He Proposed. It is told of Oliver Wendell Holmes that after many futile attempts to propose to the lady of his choice his courage failed. They were walking one pleasant afternoou on Boston Common and, coming to where the path separated, he asked, "Which path shall we take?" "This one." she replied, turning toward it. "For life?" he asked. And she said "Yes." A Palpable Hit. Osmond Well, thank heaven, you've never seen me run after people who have money.

Gunnison Tunnel

feet The capacity is 1,300 cubic feet of water per second. The coat of the tunnel and distributing canals when completed will be over $5,000,000, and perpetual water rights will be sold to actual settlers at approximately $35 per acre, being based upon the actual cost of the tunnel. Ten years time will be allowed for payment, without interest. The lands to be irrigated are suitable for fruit growing and the raising of all kinds of farm crops. The water, after it leaves the tunnel will have 372 feet fall, which can be used to generate electric power sufficient to light every town and every farm house in the Uncompahgre valley and provide power for all kinds of com mercial and indurtrial purposes. The lands under this project will airora Domes tor all time to come for a population of at least 2T.xvt American citizens. Already there are three modern, enterprising and pro gressive towns Montrose, Olathe and Delta located in the valley, and with the development of this vast area other towns will undoubtedly come in to existence to mee the requirements of the rapidly growing population.
