of Pueblo -were elected delegates to the
St. Louis convention from the second

silver question, and heartily indorse
Hon. Henry M. Teller in his stand and
actions in the United States senate on
the tariff question, in maintaining that
no tariff legislation be. passed by con
gress nntil silver is restored to its proper
place in the currency of the country and
there is free coinage of that metal at a
. ratio with gold of 16 to 1."

ceived a telegram from Wolcott, declin
ing to permit his name to be considered

says : . "I am too good a Republican to
wish to create any division in my party
in Colorado, and too much concerned for
the success of bimetalism and the great
principles of the Republican, party to do
so under any circumstances.'' This
ends all prospects of serious trouble.

vention instructed for McKinley, and

uutarily started her endeavors in behalf
of Pollard and Harris, who had mur
dered an Italian in a saloon row, and
whom the governor had refused to give
a. further respite, and for whom their
lawyer had apparently given up hope.
The girl appeared in the office of Hugh
Roberts, attorney " for the condemned
men, before he bad arrived there this
morning.
'I want to do something for these
men, ' she said. "1 don t think they
ought to hang. There does not seem to
be any one trying- to help them, and
that is what I am. here for." .
The youthful pleader nervously
watched the surprised lawyer for a mo
ment after delivering' the above, and
then -continued": ' ' '
"I want you- to write me a petition
and I'll get a thousand people to sign it
before Friday morning. " I'll just make
the governor commute their sentences.
Hurry, please, I can't waste "any time."
Miss Howe could not be argued out of
her intention. . She was stubborn in her
purpose," and at last, armed with a peti
tion feTt the office triumphantly. The
petition was vigorously circulated in the
city hall and up and down the business
streets, nearly every man she met fur
nishing the coveted . signature. . She
worked incessantly, and. when, late in
the day, she displayed her petition filled
with names, her face beamed with joy.
She is of respectable parentage, and was
one of the number of . visitors who saw
the prisoners during their incarceration.

A Strong; Statement.
If you are not used to smoking clear
Havana cigars, you may not like the
Regulator. If so I cannot help it. I
cannot improve on ; this brand as J am
now using the finest imported stock
possible to obtain. Something cheaper
might suit some tastes. You need not
look' for anything better, for there is no
finer stock grown anywhere in the known
world than that used ' in the Regulator
cigar. Here is the formula: .
i Fillers Vueita Abajo Havana, at
$1.25 a pound.' ' .. .
, Wrappers Delhi Langskaat Sumatra,
at $4 a pound. u .". '
: I am willing to stake' my future repu
tation on the truth of this statement.
- O. A.-PTKRSOJI.
j Note In connection, with; the above
statement, I desire to explain . that it is
impossible to 'put more than 15 cents
yalne into any reasonable silse cigar, be
cause no tobacco in the world is worth
more Whenever ' a - brand . is sold for
more than $80 per thousand at whole
sale, it is simply a fancy price and noth
ing more. Sumatra tobacco , ib never
used for filler; but as a wrapper it stands
alone as the only perfect wrapper, on
account of its superior burn apd pleasing
appearance. The import duty on this
leaf is $2 a pound, but still we have- to
use it on fine goods, as there is no do'
meetic substitute. O. A. P.
