The funeral will take place at Pama, the former home of the deceased.

The remains will be taken there this morning. Senator and Mrs. Carter, who spent yealeiday at the bedside of the dying man, will accompany the body cast. Mr. Carter was born in Ireland April 15, 1830, and came to this country when a mere iad, having not even the proverbial lucky penny with which to start a fortune.

He lived for years in Illinois and Towa, and necumulated quite a fortune In farming lands in those Later on. he came and for tin' past 2.5 years lie has resided almcjst constantly in Colorado. He did considerable contracting work for the Colorado Fuel A Iron company- In various parts of the state, and for the Denver Rio Grande railroad. He has spent the time in Colorado at Pueblo, Salida and Cripple Creek, but his home for the past five y-ears has been Colorado Springs. He usually- lived all alone, but of late has inade hia home at the St.

James hotel on South t'ascade avenue. He is said to bo worth in the vicinity of $200.000. Three children survive him. Senator Thomas C. Carter.

E. G. Carter, a wealthy mining man of Helena, and Mrs. Thomas ('ruse, also of Helena. He held a position at the mint at Philadelphia, and for several years has V)een deputy forestry commissioner, appointed about five years ago by President McKinley.

Mr. Carter is well known throughout the state. Although American in all else, he always retained his rich Irish brogue and his Irish love of a joke. He was remarkable for his memory-, often amusing a crowd of friends with his vivid remembrance of some long forgotten circumstance of interest. He possessed a true Gaelic shrewdness that amassed him a fortune by tact at saving the pences.

Although not a man of eiudltion or profound education, he was remarkably clever, and possessed a keen knowledge of men and events that stood him in place of a college degree. His acquaintances everywhere were his friends, for he was a philosopher as well as a wit. Up to xvithin tw weeks, he was in comparatively robust health, being as athletic as the average oung man of the present day. He took a great deal of Interest in his duties as forestry commissioner, and thought nothing of a day w-alk over the mountains. At the forest fire at Rosemont early last fall, Mr.

Carter spent three days fighting the fire, and cange back very hapny over his adventure. He was a son of nature, and was never so happy as when out of doors engaged in some pursuit of labor. He w-as very proud of the achievements of his two sons, one of whom w-as the senator from Montana, and the other the wealthy- mining man at Helena. Senator and Mrs. Carter arrived at the Antlers yesterday morning, and spent most of the time at the ho.spital with Mr.

Carter. They leave on the Rio Giande this morning for Pama, Hi. whereby- it la claimed that ore can be milled at $1.90 per ton. Of course, at this rate, there would he an immen.se profit In joining even the lowest grade ore.

Waits tiilnks that the recent discoveries of oil in Colorado nrc but the indications of a great find of oil in the immediate future. He says, however, lhat he does not think it will be of as a grade as has been discovered al- but will probably be fuel oil. and that there w-tll he a great future for this prodtjct In its use in paving streets and other to which low grade oil has recently been put. BURGLAR SURPRISED WHILE HE WAS AT WORK. A burglar was surprised while plundering the residence of Mr.

Russell. No. 840 Ea.st Cache la Foudre street last night, but made his escape. The only plunder he secured was a revolver. The family was away- from home during the early part of the evening.

About 8:30 o'clock one of the children enteied the back door of the house. The burglar had broken in and was ran.sacking the place when he heard the child enter. He made a break for the front door and managed to make his escape before persons summoned by the youngster could reach the house. He had been interrupted while searching for plunder, and all he secured was the revolver, which belonged the Mr. Russell.

The police were notified of the robbery. NEW COUNCIL INSTITUTED BY ROYAL ARCANUM HERE.

and Mrs. Poyell w-ere marrrved in Denver, April 1899, and have resided in Colorado Springs continually- since then except for occasional to New York. Mrs. Pow-ell is the only child of Mr. and Mis.

George W. Trimble, and is heiress to considerable property both from her parents, and from her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. A. V.

Hunter of Leadvllle. She is considered one of the wealthiest of the young women of this part of the state. The complaint, which is very brief, sets forth that Mr. Poweil has neglected to support his wife for the past year, and gives the date of the marriage. being merely a formal complaint.

Ml-. Powell is a mining broker, and has been in Now York for several months. Mr. Trimble is a I.eadville banker and is one of the best known and most successful mining men in the state. A TOWN GOVERNMENT IS PROPOSED FOR IVYWILD.

A meeting of resident.s of Ivywild will be held this evening at the residence of William B. Jenkins, No. 1622 South Nevada avenue, for the purpose of discussing a town organization. The result of the meeting may be that Ivywild will be incorporated as a town. It is likely that the meeting will be enthusiastic and if it is not decided to form a corporate tow-n at least a strong local society w-lll be formed.

The growth of the pretty suburb has been steady and many of the prominent citizens there think the time is ripe for the forming of a tow-n government. At present the town is under the county government, but the population is large enough to form a community with its own local government. The advisability of this organization will be discussed thoroughly at tonight's meeting. The meeting will be called at 7:30 and all cltl-zens of Ivywild are invited to attend. In Denver in 1866.

TO BUILD THE INSTITUTE LINE. The Colorado Bprtng.s A Huburban company's Improvements, a.s contemplated by granted to Mr.

Stiatton a yeai- ago. are now uiidej- fair way to completion. The stjeet line, the only one projected at that time on which no work had yet been done, is now under construction and will be completed in time to be with the of the rystcm in May. As a matter of fact weie set on the north end of the line in the early summer a year ago, but work ceased before anything considerable ha(2 been done. The work now in course of eompleiion IticUides the coii- sti'uction of the r.ailway east on Flatte avenue from AVahsatch avenue to Institute street and thence noith on Institute sti-eet to Cuche la Foudre.

The enterprise and progre.s.sive spirit of the propei'ty owners in the vicinity of this new line has made the completion of tlie line simultaneously with that of the re.st of the new street railway possible. Mr. Stratton announced to some inquirers a few days ago that he would not build this line with Institute street in its present condition but that as soon as the grade could be established and the Street put into shape so that a railway put there w-ould not have to be re-built at an early date and he a constant source of heavy expense Ir. mainten.Tnce, he would build the Alderman Capell, w-ho made the inquiry. went to work with a subscription paper and reported to the council last night that if the city engineer could be instructed to establish the grade on Institute street from Platte avenue to Cache la Foudre street, the people of the east side were ready to pay for the work of putting the street in shape and that they had already raised $.500 for that purpo.se.

The city engineer was so instructed and will do the work tcjday. The Suburban company is already at work on this extension. The curve from the Wahsatch avenue line to Platte avenue w-as put in yesterday and there will be no occasion for delay in the building of this line. The work of putting Institute street in condition for the building of the line will i-e- quire about a w-eek. In Java Natives do not glaze coffee with a cheap and impure coating.

Meantime, it may not be to rehearse something of the history of this object. Thi.s will disclose the reasons which have drawn special attention to this star, and the methods of research which have led to a relatively full ledge of it. The fact that Algol is not always of he same brilliancy as noticed as early us 1663 by Montanari.

More than a enturv ia'ter, in 1783, Goodricke discov- 'lod that the changes w-ere periodic, and ujving once suspected that fact, he had ittle difficulty in ascertaining that the periodicity was not only actual, but i.stonlsliingly regular. From his time ho beginning of scientific investigation 5 this star may be considered to dale. The preceding epoch of unsystematic or haphazard observation of the fact of is indeed believed by some to begin much earlier than the time of Mcntan.ari. A claim is put forward in lehalf of the -Arabs, and If it is allowed, back the time of the discovery to tenth century or thereabout. This fiaim, so far as 1 have been able to ascertain, rests entirely on the etymol- 3 gy of the name Algol, which was certainly given by the Arabs, and moans The first syllable.

Al, the Arabic article, wWlc the I whfc I nation of Algol in the old Greek Hstn-: of Perseus, to see if a reason for tliia name also be furnished in tii- usual way. We at oiue find a reason to complete and satisfactory as I 0 reniovc all need of any other sugge.stion. For Algol is the only bright star in lhat part of the figure w-liieh represents the head of the Gorgon. Medusa, carried hand. Medusa, as she was lep- resented by the Greek.s, is ghoulish enough to justify tlie name Kl Ghoul for her chief star.

If. then, th' name has any connection with variability of light, the diseoverer.s of the ter were Greeks, not Arabs, and the discovery was earlier by centuries than the epoch of Arab astronomy. But. in this form, the theory is too WELLS FARGO ANNIVERSARY. Todav is the fiftieth anniversary of the Co.

Judge Cunningham, who is one of the defendants, was on the bench and declined to the motion. The hearing of the arguments was continued until another judge can be secure( to preside. The suit is brought to recover 1 a.mount named, the complaint staL that the money is due on account of neglect of the defendant lawyer? prosecuting a case for the plaintiff.

The suit was brought early in 1894, and O'Haire claims that he furnished $1.929.70 for the prosecution of the suit.

The po.st mortem show-ed that Nelson's death w-as due to an inflammation of the lungs. There w-as 110 evidence of foul play, but there is still much m.vstery attached to the case, as Nelson i.s said to have had over $500 in his poRseEsion at the time of his death and no trace of the money can now be found. home was at No. 1111 Washington avenue. About four months ago he was working on his new- residence at that addiess when he fell from the roof and was injured internaliy.

He became HI as the result of the accident and a month ago started for California on a trip for his health. He wrote to his wife every day for six days, but after that no word wa.s received fi-om him. Mrs. Nelson notified the police about 10 days ago that she luul heard no word from him for several days, and the San Francisco authorities were notific'd. They sent word that Nelson had sailed from that city for Seattle.

Word was leceived latei- from Aberdeen. Washington, that Nelson had died on the steamer on route to Seattle. The body had been left at Aberdeen in charge of the coroner at that place. Coroner Law was notified of the death and the body w-as ordered shipped to Colorado Springs. It arrived here yesterday morning.

Dr. Berry, who was Nelson's physician here, performed an autopsv last night, as the widow thonghl h-'r Itusband had been killed and robbed. Tills suspicion was given confirmation by the fact that no money was reported found on the body by the coroner at Aberdeen. An Inquest was held there and a verdict of death from heart failure was given. The autopsy last night removed all doubts as to the cause of Nelson's death, but the mystery as to what became of the money he is supposed to have had when he died is unsolved.

He had $800 when he left Colorado and it is supposed that he had at leuBt $500 when he died. Nelson w-as a butcher and was well- to-do. He left a widow and two children. He was 53 old. at No- ml (Va.h)n,tn„ uve.lua.

For a long time there has been talk of the dl.scovcry of oil indications a short distance from Peyton, on the property known as the Durham live stock ranch. Oil has been seen on the surface of w-ater rising from several springs on this property and parties looking the ground over with a view- to the possible existence of oil in the land have sent samples of the water to Denver to be tested.

It Is said that they have received returns of a most en- coar.sging character. One of the mo.st significant features of the alleged oil discovery in that section, however, is the recent presence of several parties representing Denver capital and action already taken by them with a view to securing extensive holdings in the vicinity. Several leases on land adjoining the Durham property have been taken out by people and it der.stood that they intend to commence drilling foi- oil at once. PENNSYLVANIAN ON SONORA MINING DISTRICT.

The 18th of March. 1902. will be the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of 5Vell.s Fargo it- Company. Early in last year it was decided to signalize the occasion by prerenting to employe.s a medal as a token of the appreclatlen of their zeal and fidelity to its interost.s. In furtherance of the cherished wfsh of our late lamented president, who, previou.s his death, caused the medal to be designed with typical representations on either side in bas-relief, wo have had a sufficient number struck to meet tlie re- quirenients of the department nianagcr.s, who will see that one of these medals, HO unique in character and precious as a souvenir of the semi-centennial of tlie company's existence, is delivered on or about the date named, with copy of this circular, to each employe w-ho has been in the company's service for a period Of one ytai- prior 10 the anniversary.

Valentine, who died la.st December 21 at his home in Oakland. Gaiif.

Mr. Valentine was a taenefiecnt employer. He inaugurated the system by which the company pays the prenilums on the which the employes are required to furnish. Every Thanksgiving day he remembered each of the emplo.ves of the company bj- a present of a turkey. The Interest and welfare of the ployes of the company waa always hia.

The silver medal to be presented to the employes of the great company today is emblematic of the growth of the company's business. On the obverse side are engravings of the early express messenger of the plains fighting Indians, and the otd-tlme stage coach being held up by robbers. The reverse side shows engravings of the up-to- date express train and the express steamer. Crossed keys represent security and the seal and pens are shown to represent the vast clerical work of the business. On the obverse aide of the medallions are the words.
