AFFAIRS AT DENVER.
ATTENTION DRAWN FROM THE
LEGISLATURE TO THE
COURTS.

Fight Of tho 'Pathies-James Whit.
comb Riley Is ComIng-in Darkest
Denver.
From our regular correspondent
DENVER, Colorado. Feb. 2, 1891.
Since tho legislative fracas has been
stilled by tho diotum of the Supreme Cour,
the General Assembly has been less inter
eating TO tho sensation seekers. The rou-
tine work Of law making or law tinker
Ing is not In itself exciting, and the pres
ent Assembly, up to this date, has not de-
veloped any peculiarly picturesque char
acters. In fact 1t Is In no sense interesting
nnd impressive In its personnel. 1t is a
gathering Of commonplace men-in up
pearanco at lesst-and Is Mother remark
able for dudes nor clowns. So far as the
public are informed, the celebrated
bockless Congressman Of Kansas has no
Colorado imitators.
THE WELLINGTON CASE.
No sooner Is the legislative muddle
settled and the assembly room Of tho
House cleared Of revolvers than attention
is focused upon the Millington murder
trial, which promises to become one OF the
most celebrated cases ever known In the
Colorado courts. The social standing Of
the accused MIR. Francis Mlllington ind
his wife, who was tho widow Of ". H..
Avery, the man alleged to hav< been
poisoned, and tho fact that Mr.. Milling
toms sister, also accused, Is u young lady,
would naturally attract unusual attention.
When 70 the prominence of tho man al
legged to have been murdered, and Of the
persons on trial, is added tho brilliant
array Of legal talent on both sides, It
would be strange indeed II the case were
not matter Of great interest. However
no attempt hus been made to excite public
feeling against tho accused, and they are
apparently sure Of IN impartial trial.
Whether this would have been the case
had the leader of the defense been the
prosecutor instead, we can only guess
Which Of us, ifhe controlled great news
paper, would allow it to DO strictly neu
trail where 1t might be used to further his
own ends In any controversy whatsoever.
BIG PILLS VERSUS LITTLE PILLS.
, Tho controversy before the Board Of
County Commissioners Of Arapahoe Coun-
~ as to tho management Of the county
hospital has been finally decided In favor
Of the allopaths for the coming ycar.
Tho homeopathic have presented their
case with much vigor and skill, and wore
able 10 show by the figures Of DIR. Everett,
who Is tine tactician rs well as physician
that their school had eminent success
while in control OF that institution. II Is
urged, with apparent reason, that the sys-
TEN Mt present adopted Of dividing the
care OF the patients among large num-
Der Of physicians Is liable to result In
neglect or mismanagemont in some cases.
II was charged by the allopaths during
the discussion that the rival school did no,
restrict itself TO inhnitcsimal doses, but
used very much tho same remedies pre-
scribcd by the old school. This is probably
true, to large extent, and 1t Is no doubt
equally true that old school physicians are
incorporating in their practice much that
they have learned from tho monographs.
In fact, any doctor who does not promptly
make use Of every new discovery for the
cure Of disease that comes to hand from
any source Ia disgrace to his profession,
DR. Kocn's LYMPH.
Speaking Of doctors calls to mind the
famous discovery Of DIR. Koch for the cure
Of consumption. DIR. $. NJ. Pcarman, Of
Denver, writing to the Republican from
Philadelphia, where hc has been observ-
ing experiments with tho Koch lymph al
the Pennsylvania University Hospital,
quotes the report OF DIR. Pepper, chairman
OF the investigation committee, to the effect
that In forty-eisht cases OF consumption
the results were us follows; In eighteen
cases fully developed the results were
negative, IN sixteen cases advanced,
there was some toning up OF tho general
system, but with no marked improvement
In the physical signs OF the chest, the
character Of roles being unchanged. IL
the remaining fourteen cases, ciassCd as
incipicnt. there was, seemingly, some im.
provement Professor Pepper, In conc!u'
sion, said; "'rho general results on III,
whole arc favorable. have never seen a
group OF cases similarly affected under
my other treatment do quite so well AS
has this group. Beyond this ! am not
willing to commit myself"
DR.. Pcarman thinks that investigations
should be conducted with great care. us II
il not yet certain that the lymph may mol
be capable OF introducing consumption la.
TO healthy system.
ANOTHER MURDER TRIAL.
