Creased With OIcO.

Denver, Colo, April 20.-Govcrnol
Adams has vetoed the bill regulating
the manufacture and sale of oleu-
margarine. The veto message is
sensational in the extreme, as the
Governor includes in his message a
letter to a Denver lawyer to an oleo-
margarine manufacturer in Chicago
going to show that the bill was pass
ed by means Of the most open and
barcfaced bribery in both house and
senate. The bill provided that olco-
margarine could be sold but that no
coloring mater could be used. The
governor Witholds the names used in
his letter, which was written TO urge
the manufacturer to send $3.50, his
share of the amount needed to insure
the passage Of the bill. 1t was stated
that local dealers had already con-
tributed and that manufacturers in
Kansas City and indianapolis had
agreed to do SO.

state. The message has never reach
ed the sorrowing little woman. for
whom it was intended. 1t was sup
pressed by the officials, who seeming
ly gave consent for its transmission,
and all that Mrs. Rivera has learned
of her husband has been through the
cable dispatches from Havana tell
ing of the generals dying condition.
The word from Havana is that Gen.
Rivera is dying. His wounds were
neglected until gangrene set in.
Two days ago in his prison lie was
I:told that death would probably claim
him shortly. He asked permission
to send dispatch, a farewell mes.
