work goes on. one day last week they

pounds Of cabbage. l4.oro pounds of
onions and 5000 pounds of potatoes.
The vegetables are brought in to them
in wagon loads by the farmers and
gardeners. theu sacked and Grated and
sent south. There Is an immense crop
Of cabhaEes in the POudre valley this
fall. estimated at 100 carloads. for
which there would practically have
been no market but for the enterprise
Of GilkiSun ~ Son. They are paying
81 a ton for cabhages loose. and are
Grating them nt their own expense.
1t Is stated that the yield of an acre
Of cabhages runs from ten to twenty

The Future of This Couple MAY He

Eve heard discussion lately as to
who should keep the purse in the mar
riage partnership. Now it would seem
that In that kind of firm there ought
to be fair division. 1t may be that
both are adding to the exchequer, but
whether one or both they should freely
share their united income. Woman

on the subject, only about one man in

OMISSION OF mooRE,s NAME
He Wrote some Objectionable Poems on
America.

Washington. oct. 5.-The recently
discovered omission of Thomas Moore's
name from the roll of poets inscribed
on the walls of the new congressional
library has aroused the Ancient order
of Hibernians in this city, and they are
formulating an appeal to the 100000
other members of the order in this
country to bring pressure upon Con
gress to have the omission rectitied.
Their complaints have developed the
fact that Moore wrote number of bit
ter poems against America while in
this country. and. unlike Dickens and
some other English literary critics, did
not confinc his structures to America
at large. but wrote number OF point
ed. unpleasant and almost unprintable
things about Jefferson. who was at
that time President of the United
States. These poems relating to Amer
lea have hcen collected in a single vol
ume. and ii was upon this showing of
deliberate insult to the then President
Of the United States, the library Off
cial says. that the name of Moore was
omitted from the honor roll of poets.

hour the attorneys for Luetgert an
nounced that the defense had no more
testimony to place before the Jury.
Attorney Phalen Immediately fol-
lowed this announcement with n
motion to take the case away from the
jury on the ground that the prosecu-
tion had decided to prove corpus de-
licti and had consequently not made
out case against the prisoner.
Judge Tuthill overruled the motion
and court wns adjourned until to-mor-
row morning to give the state time to
prepare for its rebuttnl testimony.
