POPULIST FIXERS.
Here Today to Discuss Reorgan-
ization of Their Party.

The Populist state central committee
meets in Topeka this afternoon, after the
arrival of the later trains, to discuss
ways and means of continuing the WORK
of organization and agitation during the
next two years.
The committee has maintained head
quarters in this city, since the election,
with Secretary J. H Curran in charge
This meeting is to outline the work
which Mr.. Curran shall do.
There promises to be considerable dis
cussions in the committee meeting over
the policies of the future.
c. B. Hoffman, Mrs Annie L. Diggs
and others have been agitating the reor-
g9aization of the party Incorporating in
70 its platform and policies ideas more
on a socialistic line than has heretofore
been adhered to-
John w. Breidentha1. the defeated can
didate Tor governor, although having re-
fused to talk for publication, has been
busy writing letters endorsing the Hoff-
man plan Mr.. Breidenthal has not
acted publicly because he is particularly
grateful to the Democrats for making
him the nominee for governor
Today the plans are likely to be made
to avoid fusion deals in Kansas, provid-
ed the socialstic element can control the
COMMITTEES.

some distance from him, directly in

We had nearly finished supper when
I noticed that Spider was not there It
was so unusual for him to absent him
self from meal that went in search
of him, fearing that something might
be wrong. It was some time before
could find him in the darkness; but,
hearing an odd sound from behind my
tent, I followed it.. With his arms
thrown around the neck of the horse

was sobbing as though his heart would
break: l stood still for a moment, sur
prised. He had not heard ME, and
knew that he would be terribly morti-
fed should he find that had been a
witness Of his weakness, so coughed in
discreet manner to warn him of my
approach. The effect was instantaneous.
Spider Strengthened up Immediately and
began to hum little tune to himself,
while the horse looked around at him
with an expression of mild surprise at
his sudden change of mood. =
I asked him why he did not come to

AYLESWORTH ON BAKER.

DR.. Barton o. Aylesworth, the eloquent
and able president of the Agricultural
college, m ade an address before the Col.
orado Editorial Association meeting at
Ouray, few days ago, full Of wisdom
and good sense. Among other things
Or. Aylesworth urged editors to speak
for a greater Colorado. OF special inter.
est to Boulder people will be found the
following meaning sentence:
"Our state university, presided over
by as great an educational giant as
America affords, an institution ranking
fifth among the state universities of our
land, must not be allowed to beg like a
pauper at the states back door for a
crust"
Those are significant words, but their
chief significance lies in the utter alb
sence of jealousy between heads of our
state institutions as developed in DR..
Ayle iwo,,h's praise of DR.. Baker and Of
an institution which, like the agricultural
college, stands always in need of the
states financial support.
