Of 1898, which was enacted to proven
the repetition of Republican frauds in
certain districts of the State, and which
was marked improvement upon the
then existing law, but which has not
proved sufficient for that purpose, be
amended so as to secure this end so tho
roughly that the most hypercritical can
find no excuse for charging fraud or un,

any election.
Until such amendments can be enact

BAND FROM The ROCKIES.
One Of the Greatest Musical 0rganiza-
tiona Extant.

The Famous Cowboy band is
yet a novelty in this country. The
music learned under the inspiring
peaks has thrilled countless thons-
ands, and will entrance many
thousands more ere it ceases to
exist. The best and only cowboy
band in the world is with Buck
skin Bill and will be- here Aug, 3
to cheer the hearts of the thous-
ands of visitors who will come.
In addition Buckskin Bill has n
military band, a female rough
riders band and two other bands,
all equal to the best to be found
anywhere. The divine passion
was planted IN these musicians by
nature and many of them acquired
their art around the campfire after
nightful, on the great western
plains. Their costumes render
them extremely picturesque. and
they embellish beyond description
the greatest parade ever given the
public. The Cowboys are { i 'ected
by Prof. Harry Creigler, OF New
Mexico.

AT no stage of the game do those
on trial charged with the murder
of Gov. Goebel show any disposi-
ton to establish their own inno-
cence by endeavoring to point out
the author of the crime. The pub
lie grounds, buildings, and the
horde of armed mountaineers were
all in their charge, and if the men
charged with the crime are inno-
cent they could best establish their
innocence and exculpate them
selves by assisting the common
wealth in probing the mystery.
