Beers and Colorado.

Colorado wants the Beers as settlers
and offers to give them 100000 acres
in the valley of the river Platte. The
broad. level plains along the Platte, the
general character of the country, and
the comparative thinness of population
in that part of Colorado would make
the proffered territory almost a repro
duction of the Transvaal veldt. and the
Platte district, perhaps, would be the
most suitable home which the Beers
could find in any portion OF this coun-
try. Colorado and Krueger's people
would alike be gamers could the plan
be carried out, while the British con-
ouerors would be relieved of a multi
tude of pugnacious and unwilling SUP

LET HIM OFF EASY.
Lawless Had Three DRINKS Rolled
into One.

Frank Lawless was up before Judge
Wilcox yesterday with three charges of
drunk" to answer for. He started in
on Monday to get drunk and succeeded
so well that be was arrested. He was
released soon after his arrest, and
on appearing in the police court for
trial Tuesday morning was so drunk
that he was ordered into custody again.
He was released later in the day after
he had sobered up, and in the evening
was arrested again for being drunk.
The Judge fined him the usual amount
on the first charge, but as he had ne
evidence that clearly demarked the
end of the first drunk from the begin
ming of the second one he rolled the
two into one, as he said the defendant
had in all probability done. On the
third charge the same fine as ON the
first charge was imposed, so that Law
less got rid of Sc worth of drunk
charges for 81.

AcoUsRRDuoAroa OF FRAUD.



Des Moines, Dec. 30.-City Superin-
tendent George ]. Miller, of Boone,was
the central figure in an unusual scene
at the closing session of the forty-fifth
annual meeting of the Iowa state
teachers association yesterday after
noon. Miller was teller in the meet
ing of the primary and graded depart-
ments Thursday. when three members
of the nominating committee of twelve
were elected. Afterwards Miller was
named as first vice president in the
nominating committee. When the gem
eral convention came to ratify the ac-
ton yesterday Superintendent George
Chandler. of Usage, protested against
the election of Miller, charging him
openly with fraud.
He said that Miller falsifed the re-
port of the vote in his section, placing
men on the nominating committee who
had not been chosen, and thus insuring
to himself the nomination for the vice
presidency,
Each of the four departments of the
association had three men on the COM
mittee and Miller's friends secured a
unanimous vote for him. Miss Wright,
of Boone, was Miller's one defender in
the meeting. Miller himself was alb
sent. After a two hours discussion he
was elected. tft9s

Des Moines, Dec. 30.-One of the
most interesting developments of the
week was the announcement of Hon.

that he will support Gear and Bowen.
Mr.. Cow had been widely heralded

young member from Kossuth has a

acting In this matter. When he ar
rived at decision, he let the public
know what his purposes are.
The developments of the past week
have substantiated all the claims pre-

for speaker went home today to spend
New Years, and the several headquar-
tiers will be quiet until next Tuesday
when the ball will open again with
