MAKE ANOTHER EFFORT.
Petitions Again Out to Pave South
Kansas Avenue.

A petition is now being prepared by
the residents on the south end of Kan
SaS avenue for brick pavement 80
feet wide from Tenth to Thirteenth;
and a 50-foot pavement, exclusive of
car tracks, from Thirteenth to $50 feet
south of the south line of Fourteenth.
The petition may come UP at the next
meeting of the council.
A deal is said to be in progress by
which the pavement will be continued
to Fifteenth street. At the present
time it is blocked by d. N. Cornelius,
who lives at 1415 Kansas avenue. And
Mr.. Cornelius can not be claSsed as an
obstructionist for blocking the game,
either.
Mr.. Cornelius owns an east frontage
of about 400 feet between a point $50
teenth street. But the frontage is
about all he does own. The land is
simply a long triangle formed by the
intersection of the old and new sur
veys Orchard Place, the newly opened
addition, adjoins Mr.. Cornelius land on
the west. Jackson street stops at Four
teenth, so Mr. Cornelius land simply
a lot of Orchard Place land.
Mr.. Cornelius and the Orchard Place
owners are arranging q deal by which
Mr. Cornelius land will be added to the
Orchard Place plat, and Mr.. Cornelius
will be given several lots $50 feet deep,
made partially out of his present hold
1ngs and partly out of Orchard Place
land. In exchange he will give some of
his triangular frontage" By this ex-
possession of something besides a street
front, and the pavement tax can be
equitably distributed through to Fiji
tenth street.

RUSSIA HOLDS ALOOF.
Doesn't Entirely Approve of French
Naval Demonstration

New York. Nov. THE Vienna cor
respondent of the London Times and
the New York Times says we'll inform
ed circles in the Australian capital are
a shade less confident than the press
on a favorable issue of the French ma
val demonstration against Turkey.
1t is believed Russian has not been
consulted by France in regard to the
step now taken by the latter country
and there is an impression that St
Petersburg does not approve it unre-
servedly. The Russians at first pooh
hooed the French grievances but M.
Constans, the French ambassador TO
the porte did not allow even Russian
interests to be considered before the
interest of France.
The correspondent remarks that the

has been reduced since the initiation OF
the F'ranco-R Russian alliance, may now
be restored by Frances unaided eff

New York, Jan. Major Ciccodicola,
an italian official residing in the capital
of Abyssinia, who is now in Rome has.
says the Rome correspondent of the
London Times and the New York Times,

even between all the nations and TO
satisfy the demands of all so far as is
compatible with the maintenance OF

long period of civil war The transporta-

Major Ciccodicola considers the Abys-

been coined by Menelik but the standard
currency still includes salt bars and

FROM DENVER PAPERS.
What They Said About Washburn-
ID. w. c. Football Game.

The Denver Republican of Wednesday
says:
AN eminent jurist once advised a
struggling attorney to the effect that
when your own case is weak it is an
excellent plan to abuse your adver-
sary's attorney. The sentiment was
suggested forcibly at Broadway park
yesterday afternoon, when the Wash
burn (Ixansas) football team, after five
minutes play in the second half of d
very One-sided game, refused to con-
tinue because the umpire refused to dis
qualify one of the Denver Wheel clubs
players. The direct accusation was that
Brandenburg, left tackle for the D. W.
c., had deliberately jumped on Captain
Gill of the Washburn team, who lay
PROSTATE, almost breaking Gill's shout
ders- The Washburn men demanded
that Umpire Connolly rule Brandenburg
off the field. The umpire refused to do
this, and after five minutes of wrang-
ling the Washburn men left the field
and forfeited the game.
Both sides had been guilty of hold
ing and rough play throughout the
game, but no more than is to be seen
in most games, and the accusation
against Brandenburg, who is the least
aggressive of the Denver Wheel club
eleven, was rather ludicrous. Gill
tackled Walker and threw him heavily
to the ground and fell on him. Then
Brandenburg, rushing on the PROSTATE
mass, augmented by other players, fell
upon Gill. The game had been so ire
mendcuSly one-sided up to that time
that the action of the Washburn play
ers in withdrawing from the field gave
it the appearance of seeking to avoid
overwhelming defeat.
Yesterdays football game was dis
appointing in more ways than one so
far as the Wheel club is concerned.
The WaShburn team came to Denver
on a guarantee from the Wheel club
and the Athletic club that its expenses
would be divided between the local
clubs the Washburn eleven to depend
on a percentage of the admissions as
additional remuneration. The expenses
of the team were just $500. About $500
people attended the d. A. @. game last
Saturday, so the Washburn eleven re-
ceived several hundred dollars. At the
d. w. c. game the gate receipts were
but $780, so the Wheel club had to make
up the extra $50 from their own pock-
cts. The Washburn team left for To-
peka last night"

AFTER AMERICAN COAL.
Labor Troubles in Wales Brings For
eign Orders to United States.

New York, Nov. There has been
a marked increase recently in foreign
orders for American coal, particularly
from Germany, says the Journal of
Commerce. The increased demand
abroad is said to be due largely to
labor troubles in Wales and France,
from these countries. At the same time
low ocean freights and comparatively
light exports of grain from this country
have enabled anthracite interests here
to take advantage of the situation
abroad. Representative coal dealers at
Berlin, Baron Hoecke, Gustav Schulze
and p. A Hanckow, are now in this
country. They have inspected the Penn
sylvania anthracite coal fields, and as
result of their visit several fairly
large orders have been placed. Some
of these orders have already been filled
and others are about to be shipped A

concerning these German orders, that

HEAD OF THE HERD.
Selection of a Bull Is a Matter of Par
amount Importance to Dairy
men and Stockmen.

There are three points which should
have special attention in the selection
of bull, viz, breed, pedigree and in
dividual merit. Probably there is no
absolutely best breed. Some breeds are
much better than others for some pur-
poses, while along different, and per-
haps equally important lines, they are
decidedly inferior. If COWS are wanted
for dairy purposes, a bull from one OF
the recognized dairy breeds should be
selected. Any other choice will be
sure to result in disappointment and
loss. The man who is engaged in the
production of beef would find a bull
from dairy breed most Improbable
selection. He should have bull from
one of the breeds most noted for beef.
The climatic conditions, character of
the pastures in which the stock is to be
kept, and methods of feeding which
are followed, ought also to be care

Making the Most of Cream.

If you want to get all the cream
and what dairyman doesn't?-there
are certain things that must be done
to the milk. Whether you use a sep
arator, deep setting or shallow set
ting, the milk fat must be started on
it's Dreaming way as soon as posi-
BILE after it comes from the cow, and
before it begins too lose it's animal
heat. If you let part of the milk get
cold before running it through the
separator the chances are that the
skim milk will contain more of the
butter fat than is profitable, and yet
the average dairyman will let it go
rather than run the skim milk
through the separator second time.
Separating at once while the milk
is warm saves both time and butter
