the train will run up to Cheyenne for
few hours, returning by way of Den
yer that night to Colorado Springs.
Thursday and part of Friday the party
will be in Colorado Springs, and in the
course of the visit there n trip will
probably be made to Pixies Peak and
the Garden of the Gods.
The party will leave Colorado
Springs Friday afternoon, making
short stop at Pueblo, and passing the
next day through Junction City, To-
pcka. Lawrence, Baldwin and Ottawa,
Kansas, making brief stops at these
points, and arriving at Kansas City
at about 3 o'clock in the morning.
Sunday. June 9th and the morning
of June 10th. will be spent in Kansas
City. In the afternoon the party will
go to st. Joseph and remain there for
several hours. leaving at $50 p. III. for
Chicago. On the way to Chicago the
following morning. brief stops will be
made at Davenport and Moline, and
the President will visit the arsenal at
Rock Island.
1t is expected the train will reach
Chicago about 2:3O p. m.. and the
President will probably attend n ban
quet there that evening. leaving Mt
night for Buffalo. where he is to visit
the Pan-Amcrican Exposition.
June 18th will be spent at the expo
sition. and late in the afternoon the
party will go to Niagara Falls, remain
ing there the following day, leaving
Friday night at 10 o'clock and return
ing to Washington by way of the Del
aware Water Gap and Philadelphia.
The time set for reaching Washington
is , p. m. June 18th.
The total distance Travelled will be
about 10,5oO miles. crossing twenty
three states and territories, and touch
ing the Gulf of Mexico. the Pacific
ocean and the Great Lakes. Twenty
seven railroads are embraced in the
itinerary. Wherever feasible the state
capitals are visited. Local programs
are arranged covering the cities at
which stops are made A feature of
the trip will be a substitution of drives
for receptions. thus more fully accom-
modating the people than would be pos
sible at Il short reception. The recep-
ton committees will be received Mt the
cities they represent. the various local
committees having cordially co-operat-
ed in this respect, as well as in others,
in an endeavor to make the journey of
the President and his party most en-
joyable and interesting one.
While the president may make short
addresses at several of the large cities,
and at some of the colleges and uni
versities. it is not at all likely he will
make as many speeches as have been
delivered in the course of previous
trips.

ALLEGED ROBBERS DEN
EAST OF LONGMONT

Longmont, Colo. April 13.-Denver
Republican Special.)-A mild attempt
to emulate the prowess of the famous
Jesse James gang has been unearthed
near here, in the opinion Of local Off
GERS, by the arrest of three mysterious
ranchmen, known as kraig, Turvinger
and Townsend. Such is the opinion of
Detective w. II. Reno Of the Colorado

NJ. Basher of Longmont.
The men We're arrested yesterday on
the charge of robbing the railroad
ticket and postoffice at Elbert, and in
cidentally the unsolved burglaries at
the Loveland ticket office and Golden
postofiice are laid to them.
The three men had purchased n
forty-acre ranch about eight miles east
of here. between this town and Platte
vile, where they erected n house and
barn, the latter being always occupied
by well kept saddle horses Numerous
excursions by the mysterious tenants
have been noted, and on several occas-
ions they are said to have absented
themselves for several days at a time.
Strangers were frequent visitors, and
the officers are now looking for another
companion by the name of Cunning
ham, who is thought by the officers to
have been implicated in the recent rob-
berries.
If the ranch was to be used as the
basis for marauding expeditions, its
location was almost ideal. situated MS

One of the striking things shown by
the last census is the remarkable in
crease of tenant farming. The per-
centage of farms operated by tenants
showed a considerable increase by the
census Of 1890. For the whole coun-
try this percentage has increased in
the last ten years nearly twice as fast
as the per cent of population of the ma
ton, four times that of the purely
agricultural population and twice that
of the farms operated by their owners.
