COLORADO'S CAPITAL.

The Colorado Humane Society has
just added n number of names to its
list of agents over the state. Those
who make application for membership
in the society are usually persons who
have witnessed some acts of cruelty to
animals or children. Agents of the So
cicty are taken from all classes and
many of them are well known business
men, who have humane instincts and
have pity for children and dumb ami
mails that are abused. The following
are those who have just been appoint
cd ]. l.. Mayer, Fort Garland; 5. NJ.
Brugh, Grow; $. G. Wharton, Crcstone;
Thomas holland, Saguachc, and Rob
crt NJ. Colder +. $. Nichols, J. Il.
Flanagan, Miss Mae De France, all of
Denver.
At Denver on the 10th instant Judge
Mullins of the District Court issued
nm injunction restraining Receiver IL.
l.. Doherty of the Denver Gas and
Electric Company from carrying out
any orders of Judge Bailey of the Dis
trict Court Of Fremont county. in ad-
vancing rates charged by the company
in Denver for electricity. The injunc-
tion was n great surprise TO attorneys,
as it marks a departure from the prac-
ticc heretofore prevailing in the courts
sets aside the order of another court
before the order is issued. In Arapa-
hoe county, eases have arisen in which
one of the five Judges of the District
Court has issued orders contrary to
those OF another judge in the same
district but the action of one court
cnjolning the judge of an outside dis
trict is Il novel feature in Colorado
practice. The result will be noted
with some Interest. regardless of the
merits of the original case.
Notice has been received at army
headquarters in Denver that the War
Department has adopted new rcguln-
'tiouS in regard TO stationing military
officers nt colleges for the purpose of
providing military instruction to stu
dents. Beginning this fall each of the
colleges where an officer Is located
must guarantee that at least 100 stu
dents will take advantage of the drills.
II an institution cannot turn ont that
number, the military instructor Will.
he withdrawn. 1t is also proposed 10
detail officers for two years AT Il spCci-
fled Institution for this service, and
regular Inspections viii lie mad" by
officers sent out by the War Depart
mcnt for the purpose. If the inspector
reports uuflYOrHhly, the college Is lia-
bic to lose its priyilrg" Of instruction in
war tactics by regular officer of the
United States army. II is expected
that the now regulation viii greatly as
sist In advancing the interests of col.
icgoS and studonls. The Colorado state
Agricultural College is the only insti-
tuition in the state that systematically
maintains an organization up to the
standard required hy the War Depart
mCut. The college usually lines up 300
young men In uniform. and since the
opening Of the war with Spain, when
regular army officers were called away
from the colleges the Institution has
paid a salary to its military Instructor,
who is a graduate of the college. 1t is
claimed by friends Of the institution
that if the War Department would
recognize wcll-traiuCd students Of the
colleges for commissions WnCu -rvat
emergency exists, as ut the outbreak
of the Spanish war, young mon would
he greatly encouraged to undergo the
military discipline. As it WAS, how
ever, although several competent
young men were warmly recommended
to the War Department from Fort Col
lins. the department turned them down
for political favoritcs, who had never
carried II gun and who knew nothing
of the practical movements of the
trained soldier.
