who filled vacancy on the supreme
bench of this state during the year
1892 and who is generally credited
with being gold Democrat at heart,
though not bolter in 1896.
The platform adopted by the con-
vention Is devoted almost entirely to

The resolutions declare that the de-
struction of boss rule is the supreme
issue. The adoption OF the system
known as the initiative and referen-
dun is demanded.
Another plank favors municipal
ownership of public utilities, subject
to the referendum.

DENVER WINE ROOMS.
Case Will Come Before the United
States Supreme Court.

Washington. Aug. IA case has
been docketed in the United States Su-
preme Court that is intended to test
the right of municipal corporations 10
prohibit the sale of intoxicating LID
uors to women. The case Is that of
Daniel Cronin versus the city of Dem
yer.
Cronin is the owner of n saloon and
opened wine room for women. The
record shows that he asked for an in
junction to restrain the city from en-
forcing an ordinance prohibiting the
maintenance of such place for fs>
males. asserting that the law is uncon-
stitutional because it discriminates
against women, and also because 1t de-
prives him of property without due pro-
cess of law. He contended that he had
as much right to sell liquor to women
as to men, and that they have as much
right to drink as men. He also re-
ferred to the circumstances that equal
suffrage prevails in Colorado, and ar
gued that since women had been given
the right of suffrage they stand on the
same footing in all respects with men.
and hence "are entitled to the pursuit
of happiness and the same rational en-
joyment as their brothers." The Dis
trict Court upheld this contention. but
the finding was overruled by the Slate
Supreme Court.

GREAT TEXAS FLOODS.
Damages Estimated at Fully One Mil
lion Dollars.

Dallas. Texas. Aug. 1.-The only ray
of hope which penetrated the gloom of
the flood situation comes from the
weather reports which predicted fair
skies and the fact that the BraZos riv-
er at Waco is falling again. Railways
are tied up worse than ever before in
the history of the state.
Six lives lost was the total reported
yesterday-five in the San Marcos val
ley and one at Wylie.
An accurate estimate of the losses is
impossible, but with the damage to
railroads, the drowning of live stock,
the washing away of bridges, resi-
dences and business houses, in addi-
tion to the damage to cotton and other
crops. 1t is safe to say that $1,000, 600
will be conservative amount.
The BraZos river, after inundating
rich farming lands for 200 miles south
of Waco, is reported falling steadily at
Waco, but rising showly below
Hearne. 1t was estimated that there
are from 5000 to 1000 acres of cult
waited land under water near Heaane.
A rough estimate of the number of
acres of cotton and other crops prac-
tically ruined In the Brazos bottoms is
10000.

FAILED TO REACH THE POLE.
Baidwn's Dash for the North Pole
Proved Unsuccessful.

Honningsvaag, Norway, Aug. 2.-Ev-
elyn u. Baldwin. the Arctic explorer,
arrived here yesterday. He reported
all his men in good health. and said:
I'VE have been bafiied but not beat
en-. The years work has been success
full in that enormous depots of con-
densed food have been established by
means of sledges, one In Rudolfland
within sight of the italian expedition
headquarters; another in latitude 81
degrees 33 minutes, and thivd at
Kane Lodge, Greely island. These de-
posits. together with houses and stores
left at Camp Zeigler. will afford the
means for u large polar dash in 1908.
All channels through Franz Josetiand
remained blocked with ice during the
autumn of 1901 and prevented the es-
tablishment of depots by steamer last
year.
1.-The breaking up of ice early in June
compelled the use of reserve supplies.
hence the departure from Camp Zeig-
Ter on July LIST in order not to imperil
the expedition. l dispatched fifteen
balloons with 300 messages and in
June l obtained the first moving pic
ture of Arctic life. l also discovered.
Nansens hut, recovering original docu-
ments and securing paintings of the
hut.
Marine collections for the National
Museum, including new charts. etc.
were obtained. In the field work
thirty men, thirty ponies, sixty sledges
and 40 dogs were employed from jan
uary 21st to May 21st, and this severe
work resulted in the destruction of
sledges and depletion of the food for
ponies and dogs, thus rendering our
return imperative. l shall remain at
Tromsoe for week for the repairs to
the Americas rudder and propeller
frame, which were broken by the ice
on the return voyage. The main anchor
was lost during gale in October.
Mr.. Baldwin sailed from Vardoe,
Norway, on July 30, 1901 An auxil-
iary expedition started from vardoe on
July Z, 1902, under command OF VIII
liam Shamp, to go with them.

FORT COLLINS ENTERPRISE.
Business Men viii Build Their Own
Beet Sugar Factory.

Denver, Aug. IA Fort Collins spe-
citl to the News says: The Fort Col
lins business mems sugar factory COM
mittee has been negotiating for the
past three months with the Havemeyer
Sugar Refining Company. These peo-
pie have made bluff at erecting fac
tory here and succeeded in preventing
independent capital from building the
plant. The committee is composed Of
leading capitalists of this city and they
propose to let nothing delay the cree
tion of the factory in time for next
years crop.
+. C. Avery, NJ. C. Afford and f. NJ.
Shaw have been appointed to file incor-
poration papers of the new company.

Inns Sugar Manufacturing Company.
The board of directors will be COM
posed of b. Il. Hottell, J. S. McClelland
and j. S. Brown of Denver. 1t will
be capitalized at S3J0,OOO.
From the ready Investment of money
by local business men in the Penoyar
factory few months ago there is lit
tie doubt that most Of the money that
goes into the new venture will be Fort
Collins money. The new company has
five-year contracts for 1000 acres of
beets In this vicinity. The site will be
selected and construction work begun
without delay.
About five months ago an agreement
was entered into between the Penoyar
Brothers of Bay City. Michigan, and
Fort Collins business men for the erec-
tion of a $GOO,OOO plant. The Penoy-
ars and all concerned were scared by
threats of the Havemeyer Sugar Rein
ing Company and agreed to let them
erect the factory. They purchased n
site north Of town three months ago
for $4,000, but since that time have
not made any attempt to start building
the factory. Fort Collins has decided
that nothing but sugar factory will
do and intends to have one II she has
