1t is argued-or rather it is stat
ed, for there is no argument about
it-that the Republican ticket will
win or fail according to how the
election goes for governor. 1t is
claimed that if Rose is elected the
Legislature will be Democratic and
Spooner will get left. There are a
good many people who cannot see
it that way, but they can "see the
point" in the claim.

Gently. I'VE plant our little virtues
in some warm, soft soil, some at
mosphere of comfort where they are
sheltered from storm and stress,
and they grow into dollhouse luxu-
rance and beauty. We never doubt
their vigor or genuineness until
something deprives them of their
shelter and leaves them where the
blasts of trial beat upon them.
II thought myself a strong, reas-
enable, se1f-controlled woman, just
and tolerant toward others, sweet
tempered and unselfish. Oh, no,
never said so, of course, but that
was the estimate of my friends, and
l secretly accepted it. There was
little trouble in living up to it in the
dear home atmosphere of love and
appreciation.
But when a sudden change came
to my life, when | was where half
yelled distrust took the place of the
old, tender loyalty, where petty jeal-
ousies and clashing interests made
themselves felt, and many things
that had long been considered mine
of right were called in question,

there was deal of bitterness, NOR

The British Medical Temperance
Association was founded in London,
England, March 80, 1876. There
are now several associations Of this
kind. We have one in this country
with such men as Drs. N. S. Davis,
j. H. Kellogg and D. T. Crathers at
it's head, ably assisted by scores of
others. If the physicians of this
country would devote little time
studying the results of work done
by these men they would not pre-
scribe liquor as they do. These
medical temperance associations
are not in any sense a political or
temperance society. Their object is
to study scientifically the action of
alcohol in the same line as any drug
is studied, and in this manner be
able to give it it's true value in med
icine. Any one interested in the re-
suits obtained can obtain valuable

Indigestion is often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use Of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-

which some people suffer after meals.

One of the most destructive fires
in the history of this city occurred
here last night when the entire
business portion of the city was
totally destroyed. The fire con-
suEed the two banks, two large
hotels and about twelve of the
most important business houses.

Crown Prince Twenty Years Old

Berlin, May 6-There WAS a gala
time at Potsdam today in celebra-
tion of the twentieth birthday of
the Crown Prince of Germany,
Frederick William. Congratula-
tions were received at the palace
from all parts of the empire and
from the various courts of Europe.
Gossip says that an announcement
may be expected soon of the en-
gagement of the Crown Prince to
Princes Alice of Albany. The re-
port probably owes its origin to the
recent visit paid by Princes Alice
to Potsdam. 1t would cause no
surprise, however, if the report
proved true for Friedrich Williams
fondness for the young English
princess has been subject of re-
mark ever since he paid his visit
to England two years ago.
The two are about the same age,
Princess Alice having celebrated
her nineteenth birthday last month.
She is the daughter of the Duchess
of Albany, widow of the Duke of
Albany, son of the late Queen
Victoria He died March 2S, 1881,
The Duchess is a daughter of the
late Prince George of Waldeck.
Princess Alice has the reputation
of being most sympathetic and
sweet-natured girl and is a great
favorite with her aunt, Queen
Emma, of Holland.

Oil Notes.

j Wallace, general manager of
the United Oil company, is down
from Denver and will spend the
week in looking over the field.
Mr.. Wallace is very enthusiastic
in regards to the future of the local
field and believes that more new
wells will be opened up in the
next year than there has been be-
fore in corresponding time.
Things are a little quiet at present

organized in outside towns which
will materially assist in develop
ing the field in a systematic man

duction is about 100 barrels per
diem. This well was drilled about
eight years ago and quite body
of oil was opened which, after
proving producer for years,
played out and the company put it
deeper and opened up another
stratum at a depth of 2,765 feet.
Reports from the well today are
very encouraging and the company
is well satisfied with the results.
This proves that greater depth
is all that is necessary in this field
to insure a company of more oil
when pumping well has ex-
hausted itself, and it will no longer
be necessary to move derrick
from one part of the field to
another and it is believed that
several of the oil companies will
hereafter put an exhausted well to
another stratum.
A letter received here from
driller in the Boulder field last
evening says that the oil boom is
off there and that there are hun
dreds of disappointed Boulderites.
Many of the drillers who are en-
ployed there are disguised because
they cannot drill into oil, and the
result is that many of them are
