The Rockford Register is of the opin-
ion that "one of the very practicable
and sensible bills introduced during the
present session of the state legislature
is that by Representative Furry. of Al
den, which provides for a state board
whose business it shall be to annually
examine county treasurers' books"

ELECTION RE1S.

The backwardness of election bet
ting in Denver is quite noticeable
The Post of Saturday gives a list OF
bets posted at the Colendar which in.
dicates the Democrats are not conf
dent of winning out. 1t will be OBJ
served that bets are offered and not
taken that Peabody will have a ma.
lority in the state outside of Arapa-
hoe county, but bettors are counting
on the fraudulent vote being large
enough to elect Stimson. Considering
the fact that Democracy is making
such wonderful claims, along with the
fact that the party has had clear sail
ing for some years, the betting indi-
Gates the defeat of the dominant par
ty. or the odds and better propositions
would be offered. The Post says /:
Betting on the result of the election
will. it is expected grow brisk during
the coming week. AS yet, however,
little money has been put up in Den
yer, though the bets offered are num-
erous and attractive. The wagers
posted at the Collender today were:
5000 to $3.50 Peabody not elected
$50 to $25 Teller will be elected
United States senator
$50 to $25 Peabody carries El Paso
county.
$50 to $50 Peabody carries Pueblo
$50 to s25 Stimson carries Arapahoe
county.
$50 to $40 Stimson carries Teller
county.
$50 to s25 Shafroth is elected.
800 to s75 Bell is elected.
$40 to $50 Stimson doesn't carry
Lake county.
500 to 500 Stimson carries Arapa-
hoe by 5000 majority.
s25 to s25 Peabody gets more votes
in the state than Stimson outside of
Arapahoe county.
$50 to $50 Peabody carries Boulder
county.
$3.50 to 5000 Stimson not elected.
s25 even Adams will carry Pueblo
county.
$50 even Stimson does not carry
more counties than Peabody in the
state.
800 to $50 Stimson will be elected.
$50 even Peabody carries Weld
county.
$50 even Adams, Bell and Shafroth
will be elected.
S25 even Shafroth carries Boulder
county.

soon as enough boys enroll to make a
good class. He will also have charge
OF cavalry troop at Cortez.
Complaint has been made out for

young miscreants will be brought up
before Judge Houx for trial as soon as
the arrests can be made. The officers
