Dual Organ

DENVER, Col, Jan. 19.-The Republican
rado Legislature to-day unseated six Demo-
cratic members from Arapaho county, thus
securing a majority of two on joint ballot.
The Democrats had .majorities on the face
of the returns ranging from $500 to 1000.
but the Republicans claimed these were
fraudulently obtained. The Democrats
claimed that five hundred would be lib
eral allowance of the fraudulent votes cast
in this city.
Late this afternoon the Democratic Sem
ate began its work OF retaliation and dual
body resulted. When tbs Senate took up
the contest cases the elections committee
reported on those where Democratic seats
are being contested by Republicans in ia
vor of the Democrats. Lieutenant Governor
Haggett refused to recognize the Demo-
Gratis but recognized the Republicans. A
minority report from the elections committee
was submitted, which unseated the follow
ing Democrats: Bunckley, Ballinger, Hill.
Kennedy, Hallett and all of the Arapahoe
county senators. In their places the fol-
lowing were given seats by the report OF
the minority: Galloway, Montgomery,
Il
Arapahoe Republican contestants. The
minority report was declared adopted by
Lieutenant Governor Haggett.
After two hours of vain effort TO be rec
ognized by the chair, the Democrats de-
clared the Lieutenant Governor disqualified
TO further preside over the Senate, under
a provision of the Constitution, which,
they say, disqualified the Lieutenant Gov

and President Pro Tenn. w. III. Adams as
sumed control of the gavel, remaining,
however in his own seat. He recognized
the Democrats, and they submitted a
port on all cases where Republicans are
contesting the seats of Democrats. deciding
in favor of the latter, which was declared
adopted. Then q move TO compromise mat
ters was started and conference commit
tee appointed. This committee retired to
consider a proposition of the Democrats
to call off all contests providing the Re-
mally upon election of United States sem
ator, but without making cnoice, thus al
lowing the seat to remain vacant for two
years, until the next meeting of the
Legislature.
Two separate senatorial bodies are now
Governor Haggett and composed of nine
teen Republicans a majority, and another
presided over by President Pro Tenn. w.
III. Adams, a Democrat, and made up of
Democrats. The latter have unseated two
more Republicans, Messrs. Deck and Nc
Donald.
About fifty deputy sheriffs are stationed
outside the Senate chamber, and they are
said to be adherents of the Democrats. 1t
was rumored that Lieutenant Governor
Haggett had telephoned Governor Peabody
for troops. This the Lieutenant Governor
denies. The doors leading into the Senate
chamber and galleries are locked, and no
one Is allowed to pass in or out.

Rabbits as AcrObats.

The rat is, as no one will doubt, a
very fair climber. He can scamper
about anywhere on the roof of a barn
or can ascend the ivy that grows on
the house wall and make the lives of
the pigeons in their cots anything lut
happy ones. The rabbit. on the other
hand, is not usually accounted a climb
ing animal. \ writer in Field describes
the astonishmcnt of his sisters at see
ing rabbit jump from the bough of a
tree and, picking himself up, ''scampcr
off rather dazed to his warren Wher-
ever a rabbit is found in a tree except
when he is carried there by flood or
left there by receding snowdrift, it
will be found that a sloping bank or
other easy method of approach has
been made use Of. He is, however, very
expert at climbing stone walls that
bound his fields and even the wire net
ting that the farmer vainly imagines
will keep him from the choicest crops.
We have seen rabbits run up the face
OF quarry to their holes toward the
top, a feat which we have not found it
easy to initiate.

To the Practical Corn Breeder.

To the practical corn breeder l urge
only three things: First, adopt the row
system. plant twenty-five to fifty good
seed ears, one ear to row, then select
your seed for the next year on the
basis of performance record from
about ten rows which produce the
highest yield and the best ears Second,
breed corr for a purpose. If you wish
to feed corn. breed and grow high pro-
tein corn. If you wish to grow corn
for starch and glucose factories, breed
and grow the corn the factory wants.
Third, until we have more facts don't
devote too much time in trying to pro-
duce kernels on the tip end of the cob
or in trying to reduce the size of the
cob or in trying to make the tip end Of
the ear as large as the butt or in pull
ing out suckers or in doing other things

known. 1t is not vet known with any
degree of certainty whether those
things are beneficial. injurious or with
