National Guard omesr..

Adj. Gen. Sherman Bell and Col.
James Brown will probably sever
their connection with the National
Guard May 9th. The governor will &C.
cept the resignation of Colonel Brown.
but will urge General Bell to remain at
the head of the state military estab-
lishment.
These are the statements of high
officer of the guard. He adds that the
general will. unless he changes his
mind very soon, refuse to remain In
his present position. and will retire
from public life for the time being. to
accept one of several good offers he
has received from mining companies.
In the letter sent by the two guard
officers to the governor they named
May 9Th as the date on which their
designations were to become effective.
This was done in order that the palms
for the st. Louis trip and the visit Of
President Roosevelt might not be dis
arranged. No action has been taken
by the governor as yet. but he will
probably act within a few days after
his return from the East
Since the announcement that tie
head of the guard intended to relin-
quish the position that he assumed
scores of letters have been received
at the governors office, supporting one
or another Of the numerous applicants
for the position. All of those who ap-
piled before are again in line. and sew
eral new applicants have entered the
lists.-Denver Republican.

A Topeka dispatch says the Kansas
State Live Stock Sanitary Commission
has expressed its complete satisfaction
with the quarantine against many cat
tie from Kansas which has been estab-
lished by the state of Colorado. "Col-
orado has done quite the proper thing
said NJ. c. Campbell. chairman of the
Kansas Commission. Under the pres
ent conditions 1t has been quite i'm
possible for either state to stamp out
the disease. as the ranchmen on both
sides OF the line have been extremely
Indifferent to the spread Of the dis
ease or the matter of dipping their cat
tie. With a quarantine in both Kan
sas and Colorado. we hope to be able
to stamp out the disease. as that is al
most sure to catch all of them. We
expect to have a meeting soon with
the Colorado board in regard to this
matter. The two boards are working
in harmony in regard to the matter.
and the action Of Colorado should not
be regarded III any sense as an act Of
retaliation. Without such action rs
has been taken by both boards, there
was danger of serious trouble from
this source, but with the cooperation
of Colorado we hope to be able to
stamp otft the disease this year. Dip
ping watts will be established all along
the line. both on the railroad and nj
other points. and the regulations will
be strictly enforced"
Floods resulting from the bursting
