cepted by unanimous vote. The res

convention concluded last evening In
two days it got through large amount
of controversial work and emerged, to

told on the witness stand the story of
the killing of the late Governor Goebel.

at Governor Taylor's dictation.
Youtsey said he took Howard INTO
Caleb Powers Office, which had been
especially arranged for the shooting.
He showed Howard the Marlin rifle,
the bullets and the window from which
the shooting was to be done. He said
Howard asked what he was to get for
the shooting.
What do you want for it," Youtsey
said he asked. and Howard said he
wanted pardon for killing George
Baker. Il told him he could have that
and more, too" said Youtsey.
About that time" said the witness.

ed him out to Howard and then ran
from the room. AS disappeared from
the steps to the basement | heard the
crack OF Howard's rifle"
Il stayed in the office OF Assistant

for few moments and saw Matthews
break open Caleb Powers office and
find the guns that had been left there"

ing:
This was the day for agreeing on
the amendments to the land bill which
are considered essential. Most of these
were proposed by William O'Brien.
They covered several important ques-
tions, including demands for more lib
eral treatment of the congested dis
tricts and of the laborers
THE proceedings were extremely
harmonious. There was an animated
but good-humored discussion of the re-
tentiOn of an eighth of a cent as rent
charge. proposed by Mr.. Davitt and
myself. the former representing views
in favor of the naturalization of the
land. while l put forward those of
peasant proprietary. Ultimately res
olution was adopted condemning the
eighth. but retaining a technical rent
charge"
One of tie most important amend
ments was that proposed by Michael
Davitt, that the principle of the Ameri-
can homestead law be added to the
land bill. to Safeguard the peasants
from the results of improvident bor-
rowing and the operation of land grab
bers and land jobbers."

WANT POSTOFFICE
INVESTIGATION

Washington. April 1S.-The indica-
uons are that organized labor will be-
come party to the affairs in the Post
Office Department. A special commit
tee of the Central Labor Union of this
city which has been secretly investi-
eating the matter. has formulated
charges of favoritism. incompetency,
etc. against certain of the mail equip
ment department of the division.
The charges. which probably will be
filed tomorrow with the postmaster
general. allege that the mail bags that
do not conform to the specifications
have been accepted by the chief of the
division, Col. Thomas P. Graham. Other
charges allege. among other things.
that worthy and needy white woman
Is Disseminated against in favor Of a
negro woman employe there; that the
forewoman Of the sewing room used Of
fensive language toward her subordi-
mates; that when the machine operat-
ors were reduced from So per diem to
sl.15 per diem. the salaries of the su-
perintendent and some of the other Off
GERS were increased from $3.50 to $500
per annum; that the suspension of one
clerk was Illegal and of another un-
just; that engineers are worked over
tlme without compensation; that the
foreman of the lockshop is not lock-
maker, and that recommendations for
promotion are not based on merit.
Postmaster General Payne said he
thought it was the duty Of newspapers
that acquire evidence Of improper ac-
tions OF persons in the service to fur
nish it to the department, and aid in
the investigation now in progress.

peatedly violated the agreements and
have permitted their sheep to cross the
boundary lines and in many instances
eat off the grass in sight OF the ranches
of the cattlemen. The latter have re-
sorted to force frequently. and the
murder OF several herders and the
slaughter Of thousands of sheep has
resulted.
Last fall the focks of Leonard Sedg-
wick. the Cheyenne boy who made a
fortune in the klondike. were at
tackled near New Fork and over 1000
were slaughtered. the camp wagon and
supplies were burned and the Mexican
herder murdered Mounted men wear
ing masks over their faces did the
work. and although weak effort was
made by the authorities to learn the
names of the raiders. nothing ever
came of the matter. The raid had the
desired result. so far as the cattlemen
were concerned. however. for reports
from the New Fork country say that no
sheep have crossed the dead line since
then.
The scene of the impending trouble
is south and east of the New Fork
country, which is due west OF Lander.

COLONEL RESIGN

Denver. April l9.-Adjutant General
the National Guard have given to the
governor their conditional resigna-
tions. Both officers took this action
Thursday the day the executive left
for the East. Neither of the officers
will discuss the affair. Other officers of
the guard deny that they contemplate
q similar course.
Dissatisfaction with many acts Of the
governor is said to be the direct cause
OF the action. Criticisms to which
both officers have been subjected as
the result OF the calling out of troops
for the strike at Colorado City and for
other official acts is said 10 have had an
influence in causing them 10 act.
The designations as they went to the
governor were 10 become effective

tive contained those who directed il
to him will not say. They state it is

governor,
Both Gen. Bell and Col. Brown spent
yesterday at Colorado Springs. They
returned last night to find that their
designations had been publicly an
nounced. After dinner at the Brown
Palace they made formal statement
that fails to make clear the situation.
Each said he would say nothing more
than is contained in this statement.
Regarding the designations they say:
I'VE are at considerable loss TO un-
derstand upon what authority the
statement is based. II is not said that
1t is made upon any authority ema-
mating from the governor or his office.

The apple is such a common fruit
that very few persons are familiar with
its remarkably efticacious medicinal
properties. Everybody ought to know
that the very best thing they can do is
TO eat apples just before retiring for
the night. Persons uninitiated in the
mysteries of fruit are liable to throw
up their hands in horror at the visions
of dyspepsia which such a suggestion
may summon up. but no harm can
come even to delicate system by the
eating OF ripe and juicy apples just be
fore going to bed. The apple is ex-
cellent brain food because it has more
phosphoric acid in easily digested
shape than other fruits. 1t excites the
action of the liver. promotes sound and
healthy sleep. and thoroughly disin-
fects the mouth. This is not all. The
apple helps the kidney secretions and
prevents calculus growths. while it OBJ
viates Indigestion and is one of the best
known preventives of diseases of the
throat. Everybody should be familiar
with such Observation-Disclosures OF
Pharmacy.
