Laramie Tunnel, bitches g. Feeders
company. This irrigation project,
which is connected with the so-called
link reservoir enterprise, will
consist in the construction of several
large irrigation bitches, among them
the Rawah, Deadman and Nuncreek
bitches. Water will be carried in
these canals from the Laramie river
to the Poudre, extending over wide
stretch of country. One Of the more

Found Dead in Bed.

Alfred Dixon, an old bachelor
living on a ranch about three miles
west of the city, was found dead in
his house at about 6 o'clock Friday
evening, by Mr.. Sears, a neighbor.
Death evidently came as a result of
prolonged spree in his own house
\ companion who was with him all
this time was still too intoxicated
to know that Dixon was dead and
when Coroner Macy was called out
there. the fellow insisted on getting
to bed with his bunkie. Neighbors
who knew stated that several gallons
of whiskey had been brought to the
house a couple Of weeks ago, and
that the two men had been under
the influence ever since. Friday
morning, Dixon went after Mr.
Sears. and told him he was i'll. At
that time MIR. Sears made the man
as comfortable as he could. He
called in again at o'clock il the
evening and found Dixon dead.
Dixon has a brother in Fort Col
lins and a sister in Philadelphia.

destroying not only the mite but the
eggs. If the experiment is success
full it will be the solution of the scab
problem on the range, for all the
cattle can be dipped and there will
be practically no danger of reinfec-
tion.
An effort will be made to secure a
low freight rate on the Beaumont oil
so that the dip will not be expensive.
The oil is worth only about %
cents per barrel at the wells, and the
balance Of the cost will be the
freight. Dr. Clark hopes to have the
experimental dipping done about the
end of this month or early next
month. The result of the dipping
will be watched with great interest.

ADAMS MAN
EDITOR OF LOVELAND REGIS
TER TURNS FROM PEABODY
Life Long Republican Can Not
Stand for Policy of the
Few before the
Many

The Loveland Register, which has
long been strong republican paper
and whose present editor and proprie
tor, C. Lou Wannamaker, has been
life long republican, in its last issue
comes out strongly against Peabody
and in support of Alva Adams with
the following announcements:
with this issue the Register be-
comes a supporter of the democratic
ticket. The editor has been a life
long republican and the paper still
maintains an independent stand. 1t
is under no obligations to any man
Governor Peabody's reelection is a
great menace to the welfare of the
common people whose champion the
Regiater is, and believing that he is
totally under the thumb of the cor
porationS, Ex-Governor Alva Adams
is brought before the vster with his
endorsement of two past safe, sane
and conservative administration and
the reader is urged to support him
with voice and ballot.
Governor Peabody is no friend of
Colorado,s farming community, its
small and thriving towns and home
owners and business men. He has
thrust a tax upon the state that falls
heavily on the farming industry. 1t
will remain some years and will in
sure that the present assessment will
become no lower.
His reelection means that his
eXtrayagance is endorsed and the
| Mine Owners association and other
| corporations will force Mr.. Peabody
to back them up with his militia in
skilled labor and for a general reduc-
tion of wages throughout the state.
against this the republicans will
say that with everyone working n
good market for farm produce is
created but with everyone working
at bread and water wage, a market
for farm produce will be created with
a price equal to the wages received
by the labOrer.
Heretofore the farmers and fruit
growers of northern Colorado have
received good prices-they will re-
ceive them again when Alva Adams
is elected governor and capital and
labor given equal rights one with the
| other.
Governor Peabody is not a peo-
ple's mamie is of class that
breeds more socialism than all the
arguments that have been ADVANCED
by books and man for a century past.
Teachers of the Golden Rule never
teach socialism. Governor Peabody
is not of the last named and his re-
election would be most regretable
and dangerous.
"Giye us Peace, Prosperity and

party of any particular organization,
and is no more the party of the
Western Federation of Miners than
it is the party of the mine owners
union. The party has always stood
as the particular friend of labor, be-
cause most laboring men are demo-
Gratis. For the twenty years that
the republicans have been in legisla-
tive power, they have not enacted
one law in favor of the laboring men
until the thirteenth general assem-
bly,, when an eight-hour law was
passed that was afterward declared
unconstitutional by the supreme
court.

TO TRY OIL DIPPING
Government to Experiment with
Beaumont Oil.

The bureau of animal industry is
compIetfur arrangements for an eX-

the arenr in charge of the Denver
office of the bureau Of animal indus

through the eastern part of the state
and has commended that the eXper-
imeur br conducted at ClaremOnt in
Kit Carson county, and all the cattle
of the Kit Carson Live Stock associ-
alton will be dipped and held for a
short time in pastures to see the re-
suIts. There is no question but that
the oil will cure the disease. The

where the oil has been used, there
have been no i'll effects and it is be-
loved that the experiment here will

CAME TO GRIEF LAST FRI
DAY IN GREELEY
Important Capture by Watchman
Roseman after Hard Fight
Big Swede's
Work

What will probably prove the
most important capture made here
in many a day by the local police
was made at about 30 Friday after
noon by Assistant Marshal Roseman,
when he captured two men on the U.
p. tracks about midway between here
and Evans. There is little doubt
that these are the two men that
held up four or five persons between
LaSalle and Evans Thursday evening.
Everything was going we'll with
the robbers until a young Swede, a
regular gaint from South Dakota,
came along the railroad track. He
was ordered to throw up his hands at
the point of a revolver. Instead of
complying, he grabbed the gun with
one hand and wrested it from the
robber, and then tackled the two of
them. One quickly had enough and
ran. In a few minutes the other
fellow gave up, but managed to get
away from the Swede.
Before meeting the terrible Swede
the two men had met three Mexi-
cans and promptly held them up
Two of the MeXicans ran. The third
one had a bullet put through his hat
at so close range that it was badly
scorhed. That brought him to, and
he dug up $50 and a ring he wore on
his finger.
The Swede gave his name as Pete
Martins, and in talk and appearance
is a regular Ole OlesOn.
| Just after dinner Marshal Camp re-
ceiyed word that two men answering
the description of the hold-ups were
going toward Evans on the railroad.
He sent Mr.. Roseman out to bring
in the men. Mr.. Roseman took the
| order literally and started out as fast
as he could. On the way he met
Stanley Davis and invited him along
to see the fun. Arriving at the
| railroad they saw two men in the
distance. ROseman then borrowed
bicycle and started out to head OIL the
men. He came out on the track d
snort distance behind the men and
took after them on the wheel he had
borrowed. He caught up with them
quickly and his second command to
stop and put up their hands not be-
| ing complied with, he struck the
larger one of the two over the head
with the butt of his gun and knocked
| him out completely. The smaller
of the two men then stopped and
| gave up. \ great amount of goods
| of various kinds was found on the
men, such as small change, watches,
rings and other jewelry. They also
carried several pairs of pants and an
overcoat that had evidently been
stolen from some store in town here.
The two men were locked up-the
older, who gave his name as Fred
Serraa, in the county Iail, and
the younger, mere boy who gave
his name as Willie Birkle, in the
city cell, where he will remain for
time before being 'sweated." "
Several of those who had been held
put the evening before have appeared
at the City hall to tell what they
knew. among them the young Swede,
and the Mexican. Epigmeuia Sepeda.

MUCH ADO ABOUT DOORS.
From London Iudv.


"A door is not a door when it's ajar,
and adore is not adore when it's a tiff
door is on the jar when it is slight
ly open, and when it creaks it jars
upon ones nerves. A door is on the
curb when it's chain is up.
A door is on the latch when 1t can
be opened by lifting the latter, yet, as
a matter of fact, 1t is the latch which
is on the door.
All inner doors are provided with
keyholes for domestic 70 see through,
and the best way of spelling their
little game is to leave the key in the
door.
Street doors open on to the street
hall doors are of course all doors, al
though partly composed of glass.
Street doors very often have knobs
and knockers, which the nobs OF the
last century used to amuse them
selves by wrenching off, but the nobs
of the present day, instead OF collecting
knockers and bell handles, collect post
age stamps and pictorial post cards.
Street doors are opened from the
outside by latch keys, by those who
have them and are capable of fitting
them into their keyholes; and in the
early hours of the morning they are
sometimes opened from the inside by
the owner of the latchkey, who has a
considerable voice in the matter.
The open door" is political phrase
which everybody knows and nobody
understands; but they read 1t and
write it and use 1t as If they did find
it grateful and comforting, like that
blessed word Mesopotamia.
To fling the doors wide open Is a
sign of welcome, but 1t may also be
taken as a gentle hint to clear out.
To leave the door open is sign of
bad manners; to close it with a bang
is sign of temper; to frequently open
and shut 1t sign of servitude, that
being the duty of turnkey or a door
keeper; to burst 1t open sign of trout
bic OF some sort for somebody.
A person who is out of pocket is gen.
orally out of doors; it is pleasant to
be out of doors when the weather is
fine and you can go indoors IL you want
to; but not to be turned out of doors.
All the sports are carried on out of
doors. except ping-pong, which is not
sport. Outer doors are generally
heavy and very substantially built.
When men who live in rooms close
their outer doors they are said to have
"sported their oak" Bailiffs are not
allowed to break down outer doors

New York Telegram to the Pittsburg

Prof. Garner, the famous Philadel-
phia scientist who talks like a mon
key" has given a valuable hint to a
young woman here who has made
life work of discovering the where
fore Of baby crying. Her name is Miss
Wheeler and she is connected with the
Babies Hospital. The ordinary person
thinks babies are communicative,
but that is because he does not I'M
derstand the tongue. Miss Wheeler
studied the strange, inarticulate
sounds of distress which emanate
from the mouth Of a babe, and was
soon able to build up a language of
her own. To her 1t soon became ap-
parent that the little creatures had
different cries for different ailments,
and this is where Miss Wheeler proved
valuable. She made a study of the
cries, and to-day she can understand
baby language as well as she can that
of grown persons. She can tell at a
glance whether a baby is peevish
through being INDUCED by it's parents,
whether it is hungry or uncomfortable
or really sick. Through her association
with DR.. Holt and other physicians at
the hospital she has become almost as
expert in the scientific diagnosis of dis
eases as they are.
