Judge Pounds Master stroke.

w. II. Pound, district attorney for
the Thirteenth judicial district, is es-
tabishing reputation as one OF the
shrewdest lawyers in Colorado, by the
manner in which he is conducting the
prosecution in the Meenan murder
trial at Akron. In the preparation OF
his case MIR. Pound has taken great
pains. and in the conduct OF the case
since the trial was commenced three
weeks ago he has shown mastery abill-
ty. One instance might be cited to
show the correctness o! this statement
When it became evident one day last
week that there was a possibility that
no jury could be secured in the case,
and that in consequence the defend
ants would go free, the prosecution,
repr sented by Mr.. Pound. waived the
right TO challenge jurors and accepted
those already in the box. This shrewd
move by the prosecution forced the
attorneys for the defense to select q
jury before the last venire had been
exhausted. An attorney less alert
than Mr.. Pound would probably not
have made this master stroke, and the
case would have come to an end be-
cause no jury could be secured in the
county in which the crime was COM
mitted. All OF which goes to prove
that our district attorney is a lawyer
OF ability and that he is qualified tc
match wits with the best legal lights
in the state.

ness men was held in the county

many that such effort should be made
and motion prevailed that commit
tee of three be appointed by the chair
man to solicit members. Chairman
McNew appointed upon this commit
tee G. NJ. Braxtan, E. F. Clayton and
J. X. Macpherson, who had prepared
the articles Of association aud by

tion was perfected by the adoption of

Of electing officers, appointing stand,
ing committees, and transacting other

Sad Ending of Useful Life.

Mrs. c. A. SorensOn died at her
home in Juesburg last Saturday
morning in childbirth. Funeral SER
vices were conducted Sunday after
noon in the Congregational church by
Rev. Vim. Clews, pastor Of the church;
interment was in the Julesburg ceme-
terry.
Mrs. Sorenson was thirty four years
OF aye and had been married eight
years. She is survived by her hns.
band and her fve-ycar old daughter,
Marie. With her husband she had
resided in this vicinity for several
years, and had large circle OF friends
who mourn her death.
The sentiments Of the entire com
munity are well expressed in the fol
lowing lines written by Rev. VIM.
Clews, pastor OF the Congregational
church, of which Mrs. Sorenson was a
consistent, faithful member:
II think will be giving expression
to the feelings and sentiments OF every
member of the Congregational church
as we'll as all others who knew her
when l say that in the death OF Mrs.
G. A. Sorenson we realize we have
lost one of our best members. She
had been affiliated with us for the
past three years, and, during the time
had the'pleasure Of her acquaintance.
she had shown herself TO be worthy of
the name of christian; an honor to the
great Master whose example she ever
strove to follow. Hers was life well
worthy of emulation. She always
manifested the same bearing, quiet,
placid, peaceful, calm. That smile was
never absent from her face; and she
was free from ve"bosity; when she con-
versed she always had purpose.
I'VE sympathile as il body, with
her husband and little Marie But
what 4 prospect is now before them.
Jesus said: In my Fathers house are
many mansions, if it were not so, l
would have told you. go to prepare
place for you; and now Antoine she
has gone to occupy that mansion; she
has gone to prepare place for YOU;
She has entered into her new abode;
she is getting verything ready; she ID
expecting you soon, and also little
Marie. Get nearer to Jesus, get into
his bosom, and let him saturate your
soul, that you may breathe Christ in
to your little lamb; and then you will
be in the atmosphere OF heaven, and
only Il veil, only Il breath will separate
you from her whom you loved SO
dearly"

republicans to bring out two candi-
dltes for the nomination for vice pres
ident. The party has plenty OF men in
this state who could fill that Office in
manner creditable to themselves and
party, but it is not good politics to di-
vide the strength of the party on two
candidates. Governor Peabody has
made good record during his term OF
Office, record that has attracted the
attention and approval OF the law
abiding citizens OF the other states.
As the party heartily endorses his rec
ord as governor, there would seem to
be no good reason why he would not
be satisfactory to the party Of the state
as Il candidate for the nomination for
vice president. II it is found that he
can not command the support Of an
undivided party, then let this honor
be bestowed upon some republican
who can. More than one candidate
fol. this honor will not only tend to
foster factiOnalism in the party but
will weaken the influence of the Col.
orado candidate before the national
onvention.-HolyOke Herald.

wise, the convention adjourned sine
die. This committee was composed Of

WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed Aourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
