COLORADO ELECTION.
Republican Leaders Will Contest
the Vote For Alva Adams.
They Will Ask the Legislature to Have
the Entire Vote of SO Denver
Democratic Precincts
Thrown Out.

Denver, Col, Dec. 24.-AccOrding to
a report published Friday it has been
definitely decided by the republican
leaders to contest the election of Alva
Adams as governor before the legisla-
ture by which the vote is canYassed.
Their purpose, it is said, is to submit
evidence of frauds committed in SO
Denver democratic precincts over
which the supreme court took juris-
vote of all these precincts rejected in
accordance with the example of the
court, which threw out the votes Of
five precincts where it was shown Dy
evidence in contempt cases that it's in
junction had been violated.
The state board of canvassers spent
the entire day in hearing arguments
in regard to it's authority to go behind
the returns as presented by the county
canvassing boards. The board, which
is composed of five state officers, all
of whom are republicans, has been
asked to throw out the votes of GER
tain precincts in Boulder and Las An
imas counties on the ground of the al
legged frauds and award the certificates
of election to two republican candi-
dates for the state senate.
In defending Clarence P. Dickson,
an election clerk charged with con-
tempt in having permitted inegal vot-
ing at the November election in viola
tion of the supreme courts injunction,
| IN
open court Friday that the ballot box
must have been tampered with since
the election. The experts report had
shown that there were 81 ballots in
the box which were folded in such a
manner as to show that they were not
deposited singly in the usual manner
through the opening in the box.
at is impossible" said Mr.. Horn
bein, "that any election officer put the
| 81 folded ballots in that box The SUI
| preme court watchers were there the
entire day; they stayed until the morn
ing after the election when the box
was taken to the courthouse; they did
not allege that any stufing of the box
had been done, and the only theory I
have for the presence of those ballots
in the box is that they were put there
| by some persons not connected with
| the democratic organization"
Attorney Hornbein asked the court
to order an investigation of the men
who have been acting as guardians of
the ballot boxes at the courthouse and
at the statehouse when they. were
opened for investigation. He intimat-
ed that the watchers had been bribed
and had permitted the extraction of
good ballots and the insertion of fraud
ulent ballots. No action was taken by
| the court on the attorneys charge.
The court took the case under advise
! ment.

Fa shions For Young Girls

The ideas which are shown in the
bodice Of this frock are 80 particularly
pretty that they would well be worth
utilizing for the making of theater
blouse suitable for girls to be worn with
quite plain skirt in silk or muslin.
Carrying out the idea suggested in our
sketch, however, the bodice is prettily
pleated and trimmed with lace insertion
in the same way as the skirt, the folds
being drawn around the figure in front
to form kind of bolero, and then
caught in the center with a pale pink
rose. The shaped revers and the deep
waist-belt should be of satin, either in
the same pink as the rose or in pale
shade of turquoise blue or delicate
spring-leaf green. A few folds of white
embroidered net or chiffon soften the
decOlletage. While the sleeves, which
come only to the elbow, are of the
pleated silk and lace insertion, finished
with frills of lace. The long, straight
shoulder scarf which is such a pretty
feature of this costume, might be either
of embroidered muslin or some light
kind of lace.
AS far as the younger girls in the
nursery or schoolroom are concerned,
there can be no doubt that there is moth
ing prettier or more becoming for them
to wear all the year round that white,
although white clothes are certainly
an. extravaganza. For Sunday best,
however, even the most economical of
mothers may reasonably indulge in the
pleasure of dressing her small daughters
in white, and l would therefore suggest
that the neat little coat and skirt herein
illustrated should be made in white or
cream soft serge, or possibly a fine
The Bourbon news., 1904-12-27

white cloth. This material must negsf-
theless be very carefully chosen in order
to make sure that it is light in weight.
The skirt should be made fairly full and
pleated into stitched band at the waist.
The bodice might be box-pleated and
left quite loose both back and front.
and made with small bishop sleeves.
1t could be finished with large collar
and straight cuffs of Irish crochet lace,
so that it would be quite nice for smart
occasions, when the coat was taken off,
and for sole trimming on the skirt there
should be two or three lines of stitching
above the hem.

quite suitable for girls to wear when
they are made up in perfectly plain
and simple fashion. A full skirt, in soft
white satin, for Instance, pleated at the
waist at the side and neck, but having
the front quite plain, looks very well,
indeed, for young girls evening frock,
with possibly to or three ruches of box
pleated satin ribbon at the hem. A
pretty bodice to go with skirt of this
kind is made full in baby fashion, and
drawn down under a deep belt of the
same satin. 1t has a round decolletage,
outlined with a ruche of ribbon, and
softened with a few folds of white silk
muslin, tulle or chiffon. The short
puffed sleeves are finished in the same
way with ribbon ruche, and worn with
very long white gloves.
In one of the accompanying sketches
may be seen a dainty and graceful eve
ming frock suitable for girl of about II,
just before that momentous time when
she puts her hair up and comes out. The
material is very soft white washing
silk, and the skirt should be made up on
a white taffeta glace or fine batiste
foundation, in three separate flounces,
to give the effect of a triple skirt Each
founce Is finely pleated and trimmed
with long lines of Valenciennes lace in
sertion, running downwards from the
waist. An edging of Valenciennes lace
to match also borders the fiounces where
they are cut out in Vandyke points
along the hens.

The Photo OF His Mother.

A boy in service of a man of war
in the .. S. Navy, happened to drop
his coat in the sea just before the
battle of Cavite. He asked an officer
to be allowed to jump over board and
save his coat, but his request was not
granted. At once he went to the
other end of the ship and thinking
that no one saw him jumped over
board and in a few minutes was on
board again with his coat. The
officer had watched him and after the
battle was over, the poor boy was
sentenced to several years imprison-
ment on account of disobedience in
time of war. When Admiral Dewey
had to sign the sentence, he asked
the boy why he had disobeyed the
officer. In answer the boy pulled
out of his coat pocket the photo of
his mother. 'sThis," he said, 81
would not loose, even at the cost of
my future career" The Admiral
being moved, tore up the sentence,
saying, "Boys who risk their life for
the photo of their mother will also
risk it for their country. They must
not be put in prison."

A SoIomon's Judgment.

KING Solomon.

complainant to the Judge, "and paid
the price agreed upon and the
accused was to bring the COW to my
farm. The COW was not delivered,
because as the accused says, 1 have
not paid him, which is lie "Has
the man paid you?" asked the Judge?
"No,' said the accuser. "The de-
fendant seems to be an honest man."
remarked the Judge, therefore 1
propose to take up a collection for
him. 1 give roebels, what will you
give?" turning to the accuser.
"Here is bill of 3 1oebels," and
the accuser handed the bill to the
Judge. The latter looked at the bill
for some time and at last cried out,
GLOW do you dare to give this
worthless bill?" The accuser turned
as white as snow and acknowledged
that he received the bill from the
defendant. ''He paid me with these
worthless bills and deserves to be
sent to Siberia. 1 am innocent"
''I thought from the beginning" :"
said the Judge, ''that this man was
honest and you were deceiver. The
bill is as good as gold" The
accuser was put in a place where he
could not beat any one else.
