DENVER CONVENTION ENDORSED
msries in Denver Rejected by
State Central Committee.

Denver April 3.-The Denver Re
publican (Wolcott Repbublican) this
morning says:
BY vote Of 6s to 80 the Republican
state central committee yesterday en-
,dorsed the action OF the regular Re-
publican city and county committee,
in holding primaries week ago and
calling a city and county convention
done to evade the partisan provisions
OF the new charter, and refused to or
der new primaries under special
commission, as sought by tho anti"
division OF the party. thus giving. for
the fourth time within a year, cone
pfete endorsement Of those in Denver
who held to straight course ever
since the party was rent asunder over
the election OF United StateS sena-
tor in the Fourteenth General Assem-
bly,.
AS result of this decision 4 rumor
was rife of bolt throughout the state
as well as in Denver, and although 1t
is generally accepted that a contesting
delegation will go from the state con-
vention to Chicago and endeavor to Sc
cure recognition there and that rad
fcal element locally. led by the |. X. c.
S. c.. will endeavor to arrange fusion
terms with the Democratic machine
,on ticket to be elected next month.
the leaders of the ANTI" crusade de-
clared after a caucus at nighttime
that they would continue the battle
for supremacy under the Republican
flag. They did not conceal their dis
appointment, however, with the action
of the con mitiee in this and other
matters.
The state committee. in addition to
dealing with the Denver embroglio. set
the date for the state convention at
Friday, May 9Th. in Denver. and en-
dorsed John w. Springer as a candi-
date for vice president on the ticket
with Theodore Roosevelt. Mr.. Springer
was also endorsed by the two con-
gressional committees that met and ar
ranged for their conventions. the first
to be held on the same day as the state
convention. while the second will go
! to Glenwood Springs within four days
of the state gathering, and not only
elect two delegates to the national con-
i yention but nominate a congressman.
! En- orsement was given by the state
! body to the policy pursued by Gov
ernor Peabody in enforcing the Law.

ing for committee from the judicial
! district, the following were named:

DOCKING HORSES
AhTi-oockINa LAW SUSTAINED.
Colorado Supreme Court Declares ths
Law Constitutional and Dsnouness
Docking a. Cruel and esnseIsss.


Law Constitutional and Dsnounesl
Docking a. Cruel and ssnseIsss.
Denver. April 5.-In upholding the
constitutionality OF the Colorado laN
relating to the docking Of horses. the
Supreme Court yesterday declared
sound the first law of this kind sveI
passed in this country. The law pro
vides not only against the docking OF
horses tails but also against the use OF
q docked animal that was not registee.
ed in compliance with the requirements
OF the law after 1t was passsd. 1t was
through the instigation Of the HUI
name Society that the legislation On
this point was secured. and the test
case which has Just been decided was
prosecuted by Secretary E. X. White
head.
The test case was instituted by
Ernest Bland, former coachman OF
John w. Springer. Bland was charged
with having in his possession and
using an unregistered docked horse.
and the case was decided against him
in the lower court He appealed to
the Supreme Court. claiming that that
part of the law which prohibited the
use of unregistered docked horses was
unconstitutional in that it was con-
trary to that part of the constitution
which allows to all persons certain
natural, essential and inalienable
rights" among which might be reck-
oned the acquiring of property.
The opinion was written by Judge
Steele, and he interpreted the law in
n
with full knowledge Of the law the
owner of the horse docked him and
sold him to Bland, and Bland, with full
knowledge of the law, bought docked
horse. Their property has not been
taken without due process of law.
The law has not destroyed their prop
erty; they have destroyed their own
property. Bland sold the horse, and
within two weeks bought him back; in
the interim the horses tail was
docked. There was no necessity for
docking the horses tail, and the par
ties concluded to defy the law, and
they must take the consequences. We
regard the law as just. wise and hui
name. and withal a legal exercise of
power contided to the Legislature be-
cause it conserves the public morals
and because it Furnishes the cruel and
senseless treatment by man of his
best and most constant friend.
The docking of horses's tail is
cruelty. not only because OF the tor
ture inflicted by the operation, but be-
cause by depriving the horse Of the
use of his tail he is deprived of the
use of weapon supplied him by ma
ture for his protection from the my
riads of winged pests that infest the
land. We are of the opinion that in
the forbidding of the use of docked
horse the Legislature has not ex-
ceeded its authority; that the inter
dlction is a valuable and reasonable
exercise of the police power of the
state. and that the constitution has
not been violated"

1hlS seasons northern Colorado
lambs have been principally drawn
from Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, with
the remainder from southern Colo
RADIO and New Mexico, the latter
lambs, by the way, beginning to show
handsomely increased range weights
on account of better flock grading.
The northern and southern lambs. ia
ken in aggregate. go into the fattening
pen at from forty to sixty pounds, and
are market shipped at from eighty to
10 pounds. the shipping weights OF
this season being somewhat in general
excess of those Of last. owing to the
favorable feeding weather of last win
ter.
Over 100000 head of northern Colo
RADIO sheep have been already shipped
with the lamb prices at the Missouri
river ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 and
Chicago selling at from $500 to $3.50.
while the old sheep are marketing at
about SO per head, with an assurance
from practical market prospects of a
considerable swelling of these prices
during the remainder OF the season.
An idea of the profit of the new
beet pulp feeding of old sheep can be
gathered from the fact that old ewes
are bought as cheap as 40 cents per
head, which. with the so cents per ton
pulp, makes an ideal fattening propo-
sitiOn.

Berlin, April 4.-The Norther Ger

the health of Emperor William is such
that gives occasion for concern. The
paper adds that the Emperor's condi-
ton of health remains excellent and
that the voyage he is now on given
every prospect Of full success in RI

he had great blue eyes, which seemed
ever so large as he looked wonderingly
at all that was going on. Then there
came knocking on the wall, and the
children knew that it was signal for
them to get back to bed and not take
cold, and back they scrambled, laugh

and covered themselves up.
Presently the father and mother
came in and distributed the toys. The
doll was for one Of the girls, but the
boy insisted on having it himself. Then

What day it was! The children
were racing about, playing with their

sun shone brightly on the snow out
side, and the fire shone brightly with

and after dinner stories were told the
children till they were all astonished
by the number Of wonderful things
that happen. The boy with the light
hair and blue eyes lay in his mothers
arms, hugging the doll with her breast
pressed against his, so that she could
