The Republicans of Ward county
believe it is about time for the
county to get on the political map Of
the state. During the Murphy rule the
county got nothing. Whenever there
was a candidate for a state Office from
this county who was not a creature Of
! Murphy $ and carried the delegation
against the major, Murphy would
work mp contest and 60 TO the CON
Svention and seek admission. This. Of
course, would knock ont the local
aspirant. It is rule or ruin with.

to keep a hold on the party, in the.
county, Murphy has induced Martin
Jacobson to become candidate for

jacobson is the leading merchant Of
SMinot, enterprising and popular, and
under ordinary conditions would se-s
cure the delegation to the state con-.
yention without any opposition. But
the conditions are not ordinary.
Major Murphy's political rule is OBJ
noxious to the younger element Of the
Republican party in Ward county and,
the PERSONAL popularity Of Mr.. Jacob
son will not be sufficient to bolster
up the tottering dynasty

five glazes. The recipe now employed
gives it's maker perfect satisfaction,
her work for the future lying in the
development of color effects and in
the perfecting of details such as
translucence, openwork employed in an
original way, designs with or without
lnlays of glaze and inlays used IN the
body. Among these details the one
most striking to the lay observer is
the openwork, which appears in spots
and never in the jacket form, as in
the Sevres or in the round perfora-
tions of the 'eyelet china. Miss Me
Laughlin's openwork effects, like ey-

BAD HOLDUPS
GOT AWAY.

At about 8 o'clock Monday evening
last two colored men held up and rob
bed N. J. Farrell in his store at 6Sl
east Northern avenue, relieving him
OF $1,000.
The fellows entered the front door,
asked the proprietor for FIVE cents
worth of plug tobacco, and as he
stopped behind the counter in compli-
ance with the request they both pull
led their guns which they thrust in
the face of Farrell commanding
hands up"
OF course the victim complied and
while he stood obediently holding his
hands aloft they helped themselves to
the contents Of the cash drawer.
Mrs. Farrell who was in room in
the rear part of the building, hearing
the unusual talk, opened the door and
the robbers fed She says she can
positively identify the pair of crimi-
mails if she ever sees them again, but
they got away in the darkness.

experience, that Of being held up, and

KEEP BOOSTING
The Outlook for this CITY Is Ex.

Cheerful.

If anybody tells you that this is
going to be an off year because of
the presidential election. just set him
down as being clear off in his judg-
ment and that he has not sized up
the situation properly.
Reckoning from information found
in the columns Of our numerous ex-
changes we judge that all over the
state they are looking for good times
ahead; that as the winter season
grows shorter and shorter the hope
that springs eternal in the human
breast, rises to the occasion and
seems to permeate the whole COM
monwealth.
Following labor strikes in the min
ing districts came strikes of another
sort-mineral strikes of the richest
kind, the richest, in fact, that Colo
RADIO has known for years, and there
is great rejoicing.
The stockmen and farmers are feel
ing good and there is comfort and
plenty in the cities and towns.
Here in Pueblo this applies with
great force. Pueblo is wealthy for a
city of its size, and as an industrial
city 1t has no equal this side Of the
Missouri River.
Wherever you see the crowds Of
men marching to and from their work
you will see good, lively, solid town,
and that is what you see here.
Bessemer is to Pueblo what the
wheel is within wheel. 1t is the
real motive power, the real agency
that makes the city grow and pros

The Earl's Splendid Bill.

Only limited number of perfor-
mances remain in which to witness at
the Earl theatre, one of the very best
and costly vaudeville programms ever
brought to the west. Mr.. Keith, him
self, is not offering better material
to his blase-patrons than the dainty
Katy-Did sextet, Fore and Summers,
Trask and Rodgers, Mr.. Sloan's pictu-
re songs, Edison's wonderful animated
picture: THE Great Train Robbery"
If the management Of the Earl con-
tinue to offer such material of merit
and refinement rs they are offering
this week they cannot fall short Of
the most lofty demands the most
particular patron could impose upon
them.
Since its opening this house has al
ways been a popular place of enter
tainment. 1t is now getting to be
something more, it is fast becoming a
sort of resort for the best and most
fashionable people to gather at and
exchange greetings at least once a
week.
Nor does the high-class character
of the talent displayed lessen the in-
tersst to the average vaudeville lover,
for, while the bill is always refined it
is always intensely absorbing and
amusing at the same time.
For the benefit of those who would
learn what will be the offering at this
house for the following week. we
print elsewhere in this issue the full
