TROUBLE TEMPTING THOMAS

1t is the boast of Thomas Kendrick
that he is the leader of the ''ferninst'
forces and that through his influence
the franchises failed to score major
ity and the conditions were brought
about which resulted in the closing of
the baths some time ago. In other
words Mr.. Kendrick seems to delight
in being known as a breeder and dis
seminator of trouble. Several years
ago Mr.. kendrick told bond com
pany, from whom the town was secur-
ing money for tree planting, that the
trees were but switches and were
being stuck in the ground in such a
careless manner that they would not

that Mr. Kendrick : sole desire was to
malign and maisrepresent his fellow
men the citizens of his own town
who were then building wiser than
they knew and today those little
switches speak for themselves in the
stately trees which line our streets,
adding their full share 10 the attract
iveness of our little city. Would you
prefer nice shaded streets of Glenwood
to the barren condition chara, terstic
of many other townsY Then credit
the present desirable conditions to the
fact that in that day those in author
ity who were Jealous to improve the
town for the benefit of coming genera
tions, paid no attention to the bowls
of Mr.. Kendrick in his efforts to block
the wheels of progress.
A few years ago the Denver and
Rio Grande Railroad company an.

ALREADY THREE legislatures
have by resolutions and otherwise de
tolerable wretch. who shirks the high
est duties as well as the highest Joys
and responsibilities of life, all of
which is doubtless true, but the fad
dists along this line evidently lose
sight of the fact that some of the
bachelors of today are doing their very
utmost to break into the ranks of the
benedicts. Why right here in Glen
wood but we refrain from giving
names. And then again ism t it true
that in many instances these enthusi-
astic advocates of compulsory matri-
mony rather make the married state
to appear as one of shoals and pitfalls,
grievous and hard to enter and to be
considered more in the nature of a
denial or duty than JOY and pleas
ure This is serious mistake and
when matrimonial contracts are thus
consummated on this basis, as they
sometimes are, they are neither per
manent or satisfactory. Human aifec-
ton is a peculiar property and it re
quires skillful handling to secure the
best results.

Sugar Making a. Fort Collins.

Denver-A Republican special from
Fort Collins says: So far this season
the local sugar factory is having sue
cessful campaign. 1t began slicing
beets October 4th and has had a con-
tinuous run without an hours stop
page, and has converted the juice ex-
tracted from $4,000 tons of beets into
commercial granulated sugar. There
are still $4,000 tons of beets to work
up, which will keep the factory In op-
Grafton until nearly the LIST of Febru-
AIRY. The product of the factory to
date has been approximately 212.000
sacks of 100 pounds each, or 81 ,25O, 900
pounds OF sugar. These immense fig
ures will be swelled to 100000 900
pounds at the close Of the campaign.
The acreage planted to beets this
season in the Fort Collins district was
1O0O3, an increase of about 1000 acres
over the crop of 1904. and the total
tonnage was 100000, as against 49,
900 in 1904. The average yield per
acre in 1905 was fraction under
twelve tons, as against 1872 tons in
1904, the falling off being due to the
planting of new land In many instances
and the effects OF hail storm in July.
The highest yield per acre reported
was twenty-five tons and the lowest
seven tons. Beets planted on old lands
by experienced growers and which
were not touched by hail averaged
seventeen tons to the acre.

SHOT BY TWO BOYS.
Prominent Colorado Springs Man
~ Dangerously Wounded.

Colorado Springs.-Frank L. Scott,
vice president of the Davie Realty
Company of this city and for twenty
years a prominent business man Of Ell
Paso county, was shot in the back by
two unknown boys at 1905 O'Clock
Wednesday night, while on his way to
the Santa Fe depot, where he intended
to join his wife in California.
Scott was removed to st. Francis
hospital and probably will die. He
is thought mot to have had an enemy
in the world and the only solution of
the mystery is that the assault was
the result OF an attempt at highway
robbery.
According to Scott's statement in
the hospital, he was walking east on
Pixies Peak avenue, near Wahsatch
avenue, two blocks from the depot, a
valise In either hand, when he met two
youths. After he had passed about
ten feet beyond them they cried halt.
and Immediately afterward he fell to
the ground, d shot in the back.
Mr.. Scott described his assailants
as "a couple of kids about twenty
years old" He declared that he had
never seen them before and believes
that robbery was their object. One
wore q cap. another a hat, and both
were of slim build. Both wore dark
clothes.
Captain Stewart has the entire day
and night force searching for the
youths. while mounted deputies under
the direction of Under Sheriff Day
ton are securing the outskirts OF the
city.

favorable to his nomination for gov

opinion to the paper from some OF Sen
ator Patterson's friends. The senator
said such talk is futile.
Il am not and will not under any
possible contingency be candidate
for governor, nor would l accept a
nomination although unanimously ten.
dered No one should be thought OF
for governor by the Democratic party
of Colorado but Alva Adams.
He was flagrantly cheated out OF
the office after he had been unques-
tionably elected by the people. by the
Legislature. His election in view Of the
large majority given to President
Roosevelt proves his great popularity.
have no question but what he is 5000
votes stronger for the Office of gov

litical suicide for the porty to nominate
