THE LIEUT.. GOVERNOR
WHO is HE TO BE IN coLoRADoa
Promise of a Contest Between Sena-
tors Parks and cornforth-Emi-
nent Lawyers Differ in
Opinion.

D'nver, April 14th.-The Republican
this morning says: Who is lieutenant
governor of the great state of Colo
RADIO? 1t took some months to reach a
decision respecting who should hold
the high Office of governor, but it will
not take SO long to reach a finding on
the other point and the sensational
features will be absent. Senator Ar
thur Cornforth of Ell Paso and Senator
Fred w. Parks of Denver are the
claimants to the office vacated by the
present governor and the odds favor
the later.
Senator Cornforth arrived in Denver
yesterday to be ready to jump into the
shoes of Governor Mcdonald should it
be decided to cross the border line to
greet and give good hunting all' to
the President of the United States.
Senator Parks, who was elected
presiding officer of the Senate by that
body in its closing hours, believes that
he is lieutenant governor and has been
advised by able counsel to this effect.
The issue will be taken into the Su-
preme Court at once. Some acts of
Senator Cornforth to-day may be used
as teSt-a friendly test, as 1t were.
At the opening of the Senate Senator
Cornforth was elected president pro
tenn of the Senate. When Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald was exalted to the
chief office Senator Cornforth laid
claim to the office of president pro TEN.
of the Senate and acting lieutenant
governor. Attorney General Miller
was asked for an opinion and he gave
one and entered into the legal ques-
tions at considerable length. Attorneys
are at work preparing for test on be-
half of Senator Parks. The principal
point raised is that Senator Cornforth
could not hold the two Offices of presi-
dent pro TEN. and of lieutenant COVER
nor at one and the same time. If he
served as lieutenant governor he could
not continue to serve as president pro
TEN. of the Senate, and there is ques-
ton whether he could draw the pay OF
a senator and the emoluments attached
to the office of lieutenant governor.
When the Senate elected Senator
Parks its president, to serve in the in
terim, this act clothed him with the
Office of lieutenant governor. This ar
gument is taken by his attorneys, some
of whom occupy exalted positions at
the bar.
Senator Parks has been out of the
city but will return to-day. He will
prosecute the suit without any delays.

At a meeting of the State Land Board
April 9Th right of way was granted
over certain state lands for reser-

structed near Julesburg. The system
is being constructed under the irrt
cation district law OF 1901, with which
ex-senator McCreery of Greeley is
prominently connected. The right OF
way occupies about thirty acres of the
state land and was sold at $3.50 an
acre.
State Auditor Bent is sending out
a new set of blanks to the county
treasurers for the collection of the
inheritance tax. The Supreme CourS
has upheld the tax and the law re-
Quiries the county treasurers to collect
it. The law also requires that they
report to the auditor every six months
and Mr.. Bent proposes that they shall
report whether they collected any tax
during the time or not. Treasurer

law is so framed tnat the state can
not be peaten by deciding away an

The Rearing Of Lions.

Few, If any. menageries in the world
can show a more remarkably record OF
lion rearing than that of the Dublin
ZOO" From the old lion house, which
was recently replaced by magnificent
building, to which Lord Roberts has
given his name, lions bred within its
walls have been consigned to almost
every quarter of the globe. Upward of
200 cubs saw the light in the old lion
house, and the sum of nearly $25,OOO
resulted from their sale to other me-
nageries, both at home and abroad.
One lioness, whose career in the gar
dens extended over a period of sixteen
years. gave birth in her time to no
fewer than fifty-five cubs, which real
lied the sum of $1,000.

Holly suaar Factory.

Denver, April ia Holly. Colora-
do, special to the Republican last night
says: Construction work on the Holly
sugar factory is progressing rapidly.
The excavation for the main building
has been completed, and the tounda-
tions for the sugar warehouse, ma
chine shop and boiler house are well
under way. The railroad has built n
track to the factory and material and
supplies are being rapidly received
and put in place. Over 100 men are at
work
All orders for machinery have been
placed and deliveries of same Will
commence at once and continue until
all machinery is received. The time
of delivery of this machinery has
been figured so as to fit in with the
erection of the structure, as in build
ing a sugar factory the machinery Is
set up first and the building is erected
around it.
In the course of a month to six
weeks between 300 and 500 men will
be employed on this work. which en-
ployment will continue uutil the COM
pletion of the plant. The plant will
be finished in time to slice the 1905
crop.
The farmers are receiving their beet
seed and are beginning to plant. The
condition of the soil could not be bet
ter for agricultural purposes, recent
rains having put the fields in splendid
shane as regards moisture for all
crops.
Kansas will raise some 1900 acres
of beets for the Holly factory this
year. with a promise of more than
doubling the acreage for next year.

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUAATIsH.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by Which uo
Treated Himself Successfully
When poctors Failed.


Six physicians, all of them good, one OF
them specialist, had done their baD
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years. and still he suffered fear
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been DOR
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice i'll February,
1901. From that time on for a period
of more than three years he was con-
stant sufferer. He tried many kinds of
treatment but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: II should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition ut this time. Mr..
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it ap-
peared in every muscle of my body.
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly aost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble wa7 all in
the muscles and the nerves"
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that n cure might
yet bo found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting OIL her
advice he bought n box of them in Sep
tember, 1901. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief. but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
"When was on the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, "I could realize n change for
the better. felt sure then that DIR.
Williams Pink Pills were the riglh
medicine for my case. 1 kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
1 ana entirely well, and everybody &
asking what I took
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford.
Mich. DIR. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.
