On Serious Charge.

u. S. Boltz and George Exline,
both plasterers were arrested last
week, on charge of attempted GRIM
inal assault at Eaton. The two men
had been working there, and few
days ago went back to Eaton for "a
settlement. They stopped at one OF
the restaurants for supper. and while
Mr.. Exline and the proprietor
stepped out for cigar, Boltz is said
to have attempted an assault upon
the wife Of the proprietor. At their
hearing before Justice Atkinson, last
Saturday Boltz was held to the next
term of the district court, while In
line was discharged, there being no
evidence to show that he was in any
way concerned in the matter.

But the Boss He Saw.

What was supposed TO be bold
attempt at horse stealing was perpe-
trated upon Neill & Ward early last
Sunday morning. At about 3 O'Clock
Night Watchman Roseman saw
team being driven north, at the cor
ner of Seventh street and Eighth
avenue, and gave chase to see what
was up. The team and driver had
disappeared, however when he
reached the place, and examination
showed that it was Neill Il Wards
big team of blacks that were mis-
sing. He called up Marshal Camp
by phone, and while that official was
dressing, Mr.. Roseman was calling
both Mr.. Neill and Mr.. Ward. The
four men reached the city hall for a
conference at about the same time,
from their several directions, while
the man with the team approached
the same point from another direc-
tion. 1t was a case of william l
have thee," caught red handed, but
it proved to be the regular driver Of
the team, who had taken the early
morning, while the boss wasn't look
ing, to have little team work done
in his own yard.

as high rate of interest as that
legitimaely, when expense of running
the company. and part of the money
is taken out for u contingency fund
besides. 1t is therefore dependent
upon the steady increase Of policy
holders, and those who pay In part
of the amount of the policy and then
drop out and lose what they have put
in. to pay the few who may remain
in the game long enough for the
lease to die. as the company calls it.
Two and a half years is a con-
siderable time to keep paying in one
dollar a week, to concern Of which
you have absolutely no guarantee
that it will be able to pay back even
a fraction of the money you have put
in. So far as 1t Is known in Greeley,
the only available assets this COM
pany has may be roll-top Office desk
and cane seated chair, and there Is
no guarantee that this desk will not
be shut just few days before the
first batch of policies mature, and
the manager of the scheme depart
quietly for old Mexico.
There Is practically nothing In the
line of legitimate insurance or en-
dowment policies that your local in
surance men cannot give you In good
reliable companies, and the person
who bites on any foreign schemes
like the one in question is doing so
at great risk.

The College Boys.

The University of Colorado Glee
and Mandolin clubs had good
audience in the opera house here
Friday evening, compared with the
size of the audience that for the
past few seasons has greeted college
entertainments. Time was when the
simple announcement of the appear
ance Of an aggregation like the one
that visited the city Friday night
would fill the house to overHowing,
but for some reason the public's
taste has changed. This is to be re-
gretted, as much poorer entertain
ments have drawn full houses here.
The two clubs this year are fully
up to the standard of former seasons,
and they gave delightful musical
treat. The program this year was
not confined to the so-called college
songs, but ran all the way from rag
time to grand opera. The vocal
solos by 7. Percy Foote and Herbert
Whitaker, the guitar playing by A.
Glenn Hoskins and the reading by
Clyde o. Epperson formed pleasing
changes from the ensembly work of
the two clubs.
The conduct of the club members,
it may be added, was in every way
credit to the University and to
themselves.

WARNING TO PEOPLE
Should Look Carefully into La
test Insurance Scheme.

The National Mercantile company
OF Denver, is the latest graft in the
way of get-something- for-nothing
insurance scheme that has struck the
town. Like all other schemes of
this kind it is made up simply
to give every advantage to the pro-
moter. The plan, as set forth in
the company's prospectus, is to pay
81 Il week for 40 weeks, on So
called diamond lease. At the end Of
the ITO weeks the company promises
to pay the policy holder $l60, or q
profit of $50 in two years, three and
a half months.
This part OF it sounds good, and
may be we'll and even honestly in
tended, but anybody knows that, 1t
is beyond question for money to earn

MAY BUILD HOTEL
Decision Hinges on Supply of
Soft Water.

Albert III. Stewart of Denver, who
has recently purchased the William
Miner property at the corner OF
Ninth avenue and the railroad tracks
was in the city few days ago TAX
ing measurements of the lot in order
that the architect might prepare
plans for building on the property.
Mr.. Stewart is going to put in rail-
road eating house, similar to the one
at Palmer Lake, where the travelling
public can secnre quick lunch while
trains are waiting: also for local
people at reduced rates if they pat
ronize the place. A brick building
will be erected facing the depot. j..
Mr.. Stewart also stated, that If
the city voted for supply of soft
mountain water at the coming elec-
tion he would Immediately prepare
to erect nice three story block Oh
the property, to be used for rail-
road hotel. The place is to be open
early enough in the morning for trav-
elers to catch a lunch before leaving
on the 80 train, and will also be
open in the evening until all the
trains are in.

NOW MAKING STARCH
Water Plays Important Part in
Process,

The potato starch factory at the
Greeley Ice & Light plant is now in
full operation, and is making starch
every day, although none is yet ready
for packing. The whole process of
starch making is one, very much Of
water. Water, water everywhere.
The men working there in some of
the semi dark places and the rumble
of machinery and trickling of water
reminds one somewhat of the caves
at Niagara Falls, with the men
dressed in oil-sklns from head to
foot. Involuntary as one looks at
them he begins to reach for his
pocket to draw forth the necessary
tip.
1t is interesting to watch the po-
tatoes drop into the hopper, being
thence conveyed up an elevator of
the endless belt and bucket Variety
to the washer, that is located about
twelve feet above the main floor.
The potatoes pass from this into the
CRATER, and thence over screen this
pulp is run into grinder and ground
up even finer. Then it is again run
over very fine copper screen and the
starch washed out by water running
constantly upon the pulp as it is be-
ing moved along by the slant and
motion of the screen. From there
the pulp is pumped back into press
that removes more starch and also
squeezes out most of the moisture. SO
that when the pulp is dropped out
side the building it is light, odorless,
and has taste something like wheat
bran. The water and starch is then
pumped into huge vats and the
starch allowed to settle. Several
settling processes are gone through
with before the starch can be taken
out and dried.

SPRING MEET.
WELD COUNTY TEACHERS
GATHERED SATURDAY.
Women of LaSalle Entertain a
Large Force Of Educators
Papers and Talks.

Inc spring meeting OF tne Welu
County Teachers association, held in
the Presbyterian church at LaSalle,
last Saturday was one Of the most
successful in the history Of the associ-
alton, both as to intellectual benefit
and from the social point of view.
At the noon hour the ladies Of La
Sale, served a hot luncheon to the
Is or 80 teachers and considerable
number of visitors.
A long delay of the morning ses-
sion was caused by the train from the
north being a couple Of hours late,
but the complete program was, never
theless, carried out, although many
discussions were cut short.
The first number on the program
was a class exercise by Miss Esther
Ross, of the Evans schools. She
gave splendid reading from THE
Mill and the Floss
Essentials in Arithmetic" was
the subject Of a paper by Prof. D. L.
Arnold of the State Normal school,
in which he roundly scored present
day methods in teaching arithmetic.
In his opinion there was too much
technical and too little practical
matter taught in the three and four
story" fractions that the average text
book deals with. Matter that in
after life nobody will ever have oc-
casion to make use of, while practic-
al work is subordinated.
A discussion by Mrs. Helen L.
Grenfell, L. Fl. Harrison, ]. c. Ken
we'll and Miss Pechin followed the
paper.
The subject, Something Definite
in Language Work., was divided be-
tween Miss Clara Heilmann, of the
Buell. school and j. c. kenwell of
the Evans schools. Miss Heilmann
being absent her paper on the Pri-
mary Grades was read by her associ-
ate teacher, Mrs. lisa 1. Brewnell.
Mr.. kenwells paper on the language
in the higher grades was we'll re-
ceived. as was that by Miss He'll
mann.
After luncheon, Mrs. Helen l..
Grenfell, former state superintendent
of schools delivered an address upon
the subject. Educational Ideals of
Today" Mrs. Grenfell also spoke
at Evans, in their lecture course, in
the evening. and next morning de-
livered an address in one OF the
churches there, on the use OF the
Bible in the schools. In the after
noon she gave talk at Peckham.
rs the Turbulent Spirit Grow
ing?' was the subject of a paper by
Charles E. Carter, superintendent OF
the Greeley schools. While Mr..
Carter did not attempt to answer nor
deny the question, he pointed out
some of the factors that might be
given as causes for turbulence on the
part of the pupils, not the least Of
which was the lack of cooperation by
the parents with the teacher. He
was followed by Miss Edna w. West
of Greeley on the subject of The
Home" and by John V. Crone with
''Some Legal Remedies" the three
papers bearing upon the same subject.

Denver Won Again.

The Denver Chess, hecker and
Whist club won from Greeley in an
interesting match played in Masonic
temple Denver, Thursday night. The
winners led by eighteen tricks at the
close of the play. The teams en-
loved dinner at the Delmonico at
midnight.
Denver's total was 2,0S9 and Gree
ley's 2,07l for the evenings play.
The north and south total was l,9'o
and that of east and west ?, lS5.
The score was as follows:

SCuiSCiy u uioP VIII icdCil llle river.
Even the rivers, where they flow be-
tween banks that have been denuded
lpf timber will show remarkable
decrease in volume from evaporation.
Mr.. Mills says, that in his estima-
tiOn the mountains of Colorado could
be leforested at very little cost
compared with the benefit to be de-
rived. But even were nothing done
to replenish the forests, something
should be done to protect what is
now left. Scarcely a bit Of atten-
tion is paid to forest fires in the
state, although hundreds of acres of
fine timber land may be denuded
each day. There is law upon the
statute books giving the sheriff of a
county the power to call upon the
populace to assist In fighting forest
fires. but no more attention is paid
to this statute by the officials than
though it did not exist. Mr.. Mills
states that two years ago great fire
ragged for six days in the forests about
the headwaters of the st. Vrain
river, and although the governor of
the state, and sheriff of the county
were both notified Of the fact, no
move was made to stop the confiagra-
tion, until rain quenched it, after
thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth of damage had been done.
tc n q fn
compel campers to take out license
before they may camp in the hills.
This law is also ignored, and many
fires are started in this way. This
was also formerly the case in the
Yellowstone park, but since the U.
s. government has taken complete
control, forest rangers have been
placed in charge of the park, who
compel all campers to put out their
camp fires before leaving. The re-
suit Is that there are never any de-
structive fires in the entire park, and
the service is maintained at nom
inal expense. Why not this system
for Colorado? Again point where
preservation is considered an abso-
lutte necessity: Where fire has passed
over a hill the ground will shortly
become unfit for forest growth, even
should nature in her own way at
empt to replenish the growth. There
is at the best but little soil on the
rocks of the Colorado mountains, and
while little of this has come from
disintegrated rock, enough, perhaps,
to catch the first seed and make 1T
grow, the real soil has come from the
decaying foliage that has fallen from
this tree, and others that have sprung
up about it. When this natural
source of soil supply has been burned
the old soil quickly washes into the
rivers and leaves nothing but the
bare granite rocks, unfit to sustain
even the most meagre plant life.
That confer seed will readily
grow in the forest soil, Mr.. Mills is
positive as he has observed that
wherever snowslide has passed
down mountain side and the trees
it contained have scratched and har-
rowed the soil, the seed deposited
into the soil by this process have
sprung up into young spruce and pine
trees with great rapidity, while be-
yond the limits of the slide, not
new tree could be found.
While the United States govern
ment has done a little in the vicinity
of Colorado Springs toward replen-
ishing the timber, the work now is
practically at a standstill, and un-
less the state take up the matter,
the timber supply will surely II
slowly become thing OF memory in
Colorado.

HADSHAKEUP
THREE GOVERNORS IN COLO
RADIO IN ONE DAY.
What Has Been Done in State
Capitol, With a Few Recon-
mendations to the
People.

LIE curtdlu HAS Ildlly uTOppeu Ol
James II. Peabody's political career,
let be hoped, forever. Colorado has
had three governors inside of twenty
four hours, fitting conclusion to
the farcical. tragical, melodramatic
political chicanery that has disturbed
the state for the past two years.
Jesse Mcdonald, former lieutenant
governor Is governor, and If he is
strong enough to keep out of the
clutches of Bill Evans and a few of
that individuals henchmen, he may
make good governor. At any rate
he should not be condemned until he
has been given trial. His part in
the recent disgraceful actions Of the
legislature has apparently been more
passive than active. Nevertheless,
he has taken part with the corrup-
tionists, and just how far he will be
influenced by them in his acts here
after remains to be seen.
The passing of Peabody leaves
nothing but an unpleasant memory
of the man, and a cost to the state
of about a million dollars for extra
military expenses. Another 800. 600
can be added to this as cost of the
contest he waged for seat that he
was no more entitled to than the
man in the moon.
Alya Adams goes back to private
life, more respected and more hon.
ored than though he had been al
lowed to keep the seat to which he
was elected. Should the election be
held today. with Adams and Peabody
as candidates there is no doubt that
| Adams would receive three votes to
| Peabody's one. But both are now in
private life and each will be remem-
bered according to his deserts.
The corporations received a little
check in their program, but hereafter
they will be more careful in the selec-
tion of the men they have sent to
the legislature, and instead of wait
ing for the men tC arrive at the cap
itol before taking control, they will
go into the different counties and
pick their men for the election. 1t
will be considerably cheaper, too, as
all that will be necessary will be to
buy the particular political boss of
that county, and he will see that
only the right men are nominated
Weld county should be proud Of her
two assemblymen, as they both voted
with Bill Evans. throughout the pro-
ceedings. For another term, there
is no need of looking for new ma
terial for the legislature from this
county, as it is proven beyond a
doubt that Townsend and Barber will
vote right.
Senator Clayton who did nothing
but protest, and refused to go on
board the corruption special should
be retired to private life as quick as
possible. In fact, his resignation
should be asked for. Some good
man could easily be found to take
his place, who might even vet make
good thing out of the job, 1t is a
shame really that Weld county
should not receive its due share of
Bill Evans money. Having once
disposed of MIR. Clayton, the people
of Weld county could drop into quiet
and peaceful slumbers, for they
would know that their interests
would be we'll looked after at the
state house. People do so help those
who help themselves.

New School Districts.

A new school district has been Gre
ated northwest of the Severance dis
trict. to be known as District No.
66. The new district has been
carved out of districts, 81, So, and
lOl, and has about fifty children of
school age. A school will be started
there shortly.
A new district is also soon to be
created in the vicinity of Dover,
where new settlers have been coming
in so rapidly of late that there are
now over forty children ready for
school there. The district will be
about twelve or fifteen miles north

Mr.. John B. Le,.nig Talks About Pro.
gress of Durham and Charlotte.

A reporter had a word last night
with Mr.. John B. Lening, president Of
the Durham and Charlotte railroad.
He was here on his way to Philadel-
phia after having been down to see
what progress is being made. He
said that no very decided progress had
been made, but Tie process Of con-
struction nevertheless was proceeding
surely if slowly. He calculates that
the line will be h1ilt to Troy by March.
Sometimes afterwards it is his inten-
ton to start the proposed line betw cen
P~ittsbOro and HaW River. This is
the line which is expected to come into
Greensboro. Mr.. Lening said that one
reason the work had progressed so
slowly ON the line into Troy was that
some very rough country was penetrat-
ed. He owns the line in his own name
and it is understood, though he did
not say SO in his interview last night,
that he invests a certain line of income
i'll railroad building and that when this
source of revenue is used up the build
ing Of the road stops until more cash
accumulates for railroad purposes. Mr..
Lening built the line from Durham to
Lynchburg. He is a manufacturing
chemist.-Greensboro Telegram.

RESPITE
Granted to Murray of Durlanl-T1le
Governors Reasons.

Governor Glenn has again respited
w r. Murray. He is given until Oc-
tober 26 before beginning his sentence
on the roads. In the meantime the
governor will decide what to do in re-
gard to getting a pardon. This was
done yesterday afternoon, Governor
Glenn stating that inasmuch as the
president will visit Raleigh next week
and there vas a vast accumulation in
the office that he could not render a
decision by next Tuesday morning and
do himself and the respondent justice.
In order that both may have justice
the respite of some time ago was con-
tlnued until October 26.
So far the public knows that is
the only thing that Governor Glenn
has done in regard to the case that is
now all attention here. He heard the
argument of counsel yesterday, heard
read several affidavits and letters. a
portion of the evidence as taken at the
trial was read to him, and he then re-
spited the respondent until the date
named.-Durham Herald.
