Eiqht.Hour Bill Passed

Denver, March 21.-Yesterday the
State Senate got down to business and
handled more bills than in half a
dozen days previously. A number of
measures of special interest to the
public received attention.
Among these was the Stephen
eight-hour bill. which was passed on
third reading. 1t will now be up to
the governor for signature, when prop
erly engrossed and signed by the pres
ident of the Senate.
The bill was adopted by vote Of
twenty-eight for and one against, there
being four absentees. De La Vergne,
Griffith, Hughes and Jefferson.
Senator Kennedy alone voted
against the measure. AS the leading
labor member of the body he has op-
posed the bill because he thinks it
does not meet the requirements of the
constitution, and that it will work evil
instead of good.
A protest against the bill was also
presented by Senator Sapp, Taylor
Crowley. Harris, Bailey and Clayton.
They announced that they voted for
the measure to keep their records
clear. but that it is not the bill they

HAS HAD REVELATIONS.
Statement Of President Joseph H
Smith Of the Mormon Church.

Salt Lake, March 21.-Joseph F.
Smith, president Of the Mormon
Church last Sunday. in public ad-
dress in the Tabernacle, modified and
explained his statement made in the
Senate investigating committee at
Washington to the effect that he had
received no revelations from God. In
his address to-day President Smith is
quoted as saying with reference to the
revelation:
I'm Washington I refused to say
what my inquistors wanted me to say
in order to get me into trap, that is
to say that God had given be revela-
ton on some new law or precept
which was to be included and written
in the laws Of the church. Did you
ever hear me deny that l had been
guided by God? No, NO man ever heard
me say this.
When l was first baptized as
child, God revealed to me that had
done an act which he approved. God
also revealed to me that Joseph Smith
was a prophet Of God, raised up by
the power Of the Almighty. He re-
vealed to me In terms incontrovertible
that Brigham Young succeeded law
fully to the presidency of the church by
the will of the Almighty. He revealed
to me that John Taylor was the divine
successor of Brigham Young, that Will
ford Woodruff was the divine success
sor Of John Taylor, that Lorenzo Snow
was the divine successor of MILFORD
Woodruff. l leave it to you to say
whether it is right and lawful for me
to be in this position.
Il fervently believe that God has
made manifest to me many glorious
things anu much more wisdom than is
inherent in myself and will continue to
do 80 as long as l am ready to listen
when he speaks"

A parasite that destroys the larvae
of the codling moth is being distri-
buted by the California commissioner
of horticulture. 1t is wasp-like in
sect, the scientific name of which is
Ephialtes Carbonarious. The parasite
was discovered in southern Europe by
George Compere, entomologist of west
ern Australia, who brought it to Cali
fornia.
There is no reason in the world
why sheep and cattle should not run
on the same range" says P. T. Stevens
of Montrose, county, who has recently
acquired $4,000 acres of land in Utah,
where he proposes to establish a sheep
range and also to run some cattle
there. "This can be done easily
enough" he says, land if one under
stands the business, it will result in
actual advantage to the range. The
sheen eat weeds and almost anything
in preference to grass. while the cat
tie prefer grass and only certain kinds
of weeds."-Field and Farm.

Horse Breeding Experiment.

All of the animals which were pur-
chased recently Throughout the mid
die West to be used in the federal
horse breeding experiment to be car
ried on in Colorado have arrived at
Fort Collins. The last animal to ar
rive was the standard brood mare do
mated by w. c. Brown, vice president
and general manager of the New York
Central railroad This animal was
shipped by express and arrived in fine
condition.
There never has been seen in Colo
RADIO finer stable of this type of
horse. The stable now number twenty
animals, nineteen mares and one stall
lion. They have been selected from
seven different states extending from
Wyoming to Ohio. The object of the
experiment is to establish an American
breed of heavy harness horses, and the
animals to found the breed were Sc
lected from the families of the Amer
ican Standard Bred and conform to a
certain type which is considered the
most desirable for the purpose in view.
The stables at the Agricultural Col
lege farm, where, the animals are be-
ing kept, are being visited daily by
large numbers of admirers of fine
horses. The handsome stallion Car
mine," purchased from Tichnor Broth
ers of Chicago attracts the greatest
attention.
This animal was owned for some
time by Tom Lawson, the author Of
''rJenzied Finance" for whom he won
many prizes in the show rings, notably
at the Boston horse show two years
ago, where Carmine was one of the
six-horse turnout winning first place,
and where he and his mate won first
place in the two-horse turnouts. Car
mine, with two other animals Of his
class, sold for 100000 and about one
third of that amount is what he is val
uel at to-day.

Ovation to Alva Adams.

Pueblo. Colo, March 20.-Several
thousand people met former Governor
Alva Adams at the Union depot at 3:40
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and after
listening to an address by him es-
corted him to his home on the mesa in
a carriage drawn by a party of ad-
mirers.
In his speech before leaving the sta
tion, which was delivered from a stand
in front of the building, Governor
Adams said:
"lt is impossible for me to express
what is in my heart on this day as a
result of the great ovation you have
given me. You have made this day for
me one Of the proudest of my life, and
one that will remember forever.
II come home to you defeated, but
my hands are clean.
II want to say that l did my duty
as best could and feel at this hour
that would rather be robbed than to
rob.
while here l want to pay tribute
to those who stood by me during this
contest. Not as Democrats or Re-
publicans, but as citizens of this state,
in upholding the laws, constitution and
the ballot of the people.
Representative Metz of Pueblo, a
Republican, stood like a stone wall,
like the fortress on the Rhine after
which he was named.
Again I say no nobler citizen in
Colorado is there than Col. ]. R. Hurd
and when he returns to Pueblo he
comes as my loyal friend and always
one Of my best friends.
II have no regrets. l would rather
stand in the hearts of the people as
am to-day than to stan under the
capitol dome of any state If the United
States as chief executive.
Il thank you from my heart for the
reception

Another Shooting ir Denver.

Denver, March 19.-Lying in wait
behind a porch at West Colfax and
Julian street, where the people of the
neighborhood were in the habit of
waiting for car in rainy weather, Will
liam G. Smith, railway freight clerk
employed by the Burlington Railroad
Company, yesterday morning watched
for his enemy, Gus NGufeld. an iron
moulder in the employ of the Davis
Iron Works Company. Upon his ar
rival Smith drew re !olver and fired
five shots. Four took effect in the
body of Neufeld, wonnding him NOR
taiiy. The fifth penetrated the left leg
OF Bernard Winters foreman in the
Denver folding bed factory. Winters
may recover. Both victims were taken
to St. Anthony's hospital, which is
close by the scene of the shooting
Neufeld died tonight.
Smith had quarreled with his neigh

lot line. Neufeld lived with the
Berkes family and is charged by the
Smiths with having offered brutal in
suits to Mrs. Smith.

THE FARM AND RANGE
Should Raise More Wheat.

Professor Olin of the department Of
agronomy at the agricultural college
at Fort Collins is receiving a great
many inquiries from farmers concern
ing wheat. The high price OF that
grain during the past year is proving
a .euptation to many to plant more
than the usual acreage.
Professor Olin says: THE scourge
of rust in the Northwest and the hail
In certain sections, together with the
tax of smut, had a tendency to cut
doy n the wheat acreage In this coun-
try so that the February trade shows
a shortage of 6O.0O0,000 bushels in the
United States. For this reason the
farmers should this year put in few
extra acres OF wheat, for they will be
reasonably certain of obtaining a good
market price for their harvested crop
next fall.
The number of wheat consumers
in the world is being continually in
creased by the worlds commerce. and
unless We increase the wheat acreage
or the yield per acre, We will not keep
up supply equal to the demand.
"rhe millers Of the state are sue
ceeding in making a fine quality OF
-four from Colorado wheats. The mill
ers manufacturing flour from our
spring wheat prefer the Defiance for
milling purposes. We find that pure
strain Of Defiance is very hard to OBJ
tain at the present time.
Wheat farmers should make spe-
cialty of growing pure type of mill
ing wheat. l would recommend that
wheat since 1t seems to be in demand
by the millers all over the state. The
type of winter wheat that seems to be
preferred by Colorado millers is the
Turkey Red This is a hard wheat;
yields well, gives good percentage Of
-four.
Wheat = one of the grains that
seems to enter logically with alfalfa.
sugar beets and potatoes for crop
rotation. All seed wheat should be
thoroughly deansed, treated with Wit
riol and seeded in well-prepared seed
bed, in proper season to make a crop.
II certainly desire to encourage
farmers of Colorado to raise good mill
ing wheat and plenty of it."

PROSPECTS OF PEACE
STRONG INFLUENCES At WORK.

Russian Minister Thinks Japan Can
., Afford to Be Generous-Further
Fighting Would Only Profit Rivals
Of Both Countries.
St. Petersburg, March 20.-While
Emperor Nicholas, whose word is final,
still declines to abandon the prosecu-
tion Of the war. and the government
mainstains its ability to continue the
conflict, the Associated Press is in a
position to state that powerful influ-
ences. including several of the en-
peror's own ministers. are now
strongly urging that the time has
come to Indicate to Japan Russia's
desire for peace upon reasonable
basis.
Should Japan then attempt to I'm,
pose too onerous conditions, these in,
fuences argue that, in view of the uni
versal wish to see the bloody conflict
ended, Russias position will be
strengthened abroad by the alienation
of sympathy from Japan and the situa,
tion at home improved when the ma
ton is made to understand that the
S"PCIOA pRSiAN piopoo"ip AN'S 1>-
met with impossible terms.
One of the emperor's ministers IN a
conversation with the Associated
Press said:
I'VE have suffered b. utter defeat
on land and sea- We can, however,
still continue the war. But both coun'
tries have suffered losses in both blood
and treasure. and it would only profit
the rivals of both were We to fight on
until one or the other is exhausted.
Russia has had hard task fighting
the war against such adversaries 5000
miles from home, and l contend she
can make a dignified peace without
glory, but not without honor.
LAS the victor on land and sea.
Japan can afford to remember. as Bis
marck did at the conclusion OF the
Austro-Prussian war. that two coun-
tries which must live Through the long
future as neighbors may need each
others friendship. Japan may con-
slider the time propitious, on account
of the situation in European Russia,
to try and crush us. Suppose, for the
sake of argument, she succeeded in
finally forcing a humiliating peace; 1t
could not be more than an armed
truce. Russia is too big and powerful
to retire permanently from the held.
The clouds at home will eventually
roll away. With the army and navy
recognized in five, ten or fifteen years
there will come Inevitably our re-
venge. No permanent peace is possi-
bile now or later unless Japan is rea-
9onable."
