PLAN TO REsEAT GOV. PEABODY.
Caucus of Colorado Republican Solons
Will Consider Matter


Denver, Colo, Dec. 81. = Very few
members of the legislature have yet
arrived in the city. and whether the
plans of William G. Evans and other
Republican leaders to reseat Gov.
James Peabody will be adopted by
majority of the Republican members
still is undecided, The Republicans
have an even two-thirds of the votes
on joint ballot and can carry any
measure on which they are united. A
Republican caucus probably will be
held next Monday at which the con-
toest for the speakership of the house
and the plan to continue Gov. Peabody
in office will be considered There
are at least dozen candidates for the
speakership.
Some Republican members, known
as followers of Former United States
Senator Edward o. Wolcott, have de-
clared that while they do not contem-
plate union with the Democrats I'M
der any consideration, they will
Oppose Vigorously
any plan for counting out Adams. The
plan to seat Gov. Peabody, some of
them declared. is wrong, and no eau
Gus action will bring them to support
such action.
The canvass of the votes for state
oeicers is made by the legislature
and is not subject to review in the
courts.
For the first time in the history of
the state a Judge of district court
was compelled yesterday to appear in
person before the supreme court of
the state and explain to that tribunal
why he had issued writ of man.
damus when it was apparent that he
was in error in so doing. Judge Sam
uel l.. Carpenter, of the district court,
was the man served with the citation.
Writs Are Dismissed.
A solemn protest against the action
of the high court was entered by
Judge Carpenter, and he said that I'M
der the circumstances he believed
that he had authority to issue the writ
against the state canvassing board to
force that body to canvass the returns
made for Charles B. Ward and DR..
Michael Beshoar, candidates for the
senate on the Democratic ticket from
Boulder and Las Animas counties, re-
spectively. Being now advised that
the supreme court has decided that
district courts have no power to issue
such writs the judge said: at be-
comes obligatory upon this respond
ent, without any order of this court,
of his own motion. to dismiss such
proceedings"
Judge Carpenter was thereupon dis
charged by the supreme court and the
writs issued by him dismissed.

Whole South Is Asked to Action to
Restore Prices.
Macon, Ca, Dec. 31.-The farmers
and merchants of this section are u.s.
ing every possible means within their
power to reduce the supply of cotton
so as to restore prices. At Fort
Gaines, in the southeastern section Of
the state, yesterday, a number of
farmers were in town to hear what
the ginners report through the gov
ernment's agricultural department
will be. AS soon as it was learned
that the report was more bearish than
the recent estimates and there was
another decline, CONSERVATION pre-
vailed. A kind of mass meeting was
called. 1t was resolved that in every
City and hamlet of the South the pro-
ducers and owners of cotton should
apply the torch to every tenth bale.
Every man present contributed money
to assist in paying for enough cotton
to carry out the resolution. Torches
were applied to pile of cotton in the
street, and the people went wild with
excitement. Money was freely con-
tributed to pay the owners of the
burning cotton.

Winona, Mimi, jan 1. The fam
lily of Leon Lille. who resides near
Chatfield, some distance west of this
city, had a narrow escape from being
burned in their home. Mr.. Lille
was awakened about 4 o'clock by the
cracking of flames, and, rushing up
stairs, found the entire second story
on fire. His wife and two little
daughters already were unconscious
from the smoke. He succeeded in
carrying them outside, but they were
unable to save anything except the
clothes in which they had retired for
the night. Mr.. and Mrs. Lille both
had their feet severely frozen before
they were able to reach the house of
the nearest neighbor. The Lille home
was total loss, amounting to about
$1,000. There was some insurance.

Juror Asks for Fiddle.
Defense Has Best of 1t.

What mysteries shrouding the muir.
der of DR.. Gebhardt will be cleared
away by the trial is as much as ever
matter of conjecture.
The general impression is that the
defense has outmaneuvered the pros
ecution in selecting the jury. 1t seems
to have definite information regard
ing every man called. Then, too, the
long residence of the Koch family in
Brown county; its widespread influ-
ence due to extensive business rela'
tions throughout the county and to
marriage ties, more or less remote
gives the defense a powerful advan
tage in the selection of the jury
Koch's attorneys keenly take advan'
tage of these facts, forcing the state
To Make Many Challenges.
! The general impression seems to be
that if the state has no more evidence
than has been made public Koch will
be acquitted. If it has q. stronge,

MANY people, some with trepedation;
some sorrowfully hopeful, believing il
will result in justice being done for
foul murder; the jury, most people be
1ieve, will disagree.
What the surprise can be, whether
Koch's life has been double: whether
there is a dark past which is to rise
to condemn him, no one save the
states attorneys can tell. They are
carefully guarding the facts on which
they will endeavor to build case.

A subscriber has trouble in teaching
his young calves to drink. We con-
fess that this is not one of the easy
things to do, especially if we are in a

quickly. A little patience is necessary.
Bear in mind all the time that the
young calf is not very different from
what we were at an early period i'll

what it may truthfully be said OF some

is good one. It is not necessary to

Clean and Pure Feed.

Poultry that are fed grain receive
pure feed, but il is rot by any means
advisable to make grain the sole ra-
ton of the poultry. Soft feeds will
have to be fed to some extent and
troughs must be used for this kind Of
feed. Where the residue is left
to sour the fowls will show the CT
fects in time. Fermented feeds do not
appear to be readily digestcd by roul-
,ry. Carelessness in the matter of
cleaning the troughs may cost the
poultry owner dear. 1t requires some
effort to have the feeding and water
ing vessels always clean, but it is the
only thing that should be done. Spoil
cd food is a disease breeder and it
should rot be permitted within reach
of the fowls.

Fruit for Horses and Cows.

We arc asked il it pays to feed fruit
TO farm animals. Does it pay for you
and your family to eat apples and
other fruits? If it does, it will pay to
feed fruits to your horses. COWS, etc.
Our horses and cows are crazy for
apples, and as we always give them
some fruit they always have an ex-
pcc;ant look when we come near
them. TN feeding apples to COWS
they should be spaded in half to avoid
choking) True pound of apples
will not nourish a horse as will a
pound OF oats, but this is no reason
why fruits may not be helpful to ami
mails. 1t is said that no germs can
exist in the stomach while fruit acids
arc present. Yes, feed your animals
fruits, but not in excess. and do not
feed green fruits, since you would
Lot eat them yourself.
