SEVERELY PUNISHED.
Two Denver Election Thieves Get Pen.
ltentiary Sentences.

Denver, March 12.-In the District
Court yesterday Judge Booth NJ. Ma.
lone sentenced Michael Dowd and Pc
ter Miller, each of them, to from three
to five years in the penitentiary for
crimes against the ballot. These men
were convicted of election crimes in
Ward Z, Precinct 2, at the polling place
at 4330 Josephine street. Theirs was
the celebrated case where the light
was put out and 3lS fraudulent ballots
substituted.
The two men who appeared before
| the Supreme Court In the first con.
tempt case arrogant and smiling. were
yesterday hailed before Judge Malone
pale and trembling. Their bravado had
been broken by confinement in the
crowded jail and knowledge of what
was to follow.
Judge Malone addressed the men for
twenty minutes. Among other things
he said: You may have thought that
you were not only safe and secure, but
that you would also be rewarded. You
may have even been promised both
rewards and security. You may have
thought that what you did was not
bad. but smart. But l assure you that
it was not smart and that II was bad
very bad indeed.
you were not content to simply
| stun the ballot box. but you stole and
destroyed oil OF the 3lS ballots cast
In your precinct. Your conduct was
bold. brazen and raw. II you had
stolen &3lS OF money or other common
chattels. you would be felon and II,
able TO punishment In the PeniteDtiary
for long series Of years.
when you stole those 3lS ballots.
you committed. in my opinion, a far
worse crime than the stealing of s3ls
would or could be.
When you stole those 3lS ballots,
you deprived 3lS American citizens OF
the most sacred right given them un.
der the law, and you endangered the
liberty Of every man. woman and child
In this community.
Young men. there Is no politics in
this thing. man who steals ballots
Is not Republican or n Democrat. He
Is a criminal and thief and bad and
dangerous one. This Is not politics.
No party which practices or knowingly
profits by election frauds can long sue.
coed or long endure.
THE man who puts up such n Job
and furnishes the money therefor, is
as bad or worse than the man who
takes the money and does the Job. II
is time that election thievery and elec.
tion frauds were stopped In this com.
munity. Violators OF election lava
will nnd that there ARE some courts
which are not In sympathy with crimes
against the elective franchise or with
! those guilty of them"
The sentence In each case is ms fol,
lows: That you be confined In the
State Penltontlary of the state OF Col
orado. at hard labor. for n period OF
not less than three nor more than Ave
years. II is further ordered. adJudged

CHASING KURopATKIN
JAPANESE PUSH THE PURSUIT
Most Of Russian Army Thought to Be
saved-sut Retreat May Con.
tinue to Hardin.


March 1S.-While General Kuropat-
kin has apparently succeeded In saw
Ing more of his artillery than seemed
possible, his losses in men, ammuni-
ton and commissariat supplies in the
battle of Mukden are far greater than
earlier reports indicated, and even that
portion of his army which he succeeded
in extricating from the positions
around Mukden is still in serious
danger.
The Japanese generals, realizing that
with a little more speed they could
have inflicted crushing defeat on the
Russian army after the battle Of Lao
Yang, determined not to allow such an
opportunity to pass again, are follow.
ing after the defeated and sorely tried
Russian forces.
While n small portion OF Kuropat.
kins army has reached Tie. pass, the
greater part of those who escaped from
the battle of Mukden are still strug.
Cling onward, being at last accounts
between twelve and sixteen miles from
their goal, with the Japanese, flushed
with victory and reinforced by fresh
men, harassing them from all sides.
Even should the remnant of the
army reach Tie pass, 1t Is hardly pos
sible for 1t to make stand against the
overwhelming force opposing 1t, and
especially as the Russians must be
worn out and weakened by the loss OF
men, guns and ammunition.
1t is more likely that Kuropatkin will
fall back to Hardin with what he can
save and wait there for the reinforce
ments that st. Petersburg has already
promised him. A possible obstacle to
the plan Is General Kawamura's army,
which has not yet been located, and
which may also be heading for the
northern capital.

OUR NATIONAL PASTRY.
Pic, the Great American Dessert, Espe.
eialiy In New England.


"Pie is consumed chiefly by the ma
.ive Americans" said Clerk Fortune,
Of Chicago, to the Milwaukee Sentinel.
"Foreigners eat very little Of it.. A
German, for example, might eat three
pies year, while good Yankee
would consume as many In q week.
The English. the Italians and the
French are small pie eaters. The Eng
lish eat plum pudding and the Italians
like fruit. New England and the Mid.
die states constitutes the area of
greatest consumption, but the pie belt
extends far beyond that, as pie Is ex-
tensively eaten all through the West.
Pie is eaten much more generally In
the North than in the South. Chicago
is a great pie center. st. Louis is not
SO good. Milwaukee also ranks low.
One would not think that there are
means for ascertainlng the facts in re-
gard to pie consumption, but l have
gathered statistics on the subject dur
ing the past two years which enables
me to compute with reasonable cor
rectness the consumption Of pies In
every state In the Union. Pies are
made in greater varieties than for
merly. and the supplies are brought
from greater distances-in fact. from
all parts OF the world. The season Of
pies made from green fruit have been
prolonged and pies are made of
canned fruit the year round. The
time-honored mince pie has become a
Christmas dessert whose place is sure
and beyond dispute. There is no ex-
port trade in pies, because in crossing
the ocean the crust would become
soggy. which, Of course. is the reverse
Of the desired condition. 1t Is fact
which would surprise many persons,
however, that pies are often shipped
hundreds CT miles across this coun-
try"

NERVOUS HEADACHE
MARRIED A YOUNG w0MAN's HAP
PINESS FOR SEVEN YEARS.

Yntersered with Her Social Duties and
Threatened to Cause Her Retire.
ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures OF life. ANY
little excitement, or over.exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again 1t
Is like nail driven into the brain, or
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all IN
the top of the head, ut another it IL all
at the base Of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state Of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one Of the conf
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid Of tho
diseased condition Of the blood that
causes the attack by the use Of remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy3 Tho
experience Of Miss Ellen McKenna fur.
nishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years I was
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered.
and became SO restless that I could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not 80 severe, but they
gradually grew moro violent, and finally
became 80 acute that ] was OIL the point
of relinquishing my membership III the
different organizations to which be.
longed." >,
"What saved you from that necessity"
IA very simple thing; the call Of q
member of one of the clubs, who strongly
advised mo to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills
before giving up. acted on her sugges-
ton at once, and nfter steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi-
ness entirely disappeared
Miss McKenna is secretary OF the
Associated ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds Of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.
