THROUGH A DEADLOCK.
How Governor Adams of Colorado
May Retain His Seat.

Denver, March 9.-The Republican
majority in the general assembly
seems to be hopelessly split over the
proposition to make James H. Pea
body's contest for the Office of COVER
nor a party measure and to seat the
former governor in place of Governor
Alva Adams. The legislature consists
at present of 81 members. 66 Repub-
leans and 81 Democrats, the Republic
cans having a majority of IS on joint
ballot. Twenty-Five Republicans. it is
commonly reported, have decided in
conference that Peabody has failed to
prove his election. but many of them
would not agree to vote to sustain the
Democratic governor These Repub-
licans, it is said. have united in sup
port of the report of Senator Morton
Alexander, a member of the Joint con-
test committee, which declared that
the election for governor was null and
void, there being fraud on both sides;
that there is a vacancy in the Office
and that therefore the lieutenant gov
ernor by virtue of the constitution
should succeed to the governorship.
The Peabodyites declare that this
method of settling the contest is I'M
constitutional and impracticable. Lieu
tenant Governor Jesse A. Mcdonald
has publicly announced to the mem
bers of the general assembly that he
has been legally advised that it would
be a wrongful and illegal act to seat
him as governor as compromise or
Inakeshift in deciding the contest Be
fore the Joint convention met this
morning the Peabody leaders an
nounced their purpose to force the is
sue to a final vote today. Should the
Alexander report be voted on first and
defeated the anti-Peabody Republic
cans Will endeavor to defeat the other
three reports from the contest COM
mittee. If the plan should succeed a
deadlock would be created and AIva
Adams would remain as governor.

FARMERS INSTITUTE WEAK.
A. B. Hostetter, Deposed Secretary,
Makes Some Nasty Charges.

Springfield. ILL.,, March "a. B. Hos
tetter, for five years secretary of the
state farmers institute, was ousted at
the annual meeting of the board Of di-
rectorS and in consequence there is
brewing a scandal involving probably a
member of the board of directors.
Undermining the interests of the state
institute is the reason expressed by A
P. Grout of Winchester for demanding
HostetterS resignation. The deposed
secretary says he was hostile to many
things being done by the board of di-
rectors because they were not in the
interest of the farmers, whom he has
served in various capacities for twnty-
five years.
Hostetter's important charge is con-
tanned in his resignation, which appeals
to the directors of the farmers institute
to use every effort Ito protect the in
stitute and our agricultural experiment
station from the power and influence of
graSping corporations, which are at
tempting to use these institutions, sup
ported by state funds, for private gain
The company referred to by Hostetter
is a $1,000 600 corporation organized in
the state of New York under the name
OF the New York and st. Louis Mining
and Manufacturing company and which
owns 10000 acres Of PHOSPHORUS rock
near Nashville, Tenn. When ground
into fine powder and without any
further preparation the rock or fossil
bone is sold as a fertilizer and DIR. G.
e. Hopkins OF the university OF ILLINOIS
highly recommends the rock as the
thing needed to feed or fertilize Hi
nois soil.
DR.. Hopkins is the professor of ago
nomy or the chemist having charge of
the field crops and soil at the agricul-
tural experiment station at Champaign.
1t is said he is the owner of stock in
the 81, 0oO, 600 corporation.
Hostetter charges there has never
been a time when Swift or Armour or
other corporations interested in selling
fertilizer would not have paid large
sums for just such Endorsement as Hop
kins and members of the board of di-
rectors of the institute have given the
Tennessee phosphate.

LAST OF HIS RACE
Lieutenant Governor Hanna
Running Senate Alone.
He VIII Adjourn That Organi-
cation Tomorrow.
ON TO HILL CITY.
With Faithful George He'll
Journey Westward.
House Presents a WOebegone
Appearance Today.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Dave Hanna has
decided to close the legislature some
time tomorrow. To all intent the in
cident is closed now. but legislature
is considerably like a funeral. The ser
vice is over when the minister puts his
prayer-book in his pocket, but the cor
tege cannot start for the graveyard
until the undertakes screw down the
lid.
In this instance they have left the
president of the senate to screw down
the lid. Tomorrow he will appoint his
janitor sergeant-at-arms, and tell him
to go get a senator-any old senator will
do. Perhaps George will be unable to
find an imported senator, but he can
go over to North Topeka and inquire
for the residence of Senator Belts.
When the senator is brought before
the president, His Sub-Excellency
Will ask: What is the will of the Sen
ate Then Mr.. Belts will say, I move
that we do now adjourn, sine die, sud
denly and for quite a while"
Then Dave Hanna will turn to the
ergeant-at-arns, and give him the
high-sign. George will lock the door.
You have heard the motion. All in IA
vor of the motion will say aye -
Aye" says Belts, and prepares to
walk out, 1T is now" says Dave
Hanna, that the Chair insists on max
ing a speech before this august body.
I am deeply gratif1ed, etc, etc. etc
Mr.. Belts escapes through a window,
and the session of 1905 is at an end.
George and Dave are the last to leave.
Dave winds the clock while George
throws the cat out and locks up. Then
they start home.
There is something impressive about
the biennial demonstrating of Dave and
George. David j. Hanna lives at Hill
City. George lives at Nicodemus, the
negro settlement a few miles northeast,
and is Hanna's janitor de chambre dur

speckled bands, and hats and hats and

hats.
Mr.. Hanna. as far as he could be held
personally responsible, has conducted
the senate. in a very able manner. He
knows something about Hoyle and Rob-
ert's Rules of Order, and sometimes he
could force the senate to work when 1t
didn't want to. Along toward the last
of the session he tried to put the XII
bosh on the f1owery flow of language,
and succeeded admirably. He made ar
engagements with a henchman in the
bunch before him. and when a senator
-riz up to spout, Hanna would give
the high-sign and the henchman would
bounce up and move the previous ques-
ton. Now the lieutenant governor will
go back to Hill City and sell real es-
tate and call the citizens of Graham
county by their first names.
One of the good old relics of antique
idiocity which is always practieed at
the closing of a session in the house of
representatives, is to make the house
look like it had been raided by a herd
of escaped lunatics. Papers are torn up

Naturally the city is full of rumors.
the most persistent of which is that
the Russian west front, which prac-
tfcally extends north and south to pro-
tect the line of retreat, has been
broken and the bulk of the Russian
army has been forced eastward in the

prove true, Gen. Chickering's part of
