Adams Will
Be Governor

Denver. Feb. 2O.-(special.) j.
Thirteen republican members of the
legislature have declared that they
win vote to retain Governor Adams.
This is a claim Of the PerLcdy
managers. According to these Pea
body figures, the contest will stand
as follows; For Adams-demoerats
81; republicans, Is; total. "a. For
Peabedy--republicans, So.
1t is known that at least ten other
legislators have expressed them
selves. as favoring Adams.
II they resist the Establishments
OF the corporations, Adams will win.
Said an experienced republican
politician today: If Howbert. VIII
liams, Brown and Broad admit that
thirteen members have broken over
the traces, you may depend upon it
that a large number of other mem
bers are on the uncertain list"
The Peabodyites have utterly
failed to make case. Their re
buttal testimony has failed to pan
out. From now on to the end great
efforts viii be made to corrupt the
members of the legislature.

pleased. and the absence of Nine

as Nine. Noldi so well filled the bill
that the audience had nothing but
praise for the entire performance.

first genuine opera company appear

they gave the public in the scenes
from Faust and I'll Trovatore"

leading role. Her presence was de
lightful and her voice so delightfully."-
in tune with the demands of the
scene that the audience hardly wait
ed for her to finish several of the
ever beautiful songs before they be
gan hearty and continued applause
Especially was her voice heard to
excellent advantage in the Jewel
Song" and in the mad scene in the /.
prison, and at the conclusion of the .
latter was called before the curtain .
in response to the splendid applause
accorded her rendition of this ever
beautiful part,

ONE ON THE FARMERS.

1t is now reported that Texas has come to the front
with another refreshing Lone Star proposition, which in
respect looks very much like joke the farming
and dairy interests in the entire South and it is no less
than plan for the Of cotton seed oil as an oleomar
gerine for butter The proposition also has stroag
political Significance in much the agricultural
influence which brought about adverse national and state
legislation toward the of the oeomargernes butter
and the joke the farmer lies In the fact that this egsla
ton depryes him OF substantial revenue as it pro-
hbits him from using for sale product which he himself
raises and which touches by-product of the Souh's
greatest staple After many tests and experiments it has
been found that cotton seed oil may be used as harmless
mixture to butter and those states which have no prohba
tive laws will reap the first benefits of the new process
The matter has been subject of much talk among cotton
rasers in Texas and in other parts of the South where
known but while the cotton grower may use his own
cotton seed oil in butter intended for his consumption
he is debarred from converting it into remunerstive
commercial product by the laws which he himself created
Whether not this fact will have any effect upon reverse
legislation is matter wholly of speculation but as
stands the farmer is compelled to submit to deprivation
of and cannot OF his easily obtained
products to his enhanced pecuniary advantage
