been taken In the case by certain
newspapers and the assertion was
made that he would be pardoned at
this meeting.
The board had a long list of appli-
cations and was In session for four
hours. The fight of the day was made
in the case of Z. Z. Brooks. who is
serving sentence of sixteen years for
the killing of his father-in-law in 1899.
The pardon was fought before the
resenting the family OF the dead man.
E. X. Laurie made a plea for Brooks.
The application was denied.

pardon from the county Jail. He was

FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This Famous Show.
Piace-its Tremendous Electrical
Power the lnducement.

Niagara Falls, August 1.-THE
volume OF water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possible
ity of q practical wiping out Of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes. is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters Of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the FIVE or six thousand degree
hpat Of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union.
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide Is lifeless as
SO much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though OF compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings Of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn Of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets OF
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed,
and the manufacture and sale Of
acetylene generators has become a
business of recognized standing. has
assumed large proportions and Ia
steadily growing.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug. Z.
Our market here last week wan
rather quiet. as Is usually the case at
this season of the year. Receipts
were about the same as the week be-
fore. but some 1000 head short OF
arrivals Of year ago. Quality was
very fair on the average, but nothing
choice offered. There was a very
fair demand for the good kinds and
prices are little stronger than q
week ago. There is, however, no very
material improvement in the situa-
lion. Right good beef steers have
been scarce, and outside of a few
loads of contract stuff packers have
been able to get very few.
The tone Of the feeder and stocker
narket has been better this week,
and indications are that the demand
will improve rapidly from now on.
A very large corn crop is practically
assured, and the trade is looking for
a big demand this fall with prices
right around where they were last
year.
The hog market advanced about
80 cents last week and tops at $5.85
are at the high point of the year, and
higher than they have been on this
market since last September. The
demand is very fair.
The trade in sheep has been very
quiet and conditions about the same
they were week ago. The demand
tor feeders on tie range is excellent.
but very few coming this way as yet

CONFERENCE BUILDING
WHERE PEACE ENJOYS MEET.
Elaborate Preparations Made at Ports.
mouth, N. H.-NavaI Stores Build
Inq Remodeled for Conference.


Portsmouth, N. H.. Aug. e.-After
a day Of activity in the navy yard the
finishing touches in preparation for
this afternoon and everything is now
outside of the large new naval stores
building where the plenipotentiaries
are to be received and where they are
to hold daily sessions.
The second story Of the building Is
to be occupied by the peace mission.
The conference room is in the center
of the building over the main en-,
trance. Adjoining 1t is q suite Of
three spacious rooms which have been
assigned to the Japanese ENJOYS. On
the other side is reception room dedi-
Gated to the representatives OF the
United States government. Beyond
this Is suite of three rooms for the
use of the Russian mission.
On either side of the corridor which
divides the building are large dining
rooms, where midday luncheons will.
be served separately to the respective
missions. and in the eastern dining
room Admiral Mead, commandant Of
the navy yard. will serve banquet to
the envoys, their suites and about
sixty invited guests on their arrival.
Two freproof rooms have been fitted
up for the storage of documents.
The conference room is imposingly
furnished. A mammoth table in the
center is surrounded by huge chairs
beautifully upholstered in black
leather. On the floor is costly Rus
sian rug. At either end of the room
are mahogany tables adopted for cler-
ical work. The walls of the room are
draped with flags used by the navy in
making the international code signals.
These flags relieve the barren walls in
all the rooms and are the only decora-
tions. Handsome desks, chairs and ta-
bles make all of the rooms appear in
elegant dignity. Persian rugs are laid
upon the floors.
1t cost the United States govern
ment $4,000 to equip the quarters for
the conference. Without the building
all appearance of newness has been
removed. The borders of the newly
laid cement walk have been sodded
and the gravel walk leading to the
landing, 1000 feet away, has been put
in repair. Everything at the landing
stage has been made ship-shape.
Every available room in the hotel
where the missions are to be quar-
tered has been taken. The city is
filled with a small army of newspaper
correspondents representing. in addi-
tion to the press associations and the
great dailies of the United States, jour
mails in Europe and Japan.

My DEAR MIR. BERGEN: In reply
to yours OF recent date, J will state
that this department holds that the
| course of study below the high
school department in any we'll regu-
lated and supervised system of
| SCHOOLS is considered as complying
with the statutes, and that pupils
completing such course are. under
the provisions of Chap. 329, Ii, v of
1908, entitled t. admission in the
high school | do not understand
that these children are required to
undergo any further examination
under the county superintendent 1t
wo1ld seem that il is one Of the du-
ties OF a county superintendent to is
sue certificates in eases such as you
mention to those who have complet.
ed the work preparatory to the high
school, whether such work has been
completed in country school, or
whether it has been completed in the
grades below the high school.
1t does not seem that n county SUI
perintendent will refuse to recognize
as properly prepared to take up high
school work those pupils who have
satisfactorily completed the grades
below the high school in the regular
course. The completion of tn cir pre-
paratory course under the statutes is
sufficient. There can be no question
whatever upon this point. Nor does
it appear that ouly those who had
completed the work in country
schools, and obtained what is known
as acommon school diploma, should
be entitled to enter the high schools.
The purpose Of the statutes appears
to lave been to enlarge the oppor-
tunity for children to obtain a high

De StruCtive Blaze
Ed. WooIrich's Fine Barn and Other
Property Devoured by the
Relentless Fiend.

Last Saturday evening few min.
utes before six o'clock fire was dis
covered i'm the barn of Mr.. Ed Wool.
rich, who farms nigh unto two miles
east OF this city. by his daughter
Amy. who happened TO go outside
the house for some purpose. Mrs
Woorich, who had just returned
home from this city, was inside the
house, and the daughter iminediate-
y notified her. Together they rush
ed to the barn with pail or two OF
water. The fire was located in the
hay shed and cattle barn, adjoining
the main barn. The water they car
ried was thrown on the flames, but
without any checking effect. Then
one of them went to the house and
notified the neighbors by telephone.
Mr.. Woolrich was in or about the
barn abou. five O'Clock and got some
feed for the hogs, after which he
took the team and went to the corn
field over the brow of a hill for corn
with which to feed some steers. By
the time he returned and about when
some neighbors had reached there
the fire was under strong Roadway,
beyond control, in fact The struggle
then was to save couple of colts
and some hogs in immediate danger,
farm machinery, etc, and to save the
house, which was dangerously close.
In this it might be said they were
successful, although some machinery
was left to its fate because of the at
tention thehouse demanded.
The main barn, 36x52, cattle barn
and hay shed, 32x50, machine and
chicken house, lSx24, together with
100 tons of hay, 800 bushels of grain,
some machinery and large straw
pile were entirely devoured by the
flames, and all, it might be said, in
about an hour and a half. The loss is
fully $500, insurance about $l,400.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
Mr.. Woolrich is the only man con-
nected with the farm, and, as he does
not use tobacco in any form, there is
no possibility of it's originating from
such source; and neither are there
any children who might have been
playing with matches, circum-
stance which sometimes starts de-
structive fire.
Mr.. Woolrich is to be numbered
among our most upright, persevering
farmers. His loss is one he can ill
afford, and will prove a great draw
back to him. He desires to thank
through the Tribune the many kind
neighbors and friends who so hastily
came and rendered valuable assist
anee.
