A Big FARM SOLD
Windsor Sugar Company Buys
Big Tract.

A deal was concluded Saturday
whereby the Windsor Sugar COM
pany secured what is known as the
b. H. Eaton home farm, lying one
half mile south of the Windsor fac
tory. Thele are 1920 acres in the
tract and it is understood the pur.
chase price is about $65, 900. The
sugar company also secures one-sixth
interest in Windsor lake. This
will give the company splendid
water supply as we'll as a fine piece
of land for beet culture and other
agricultural crops. The deal has
been made between Bruce g. Eaton
and representatives of the sugar COM
pany. direct.
Over six thousand acres of sugar
beets have already been subscribed
for the three Weld county factor
les, not including the old contracts
that held over from last year. All
these are voluntary contracts, as
the field men have not yet commenced
work. All told there will probably
be 20, 900 acres of beets raised here
next summer for the three factories.
The beet pulp has all been moved
from the Greeley and Eaton factories
and fed to stock. The Windsor
factory still has enough on hand to
fed the lambs III that section for
another thirty days. The pulp
has been in greater demand this win
ter than ever before, for lamb fat
tening, and from the experiments
by the Greeley sugar company from

Msanest Landlords.


M0aHost Landlords.
"The landlords of the west are the
meanest, hardest, cruelest, of all.
Nowhere are such ruthless bloodsuck-
ers to be found. They have crowded
the people out into the barren places
and have left whole stretches Of fer
tile land under the herds and hogs.
Those who have seen the wretched
land on which the peolpe live are
amazed that any one would think of
extracting money from people who
raise living from such soil. Yet
out of the poor lands of Connaught
almost a million is taken in rent. "
The land is exceedingly rich in
Connaught, " says another 'and yet
the distress is narrowing to contem-
plate.'
AS an explanation of the recur-
ring failure of the potato crop, which
is responsible for the suffering and
want in the western counties, the
description of one of the farms
by member of parliament, who re-
Gently visited it, goes far:
AT a short distance the hill on
which the farm was situated gave
the appearance of one continuous
mass of rock. with boulders scat
tered about to break the monotony.
Not a bit of earth or blade OF grass
could the eye behold, and were it
not that smoke appeared from the
fourteen or fifteen huts that close
inspection disclosed no one could for
moment imagine that human
being could dwell on the forbiidding
hillside.
Little patches of clay measuring
ten or fifteen yards long and wide
were scattered over the eight or ten
acres of the granite surface. If all
of these spots were Joined together
they certainly could not exceed two
acres at the most. Some of these
clayey spots were three or four hund-
red yards apart, and to procure this
staff of life-the potato crop-the
owner had to manure the patches
with seaweed fetched with infinite
trouble from the shore some distance
away
Such are the farms on which the
neosants have to absolutely rely for
their food. These arid tracts have
failed them again this year, and the
failure is so general and widespread
that unless unexpected ald comes
from outside, many must starve.

WOULD END The WAR
RUMOR Thai RUSSIA AGREES
TO PEACE TERMS.
Conditions as Reported Make Big Con
CcssiOus to Japan--zar Now Wiling
to Give Up LiaotuuG Peninsula and

\ dispatch from 81. Petersburg says
that the question Of peace has not only
been formally discussed, but the CON
ditionS on which Russia is prepared
to make peace has been agreed upon.
They are as follows:
!. Korea 20 be placed under japanese
suZeraiuty.
=. Port Arthur and the Liaotung Pc
ninsula to be coded to Japan.
>. Nladivostok to be dccla red neutral
port with an open door.
4. The Eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral international ad-
ministration.
.. Manchur:a as far north as Hardin
to be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire.
The difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity. upon which it
is known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that this difficulty is not in
superable.
The most trustworthy opinion at st.
Petersburg is that in view of the i'll
ternal situation and the enormous diff
Guilty in carrying on the war the peace
terms outlined will be concluded with
in comparatively short time if the
indemnity question can be arranged,
but it is quite possible that Russia
will risk another battle before a de-
cision is reached
The rumOrs that peace between Rus
STA and Japan is near are accepted by
the press of London as having strong
inherent probability. According to
continental reports, the Emperor Of
Austria has used his efforts to per-
suade Emperor Nicholas to seek peace.
The terms as outlined may be regarded
as forming an extremely possible basis
for peace, as they are held to include
more than Japan claimed before the
war

AFTER THE PACKERS.
Federal Authorities Deal Unexpected
Blow to Beef Men.

After months of silent and secret prep
nraticn the United States government
opened hostilities Tuesday against the
meat packers, by serving SubpoenaS upon
heads of departments and other employees
of the various firms. commanding them
to appear before the federal grand jury.
which will convene in Chicago on March
20. A concerted attack was made by
deputy United States marShals in if
teen other cities than Chicago where
branch houses of the packing firms are
located. and before night $50 subpoenas
had been served.
The opening gun signalized the begin
ming of a determined prosecution Of vio-
lators Of Judge Grosscup's injunction re-
straining packers from certain acts
which would be in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law. iii order which re-
Gently was sustained by the United
States Supreme Court. The injunction
restrained the packers from compelling
their agents to stop bidding; from limit
ing supplies to agents or localities; from
lowering. fixing or raising prices. and
from dividing territory or enforcing uni
form rules as to credits and charges.
1t is the firm belief of the Department
of Justice at Washington that sufficient
evidence has been obtained as Il result
of the investigation conducted last sum
mer by agents of Commissioner Garfield
of the Department Of Commerce and La
Dor to insure the Indictment, conviction
ard imprisonment of number of the
packers.
The law provides a penalty of either a
fine not exceeding $4,000. imprisonment
not exceeding one year, or both, for vio-
lationS of the antitrust law. Punish
ment for violation of the GroSscup in
junction would be at the discretion Of the
court under contempt proceedings.

It IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor 0intments
Will Reach Rheumatism-How
Mr.. Stephenson Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
joints, or painful muscles people who
shuttle about with the aid of cane or a
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the best
thing for rheumatism ?"
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
ternal applications is foolish waste Of
time. The seat Of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease on the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delays in adopting a sensible treatment
are dangerous because rheumatism may
at any moment reach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that of hundreds. He says:
about year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. 1 tried number
Of treatments and ointmenfs, but they
failed to alleviate the pains"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only a surface in
aication. He adds:
81 had heard Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
for rheumatism, and when found that
Twas getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that would try
them. Before the first box was gone 1
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they We're not so
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up 1 was entirely free
from discomfort, and have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No. lis
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purii-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold BY all
druggists
