Greeley Illicit Liquor Seller Sets Him
self Right.

Greeley.-Last Thursday Judge
Southard of the County Court received
letter through the mail making
threats against his life unless ne got
Jack O'Grady out of jail. The letter
was signed "o'Grady's Friends"
O'Grady was sentenced to six
months Imprisonment in the County
Court for violating the state liquor law.
To-day Judge Southard received the
following letter from O'Grady:
MY Dear Judge Southard: I was
shocked and hurt to the quick by the
awful letter in this mornings paper.
My wife told me about it. If the let
ter was joke, it was surely in bad
taste to say the least. If the writer
thought you would regard it as
threat, you cannot fail to see that some
bitter enemy framed it for the pur-
pose of doing me all the harm they
could. You know me well enough,
am sure, to realize that neither me o.
my friends would ever wish you the
slightest harm and more than this, |
can say, l have not a friend who would
not protect you from violence or any
kind il it were within their power.
am sure you know the unjust effect of
such unfavorable publicity and will do
what you can to remove the bad i'm
preston. Anonymous letters never
come from any person other than a
black5uard. l write you this merely
to put myself right as well as my
friends. Sincerely,
JACK O'GRADY."

WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are Of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.


Prof Darwin said that il 1t had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those of the elm, the hop
and the nettle. Lord Avebury COM
pares the work of the insect to that of
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms of the garden, so
the insects. by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
ton, ave produced the gay flowers Of
the field. Prof. Plateau, of Ghent, has
carried out a series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and in the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
In flowers to insects-as yet. 1t ap-
pears undefined-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large. bright-colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants. the lime. the planetree. the
nettle and the willow.

BERTHA KRuPP MARRIED.
Heiress Of Great Gun Manufacturer
Weds Poor Lieutenant.

Essen, Prussia-In the presence OF
Emperor William and 140 guests,
Fraulien Bertha Krupp and Lieut.. Gus
tav Won Bohlon Und Halbach were
married Monday in little improvised
chapel adjoining the brides birth
place, the villa Huegel-Huegel. The
ceremony was performed by the pas
tor of the neighboring village church,
where the Krupp family has long wor-
SHIPPED.
Bertha Krupp and Lieutenant Won
Bohlen, before the wedding, announced
their joint gift of s250.O0O to the work
mems invalid fund. and Mrs. Krupp
gave notice that she had donated an
other S250,000 to the same fund and
1875 acres of land on which to build
economical model dwellings for the
workmen. The bridegroom accompa.
MED his portion of the gift by the as
surance that he would perpetuate the
personal relations with the working
people maintained by Alfred and Fried
erich Krupp.
AT the wedding breakfast the en-
peror drank the health of the bride.
The emperor conferred upon the bride
groom the right to use the name
"Krupp Won Bohlen Und Halbach."
The position which Miss Krupp
holds in the social, industrial and po
ltical affairs of the German empire
is unique. Sixty-three thousand en-
ployes are on her pay rolls. In Ger
many alone she has $50 mines, while
a fleet of powerful steamships conveys
coal and iron to Hamburg from her
mines in Spain. A score of stone
quarries contribute to her wealth. She
has shipyards at Kiel. and gun and ar
NOR works at Magdeburg, besides the
giant steel and gun works at Essen,
whose estimated value is $75,000,000.
Miss Krupp, who is twenty years
old, has been reared with a completely
that would compare strikingly with the
complicated luxury of most American
hOuseholds

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS DEAD.
Widow Of President Of the Southern
Confederacy,

New York.-Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
widow of the President Of the Confed-
eracy, who had been i'll for week at
the Hotel Majestic in this city, died at
1925 o'clock Tuesday night. Death
was due to pneumonia induced by a
severe cold which Mrs. Davis con-
tracted upon her return from the Adj
rondacks, where she had spent the
summer months.
Although grave fears were felt from
the first, Mrs. Davis wonderful vital
ity. which brought her safely through
a similar attack year ago. gave hope
of ultimate recovery until late last
night, when a decided change for the
worse was evident and the attending
physicians announced that the end
was near. 1t was then believed that
Mrs. Davis could not survive the night,
but she rallied slightly during the
early hours of to-day.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
she had a similar spell and Rev.
Nathan A. Seable, pastor of st. Ste
phen's Protestant Episcopal Church,
was hurriedly summoned to give relig-
ious comfort to the patient in her last
moments of consciousness. The clergy
man remained some time and an hour
later 1t was announced that Mrs. Da-
Wis had lapsed into a state of coma.
The period of unconsciousness con-
tinued to the end.
At the bedside when death came
were Mrs. ]. Addison Hayes of New
ark, New Jersey, the only surviving
daughter of Mrs. Davis; Jefferson
Hayes-Davis, a grandson, who is
student at Princeton University; Mrs.
Charles E. Bateson, a niece; DR.. and
Mrs. Gustave Webb, the latter grand
daughter, and DIR. Robert H. Wylie,
who with DIR. Webb cared for Mrs. Da-
Wis throughout her illness.
]. Addison Hayes, husband of Mrs.
Davis only living child, had been
summoned from Colorado Springs and
was hurrying across the continent
when message announcing Mrs. Da-
Wis death intercepted him.
Mrs. Davis had for some years made
her home in this city. where she had
a wide circle of friends. Throughout
her illness solicitous inquiries regard
ing her condition were continually
made at her apartments.

Why have our praetors not lnfor-

BILE plans which no mortal has had
the opportunity of admiring, not
even our ediles, to Judge by the Sc
crecy and silence which they have
maintained, And as no one has seen
anything and the municipality has
published nothing, contenting itselt
with announcing a plebescite, the
general belief increases that there
has been no serious study regarding
the installation of an electric ligh-
ting plant, and that up to now it anne
units to nothing more than the caprice
ofa corporation which persists in go
ing contrary to public opinion.
And circum stances confirm this ma.
tural view, to any one of ordinary
understanding the project does not
appear feasible after studying the
disadvantages which it has. Would
not any enc skilled in such matters
have pointed out to our praetors that
it would be dangerous to have ano-

Expressed their opposition to the in
dustrial projects of the municipality.
and they will not consent to additio-
nal poles being placed ON the roofs
of their houses for the accommodation
OF the city.
The municipality still has the
recourse of seeking to secure the pas
sage of a law which will compel the
Iproprietors to let their properties tse
used in order to serve the disas strous
plans of our praetors, but it is doubt
ful if the Legislature wsnld give it's
consent to such violent measure,
to one which would be a new cause of
protest and just complai int on the
part of the taxpayers against the
municipal administrators.
And corporation which has need
OF the suffrage and must live in
harmony with opinion in order to
exist, cannot, without running grave
lrisk, defy it, an it ought to heed the
prudent adviccs which it receives:
public opinion looks with disfavor
on corporation which SHOULD be
administrative, being converted into.
threat and danger to those interests
which are universally held in respect
and esteem.
Our ediles have not succeeded in
making apparent the necessity for
municipal lighting plant which they
seem beat on establishing at. any
cost, Notwithstanding the fact that
the very announcement of the prof
ect has produced alarm and fear in
the minds of the taxpayers.
And if through error our ediles
have believed that their attempts at
municipal industrializazion have
been received with pleasure by the
public, they can no longer have the
slightest doubt in the face OF the
opposition that has been aroused;
therefore they would do well to
desist from their unpopular course
and show meas sure of respect to the
popular will, which views with
supreme'disgust the obstinate persis-

public opinion can be conquered,
