had been placed in front of the doors. On Monday evening boards were nailed over the windows up to the second sash, and it was thought that the building was amply pro- tected, and it was for any ordinary, or even unusual, flood. But when the dam gave way the water was raised two feet above the boards protecting the door in the rear of the building, and the force of the water against the door showed the catches off and the door swung open, and within a few minutes the entire office was flooded to a depth of nearly six feet. Everything in the office and press room was under water, and thousands of little receptaCles in the cases were filled with pasty mud which could only be removed from the type by hand washing. A hand jig to separate the type from the mud would have done the job in half the time, but the only implement of the kind around the shop was Major Lattin'S dry washer, and as there was no time to dry the mud and tail ings, it was necessary to proceed with the wet method. The scarcity of water was another serious impedi- ment to progress. Nearly three days were consumed in shoveling out tail ings and mud, and then it was neces- sary to take the presses and engine apart and give them a thorough cleaning. In addition to these obstacles, it was found that much 'pi'' had been made by the sloshing of the water and the falling of shelving and different articles around the rooms. All standing type was covered with a sediment of mud which had the tenacity of paste. All cases had been removed from the cabinets and stacked up on the stones and type racks for safety in case the water should enter the building, but this was no protection, as the water went over the top of them. They were so swollen by the water that they could not again be placed in the cabinets, hence they were scattered promisCuously over the office. It is easy to talk about newspaper enter prise, and the promptness with which papers are issued after great disas- ters, but in such troubles as con fronted the ERA it was simply inn possible to do business under a week or ten days. Were it possible to have done so it would have been bet ter policy to have put in new plant, but unfortunately the BRAS bank account would not permit of such a luxury, hence it was necessary to dig out the mud, sort out the "pi" and make the best of the situation, and this was done. As soon as new location can be secured a new build ing will be erected and the office re- fitted throughout, but until that time business will be continued at the old stand, and the management will ap- preciate any business that the public may see fit to favor it with. Those who can do so will confer favor upon the management by remitting their indebtedness, either on sub- scription or otherwise.

 There were twenty or more small cottages owned or occupied by poor people below the stable, that were flooded from four to five feet. These poor people suffered heavily.

Whether the county clerk or the
election commission is to have
charge of the new registration in
Denver this spring is to be settled
by the courts. This is another of
the tangles the Rush bill got the
city mixed up in. The new regis
tration law provides that the lists
be made under supervision of the
county clerk, but the Democrats
claim that the new charter took
the city from under the jurisdic-
ton of the Legislature. they
would like to have the registration

MAKING FOVR-LEA WE'D CLOVERS

Four leaved clovers may be grown
in abundance OH lawns or in flower
beds. The raising of four leaved cfo-
vers has been made possible by Prof.
De Vries of Amsterdam, who has
found a plant bearing six or seven
four leaved clovers, capable of being
transplanted. He first sowed them,
and since then he has had new gen.
Grafton each year. Each time he
chose his seeds from fourth of the
best plants; that is, from those which
had the most four and five leaved clo-
vers. 1t was the third generation
which began to be rich in the desired
form of leaflets, but only with four and
five leaflets, and these only in the
adult plant. During August and Sep.
tember of the same year he remarked
a very few with seven leaflets. At
this point he reduced his selection to
a severe standard. He chose for his
p,ngenitors only those plants having

DENVER THE BEAUTIFUL.

There is good deal of discuss

pert Robinson's plan to beautify
Denver. We all want to see the
Queen City the handsomest city
in the country. Mayor Speer's
Budget calling for an expenditure
of million and a half dollars is
none to large. 1t shows that we
are to have more paving, more
street cleaning, more drinking
fountains, new Cherry Creek 3ou-
levard and many other advantages
and improvements commensurate
with the growth and progress of a
great city. Denver is now young
and many of her largest and finest
building are yet to be constructed
and her most beautiful and tasty
residences to be erected and streets
to be laid out-why not plan these
improvement with a view to syme-
try and beauty so that the coming
generations shall rise up and call
the present actors blessed for ex-
hibiting wisdom and common
sense in laying out the city.
The ordinary American city is
laid out any way, and built any
old way, but Denver is young and
promising. The most beautiful
already of her competitors and it
ought to be her duty like every
sensible, blushing young maid to
continue beautiful.
Our colored citizens can assist
in this good work by putting

fixing your Tense, repairing your
sheds and outhouses sodding your
yards, planting flowers and vines
and giving your residence the ap-
pearance of people of refinement.
1t don't cost as much to be neat,
tidy and clean as it does to be
dirty, careless and Indifferent.
Let all hands join for more beau
tiful Denver and we shall have it.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

This subject is always perennial
because there are new phases of it
developing daily and it effects SO
many homes and families that it
can never grow old. How to deal
with these two subjects forms one
OF the most difficult problems of
human society. The rocks on
which the bark of matrimony is
wrecked are of many varieties.
Often the fatal rock of destruction
OF connubial bliss is so large that
there is no excuse for striking
them. Again they are so small
but numerous that it takes care
full steering to avoid them and
there are others so submurged that
none but experienced pilots can
glide safely pass them. 1t is not
the big rocks that are dangerous,
only a fool would run against them
but it is the thousand and one
little difficulties of daily life that
causes the serious wrecks ca the
matrimonial sea, for instance. a
man coming home from work tired
thinks he should make no special
effort to be agreeable to his wife
though he expects to find her
cheerful, bright and overjoyed to
see him, this is often a mistake
the wife is often as worn out as
himself with household cares, bad
feelings and troubles of her own.
The club, saloon and card table
come in for their share of dangers.
The money question is often bit
ter pill for both parties to swallow
and last but not least especial at
tention to some new flame ends
the matrimonial voyage in the
deepest gloom and the Divorce
courts or coroners jury hears the
rest of the sad story.
How to avoid these results here
is the burning question for every
man and woman to consider.
Take the chart of life, the compass
of love, sit down and study them
over carefully the safe course if
you would reach your destination
safely. The cause of many if not
the most of these wrecks is we
have not studied the route. IAN
ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure"

cred a curious fact that much simpli-
fled his selection from then on. In
sowing clover one may observe that
the first leaf of each young and sub
sequent leaflets have regularly three
leaflets. This knowledge made it pos
sible for him to make his selection
much more quickly. He had only to
choose the young clovers with com
pound leaves and transplant them
from his glass house to his garden,
leaving the others to perish. Thus he
did not need so many hundred indi-
viduals as before, though each year
he still selected some thousands OF
seedlings from their sowing pots. At
last, after eight years of effort, the
new variety of clover came into exist
ence. OF this crop nearly all young
plants had their first leaf compound
ed, and all, with few exceptions, were
five leaved.
