COLORADO SCHOOLS.
Statistics Reported by the State Super
intendent.

The past year has been one of ac-
tivity and progress in educational af-
fairs in Colorado. The number of chill
dren enrolled in the schools in the
year of 1906 was 1891; this was an
increase approximately 1000 pupils
over the year of 1904 while the in
crease of the year 1904 over the year
1903 was approximately only 5000.
There are approximately 5000 teach
ers in the state with an average salary
of SOS per month. There were seven
ty-five school buildings erected dur
ing the year of 1905. These buildings
are constructed largely of brick or
stone containing more than one room
with all modern equipments.
Within the past year there has been
a notable increase in the high school
attendance, also the number of pupils
completing the eighth grade.
Manual training. domestic science
and school gardening are being intro
duced into nearly all of the schools in
the state with marked results.
The total enrolment Of students in
the State University at Boulder, Colo
rado. for the year of 1904-1905 shows
an increase of 139 pupils over the
previous year.
The Normal School at Greeley grad
uated a class last year of 1Q7 students,
an increase of twenty over the pre-
vious year. The enrolment for 1904
1905 was 979, an increase of 254 over
the previous year.
The total enrolment of the school
of mines at Golden during the year of
1904-19O5 was 290, an increase of sew
enty-six over the previous year.
The State Agricultural College at
Fort Collins had a total enrolment of
433 students during the year of 1909.
1904.
Each of these state institutions re-
port a greater increase In enrolment
this year than any year in the past,
which is conclusive proof Of the edu-
cational growth in this state.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, April 3.
-Dullness was the characteristic fea-
ture of the local cattle market last
week, as we'll as at all other centers.
Receipts were not heavy at any point
but bulk ran to beef steers and 1t was
case of too many for the demand.
Prices were lower at all points. the de-
cline ranging from 15c to 30c. Beef
steers were of from l5c to 2Oc here
Best stuff sold at $4.57s and 1t was
very good. Other steers went at $4.55
and most of the business from that
down to $500. Some choice cows from
western Nebraska brought s41O. the
high price, while others went at 80.
Few, however, landed above $3.75 and
most OF the killing grades sold from
this down to $500. Medium cows
brought s2.25 to s2.s5 and Gamers
around $500, and from that down.
Good cows were in demand, but prices
are 10c to 15c lower in sympathy with
the general decline. Common cows
are off about quarter. Bulls were
scarce and fully steady, while veals
closed firm with tops at $3.50. Demand
for veals was very good but supply
light Feeder and stocker trade was
quiet as supply was very limited
There was good demand for the
choice stuff and market notes little
change on these. but anything not
strictly first-class moved slowly on ac-
count of the light eastern demand and
prices 15c to 20c lower Country de.
mand was limited and bulk of the busl-
ness was done by dealers. Sales ranged
largely from $3.50 TO $425. few steers
being on hand good enough to go above
the latter price.
The hog supply was heavy. About
1000 arrived and on top of a like sup
ply the preceding week this proved
rather too many for the trade. Pack
ers bought them ali but are now pretty
heavily loaded up and demand will not
be strong for few days. Prices were
higher early in the week but closed
lower with tops selling around $6.25.
The sheep supply was heavy but
good many billed through Good ewes
are wanted here and sell readily as de-
mand is better than supply. Prices are
1Oc to 15c higher on ewes, but about
steady on lambs, as the demand Is only
fair on this market

Live Stock Exchange Trust.

Topeka, Kans.-It was decided by
the Kansas Supreme Court Saturday
that the Kansas City Live Stock Ex-
change is a trust, and that all cattle
mortgages made through members of
that exchange are invalid. The far.
reaching effect of this decision are be-
yond estimation. Nearly all the chat
tel mortgages issued through the mem
bers of the exchange contain the pro
vision that a commission of at least
so cents head shall be charged. I'm
der the holding of the court. this is suf-
ficient to constitute trust. and all the
notes and mortgages are absolutely
void ana cannot be enforced.

years OF which have been given to his
present high office.
Judge Robert L. Lewis has been for
eight years a resident of Colorado

month was appointed by Governor
Peabody to the district bench, which
ne neld with credit ever since.
Judge Lewis was born in Cass
county, Missouri, April 3, 1857, being
therefore. forty-nine years of age The
families OF his father and mother. re-
specuyely, both emigrated from Vir-
ginia to Missouri, when the latter was

farm until his sixteenth year. when he
went to Westminster College, at Full
ton, Missouri, there receiving his edu-
cation. This Presbyterian institution
is one OF the oldest in Missouri. Lewis
taught school for four years after leav.
ing college, and was admitted to the
missouri bar on August "a, 1850. He

was defeated by only 81 votes.
In 1896 Lewis was again nominated for
| Congress, but later withdrew to accept
the nomination for governor rendered

ton. He devoted eleven weeks TO con.
tinual aggressive campaigning and
forced the Democrats and Populists to
fuse in order to avert certain defeat

This is the time to plan for a showy
oed for the lawn. An imposing group
may be secured in which the seeds
will not cost more than 25 cents. For
the center use a group of the castor oil
bean of ricinus. These plants grow six
TO eight feet high and have numerous
tropical looking leaves. some green,
some purple and others coppery
bronze. They grow quickly and luxu-
riantly and need little attention.
Around these plant seeds of araman-

has dark reddish foliage. shaded with

CONTINUED ERUPTIoNs.
Cinders Break Down Roofs and XIII
Hundreds.

Naples.-A frightful disaster has
occurred in the center of the city, fol-
lowing the eruption of Mount Vesu-
vius. Two hundred people, it is esti-
mated, were buried Monday morning
in the ruins of the Market Monte Oil
veto, when the roof collapsed under
the weight of cinders from the vol
cano. The exact number of people
within the building at the moment of
the catastrophe is not known, and the
list of fatalities is problematical.
Terrifying news is reaching the city
from points throughout the district sur
rounding Ottajano. Reports indicate
that an enormous area is buried be-
meath ashes and cinders. The present
disaster is looked upon as repetition
of the catastrophe of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, except that in this in
stance ashes rather than lava cover
the devastated places and the loss of
life is less. According to information
received late Monday night, probably
as many as 500 lives were lost.
1t is said that more than 200 persons
perished in the district of San Gull
seppe, where from the ruins of a
church which collapsed owing to the
weight of ashes on the roof, forty-nine
corpses were extricated, and 1t Is as
serted that at Sorrento thirty-seven
persons were killed by falling houses.
Almost equal with the devastation
wrought by the lava is the damage
lone by cinders and ashes, of which
Incredible quantities have been car
led great distances. This has caused
he practical destruction of San Gui-
jeppS, a place of 5000 inhabitants.

S57,22S,291 in 1903, s31,747,229 in 1900,
and S16,233,456 in 1897, in which year
our imports from Cuba touched the
lowest point in the last half century.
The exports from the United States
to Cuba aggregated $44,569.S12,
against S23 3,504, All in 1903, S26,934 ,524
in 1900 and $7,296,613 in 1896. in
which year they were smaller than in
any preceding year in the last hall
century.
sugar ana mOlaSSeS, tODdcco, cigars
and fruits are the principal articles
forming the imports into the United
States and Cuba. The value of sugar
imports in 1905 was over s72,000,000;
molasses, s1,097, ,153; leaf tobacco, s11,
s79,93s; cigars, s3.s55,S20; fruits. 81,
236,O2S, of which all but s5,SO3 repre-
sented the value of bananas; and iroI
ore, 1882, $50.
The exports to Cuba include flour.
s5G7, 900; cattle, s1.5S7 ,234; bituminous
coal, s1,408, ,770; cotton cloth. S1,212,-
319: boots and shoes. s1,5S6,790; lard,

s4sO,93s; milk, s647,926; lumber. 81
001,214.
BY far the larger group of articles in
the exports to Cuba is that of iron and
