RECIPE AS REPEATED
BY REQUEST

Some remarkable stories are
being told about town and among
the country people coming in of
this simple homemade mixture
curing Rheumatism and Kidney
trouble. Here are the reel pc and
directions for taking: Mix by
shaking well in a bottle, one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one ounce Compound kargon,
three ounces Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla. Take as a dose one
teaspoonful after meals and at
bedtime.
No charge need be made in your
usual diet, but drink plenty of
good water.
This mixture, writes one au-
thority in a leading Philadelphia
newspaper, has a peculiar tonic
effect upon the kidneys; cleansing
the clogged-up pores of the elm
NATIVE tissues, forcing the kid
neys to sift and strain from the
blood the uric acid and other pois-
onous waste matter, overcoming
Rheumatism, Bladder and Urin-
ary troubles in short while.
A New York druggist who has
had hundreds of calls for these in
gradients since the first announce
ment in the newspapers last Oc-
tober stated that the people who
once try it "swear by it," espe-
cially those who have Urinary and
Kidney trouble and suffer with
rheumatism.
The druggists in this neighbor-
hood say they can easily supply
the ingredients, which are easily
mixed at home. There is said to
be no blood cleansing agent or
system tonic better known, and
certainly none more harmless or
simple to use.

AS GOVERNOR

Chairman John F. Vivian of the
Republican state committee yes
terday made this statement for
publication:
"The name of former Governor
Jessee F. Mcdonald will be pre-
sented to the next Republican
state convention for the guberna-
torial nomination. The state or
ganiZation indorses Mr.. McDon-
aid. | further believe that Gov
ernor Mcdonald s name will be
the only one presented to the con-
vention. Personally, | am for Me
Donald first, last and all the time.
and believe if he is nominated his
election is assured. lie made an
ideal governor and will rule wise
ly again. l am sure he will accept
the nomination. A better selection
could not be made"
William G. Evans said Satur-
day night that he had not heard
of Mr.. Vivian's announcement,
but he intimated his approval in
the words. Mcdonald is very
good man. He added that it is
a little early for such an an
nouncement to be made.

been given up as impossible as
squarng the circle. 1t was alleged
that Speer was no longer a Dem

"Speer is outside the Republi-

left to take care of himself or die

Goldtield, New, Dec. lin the
Office of the Miner at Nina yester-
day afternoon j. II. Buck, the ed
itor, killed Francis l.. Burton, a
notorious bank wrecker, swindler
and bogus mining stock manipu-
lator. Recently Burton appeared
in Rawhide, the new gold mining
camp, and when he attempted to
begin operations he was conduct
ed out of the place by vigilance
committee. He had been warned
to leave town, but failed to take
the warning.
Buck is the owner of the Raw

deportation of Burton there APP
peared in the Rustler a long ac.
count of the incident.
Buck, who is also the owner of
the Nina Miner, was in his Office
when Burton appeared and de-
manded an explanation. He was
fully armed and threatened to kill
the editor. Hot words passed be-

drawn, and Buck fired first, Bur-

Fatten on Beet pulp.

The value of beet pulp in fat
tening cattle is to be tested by
Hans Won Hagen, the big stock
man of this country, this winter.
He has shipped 400 head of cattle
to Fort Collins and they will be
fattened for the spring markets.
Mr.. Won Hagen says the pulp
costs but 30 cents ton and cattle
do better than on any feed he
has yet seen. 1t is surprising the
way they put on flesh. He is the
first Montrose county stock grow
er to adopt this method of feed
ing, and his success will likely be
followed by others.
This is but another illustration

THE TAYLOR VIGILANTEs.

Concerning the meeting on
Thursday of the Democratic state
advisory committee appointed by
Senator Taylor of Glenwood, the
Denver Republican has the follow
ing to say:
eff oratory could win elections
the Republican party would be in
sad plight in Colorado. Seven
or eight Democrats met at the
Shirley hotel as an advisory com
mittee to the state organization
and they took several hours to
view with alarm There was
nothing that could with pride be
pointed to. Down at the city hall
there is a mayor who has been do
ing nobly, and, although he was
| elected as a Democrat, he is one
no longer, according to the Demo
cratic state convention and the
two organs of Democracy, So
called, on Welton street. Never
theless, there was oratory fit to
launch the Lusitania.
"Charles S. Thomas, weighted
always with an excess of brain
matter, talked the 'undefiled
He is not an optimist, but he saw
a CLINT here and there. And when
was done there appeared Senator
Tully Scott of Cripple Creek, born
to speak his piece with JUNCTION
and no little aplomb. The senator
is always a delight to the ear of
the artist.
Strange that party, an or
ganization, an advisory commit
tee, would think of committing
hari-kari by taking the square peg
in Scott and putting it in the
round hole at the head of the ad-
visory board for the present and
later to succeed to the place to be
vacated by Milton Smith, who has
graduated into the class from
which the party of the plain pee
pill cannot select a chairman Mr..
Smith belongs to the automobile
brigade.
"Then when the Grecian art of
Scott and the Socratian wisdom of
Thomas began to pail, appeared
Alva Adams, sui generis, suave,
hopeful, full of reading, a banker
boollman, who saw a glorious fu-
ture for Democracy in the sweet
bye and bye.
"This advisory committee some
times known as the Taylor Vigi-
lantes,' was appointed by Senator
Taylor as an aid to the state com
mittee. and this was It's first meet
ing. Those who took part were

Regarding Pardons Which He
Has Granted Since He
Took Office
DISCIPLINE IS BETTER

Denver. Dee. 10. - Governor
Buchtel does not agree that the
criticisms that are being directed
against him in regard to the par
dons which he has issued are just
In Il statement he compares the
number of pardons issued by him
self with those issued by other
governors and holds that he is
far below the average. The diff.
ference between Governor Buch-
tel and preceding governors per
haps arises from the fact that Gov.
Buchtel uses the holidays upon
which to issue pardons and thus
gives them greater Importance
than if they were issued Just as
they happen to occur, as was the
practice of preceding governors.
The following is his statement
concerning pardons:
"The impression has gotten
abroad that Governor Buchtel is
granting many more pardons than
his predecessors in office. He has
been in office now for nearly one
year and has granted nine par
dons to prisoners in the penitcn,
tiary at Canon City. Two of these
pardons We're given to men who
We're about to die. 1t seems to be
humane to give them an opportu-
nifty to die outside prison walls.
Three pardons have been granted
by Governor Harper, namely, one
for the Fourth Of July, one for
August l and one for November
9. The total list, then, for both
Governor Buchtel and Lieutenant
Governor Harper amounts to
twelve pardons at the Canon City
penitentiary. If another pardon
be given for Christmas day and
yet another for New Years day,
it would make fourteen pardons
in twelve months with a prison
population of nearly 700.
con Thanksgiving day the
warden remarked on the excep-
tionally good discipline which pre-,
walls at the penitentiary now. He
reported that the violation Of
prison rules has decreased so per
cent and that if the same ratio of
improvement is kept up until the
end of the biennial period, No.
vember 30, 1908, he would be
able to report to the governor the
best disciplined prison in the
United States. The number of
pardons granted by most former
governors has been many more
than the list here announced.
Records of Former Years.
cone governor gave 43 pardons
in two years. Another gave forty
pardons in two years. Still an
other gave siXty-six in the bien
NAL period, another gave seventy
two in the two years and another
gave forty-siX in two years
"The population at the peniten-
tiary was not as large at the times
here described as it is now. The
records of Governors Adams,
= Thomas, Orman and Peabody are
about the same as the record
which is being made by Governor
Buchtel. In the biennial period
when Governors Adams, Peabody.
Mcdonald and Parks were in Of
flee the record was not quite SO
high. They gave nieteen pardons.
Governor Buchtel gives much time
to the urgent requests which come
to him for pardons. Of course no
one can appreciate how many re
quests are refused. He is certain
that he has made no mistake in
. the pardons that have been grant
ed. And aside from the two dy-
ing men. only ten men have been
released from the Canon City pen
itentiary in the last ten months
by pardons. "
