eoy-pynamiter Pleads Guilty,

Denver.-Kemp v. Biglow pleaded
guilty to the four charges against him
in the West Side Court Saturday
when he was arraigned before Judge
Bliss. 1t was setting and pleading day
and it was the day on which 1t was ex-
pected that the date of Biglow's trial
would be set. When his name was
called, his attorney. D. b. Ellis, arose
and stated that he wished to withdraw
their former plea of not guilty and mo-
tions that he had previously filed, as
his client had decided to plead guilty.
Then Biglow arose, and, in calm
voice without any show of emotion
whatever, entered plea of guilty to
each of the four charges. The
charges were assault with intent to
kill Governor II. A. Buchtel, Lawrence
Phipps and C. b. Kountze and at
tempting to work a confidence game
upon C. B. Kountze.
Biglow was convicted when first
tried of committing simple assault up
on David H. Moffat, which is punish.
able by short Jail sentence The dis
trict attorneys office thought that the
boy was getting off with too light a
sentence and asked the court that the
verdict be set aside. This was done,
and he was at once rearrested on the
four charges mentioned above.
Biglow is the "boy-dynamiter." who
believed that he could send dynamite
to Denver's leading citizens and then
then tell them that their lives were in
danger and get, for doing this, large
reward.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

being good Starch. which has sufficient

The thoughtful always are thankful

The system of COMPRISING air by
falling water, as installed in several
places in the United States and Can
ada, is claimed to have an efficiency of
seventy-five to eighty-three per cent.
The water flows through a large hori-
Zontal pipe to a vertical one. at the
upper end of which is the circular loop
of an air pipe with great number OF
fine holes in its lower side. and as the
water drops past the ring innumerable
air bubbles are drawn along and com
pressed. At the bottom the water
turns suddenly and comes to rest in n
reservoir. into which the air rises un-
der pressure. The compressed air can
be drawn of as desired, and when the
reservoir is full any excess passes
away automatically with the water car
ried to the surface in an outflow pipe.
The difference of few feet in the
level OF the inflow and outflow pipes
gives rapid flow of water. while the
amount of compression depends en-
tirely ON the depth of the hole.
