Denver as nothing else would.
This is the opinion of John Clay of
Chicago, who is in Denver for few
days ON business. Mr. Clay is one of
the successful business men OF the
country. He has been identified with
the live stock business in the West for
about thirty-three years and is the
head OF the firm of Clay. Robinson Co.
which has branch houses all over the
country. Mt. Clay has financial inter
ests in Colorado, being Interested in
banks and live stock, and is the head
OF the Western Ranches Company, one
of the few remaining great cattle cor
porations of the Northwest He is an
authority on live stock and financial
matters and predicts that Denver will
some day be one of the greatest live
stock and packing centers in the
country.

to the opportunities that surround this
state, said Mr.. clay. at mas taken Il

HOCH CUTS KNOT.
Governor Solves Judicial Tangle
i'm Seventh District.
Will Ask Judge Stillwell to Re-
tain Position.
STATES HIS POSITION.
Executive Says Present Judge
Should Say.
Entitled to Vacation and Ought
to Take One.

Governor E, w. Hoch will cut the
Gordian knot of the Seventh judicial
district appointment by asking Judge
Leander Stillwell of Erie to withdraw
his resignation and retain the position
which he has held SO satisfactorily for
the past "a years.
All four of the candidates for Judge
Stillwells position are in Topeka to-
day, and Governor Hoch has presented
the matter to Them. They are said to
be unanimous in their expression that
Judge Stillwell should be retained in
the position If possible.
Judge Stillwell resigned because of
the illness of his wife; which made it
tention> than he could and still dis
charge his duties on the bench.
- When asked this morning concerning
the rumor that Judge Stillwell would be
asked to withdraw his resignation, Gov
ernor Hoch said:
Yes, 1 expect to- ask Judge still
well to retain the place. 1t seems to
me that it is fitting that a man of
should be allowed to take a vacation,
If he needs it. He has served his dis
trict faithfully for "a years, and now
that misfortune has come to his fam
lily, and he is unable to give his full
time to the duties of his office, I think
he deserves to be allowed a leave of
absence. judge pro tenn can be ap-
pointed to serve the remainder of Judge
y
the election time comes, if Judge Still
we'll is still unable to take UP the du-
ties of the office, the people of the dis
trict can decide what they want to do
about it, Judge Stillwell has served his
people faithfully, and l suppose has not
accumulated much property. His has
not been a high salaried position. The
people of the district 1 believe will want
to stand by him now that he is in trou-
ble."
The four candidates, for the position
of judge of the Seventh district are all
of Wilson county, who, said he wasn't
coming to Topeka, arrived in town this
forenoon and had an interview with
Governor Hoch this afternoon. All four
of the candidates were at the gover-
nor's waiting room at one time this
morning. J. w. Finley of Neosho
county was the first to go into the
governors private office. Before he
went in. he said that he intended to

In police court Saturday evening
the officers who participated in the
scheme to secure evidence against the

corning their part in the transaction.
Two detectives stated on the stand
that they had visited the place In

Hutton said that the keeper of the
house asked him to sign the register.
but he refused. Chief Eaton was also
in the house and the inmates did not
recognize him, owing to a disguise
Mrs. Mary Donley, who has lived at

Elsie FurgeSOn was fined, and is still

the police made a date with on the

was no evidence against her. She
was not in the house when the raid
was made, and was arrested later
when, learning that her mother was

up with the others during the night.

ARM BEAUTTFYING.
Suggestions for Improving the Broom
stick Variety.

There is no real reason why an ell
bow should be knobby. A little cream,
some powder and the rest cure for
those elbows would work wonders in
81 very short time.
There are three arm exercises that
plump. the arms and make them
whittier. To perform these exercises
follow these Instructions:
Extend the arms at right angles to
the body. Slowly lift them until they
are over your head. Wave them as
though you were saving the air.
Lower them slowly and let them
hang at your sides one minute. Re
peat this exercise-it will whiten the
hands wonderfully.
"Take something in your hand, a
tambourine, book, or anything of
the kind. Lift your arms over your
head and hold the article as high as
you can reach.
Keep your arms up this way, ex-
tended above your head, while you
count ten. Take ten long deep breaths.
1t will make you feel very sleepy and
very rested, and it will do your chest
as we'll as your arms a. great deal of
good.
"Open your hands wide and fiat and
lay them upon something, palms up.
Let your fingers curl naturally; hold
your hands palms up; breathe long
and deeply; bend backward, lean your
hand against something and relax"
says a beauty doctor in The New York
Sun. .--
-"Sit this way for three whole min
.utes. You will feel the blood go down
through your arms and hands in
healthy, pleasant manner which is in
describa bic.
1.-The arm exercises are the secret
of pumping the arms. But it isn't
plumpness alone that a woman wants.
She wants pair of arms that are of
the right complexion.
"Arns that are shaped like broom
sticks can be made presentable by a
little manipulation.
1.-The beauty specialist who treats
such arms has way of rubbing them
white with a cooling cream.
"She takes them in the middle of the
afternoon and creams them. She lifts
them UP until the blood all runs out of
them. leaving them snow white. Then
she messages them until the veins let
up their pressure little, and she loos-
ems the arnholes of the gown until
sure that the hands will not be de-
prived of their circulation.
"'rhe beauty expert has some white
wash cream which she rubs into the
pores. after Which she puts on great
deal of powder. One can powder the
arms if one does it early in the even
ing BY the time one goes out the
powder will have worn off to just the
right amount
