The growing OF asparagus on a
large scale should especially appeal
to ranchers about Canon City. The
soil here is particularly adapted to Its
growth and 1t can easily be made one
of the most remunerative OF our
crops. There Is always q market for
1t at good price and there Is no
danger of an overplus In Its production
The canning company Is endeavoring
to promote Its cultivation here, and
will agree to take all that can be

Prof. Olin's work Is with the grains
and cereals and is of extreme interest
to agriculturists. For instance, he
has thirty-six varieties of alfalfa or
lucerne, which he has gathered from
all parts of the world for experimental
purposes He is endeavoring to dis
cover which of these varieties Is the
best suited for Colorado, or for par
ticular sections of the state. While
alfalfa to the majority of people is
simply alfalfa, there Is a great differ
ence in it, according to Prof. Olin. in
fact. he says it is as dissimilar as any
of the varieties of grains.
Another line of experimental work
that was explained to the visitors by
Prof. Olin was his endeavor by means
of natural selection to find varieties
of grains that will grow higher up
the mountain side than any now
known, also to discover, If possible,
new variety of grain that will grow
farther out on the plains than any
with which we are now familiar. A
good deal of experimental work, and
with marked degree of success, is
done at the Agricultural College in
dry farming. The best orchard that
the Fremont county delegates saw
was on piece of land that had never
been irrigated and had never been
given any water, except what is re-
ceived from natural precipitation.
They grow good crops at Fort Col
lins with about one third the volume
of water used here for irrigating the
same kind of crops.
The work of Profs. Paddock and
Gillett in horticulture and entomology
is so well known throughout the state
to need no commendation at this time,
suffice to say that they are among the
most valuable men connected with
the Agricultural College. and that
they have no superiors in their spec
ial departments anywhere in the west
The remarkable growth of the Color
ado State Agricultural College at Fort
Collins during the last. few years Is
due in a very large measure at least
to Dr. Aylesworth, its president, and
to the gathering about him Of fac
ulty of instructors, which Is, in short.

The Fremont county delegates to
Fort Collins were J. p. Farmer, Geo.

OPENING OF ROOF GARDEN AT
MILLER'S MONDAY NIGHT

The opening of the roof garden at
'Millers" Monday night was in every
respect a most successful affair and
was an earnest of its popularity as a
public resort during the summer sea-
son. The roof garden with the tea
and reception rooms on the second
floor were thronged with visitors
throughout the evening who had ac-
cepted invitations to attend their dedi-
cation.
Miss Ethel Joel and Miss Helen
Thompson served punch and cake in
the tea room to the guests while an
orchestra played for their delectation
on the top floor.
The rooms on the second floor are
handsomely fitted up in the Japanese
style and are a charming place for
private entertainments of any kind.
The view from the roof garden is
superb and a panorama of the town
and its environs unfolds itself upon
the vision. the like OF which can be
had nowhere else. The roof garden
and tea rooms will be open to the pub
lie at all times except Sunday, un-
less engaged for private use. A large
party was given at the roof garden
Wednesday afternoon and 1t promises
to be in great demand for social gath
erings of various kinds. From 2:30
till 5 O'Clock each Monday afternoon
the candy and ice cream making de-
partments at "Millers" will be open
to their friends and patrons.

Responsible People.

DEOPLE occupying positions OF high
I responsibility and trust are always
very busy people.
They have little or no time to devote
to side issues.
Its therefore very rare that such peo-
Pile are willing to write testimonials for
anything.
Then again there Is a natural diff
dence in giving public endorsement to
any commercial enterprise on the part
OF people who are much before the
public.
Rare Endorsements.
1t Is thus that 1t is very rare that pub.
lie officials, like governors. congress
men, consuls, senators, ETC., give public
endorsement TO . proprietary medi-
cine.
1t 10 therefore . great triumph that
Peruna has the unqualified endorse
ment Of so many men in official posi-
ton.
Scores Of public officials OF national
reputation have enthusiastically de-
clared in favor Of PerunA in public
print over and over again.
A Startling Fact.
There 10 no way to account for such .
startling fact A. this except that Peruna
has extraordinary unususl merit.
After all, people high and low. are
constituted very much alike.

GREEK ACCIDENTALLY Killed
At CALCITE, COLORADO

Coroner C. H. whitmore was called
to Calclte. near Howard. on Tuesday
to inquire into the death of Dimiton
Slifanoff. a Greek miner. who was ac-
cidentally killed Monday afternoon by
falling rock while employed at the
limestone Quarries OF the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company at that place.
While at work large rock fell on
Slifanoff. fracturing his skull and kill
ing him instantly. Deceased was %
years OF age and was married. his wife
and son living at Discot, Bulgaria.
SlifanofI had two hundred md fifty
dollars In his pocket at the time OF
the accident. the greater part OF which
will be sent to his wife. Towards his
burial expenses the Colorado Fuel &
Iron Company gave twenty-five dol
lars: his companions contributed
similar amount and the remainder was
taken from his purse. The funeral was>
conducted by the Rev. Cal. Papageor-
gopulus. priest in charge OF the Greek
congregation at Pueblo. II was so man
ifest that the death OF Slifanofi was
due to an accident that Mr.. Whitmore
did not consider a formal inquest nee
cessary.

leaving the work to his secretary and
stenographer. Secretary Montgomery
has two children, both infants. but
they had TO see the circus at all four
performances and he left yesterday
and hasn't been back. The work Of
reading the applications and passing
on them then fell on assistant secre-
tary of the board OF pardons, Anna
G. Williams.
Mrs. Williams Is not lecturer be-
fore Chautauquas like Governor Buch-
tel. neither did she have any children
that ought to see the show. so there
was nothing left for her to do but to
read the letters and select for recon-
mendation the one to be pardoned.
She absolutely refuses to tell who
will be the lucky one, but whoever 1t
is, 1t would be safe to say that the
unlucky ones will take another chance
and write another letter at the next
holiday.
According to the promise made by
the governor the number of pardons
issued during his administration will
be very large. One for each holiday
means ten. The state board OF par
dons usually pardons direct or COM
mutes sentences to the extent that
they amount to pardons OF about 25
a year, All governors visit the in
stitution on an average of four times
a year. II carried out this would
make a total OF 80 pardons a year.

FOUGHT MAD DOG
FOR SCIENCE SAKE

for a desire to capture q scientific
prize, followed but a. few hours that
of Mrs. James Peden. who was bitten
by the dog, and whom the student
saved from a second attack and more
severe wounds by timely appear
ance. Mrs. Peden was bitten in the
thumb of the right hand.
Sunday morning young Eisenhart,
dressed for attendance at church, left
his home and passed in front of the
Peden home. AS he approached a
cry of terror came to his ears and he
reached the dwelling in time to see
the dog, a vagrant cur, crouching for
a second spring upon Mrs. Peden.
4 single cry of mad dog" coming
from the blanched lips Of Mrs. Peden,
was sufficient. Thoughts of the class
room laboratory were uppermOst in
Eisenhart's mind.
Leaping to the veranda of the
home, young Eisenhart cut short the
spring of the animal by grasping it's
hind legs. With a twist he had hurled

and fled within in terror.
Eisenhart might have followed the
example of the woman, but, deter
mined to secure subject for study,
he followed his advantage and re.
newed his attack on the dog before
it had recovered. One hand was
thrown to the animals throat and
with the other arm the daring stu
dent attempted to grasp the sinewy
body, intending to run at once to his
home to confne his subject" The
animal had other thoughts, and with
a turn twisted loose and buried his
teeth in the hands that clutched in
the vicinity of his shaggy throat.
Eisenhart, bleeding from his wound,
would probably have failed in his
of young man of the neighborhood,
who, in answer to his cries, went to
the rear of the dwelling and secured
rope. The dog, held down by a
hand and foot of Eisenhart, was las
sooed and tied beyond doing harm.
MSs. Peden and Eisenhart awaited
the result of the dissection of the
dogs head at the veterinary college
before seeking treatment by special
lists. The student was bitten the
more severely, Mrs. Peden having
felt the teeth of the animal once only
when she encountered him on the
veranda OF her home and attempted
to brighten him away. The dog
sprang for her throat, but reached a
hand thrown to ward off the frothing
nav.

dead man" REEVES:
GETS OUT OF COFFIN
"cORPSE" GOES TO TOWN, GETS
DRUNK AND RETURNS TO
SCARE FRIENDS.

Sheridan, Mont.-Henry Cowgirl, two
days after he was pronounced dead,
suddenly regained consciousness and
found himself laid out in a coffin all
ready to be buried, up in the noun
tains south of here
Cowgirl slowly climbed out of the
coffin and finding nobody else in the
cabin he set out on rather unsteady
legs for Twin Bridges, the nearest
town.
Cowgills two mining partners, be-
Geving him dead, had dressed his
body in his best suit of clothes that
morning, put it in the coffin, locked
the door Of their CABIN and set out for
town to make the necessary arrange
ments for the funeral.
They had not summoned physician
to make sure that their friend and
partner was dead, but they made a
thorough examination without discoy-
ering any signs of life and made no
question that they knew dead man
when they saw him. When they re-
turned from town that night after
having made all arrangements for the
funeral they found the door of the
cabin open and on entering the death
chamber they discovered that the cof-
fin was empty. They made a diligent
search of the premises, but could find
nothing to indicate what had become
of the body of Cowgirl.
The night was so far advanced
when they had concluded their search
that they decided to do nothing more
till morning, when they would go to
town, report what had happened and
ask for assistance in prosecuting the
search.
The next morning, however, the mys-
terry was solved by Cowgirl himself,
who, when his partners were at break
fast, suddenly opened the door of the
cabin and staggered in, with drawn
face and bloodshot eyes and added
brain. He was too drunk then to talk
intelligibly, but after two hours
sleep he got up and related to his
wondering partners what had hap
pened. On regaining consciousness
and finding himself alone in the cabin
he had set out for town, where he had
