Bumper Wheat Crop.

Fort Collins, Colo.-This years yield
of wheat is the best Larimer county
has ever produced. The general aver
age to the acre is better than fifty
bushels. j. A. Edwards, living five
miles east of Fort Collins, has just
thrashed a field of wheat which has
produced over seventy bushels an
acre, and it tested sixty pounds to the
bushel.
Charles Hotel of the Hotel mill
stated last night that the mill had been
purchasing considerable wheat al
ready and that it generally tested be-
tween fifty-nine and sixty pounds.
Some wheat, he says, has been brought
to the mill which tested as high as six
ty-two.
While the yields of this county are
as good as anywhere in the state, and
even better than in the majority of
places, it is reported here that prices
are not as high as at other places. AT
Greeley 20 cents a bushel is the pres.
ent average market price. The local
prices are S1.15 hundred for the De-
fiance wheat, s1.20 for Turkey and 81
for Macaroni. This is little less than
70 cents bushel.

Society Favorite Kills Himself.

Pueblo.-With the bedclothes pulled
over his head, scorched and powder
burned in his lifeless hand revolver,
through his mouth bullet hole, the
body of John l. Scott, twenty-five yeaH
of age, handsome, rich, society lion
and ranch owner, was found in bed in
his room at the Grand hotel here
Thursday. Scott had been drinking
heavily, it is said, and had spent his
money without stint lately. The last
seen of him was Wednesday morning
after he had entertained a large party
of friends in a cafe the night before.
Money troubles is the cause assigned.
Scott came here Tuesday morning
from Colorado Springs. He drank all
day. While standing in the hotel bar
chatting with the bartender he told
the attendant he had been spending too
much money and that he was in debt
He said he had spent 1900 at the Ant
lers hotel in Colorado Springs within a
week.
Scott was well known in society cir.
cluse in Denver and in this city. With
Leonard Curtis, son of millionaire, he
owned a ranch near Swallows, Colo

INDIAN HARD TO DOWN.
Pioneers Still Object to Using Figure
Of Poor Lo on Pedestal.

'Denver.-Will the figure of an Indian
be used on the pioneers monument to
be erected in Denver? That is the
question that is being settled at a Sc
ries OF conferences between the men,
bers of the real estate exchange monu-
ment committee and Frederick Mac
Monnies. the sculptor who designed
the figure.
Mr.. MacMonnies arrived unexpect-
edly from Paris to confer with the
committee over the design. There has
been some objection to the Indian fig
ure, and there is a possibility that the
artist will be asked to make a new de-
sign. Mr.. MacMonnies, however, likes
up his chosen theme without a hard
fight. He said that If the committee
insisted on a change he would make
an entirely new design, as it would be
impossible, from an artistic standpoint,
to substitute something else for the In
dian and retain the other parts of the
original plan. Furthermore, the sculp-
tor intimated that If he and the COM
mittee could not agree on a design
tnat accorded with his artistic ideas,
he would have nothing to do with the
monument at all.
Some time ago ]. S. Flower, chair
man of the monument committee, sent
out 1,100 circular letters to pioneers
and Sons of Colorado, asking for ex-
pressions of opinion on the Indian de-
sign. Three hundred replies were re-
ceived, of which 1876 were favorable to
the Indian design.
Mr.. MacMonnies is the designer of
many notable works in America and
Europe. Among the best known of his
American designs are the fountain at
the Chicago Worlds Fair, the McClel-
Ian monument at Washington, the Ma
than Hale monument at West Point
and the entrance to Prospect park at
Brooklyn.
Mr.. MacMonnies called on Mayor
Speer in company with Mr.. Reed, pres
ident of the art commission, and talked
over the proposed design with the
chief executive Of the city. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be no further op-
position to the Indian supreme.
Changing the dominant figure of the
monument would, in the estimation of
the sculptor, impair the whole.

viii Scale High Peak.

Pinedale, Wyo.-T. M. Bannon of
the United States geological survey,
who last year discovered peak in the
Wind River mountains higher than
Mount Fremont, formerly considered
the highest mountain in the state, will
attempt to make the ascent of this
peak next month. Last year he reached
a point 300 feet from the summit, but
had to stop when the draw he was fol
lowing ended in a precipice.
The new peak has been named Gan
nett and is 13,775 feet high.
Mr.. Bannon has also mapped the
only two living glaciers in the United
States, south of the Canadian borders.
One lies at the north base of Fremont
peak and the other northeast of the
big snow dome near the head of Green
river.

out of the race. The day was an ideal
one for yachting.

MENU FOR A PICNIC
SIMPLE BUT SATISFYING OUT.
DOOR REPAsT.
Clipped Beef with Cream Gravy Cook.
ed Over ampfire-Griddle Cakes
of Sour Milk Jumbles
with Fruit.

A good idea for a picnic adjacent
to buildings where things did not have
to be carried far was recently carried
Philadelphia Ledger. While the menu
is not elaborate, everything being
fresh and wholesome, the repast was
voted great success.
Permission was given to build a
fire In a grove. A large iron frypan
was carried out, in which to make
Clipped beef with cream gravy. Coffee
was made also, and ham was served
cold. Good, fresh bread and sweet
butter and Saratoga chips went with
these. and the repast was completed
by fresh berries and baked custards.
1t was all good farm fare, nothing ex-
pensive. and yet every one said it was
nice and pleasant little picnic, with
out much preparation.
Good sour milk or cream should be
utilized for griddle cakes or ginger
bread. Because in the south 1t is hard
to keep milk, servants from that Sec
tion do not know how to use it as well
as the cooks from Ireland and Great
Britain, who evolve SO many nice
breakfast and tea cakes from the 9TH
erwise waste product of the dairy.
The old stone springhouses about
Philadelphia are inviting with great
pals of cream in the clear, cold water.
One recently seen was within the very
city, spot soon to be destroyed, and
oh. the pity, to- see the cool stone
springhouse and the great stone house
give way to modern, cheap brick rows,
without grounds.
Lemon and rose water together are
especially nice for rich jumbles, to eat
with fruit. For this purpose a fine
plain white cake or lady cake is also
suitable. 1t is mistake to serve cho-
colate cake and little cakes with
chocolate icing, with everything of
decided flavor. This is right with
blanc manges, cornstarch and vanilla
ice cream, but out of place with high
favored fruits
Black raspberries are now in mar
ket. Many persons prefer the flavor
to that of the red raspberries, but dis
like them because the seeds are apt
to be coarser. They are nice stewed
and served very cold. Although this
is not cherry year, provided you can
spare some cherries, sour ones, the
combination will be found nice. Like
al stewed fruits, the juice is the best
part. Fruit juice strained off and
served on Clipped ice is delicious at
this or any other season. Use wine
glasses or small tumblers.

REEVES AND kISER, BOULDER
SUSPECTS, WILL REPUDIATE
CONFESSION, 1T is SAID.
T0DECLARE INNOCENCE
ATTORNEYS RETAINED AND
STATE WILL BE COMPELLED
TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE.

Boulder, Colo.-J. w. Reeves ant
Frank kiser will plead not guilty to
the charge of murder, and, in all prob
ability, to the charge of arson. when
their preliminary hearing and trial are
held. and they will repudiate their al
legged confession and compel the state
to submit evidence at the trial, accord
ing to w. G. Houston, one of the attor-
neys for Reeves and Kiser.
The Two men are still in solitary con-
finement in the Boulder county Jail.
where they have been incarcerated
since Tuesday night Aside from the
officers no one has seen either of them
with the exception of their attorney,
W. G. Houston, Mrs Nellie Kiser and
Constable Joe Bailey. Thursday morn
ing the latter served a process on XII
ser, In which he attached for local
merchandise firm the wages due Kiser
from the Colorado & Northwestern
railroad. The claim was for $33. Bailey
was allowed to hold no communication
with the men aside from the business
on hand, Kiser telling him that his
mother would settle the bill
Attorney w. G. Houston of Boulder
is representing both men, and made
the following statement:
Both men will plead not guilty to
the charge of murder, but so far have
not said that they won't plead guilty to
the charge of arson. l think, however,
that they will not plead guilty to either,
and that the alleged confessions will
be repudiated. l saw Reeves and XII
ser for the first time Wednesday after
noon. Kiser had engaged Tom Her
rington of Denver, and Mrs. Kiser, his
mother, has engaged me, while Reeves
has engaged Oscar Johnson of Boulder
and myself. So far as know no other
attorneys have been engaged or will be
secured. Kiser engaged Mr.. Herring
ton in Denver, thinking at that time
that the trial would be held there"
Mrs. Kiser, who is now back In Boul
der, having returned from Denver to
be near her son, is quite composed af-
ter having talked with him, and thinks
that even if Frank is alleged to have
confessed TO have committed the deed
that he could not have been in his
right mind at the time the alleged act
was committed. She believes that he
told some things in the alleged confes-
sion that are not as straight as they
might have been, and which will be
Strengthened out at the trial. She fur
ther believes that If the alleged con-
fession was made it was done in order
to get rid of further questions.
Houston said further: Reeves told
me that he would not plead guilty to
the charge of murder, and that he
would stand on the proof.
When Reeves saw me he said: I
made no confession until the fourth
day after my arrest. and then only af.
ter constant sweating and when
found l couldn't get any assistance
from outside.
Reeves referred me to some friends
of his in Denver, where he lived off and
on for four years, and all stated that
the mans habits were good aside from
his one failing of drink

Solitude Not Everything.

Solitude is all right for mental pol
fish, but If you would learn those
sweeter lessons of the heart-love,
sympathy, usefulness and good nature
you must be among your fellow
creatures and share their heartaches.
