people to elect United States sena-

Even in so restricted an area as
Indiana the crop reports at this time
Of the year are largely speculative. as
is shown by the reports which The
News gathered. Every week, every
day even, the expectation is that the
season has opened and that the una
usual delay of spring has ended. But
"spring comes slowly up this way
this year and we can only guess wha.
the future may bring forth. While
there was damage in April beyond
question it must be borne i'll mind
that comparisons of crop expecta-
tons are made on last years wheat
yield, which was unusual, and that
there might still be great harm done
apparently, and yet something like
an average crop be left. Another
thing that the event generally proves
to be true is that damage is always
greater before hand; what looks like
ruin turns out to be only partial de
.terioration Nature has way of saw
ing something to tide over which
only fails in exceptional cases. And
we might have even three-quarter
crop of wheat in this State and still
do we'll
On account of replowing it is ex-
pected that the corn and oats acreage
will be larger than it was last year
and that what has been lost in one
crop will be made up in another, corn
and oats being replanted in land
where early oats and clover had been
killed 1t appears therefore at this
time that there will be an average
crop so that the total loss due 10 un-
toward weather, will be less than was
at first supposed. The fruit crop, i;
is conceded, has the slimmest pros
pect. But this means less pecuniarily
to the farmer and personally is more
deprivation of a luxury than a ne
cessity In these days of improved
transportation much of our fruit
comes from other regions and the
loss will be less felt than the failure
of staple crop. Garden planting is
late and the weather is still so colo
and growth is so slow that what ma,
be the outcome is problematical. The
season is so late all round that al
that can be said is that in what shall
still come lies the conclusion. Will
warm, growing weather postponed
still later the outlook will be less anc
less favorable, and the eyes of tn,
farmer are turned still to the skie.

Do You Want to Know
What You Swallow t?

There Is a growing sentiment in this
country in favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN
COMPOSITION. It is but natural that one
should have some interest in the compo--
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add to
the well-earned reputation OF his medi-
cines, DIR. X. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has wtaken time by the forelock," as it
were. and is publishing broadcast list
of all the ingredients entering into his
leading medicines, the vGolden Medical
Discovery the popular liver invigorator,
regulator; also of his uFavorite Prescrip-
tom for weak, over worked, broken
down, nervous and invalid women.
This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part of DIR. Pierce, has. by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all
harping critics who have heretofore un-
Justly attacked them. A little pamphlet
has been compiled, from the standard
medical authorities of all the several
schools of practice, showing the strongest
endorsements by leading medical writers
of the several ingredients which enter into
Dr. Pierce's medicines. A copy OF this
little book is mailed free to any one de-
string to learn more concerning the valu-
able, native, medicinal plants which enter
into she composition Of DR.. Pierce's med
Icines. Address DIR. Pierce as above.

Two TRUSTEES Escape.

Canon City, Colo.-Two TRUSTEES at
the penitentiary, who had been stop
ping at one of the prison farms three
miles east of the prison, decided they
wanted more freedom. and made their
escape. taking two of the prison farm
horses to assist them. The animals
returned to the farm. but as they we're
not found until within the city limits
they gave no trace as to the direction
they had travelled. They showed they
had been driven hard.
The prisoners are Charles Schrode,
No. $685., and ]. E. Greer, $500. Both
were employed as teamsters, and with
five or six other convicts had been per-
mitted to stay at the farm several
weeks under the guard of Jerry Mo-
ran.
Schrode is twenty-four years of age
and was sentenced from Boulder
county for larceny for term of from
three to four years. He is reported to
have been a convict at the State Re-
formatory at Buena Vista before COM
ing here. Greer is thirty-four years old
and was sent from Clear Creek county
Tor grand larceny. He was serving a

When one has found a suitable lit
tie playmate. preferably a child be-
tween three and eight years of age,
and commences TO tickle 1t, what hap.
pensf In the first place, replied DR..
Douis Robinson. famed for his re
searches into zoology, It becomes
quite evident that unless the child is
in a playful and responsive mood 1t
cannot be tickled. II It be unwell. or
III a stranger or one whom the child
fears or dislikes attempts to tickle 1t,
there is no response except resent
ment at an unwelcome interference.
But as soon as a satisfactory under
standing is established, the little one
laughs and wriggles with delight. Al
though each movement is an elaborate
avoidance OF contact, there is q con-
tinual invitation to repeat the tickling.
Practically all children. In fact, both
by word of mouth and act, show plenty
of evidence of enjoyment OF the game.
and invite its continuance indefinitely.
Hence. one may say that there exists
a distinct appetite for tickling. This.
upon close investigation. proves to be
as marked and real as any OF the rec
ognized animal appetites (all OF
which. by the way, have an immediate
bearing on the continuance of the in
dividual or of the race). This appe-
tite for tickling has this in common
with the other appetites, declares Cur
rent literature. that there are times
when desire is absent and provoca-
don fails to take effect. Like the re-
fiexes associated with the gustatory
nerve, which makes part of the appe-
tite for food the activity of which de-
pends upon whether we are hungry or
the reverse, the reflexes that accom-
pany ticklishness are intermittent

MORE BOOSTERS ARE WANTED.
Every Citizen Of Colorado Should Be a
Committee Of One to Stand Up
for State.

Denver.-"California is one OF the
best advertised states In the Union
and the greater part of this advertis-
ing has been done since the California
promotion committee, which aims TO
advance every section OF California,
was organized in 1902" remarked
James Young OF the Colorado state
Commercial Association. He said
This promotion committee mas peen
in existence only five years, but the
work 1t has done has brought results,
and the consequence is that on every
side in the East the word has gone
forth that California is the Mecca OF
| those dissatisfied with their homes In
other states.
Colorado has more resources than
Californians ever credited their state
with. There is one thing, however,
that California has that Colorado has
not at the present time and that is the
public spirit of practically every one
of It's citizens, which is aiding the Cali
fornia promotion committee in their
work of building up the state. When
this same public spirit actuated the
minds OF Coloradoans and they aid the
work of the Colorado State CONNER
cial Association, then the state will
have greater era OF prosperity than
the Pacific Coast commonwealth.
1.-THE California promotion commit
tee, instead of being composed of a
few men, is composed of every citizen
of the state. and the publicity work
of the committee, in consequence, Is
something immense. The citizens OF
California, when they are interested
in an enterprise of any moment or
when they have what, In newspaper
parlance. is called a story, immeditely
inform the promotion committee and
that committee does the rest. AS
result the papers are filled with the
happenings of California cities and
California enterprises, written up in
newspaper style and printed free of
charge by papers in all parts of Amer
lea as straight, legitimate news, which
1t is, in addition to being good adver-
tising for the state.
"The Colorado State Commercial As
sociation aims to do the same work, or
even better work, as there is more OPP
portunity here, and desires the coop
Grafton of editors of county papers,
business men and men OF all classes.
Any enterprise of moment is worth a
story, any unusual crop report would
be gladly printed by the papers, any
happening out of the ordinary is worth
writing up and could be printed in the
Colorado or Eastern papers. Thus at
tention would be called to Colorado.
and settlers, investors and tourists
would have their attention directed
this way to the great advantage of the
state.
"The methods that have won out in
California are worth trying in Colo
rado, and the results would more than
repay business men and others for the
time 1t would take them to let the
publicity bureau of the Colorado State
Commercial Association know of the
many interesting events that come to
their attention"

Carrying a Load of Peaches.

Grand Junction, Colo.-With Grand
Junction. 1905" as their slogan, one of
the most representative delegations
ever sent out from Grand Junction left
over the Colorado Midland in a special
car Monday for Greeley to attend the
annual meeting of the Colorado Com
mercial Association. The local delega-
ton will wage vigorous campaign to
secure the next convention of the Or
ganization for this city and also to eff
feet reorganization of the asso-
citation, so that equal representation
will be given to every part of the state.
The delegation which consists of
more than twenty-five business
men from the various points
in the Grand Valley, chartered a
special Pullman sleeper. On the sides
of the car streamers were strung with
the sscription Grand Valley Special
to the Greeley Convention" In addi-
ton to these each of the delegates
wore a neat ribbon streamer badge,
on which appeared in red letters, The
Grand Valley never fails"
A cut of peach formed the decora-
ton of the badge. In the Pullman
sleeper was loaded a large quantity
of luscious fruit. and at every place
where the train stopped this was
handed out.
