Without a nationsl bank closing

age of available cash resources, at
the mead in mineral production and
sugar raising, without q halt in de-
velopment or building, and with an

Danger For Colorado Republicans.
1t has heretofore been considered
that the republican party would have
an easy victory in Colorado this year,
but new element has just appeared
in the political situation that de-
maui is serious consideration. The
democrats have just kicked overheard
their Jonah, T. NJ. Patterson, and
he is making violent threats to break
into the republican ranks and sup
port our candidates. While We be-
iieve the party is in strong enough
position to win this year even with
this great handicap, still NO chance
should be taken. If possible csndi-
dates should be chosen whose past
record on the Patterson question is
such as to make it impossible for
"Old Perp' exity" to swallow them.
If We furnish an asylum for Pstter-
son, we may yet have Haywood on
our hands.

Raising Tho Money.

Among the Illinois towns voting
"dry" last week was Hillsboro, and
the Montgomery News, published at
that place and supporting the "dry"
side of the question published the
following among the proceedings of
the council Immediately following
the election:
"The question of how 70 raise
money to take the place Of saloon
license money was discussed at length
and several suggestions were made
and some will be adopted, just ss hes
been done in other dry towns. These
cash producing schemes are - fol-
lows:
"lst. Apoll IA. of $3.50 will be
levied against every male voter and
same will be placed in the hands Of
fshe city slsrk with orders 10 collect
and to sus sseh unpaid account. It
is expected this will yield . revenue
Of $500.
"2nd. A draymsn's license will be
passed which will yield . revenue Of
about $500.
"3d. A wheel tax will be ordered
whereby esoh man owning . rig will
be compelled to take out . license.
The cost of this license will bs ol S.
ed according 70 the amount Of use to
which the various kinds Of rigs are
put. It is estimated that there are
400 rigs in Hillsboro, and such tax
will yield about $1,000.
"4th. A business mons snd man.
ufacturers tax will be made and sach
man in business will be required 70
pay license according to the amount
invested and it is thought such . tax
will yield Q revenue of not less than
$500. There will bs . great many
kicks rsgistered against the proposed
methods Of raising money, but it
must be remembered that the saloons
haee been voted out and somebody
must make up the deficiency. Take
your medicine Mr.. Taxpayer"

Bryan Any Old Time.

A democrat from Rocky Ford was
in wn last Sunday to hear Bryan
preuch. After hearing the address
on tle "Signs of the Times" he an
nounced that he was going to vote

his somewhat astonished republican
friend propounded the query, "Why f''
he replied, "Oh, we'll, want change

No Answer.

The New York World on Friday
repeated the query SO often put by
it to William Jennings Bryan. The
World questions:
What states did yoC lose 10 1895
which you could carry in 1908f
What electoral votes did you lose
in 1900 which you could win in 1908
What elements of dissatisfaction
and discomfort did you fail to arouse
then which you could successfully
appeal to nowS
Neither Mr.. Bryan or his most en-
thusiastic admirers have attempted
to answer this query. The logic OF
The World may be correctly assumed
to be unanswerable.- Far

SEASON WILL
CLOSE MONDAY
LEGISLATURE WILL BE ASKED
TO PASS A Law PROTECTING
PRAIRIE CHICKENS UNTIL NO.
VEMBER /.

The open season for grouse, prai-
rie chickens and quail will close in
Idaho next Monday, and sportsmen
generally in all sections Of central
Idaho report poor hunting.
The scarcity OF game IL unex-
plained by both hunters and farmers.
but the legislature will be asked to
pass a new law providing for the
protection of prairie chickens for a
period OF years or keeping the sea-
son closed until November 1.
The season for grouse opens
August Is and the law permits the
taking OF prairie chickens between
September 1 and December /. The
month of November is the only time
that quail can be legally killed. Be
fore the opening of the season last
summer farmers reported prairie
chickens in large numbers but when
the hunting commenced the birds
were found to be very scarce In all
sections. The plowing OF the sum-
mer fallow land late in the spring
destroys many nests and the scatter
ing of poisoned wheat is believed to
be responsible for the destruction Of
many Of the old birds.
Whatever the cause may be the
prairie chickens are practically ex-
terminated in the Lewiston country
is the report made by both hunters
and sportsmen and united effort
will be made to secure the passage
Of such laws as will protect these
birds until the country Is restocked
The habits of the quail and the
shortness of the season will protec.
these birds from determination for
all time. az the bushy canyons where
the birds resort when pressed by
hunters viii protect them.

IS GUILTY

VERDICT OF JURY IN LAMpHERE
CASE-GETS FROM 2 TO 21I
YEARS IMPEACHMENT. $1,000
FINE AND DISFRANCHISCD.

La Porte. Ind. Nov. 27.-Ray
Lamphere, charged with the murder
OF Mrs. Belle Guinness and her three
children by setting fire to the Gum
ness house. was found guilty Of ar
son last night by the jury, which
had deliberated since $3.50 o'clock
the night before. Within Ave min
utes after the verdict the defendant
was sentenced to the state prison at
Michigan City for an indeterminate
term OF from two to p years, fined
$1,000 and was disfranchised for fiye
years.
Attorney Worden, for the defense.
said that motion for a new trial
would be made, and should it be re-
FUSED, an appeal to the Indiana su-
preme court would follow. The In
diana supreme court is two years
behind in it's work, so this case
could not be reached until after he
had served the minimum time of his
sentence. Mr.. Worden declared the
verdict to be ridiculous.
If he was guilty at ALL" said the
attorney. "he was guilty of murder.
He should have been acquitted. The
motion for new trial will be based
on the judges instructions that a
jury could find Lamphere guilty OF
arson"
Should the case be carried to the
supreme court and sent back for re-
trial. Lamphere could not be tried on
any charge in this particular case
except arson, the crime for which
he was convicted. However, In an
event Of that kind the state would
elect to try him on one OF the In
dictments. probably. /, the Helgeleip
case.
Members Of the Jury are reticent
In discussing what occurred in the
jury room, but enough has been
learned to know that but for two
members Lamphere would have been
found guilty of murder or man
slaughter. the verdict being a COM
promise. Several members of the
jury held out for murder in the first
degree, with a life sentence. So far
as could be learned none was for
hanging.

CIVIL CASES ON TRIAL.
Stofer VI. Heitfeld and Dubois Is
Case Up Today.

The suit of George H. Storer VS..
Henry Heitfeld and Fred T. Dubois
came up for heariug this morning.
This is suit for money advanced
to the defendants to secure options
when the defendants and their assO-
ciates, James G.. Trainer and others.
were seeking to promote the Waha-
Lewiston irrigation scheme in 1903.
George II. Storer, as first witness
this morning, detailed the circum-
stances under which the advance of
money was made. He said that on
September 9, 1903. an option of
$4,000 became due and that a visit
t. the Lewiston National bank dis
closed the fact that but $4,000 was
sc mt to Senator Dubois by Mr.. Train
er. After a conference between Sen
ator Heitfeld and Mr.. Storer the lat
ter agreed to furnish the $4,000 that
was lacking IL Senators Heitfeld and
Dubois would be responsible for the
return Of the money to the plaintiff
in 10 days. Senator Dubois, in Spo-
kane at the time. was called up over
the telephone and consented to the
deal. The money was not returned
and the present suit is for its recov-
cry with interest from tn edate of
the loan.
The cross s-examination of Mr.. Stor-
er by Attorney McNamee laid down
the lines of the defense, which are
evidently an attempt to prove that
the plaintiff advanced the money
with an understanding that he was
to have a block of the stock as a
bonus. and was later made secretary
of the corporation which was organ
lied to handle the deal.
F. NJ. Rynerson and Bessie Brom-
baugh. held to answer to the charge
Of adultery, were before the court
this morning and their cases were
continued for the term.
In the case of Frank Richert VS..
Mary Richert, decree of divorce
was granted according to the prayer
Of the complaint.
On motion of the defendant the
case of J. Howard Howe VS.. George
T. Miller, executor of the estate Of
c A. Coryell, was dismissed. The
court sustained the demurrer and
the plaintiff did not desire to amend
the complaint.
