BRASS BANDS PLAYING
PEOPLE BUSY DECORATING THE
STREETS AND BUILDINGS ALL
OVER THE CITY.

DEMONSTRATING early Sunday
morning. the anticipated influx of dele
gates, visitors and tourists began to
make itself apparent and Denver was
thrown wide open in welcome to the
army of strangers which will remain
few days within her gates.
AS each successive train deposited
its perspiring and enthusiastic pas
sengers on the depot platform, the re-
ception committee stationed there
would spring to meet them and see
that they were started on their way
to the quarters that had been prepared
for them in advance. Brass bands,
working in relays, saw to it that each
special and each regular train received
noisy. inspiring welcome, and was
conducted up the street with due pomp
and circumstance.
Mayor Speer was at the station as
head of the committee to welcome the
delegations from New York and Penn
sylvania. a long row of capacious. red
automobiles was drawn up In front of
the depot when the specials bearing
the delegations in question were due.
and when the delegates passed out
through the main doorway of the de-
pot, they were placed at once in the
big machines and rushed rapidly up
the street to their headquarters at the
Brown Palace. A slight detour around
the main downtown streets was in
dulged in on the way, in order to give
the delegates an idea of the street
decorations that had been put up in
their honor
Downtown streets were thronged all
day and every fifteen or twenty min
utes newly arrived delegation would
parade by to the accompaniment of
band music.
All the afternoon lower Seventeenth
street and the premises Of the Union
depot were crowded with people, who,
out of curiosity, or because of their
desire to greet friends and relatives
in the incoming delegations, were wait
ing patiently for trains from every part
of the United States.
The decorating of the city continued
all day. On the cross streets electri-
clans were busily employed putting
ur strings of colored lights similar to
those already in place on the main
thorcughfares. Upon the roof of the
Gas company's office. workmen were
putting the finishing touches on huge
Illuminated set piece depicting Miss
Denver handing over the key of the
city to the Democratic mule. All
Fourth of July decorations remained in
place and in some instances more were
hung out. The streets presented the
most gala appearance imaginable.

History Of the Sugar Beet.

The merits of the sugar beet were
discovered gradually. For ages it
was used chiefly as cattle feed. Later
the leaves were used as a vegetable,
and the roots were roasted as sub
stitute for coffee. About the middle
of the eighteenth century German
chemist named MarSgraf found that
the roots contained considerable
proportion of sugar. but it was not
till 1901 that the first beet sugar fac
tory was built, in Silesia, with the aid
of King Frederick William III.

by Representative John Gill, Jr.,

recting the Administration to
transmit to Congress all the cor
respondence i'll the Brownson
matter. He was, therefore. heard
with unusual interest by the

lines first, that the President
had acted in violation of stat
utary law. as well as military
law, in assigning Surgeon Stokes
TO command the hospital ship Re
lief; second. that the action of
the President in publicly abusing

as violation of law, was gross
