 Miss corean R. Taliiaferro is a Recently she has been living with her mother on Quality Hill in Kansas City. She came to Colorado to meet J. R. Bell, New York business man, with reference to the disposition of a por- tion of her estate. After settling her business matters, Miss Talliaferro said that she came to Denver from Colorado friend introduced her to Frederick O. oleson. President of the proposed Bur lington interurban electric railway. had often told his mother that ie would not marry utnil he found the woman with whom he fell in love at first first sight. and whom he knew to be today: "Mr. oleson told me that as soon as he rested his eyes on mine he knew that I was that affinity.

GREAT POLITICAL CHANGES.

 Kansas City Journal.
 The Presidential campaign this year shows in clear relief the Tremendous changes that have taken place in American politics in the last decade or two. So far at least the present cam paign has been the quietest ever Known. utterly lacking in the fierce partisan ships that have characterized most na- tional political contests in the past Everywhere may be found widespread evidences of an apparent apathy amounting almost to indifference.
 This state of affairs is in strong contrast to the bitterness of political feeling that formerly prevailed throughout the country for a hundred years or more, in the days when the Whigs and Democrats. and after the Civh War the Democrats and Republi- cans, fought over their political con- Victions, especially In Presidential years. with a fierceness of partisan zeal and energy that almost rocked the Republic on its foundations.
 Men now living remember we'll when politics entered desply into even so- cial and business affairs, and a Re- publican viewed a Democrat as little better than a public enemy. a traitor or at least political conspirator agatnaI

the welfare of the nation, and vice versa, a Democrat returned this par- tisan suspicion with such vigor that he would hesitate to allow his daugh- ter to wed a despised Republican.
 Men of both the great political par ties worked with feverish energy fin Presidential campaigns and became so wrought up over the elections that business suffered and was neglected the country over: and when the elec- tion returns showed the defeat of their party nomines. many men almost gave way to despair and doubted the future safety and stability of the republic.
 Tn view of the present political las- situde and the remarkable quietness of the situation. it Is hard to realize how great are the changes that have taken place within the past few years, how men who twenty years ago were ready to fly at the throats of their political opponents now view political contests with perfect equanimty, and more. with actual indifference, as though they had no hand or duty to perform in the matter and no interest in the outcome.

The dissatisfied voter had dropped out of his regular party and tried some- thing else at the previous election, When he appeared to register for the next primary there was some hitch in the proceedings, says Lippincott's Mag azine.

 "Yes," responded the voter, una bashed.

 The clerk accepted the explanation as quite satisfactory and took him back into the fold again.

Newspapers and Campaign runds,

The success of the system of rais- Ing the necessary funds for the Dem. ocratic campaign through the efforts or loyal newspapers is rapidly becom- ing apparent. Within ten days for example The New Orleans States has reported It's first subscription list as doubled. The Commoner of course leads the list of collectors of funds. but such papers as The Memphis commereiai-Appeal. The Memphis Scimitar- Avalanche. The Nashville Tenneseean. Buffalo Times are all re- porting rapidly growing subscription lists. The Knoxville Sentinel has sent out through its correspondents throughout the State printed blanks on which the names of subscribers and the amounts subscribed may be noted and offers cash prize of ten dollars to the correspondent who will send in the largest amount of cash sub seriptions from any county In east Tennessee outside of Knox county. Thts ls Q work In which any paper may well join whether great or small. Twenty-hve dollar subscriptions are apt to mean a good many more than twenty-five votes and record of the subscribers and the name of the pa. per securing them will be faithfully preserved at the Democratic head quarters for reference after the else- tion.
 In some of the States of the mid- ale West, notably Ohio and Indiana. method of soliciting even smaller subscriptions has been adopted and Is being pressed largely by women They form what they call thirty cent clubs. enrolling members who are pledged to secure as many subscriptions of that amount as possible. The plan is spreading widely and while entatlInR the least possible burden upon the subscriber is likely to bring a consid- eraele campaign fund to the aid of Bryan and Kern.

TRIAL oF EuLIsNprRo.


 Berlin. June 2s--Prince Philip zu Eulenberg appeared today before a judge and jury to stand trial on charges of perjury and subornation of perjury in connection with the recent scandals. the revelations of which created such a sensation.
 Tie proceedings. according to the lawyers engaged in the case. are like ly to be greatly prolonged, possibly lasting for weeks. owing to the large number of witnesses to be examined. while Interruptions are ont unlikely owing to the precarious condition of the health of the Prince.
 During the swearing of the jury, which was selected in a very few min utes, and the preliminary formalities connected with the reading of the charges those already within the court precincts were permitted to remain.
 The judge delivered an impressive address concerning the duty of the jury and directed it not to take into consideration social position of the accused. but to deal out justice without fear.

LOUISIANA WD.L BE
 HIGH LICENSE STATE

Baton Rouge, La., June 29.--That Louisiana shall be a high license State tor the nsSt two years at b,s: lsset ws; .; when the Senate passed the Shattuck- Gay liquor bill by a vote of 20 to 1.
 This measure has passed the House approval. It fixes the minimum parish license at $500. minimum state at s20o, with maximum licenses running up to several thousand dollars each.
 Louisiana is the first Southern State in which prohibition he failed to car- ry since the beginning of the great movement which swept Georgia into the dry column. The prihibitionists made strong fight here. and such a good showing that their leaders claim they have an excellent opportunity to pass a State wide prohibition law when the next assembly meets two years hence.
 Meanwhile the high license experI- ment will be tried under most interest Ing circum stances. More than half of the territory of Louisiana already Is dry under local option laws. In thls dry territory lives nearly half of the population of the State. The total area of Louisiana is 45,420 square miles, and of this approximately 27,000 square miles is dry. leaving a little over 1s,- 900 square miles in which the saloon
  ing to the 1900 census was 1884, 625 of which approximately 5So.000 persons live in dry territory. leaving over 800 900 in the saloon territory. The high license law is expected to give the State close to s3oO,00O additional rev. enue yearly. If enforced strictly the law is expected by it's packers to ahol- ish many of the features of liquor traf- ic which have furnished the prohibit ionists some of their arguments. These regulative measures include the abolition of all forms of ownership in saloons by breweries; the exclusion of women. gambling and music from saloon business; the removal of saloons from groceries and the providing of separate saloons for whites and blacks. Women are not to be permitted even to have e saloon license. Minors are to be excluded not only from drinking in salons but also from working there in. Separate rooms for the use of wo men or minors are especially prohibited.
 The Shattuck Gay bill now goes to the House for concurrence fin a few changes made by the Senate. and then to the Governor for his signature.
