Very Expensive Whiskey.

Marshall Jones, of Concord, was
drunk election day, and was caught
in the act of giving drink to an
other man. He was arrested, tried
and fined one hundred dollars and
the costs. He was also fined $40
for being drunk himself, so that his
total Indebtedness amounts to $126.
That was rather a costly little spree
for Col. Jones. The law provides
maximum fine of $1,000 and a mini
mum fine of 500 for drinking or
for giving a drink within five miles
of a polling place on elections. Ii

Convention.

Denver, Col, June 5.-Mrs. Ruth
Bryan-Leavitt, daughter of William
J. Bryan, has been named a delegate
at-large to the State Democratic
convention to be held at Glenwood
Springs on June Is. She was NAM
ed by the Denver county convention,
which, while it endorsed the candi-
dacy of her father for the presidency,
did not instruct for him. She was
not at the convention, being at hef
fathers home in Lincoln with her
children, and did not know her name
was to be presented.
The move may result in Mrs. LeaV'
lit being sent as a delegate to the
Democratic National convention
There has been talk of naming her
and Mrs. J. A. Hayes, daughter Oh

teenth streets, three of the main
thoroughfares in the city, were reve-
lations in color. On Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets there are eight iron
ornamental electric poles to a block,
four on each side of the street. On
these streets the poles were draped
with red, white and blue bunting.
Wires were stretched across the street
from these poles and from each wire
two American flags were suspended.
The flags hung over the street and
becoming tangled and torn by the wind.
On Seventeenth street the scheme
was the same, except there were only
six poles to each block, two at each
corner and two at each alley.
At each crossing two wires were
strung diagonally across the intersec-
ton, from which red, white and blue
incandescent lights hung. The bust
ness houses along the three streets
were handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags. Elaborate and cost
ly electric display signs had been
put in place on the buildings. and at
night Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets were blaze of light.
Electric display signs are one Of
the main features of business life in
Denver. Every merchant has an cleo
trio sign, and as all Of the streets that
cross the three thoroughfares de-
scribed are live business streets. the
committee on illumination did not find
it necessary to add much in the way
of light to these avenues of trade.
However, the business houses were
handsomely decorated with bunting
and flags, SO the entire business Sec
ton of Denver was a mass of color
when the big convention opened.
The people of Denver, in addition to
decorating their city and providing a
beautiful and commodious auditorium
for the Democratic national conven-
ton, seemed determined to convince
every visitor that true western hos
pitality is not thing of the past in
this city. The real Denverite is hos
pitable because hospitality is in the
atmosphere in the wonderful Rocky
mountain country.

Directly over the speakers plat

near the junction with the ceiling, was

six flags IL feet long draped in artis-

shield there were four other shields
over the platform, each ten feet high.
The six flags on these shields were
eight feet long.
Just below the main shield hung a
mammoth portrait of George Washing

white and blue bunting was draped
from the sides of the shield to the
bottom of the portrait Of the Father
of His Country
Directly under the last shield, on
each side of the Washington portrait,
was suspended a portrait, one of
Thomas Jefferson and the other of
Andrew Jackson. On each side Of
these pictures a large American flag
was draped. These flags are 40 by
60 feet in dimensions. Beyond these
pictures, at each end Of the wall, and
hanging above the gallery, was sus-
pended a pendant, ten feet in diane
ter, upon which bunting was draped.
Upon these pendants tiger was
painted. The back of the platform
was banked with palms. Twenty

History of the Sugar Beet.

The merits of the sugar beet were
discovered gradually. For ages 1t
was used chiefly as cattle feed. Later
the leaves were used as vegetable,
and the roots were roasted as q sub
stitute for coffee. About the middle
of the eighteenth century q German
chemist named Marggraf 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.
