The Omaha Grain Exposition.

The greatest grain exposition ever
held in the world will be from Decem-
ber 9th to 10Th, inclusive, at Omaha
Nebraska. Although this is called the
National Corn Exposition, the word
corn is used in its broadcast sense and
includes all the grains and grasses.
Last year this exposition was held
in Chicago; the value of all premiums
offered at that time was over $4,000;
this year the prizes will exceed this
amount.
The largest prizes offered, and those
that will have the largest number of
entries, are the sweepstakes prizes for
the best corn, wheat and oats. The
Colorado farmers cannot hope to win
the corn prize; but they should put
forth their best efforts to capture the
wheat and oats prize.
Nearly all the western states have
raised funds or offered specials for
the best wheat and oats from their
state, in order to encourage a large
exhibit; so far Colorado is the only
state that has not supplemented the
premiums offered by the exposition.
The prize for the best wheat is val
ued at $500. The grain will be milled
in the Exposition building, and the
flour baked.
Can you realize what the winning of
this prize means to a state? Can you
realize how much advertising Colorado
would get all over the world should
We be fortunate enough to land the
prize? We can do it if we will con-
tribute something so as to be able to
offer some prizes as encouragement to
the grain growers.
Your cooperation is asked in this
matter; We must act without delay.
Next month the premius list will be
published and then it will be too late.

Knorr, Secretary Colorado Grain and
Seed Growers Association, Fort Col

USED CHURCH AS scHooLRooM.
Proceedings That Somewhat Aston
ished the Sexton.

The sexton of one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether to regard the matter in the
light of a desecration or devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by man
who stood at the lower end OF the
aisle. walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip second time he scarcely gave
them thought, but when the trio
started around the church third time
and the man called out, step little
more briskly, please" he began to
wonder, and presently made inquiry.
II hope you won't be offended" the
man replied. II am physical culture
instructor. am teaching these young
ladies to walk. I have already taught
them to walk in the street, in the
drawing room, in the theater and every
place else they are likely to find them
selves. I am now teaching them to
walk in church. Very few women can
walk there properly. Some lope, some
swagger. some skip. others adopt a
mincing gait. All these styles are
very inappropriate for church. A dig
nified, subdued gait alone is suitable
for devotional purposes. Church Is
the best place for pupils In walking to
receive practical instruction, therefore
have brought them here"
Great fathers!" gasped the sexton.
What next?"
But he said no more till the walk
ing exercise was ended. Then he fol-
lowed the class to the door.
Il hope" he said, you will practice
the lesson learned to-day by coming
here to church once in a while"

COLORADO HAS
LIVE SENATOR
GUGGENHEiM UNTIRING IN EFF
FORTS ON BEHALF OF HIS
STATE.
HAS SPLENDID RECORD
LEGISLATION SECURED BY HIM
GIVES COLORADO NEEDED
APPROPRIATIONS.

Washington, d. C.-In the final sum-
ming up of legislative results of the
first session of the Sixtieth Congress
it Is found that Colorado interests
Jared unusually well. The state not
only shares In many general items of
legislation beneficial to the West, such
as the increased payment to the state
! of from ten to twenty-five per cent. of
forest receipts. but in local benefits ex
ceeds many of her neighbors.
This was due to the untiring zeal and
energy of the states new member in
the upper chamber, Senator Guggen-
helm.
First of all, Colorado led all of the
states in the country, excepting one,
Illinois, In the amount appropriated
for public buildings, and for this Sen.
Guggenheim deserves unstinted praise.
The house public building committee
gave Colorado scant recognition-in
fact, in its report on the omnibus pub
lie buildings bill it took occasion to
knock" the people Of Denver for in
sisting upon general public building,
instead of meekly taking a measly
postoffice building costing not over
100000, as the committee deemed the
city should have.
Before the bill reached the Senate
for action, Senator Guggenheim had
offered an amendment to it, giving
Denver 81 800 900, the amount estimat
ed by the supervising architect as nee
essary to erect n suitable building,
commensurate with the needs of the
city, on the site already selected,
bought and paid for. He fortified his
amendment with figures and statistics
and made personal appeals to his
friends among both the Republican and
Democratic members.
Senator Guggenheim made a ten
strike in the matter by personally Sc.
curing the active aid Of Chairman Scott
and the next ranking member of the
committee, Senator Warren. These
two senators were instrumental, not
only in having Denver put in the bill,
but as members of the conference COM
mittee they were able to keep it there
after long, stiff fight with the house
members of the committee, being
forced, however, to cut the amount of
Senator Guggenheim's amendment
from 81 500. 600 to 81 100000, a decrease
which probably will be remedied by
subsequent legislation.
Senator Guggenheim was equally
successful in his efforts to secure an
appropriation for the enlargement of
Fort Logan. and to obtain perpetual
water rights for the post. In this he
worked Systematically as if the mat
ter were a private business enterprise.
Through his attorneys he secured op-
tions on the required lands and water
rights, and was thus enabled to go
before the War Department and the
military and appropriations committees
of the Senate with clean cut, def
mite business proposition. He secured
favorable reports from the War De
partment and the military affairs COM
mittee of the Senate upon his bill
providing for the improvements,
passed it through the Senate and. rec
ognizing the impossibility of passing it
through the House in the congestion
of business caused by the prevailing
filibuster, he offered his bill as an
