merly United States marshal for the
northern district of Ohio, and recent
ly declared by Governor c. N Haskell

TO the White House and assured the

Let me add that Governor Has
kell's utter untitness for any public
position of trust or for association
with any man anxious to make an ap-
peal on moral issue to the American
people has been abundantly shown
wholly irrespective Of this action of
his in connection with the Standard
Oh. interests. AS an American citizen,
who prizes his Amercanism and his
citizenship far above any question of
partizanship. regard it as scandal
and disgrace that Governor Haskell
should be connected with the manage
ment of any national campaign.

to discuss Governor Haskell's conduct,
for instance, in vetoing the child labor
bill, or the fact that his name appears
as one of the defendants in various
suits brought by the government to
prevent the Creek Indians from having
certain of their lands fraudulently
taken, or his connection with various
matters of the kind.
Governor Haskell was one of NJ.
Bryan's right-hand-men in the demo-
cratic convention and at Mr.. Bryan's
instance has been made treasurer of
the democratic national committee.

The Denver Muddle.

The first conference OF the Republi.
can candidates on the state ticket
which was held in Denver yesterday
brought forth discussion Of the Den
yer situation which for time threat
ened serious trouble and which was
only settled by the supporters of both
sides giving in and agreeing to try to
bring about settlement in Denver.
The matter came up over resolution
which read as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the candidates nominated by the Re-
publican state convention Sept. 13, 'O8,
that each and all of them decline to
accept nomination on any other
ticket than the Republican ticket and
that they pledge themselves one to the
other to abide by this acton.'
The resolution was sprung by the
Guggenheim-Vivian wing and has for
its ultimate action the preventing OF
the state candidates from accepting
nominations on what is termed the
Parks ticket
No sooner had the resolution been
read than Gov. Mcdonald, who has
been friend to both sides, moved to
table it. He did not believe that the
resolution bespoke any strength for
the state ticket. He was supported in
his contention by Judge Helm, Con.
gresham Bonynge and a. r. King.
Those who supported the resolution
were Senator Burger, Geo. L. Hodges,
John w. Springer and Gus Withers.
The arguments We're to the point
and the governor and his supporters
maintained that the ticket should be
allowed to 60 before the people in any
way whatsoever providing those who
were running with the state candidates
were Republicans.
The motion to table, lost and then
came the fight on the adoption of the
resolution. 1t was finally adopted,
but not until after those who are on
the ticket from Denver agreed to use
every effort to bring about harmony
between the two factions, and in fact
they agreed to be more than generous
to the other side. Should they fail t
keep this agreement those who fought
the resolution will bring it up at a
subsequent meeting.
Preparations were made for the
opening of the campaign in Colorado
The first big meeting will be held
Oct. ?, when Taft will be in Denver.
1t was the concenSus of opinion thai
a vigorous campaign must be waged
from now until the election is over.

1t seems strange that Jules
burg wheat buyers can afford to
give 63 cents for wheat this week
that our elevator manager would
offer only "a cents, therefore Mr..
II. II. Cook, took three loads of
wheat from the elevator here
Wednesday and hauled them to
Julesburg because 9 cents will
pay wages for the transfer. If
other buyers can pay the higher
prices why can't the Sedgwick
elevator do the same? What is
the use of an elevator to the
farmers if the prices offered are
always from three to nine cents
below the markets in the same
section, which has been the case
here this season. Only few

COST OF MAKING
CONCRETE BLOCKS
HOW. TO ASCERTAIN THIS COST
How Cement Stone Should be Laid
The Proper Method of Using Color
ing Matter With Concrete "A Cheap
and Durable Material.
IContinued from last week. I

In laying cement stone, soft mortar
composed of one half cement mortar and
one-half lime mortar should be used.
This mortar should be made with fine
sand and free from stone, and should be
buttered on the ends of the stone before,
laying. The stone should be laid in the
mortar and worked down. Do not leave
end joints open until after the building
is completed, because when the end
joints are filed at this time shrinkage
in mortar is liable to loosen it, causing
the mortar to fall out, leaving openings
through the wall.
The spreading Of mortar is very inn
portant, because if mortar is unevenly
spread so that it is thicker under one
portion of the stone than under the
other, leverage is created, which under
the weight of the wall above. is liable to
produce a crack in the stone.
In using coloring matter with con-
crete, the color should always be mixed
with the cement dry, before any sand or
water is added. This mixing should be
thorough, so that the mixture is uni
form in color, After this mixing the
combination is treated i'll the same way
as clear cement.
HOW TO FIGURE THE COST OF BLOCKS
One barrel contains 3 81 cubic feet.
One cubic yard contains IA barrels.
One yard of sand and 5-9 barrels of
cement equals to l mixture.
One yard of sand and gravel and l l-2
barrels of cement equals to l mixture.
In making blocks we recommend a
mixture for the facing Of part eemeut
2 parts coarse, sharp, clean sand, and
the body of the block part cement, ?
parts sand, and parts gravel or broken
stone, the gravel or broken stone to
range In size from IA inch to "a inch
in diameter.
For manufacturing 100 blocks SxSx16
inches there is needed PA barrels of
cement. 0.68 cubic yards of sand and 1. 0G
