 Fine Arrangements.
 All things considered, the coming con- vention promises to be better handled and more comfortably conducted than the ma- jority of similar gatherings in recent years. The auditorium is completed and only the settlement of few details, for which there is an abundance of time, re- mains to be considered. In one respect at least the arrangements are far su- perior to those of the republican conven- tion, and this is in the accommodations provided for newspaper men.
 The hall itself is apparently model for convention purposes, although it is possible some defects will be manifested before the great political gathering. It's shape is such that far greater number of people will be within range of a speakers voice than was possible in the Chicago coliseum.
 The city is making every possible prep aration to entertain it's visitors in the most hospitable manner.
 The great majority of the business houses, and many of the residents, will be decorated, and under the direction and active management of a number of pa- triotic organizations the display of bunt- ing promises to surpass anything of the kind ever seen in the west in many years.
 Electric Displays.
 Even in it's normal condition, Denver is a city of lavish electrical display, and when plans under way have been com pleted the sight by night will be one that would do credit to an electrical eXposl- tion. The great capitol building. with it's vantage point on the summit of a commanding eminence, will be- when lighted up, spectacle of really great beauty. At the apex of the golden coi- ored dome is placed an enormous light which can easily be seen at distance of 40 miles, and down the sloping sides cf the dome itself and along the edges of manifold cornices and projections, and at the top of the massive granite columns. which stand at the four sides of ihe great structure, have been placed thou- sands of smaller lights. which render the building by night revelation well worth far journey to see, and one which once beheld will not be forgotten.

HIGH GLASS DRAMA,

Sanford Dodge and his clev-

with a crowed house at h e
Lyric last night. and ono e
again Manager Willis demon
strated that his chief aim is to
bring only the best to Calgary.
1t was veritable treat, and as
the company is to be here all
week, there should be a gener-
Gus patronage on the part of
those who insist On high class
productions.
Sanford Dodgshas strong
forte and that is in interpreting

with "The Thre4 Musketeers,"

Elaborately staged AMI t h e

satisfied and doubtless Mr.
Dodge will be favored a return
visit by many during the week.

BOBBY Is ON THE ANXIOUS

Now if Bobby thinks that
Moody is 90 easily beaten by
"any good man." why don't ne
keep still and let Doc. get the
nomination witho u t obstruc-

more like-smooth politics.

Experience with new milk cows and
their calves seems TO point to the wis
dom of not allowing the calf TO suck
the dam unless she is an Inferior milk
er and 1t Is desired to allow tho calf to
run with her for several weeks for the
purpose of making quick veal. If the
calf is allowed TO suck for three or
four days or until the milk gets good
and Is then removed, the mother will
often not let down her milk as she
should, with the result that her flow of
milk is permanently reduced.
