Nevada No Good.

oOD
The State of Nevada is held by its Gov
ernor to be unable to deal with the situ-
alton in the Goldfeld mining section.
Probably the Governor is right in his posi-
ton. The entire State has a population
of only about $4,000. The number of men
available for military duty is insignifi-
cant. 1t is highly improbable hat there
is any military array worth calling on or
any force within the State adequate to
meet such a situation as that at the
mines.
The shame of the whole matter is that
Nevada was ever admitted as a State. 1t
is just as Dad that the citizens of that
vast pocket<borough insist upon remaining
a State, when they AVE not the popula-
ton of more than any three or our Of
the wards of the city of Buffalo.
There is no way to eliminate the State
without its own consent. If it had any
sense of proprjety it would petition to be
divided among surrounding States and so
wiped off the map. 1t never will do 1t. 1t
will simply be a founding and never grow
up into anything like maturity of force
and self-respect. 1t was made a State
for foolish reasons, chiefly political, but
its creation was a huge mistake in every
sense.-Buffalo News.

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 broadest 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 S25,000;
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, "A 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 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 30 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.

POLICEMAN
MURDERED
SHOT IN DENVER BY A HORSE
THIEF WHOM HE is TRYING
TO ARREST.
CAPTURE OF SUSPECT
NARROWLY ESCAPES LYNcHING
BY FURIOUS MOB OF POLICE
FORCE.

Denver.-In an attempt to stop
mounted man at the corner OF East
Evans and South Emerson streets at
9:05 O'Clock Tuesday night, Policeman
William p. Stephens was shot and al
most instantly killed by a suspected
horse thief. Six shots were exchanged
by the patrolman and his antagonist
and the horse of the latter is believed
to be wounded.
Policeman Stephens had been de-
tailed to investigate a burglary in the
neighborhood. He left the University
Park car at the corner where the
shooting later took place. The motor
man of the car saw Stephens stop
mounted man, leading two bay horses.
His car then turned a corner and
minute later he heard six shots in
quick succession. Neighbors aroused
by the fusillade hurried to the scene.
They could then hear the sound of
hoof beats in the distance, and several
claim to have distinguished clearly the
groan of a horse.
The dying policeman was found ly-
ing in the center of the road, which is
surrounded by high entertainments, and
directly in the light of an arc lamp.
large force of patrolmen and de-
was soon on the ground with automo-
biles.
Early Wednesday morning ]. B. Por
tes, suspected horse thief, was ar
rested by Detectives Rinker and Cole
at his home near University Park. He
complained to the police that he had
suffered the loss of horse the night
before. Information was obtained that
John Bradley, man of alleged doubt
full character, who had roomed at Por-
tes' home, had been missing since
Tuesday night. Portes was sent to
Jail charged with investigation, and
the nets of the entire police depart
ment were put out to apprehend Brad
ley.
Bradley was overtaken and captured
near Sullivan by Detectives Leyden
and Kennedy.
Wednesday night, when the prisoner
was being taken to a cell by side
door from Chief Hamilton Armstrong;
private office large crowd of patrol
men waiting for the night run jumped
upon him. The man cried for help.
Detectives Leyden and Kennedy, Chief
Armstrong, Captain Carter Ambulance
Driver Baker and several patrolmen
made a ring about him. Bradley was
struck to the floor. He was 1erked
to his feet and was dragged away to-
ward the Jail. Cries of Lynch him"
arose. Maddened patrolmen struck at
their superior officers who were pro-
tecting the prisoner. Revolvers were
leveled at the mans stomach, and only
the fear of killing others kept itching
fingers from dealing out death. Brad
ley was dragged bodily to the jail,
loo cd in steel tank and there, grasp
ing the bars in fright, refused to come
out to be interviewed until dozen
detectives present assured him that
his life would be spared. Fearing fur
ther violence Bradley was about 10
O'Clock taken to the county jail.
Bradley has refused to admit the
murder, but the officers assert that
the circumstantial evidence against
him is very strong and they have no
doubt of his guilt.

GUGGENHElM UNTIRlNG 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-
cecds 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 ed 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 it's report ON the omnibus pub
lie buildings bill it took occasion to
knock" the people of Denver for in
sisting upon a 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 $1,S00.000, the amount estimat-
ed by the supervising architect as nee
essary to erect 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 membex.
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 100000 to s1.6O0.000, 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 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 a clean cut, def
inite 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

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

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women 1 am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years 1 had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
1 followed it, and can truly say that
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

what will BIZ as common sight as

frame work for silos which will soon
arrive when they will be built on

gentlemen.
Each silo is eighteen feet in dia-
meter aud thirty feet in height, is
almost water tight and will hold
one hundred and fifty tons of food.
The main feature of silo is all
kinds of preveAder can be used and
nothing wasted and stock is said to
fatten and keep in healthy condi-
ton when fed on this food. The
only silo in the county we are told
was installed some time ago by a Mr..
