MANY HORSES DIE
FROM STRANGE DISEASE

Horsemen in eastern FL Paso
county and in Douglas county
are annoyed by IA comparatively
new and steadily growing, mys-
FERROUS disease which has been
killing off horses in large num-
bers during the last few months.
The Ell Paso Councy Stockgrowers'
association, at its monthly meeting
at the court house yesterday morning
passed a resolution providing that
the next legislature be memorialized
to appropriate $4,000 to be devoted
to the study of this strange malady,
with a view to discovering a cure. A
requests similar action on the part of
the Douglas County Stockgrowers'
association.
Drs. A. ]. Savage and William
Maher. well-known veterinary surg
cons of this city, addressed the stock
growers at length yesterday, both ex-
planning the strange and apparently
incurable disease. 1t apparently at
tacks the horse in the stomach, and
later acts like pneumonia 1t is not
thought to be greatly contagious. al
though the disease has grown alarm
ingly in the last few weeks. 1t was
first noted about four years ago, but
not until recently has it appeared to
sufficient extent to cause alarm. 1t
is prevalent mostly in prairie coun-
ties, and is not noticeable in the
mountains.
DR.. Savage said that State Veter-
marian Lamb and other veterinary
surgeons are baffled by the disease,
which is so unlike anything before
known that it is called the ''no
name" horse 'sease.

Greets Confederate Veterans.

New Orleans.-One Of the most uni
que scenes of recent days in this city
was that enacted at Confederate Mem
orial hall Sunday afternoon from 3 to
o'clock, when Mrs. ]. Addison Hayes
of Colorado Springs. the sole surviving
member of Jefferson Davis family, and
Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone of Gal
weston, Texas, president general Of the
United Daughters of Confederacy,
stood for one hour and received ODD
grizzled veterans who had followed the
lost cause" as championed by Presi-
dent Davis.
1t was = scene of deep feeling and
devotion. A number of the Daughters
OF the Confederacy were present to
assist Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Stone in
receiving the veterans, and some of
the leading members of the Confeder.
ate organization participated.
Before returning here from Biloxi,
Mississippi, Mrs. Hayes, accompanied
by her son, William D. Hayes, paid a
visit to the old Jefferson Davis man
sion. the former home of her father at
Bsauvoir, Mississippi, which is now a
Confederate soldiers home, and
greeted the veterans assembled there.

million dollar contract to furnish the
marble for the interior work on the
new So,00G,00O court house in Cleve-

They now have a contract to furnish
all the marble for the interior Of a
New York bank. Colorado marble is
beginning to be recognized in the East,
and the new company believes that be-
fore long it will tax them to fill all or
ders.
A large force OF new men will be

JOURNALISTIC CONVENTION.
Governor suchtel Favors Gathering o,
Publicists at Denvsr.

Denver.-In a public letter Gov. H.
A. Buchtel calls for an expression OF
opinion throughout the state in regard
to a great journalistic gathering to be
held In Denver at the close of the CON-
ing Democratic national convention in
July. The governor says:
John Brisben Walker has suggested
the idea of holding an international
congress of authors, editors, publish
ers AID publicists in Denver after the
close OF the Democratic national con-
vent1on, namely from July 14th to July
25th. During the Democratic national
convention reporters will be present
in great numbers from every section OF
the United States. II we could then
bring to Denver considerable repre-
sentation of editors and publishers the
advantage to the state would be great
The owners of the great papers and
the editors who formulate the policy
of the great papers could do more to
make Colorado known to the people in
every locality than the reporters who
work under their direction The topics
to be considered by the convention
would be such topics as might be
agreed upon among the most conspicu-
GUS editors and publishers of the coun-
try. 1t is probable that they will con-
slider such questions as the conduct and
ethics of the worlds great newspapers
and magazines, and the work of the
novelist and writer.
''Thc suggestion has been made that
these distinguished people should be
invited to be the guests of Colorado for
ten days, from July 14th to 2sth. 1t is
proposed that only four sessions of the
congress should be held and that inter
vening time should be occupied with
visits to interesting points in the Rocky
mountains. Both the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Colorado & Southern
railroads have expressed their hearty
approval OF the plan. They would pro-
vide transportation for these distin-
gutshed guests to any points reached
by their lines. The board of directors
of the Convention League will at once
take up the matter to determine
whether it might be possible to pro-
vide for the entertainment Of these
guests. Invitations would be issued to
approximately 500 of the worlds most
famous authors, publishers and publ
cists.
I'VE might hope to secure an atten-
dance Of 100 of these distinguished
people If we could invite them to be the
guests of the state of Colorado. The
great conventions to be held in Den
yer this year ought to add hundred
thousand people to our population in
the course of the next twelve months.
II we could bring the owners Of the
great newspapers and the men who
fix the policies of the great newspapers
for such n convention, it is probable
that this would do as much for us as
any other convention in bringing peo-
pie to Colorado.
'.It is desired that expressions of ap-
proval or disapproval of holding this
proposed convention should be sent at
once to w. F. R. Mills, secretary of the
Denver Convention League, at the
Chamber Of Commerce building. or to
me at the state house. Very sincerely,
HENRY A. BUCHTEL."

THE LOCAL OPTION LAW,
Governor buchtel Explains Its Pro-
visions to Denver Voters.

Denver.-Five congregations of
churches in the Twelfth ward were
represented Sunday night in the South
Broadway Christian church to hear
Gov. H. A. Buchtel explain the working
of the local option law. The largest
audience that South Broadway church
has held for some time was present,
every available inch Of space being oc
cupied.
AS Governor Buchtel said. the law is
splendid one, but not self-operative.
The people must put it into effect be-
fore the officers of the law can en-
force 1t. For this reason the governor
himself undertook to explain it.
A great many inquiries had been re-
ceived, he said, from around the state
asking il one county could vote itself
dry. This could not be done, he said.
for the reason that the individuals of
community have the right to regu
late their own affairs to certain ex
tent. He has submitted all questions
to the attorney general and this opin-
ion was returned to him.
to stay wet if it so desires, although
the rest of the county is dry. The vot-
ers of the Twelfth ward, he said.
would have to decide for themselves
whether or not they wish to vote the
whole ward dry and have the pre-
cincts that wish to remain wet stay so,
II they can show that a majority OF
the taxpayers of that precinct wish to
remain wet, or whether they will elm
mate these precincts before election
and not vote upon them at all.
The local option bill has ward sub
division vote and this is one of the re-
suits. However, to prove that ward
subdivision is regarded as the best
method OF voting upon the anti-saloon
proposition he told of Governor Folks
effort to secure it in Missouri After
an anti-saloon bill had been passed
there, Governor Folk called special
session Of the Missouri legislature to
secure ward subdivision but was un-
successful.
On the drug store question he de-
clared Colorado had law which can
not be bettered. The provision of the
Kelly bill, brought before the legisla-
ture, was incorporated in the Drake
bill on this phase of the subject. It
provides that no drug store may dis
pense Intoxicating liquors unless the
liquor is sold by licensed pharmacist
upon the order of licensed practicing
physician, and that the prescription be
used only once. Both these persons
are licensed by the state and hence
under the control Of the state so that
their licenses may be revoked If they
attempt to evade the law. Also fine
OF from 500 to 5000 or Imprisonment
for thirty days may be imposed for
violations of the law. A second offense
provides for a fine of from 5000 TO $500
and imprisonment.
In order to vote precinct wet after
it has been voted dry those favoring
a wet precinct must go through the
same formula prescribed for making it
dry 30 that once dry it will always be
dry in Governor Buchtel's opinion.
Forty per cent Of the voters, he de-
clared, would never dare to put their
names to a petition asking that the
vote be revoked.

Death Of Count PourtaIes.

Colorado Springs.-Count James de
Pourtales, a prominent and active fig
ure in the early history and develop
ment Of Colorado Springs. builder of
the Broadmoor casino, founder and
FIRST president Of the Cheyenne Noun
tain Country club and one of the first
men to invest any considerable amount
Of money in the Cripple Creek district,
died Saturday at Mentone, Italy, after
. brief illness, at the age OF forty seven
years. Countess de Pourtales, his
wife. died in Los Angeles two years
ago. Her remains were taken to Ger
many for burial
Count de Pourtales, who was a man
Of great wealth, first visited Colorado
Springs in 1887, stopping here while en-
route to the Pacific coast. He intended
to stay but few days but prolonged
his visit to several weeks. This event
ually meant much to Colorado Springs
and this region because Count de Pour
tales decided to locate here perm
anently.
In a few months he acquired the
now noted suburb Of Broadmoor and
built the casino, At a time when Colo
RADIO Springs had only 10000 inhabi
tants. Soon afterward he founded the
Cheyenne Mountain Country club, now
the most exclusive social organization
in Colorado Springs.
About this time Cripple Creek was
discovered by Bob" aWomAck and, al
though many scofed at the new camp
Count de Pourtales was confident that

de Pourtales never realized much from
his Cripple Creek Investment for the
reason that his interests in Germany
called him to that country at the height
Of the mining boom. He sold his min
ing property content to know that his
Judgment had not been at fault. and
sailed for his estate at Glumbowits,
In Silesia, Germany. where his life
werk was spent In relieving the oondi-
tioh' 'of the worthy poor.
