Malicious Report Refuted
Editor Neavs and Cftazen:-

Editor Ne1vS and Citazen:-
[ persume that great part of your
readers are aware that very strange and
fatal disease attacked my COWS. Out of
twenty-four head, but two have escaped,
and in eight cases it was fatal and the
very best authorities in the state are un-
able to tell what it was. The loss was
not enough, but some of my very kind
friends reported that it was a case of
starvation and neglect. They went so
far as to state that Mr.. Harlan Shepard
told them SO. thinking, no doubt, that as
long as he was in Oklahoma he could not
deny it. l have a letter from Mr.. Shep-
ard in which he states his opinion of that
class of cattle in language a little too
strong for publication. He also sent
statement of his knowledge of the care
and feed of my stock which / ask you to
print, Yours truly, Fl. L. DELANo.
sHEPARD's STATEMENT
With reference to the misfortune of
Herbert L. Delano in the loss of his dairy,
am given to understand that / am re-
ported to have said, that the cows were
generally ill-cared for. With what intent
some ill-minded person circulated such
untrue report as coming from me | can.
not guess, and have confidence that it is
unnecessary to even deny the utterance
of the above. But for the benefit of those
who do not know me, wish to most en-
phatically deny making such statements
furthermore wish to state that, at the
first appearance of disease Mr.. Delano
took every precaution to ascertain it's
nature and protect his herd. Also, that
during my stay in Elmore and vicinity
from Oct. 1907 until Feb. 1908, most of
my time was spent at the Delano farm
and with the exception of two cows Mr..
Delano's herd was in fine condition and
we'll cared for. | can only say of the au-
thor of such reports, that if he expects to
be believed in saying such reports came
from me he is most awfully mistaken in
his idea of the confidence placed in me
by my friends. HARLAN A. SHEPARD.

cent illness and is now able to do light.

The condition of Mark Johnson is so
much improved that he was able to walk

President of the Denver Chamber of z Commerce. Makes a Public state-
 ments-vfsltors WfIl Receive
 a Cordial Welcome.

Denver. Col, March AZ. L.. Scholtz, President of the Chamber of Commerce issued statement today in which he made clear the fact that Denver hotel men were pledged not to raise rates during the meeting of the Democratic National Convention.
 There has been printed in many newspapers an erroneous statement to the effect that the Denver hotel men paid a large share of the $100.000 rais- ed to help defray the expenses of the National Democratic Convention and that they intend to make 1t back by raising rates" said Mir. Scholt. "As a matter of fact. the contributions of the hotel men were insignificant com pared with what was given by other interests. The hotel men are pledged in writing not to raise their rates be- yond what is charged for meals and rooms at ordinary times and there will be no just ground for complaint on the part of any one who comes here to att tend the National Democratic Conven- ton. There is no truth in the asser- ton that rates will be raised here dur ing the convention and this statement is made to set at rest any uneasiness that may have been caused by such misleading statements"
 W. F. R. Mills. Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and prominent Republican. supplemented Mir. Scholtz's statement in a similar version.
 T am a Republican" said MT. Mills, sbut I want every one to know that nothing will be left undone by the Re- publican citizens of Denver to make all who come to the meeting of the Demo- cratic National Convention feel at home and enjoy their stay here. There will he no extortton and every visitor will depart satisfied with treatment he re- ceives. It Is matter of pride on the part of all citizens of Denver to treat every visitor to this city a little bet ter than he is treated in any other city In the country"

the former there were 1881; of

CUSTOM OF ORIENTAL NATIONS,
Salute by Kissing the Foot Is as Old
as History.

The custom of kissing the feet of
persons whom it was desired to honor
originated with the ancients. The peo-
pie of oriental nationals used to kiss
the hands and feet or hens of the
clothes of the persons they wished to
show respect for
The ancient Egyptians got this Gus.
tom from the Assyrians, and later the
Greeks adopted the habit from the
Egyptians. The Romans followed the
Greeks, and then Pontifex Maximus
had his great toe kissed by celebrities
The story will be remembered of the
old Briton ruler who appeared to dc
homage to Roman monk after the
conquest of Britcn. He was told tina
it was customary to kiss the foot OF
the holy father. He hesitated fol
a moment and then, bending down.
he suddenly seized the monk by the
ankle and, jerking it up to his lips
toppled the worthy father over back
ward.
The toe of the sultan of Turkey is
kissed by subjects of high rank. Those
of more lowly position are merely
allowed to touch the fringe of his gar
ment to their lips, and the poorest
classes must be content to make a low
