1t Is a curious fact that in the four
American League games yesterday every
victorious team was Outbatted by the
losers with a total of nearly two to one.
Thirty-seven base hits were registered
by the defeated teams and only twenty by
the victors. Another evidence of the un-
certainty of base ball.

Exemption Repeal Killed.

In the House there was considerable
talk on Mr.. Greenman's bill to repeal
the law, enacted two years ago, to ex-
empt from taxation residence property
belonging to church societies. Mr..
Greenman declared the law to be
invalid and unconstitutional, and that
his only motive in asking the repeal
was to cut dead wood out of the stat.
utes. Mr.. Helbig stated that the law had
been passed merely as convenience
or excuse for assessors. They had been,
he said, neglecting TO assess these resi-
dences, and the law was made that
they might have Legislative sanction.
The whole question of church eXemp-
tion was pretty well hashed over. pro

clause of the bill was stricken out.

Proposed New Counties.

Holt county is proposed by a bill in
the House by Lem Cannon of Ell Paso.
1t is to be c. rived from Elbert and Ell
Paso counties, taking half of the for
mer and a section in the northeast
part of the latter. Within the boundar-
les will be Ramah and Calhan. now in
Ell Paso, and several good lively burgs
of Ebert. There also appeared Mon
day a bill that was turned down two
years ago to make North Park into a
county. This is now part of Larimer
county, the residents of which have
long declared their willingness for the
divorce. if it can be arranged on con
ditions satisfactory to all. Heretofore
strong objections have been found to
every manner of making the division.

Proposed Election Law Changes.

Reforms in a number of the laws
governing elections are contemplated
in bills presented in the House by Mr..
Helbig. One provides that judges of
elections in adjoining precincts must
alternate in party control. That is. if
the judges in one precinct are two Re-
publcans and one Democrat, the next
must have two Democrats and one Re
publican. Another bill is to abolish al
together interpreters and other assist
ance to illiterate voters. 1t provides
that no voter may be given help in pre-
pairing his ballot unless he is physically
unable to write his name, though hav-
ing the knowledge of how it should be
written if his hands were in condition
to form the characters.

gun, two PAGES, three PAGES, ten per-

dered up from the brake and burst
through the thicket fringe toward the
deeper growth. There was a flash and
pun from my gun, crash of echoes

through the faint veil of smoke some
thing dark dropped from mid-air amid

Up from the ground sprang Voyou

a mass of mottled bronzed feathers.
Very gravely he laid the bird at my
feet and crouched close beside it, his
silky ears across his paws, his muzzle
on the ground.

held for a moment silent caressing
communion with Voyou, then swung
my gun under my arm and motioned
the dog on.

Voyou was little tired. He

An entire unity of feeling was shown
by both Republican and Democratic
senators in passing for its second read
ing Senator Casady's bill for the es-
tablishment of medical school OF the
University of Colorado at Denver, en-
bracing the first two years of the medi.
cal course. Senator Burger moved the
passage of the bill to third reading un-
der suspension of the rules, and the
motion was unanimously carried.
Among the senators it is said that for
Iner Gov II. A. Buchtel insured its pas
sage when he devoted large part of
his outgoing message to a comparison
of Denver University and the State
University at Boulder, much to the lat
ter Institutions detriment. He was,
they declare, an active opponent Of the
establishment of the State University
medical school in Denver because il
would compete with the Denver school.
but his message caused many senators
to vote for the change.
