 The court room was crowded by those who wished to hear the sentence pro- nounced today, but none of the defend ants were in court, having been no- tihed of the postponement.
 It is said that there may be two grounds in the main for new trial, the attack upon the penal provisions of the Sherman law and then upon the evidence itself, providing the law is upheld. The convicted men are among the wealthiest in this section and the sensation caused by the verdict of guilty is great.

years prominent in Colorado politics,
died at his home in this city Wednes-
day morning at the age of SO years.
He had been i'll for several months.
Mr.. Edwards came to Denver from
Wisconsin in 1874 and since that time
has been prominently connected with
projects that were launched for the
betterment of the state. He was sec
retary of state for two terms, during
the years of 1882 to 1886 and after
enjoying the honors of the state office

estimated at $4,000 to $4,000, with
only $4,000 insurance. The mill

May Rebuild Elbert Line.

Denver.-The Republican Thursday
morning says: There is a possibility
that the Burlington and Colorado &
Southern railroads, each of which is
now a portion of the Hill system of
railroads, will shortly be operating
over their own tracks between this
city and Pueblo. They will not build
a new new line as reported, parallel
ing the Santa Fe, now used by the
Colorado & Southern and the Denver
& Rio Grande. but will, in all likeli-
hood, utilize the ancient line Of the
Colorado & Southern to Pueblo via
Elbert and Elizabeth, which will be
rebuilt and put in first class shape.
Burlington and Colorado e Southern
engineers are now investigating thor
oughly the old line and will report on
its feasibility soon. 1t is as short to
Pueblo as the two rival roads, but
considerably longer to Colorado
Springs, which is reached by a spur
westward from Manitou Junction, six
miles east of Colorado Springs. This
information was given out by Vice
President Daniel Willard of the Bur
lington who was in Denver yesterday.

Presidents Exclamation.

hington.-President Taft Thurs
day night gave out statement en-
bodying his views of the new tariff
act. He supported it as a sincere et-
fort for downward revision. In this
statement he says: 81 have signed the
Payne tariff bill because | believe it
to be the result of sincere effort on
the part OF the Republican party to
make a downward revision and to
comply with the promises of the plat,
form as they have been generally un.
derstood, and as | interpreted them
in the campaign.
There have been a great number
of real decreases in rates and they
constitute a sufficient amount to jus.
tify the statement that this bill is a
substantial downward revision and a
reduction of excessive rates.
This is not a free trade bill; it was
not intended to be. The Republican
party did not promise to make free
trade bIil."

"PIPE OF PEACE" RESTORED.
Graduates of Colby College Are This
Year Enabled to Continue Old
and Honored Practice.

When the class of 1862 left Colby
they introduced custom which lasted
until 1903, with all the succeeding
classes, says the Lewistown Journal
This custom was that of smoking on
commencement day pipe, which was
kept at the college for this purpose,
and On this eventful day in the lives
from the pipe. whether they had
ever smoked before or not The So
called Pipe of Peace" was an i'm
mense pipe with stem two feet long
and a bowl with a human face en-
graved upon it in the front, while
around the sides were found many
other profiles. This wonderful pipe
remained at the college for forty-odd
years and was smoked by every man
who graduated during that time, but
in 1903 It mysteriously disappeared,
and was not heard from until the
past week, when il was returned to
the college. With the disappearance
OF the pipe the custom disappeared,
and thus the classes since 1903 have
not had the privilege of smoking a
pipe of peace" Now, however. that
the pipe is safely back at the college,
and is being watched over by Dr. Hall
at the library. it is very probable that
the old custom will again be taken up
and that the class of 1909 will on COM
mencement day of this year be seen
putting away at this valuable old relic,

Crop GROWING on Small Scale.

making an interesting experiment in
barley growing upon his land to test
the possibility of raising corn on a
small scale. In 1907 he sowed 7S spe-

yielded 400 ears. The resulting ker.
nels he sowed in 1908 and harvested
in IA weeks, with the result that he
got a bushel of threshed barley, which
he has sown this year, his object be-

Why the dean responded, readily,

raised horses. He once put out to
pasture a colt, which had been fed
from its birth in box stall and wa

THE pasture lay across a small

colt swan the stream to go up to the

my doctor used to urge me to
give up coffee, but l was willful and
continued to drink it until finally in a
case of severe illness the doctor in
sisted that l must give up the coffee,
so l began using Postum, and in
month 1 felt like a new creature.
Il steadily gained in health and
strength. About a month ago 1 be-
