He generally stood with his hands knit behind him or folded before him and three or four times took snun out Of a plain brown box. Once he looked at his watch which. by the way. had q gold face and. l think. brown hair chain. like nn English one. Ills teeth seemed regular. but not clean.

WILL MEET HERE

Glcnwood has been chosen by the
state farmers union as the meeting
place for next year. and they announce
that they will be here in full force in
March.
To George b. Lang belongs the cred
it for the selection of this city. a vote
was taken and Glenwood and Rocky
Ford were tied for the honor, but Mr..
Lang, who has always been stanch
booster for Glenwood, east the dccid-
ing vote and Glcnwood was chosen.
There were some $50 delegates at
tending the Pueblo meeting this week,
but it is reported that the Glenwood
meeting will see many more delegates
as well as hundreds of visitors, who will
take advantage of the low rates and
are sure to make this side of the state
visit.
This is the first organization to an.
nounce its intention of coming here
next year, and is but a drop in the
bucket to what we will get if we will
only go after things. Build the aud.
| itorium and Glenwood will have a con
vention every week during the spring

THE PIERSON SALE

The sale of personal property at the
Pierson ranch up Elk creek last Satur-
day brought out a large crowd from
all over the country, and from pure
ly financial view the owners should be
pleased with the results.
The auctioneer was Shott, many of
the bidders were more than half shot,
and, as one of our correspondents has
suggested, the bidding was quite "spir-
tied.
A good luncheon had been provided
but owing to the lack of system in
serving, some were not very well pro
vidcd for, especially the ladies who
were too modest to participate in the
free for-all scramble for sandwiches
and coffee.
Some good live stock was Offered and
this brought good prices, as did every
thing else that was put up. The furni
ture and agricultural implements alsc
brought extra good figures.

especially hard task, but he made good

Meadows were declared the nominees.
Still no cheering.
Barlow received five votes for perm
anent chairman, bat thought that not
enough. Later he and Hedrick were
made permanent chairman and seere-
tary, respectively. On motion of Geo.
kendrick the ticket will be called "The
Democrat Ticket +. II. Selhorst, G.

pointed committee on vacancies.
Chairman Barlow announced that he
would appoint precinct committeeman
at later date.
II. w. Smith ANNOUNCED that the
democrats thought it best that no plat
form be made, but that they should re-
ly upon the work of the democratic
council the past year. He moved, how

CHARGED WITH
HORSE STEALING

James Barrett of near New Castle
was arrested Thursday on a charge Of
horse stealing. The complaint was
sworn to by al. Robertson Of this city,
Barrett was arraigned before Justice
White Friday morning and released on
$50 for his appearance at the prclim
mary hearing March %.
Robertson alleges that Barrett went
on the range and secured the horse and
that he was unable to locate the ami.
nal for several weeks. and then only
after other parties had told him of see.
ing the animal in Barrett's s possession
Robertson claims to have purchased the
horse from Will Baxter and in order
to prove his claims has had Baxter re.
turn from Mexico to serve as a witness
in the case. The case promises to
bring out some very complicated deal
ing. and will be more than ordinarily
interesting.

The special session promises to be a
very busy one, for aside from the tar
iff debating tha. will occur, there are
other questions coming up for settle
ment. One of these has already been
settled in the lower house, and Uncle
Joe Cannon was reelected speaker.
This action was taken in spite of the
fact that the democrats in the west
howled long and loud during the past
campaign against him. The minority
party selected Champ Clark of Missouri
as leader
1t is to t'e hoped that the republicans
in Washington will do better job of
keeping pledges than has the Napier

day afternoon. During their conversa.
tion, the subject of the moral wave thar
is sweeping the country came up, and
these men gave their opinions of the
final outcome
For the purpose of convenience we
shall call them "Mr. A., "Mr. b.. +"
and "Mr. c."
Said Mr.. A: 'Boys. l have Just
been 'uhrough Utah and stopped at
Grand Junction. tell you, things look
mighty blue for the saloon interests in
Grand Junction. Why, do you know
what they are doing down there? They
are betting two to one that Grand juno
tion will go dry, and l will tell You
what 1 will do with you fellows. III
bet you twenty five dollars to one dol.
lar that you can't sell bit of stuff
to the Grand Junction dealers. They
see what is coming, and are afraid to
buy. They are just getting rid of their
stuff as fast as they can and are not
buying any more, either"
.tt this Mr.. b. spoke up and said:
"Well, am selling bottle goods. and
do you know l have but two good
states left? They are California and
Nevada. Yes, I sell some in Idaho but
business is falling off very rapidly and
the time is coming when we will have
to hunt for something else to do for
living
Again Mr.. A. broke in and said
81 am going to quit the business now.
l have been selling liquors for the past
seventeen years, and l am competent
to sell others things and 1 am going
out of the business.
Mr.. C.; "Well, boys, what do YOU
think the supreme court will do in this
state on that case that is before the
judges?n
Mr.. b.: Why, what can they do?
That law was passed by the legislature
and the legislature is the supreme pow
er. That court will hold the law to
be constitutional They cans do any
thing else But the worst law for us is
the one in Utah. That will force them
all out of business and 1 tell you the
time is coming when | will have to
find ano.hcr job and / can see it com
ing. Of course, it is tough to have
some one else telling me what l shall
drink, but they are doing it.
Mr.. A.: "Well, there is a law that

brewers are the cause of the whole
trouble. They hear of a community and
Immediately want to start n saloon in

him to show this license every time he

Downward revision, maximum and
minimum provisions which impose an.
average maximum duty of 20 per cent.
in excess of the present tariff and num-
crous provisions by which it is estim.
ated that the revenue to the govern
ment viii be increased from $40,000,000
to $J0,oO0.O0O are the salient features
of the new tariff bill which was intro.
dueed by Representatives Serene E.
Payne of the ways and means commit.
tee.
The recommendations made by Presi-
dent Taft that an inheritance tax be
provided and that a limited amount of

bill.
The measure also provide for the is
suance of Panama canal bonds to the

restrictions made by the Mann com
mittee of the house, are incorporated in
the bill. The duty on refined sugar is
reduced 400 of 1cent pound, and on
de1trin " of cent a pound. A reduc-
tion Of II of ] cent pound is also
made in the duty on starch. Zinc ore

How tn Tell Clean Milk.

Clean milk" says Woman's
Home Companion for April. has no
distinct favor-simply sweet,
pleasant taste. II any favors are
present they are artificial. A test
for the sanitary condition of milk Is
as follows: Take a pint of milk as
1t is received from the milkman,
pour off a few spoonfuls, to facili-
tate shaking, and place in a painful
Of warm water. ninety-five to one
hundred degrees; when thoroughly
warm throughout, add one rennet
tablet which has previously been dis
solved in one spoonful Of water, and
shake, then set away in a warm
place for a few minutes. When cur
died, cut the curd thoroughly with a
knife, to let out the whey. Let stand
for few minutes, drain off all whey
possible, and continue to pour off
the whey as it accumulates. There
will then be a lump of compact curd
Cut this in two with knife, so that
it will fall out. The character of
this curd will show very clearly the
sanitary quality Of the milk. II
spongy and full of numerous holes,
undesirable forms of bacteria, par
ticularly those that produce gas, are
present. This class of bacteria is
considered by authorities to be one
of the causes of epidemic diarrhea.
If firm and smooth, with few or no
holes, the milk is clean and has been
handled in a sanitary manner. This
test may be continued further by
placing the curd back in the bottle
and filling half full of water. If the
curd floats it indicates that the milk
is unclean; If it sinks, the milk is
reasonably Clean"
