FOREPAUGH SATURDAY

There are many little details In
the show business which the gen.
eral public does not consider, ac-
cording to the Press Agent of the
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Broth
ers Big United Shows, which come
to Greeley. Saturday. August IL.
In the management OF such an
institution there are many things to
interest one. A person wonders
how the circus is enabled to exhibit
polar bears day after day during the
heated summer season. When told
that it is made possible by always
keeping a quantity of ice In the
bears cages, the questioner looks
wise and then replies: Why,
might have known that"
Mountain lions, bears, panthers,
wild cats and all similar animal
live on animal meat, several beeves
being cut up each day and distribut-
ed among the menagere inmates.
II $4,000 gallons of water are re-
quired to quench the thirst of the
score of elephants, Geo horses,
500 people and 200 menagerie
animals, and there is no nearby hy-
drant or running stream, the circus
manager at once orders water wa
gons, and in less than an hour the
water is arriving at the desired
point by the thousand gallons.
| There probably is no better regu-
lated circus en- tour That new
things in the circus line do exist
has been proven this year, A long
list OF European novelties presented
are most refreshing, new and de-
cidedly out of the ordinary. espe-
cially the automobile double somer-
sault thriller.
Brand new is the Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers Shows, not only in
regard to its special performance,
but as to the construction of the
tents, wagons, cars and in fact
everything pertaining to the prop
erty, all rebuilt this year. perfect
circus is the verdict.

THE REFERENDUM

That the democrats lesislated
wisely when they adopted the plat
form pledge of the initiative ana
referendum is attested by the man
ner in which the voters OF the state
have ayailed themselves OF the
privileges they hold under the ne"
law. 1t is expected that mighty
howl Will 20 up from the republican
orrans over the cost 10 the state OF
submitting laws TO the people. ms
;s 10 be expected. Crazed by the
popuIarity OF the measure the re-
nubIicans VIII attack the only spot
that they believe antagoniSm to the
law can be generated.
But their howl viii be without
avail. Every voter can not be sent
20 the general assembly, out every
voter has vital interest in the laws
DaSsed by the state legislature.
There never has been a legislature
in Colorado that has not enacted
laws that would not have been repu-
dated by the people, if the people
had any way under heaven of hav-
jng their say. Some OF the shin
ing examples in statecraft that have
adorned bte legislative halls have
made the state a laughing stock OF
its sister states by the laws they
have somehow managed to squeeze
through. Whatever the cost may
be OF referring laws TO the people,
it is money well expended, for it
places the power of self govern
ment with the people themselves
exactly where it belongs
There will also be reaction fol-
Tho FIRST on thp
part of the people. Vested with
this new power. the voters will
watch more carefully what is being
done in the assembly and will assert
themselves before obnoxious meas
ures can he passed. With the
threat of the referendum hanging
islators will be triile slower in
plunging against the current of
public opinion for their own indi-
yidual gain.
The first dose of the referendum
to the legislators may be drastic,
but it will he most wholesome. Not
only will the chang overs" profit by
the lesson, but future solons will
take counsel from the actions OF the
voters at large. 1t will no longer
be q case of ITO hell with the peO-
pie. I'm elected now"
The referendum will stand like a
grim powerful monitor ready for
action the moment the state legisla.
ture resorts to old time chicanery.
1t took an extra session to get it
and the first fruits may not be the
cheapest, but it's worth q hundred
times the price, for it will stand for
all time, and can not be controlled
by . political gang.

most of them had never made a
speech in their lives, all were called
upon for few remarks and most
OF them made an effort to say some
thing. W. E Kinsella, secretary
of the fair association, j. f. Nc
Crery, secretary OF the Greeley
Commercial club, and others, told
what was being done to make the
coming fair the greatest ever held
in the state.

Mr.. McCrery, land there is no rea-

JUNE d A HOLIDAY
Governor Wants State to Join
In Paying Tribute to
First Minnesota.

A proclamation asking the people
of the state to observe June %. the
fiftieth anniversary of the departure
of the First Minnesota, as at least a
half holiday has been issued by Gov
ernor Eberhart. The proclamation
follows:
To the People of Minnesota, Greet
ing:
In honor of the magnificent SER
vice rendered to the country and
the state by the First regiment of
Minnesota volunteers on the battle
field of Gettysburg half a century
ago, the citizens of St. Paul have
planned an appropriate and gener-
Gus demonstration to take place
Thursday, June %, 1911.
1t seems to me fitting, therefore,
that the people Of the entire state
should join in this tribute to the
veterans of whose splendid record
we are all proudly appreciative, and
] hereby recommend that the day be
generally observed as at least q half
holiday. in which all should partici-
pate as far as possible.

which has six thousand population
and is about thirty miles south of

He is being guarded in his home
night and day by loyal natives.
When last heard from Mr.. Reed
was in the town of Booliman, seven
ty miles south Of Fee, in the noun
tains, where no white man has ever
been except the missionaries.
Mr.. and Mrs. Enyart, Miss Carey
and Miss Tryon are in Mequinez, one

It is forty miles west of Fez and one
hundred miles from the Mediterran-
can coast at Tangier.
The last letter from Mr.. Enyart,
written in Mequinez, May 6, said:
"Durinp the DAYS of rioting manv
sought to destroy US. From my own
window could see and hear them,
but God put it in the hearts of our
neighbors to keep US hidden and
even to guard our street by day and
night. And God gave us house
impossible for the rioters to get to
as long as our neighbors stood for
our help"
The letter speaks of the bravery
of the three women missionaries.

Probably Murder.

That Emile Amann, water inspector of
Warren, whose dead body was found
Saturday morning near the cOmpany's
resirvOir was murdered, has been estab-
lished beyond doubt by the postmortem
examination. In addition to the bullet
wound entirely through his head second
wound was discovered. 1t entered the
body in the center of the spinal column
severiDg the cord and came out on the left
side of the neck. 1t would be a physical
impossibility for the victim to have fired
this shot and either this wound or the one
first discovered, through Amann's head,
would have proved fatal,
There is absolutely no theory in sight
upon which the local authorities and out
of-town detectives who have been called
can fasten theory. Mr.. Amsnn was so
far as known without an enemy and was
of friendly jovial disposition. His pri-
vate life was clean aud his record known
in the community.

Unique Stories of Pennsylvania Crime.

That truth is stranger than fiction" is
no empty saying is apparently to have
strong exemplitication in series of
articles soon to be published in Sunday
issues of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can. The first will appear next Sunday,
February 5.
Under the general caption, "Pennsyl-
vania's Greatest Crime Mysteries" one
of the articles will appear each week.
Crimes that have been the talk of coun-
ties for years will be attractively pre-
sented, with view to bringing out the
noteworthy features rather than TO re-
peat the horrible details.
Each article will be clothed with the
charm of graphic presentation and will
read as engagingly as the works of the
writers of the great detective stories.
The articles will have historical value
in that they will present in concise and
complete form the facts that became
known piecemeal at the time of the oc.
currences treated. The series will be o.
especial value to those who are making q
study of criminal law and to those who
study the causes and consequences o
crime.
The first article of The North American
series will deal with "The Murder Mys
terry of Baer's Woods" the crime tina
ranks as the most mysterious in the his
tory of Chester county-one in which two
men gambled for high stakes, a life and
! fortune on the table,
