THE FARCE GOES MeRRlLv ON.

Just one report from Fort Smith OF

route to Oklahoma tells Of the conris.
cation Of shipment of coffins loaded
with five-gallon jugs of whiskey con.
cealed In a load of wood, In a box OF
merchandise billed to woman's
name, and supposed to contain dry
goods, and in box of books. which
last would have gone through unsus.
pected, but that the literature"
sprang leak.
And SO the farce goes on of at.
tempting to enforce statewide proh:.
bition laws which never have been en-.
forced, never will be and never can
be in communities where public sen.
timent opposes them. Meantime
enough stuff gets through undetected
to make 1t worth while for 1858 re.

TO THE ELECTORATE OF
THE list JUDICIAL DISTRICT

While official returns have not yet
been canvassed, it appears that l was
defeated on Tuesday last for the nom
ination as candidate for district
judge. In Clear Creek county l re-
ceived large majority over both
my competitors, and in Idaho Springs
more than two-thirds OF the votes, my
opponents dividing between them
less than one-third. l also received
large p,uralities in each CT the ccln-
ties which. with Clear Creek, former
ly composed the district, t. e. Grand,
Gilpin and Jefferson. These majorities
and pluralities, though not sufficient
to overcome the vote CT Arapahoe
and Adams counties, both of which
have been recently attached to the
district, are very gratifying to ME
because they show that the slander-
o;:s and otherwise unfair campaign
waged against me by certain interests
failed to influence the voters where
em personally well known.
My regret en- my own behalf is less
than on behalf of my many friends
who wished me well. and on behalf of
Clear Creek county which has never
had district judge.
The loss to me is more than over
come by my qualification upon the
support given to me in the mountain
counties of Clear Creek Grand and
Gilrin and the valley county of JEFF
ferson.
/ desire to hereby publicly EXPIRE SIS
my appreciation of that support and
also o: the support of the indepen-
dent Democrats who voted for me
in Adams and Arapahoe counties

religiously.

that Will GUARD

New York, Nov. 6.-War department
experts who are at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds for Il series Of tests
of Il new 14-tnch coast defense gun,
believe that the larger weapon is de-

expected, will be plaCcds in the Pana-
ma canal fortitiCatiOns, in Honolulu
and in Manila haTbor, as we'll as
througOut the New York harbOr de-
lenses.
AS compared with the 12-inch gun,
the I4-inCh type does not appear to
have much greater weight or size, but
n efficiency it has marked advantage.
The old style CannOn IS good only for
70 shots, whereas the new gun will
stand ESQ discharges before it is ready
for the junk pile. Furthermore, the
construction, being partly of wire, is
much less expensive. The projeCtile
which weighs 1850 pounds, and is s.
inches long, is so per cent larger than
the 12-inch shell, and the bigger wea-
pom has a so per cent larger range.
The 14-inCh gun as installed at San
dy Hook, weighs fifty tons. while the
weight of the carriage complete is 2S6
tons. The weight of all the parts of
the gun that move is 1852 tons. and the
