You feel the need of a complete change
and rest occasionally. Everybody does.
Now in all the world there is probably
no country which combines such perfect
climate. glorious scenery, and the OPP
portunity to live comfortably and well at
moderate cost, as Colorado. Colorado
with its wealth of wild flowers, its won
derfully pure. clear mountain air, and
its sparkling waters, is an ideal place
to rest. To sit, just taking long breaths
of that magnificent air, and basking in
Colorados peculiar brand of sunshine
is to invite new life. Then of course,
there are all sorts OF outdoor pleasures
to interest those disposed to activity.
Let me send you the Burlington
Route" Handbook Of Colorado which
tells all about the country, the hotels,
boarding places, ranches, etc, their
rates for board and all about it. l can
also tell you all about the trains, the
price of tickets, etc, and will be glad to

what will come in the next few years
is wave OF morality and religion that
shall save the people from their alb

recollection to the fact that among the
truly religious and even the strictly

The Bibber Murder Mystery.
The Bibber murder seems to be drift
ing into the unsolved mysteries. Cos
sip Of the town makes the cause mans
jealousy of woman. Yet even on that
point the people are not agreed, Some
Insist it to have been just a plain
case of robbery, possibly by some one
OF the thugs from the greater cities
who have drifted the past winter into
Portland and Lewiston. Worse per-
haps than the murder itself, cruel as
that tragedy was, is the mass of nes-
tiness and gossip that has followed
the tragedy with Shiny trail. In this
connection, | refer to the murder itself
and not the gossip and scandal, is the
claim of city official made to the
Traveller, that this is the first murder
la Lewiston for a period of % years.
Hysterical conditions, as are natur-
al, followed the Bibber murder Two
policemen found a man intoxicated by
the banks of the river and took him
home Some one saw the three men
and reported hold-up. A young man
who is soon to be married, is prepar-
ing house for himself and his bride.
He climbed out of the cellar window
one evening at dusk as lady passed
by end she screamed and ran He
pursued to explain matters but she
got away. Another scare, a plumber
went to a house to repair pipe. In
going down the walk, lie frightened
woman. Another scare. Story after
story of such import | have been told
with the names given of the parties.
All the circumstances were innocent,
but in the nervous tension caused by
the Eibber murder, the false alarm
outstripred the explanations.

already that he VIII WIN out III the
primaries, Mr. Shaw is in excellent

One of the leading statesmen of
Maine whom l met in Lewiston,
speaking of the coming primary cleo
ton said that in his mind there was
not the slightest doubt but that Gov
erner Bhrleigh would obtain, hands
down the nomination for the L. S.
Senate "The People know that the
Governor does not forget them after
election, rmarked this gentleman.
Edward c. Burleigh's record is fresh
in their memories. Why when he was
in Congress he would work his shoes
off his feet to get things done for a
constftuent-an it made no difference
after election, whether that constitu-
elt was Democrat or Republican.
His whole life has been one of service
to his district, to the whole State, to
all Maine people especially in behalf
of soldiers of. the Civil War. Voters
don't forget these things. Burieigh
will win and a mighty good thing that
will be for Maine"
