"Well, go to it! The task of the in
dependent investigator, of which we
are some, is now to discover, first,
what are those conditions, and, sec
ond, what causes them. With the ex-
ception of Mr.. Hallowell, we all know
what this guiding power is"
Don't get it, growled Simmons.
"Now, look here, Simmons, you are
very loyal to Mccarthy, for whatever
reason, but your loyalty is misplaced.
For one thing, your man has disap-
peared and will not return. That last
message scared him out. For another
thing, we're going to need you in our
campaign, the worst way"
I'm from Copenhagen; you got to
show me-" said Simmons.
barrow laughed softly.

He sketched briefly, for Hallowell's
benefit the reasoning already followed
out, and which it is therefore unneces-

sis: that these phenomena are caused
by one man in control of force
capable of deadening vibrations in
ether and solids within certain definite
limits"
"Why do you limit IT," cried Hal
lowell. -.
Because we have had but one mani
festation at time If this unknown
were out really to frlghten- which
seems to be his intention 1t would
be much more effective to visit us
with absolute darkness and absolute
silence combined That would be real
ly terrifying. He has not done so.
Therefore, I conclude that his power
is limited in applicability"
isn't that little doubtful" spoke
up Jack.
"Of course said barrow cheerfully.
That's where we're going to win out
on this sporting proposition with our
dear Brother Eldridge He won't ac-

is known as the crows foot. This IS
a deep convolution of decorative de-
sign which is so adhesive that the
ordinary cosmetic will turn tall and
flee. Crowsfeet seldom settle on the
young, but locate with great energy
on the cheekbone Of age. Some society
people grow crowsfeet at the age Of
forty, due to studying bridge hand
until o'clock in the morning, and
would be glad to exchange them for q
mild, domesticated mole or some other
unobtrusive blemish.
Wrinkles are sometimes caused by
wearing spectaciess fitted by an eye
specialist who graduated from q glass
blowing factory. This produces
wrinkles which mingle at the bridge
of the nose and enable the owner to
pass them off as evidence Of deep
thought. Many a man is wearing set
of encrustated wrinkles due to the
astigmatic nose glass and getting BY
with the neighbors on the score OF
studious habits.

Simmons thrust a message across
the table.
barrow took it quite calmly. At this
moment Hallowell entered. AS
What time did this Gomez" asked
barrow, nodding to the reporter. nj
AT twelve thirty"
barrow nodded twice with great
satisfaction.
Then quite deliberately he unfolded
the paper and perused It's contents.
without change OF expression he
handed it to Hallowell. The latter read
it aloud:
ITO the people:
"A traitor is among you-one who
has betrayed you, one and all, but
whom you cherish to your bosoms as
viper. I, who am greater than you
all, have laid my commands upon him,
and he has seen fit to disobey. He II

cried Hallowell. "He doesn't even men

people who are to hunt him down!

Darrow's face expressed a sleepy
satisfaction. He stretched his arms
and yawned.

Jack, "that settles 1t. Everythings run

Sedgwick County Exhibit

If the people of Sedywick county
could spend few days or a few weeks
in Denver at the capitol building they
would be highly gratified to watch
the crowds of people that daily stop
and inspect the exhibit from this coun.
ty. The exhibit is most tastefully ar
ranged and so displayed as to give the
products of the county the best show
ing possible and the people stand in
front of the Sedgwick county exhibit
and talk and compare with their own
section and go away saying nice things
about section of the state they have
ne. er visited but which they will al
ways remember from what they have
seen what the soil produces. No bet
ter or sanner advertising could have
been done for this part of Colorado and
those having this work in charge are
deserving every prasic for the magnifi-
cent way in which they handled the
work Sedgwick county has 365 days
in the year advertisement in the capitol
building in Denver. You want and
weed to see it to appreciate it.-C. o.

Object to Paying Their Taxes

The Union Pacific Railroad Company,
through their agent, Mr.. Arthur H.
Schribner. was here Monday and ten
dered the County Treasurer S5,s47. SO
for their first installment of their taxes
for 1912 or forty per cent less than
the amount on the books of the treas
urer, they claiming that this forty per
cent withheld to be lille gal, basing their
claim principally on the basis that their
assessed valuation is much higher than
other property in the county. At a
meeting of the State Board of Equali-
cation in 1912, the railroad company
appeared for the purpose Of having
their assessment reduced and ike same
was overruled. The County Treasurer
refused to accept the above and in as
much as this matter effects the state
taxes as we'll as county and school tax
es, Mr.. A. F. Perrier County Attorney
has tsken this matter up with the At
torney General and some decision will
probably be reached at the meeting of
the Board of County Commissioners
next week. We are not prepared to
say whether the contention of the rail-
eoad company is right or wrong but
we do believe that no difference should
be shown in valuations and it. the rail-
road company's property has been val

ward trip.
Paige will be placed en- trial for the
murder of his chum Harold Ford who
was murdered near Meridcn in March
1911 according to Paiges story. He
claims that he and his chum started
west and his chum had a little money
they were bumming their way and fell
in with another tramp. That on the
morning of the murder he, Paige left
the other two and had gone but short
distance when he heard revolver shot,
that he hurried back to his chum and
found him dead with bullet hole in his
throat and that he Immediately fled.
That he came west and enlisted in the
U. S. army at Fort d. A. Russell, Wyo.
and deserted from there and came to
Julesburg where he has been for the
past year or more.
The murdered boy was not found till
May 1911 and continued search has
been made by the authorities ending
in his capture by Sheriff Thunderstorm
two weeks ago on information sent
to his office on a postal card.
The officers were loud in their
praise of Sheriff Thunderstorm not
only for making the capture but for
the safe way he had guarded his pris-
oner until the ir arrival. Mr., Humber
stone will probably receive some re-
ward for the capture altho the exact
amount has rot been settled upon.

Julesburg Defeated By
Narrow Margin
Cheyenne has Wonderful

In the cleanest, fastest and best
basket ball game ever held in this city,
the Champions of Northeastern Colo
radolwer defeated by the Champions
of the Rocky Mountains by the narrow
margin of two points.
Julesburg took the lead at the start
and held it until near the-end of the
game. when Cheyenne, by burst of
speed forged ahead and won the
game.
This game was a treat to the Jules.
burg fans, not only because it was the
first time that two Championship team
have met in this city but because of the
fact that the CO ontest was absolutely
clean an above board. Coach Jones
was loud in his praise for the Julesburg
team, stating that they showed the true
elements OF sportmanship.
The local boys were without the SER
vices of Adams and to the mind of the
writer if Adams had relieved Scott at
the end of the first half, the score
would have been four points in Jules
burg's faver, Both teams showed
wonderful team work and the exhibi-
tion of basket shooting was the best
ever seen upon the local floor.
This game drew the curtain upon the
boys basket ball season with a total of
twelve games played in which Jules
burg has scored sive hundred and nine
ty six points against their opponents

Ovid Notes

The District School at Blue
berry Corners was staged at
Ovid on last Saturday night and
those fortunate enough to see the
show enjoyed it immensely and the
people of Scdgwick are to be con-
graduated on the way in which
the program was carried out, the
acting of Mr.. Miller as school
teacher deserves special mention.
This entertainment was given in
connection with the basket social.
The proceeds from the sale of the
baskets were very gratifying and
soon the Ovid base ball boys
will be displaying some stunning
new suits. and by the way, from
present outlook Ovid will have a
team this year that will be second
to none in the county.
Any good improvement adds to the
value of the farm much more than the
cost of improvement, good fence is
not an exception to this rule. Ameri-
can fence sold by the Ovid Lumber
Company.
The Warrcns have taken up their
residence in town having moved
into the house recently purchased
from Tom Reeder.
Put up good fence and let the hogs
and other animals go after the waste
places, pick up the lost grain, eat and
grow fat on that which otherwise
would never bring penny. The best
and only fence sold by the Ovid Lum.

On next Friday evening, Feb v
2S. a program will be rendered by
the pupils of the Ovid school.
One of the main purposes of this
program lie to bring the parents in
closer touch with the workings of
the school and on this, account it
is hoped that every one will turn
out and get acquainted with the
teachers, come and see Just what
they are doing with the children.

in the county. and the WORK of the

The Silo in the Semi-arid West

In the vast region between the one
hundredth meridian and the mountains
where the rainfall averages less than
twenty inches, the growing of corn
and ordinary farm crops is some what
uncertain not because the rainfall is
insufficient to mature crop, but be-
cause the farmers now occupying this
region arc not sufficiently acquainted
with the methods necessary to conserve
the moisture to be sure of results.
Under these conditions the dairy COW
and the silo are veritable Gcd-sends.
There never was year so dry but by
reasonable exercise of care crops of
corn, milo, kaffir and sorghum that
would run from thrae to six tons per
acre could not be raised These
crops properly sliced will furnish
abundant feed for the dairy herd dur
ing the winter and the periods of
drouth when the pastnrage is short.
With the ready market for cream and
the possibilities Cor abundant ensilage
there is noreason why the entire plains
country with it's fifteen inches of rain
fall cannot be made profitable as a
stock and dairy country.
Pat Donnelly received a check for
twelve dollars at the Herald cream
station Saturday from weeks milk
ing of seven cows besides the milk,
butter and cream used in the home
during the week. Mr.. Donnely is one
of our most wide awake farmers and
usually gets all there is out of the
farming business. He gives his cows
the best of care besides feeding them
plenty of good feed in the way of hay,
corn fodder and corn. Twelve dollars
week besides the milk, ETC., for a
family is not to be snuffed at. Dairy
ing is profitable. Mr.. Farmer are you

What Kind of Crops can be
used in 4 Silo

Any kind Of forage crop may be
converted into ensilage. Corn by rea.
son of its succulent nature, kaffir, milo
and the whole sorghum family make
good ensilage. Alfalfa and clover are
easily preserved in this way, and in
fact most any of the grasses can be
taken directly from this field when
damp and placed in storage with much
less trouble than curing them in the
field and hauling them to the barn or
stacking them.
