at last the source of the dead Matt

that this wealth had not decreased

documents were in that chest, but they
were treasures of themselves.

Why had she come with proofs Of
Blair's guilt Of the murder OF DR.. Lee

And now that this gypsy woman was

Measure Adopted in Senate, Changed
on Second Reading in House.

Denver.-The House of Representa-.
tives took up the last part Of the work
to make the prohibition amendment to
the constitution effective on Jan. 1,
1916. On second reading it passed
Senate bill 429. by Senator Peterson,
prohibiting the state treasurer from
issuing retail liquor licenses extend
ing beyond Dec. 81, 1915. The meas
ure provides, also, for the refunding
by the state treasurer and by county
and municipal authorities of proper
tionate amounts of the moneys paid
on those licenses now in effect which
were issued for periods extending be-
yond the first of the new year.
By its enactment the measure will
enable the state treasurer to issue IL
censes for this year good until the end
of the year. It also will prevent the
raising of any question after next Jan.

are now in force and which were is

ment was passed to be good for

About Farm for Insane Colony.

Denver.-Irrigated land suitable in
all ways for farm to be conducted
in connection with the insane hospi-
tai in Pueblo is difficult to find, ac-
cording to DR.. John S. Hasty, chair
man of the Senate finance committee
and head of legislative joint COM
mittee which went to Pueblo and went
over much land and several farms, but
failed to locate any which had plenty
of water and sufficient pasturage for
the 200 milch COWS needed to supply
the institution. "The need of a farm
is apparent" said DR.. Hasty. THE
hospital has more than 1000 patients,
of whom 300 men are capable of work
ing on a farm and who would be far
better off for the work. More mental
detectives can be cured by exercise
in the open air. The expenditure of
100000, or even more, for such pur-
pose would be real economy. 1t would
open the way to cure patients who,
thereafter, would be no burden upon
