'COLORADO HAS NEW ELECTION SYSTEM First Republican State "Assembly" Is Being Held Today.

DENVER, Colo., July 30. The first JRepubllcan state "assembly," as projvided for in Colorado's new primary law, will meet in this city tomorrow. The assembly, as constituted under the primary law, is something new in American politics. While it corresponds in some respects to the old state convention it possesses other features that are radically different. The supporters of the new plan claim for it that it is in accordance with 'the modern trend towards direct nominations and at the same time tends to eliminate the bitter struggles for the ; nominations that frequently prevailed j under the old system. The assemblies are formed in the same way that state conventions were ; formed. Each party holds caucuses, : primaries and county conventions and names delegates to the assembly. The chief difference between the convention and the assembly lies in the provision that the assembly takes only one ballot on candidates for each of'flce to be filled and anyone receiving -10 per cent of the total vote in the assembly is entitled to have his or her name on the primary ballot. Following the state assemblies any .person who desires to be a candidate before the primaries and who did not receive the nomination in the assem bly can become a candidate by filing petitions with the secretary of state requesting that his name be placed on the primary ballot of any party to which he belongs. The names of 300 resident voters of the state must be signed to such petitions. The Colorado primaries this year ,"will be held on September 10. Two : weeks later, according to the new ,law, the Btate and legislative candidates will meet with the members of :tbe state central committees in Denver to draft the party platform. Though this will bring the time up !to within six weeks of the date of the Election, the law provides still another : chance for new candidates to get on the November ballot. According to the law, anyone not satisfied with the results as obtained by the as semblies, the primaries and the subsejquent platform meetings, can get on jthe regular ballot through petition by S securing the same number of signatures that would have been required ;to get on the September primary balilot and can certify a platform of his own and make the race independently. Whichever faction in the Republican party is defeated in the" assembly tomorrow undoubtedly will take advantages of the provisions of the law above cited to get on the ballot at the Nojvember election. The opinion prevails 'that the Taft regulars will be able to control the assembly, since they have the support of the state organization sand won out in the state convention llast Bpring to elect the delegates to the national Republican convention. It 1b said to be the plan of the Progressives to allow the Taft supporters to control the assembly and go ahead jwith the nomination of Taft electors land candidates for the primary election for state officers. The Progresslives will then petition to get on the Republican primary ballot and employ Tevery effort to seize control of the Republican party organization in the primaries. Failing in this plan, the IRoosevelt supporters will still have jleft to them the opportunity of running their candidates independently on Ithe ticket in November. The leadership in the fight is being taken by 'Philip B. Stewart of Colorado Springs, who aspires to be the candidate of the (Progressive Republicans for governor. Buy it now.

It Embarrassed Him. Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, apropos of the operation for transfusion of blood that he so nobly underwent on hia wife's behalf, said at a dinner In Washington: "Latter day surgery Is a wonderful thing, and I'm sure you won't think me at all disrespectful if I tell you a strange story about it. "I have a friend named Jasper, and. meeting him one day last summer, I said: " 'Jasper, you look, somehow, queer.' ."'I expect it's my nose,' said he. 'I fell down a coal hole and tore a big piece out of it " 'Why, your nose seems all right, said I. "Oh, yes, said Jasper, 'it seems all right. The surgeons, you know, grafted a piece of my arm on it. But the shape Is changed, and, besides, I can't go to the ball games any more. "'No? said I. 'Why notr "Because, said Jasper, 'having a piece of my arm in my nose, whenever I get excited over a good play I start to wave it. and that makes me so conspicuous. " Aftsr tha Roast. A tall, urbane man with a black mustache was a guest at a fashionable dinner in New York not long ago when a lady on his right, after mentioning that she had just returned from a trip to Europe, proceeded to roast" William Loeb. Jr., the collector of customs for the city. She panned that official to a rich dark brown and did it in such a witty manner that the tall, urbane gentleman laughed uproarously. "I think the appropriate death for him," she said, "would be choking with Irish lace, and I'd like to contribute some of the lace for the purpose. After dinner she asked her hostess: What was the name of the black mustached man on my left, dear? He talked so intelligently about the custom house." "I should think he would." replied the hostess. "That was Mr. Loeb xauur :. ' - .

There is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, ana" therefore, requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.

HOW TO GROW MUSHROOMS. A Way For Girls to Earn Money at Home. Mushroom culture Is an occupation in which women and girls can find a means of earning money at home. Fresh mushrooms sell for 25 to 90 cents a pound, and there is a ready market. Mushrooms can be grown the year around in the cellar in winter and in the barn or shed in summer. The spawn for a mushroom bed 20 by 3 feet will cost nlxut $2. To make the beds use fresh manure from stable fed horses. Have a load placed in a convenient spot and remove from it all hay, cornstalks and other foreign matter. Then separate the coarse from the fine and let the two piles stand for a week. During the week turn the piles three times with the pitchfork and sprinkle with water. With the fine manure mix the garden soil In the proportions of one part soil to two parts manure. Make the beds of sixteen Inch to eighteen inch boards for sides and ends. Fill In the coarse manure fifteen inches deep, pound down firmly, sprinkle with water, pound down again, put in another layer of coarse manure, pound down and sprinkle with hot water. Put Ih a three inch layer of fine manure, pound till firm, sprinkle with hot water, cover led with hay or straw, insert a thermometer and examine daily. If the temperature runs over 120 degrees remove the covering and replace when the temperature drops to between 90 and 100 degrees and remains thus three or four days. Now the bed is ready. To plant the spawn remove the covering from the bed and make holes all over the bed three inches deep and eight Inches apart. Break the spawn into one Inch pieces and insert one piece into each hole edgeways, pushing down to the bottom of the hole. Fill in with water and after this has been absorbed fill In the holes with fine straw. After four or five days spread one Inch of fine soil all over the bed and replace covering. The bed must be watched carefully for the next six or eight weeks. If top layer of soil is dry the bed needs watering. To water make holes to the bottom of the bed with a round stick, pour In hot water and replace straw covering. To pull mushrooms bend them from side to side, taking care not to disturb the small ones that have not yet appeared through the ground. SHIRT WAIST BAGS. How to Keep Blouses From Getting Mussed. How to keep the freshly laundered shirt waist from getting mussed and slightly soiled while it awaits its turn to be worn is one of the perplexities of the woman whose quarters are far too small to accommodate her belongings. If the supply of shirt waists is kept In a box or a drawer the entire stock must usually be gone over each time that one of the garments is needed, but if a bag is provided for each one of the garments the fingers need not come into actual contact with any of them until the time comes for wearing it. A half yard of white cambric, folded once widthwise, makes a bag sufficiently, large to accommodate the fluffiest of lingerie blouses, provided that the receptacle has a boxed bottom made by shirring the two sides on to an oblong strip of cloth measuring 2 by 10 inches. At the top or mouth the bag is turned under to the depth of two inches so that when the drawstring shirrings are run in there will be a narrow frill finishing. This opening is the only portion of the bag which need be handled when looking for a special waist, for one glance into it will reveal the character of its contents. Any blouse which is ever so slightly starched can be placed almost flatly in one of these bags, but one that is of net or voile must be braced with tissue paper, as otherwise the materials will fall into creases and become shapeless. How to Pack Furniture. Dispose of pieces of household furniture that are likely to be useless in the new home. If they are still good they may be sold, if noL better throw them away. Useless junk is added expense. Worn articles of clothing that are scarcely worth the trouble of packing might be given to some deserving poor person. All delicate pieces of furniture should be tied up in newspapers. Brass bedsteads also should be covered, otherwise they will become scratched in moving. It will be found convenient to keep a list of articles packed in barrels and tack It on the outside. Anything wauted may be found more readily if this method is followed. A large piece of muslin pot oyer the barrel when it is packed and stuffed in at the skies will prevent the excelsior from scattering. ; If each piece is labeled with the room in which it is to go there will be much less trouble in arranging later. The movers will place each piece ae cording to the directions oa fib label.

Is Kid McCoy

KID McCOY. NEW YORK, July 29. His friends along the Great White Way are discussing the possibility of truth in the cabled dispatch printed in loral papers to the effect that Kid McCoy, one time star of the heavyweight division of the pugilistiic firmament, had been arrested in London on a charge of complicity in a theft of $80,000 worth of gems from the Princess of Thurn and Taxis in Belgium. According to the dispatch McCoy denied any knowledge of the theft, but he was held pending the arrival of a Belgian police officer with extradition papers.

Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR At The Murray. Lewis-Oliver Stock company, indefinite. The Palace. Special Moving Pictures. "Girl of the Golden West" Tonight. The Lewis and piiver Players are now producing "The Girl of the Golden West" at the Murray Theater. It is a clever play, with actors that can act, and the scenery was built and painted for the play, thereby making it one of the best plays so far produced by this sterling company of players. Mr. Lewis as Jack Delmore, Mr. Wolcott as Luke Short, and Miss Mabel Frost as the girl, all portrayed their parts in a clever manner. They were given the very best of support by the other members of the company. "Monte Cristo" is the underlined attraction for the last half of the week. The Palace. The Palace has an extraordinarily good program to offer you this week. Monday, "The Widow Casey's Return," comedy, and "The Girl at the Key," drama.

In the production of "The Last Days of Pompeii" the electrical system is composed of a number of circuits, sixteen in all.

parts of the grounds to this keyboard and connected underneath with the knobs. When the operator wishes to explode a certain piece, he places the switch on the knob to which the wire of that circuit is attached, and the electric circuit is then perfect. A movement of the lever of the battery drives the current through the wire, firing the fuse which is attached to the piece, and in a moment it is burning. A Word Ror Sugar. Pure candy is good for children. Pure sugar Is good for grown people. Of course there are exceptions to every rule. If the doctor prescribes a diet and orders a patient to refrain from sweets the patient is bound to obey his adviser. What is the use of calling a physician and paying him for suggestions if the latter are treated with indifference? People in ordinary health need not be afraid to gratify an appetite which craves sweets. Those who have looked into the matter have been telling us lately that soldiers on the march hold out better if they have rations of sugar than if their food omits this useful commodity. A fondness for sagar is often a defense against the temptation to use alcoholic stimulants. The inebriate does not care very much about pure sweets. Christian Herald.

SURE TO BE MISSED. A Famous Cook's Lament on the Death of His Royal Master. The most successful book that was published by William Harrison Alnsworth during his first year of busi ness, says Mr. S. M. Ellis in his blog- j raphy of the English author and pubUsher, was a cookbook. It was "The French Cook." by Louis Eustacbe Cde. "the Gil Bias of the kitchen." This unique study of the culinary art brought in a handsome sum to the astute young publisher who hed purchased the copyright, and the book was in the hands of every gourmet in London. Cde had been chef of Louis XVI.. of Mme. Letizia Bonaparte and then of the Earl of Sefton. at a salary of 300 guineas a year. At another time be presided over the culinary department of the Crockfords. but his favorite master was Frederick, duke of York.

The Mystic Seven. A certain fond father sent his son to the University of Pennsylvania last fall. As a farewell piece of advice he told the young man that "his success was almost assured, since both the word success and your name contain seven letters. The midyear examinations, however, proved to be hia doom, and he was compelled to return home. "Well." said his father, "didn't yon keep in mind what I told you about the seven letters?" "I did that, father." answered the boy. "but you must remember that there are also seven letters in failure." Philadelphia Times.

The Age ef Linen. It is highly probable that the man factor of linens is of greater antiquity than that of silk. Archaeologists generally admit that the mummy cloth of the roost asdent dynastlos was a variety of finest linen. The Egyptian and Jewish priests wore it at alt their ceremonies- We find mention of fine linens all through the Old and New Testaments. When the queen of Sheba visited Solomon she was habited in linen. In Revelation the angel are clothed la "pure and white linen. Genesis tells lis that Pharaoh, arrayed Joseph in vestures of tino linen. . Silk Is mentioned is the Bible only four times.
