The Denverlte, however, came back fro?h in the 12th round and, although severely punished in that round, managed to keep off the determined rushes or the Bos tonlan.

DENVER, Oct 3L Capiases were sorved yesterday on seven well-known res idents of Washington and Yuma counties. located in the northeastern part of Colo rado, based on indictments returned by the Federal Grand Jury sitting at Puoblo last week, charging forgery and perjury in the location of Government lands in the counties referred to. Those arrested are Peter Campbell, of Akron, Colo., former Register of the Land Office; P. E. Bce- ney. Treasurer of Washington County A. A. McKcan, Clerk of the District Court of Yuma County; D. W. Irwin, prominent politician and former nowspaper pro prietor or Akron; Wr E. BuclL hotel man of Yuma; E. C. Stoner and O. P. Smith, ranchmen. Inspectors of tho Land Office have been working on this investigation quietly for soveral months, and claim to havts ovi dence of gross frauds committed by a ring which included former officials of the Land Registry Office at Akron, and high ly respected citizens. They assert, how ever, that a great number of the offenses have become outlawed, and that nothing can begone in these Instances. But they further declare that their Investigation Is by no means completed, and that the next Federal Grand Jury will be presented with evidence that they believe will result In many additional arrests. Tho plan followed by the alleged viola' tors of the law In the Akron district, the Inspectors explain, was to make fraudu lent final proofs on abandoned timber culture claims. CONTAGION IS CHECKED Smallpox Cases Are Promptly Quar antlncd by Authorities. During the past month there have been 70 fumigations of premises on account of contagious diseases in tills city, eight of which occurred yesterday, and in one in stance, relating to the case of Mrs. J. W. Van Blarlcom, who resides on the Base Line road, near West avenue. Mount Ta bor, the symptoms of smallpox are alleged to have been very pronounced. She was removed to tho pesthouse In a serious condition, and her residence placed under quarantine, the entire house being fumi gated. Four children reside there, but. having been vaccinated, there is no im mediate danger of their contracting the disease, although it Is not unlikely that others have been exposed by coming Into contact with them. Five smallpox cases in all have bcenNquarantlned, and the health officers are taking proper precau' aions In preventing the spread of conta gion. The Arleta School Board intends to enforce compulsory vaccination of all pu pils in the district, 250 in numbbr, under rule 23 of the state health laws. The quarantine in this neighborhood has been rigidly enforced, and no new cases of smallpox have been discovered. CLARK GUTTED THE BANK Shortage In- Enterprise WTrcck Will Exceed $.1,500,000.

It may be aplece of superfluous advice, to urge people at this season of the year to lay In-a supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It Is almost sure to be needed before Winter Is over, and much more prompt and satisfactory results are ob tained when taken as soon as a cold is contracted and before it has became set tled in the system, which can only be done by keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy Is so widely known and so alto gether good that no one should heBltate about buying It in preference to any oth er. It is for Bale by all druggists.

NOBODY IS EXEMPT" A Xcw Preparation Which Everyone Will Xccd Sooner or Later. Almost everybody's digestion is dis ordered more or less, and the common t thing they do for It Is to take some one of the many so-called blood purifiers. which. In many cases, are merely strong cathartics. Such things are not needed. If the organs are In a clogged condition, they need only a little help and they will right themselves. Cathartlca Irritate the sensitive linings of the stomach und bowels and often do more harm than good. Purring is not what is needed. The thing to do is to put tho food In con dition to be readily digested and as similated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly digest what If eaten and give the stomach Just the help It needs. They stimulate the secre tion and excretion of the digestive fluids and relieve the congested condition of the elands and membranes. They put the whole digestive system In condition to do Its work." When that Is done you need take no more tablets, unless you eat what docs not agree with you. Then take one or two tablets give them needed help. and you will have no trouble. It's a common-sense medicine and a common-sense treatment, and It will cure every time. Not only cure tho disease but cure tho cause. Goes about It In a perfectly sensible and scientific way. We have testimonials enough to fill a book, but wo don't publish many of them. However Mrs. E. M. Faith, of Byrd's Creek. Wis., says: "I have taken all the Tablets I got of you and they have done their work well In my care, f or I feel like a different person altogether. I don't doubt if I had not got them I should have been at rest by this- time." H. EL Wlllard. Onslow. Ia., says: "Mr. Wnite. of Canton, was telling me of your Dyspepsia Tablets curing, him of Dyspep sia, from which he suffered for eight years. As I am a sufferer myself I wish you. to send me a package by return mall." Phil. Brooks. Detroit. Mich., says: "Your Dyspepsia cure has worked won ders in my case. I suffered for years from dyspepsia, but am now entirely cured and enjoy life as T never have before. I gladly recommend them." It will cost 50c tp find out just how much Stuart?
