Follmer, who was In Lewis- town Monday, says that the Denton postolice has been moved from the old Dent ranch, where it has been for so many years, to the John Ross ranch two miles and a half up the creek. Although John Ross has been postmaster for many years, his dep- uty, George Allen, living on the Dent ranch, has been In charge of the of- flce. Mr. Allen has now gone from there and Mr. Ross will himself look after the office, the stages being com- pelled to travel the additional distance in reaching the new location.

The fight was advertised as a twenty round one but it lasted only seventeen . Lewis seemed to have the best of the mix throughout with the exception of one round, when Calla- han floored him for the count of nine. He gamely stuck at it throughout the rsond, however, and by stalling man- aged to save himself. Callahan was a surprise to fight followers in this city and he put up a good exhibition and took a wonderful lot of punish- maent. Lewis excelled him in science and generalship and should have had the decision had it not been for his desire to end the fight In the seven- teenth round, when he let his enthu- siasm set the better of him and rush- ed in on the Kid and struck him when he was on his knees. There was noth- ing left for Referee Bebb to do but to give the decision to Callahan. There counu be no objection to this decision as it was clearly a foul and could be uealt with in no other way. As a whole the fight was one of the best that has been fought in Lewistown. Callahan out-weighed his dusky oppo- nent and they both had knockout blows on hand, which, if they could have landed them. would have settled the fight on short notice. Go to T. W.

Denver, Colo., Dec. 25.-If the Fif- teenth general assembly of Colorado. which is to meet on Wednesday. Jan- uary 4. shall effectuate the plans formulated by the managers of the Republican post election campalhn. GoveJhor James H. Peabooy may serve as chief executive of this state for two years more despite the fact that Alva Adams still has nearly ten thousad plurality since the votes of five Dmever precincts were thrown out bodily by order of the supreme court In consequence of frauds expos- ed in contempt proceedings against election officials. There will be a Republican major- ity of thirty or more In the general assembly which will canvass the vote for state officers. It is proposed to have the general assembly appoint a special centest committee of nine to twelve members to which will be sub- mitted the evidence of wholesale elec- tion frauds in Denver and possibly some other counties which the Repub- lican commlittees have been collect- ing ever since the election. The Republican managers maintain that with the fraudulent vote of Den- ver eliminated.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE Old City Jail Has Been Converted Into the Office for the County Attorney and Surveyor. With the first of the year ili n,,,I officers of the county will st.1,, •ol and the new ones take their placq.s with the exception of those who wv.r'v lucky enough to secure a re-election. Another exception is that of the con- ty treasurer, who will hold over until the first of March. Much work has been done at the court house in the way of repairs and the new officers will get the benefit of these improvements. The space formerly occupied by the old jail has Leen renovated and Its appearance much changed. Lavatories have been installed in part of thib space and a large office fitted up for the use of the county attorney and the county surveyor. The commissioners have decided that the county attorney should have his office in the court house, and this is the reason for the htting up of the new office. The sur- veyor has formerly occupied part of the office used by the superintendent of schools, but this room was hardly large enough for the two officres, so the change will be made. In the office of the clerk of the Court the new clerk. John B. Ritch, will begin work with the office in good shape. This is probably tie most pleasant room in the building and Is nicely furnished. Mr. Iitch will be at the office himself all the time and he will have a competent deputy in the person of Peter Oswller. Mr. Oswiler was the deputy in the of- flice of the assessor last year and is thoroughly fitted for his new posl- tion. He will probably help Assessor Pick through the busy season in tas.t office, but it is the plan to make hinm the regular deputy in the office of the clerk of the court. Miss Meyersick will retain her pres- ent office on the first floor of the uildllng and will have more room thl.4 year than she had last. This office has been nicely furnished by Miss Meyersick and makes very comfort- able quarters for the county superin- tendent of schools. Assessor Frank Pick will retain his old office on the main floor and will only have a deputy during the ex- tremely busy season In the assessment work and writing up the books. County Clerk and Recorder Frank J. Hazen announces that there will be no changes in his office force. This decision will meet with the approval of all, for a more capable set of men could not be found. The office is al ways conducted in a business-like way and the deputies are thoroughly com- petent. George Canon and Charles Meyersick are the deputies in this office. In the office of the sheriff there has been some rumor of a change, but so far as can be ascertained this ru- mor is without foundation and no changes are contemplated by Mr. Sla- ter. The only change which has be.en made is that of the deputy at Ken- dall. Mr. Iischer. who was appoint- ed last fall, has resigned his position and Arthur Ikennis has been made the deputy for that town. Mr. Den- nis will make a gooMl officer and the choice will meet with the approval of all residents of the mining town. Mr. Slater will still be assisted here by Ed. Martin, Ed. Silverthorne and r rman Tnllock. E. P. Chandler. the treasurer.elect. will not take hold of the affairs of his office for some months yet, so J. M. Croft will start the year at his old stand in the court house. The' treas- orer is allowed a deputy only at tax- paying time. Judge Cheadle and the county commissioners will occupy their old quarters. John B. Ritch is already on duty In the ofice of the clerk of the court and is gettlag onto the ropes and tak- ing a few polnters from Mr. Wright. He will be ready to take full charge when the doors open on the morning of the 3rd of January, Monday, the second. being a legal holiday. Herefeon Cattle.

Just a Smile.You can drive the clouds away

With a smile,Just a smile;

Turn the darkness into dayWith a smile,Just a mile;

Oh, there's nothing, when a manpeels the weight of sorrow's yoke.

In this whole wide world that canAll distress and grief revoke,

As a mile.Just a mile.

How the way is brightened upBy a smile,Just a mile:

Sweetened is the bitter cupBy a smile,Just a smile;

Oh. the world may frown at you,And your spirits try to blight,

But tie skies are ever blue.If you always have i sight

Just a mile,Merry smile.

It's a simple little thing,.Ie a smile,Just a mile;

But 'twill Joy and gladness bring,Will a smile,Just a mile;

Miny hearts will dry their tearsAnd go singing on their way.

And they'll put away their fears,Thinking of the glad today,

By your smile,Gladsome smile.

How the heavy burdens fall,By a smile.Just a smile;

Hope again beams over all.By a smile.Just a mile;

Lonely lives are cheered each day.Duties lightened. hearts made glad.

Heaven's beauty flls the way.If to kindly words you'll add

Just a mile.Happy smile!

Dick Lewis and Kid Callahan, ofthis city, indulged in a fierce encount-er at the Tivoli theater last Fridayevehing. The fight was advertised asa twenty round one but it lasted onlyseventeen . Lewis seemed to have thebest of the mix throughout with theexception of one round, when Calla-han floored him for the count of nine.He gamely stuck at it throughout thersond, however, and by stalling man-aged to save himself. Callahan wasa surprise to fight followers in thiscity and he put up a good exhibitionand took a wonderful lot of punish-maent. Lewis excelled him in scienceand generalship and should have hadthe decision had it not been for hisdesire to end the fight In the seven-teenth round, when he let his enthu-siasm set the better of him and rush-ed in on the Kid and struck him whenhe was on his knees. There was noth-ing left for Referee Bebb to do but togive the decision to Callahan. Therecounu be no objection to this decisionas it was clearly a foul and could beuealt with in no other way. As awhole the fight was one of the bestthat has been fought in Lewistown.Callahan out-weighed his dusky oppo-nent and they both had knockoutblows on hand, which, if they couldhave landed them. would have settledthe fight on short notice.

NEW OFFICERSBEGIN DUTIES

Old Officers Will Step Down and Outand Newly Elected Ones Take

Their Places January 1st.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE

Old City Jail Has Been ConvertedInto the Office for the County

Attorney and Surveyor.

With the first of the year ili n,,,Iofficers of the county will st.1,, •ol

and the new ones take their placq.swith the exception of those who wv.r'vlucky enough to secure a re-election.

Another exception is that of the con-ty treasurer, who will hold over untilthe first of March.Much work has been done at the

court house in the way of repairs andthe new officers will get the benefitof these improvements. The spaceformerly occupied by the old jail hasLeen renovated and Its appearancemuch changed. Lavatories have beeninstalled in part of thib space and alarge office fitted up for the use ofthe county attorney and the countysurveyor. The commissioners havedecided that the county attorneyshould have his office in the courthouse, and this is the reason for thehtting up of the new office. The sur-veyor has formerly occupied part ofthe office used by the superintendentof schools, but this room was hardlylarge enough for the two officres, sothe change will be made.

In the office of the clerk of theCourt the new clerk. John B. Ritch,will begin work with the office ingood shape. This is probably tiemost pleasant room in the buildingand Is nicely furnished. Mr. Iitchwill be at the office himself all thetime and he will have a competentdeputy in the person of Peter Oswller.Mr. Oswiler was the deputy in the of-flice of the assessor last year and isthoroughly fitted for his new posl-tion. He will probably help AssessorPick through the busy season in tas.toffice, but it is the plan to make hinmthe regular deputy in the office ofthe clerk of the court.

Miss Meyersick will retain her pres-ent office on the first floor of theuildllng and will have more room thl.4

year than she had last. This officehas been nicely furnished by MissMeyersick and makes very comfort-able quarters for the county superin-tendent of schools.

Assessor Frank Pick will retain hisold office on the main floor and willonly have a deputy during the ex-tremely busy season In the assessmentwork and writing up the books.

County Clerk and Recorder FrankJ. Hazen announces that there willbe no changes in his office force. Thisdecision will meet with the approvalof all, for a more capable set of mencould not be found. The office is always conducted in a business-like wayand the deputies are thoroughly com-petent. George Canon and CharlesMeyersick are the deputies in thisoffice.

In the office of the sheriff there hasbeen some rumor of a change, butso far as can be ascertained this ru-mor is without foundation and nochanges are contemplated by Mr. Sla-ter. The only change which has be.enmade is that of the deputy at Ken-dall. Mr. Iischer. who was appoint-ed last fall, has resigned his positionand Arthur Ikennis has been madethe deputy for that town. Mr. Den-nis will make a gooMl officer and thechoice will meet with the approvalof all residents of the mining town.Mr. Slater will still be assisted hereby Ed. Martin, Ed. Silverthorne andr rman Tnllock.

E. P. Chandler. the treasurer.elect.will not take hold of the affairs of hisoffice for some months yet, so J. M.Croft will start the year at his oldstand in the court house. The' treas-orer is allowed a deputy only at tax-paying time. Judge Cheadle and thecounty commissioners will occupytheir old quarters.

John B. Ritch is already on dutyIn the ofice of the clerk of the courtand is gettlag onto the ropes and tak-ing a few polnters from Mr. Wright.He will be ready to take full chargewhen the doors open on the morningof the 3rd of January, Monday, thesecond. being a legal holiday.
