THREE REASONS FOR BUSINESS MEN.

THREE REASONS FOR BUSINESS MEN.
1. Because we don't want a change.
Garfield's election insures a continu-
ance of the present prosperity, while
Hancock's election introduces an ele-
ment of uncertainty and distrust which
cannot be estimated.
2. Because the Republican party has
a fixed financial policy which events
have proven successful while the finan-
cial policy of the Democratic party
varies to suit the exigencies of every
election.
3. Because a party which holds that
the first allegiance of the citizen is due
|, to his State, and which has not scrupled
to repudiate the debts of nearly every
State in the section it controls, is not
likely TO be more careful of the credit
of the Nation.

YESTERDAY 60: West LasAnimas, Colorado.
Mr.. W;,boc- has relatives in that city III
business, and also relatives about ninety
miles further on, who have large cattle
rancho. sometimes numbering 10000
head. We have no doubt the change Of
climate will prove beneficial to his rather
failing health, and we think a few weeks
out on that cattle rancho could be spent
with much satisfaction and a good deal
of pleasure.
Died, Friday evening, at sunset, Roy,
infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. 10. Palmer,
of this city, aged eleven months. Though
less than one short year in age, his life
was full long enough to have father and
mother and loving sister mourn his loss
very deeply. We know it Is we'll with
the child, yet We sympathize with neigh.
Dor Palmcrs in their bereavement, and
we, too, shall miss the baby face and baby
prattle of little Roy. AS Mr. Palmer
owns cemetery lot in Preston, the re
mains were deposited in the Preston GEM
ctery, Mrs. Palmer taking them over on
Monday last.
| Last Friday five tramps were arrested
for fighting The row occurred on the
corner by the Richards block. There
were three against one, the fifth fellow
urging on the fight and enjoying the sport.
The weapons used were pieces OF rock,
and when Chief Of Police Riley got pos
session of the chaps they were mad and
bloody. The next morning they were
brought before Squire Griffith and plead
"guilty," like honest men. Mr.. Griffith
fined them $40 each, or ten days IN the
county Jail. They chose the Jail, where
they are now serving their sentence, hap

-F1RE.-A good deal Of scare, con-
sidera bic smoke and a lively turnout from
the prayer meeting was all occasloned by
| combustion or sunthin' stronger, last
Thursday evening about 81 O'Clock.
The shed IN the rear of Herman Gunz's
store was discovered on fire, aud for
few moments serious results were feared.
A few brave workers, however, soon put
out the flames, and the danger was passed.
1t is remarkable too, as the shed was full
of combustible material. including a
large can of kerosene oil. The heat was
so intense that the solder was melted
from the top of the can, still there was no
combustion. That oil has been fairly
tested, and may be considered safe to burn
in your lamps. The origin of the fire is
mystery. Everybody comedies it
narrow escape from an extensive contla-
grafton, and the insurance men are con-
graduating themselves. The alleys will
have 10 be cleared of these tinder.boxes,
or we will have fire which will amount
to something one of these days.

Business in town is dull. Lively
enough in the country, however.
Harvesting is progressing finely; the
greater part of the grain will be cut this
week.
We need good hardware store, and

Father Morse has some warm friends in

H. L. Crane has been selling piles Of
lumber this summer, and has made more
money we think than all the rest Of the
business men in Rose Creek.

passed resolution to the effect that every
member of the Club will support only
temperance men in the coming election.

Barley is pronounced thus far to have

Rose Creek is to have another black

are to he the proprietors. 1t is tie opin-
ion of every one that another shop is
necessity in Rose Creek.
-"HOw IS the wheat ?" is the great
question. Well, here is our judgment:
There are many good pieces OF wheat,
but the blight, wet weather, and cbinch
bugs, have all conspired to bring down
the average to eight or ten bushels, may
be less.
