His First Experience.

The widow of Gen. Miramon has
published the memoirs of her husband,
who, it will be remembered, was ex-
ecuted with the Emperor Macmillan
and Gen. Mexia. 1t appears that even
in their last moments the doomed men
were cheerful, and even humorous.
When Macmillan left his cell, he
rejoiced that the weather was so favor
able, and remarked that it was as fine
as if it had been specially ordered for
the occasion. Suddenly the solemn
tolling of bell was heard.
II suppose that is intended for our
death knoll" remarked Maxmillan
turning to Gen. Miramon.
II am unable to give your majesty
any information on the subject, re.
piled Gen. Miramon, "as this is my
first experience in being executed. "

Rapid changes are coming lover
our neighboring county of Bent.
Though heretofore recognized as
leading and almost exclusive stock
raising region, large ditch enter
prises have been projected there
wi thin couple of years and atten-
ton is directed quite gen orally to
farming. With the bitches new
people that knew nothing of the
range stock business, have come in.
Old time ranchmen are considering
how they can bring their herds to
the limits of pasture, and how to
provide feed to supplement their
abridged ranges The town boom
ers of western Kansas invaded the
eastern border of the county this
year. At the same time the older
towns of West Las Animas and La
Junta have been infused with new
energy and are making substantial
growth. Quite recently local stock
company was formed at La Junta,
composed of railroad men, for the
purpose of buying out the original
owner of the site and giving the
town push forward l'y advertising
its advantages to the world. Among
the stockholders are the names of q.
NJ. Rathburn, A. G. Stiles, Mr.. Steen,
County Commissioner Kerr, DIR. G.
w. Mel, Sam Strauss, Geo. d. Phil
lips, G. A. Gilgore and Homer Al
len, the last two having been desig-
mated as agents of the town compa-
ny. Among the plans of the com-
pany are new hotel, and the extern
sion of ditch covering agricultural
lanes south of town. Pueblo Re

for occupancy In week or SO, and
other smaller ones are running.
Here, for example lis spacious hard
ware store, full of goods, and several
other stores are doing a lively trade.
The depot building, tank etc., were
moved here between two suns, from
the old Blackwell station, three miles
east on the A. T. & S. F. railway.
The land on all sides is held at a
premium of $500 to $1,000 per quar-
ter section, which the owners "filed"
upon within month, twenty-five
foot lots in town are jumping up a
hundred dollars a day. Is this a
legitimate speculation? Quite proba-
bly, it is, as an irrigating canal is
begun some Is miles west, and sew
eral miles are already completed.
This is to carry water along the sum
nit of the ''divide" on the south,
from which all the land down to the
river and a wide belt on the southern
slope, will be supplied with water,
changing it from aridity to fertile
fields, that will doubtless bear abun-
dant crops. So, with the agricultu-
raj prospects and the large cattle
business in this region, there seems
to be no reason why there should
not be flouLi>hing village, or city
right here. 1t is wonder it was
not thought of before.
The above was written two weeks
ago, since which time the town has
grown beyond all expectations.
There is no question as to the sub
stantial value of property in that new
Colorado wonder. 1t lies in the
heart of a good country far enough
from any other large city and hav-
ing all the advantages to make it
great. 1t will be u second Garden

GARDEN CITY. KAN, JULY 90
Perhaps no event since The creation
of the land Office in Garden City has
created more enthusiasm and gener-
al good feeling among the people
here than the reception of a :ele-
gram from Washington announcing
the establishment of land office at
Lamar, Colorado. Indeed, it is a
question III my mind who are most
pleased with the result, the people
of eastern Colorado are those of
western Kansas. Certain it is that
their interests TO a large extent are
identical and akin to each other.
Lucky Lamar! Her much ridiculed
nom de plume, the mascot city of
eastern Colorado, was no misnomer
after all, and the sickly country
journals so p:ofuse with their dirt
singing can now retire to the shades
of congenial Oblivion and view from
afar the fair young city as she rears
her majestic head above all her ell
vious rivals.
No town of its age anywhere in
the great northwest has ever started
under more favorable auspices, and,
what is more gratifying, everything
points TO Il continuous and healthy
prosperity for all time to come. The
vast acreage of the best agricultural
lands on which the sun ever shope
lying adjacent to the town gives
promise to the citi zens that their
homes are located in self-sustain-
ing community, with assurances of
rapid increase of production as the
country develops under the steady
care and cultivation of its hardy set
tiers.
The creation of land office at
Lamar means in few years one of
the most populous counties in the
state. 1t means the general cultiva-
ton of the Arkansas and other val
ieys throughout eastern Colorado,
making the whole the Garden spot
OF the state. 1t means that Bent
county in the future will be the great
agricultural county of Colorado, COW
ering an area of land larger than
the state of Massachusetts and with
nearly every acre valuable for agri-
cultural purposes.
The reception of the news Great
ing a land office at Lamar caused the
town company to withdraw portion

aged BY two or three social leaders with
experience and updisputed swav, 1t was
cay enough to give ball for which only
ladies' and gentlemen were allowed to
purchase tickets. But New York has
grown so rapidly and society Is so thor
oughly cosmopolitan and has lately split
into so many sets and cliques that it is no
longer poss bic to give a public ball for
which the tickets are sold. and not lind 1t
dimmed by the presence Of Objectionable
people. The history Of the charity ball IL
Illustrates IL very well. Eighteen or twenty
years ago 10 was impossible TO get tickets
Tor the charity unless they were purchased
from one or two society women in
New YORK, These ladies sold the tickets
in their own houses. They were sold to
persons with whom they were well ac-
quainted or who were known to be emf
nently respectable. In the course of time,
however, they fell into the habit of sell
ing fifty or hundred tickets to business
or personal friends who did not exercise
this care. Thus millionaire dry goods
man who happened to know the society
leader would take hundred tickets off
her hands, give her a check for a thOus-
and dollars, and then give them TO his
cashier to be sold for sweet charity's sake
10 people OF the highest respecIabiiity.
This is the way things started, and they
went from bad to verse. The result was
seen at the last charity ball when queer
actresses and women whose superabun-
liant diamonds were much brighter than

PORTLAND, ORE, Feb. 14.-The anti

ternoOn with about 100 delegates present.
The following resolutions were passed
without debate:
WHEREAS. In defiance of article /. sec
ton aud amendments and Of the cOusti-
tuition o. the United States, aud in utter vIO-
lation Of the law, GOV. squire, Of Washing
ton Territory, mas " tn all the insOlence Of

assemD lage of the people, killing one n d
wounding three others IN the city Of Seattle

WHEREAS SAID squire has illegally impris-
oned and deprived Of their liberty various

lions be printed and forwarded 10 every labor

The above mentioned two resolutions
were the only ones which the Committee

recommended that three of a large num-
Der OF resolutions that had been handed

adopted. The first was a resolution call
ing on Congress to abrOgate all existing
treaties In order that immigration from
China to this country may be stopped,

c0tG' on the OregOHiGR and Eceuinq Ieie-

boycotters and rioters and sticks up for

speakers who attempted to debate against
the resolution and tried to say that the
Chinese were here under authority of the
law were hoOted down by noisy lobby.

baby whose body IS covered with hai-

head, extended down over her eyelIds and
covered the bridge of her nose, distiguring
an otherwise beautiful face. The opera
ton was for the purpose Of removing this
growth of hair. The patient was placed
under the influence OF an an8sthetIc and
the surgeon made an incision in the skin,
covering the forehead and the cheek
bones on each side and through the
outer skin of the eyelds and upper part OF
the nose. Then be cut through the skin
over each eye, leaving pair of eyebrows.
The skin was removed and small pieces
were cut from the PATIENTS limbs and
transplanted over the forehead, nose, and
eyellds. The child was so completely
covered with mOles that the surgeon was
obliged to make the ransplantation of
several small pieces of skin instead of one
piece.

times more slightly that if it was disfg-
ured by that MOLE"
The little patient did not seem to mind
