Cold.

The Usually Anabie Frenchman Has q
Cold.
Max O'Rell was not in the bappiest of
MOODS when he met NEWS representative
at the Narragansett this afternoon. The
famous Frenchman had cold in his head,
and chest and talked through his nose
somewhat. He came from Taunton, where
he lectured last hight and thought he got
the cold while in a bath.
However he sat by big, great fire and
and toasted himself, and expected to be
in better shape by the evening for his lee
ture at Music Hall.
Max is a short, somewhat bald man,
with some gray hair and gray mustache,
and with most agreeable manners, though
to-day he felt bit depressed, as man
who is alone in a strange place and isn't
very WELL always does.
Mr. O'Rell said Maj Pond was the most
mysterious man in the world. and he got
very little information about his appoint
ments. He said he did not know where

Pay Your Board.

A gentleman, we know not his name,
but he has several, has been on trial this
week for the offence of boating hotels
He put up at one Of the leading hotels
and wanted to buy everything in the
county, we are told After living on the
best the house contained, including ci-
gars charged to his bill for settle
ment in the future, for some days, he
boarded "blind baggage" and started
east. Was caught at Granada, where he
had organized an insurance company,
and brought back for trial. Having no
money he applied to the court for coun-
sci and jury trial. Twelve men good
and true were found after hard search
by the sheriff, and after hearing the tes-
timony and arguments of the learned
counsel, for two day and several nights,
brought in verdict of murder-no ac-
quittal, and the costs assessed against
Prowers county amounting to over $50.
For further particulars apply to the
county commissioners.

Rather be City Marshal.

The board of commissioners have been
in session this week and judging from
tie pile OF papers on their desk esely in
the week, and the numerous personal"
kicks being made to them about this,
that and the other every day, and which
has taken up large part OF the time, the
path of county commissioner is not all
strewn with flowers. The office of coun-
ty commissioner has always to us been
the summit Of earthly ambition, and to
US any man, who was ever in the past
or has any reasonable hope in the future
of being elevated to the Office, has
been an object of awe and veneration-
We have changed our mind. The few
minutes spent in the county clerks Of
fee this week, and the worn hunted look
upon their faces when seen up
on the street during the hours
of adjournment, has worked rad
ical change in our views, and we have
about made up our minds that it would
be preferable to be city marshal

On last Monday evening, April 9Th,
Kit Carson Post, assisted by the Wo-
mems Relief Corps. celebrated the quar-
ter centennial OF the organization Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic. A pleas
ing program had boon prepared for the
occasion, and large audience filed the
Christian Church to overfiowing. The
program was opened by the Lamar Cor
net Band with some of their best selec-
tions, which they played in good style.
Post Commander d. E. Cooper read the
general orders from division headquart-
ers, containing an account of the first or
ganization Of the Grand Army; U. H.
Vanorsdale gave a history O. the or
ganization OF Kit Carson Post anil the
local Women's Relief Corps. The ad-
dress of the evening was delivered by c..
c. Goodale, and it was one of the most
brilliant Of the many stirring addresses
that eloquent gentleman has made to his
old comrades here. The program was
interspersed with sp'e did selections by
the Cactus Club, which always adds vol
umes to the success of any entertain
ment in which they take part. The
large number of our citizens who were
present expressed themselves as well
pleased with the evenings celebration,
and together with the REGISTER wish the
comrades the pleasure of many more
such happy gatherings.

Mrs. NJ. A. Metcaf with her two sons,
Joe and VIII, left Tuesday for their new
home in Corpus Christi, Texas. Their
departure is heavy loss to Lamar,
where they have SO long resided and been
prominent in the interests of the town
and county. The Sparks, under her
management, has always been active and
keenly alive to the interests of Lamar
Her sons, Joe and Will, have always been
prominent in professional, business and
social circles here, and OF all the many
families who have made their home in
Lamar in the past and found it to their
interest to remove to other sections, none
will be missed more than this estimable
lady and her two bright boys. We wish
them all unmeasured success in their new
location and sincerely hope whom their
thoughts wander back to the old home
and the friends they have that wo will
be ono Of the fortunate number.

HOLLY, CoLo., April 9th
Ed Register the east bound
train pulled into the station this morn
ing two gentlemen, who claimed also to
be geese hunters, dropped off on the
platform. After partaking OF lunch
at the ranch store, they girded up their
loins, also their arms, and started out to
slaughter the wild geese that are such a
pest in this neighborhood, promising us
that by night there would be nothing
but goose carcases left in the neighbor-
hood. They left early and came back
late, but the only opportunities they had
to shoot at geese WIS when they got in
range of each other, and they were too
tender hearted to take advantage of these
openings. They were as liberal with am
munition as with tales OF their mighty
hunting exploits. Said they were from
Pixies Peak. They returned on the night
train, and as they each had a pass l was
unable to find where they were going, but
a gentleman here claimed to have seen
them in your town once when he was
there. NIMRoD.

Our ReiIamx Colony.

Among the farmers on our streets this
week, we noticed those honest grangers,
E. F. Seeberger, James Boyd, 1. L. My
ers, and j. S. Hasty. There is some talk
of their organizing and farming under
the Bellamy plan. The only hitch is
that each one wants the job of sowing
the wild oats for the entire organiza-
ton. If liberal division of this crop
can be arranged, nothing else can pre-
vent their mutual organization.
