FowLER's POLITICAL DANCE.
The Candidates and Fowler's Society
People Have Good Time.

Last Friday evening fair women and
brave men and candidates assembled in
strong force at the Fowler school house
for an evening Of political oratory and
tripping the light fantastic toe, as some
oft-quoted literary celebrity has describ-
cd the mazy dance. The ENTERPRISE
was on the ground early in the afternoon
to become better acquainted with our
constituency in that prosperous section,
but the farmers were too busy to be in
town, and consequently the candidates
there did not have much material to
work on. Andy Waddington drove
through but was too full OF work to talk
politics. J. 8. Gilbert rested from his
blacksmithing for time so that the can
didates would not he entirely out of ma
terial on which to try their blandish-
monts. Q. L.. Fenlason was putting on a
full head OF steam in preparations for -he
dance. Ed Gilbert was caring for Nc
Masters drug store, and Harry Lee was
keeping the store comfortable for the
unusual crowd Of out-of-town loafers.
Postmaster Denny's store was crowded
during the early evening with customers
for both departments of his business.
IL. NJ. Fosdick presided, and short
speeches were made by Messrs. Reynolds.
Potter, Steward, Stevenson, Patterson,
Kollock. Fenlason, Terry, Voorhees,, Nor
ton an I Burkle,.
The speaking over, soon the merry
sound of that finest of musical tnstru-
ments, the violin, was heard in the ad-
joining room. The festivities continued
until o'clock Saturday morning, fine
supper at Mrs. Lemons being served
about midnight.

Now that the election is over
let's all settle down to business,
doing our very best to make things
go our way in spite of the discour-
aging circumstances. Let every
body get out of debt as soon as
possible and never get in such a
box again, whatever tempting spec
ulations may have to be abandon
ed, or privations may have to be
endured.

In spite of the large expendi-
lures of money by the liquor in
terests to defeat equal suffrage,
that measure of justice has surely
carried. Pueblo county has the
odium of polling the largest ma
jority against it of any county in
the state. We congratulate the
women on their new opportunities
for doing good.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1893-11-09

The elections throughout the
country show Republican gains.
Ohio gives Mckinley 10000 ma
jority. Other states make sim
liar change of base. Pueblo county
gives Republican majorities ex-
cept for Wicks, who runs 294 be-
hind Voorhees,. In Otero county
the Populists elect Morris, clerk.
The Republicans elect Fenlason,
superintendent of schools; Allen,
assessor; Cressey, surveyor, and
Sears, coroner. The Democrats
elect Potter, sheriff; Reynolds,
treasurer, and Vroman, commits
sioner. We have not space for
full returns this week. Voorhees,
has been elected judge by over
plurality of more than 200 over
Wicks, his greatest opposition.

A CRITICAL reader charges that
the ENTERPRISE in the last issue
wavered from its non-political po-
sition, and appeared as the cham
pion of one particular candidate.
Not SO. No candidate used space
in our columns to the exclusion of
his opponents. The columns of
this paper were open to all on the
same terms.

THURSDAY. NOV. 0. 1893.

GoLDBUG papers say that the
repeal will not restore confidence
to the eastern financiers, but that
the west and south must quit talk
ingsilver. The repeal was a pic
mic compared with this new con-
tract which the gold worshippers
have undertaken. The silver agi-
tation is yet in it's infancy.

The Ordway descriptive article
has been ready for the printer for
the past two weeks but has been
crowded out by the demands of
the campaign-the desire of the
candidates Of all parties to reach
the attention of our large and rap
idly growing list of intelligent
readers. That the campaign is
over is pleasing fact to the can
didates and the ENTERPRISE, and
we can now proceed to fill our col
umns with local and agricultural
matter and Otero county news,
which shall tend to develope the
resources of tho choicest section
of southern Colorado, and at the
same time make the ENTERPRISE
the leading paper in Otero county.

BEAUTIFUL oRDWAY.
Magnificent Territory Be-
ginning Phenomenal De-
velopsment.
ORDwAY FARMERS CLUB.

Last Thursday the editor of the
ENTERPRISE accepted an invita-
ton to attend the meeting of the
Ordway Farmers club. Hon. G.
w. Swink kindly consented to be
our guide thither, and he proved
to be well posted on both the geog-
raphy and history of the country,
having hunted antelope and pio-
neered the survey of irigating can
ais through the country trayersed.
After crossing the ridge just be-
yond the Arkansas a vista Of ag-
ricultural lands opened before us
that possessed many points of
beauty in the eyes of the irrigating
farmer. Just after sundown we
arrived at the elegant and hospit-
able home of Hon. Geo. N. Ord
way, the pioneer farmer Of that
section and the father of the town
bearing his name. Mr.. Ordway's
home has all the comforts and
many of the luxuries of life, with
a fine piano to entertain musically
inclined guests, and the parlor
walls adorned with oil paintings
executed by Mrs. Ordway and
showing marked talents for such
artistic work. After supper we
drove to town, one mile distant, to
attend the meeting of the Farmers
club, recently organized, with the
most promising prospects.

lover a note, requesting that he would
have a carriage in waiting in the shady
lane at eight o'clock that evening, to
take them to the nearest railroad sta
tion.
How delighted the dear boy would
be to find his troubles ended at last !;
and surely he would prize and love
her all the more for the trials
through which they had passed.
1t was a rainy evening, yet punctual
to her appointment, Miss Fitzsimmons
was in the lane as the town clock
struck, disguised this time in q cloak
and sunbonnet over her handsome
travelling suit.
There was no carriage in sight, and
after waiting an hour, she concluded
to go to Carols studio, feeling sure
that he could not have received her
note.
She found the door open, and step
ping within discovered everything as
usual, except that the artists palette
and brushes lay strewn about the floor
as if purposely thrown there, while
Miss Wnymack's portrait, still mounted
on the easel, was adorned with pair
of spectacles, and moustache daubed
across the upper lip.
While Elaine gazed wouderingly at
this singular conception, there entered
the old woman whose duty it had been
to keep his studio in order.
"Where is Mr.. Caroli?" inquired
Elaine, hastily.
"Deary me miss you don't mean as
you haven't heard the news?" ans
wered the old woman, with something
of pity in her tone.
"What news?"
"Why, that Mr.. Carols gone away,
missl Went away last night by the
nine o'clock train-him and Miss
Josephire-to get married, Miss.
"MarriedP" shrieked Elaine.
''To be sure, miss; the which it's my
opinion they ought to be ashamed OF
themselves, though he did tell me /
was welcome to all he left behind, and
guv me besides"
But Elaine heard no more. The
shock was too great for her, and she
| tainted.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons took his daughter
abroad with him that summer. On
her return she married the sensible,
practical son of her fathers business
partner, who had long been devoted to
her, and to whom she makes a good
wife.
She has never been known to allude
to the pretty and fanciful little romance
which she had arranged, pd which
ended in real one upon which she
had not counted. Saturday Night.

The FaIIacy of a Theory.

There were many strange incidents
in connection with the sinking of the
Victoria, but perhaps the strangest of
them has not yet been recorded. Af-
ter the ship foundered two articles
which had been lying in Admiral
Tryon's cabin were found floating, were
picked up and have been brought
home. One of these articles was the
Admiral's telescope; the other was his
dispatch box. Now, this box was of
peculiar construction. It was made
accor ling to special service regula-
tions in order to contain the code of
signals. 1t is essential that these sig
nails should not fall into the hands of
an enemy. The box is therefore lined
with with lead and perforated with
holes at the bottom TO insure its sink
ing as soon as it is thrown overheard
But what happened? The great ship,
constructed with all the ingenuity of
modern science on purpose to float,
sank like stone. The lead-lned,
perforated box, specially created to
sink, hoated, and now lies at White
hall, testimony to the fallibility of
two sets of designers. Toronto

AstO the healthfulness of going with.
ont shoes and stockings, there can,
says the London Hospital, be no ques-
tion. Some of the healthiest children
of the world are to be found in the
Scottish Highlands, where shoes are
seldom worn at an earlier age than
twelve or thirteen. The African and
coolie laborers, who work bare-footed,
are usually in robust he llth. Brown,
in the History of Man, tells of an
African monarch who suffered from
what appeared to have been a cold in
his head, besides other ailments, while
his people were always as well as pos
sible. Can it be that the reason was
that, by the laws of his kingdom, he
alone was permitted to clothe his feet,
and that he gratitied his vanity by al.
ways wearing gorgeous sandals? 1t is
probably generalizing too much to
state, as a medical fact, that the bare
footed races are the healthiest. But
it is certain that bare feet are health
ier than badly-shod feet. In our Eng
lish villages children are constantly
sent to school in wet weather with
holes in their shoes. They sit for
hours with damp fee, and illnesses are
the result. If their parents would send
them off barefooted, as is done in Scot
land aud Ireland, their feet would dry
by evaporation in a short time, and it
would be found that no harm followed.

Justice John NJ. Harlan, of the
United States Supreme Court, and one
of the arbitrators of the recent Bering
Sea Tribunal of Arbitration, stated in
private conversation in st. James's
Hall, London, at Sunday mission
meeting, that he personally believed
that on the occasion of future differ
ence between England and the United
States the Intervention of strangers
would not be invoked, but an equal
number of the judges. of the highest
courts of both countries would be ap-
pointed to settle the difference.

The ''rido-trenching tool Of NJ. de
Layen, which was recently tried nj the
Armory House Parade Ground, Fins
bury, and is expected Sin one sense to
revolutiouize the warfare of the fu.
ture," consists essentially of ap an
rangement by which spade or such
like tool can be fixed to the butt of IL
sihe without preventing the weapon
from being ready for use either with
shot or bayonet To this end there is
a receptacle in the butt, and the spade
fits into it with Il spring catch. OF
course, the stock and barrel of the rifle
become the handle of the spade.
1t is claimed for this appliance that
it will enable every infantry soldier to
be his own sapper aud riAe-pit maker,
and the tool wagon will become un-
necessary. Moreover, if there is no
time to fix the bayouot the spade itself
will he makeshift, aud when not in
us0 it can he carried in leather case,
slung across the chest of the soldier,
thus balancing the weight of his hayer-
sack and forming a breastplate against
sword, bayonet, or lance, and possibly
bullets. Nj. de Layen, We may add,

Since the loss of lives on the copst
Of New Jersey at the time of the recent
great storm there has been an agita-
lion in the seaport towns and summer
resorts along that coast in favor of an
extension of the time of employment
Of the men in the United States Life
Saving Service. Four seamen of the
wrecked schooner Mary F. Kelly were
drowned at Asbury Park, for instance,
within thirty feet of the shore, while
hundreds of people stood on the beach
unable to help them. Twenty-four
seamen were drowned off the New Jer-
sey coast in a range of ten miles, where
there were then four unoccupied life
saving stations. The life-saving crews
are discharged on May l, and do not
get employment again until September
l. 1t is argued that violent storms
occur in August, and that the life-sav-
ing crews at least should be employed
from the beginning of that month.

A keeper at the London geological
Gardens was employed on account of
his supposed fondness for animals. He
was soon found to be disliked by the
animals, who exhibited their aversion
in many ways. 1t was suspected that
while outwardly treating them with
Kindness he must secretly hurt or an
noy them. He denied having done
anything of the sort, aud his general
manner seemed to bear out his protes-
tations. A watch was set upon him,
with curious result. 1t appeared
that he never spoke to the animals,
and for that reason alone his presence
was intolerable.

Grub or Plant2

The most curious of all objects in
New Zealand is that which the Maoris
call "aweto." One is uncertain
whether to call it an animal or plant.
In the first stage of its existence it is
simply q caterpillar about three or
four inches in length, and always
found in connection with the rsta tree,
kind of towering myrtle. It appears
that when it reaches full growth it
buries itself two or three inches under
ground, where, instead of undergoing
the ordinary chrysalis process, it be-
comes gradually transformed into a
plant, which exactly fills the body and
shoots up at the neck TO a height of
eight or ten inches.
This plant resembles in appearance
diminutive bulrush, and the two,
animal and plant, are always found in
separable. One is apt to relegate it
to the domain of imagination, among
dragons and mermaids, but then its
existence and nature have been ac-
cepted by the late Frank Buckland.
How it propagates its species is a
mystery. One traveller, after describ-
ing its dual nature, calmly states that
it is the grub of the night butterfly.
If so, then the grub must also become
butterfly, or what becomes of the
speciesp
One would be ready to suppose that
the grub does really so, and that some
fungus finds the cast-off slough con-
genial quarters for its growth. But
as far as present observation goes, the
grub never becomes butterfly, but is
changed in every case into plant. -

A Mexican paper predicts an i'm
mense invasion of that country by
American tourists this winter, and
says that the railroads are already pre-
pairing to handle the expected throng.
II thinks that the prevalence of
cholera in Europe is sure to thin out
the ranks of tourists thither, and
that they must have somewhere to go
to escape the winters cold. "The
prediction" adds the New Orleans
Picayune, "seems to be founded on
reason, and the same causes will doubt
less contribute to swell the number
who will seek the delightful climate of
our own State and of the Mississippi
coast. We may prepare for a specially
large invasion this winter"

The Baleiul LambkiII.

The leaves of common laurel or
'Iambkill' are so poisonous TO sheep
that some farmers believe that even
the grass beneath the shrubs is
rendered noxious by the drippings
from its leaves This may be a mis-
take, but the leaves are certainly rank
poison, not only to sheep, but also to
cattle. And yet, 80 careless are the
cultiyators of the soil in this respect
that in almost every field in the
Northeast may be found specimens Of
this baleful plant. If farmers would
consult their own interest they would
form united effort to stamp it out. -

SONG OF THE STARS.
When the daylight fades in the evening
nhndea-


When the daylight fades in the evening
shades,
And the blue melts in the gray,
We pitch our tent in the hrmaments
To guard the milky way
And we gather the broken sunbeams up
That the day has left in its path
To kindle and build the glow, and gild
What our sparkling campnres hath.
With fond caresses we jewel the tresses
OF the moon as she mounts tine skies
And the heavens we sprinkle with many a
twinkle
That leaps from our sparkling eyes.
But when the storm cloud rolls his car
In thunder across the sky,
And the lightning dnshes in htful flashes,
We hide, till the storm goes by.
The son is our master, and no disaster
Can come to HIS night of rest
For with constant eyes on the dim horizon
We guard the east and the west
We sometimes ind where the comet hides,
And we frighten him out Of his lait,
Till he speeds through tho night, like fox
In his Hight,
To his home in the great nowhere.
We sometimes pause in our journey because
We see ourselves in the glass
Ofthe silent lakes or the sea that takes
Our pictures as we pass.
But when the daylight quivers and breaks,
And the gray melts into the blue,
The tears we shed DER our fallen dead
Are found in the morning dew.

An electric funeral-car is California
innovation. About nine miles distant
from San Francisco are four large
cemeteries and a crematory, and it was
to bring them near the city that an
electric railroad company introduced
the new hearse. It's first patron was
benevolent organization, one of whose
members had died. At the time ap-
pointed for the mourners to leave the
city the electric funeral-car, appro-
priately draped in black, was in readi-
ness. The body was lifted by the pail
bearers from an undertaker's wagon to
the car, and the bearers took their
seats in section reserved for them.
The conductor rang the bell twice, the
motorman changed his gong to clear
the track of mob of interested spec
tators, and the funeral procession
started, the mourners in electric cars
following the hearse. The run from
the starting point to the cemetery was
made in an hour. The cor was switched
off on track inside the cemetery gates
ansl the pallbearers lifted out the coffin.
Then the funeral procession was re-
formed and moved slowly off towards
~ chapel.

THE GRATEFUL HEART.

thankful am for all good things;
For every bllthesome bird that sings;
thankful am for May and June
When most my life with Life's In tune;
thankful am for Strawberries,
And very glad of cherry trees
OF apple blossom and the fruit
OF mellow nut and pungent root.
Great good and solace come to me
From flowers upon the dogwood tree;
An unknown warbler sets me wild
With wonder like an eager child;
And to my charmed and seeking eyes
Each varied toadstoors surprise.
thankful am for all fair things
For life and all the bliss II brings
My soul is very glad thereof
Because God made me out Of love;
And most Joy, beneath his trees,
To thank the Father-Hear for these.
