and father OF our town, has threshed
from 13 acres, 81 bushels of alfalfa seed.
Who can beat it?
D. @. Roberts is now harvesting an
extensive crop of broom corn, which has
proven by past experience very valu-
able crop.
A strong effort is being put forth to
establish creamery at this place. The
Ry. Co. has offered Inducements which
the farmers Of this community cannot af-
ford to lose, and we hope tho.e who are
now standing in their own Light by op-
posing it will revise their opinions.
The sound of the steamer OF Flickin-
ger & Wright has been heard in our
neighborhood several days and grain is
being tlireshed and marketed to good
advantage. Those who expected but lit
tie, owing 20 lack Of water, have reaped
a bountifnl harvest.
Miss Eva Griffin, who was expected
home soon from Oshkosh, Mich, where
she has spent the summer, has conclud-

many friends will regrot to learn that she
is not to return soon.

"A week or two ago Ford J. Steward
was one of number who raffled for a
shot gun. Dice were thrown and some
one of Mr.. Hoyle's rules being violated a
question existed as to who was entitled
to the gun. Mr.. Steward claimed that
he was the winner and took possession
OF the gun without the consent of others
interested. Some considerable feeling
was generated, resulting in the arrest OF
Mr.. Steward for stealing the gun. After
all parties had cooled down tho mistake
wus acknowledged, the gun conceded to
be Stewards and the charge of theft
Withdrawn. This statement is due Mr..
Steward, and puts all parties in the right
light.
We had one visitor on watermelon
day who was attracted at distance Of
1,5OO miles. His home is in Ohio, and a
copy of the Pueblo board of trade report
falling into his hands he saw therein an
account of last years melon festival. He
determined to see it, and was on hand
September z and had the same splendid
time that he had 30 long anticipated.
The dresses Of the ladies' and some
display of temper would be saved by
driving in a number of nails which pro-
iect from the sidewalks.

Echoes Of Watermelon Day.
An Agricultural Editress' Opinion.

An Agricultural Editress opinion.
Mrs. Neva G. Child, of the
Ranch, Pueblo, was an interested
visitor. From her long and we'll
written account of the trip hither,
we make the following extracts:
"Handsomer orchards are to be
found nowhere. The trees are not
yet old enough to bear, but given
a year or two more, they ought to
go far toward furnishing fruit for
the state.
There was no stiuginess shown
for if one happened not to be
suited with the melon cut for him,
he had but to say SO, to have an
other put before him.
We thought at first the bright
tin spoon carried in the manner of
a button-hole boquet by many, was
the insignia of some society, until
it was explained that these articles
helped the watermelon on the way
to be eaten. In each de-
partment of the Fair the display
was creditable though not SO great
in quantity as such a big valley
might show if each farmer had
brought his best product for exhi-
bition. There can be but
one verdict and that unanimous.
Rocky Ford has the best water
melons, the most hospitable peo-
pie, and the most generous and
enterprising Fair officials of this
or any other state. May the other
cities of our state profit by the
example set them, and may Rocky
Ford grow as she deserves and ma
ture evidently intends, till she is
the garden spot of Colorado"
Another Lady's Opinion.
Mrs. NJ. j. Benedict, of the
Castle Rock News, has an inter-
esting descriptive article, from
which we make the following ex-
tracts:
"The town is perfect forest of
trees, the streets are broad and
clean. Walters with great
knives ike sabres would bring the
great lucious fellows to the tables
and one sweep Of the blade it laid
in half before you, and the guest
did the rest. The crowd
was orderly, brimming with good
will and hospitality, and altogether
another Watermelon Day has been
crowned with success. I
saw the tired mother there carry
ing a 27-pound baby and leading
two>so:hers of regulation sizes
larger, while the husband and
father was wearing himself out car
ing for corn cob pipe"
(This man had recently arrived
from the "effete east and had not
had time to acquire the western
thoughtfulness, consideration and
courtesy.)

School Notes.

All interested should remember the
school election Saturday at 2 o'clock, at
the old school house, to vote on special
tax for school purposes.
1t is good indication Of Rocky Ford's
prosperity that the school desks are all
occupied, and that there will soon be Il
demand for additional seats.
The excellence of the Rocky Ford
schools is attracting q number from the
country. For these outside pupils the
small charge of SO for the nine months
term will be made.

The Rocky Mountain News pays
a deserved tribute to the senators
who are making such an heroic
fight for the interests of the peo-
pie and bi-metalism. The situa-
ton is most graphically summed
up by the News in the following
terse paragraphs:
'The fight that has been made
in the senate will stand, when con-
cluded, as the most memorable
one in that body's annals. When
the forces arrayed against silver
are considered-the vast sums of
money at their command, and the
willingness of the gold kings to
use it, the power and malignity of
the goldbug press, the moral and
political force of Cleveland's ad-
ministration, all arrayed against
silver's defenders, and the fanat-
icism of eastern people created and
cultivated through their unreason-
ing faith in the teachings of sub
orned or ignorant newspapers, the
stand maintained by silver senat-
ors rises to the sublimity of inspir-
alton and will forever merit the
the gratitude of the people.
Let the people take heart. It is
not possible that kind and foster
ing Providence will ever permit
the diabolical schemes of the sin
gle standard conspirators to sue
ceed i'll the face of an aroused
people and the awakened con-
science of mankind"

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1893-09-28

In the general discussion of the
financial troubles which afiiict the
country, the chief cause of the
panic is largely overlooked. Sup
pose that silver had never been
demonitized; suppose that enough
currency to meet the views of the
most liberal financier had been
given the people-eyen this abun-
dance of circulating medium would
not have prevented the present
distress. The first great requisite
for business is sufficient money to
make the necessary exchanges.
This being secured, the next thing
necessary is to abolish the present
universal credit system. So long
as credit is given as freely as in
the past, SO long will financial
stringency and money panics bring
periodical devastation. It is debt
that hurts In hard times. In what
ever line of business, the man who
is out of debt does not fear hard
times; does not know of such a
thing except as he may have to
curtail his expenses to some ex-
tent. Credit and speculation are
the causes Of hard times, and pan
les will never cease until a large
pro ortion of the people of the ma
ton adopt the motto: PAY as you
CO." This sentiment will doubt
less be voted. decidedly old fogy,
but it is the only safe plan to in
sure continuous business pros
perity.

IT is not universally understood
that the question of woman suff-
rage will be voted on in Novem-
Der. The ballots will contain on
separate lines the words:
Equal suffrage approved"
equal suffrage not approved" /"
All who wish to vote in favor of
allowing women to assist in shap-
ing the government in which they
are SO greatly interested will put
an ''x" opposite the words equal
Suffrage Approved" The interest
in this important matter is con-
stantly increasing and there is a
fair prospect for the success of
common justice.

Made Bogus Pennies.

PHILADELPHIA, April S.-Two coun-
terfeiting dens, run by Russians, have
been unearthed in this city. At the
candy store Of Samuel GarinkeI. 1912
South street, the proprietor, his son
Nathan and two other lads, Jacob
Gross and Harry Sincare, were found in
the cellar manufacturing bogus pennies.
The place was well equipped and 1900
finished pennies, 1900 partly finished
and 1000 ready for a chemical process
to brighten them were also discovered.
Then John Levan was taken into Gus
tOdy and confessed that he was a men,
Der of the "gang" and had a shop at
1906 Lancaster street. The latter place
also had a complete cOunterfeiting out
fit, Including a die for 25-cent pieces.

CINCINNATI, April SIT developed
today that the amount of paper forged
by William ROnScheim, a Pearl street
clothier, will reach fully 1925, 900, and
indications are that it will go much
higher. The creditors will be called to-
gether next week by Assignee ShOder,
looking to a probable compromise of the
claims against the assigned firm. There
is but little chance of any precautions
growing out of the case. 1t is under
stood that the ROnscheimS and AubS,
who are wealthy, prefer to submit a
compromise position to the holders of
RonScheim'S paper, and it is probable
that a S3% per cent basis of settlement
may be effected. 1t also developed to-
day that one of the victims is Mrs. Bet
tie ROnscheim, widow of William Ron
scheim's uncle. She holds two notes of
5000 made by William ROnScheim and
bearing forged Endorsements. 1t is said
he forged her signature to bis appli-
cation for appointment as admins
traitor of her husbands estate and
collected the estate, amounting TO
S10,0 900, which he used and gave her
notes with forged Endorsements. This
leaves her penniless. and steps are TO-
being taken 10 insure to her $50 q month
as long as she lives. He forged a check
on a national bank at Ripley for Sl,400
on his uncle, and when the alleged
indOrSer was called upon he informed
the bank that he had never Endorsed any
such note. William Rohscheim eX-
planned that it was only a draft which
he had taken the liberty Of signing, as
lie needed the money.
There are undoubtedly thousands of
dollars of which he has victimiZed buSI-
ness men which will never come out.
The figure is already estimated at $780,
600, and 1t is rapidly approaching the
S2OO,O 900 figure. Detectives are guard
ing the Romscheim residence on Wal
nut hill, where Ronschiem and his wife
are Frustrated.

sUTTON's CONFESSION.
1t Was Made to Bankers Nearly
Two Weeks Ago.


LOUISVILLE, April S.-The examining
trials OF A. r. Sutton, the alleged ware
house receipt forger, and BOokkeeper
Becher, were held in the city court
this morning. Sutton was held oYer IN
the sun of $50, 900, and Becher in the
sum of $1,000. to answer before the
grand jury. Some new sensational facts
were developed in the examination of
witnesses. President Thad Spindle, of
the Germania Trust company, stated on
the stand that Sutton had con-
fessed the forgeries at the meet
ing held at the German National
bank nearly two weeks ago. According
to MIR. Spindle's testimony Sutton told
those assembled that he had forged the
first spurious receipt at the time of the
Barring failure in order to keep from 60
ing to the wall. The mysterious Will
lam Cohen has been located, and Mr..
Kohn declares he will appear in the cir
cult court.

of Domestic Strife.
BANGOR, Mich, April S.-A terrible
tragedy, the result of a long list of do
nestle infelicity, was enacted yester-
day. Andy Campbell. a well known
farmer, shot his divorced wife and then
himself, both dying instantly. A day
or TWO ago Mrs. Campbell hired a man
to work on her farm. Either because of
jealousy or for some other reason her
former husband made strong objections
to this arrangement, and yesterday he
called upon her. A hot discussion fol
lowed. CampbelPs temper became un-
cOntrollable, and, almost without warn
ing. ne whipped a revolver from his
pocket and shot the woman twice, once
in the forehead and once in the neck.
He then placed the still smoking re-
volver to his w forehead, fired and
fell dead.

manufacture; the simplest h%and-frames are used, and the labor
making them is necessarily slow. A rug of medium size and GOO
