phla Eeresford, wife Of a prosperous
9alrynian, has just died Of CHAMBERS.
Four weeks ago the woman's husband
nnWittlngly purchased q diseased horse
for thes$amily to drive. A few days
later while Mrs. Bereford was standing
near the horses head the animal
sneezed In her face. Soon afterwarSS
sne sna was Ssi,; stricken with chills and pains
e'1u arIu SSwelilng Sneag OF the forehead. She 6n.
moved to the hospital, and there the
true nature of the disease was discov-
ered-the whole upper portion
or the. Woman's face was eaten away
by the dread disease. The husband
and children have also been exposed
and their condition is i,eing closely
watched. 9he health authorities killed
the horse and will cause the arrest of

price which was rediculously low.

VIII n OF Rum,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-There is an
attempt being made to force Capt.
Shell into the field for governor, but he
is PERSISTENT IN his refusal to enter the
light. lie said to The Chronicles special
correspondent, today: 81 have said all
along that would not enter the guber-
material fight, and intend to adhere
to my decision. There is plenty Of good
material in the reform ranks, ,.and when
the fight opens there will be plenty OF
good candidates to choose from. One
thing is very certain, [ have no idea Of
making the race" Capt. Shell Is the
strongest man inthe House from South
Carolina and If he could be prevailed
upon to become a candidate 1t would
Settle the problem, so the majority of
the delega ton here think. Then. there
is McLaurin. lie is available timber,
and through lying pretty low now,
stands IN fair way to come out as a
candidate. He Is bratny, and a shreWd
politician. He Is one Of the best stump
speakers the State has and should he
enter the race, could control one of the
wings Of the reform faction. His quar-
rel with Senator Irby mas not injured
him, though 1t would throw the State
machine against him. Such Is the smell
or the battle as it comes here from the
Palmetto State, and the nose Of the de-
legation Is high on the scent, and the
trial will be followed close from this

few doors above the hotel at the time
McNabb did the shooting This caused
much excitement in the vicinity, and
the hotel people did not even hear the
shots fired. McNabb evidently meant
murder when he went to the room, for
he was only there short time before
he did the shooting.
Louise Kelloggs right name is Mrs.

wife of the president Of the California

to break OFF her relations with McNabD.

Starving,

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, Feb. 28.--The
starving people of Starr County have
received comparatively light assistance
in response to their appeal to the world
for help. Their condition cannot be
described. Many ranches have been
deserted, and a number of deaths from
starvation have occurred. Cattle and
other live stock have died by the thous.
ands. The county is literally burned
up, and water for domestic purposes
must be hauled long distances.

Our Public Library.

We last week stated that through the
generosity Of the Rocky Ford Town and
Improvement company, and the friendly
help Of Senator Swink, the public library
had acquired lot on which to build.
This fact ought to stimulate the town
council and the citizens generally to take
a renewed interest in thig valuable local
institution. Let plans be laid for the
the library may have home of its own
where it can grow and be of constantly
increasing benefit to the town and adjac-
ent country. A free reading room we'll
supplied with current publications should
be a prominent feature of the ibrary's
facilities. Mr.. T. W. Woodruff, of
Boston, who established and who is con-
stantly aiding the La Junta library, has
indicated willingness to be of service to
the Rocky Ford library. ALI these things
point toward Rocky Ford having a free
library and reading room Of which all
shall be proud.

That Special Grand Jury.

For some months past there has been
a feeling among the better class Of Otero
county citizens that the laws should have
more rigid enforcement. Some weeks
since upon the representation Of sundry
citizens, Judges Elwell and Voorhees,
agreed to summon special grand jury
to investigate certain charges of alleged
bribery, malfeasance IN Office, and other
official corruption. After the papers call
ing the special jury had been issued they
were recalled, Judge Elwell deciding
Judge Voorhees, dissenting. About this
time a committee visited the judge to
protest in the name of the taxpayers
against the expense of the special session.
On Monday last much larger committee
and one composed Of the largest tax-pay-
ers in the county, visited Pueblo to insist
on the necessity of the early summoning
Of the special grand jury. This COM
mittee was as follows: j. @. Vroman, Of
Catlin; County Commissioner O'Neil, ,Ex-
County Clerk j. E. Gaueer, of La J,inta,
Junta lumberman, S. w. English, editor
OF the La Junta Tribune, r. A. Potter OF
Junta, j. W. Potter, H. E. Ellingwood,
G. G.. Ament and G. NJ. Hall of Rocky
Ford, md DR.. Finney of La Junta.
Judge Elwell heard the committees
representations but refused to accede to
their request, pleading conflicting en-
gagements. The committee were not
convinced of the justice of the judges
position and used somewhat plain Ian
guage to intimate that the law-brealking
portions of the community were having
the judicial rulings in their favor. 1t
will be hopeless task to convince the
above committee, and many other citizens,
that the better element Of the county is
having fair show.

tinuance when his views before going to
the capital were in opposition. In view
OF the fact that the Legislature has done
nothing. and probably will perfect no leg

his course may be similar to that of the
boy whom the preacher caught fishing on

The producing classes have so long
borne more than their share of the bur-
dens of taxation that the prospect of
wealth having to shoulder an increased
proportion is especially gratifying. The
proposed. tax of two per cent on incomes
of over $4,000 per annum is a measure
which will meet popular approval. No
other taxation will be 80 easily paid, as
this small per centage taken from those
who enjoy incomes more than four times
greater than those Of the average Amer.

The special session is all at sea- The
house continues to pass bills while the
senate maintains strong opposition TO
any legislation. II the senate continues
its commendable antagonism, both the
house and the governor will probably
soon weary Of the contest. II the major
ity in the senate should weaken and be-
come entangled in general log-rolling
combination, such as characterizes the
house, the result will be an avalanche of
reckless appropriations, which will bring
discredit to the legislature and disgust to
the people. The best interests of the
state demand an Immediate adjourn
ment.
