The immense increase in alfalfa cul-
ture has caused a large demand for the
seed. To get at tho facts concerning the
present supply and future prospects for
alfalfa seed as money crop, the Amer
ican Agriculturist has made extensive
inquiries throughout this country and
Europe. Details eliminated, the report
shows that alfalfa growing is highly
ally creeping into the central states, is
known to some extent in the south, and
in the middle and eastern states is pro-
duoed only in small way. The crop is
thus coming into general use over a
area, and the market for alfalfa seed is
constantly expanding.

-Cleveland's "line OF battle" on the
financial issue is rapidly forming and re-
cruits for the bimetaIlic side are coming
in rapidly. The silver movement has as
sumed such proportions as to greatly
alarm the administration and its gold
bug friends. 1t looks very much as
if the creditor class were to have an in.

The Rocky Ford Enterprise notes
the fact that the Santa Fe did the lar
gest months business at its station in
that town in April since it was opened,
and adds that of the total, one-third was
on incoming freight and two-thirds on
outgoing freight. This indicates that
the farmers about the watermelon center
export more than they import. sell more
than they buy, and as a consequence they
are prosperous, and getting rich as well.

secretary being on both tickets received

lower wages for teachers. The vote on
the other side indicates that our citizens

The grand opera house, Pueblo,
which was built at cost of S430,0OO was
sold at Trustees sale on Wednesday for

1t was bought by the mortgages, the
Prudential Insurance Co. The Thatcher
Bros, o. II. p. Baxter are the heavy
stockholders in tho opera house company
and the fact that they allowed tho prop

the fact that the hard times are not yet

The Enterprise was not represented
at the late Odd Fellows anniversary at
Lamar. Our account of the day was
clipped from the Lamar papers, and an
article comparing the surroundings Of
Rocky Ford with Lamar was founded on
the report of citizens who took a drive
in the country adjacent to Lamar. The
Lamar Register takes violent exceptions
to the statement that the surrounding
country is devoid of fruit trees and gar
dens. We certainly have no desire to
do the Lamar country injustice and by
way of reparation for the unfortunate
article OF last week we copy the follow
farm within ten miles OF Lamar that is
without an orchard, and some of them
are equal to any in the older settled sec
tions OF the state. Nearly every family
in the town has large garden, and every
street through which the author of the
slur marched with the procession was
lined with shade trees"

The Rocky Ford delegation to the
late grand army reunion at Denver re-
port very enjoyable time it being the
largest and best gathering of the veterans
ever held in the west. The addresses
were Of a character that stirred the blood
of the old soldiers, and altogether the
reunion was ono long to be remembered.
The time has now come when these
gatherings of the veterans will have fewer
and fewer attendants as time rolls on.
In connection with this thought we
make the following extract from tho
Denver News: The heavy hand of time
is pressing on the old soldiers. The
thinned ranks of tho Grand Army posts
which marched through the streets Of
Denver yesterday told their story. Few
of the veterans did not show the weight
of years, increased by hardships endured
while fighting under the flag. CT the
men in line yesterday there were not
many who were not more than 25 years
of age at the end OF the war. The elder
men have gone across the great divide.
The survivors are fast following them.
The pension roll will soon cease to
trouble the petty souls of economists,
who begrudge tho old soldier few dol
la. in return for the youth and health
he freely gave to his country. The
death roll is lengthening, and each year
there are vacancies IN the ranks The
veterans will not be with us long"

SIS A MONTH.

No fee larger than So month asked for

they had to pay. In answer, DR.. Walker
says yes.
The meaning of DR.. Walkers So rate is
this: No matter how many diseases YOU
have. SO is all YOU have to paw. II does
not mean So for each disease. 1t is an
honest offer To- the public in order to prove

is a small private Joss House, into which
the reporter made bold to enter. The
abode of the divine is on the top floor, and
all the inmates of the house were down in
the basement smoking opium, so there was
no trouble in reaching the gaily-decorated
room unobseTved by the faithful.
IN THE JOSS HOUSE.
A Joss House is an interesting place,
and the fact that only two floors separated
the profane intruder from score OF wall
eyed celestials in various stages of dope
dreams makes it more interesting than
otherwise.
On the walls of this particular abode OF
Joss there were several pictured repre-
sentatiops of very ugly divinities, a Chinese
lantern hanging before each. In front
of the portrait OF the principal Joss stood an
altar, and it is there that the reverent
Cinnamon burn incense and get tips on
their lotte ries. Several colOred lights
were burning on the altar and a pungent
odor filled the room. Joss sticks were
lying around In profusion, and couple Of
vases filled with sweet smelling slips OF
wood on which Chinese prayers were writ
ten, stood on each side.
When the devout celestial wants to pray
he doesn't have to go ard laboriously think
out prayer, and then crate it to the Joss,
like school boy on Friday. He goes to
the room where his Jossshlp keeps tap on
things in general, and selecting the prayer
he wants he waves il up and down a few
times and then burns 1t.
He doesn't kneel down. His costume is
not built that way, and his slippers wouldn't
stay with him. He simply stands up in a
business-ike way, makes his peace with
Joss, and then with clear conscience, he
goes out and gets into game of fan-tan,
dominoes, or some other oriental game,
whereby he may gather unto himself his
fellow -celestial's coin.
