Alice Miller, the young VINO
eloped from Waverly, Neb., with ~. =.
Al. McCandless, is now in this city, y
saws she intends to remain here. II IS
believed here that Miss Miller was m
8duced to abandon DR.. McCandless ny
a Chicago travelling man, whose naIae
is unknown. The travelling salesman
met them on the train coming from
Omaha to this city and advised theg lrl
to leave McCandless. She had no OPP
%portunity to abandon him then, but uld
SO as soon as they reached kansas City,
after telegraphing to the traVelilns
salesman to meet her in this city. u IS
expected that she will now elope Win
the salesman.
Miss Miller declares that DIR. NC
Candies is a hypnotist, and that he ex-
ercised his power over her to make her
run away with him. She also accuses

WILL ISSUE.
Mineral Lands In California Few and
a.a4a Far. BetWeen.

WAsH1NeroS, D;sss G., Nov. 6.-The
secretary Of the interior, in denying a
protest made by citizens of California
against the patenting Of lands In south
ern California to the Southern Pacific
Railroad company because the lands
are mineral, says thatsevery effort has
been made to ascertain the character
OF the lands previous to the time when
patents Were about to issue. He also
says that the country In which the lands
are located is we'll explored, and it is
presumed that if the mineral existed it
would have been discovered previous
to the present time. AS to the mineral
lands in Idaho and Montana, to which
the protestant refers, he says that 1t
is to be presumed that if congress had
h right to have the same precautions
in California hat state would have been
included in the law providing for min
eral commissioners. He says that pos
sibly in patenting the lands to the
Southern Pacific some tracts may be
included which are mineral, but they
will be so rare as to be Of little import
ance.

Journal: "a woman never learns to
sign her name properly, no matter
how much money she may have, nor
how much banking business she does.
Every business man has what he calls

They all write the fashionable hand Of

women put their crests ON
their checks just as they do on their
carriages; we like that, because one
can identify the check then without
botherfng about the signature. Mrs.
Gould has not q plain handwriting; it
is straggly and has lots OF loops, be-
sides she Is fond OF signing herself
simply Mrs. Could which is better
from 9 society than from 3 business
standpoint. Three women who write
alike in the ultra-English fashion are
Mrs. Rainsford, wife of the rector Of
St. Georges; Elizabeth Marbury and
the Marquise Lama. Maude Howe
Elliott is another society woman who
writes her name all sorts OF ways.
Sometimes it is M. II. Elliott, another
time Mrs. Maude Elliott, and yet again
she will sign her husbands name
with the Mrs. prefix. Miss Anthony
writes in q tremulous hand that serves
excellently to identify her checks, and
Marie Nevins Bull writes in q peculiar
hand as If her pen were falling to
sleep. Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,
Is probably the only society woman
with an individual signature; she calls
herself M. G. Rensselaer, in magazines
and also on checks. Fashionable sig
natures change every seven years, and
lam sure that if the big, open English
should alter to the tall, thin, angular
han or the freaky, running hand, at
least q dozen cashiers would resign in

A Visit to a Fine Farm and 5000
Sheep.


Last Tuesday we drove out to Mrs.
Mary p. Prater's fine 1G0 aero ranch one
mile west OF Rocky Ford. The farm has
buildings and barns far above the average
in size and quality and comprises an ad-
mirable body of land on general prin-
ciples. 1t is entirely free from alkali or
seepage, every acre being tillable and the
very best OF soil. The supply Of canal
water is ample. A small young orchard
is among Its attractions. The farm
view OF Rocky Ford and that most beau
tiful portion OF the valley which sur
rounds it.
Just now the principal industry OF the
farm is sheep feeding. Doyle L Co., OF
Pueblo have on the ranch 5000 sheep
which they ure fattening for tho eastern
markets. Large pens, eleven in number
have been built, surrounded by hay
racks and supplied with water from two
wells and one reservoir. Horse power
does tho pumping for most Of the sheep.
During much OF the day the sheep are
confined in tho pens where alfalfa il ac-
cessible, but twice each day they are
turned into pens in the center OF tho
feeding lot where in troughs made for
the purpose they are fed on whent, corn
chop, cotton seed and cotton seed-meal.
Thus far this winter Doyle h Co, have
received from Texas 10 car loads OF cot
ton seed and meal. 1t requires the work
of seven men to care for the sheep. The
sheep are French merino and were orig
inally from California. They are unusu-
ally large and fine and within two months
from this date will make splendid NUT
ton for eastern epicures.

Dairy countries are uniformly pros
porous. II the Rocky Ford region can
become as noted for butter as it is for
watermelons, canteiopes, tomatoes, alfalfa
honey and hogs, it will offer greater at
fractions to immigrants than any portion
OF the west. The creamery annex COM
mittee have not yet got together for the
purpose Of carrying out the work given
them. Many OF our citizens would prefer
a full grown creamery. There are two
important items which enter into such a
project. 1. The requisite money. 2.
Sufficient cows to furnish enough cream
to keep the plant busy. Are the farmers
Of the Rocky Ford country sufficiently
interested in the matter to make an en-
couraging movement? Well give them
an opportunity. To each farmer reader

II there should be an enthusiastic and

some encouragement for efforts to estab-

feel the need Of such a valuable aid to
their businesss? If so, now is a good
time to make that interest know.

CANALS ANH RESERVOIRS.
The Senatorial Committee Reports
Adverse on the Canals, but Fayora-
kle OF the Twin Lakes Reservoir.

The Tenth General Assembly took its
first til. ut the State Canal scheme last
week. The senatorial hold over commit
tee consisting of Senators Boyd, Swink
and johnson, made its report It is
quito lengthy and it was impossible to
fairly consider it without it being printed.
The Pueblo senators opposed the resolu-
ton calling for the printing OF the report
but winch was nevertheless passed.
The committee have given a vast
amount of time and work to investigat-
ing the need of state canals Nos. and 2
The report on both these projects is ad-
verse, the schemes both beng deemed
impracticable. The estimated cost is
placed at 81 900 for state canal No. l,
and no estimate is given for state canal
No. . The report on the Twin Lakes
reservoir is favorable, and it recommends
that it be built. The subject of irriga-
ton is dealt with thoroughly, and the
document is a most comprehensive one.
1t is signed by Senators Swink and
Boyd.
There is also minority report submit
ted by Senator Johnson, the other menu
ber of the committee. He favors the
construction of state canal No. l. The
report on state canal No. l is not favored
by Senator Drake of Pueblo and he in
troduced resolution for the creation of
a new committee to which all matters
pertaining to canals and reservoirs
should be referred. He based the de-
mand for this committee on the charge
that the standing committee was unfair.
Senator Fulton thought the object Of
the resolution was to separate agricul-
ture and irrigation.
Senator Swink said it had been his ex-
perience that farming and irrigation
should go together, and he thought one
committee was sufficient to deal with all
these questions. He further asked to
know in what respect the committee was
unfair, since they had not yet acted upon
single bill. He said if anyone was un-
fair it was himself and lie asked anyone
to show where, on any question, he had
voted against the interests of the state
or his constituents.
Finding there was very strong opposi-
tion to his special committee on canals
and reservoirs Senator Drake withdrew
his resolution.

there he made liberal purchases
