The Post is Needed.

Though the Denver Evening
Post is not new to Denver journ-
alism it is not until recently that
it has sprung into prominence.
Under the new management the
paper is much more readable, its
advertising rates have been incre-
ased, and the excellent new loca-
ton on Sixteenth street has prov
en- a good move. There is room
in Denver for q newspaper like
The Post-for o paper that prints
the news first, last, and all the time
and we predict an immense circu-
lation in due time. The reading
public Of Denver have become
tired of newspapers that constant
ly suppress corruption whenever
it pleases their fancy, and in de-
Tending corporations and monopo-
lies without ceasing. It has be-
come tired of those papers who are
always fault-finding, vacillating,
and having axes to grind. The
Post is independent, non-partisan,
and its motto is, "First, the news"
The only apology the Press has
for enthusiastically supporting
The Post is that it deserves sue
cess and ought to succeed. Help
a good thing along.-Denver Press.
And all it costs is 10 cents n
week, 81 for 10 weeks. Send q
dollar to-day to The Post, Denver,
Colorado, and TRY I'll!

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1895-12-26

Every farmer in the county who has
ten apple trees should beco me member
Of the Otero County Horticultural So
ciety. The discussions at it's regular
meetings are profitable to all. The main
tenanoe Of an active society in the inter-
ests Of fruit growing is matter Of vital
importance to the welfare Of this portion
Of the Valley. The impression is uni
yersal that the Rocky Ford country is
one Of the choicest horticultural sections
Of the state. The cultivation Of fruit is
just now beginning in earnest and the
best results in it's production can only
be secured by the existence Of q wide
awake, aggressive SOCIETY. Both for
your own personal profit and as mat
ter Of public spirit you should be men,

Society.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

Many Well Authenticated Cases on Roc
ord in Medical Books.
The medical literature of this coun-
try. as well aa that of England. France
and Germany, relates many instances
Of the spontaneous combustion Of the
human body. In the majority of cases
the victim has been slave to the liquor
habit, formed by an over-indulgence,
either in the way of using 1t as bev-
erage or in the form of bath. In 1885
Sir William Gull, the great British sur
geon. testified before committee Of the
house Of lords on intemperance that
such thing as the spontaneous COM
bustion Of drunkard's body was nell
ther impossible nor improbable. In
support Of the theory he said:
In 1876 large. bloated man, whs
was suffering from difficulty Of breath
Ing. was brought to Guys hospital. Es
died that night and at the post-mortsm
the following day the body was noticed
to be much distended, as II with gas.
When punctures were made In
the skin the vapor of alcohol could be
plainly smelled. and lighted match
applied to the places where the gas was
escaping caused 1t to burn with blu
ish flame. AS many as a doz-
en- Of these little blue flames were
burning on his body at one time"
There are several cases on record
Of drunkards going to bed to "sleep of
a spree" only to wake to md themselves
enveloped In alcoholic flames, the result
Of spontaneous firing Of the gases In
their tissues. Such cases have always
ended in an agonixing death. The Brit
ish Annual Register of 1859 records the
death BY spontaneous combustion Of
the Countess Bandi Of Cessna. Italy. In
our country such casese have been rare.
indeed. the last occurring in San Fran
cisco in 1877, when drunkard who was
lighting a cigar at gas jet actually
lighted his breath and died in a few
moments In great agony.
