"A young man appeared at the home
Of Mrs. Frank p. CONFESS at 308 West
Twelfth street and told her that her
husband, who is a plumber and owns
a mandolin. had sent him for the in
strument- Mrs CONFESS said he could
not have it without note and he went
away.
In a short time he returned with a
note signed with Mr.. CONFESS name
and she gave him the instrument.
1t now appears that Mr.. CONFESS did
not send for his mandolin and that the
note was a forgery.
The mandolin was worth about $40.

Arkansas Valley Sugar Beet Growers
Association.

Rocky Ford, Colo, Jan IA, 1896.
To the farmers and all friends Of the
Beet Sugar Industry in the Arkap-
sas Valley, greeting:
Believing that it is possible to secure
the location of one or more beet sugar
factories in the Arkansas Valley, it has
been decided to call a mass meeting at
Rocky Ford, Colo, Jan 25, 1896, for the
purpose Of taking organized action in
the matter of growing sugar beets; it
having. been demonstrated by five years
experiments at Rocky Ford and other
points that the soil and climate Of this
valley produce beets to greater perfec,
tion and larger tonnage than any other
locality on the continent, government an
nl lysis showing higher average per cent
OF saccharine and coetficient Of purity
than has ever been found in sugar beets
grown at any other point in the United
States.
1t is believed that a,.factory can be &c.
cured il we demonstrate that we not on.
ly can but will grow the beets in suffi-
cient amount to supply the factory. In
order to do this the grower must know
what it costs to produce the beets, the
average yield to be expected, and the
per cent they run in sugar content, To
this end it ie desired to interest every
gardener, farmer and land owner in cul-
tiyating, this coming season, trial patch
Of beets. Arrangements are being made
for securing the best strains of imported
seed at wholesale rates, and for giving
best methods for care and culture from
practical growers.

Hon. J. G. Funderburg, representa-
tive from Kowa county, last week made
visit to La Junta. The Watermelon
makes his presence in the city the occa-
sion for mentioning his name as a candi-
date for senator from the 23d district
composed of the counties OF Otero, Kio-
wa, Bent, Prowers and Baca. The En-
terprise is not in politics but would sug-
gest that the district is at present most
ably represented in the state senate and
there ls no demand for q change. Dur
ing the past four years Sentaor Swink
has represented his constituents with
marked fidelity; in all matters relating to
their interests he has been alert, vigilant
and effective. And while doing 30 he
has not forgotten the interests OF the
state at large. Senator Swink is not IN
orator, but he is a tremendous worker.
which combined with his good common
sense makes him much more valuable
legislator than man who attracts atten.
ton only by his speeches.

Tho La Junta city council has
passed resolution Offering the city park
as location for new court house which
La Junta desires the Commissioners to
build. The city park would be q very
desirable place for a court house il sti
geographical position made it available.
But the fact that it is about twelve
miles east OF the center OF the county un.
fits it for such a purpose. As the center
Of the county is destined unquestionably
to be the center of population, an injus.
tice would be done a large majority Of
our present and prospective population
by building a court house near the east
line OF tho county. Let the Commission
ers keep this fact in mind.

should determine TO avail itself OF the
option which the law gives it to re-
deem greenbacks and demand notes in

way. This will is to be filed for probate
some day next week, contingent upon
the return of Mr. Slonecker, who went
to St. Louis today.
Mr.. Kyle was a director of the First

stitution know as little about him as
other people. 1t is understood he left
property worth between $4,000 and
100000 This property includes the dry
goods stock and lot on Kansas avenue
below second street. 1t is only few
81 urray, died, leaving an estate worth
10000, and making no disposition of 1t.
After much search Mr. Murray's
mother was found in Ireland and the
money was sent to her.
Mr.. William Sims was administrator
of the Murray estate and it is under
stood he will be called on to perform the
same service in the Kyle estate
The funeral of Mr.. Kyle will take
place at o'clock tomorrow afternoon
from the residence of Mrs. Eliza beth

he roomed for several years. Mr.. Kyle
was about 40 years of age.
