Consolidation Of Newspapers.

B. M. Palmer of the Ordway News
having received tempting offer to start
a free silver paper at his old home, Jew.
ell City, Kans., has concluded to make a
change. During the six months he has
been at Ordway he has published an ex-
cellent paper and built up a large circu-
lation. His subscription list has been
purchased by the Enterprise which gives
a big increase to our circulation which
will be appreciated by our advertisers.
Before this consolidation the Enterprise
had double the circulation of any other
paper reaching the Rocky Ford country
and this large addition to the list gives
us more than three times the circulation
Of any paper circulating in the region
tributary to Rocky Ford. The increased
publicity given to advertisers announce
ments would justify an increase of adver-
tising rates, but none will be made just
row. Advertisers will, however, piease
remember that in facilities for reaching
the buyers and consumers Of the Rocky
Ford country that tho Enterprise has no

The Republican County Central
Committee held a meeting at Rocky Ford
yesterday. In the absence of the chair
man Sec. Beall called the meeting to
order. On proceeding to call the roll,
Tom Hoffmire, not a member of the COM
mittee, desired that DR.. Williams of
Manzanola should represent Mr.. War
ner, but DR.. W. held no proxy nor had
the Republicans OF his precinct selected
him for the place. A. g. Draper of La
Junta had resigned months ago and his
place had been filled by the appointment
Of Judge Alvord. But Hoffmire wanted
to represent Mr.. Draper by an alleged
proxy, which Mr.. Beall could not allow,
Judge Alvord beng present. On these
two points division arose and the COM
mittee divided. The silver men had a
majority (omltting the questionable prox-
ies) and proceeded to fill vacancies and
issue call for convention, which will
be found in another column. At one
time there was good prospect for row
Tom Hoffmire attempting to assault
Judge Alvord. Trickery and bulldozing
characterized the attempt of the Hoff-
miro crowd to make things go their way,
but the regular organization prevailed.
The Hoffmireites went through the mo-
tions of organizing pretended central
committee but its action can have no
standing in the State Convention.

If man melts down gold dollar,
he can sell the metal for 100 cents; but
if he melts down n silver dollar, he can
sell the metal for only about So cents.
And yet the free coiners insist that the
country should be flooded with the SO
cent dollars to pay 1O0-cent debts and
wages.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Correct, but why? Because the
silver is deprived of equal rights with
gold at the mints. Give silver the priv
ileges of coinage that gold enjoys and the
melting process will not reduce the value
Of silver dollar.

How many farmers are doing their
duty by themselves and their neighbors
in the direction of destroying Russian
thistles? The injury which this pest will
do to carefully cultivated fields has been
overestimated, but to the general farmer
it is a very serious obstruction to his
work. The crop this year is far greater
than last and will be immeasurably larg-
er next season. Few farmers have more
important business than seeing to it that
the Russian thistle is destroyed before it

Rocky Ford cantaloupes are eaten
from ocean to ocean. This is no figure
of speech, but an actual faet. Last week
Senator Swink shipped cantaloupes both
to New York on the Atlantic and to Los
Angeles on the Pacific. Both shipments
arrived in good shape and were greatly
enjoyed. The man who says that we do
not have the United States for market
for cantaloupes don't know what he is
talking about. By the use of refrigera-
tor cars Rocky Ford oantaloupes can be
laid down in good condition in every
great city in the Union. BY proper or
ganization and the use of the utmost
care in the selection and shipping the
Arkansas valley cannot overstock the
market with cantaloupes. As soon as

REIGN OF TERROR.
Caused by Three Reckless Desper
* adoes at CE,icapO

CHICAGO, July 11.-Three men In a buggy
drawn Sby a gray horse, created a reign of
terror on the North Side of the city last night
They drove RAPIDLY through the streets empty
ing their REVIEWERS In the air and now and
then made things lively by firing at people
whom they passed. During the ride they shot
three men, one of them fatally. The men are:
Sergeant Wnl. Sauer, of the East Chicago
police station, shot twice in the breast and
once in the neck will die. Andrew Martin
shot In right heel, not serious. John Keefe
shot in left instep not serious.
walking on Wesson street together, and when
they heard men shouting they stopped and
saw horse and buggy coming down the
street. 1t was a light top buggy and the horse
had been whipped into run.
and the report OF revolver would be heard.
When the men were opposite Martin and
Keefe they began shooting at them. one bull
let tearing away part of Martins right
heel and another lodging in Keefe's left In
step. Both fell TO the sidewalk but the
men in the buggy did not stop. They fired
four more shots, none of which took effect.
and continued their mad drive south on Wes-
son street The police started after the
men, but not could find them until after mid
night. when Sergeant Sauer saw three men
in buggy drawn by a gray horse enter an
alley. He followed them, and as soon as
he appeared ar the entrance TO the alley the
men fired at him. All three bullets struck
Sauer, and he cannot possibly live The men
made their escape. and there is no clue to
their identity.
