The La Junta Times went into the
prophetic business last week and made
the following predictions as to the depu-
ties Of the pew county officers who take
their places early in January: Charley
Steward, Of Rocky Ford. to be under
sheriff; @. NJ. Robins, Of Rocky Ford, to
be deputy county clerk; ]. N. Gibbs to
be deputy asseeaor.

OF horticulture WAS before the county
commissioners OF Pueblo county last
week, endeavoring to have IN inspector
appointed to be more fully able to COM
bat the insects and diseases OF fruit trees
that Pueblo county might not scatter its
fruit pests to its neighbors, Otero and
Fremont counties, which are so success
fully destroying these enemies. He called
the attention of the commissioners to the
law and found that they were willing to
do their duty il the horticulturists were
willing to make a strong effort them
selves.
Rural mail delivery will be the next
improvement. Experimental delivery at
Loveland and other points have been
quite successful. At Loveland two car
riers were employed, each covering about
thirty miles a day six times week, or
more than $1,000 miles year. About
$3.50 pieces of mail matter is handled
each month by the carriers, who serve
about 400 people. The experiment is
said to be a gratifying success, and il
similar reports come from other parts of
the country it may fairly be expected
that rural mail delivery will shortly be
enjoyed by many other communities.
"A coal famine prevailed for day or
SO last week, and at one time it looked as
il the tactics OF five years ago would
have to be used. On that occasion our
citizens were without coal but train loads
were passing through to other points.
To prevent distress about fifty citizens
gathered mt the depot and when coal
train stopped every coupling pin was
withdrawn. The train was not allowed
to leave until coal enough was set on the
side track to relieve the urgent wants of
the Rocky Fordites. The famine OF '97
did not require such measures and was
by two cars OF coal on Saturday.

The Pueblo Chieftain says: rs. H.
Taylor is exactly right in arguing that
the Arkansas Valley ought to be repre-

as the Arkansas Valley, definite and

gnntaRes Of its own"

Professors Carpenter and Trumbull
OF the State Agricultural College, assisted
by Robert Hswley, have Just completed

much less than heretofore estimated.

Mining sharks and other speculators
are now filing the mails with Klondike
boom matter. Many mining companies
are being organised for the benefit OF the
promoters and for the plucking Of the
nnwary. In the language Of the Rocky
Mountain Christian Advocate: "The
mining cat purreth very softly but it's
claws are sharp and the man who toyeth
therewith is not wise"

The following good advice we clip
from the salida Mail: "Now is the time
to push. II you can't push please let 20
and give somebody else chance. II
you can't help please don't hinder" The
Rocky Ford people do not need this ad-
vice as much as those in several other
portions OF the state, nevertheless we
commend the sentiment to their thought
ful consideration,

The prospects, for electric lighting in
Rocky Ford arc not as good as two
months ago. Then two companies were
contesting for precedence in getting q
franchise through the town council. AZ
ter franchise had been granted Messrs.
Hale, Goblin & Fenton, Mr.. Hale with
drew and the other members OF the COM
pany we're unable to find man or com.
pai,y Of means to take his place. The
council next granted franchise to D.
r. Green OF Pueblo and B. q. Dye OF
Rocky Ford. A canvass was made for
prospective customers but the business
was not satisfactory to Mr.. Green and
the franchise has been abandoned. We
regret that such promising outlook for
electric lighting should vanish 80 quick
ly. We suspect that the promoters OF
the two schemes did not want to take the
usual business chances in the venture
but wanted "a sure thing" from the start.
Once in operation the business would
soon have grown to paying proportions.

e. N. Berry, orchard inspector, says
that now is the time to clean out the or.
charde, cnt out all the signs of the
blight and burn it, even il it is necessary
to dig mp and burn the whole tree or or
chard affected. Mr.. Berry is authorized
by law to enforce the destruction OF
blight. No difficulty should be en-.
countered in freeing Otero county or.
chards of this pest as it is directly the in.
terest of frnit growers to follow Mr.,
Berry's instructions to the letter. Mr..
Berry will next week inspect the orchards
near Rocky Ford and we have no doubt
will have the cooperation OF onr fruit
growers in his very important work.
The Santa Fe's business at Rocky
Ford for 1896 was excellent-a marked
advance on any previous year. Bat the
incresee for 1897 is most gratifying. Dur
ing the first ten months Of this year the
Santa Fe's receipts ut Rocky Ford were
$4,000 in advance OF the business for the
corresponding period OF 1896. This is a
fair indication of the development of this
portion OF the Wiley.

CUT WITH "A RAZOR.
Three Colored Damsels Fight over a
Coveted Man.

Coveted Man.
The prize drill and dance of the Ex-
celsior Guards in convention hall last
night went off quietly with the excep-
ton of little razzer play by one of
the female attendants.
Stella Hill, Celia Coleman and Lille
Hill were three damsels who attended
and during the course Of the evening
Stella and Celia became jealous of the
attention of one of the gay young mil
itiamen, to Lille and lost no time in
informing her of their jealousy, warn
ing her to cease receiving his courte-
sizes.
Lille, however, who liked the young
man in blue, did not cease and that is
what created the disturbance and gave
Police officer Shelburn a chance to
make two arrests.
About u o'clock the hatred of the
two jealous damsels had been aroused
to such a pitch that they decided to
make a vicious onslaught upon the
favored Lille. They did as they had
resolved and when the fracas had end
ed Lille had a cash in the left side of
her neck, a razor was lying on the
floor and Celia and Stella were victor
ious, in the fight If not in the contest
of love.
Officer ]. NJ. Shelburn arrested Celia
and Stella and placed them in the city
Jail and had Lille sent to her home,
where she is today.
She is not seriously injured, but was
unable to be in court this morning to
prosecute her assaulters and Record
er Lewis continued the cases.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachiau Tube. When this tube getslintiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but an inhamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cam
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Some one has said that when
the enterprising burglar isn't
burgling, he is just as good as
any other man. 1t may be so
and it may not but at any
rate it is mighty cold comfort
for the man who has been
touched for his gold watch
and his winnings on the bicycle
races. The festive burglar has
been very busy of late. He
finds a good field in Honolulu,
where the latch string is al
ways ont. But his occupation
will soon be gone. Residents
are becoming more careful !;
they are investing in safes for
their homes. Judging from
our sales during the past week,
we have reason to believe that
we are doing most of the sup
plying. We handle Victor
safes. We selected this line
because we know that no better
safes are made. This guaran-
tee goes with each safe-they
are both fire and burglar proof.
Most people imagine that a
safe costs a barrel of money ;
they don't. We have a small
safe made by the Victor peo-
pie; it is called the Queen. 1t
is just the thing for putting
away coin, jewelry and valua-
BILE papers. We sell it for
$500. We carry six sizes
from the small Queen to the
standard size. Orders for
larger sizes are filled at short
notice. We have supplied two
well known business houses
during the past week with
large Victor safes; the buyers
took Victors in preference to
any other make. They were
wise.
