HISTORY OF FRUIT DAY.

The celebration of Fruit Day in
Canon City is not an old custom. Four
years ago this month saw the first cele
bration of this kind in Fremont county.
The idea of snch an affair originated
with other towns In looking over the
RECORD files we find about the first
mention of a day of this kind for Canon
was in our issue of August 18th, 81
In a long article advising and agitating
such a celebration we note the follow
ing paragraph; .'The immediate in
ceptiou of the present effort Is perhaps
due 70 a visit OF Mr.. F. A. Reynolds to
Grand Junction The near approach
of the annual Peach Day Festival at
that place, the eagerness with which it
is anticipated and the united effort
which is enlisted to make it success
at once suggested to Mr.. Reynolds the
idea of similar celebration at Canon
and he hurried home to give his idea

and caused considerable comment. The
Brownies, led by Jimmie Peabody,
deserve favorable mention. There were
many other commendable features of
the pageant and numerous striking

1t is estimated that twelve or fifteen
hundred persons took part in the pa
rade, while not less than eight or ten
thousand were on the streets during
the evening. Haas q Co. rented over
five hundred costumes The members
of the Carnival committee and other
officials of the festival express them

The suit will come up at the next federal
court term, and in it Major Ewing will
ask for legal assistance in the recovery
Of an assessment Of 81 per cent On the
par value OF every share of stock in the

SOLDIER BOYS DANCE
Company A Bail Last Night Very Pleas
ant Affair.

The Company A ball at Peerless hall
last night was very peasant affair. The
boys had made great preparations for the
event, and Notwithstanding the inclem-
ency of the weather there was quite a
gathering of young people present.
The hall had been handsomely decorat-
ed for the occasion. The walls were feS-
TONED with many flags both large and
small. Over the case which contains the
arms was a large shield bearing the mi
tials *. n. g." and the crossed guns.
Directly beneath this was a handsome
silk flag, and all about this was draped
large flags.
From the chandelier there were long
festoons of red. white and blue, which
extended 70 the walls in every direction.
The chandelier itself was handsomely
decorated, and the hall as a whole was
very pretty indeed with its many flags
above and the flying feet beneath.
The lodge rooms of the A. o. L. W.
were a-so used on this occasion. The
room was filed with card tables which
were surrounded during the entire even
ing by 4 merry crowd of the lovers Of
the game.
\ very nicely gotten up supper was
furnished by Steffen, and this was by no
means the smallest part of the evenings
entertainment. Professor Bume's orches-
ira furnished the music in their usual
excellent style. The evening was a very
enjoyable one, and had not the weather
been very inclement the boys would have
been crowded; but nevertheless there
Were enough present to be comfortable,
and the affair was quite a success.

WAS QUITE GENERAL
Snow Spread Over Considerable Area of
Country.

The citizen of Kansas who went to
sleep last Wednesday evening with moth
ing troubling his conscience and nothing
the matter with his physical makeup,
slept soundly until morning. When he
awoke yesterday morning he found him
self looking out upon a thick coating of
snow, which covered everything.
The rain changed to snow about mid
night, and it came down in great clots.
1t was very damp and stuck together
wherever il touched. In this manner the
fakes became chunks almost as large as
eggs. and by 3 o'clock it was about six
inches deep.
The snow extended north, east, south
and west, but it ended a short distance
southeast. The trainmen on the Santa
Fe reported no snow at Winfield, while
those coming in on the Rock Island re-
ported an inch and half at Caldwell.
From the east the report was received
that the snow extended as far as Yates
Center and beyond. AT Kansas City there
was considerable snow. also. Trains
coming in without snow plows had the
cowcatchers and pilots banked up with
snow. The snow. ii seems. extended all
over the state except a space whose north
western corner was located northwest of
Winfield. The snow viii be of great
value to the wheat, as it will melt slowly
and the earth will take up every drop of

MORE QUIET THAN USUAL
Weather Makes Things Dull About Hotel
Hobbies

Yesterday was a duh Gay about the
hotels. At the Carey the only thing
which created a stir was an impromptfu
race between one of the drummers and
little fellow just into pants. Two jul
venile tr1cycles were found in the lower
hall, one of them quite a good size. the
other very small. The knight Of the
grip seized the opportunity. also the tri-
cycle, and climbing aboard started OUT
into the lobby. The little fellow seeing
TINS, came plunging down the stairway.
aud mounting the smaller machine. gave
chase. Round ana round they went.

close together, the drummer managing
TO keep just ahead all. the time. This
was considerably out of the ordinary
about the hotel. and created quite an
amount Of amusement. Had it kept up
much longer the betting would have be-
gun. A piano UP stairs was sending out
a lively air which added TO the Saiety
OF the scene. The drummer spun around
the hotel until tired, when the fun stop
ped as suddenly as il begun. The clerk
went into his paper, the others resumed
their letters, the telegraph operator ana
young lady at the cigar stand looked
their thanks for some one having the
temerity to break the monotony, and re-
turned TO their duties. There are some
people who have the gift of making
dull day bright. and they never lose
ANYTHING by improving the talent.
