ROCKY FORD MELONS.
Eight Carloads of Cantaloupes Are to
Be Shipped Daily.

Denver, July 1O.-Otero county canta-
loupes are achieving fame and high prices
in the markets of the east. 1t is eSti-
mated that orders from Chicago, st.
Louis and Kansas City alone there will
be shipped out of Rocky Ford eight car
loads of cantaloupes daily for the coming
six weeks. The growers have had agents
out in the eastern cities and towns So
Letting orders for their product, and
these have met with unvarying success.
All they had to do to gain patronage was
to show samples of their cantaloupe.
Several drummers have been on the
road for the Otero County Melon Grow
ers' association, while private growers
were out in their own behalf. In the city
of ST. Louis association drummer a
few days ago made a contract to supply
one commission house with so carloads of
Otero county cantaloupes at so cents per
crate. Equally good and even better
prices b reported from other cities.
One of the men who drummed up the
cantaloupe trade his own account is
w. E. Alexander of Fowler, Otero county.
He has just returned from Chicago and
was a visitor yesterday at the offices of
the state board of agriculture.
81 have been in several of the eastern
states taking orders for cantaloupes," ;"
said he. There is a splendid demand for
the kind we raise in Otero county, as
they are considered superior to the canta-
loupes grown in other states. The Otero
County Melon Growers association has a
number OF representatives on the road.
They make contracts to supply canta-
loupes to the big commission houses, and
in making up shipments the members of
the association pool their crops. While
the season lasts Otero county can export
eight carloads of cantaloupes every day
on the contracts already made.

BUILDING MORE ENGINES.
Santa Fe Shops at Work on Big
Mountain Locomotives.

This year will see the completion of
an even dozen of ten wheel compound
engines at the Santa Fe shops in this
city. They will constitute the largest
consignment of locomotives ever built
by any of the railroad shops in the
west.
Two of the engines have already been
completed and turned out of the shops
and are now giving excellent service on
the New Mexico division of the road.
Two more are nearing completion and
will be turned out of the shops in the
next 20 days, and work has been COM
menced on the fifth and sixth of the
dozen. By January 1 all of the engines
will have been completed.
All of the big locomotives will be of
the same pattern. With the tender at
tached having capacity of six tons of
coal and 5000 gallons of water, each en-
gine will weigh 245,O00 pounds, or 1221a
tons.
The engine alone without the tender
weighs SO tons. The average cost of
each of the twelve engines has been
about $150,000 for the dozen.
These are the first engines to be built
at the Santa FHe shops in this city since
the construction of the nine Player en-
gines in 1891 and 1892. They are built
especially for hauling heavy trains over
mountain grades and are fitted with the
most improved equipment. The two en-
gineS now in service in the west COM
pare favorably with any of the COM
pound engines of eastern make.

a. T,Oafar

Richmond, July 10.-Nfrs. Loretto Small
Ford, daughter of Rev. Sam Small, in her
petition for divorce says that Ford made
love to her declaring that he of high
standing and that he had an income of
$4,000 per annum. She claims that she
found him to have no standing in the
community, and was dependent upon

jewelry and pawned it. Among the arti-
cles alleged to have been stolen is a dia-
mond ring worth $780, another worth $2S5
and horse and buggy worth $3.50
She claims that her father sent her
sums of money and her husband robbed
her of it; that her husband guilty of
unfaithfulnesS with various women;
that he was cruel and used violent and
coarse language and was guilty of neg
lect and nonsupport. Mrs. Ford charges
that her husband slapped her face,
knocking her down and kicked her upon
several occasions, until she needed the
care of nurse for some time afterward
In reply to charges made by Ford she
claims he hired a clerk and paid him S14
to spy on her movements.

AMONG RAILROAD men.
Big Sales Of Santa Fe Land for
Grazing Purposes.
More Sold First Half Of '97
Than All of 80.
Even Dozen Ten Wheel Compound
Engines to be Turned Out by the
Santa Fe Shops This Year.

Santa Fe Land sales in Kansas dur
ing the first six months of this year ex-
ceeded the sales made during the cor
responding time last year by thou
sands of dollars. In fact, the entire
land sales made last year exceeded by
only small amount the sales made
during the first six months of 1897.
Practically all of the land sold was in
the western and southern portions OF
the state.
1.-The sales made so far this year have
been heavy" said Land Commissioner
John e. Frost today, when compared
with the sales made during the past
several years. With few exceptions all
of the sales made this year were in the
farming districts and the land was pur-
chased for the purpose of grazing. Far
merS in the western and southern por-
tiOns of the state are turning their at
tention to grazing this year, and it can
be said that grazing is being carried on
more extensively in the south and west
this year than any year since that
country was devoted exclusively to cat
tle.'

HORSE DENTISTRY.
Its Importance-What Prof Bryant
is Doing.

Prof N s. Bryant, the veterinary
dentist specialist, is in Topeka and will
make his headquarters for a few days
at the National hotel Prof. Bryant is
probably the most noted animal den
tist in the country. He has visited To-
peka occasionally during the past ten
years. During that time ne has been in
various parts of the United States and
Europe in the practice of his profession.
He has operated on the mouths of the
noted horses of the world; among them
Joe Patchen, John r. Gentry, Riley Me-
dunn and all the cracker-jacks. While
at Holton recently he was called on by
Charles Salisbury of San Francisco and
treated all of his horses, a dozen of
them, among them Azote, Direct, Di-
rectly Prince, JaVelfn and She h. SAL
isbury, who is a famous turfman, pro-
nounced Bryant the best mechanic he
ever knew to operate F0n a horses mouth
Few people appreciate the Importance
of attention to the teeth of horse.
Their condition has much TO do with the
animals health and action. Bryant
will change a horses disposition when
caused by bad teeth; will make a bad
driver a good driver. John Seeley, who
trained Joe Patchen, says: In regard
to Prof. N. S. Bryant's work on horses
teeth he stands second to none. When
1 took the great Joe Patchen in 1898 he
was a bolter, a rank puller. L shipped
him to Holton, Kan, in August, 1898.
He would not go the right way of the
track. I could not rein him. Prof.
Bryant saw him; said he could fix him.
So told him to go to work on him, and
in three days I could rein him all right
and he stepped a half in 1:01A. Mr..
Bryant is the best in America"
Mr.. Bryant will consult with owners
of horses and confer with them freely
without charge.
/ Prof Bryant has testimonials from
the greatest horsemen of the United
States. By the way, Mr.. Bryant is well
known all over Kansas, and before go
ing into his present business was re-
corder of Lincoln county, defeating ex-
Congressman Baker for that place.

NO FEATHERS IN HATS.
MassachusettsLaw Which the Boston
olice Will Enforce.


Boston. July 1O.-There is CONSERVATION
milliners in Boston. The police today an
the wholesale arrest of women wearing
feathers in their hats.
There are more criminals walking the
streets of Boston dressed in stylish
clothes than there are in all the prisons
of Massachusetts,
That is the statement made by an emf
visions of an act which was passed by
the recent legislature in it's closing days
and approved by the governor upon June
IL.
According to this statute, it is Of
fense against the laws of the state to
wear for purposes of dress or ornament,
or to sell, or have in the possession the
bodies or feathers of any of the birds
which are commonly used by milliners in
the adornment of ladies' hats. The ex-
istence of the law is hardly yet known,
and it was passed by the legislature in
the rush of the final weeks business. The
penalty provided by the statute is a fine
of $40. Chairman Martin of the police
commissioners says he will enforce the
law.
Lawyer John B. Moran said: 'How the
law ever came to be passed is more than
1 can imagine, but despite the fact that
it is a monumental piece of absurdity, it
is nevertheless a law
If this law is enforced a number of
firms will be forced out of business and
a great many other millinery firms would
have to stop handling bird feathers alto

The next instant the snake had fall

HOPE FOR osAaE MINERS.
President Devlin Says Times Will be
Better for Them Within a Month.

Mr.. c. ]. Devlin, president of the Mt.
Carmel Coal company, says that the
condition of the miners in Usage county
will gradually grow better from this
time on up to the opening of the COM
mercial trade in the fall. The demand
for coal for the harvesting engines has
already started, and this he says will
increase the hours at the Usage City
and Scranton mines within the next ten
days or two weeks.
1T is unfortunate that the work at
the mines has to be reduced during the
summer MONTHS said Mr.. Devlin, but
when people won't burn coal, we can't
mine it. However, the worst part of the
summer as far as the miners are con-
cerned. is now over, and the conditions
at the mines will gradually become bet
ter from this time. The harvest trade
has already started, and expect to be
able to increase the time at the mines
in Usage county within the next ten
days or two weeks. By the time the
harvest business is over, the CONNER
cial trade will be commencing.
1T is also possible" said Mr.. Devlin,
that if the coal strike continues in
the east, there will be demand for
western coal, and in that event the
western mines will be greatly benefited
by the trouble in the east
