Will be Here Again One
Week, June az to %.

The imperial organ of the hu-
man system is the eye. All
through the Bible God eulogizes;
S34 times does that book speak of
the eye. The eye is one of the
organs most liable to render life a
miserable failure, n loathsome bur
den. Loss of sight is the very
king of.terrors. While any i'm
pairment of vision is n source of
ghastly anxiety, of constant dread,
Of sickening mental worry, to say
never word Of acute physical an
guish.
The defective eye always makes
itself manifest in one way or an
other. Headache, blurring dizzi-
ness, inflammation, granulation.
winking, trembling, smarting, all
of which, and many other SYMPTOMS
should be taken as warning of
approaching untold misery. If
you have any disease of the eye
ear or nose, throat and catArrh, or
if you need glasses do not fail to
take this rare opportunity to call
on DIR. Kalem G. Sapero, the emf
nent physician and surgeon, who
is one of the most successful men
of the age in the treatment of his
specialties, the eye, ear, nose,
throat and catarrh. For years
past he has devoted his entire
time to the diseases Of these or
gans and his fame has spread
from coast to coast as r most able
practitioner, Nor do patients
need to be referred to strangers to
learn the truth of his ability, for
right in our own town and vicinity
hundreds have been benefited by
his treatment. He will again be
in Rocky Ford at the st. James
June 22d to 29th. Those who are
unfortunate and unable to pay
will receive the same attention
! without charge. If you have to
have treatment or if you require
glasses ground, call early. Diff
cult cases and school children's
eyes solicited. Consultation and
examination for glasses free.

to use. The disease of fifty years
standing is as little understood
now as ever.
Mr.. Jewett said that a long or
cold storm will prevent fertiliza-
ton. Question was asked as to
harm created by the English SPAR
row. John Gravestock stated
that in England there was war
waged against them perpetually
as they did immense damage.
Shooting, poisoning, trapping and
destruction of eggs were in vogue.
2. R. Broughton says that in Wis
consin they are driving all other
birds away. No suggestion for
relief was offered. From reports
it seemed likely that there would
not be twenty per cent of the
usual strawberry crop, owing to
cold May and hail storm across
the best plantations.

Close of Miss Winchester's
School.

The Auckland district school
closed May 25th and in the even
ing an interesting and profitable
entertainment was given by the
teacher and pupils. Long before
the time for the exercises to begin
the house was crowded to over
flowing, people being present from
Olney, Manzanola, Fowler, Ord
way and the surrounding country.
The vocal and instrumental music
rendered was excellent and the
pupils did good work throughout
the exercises of the evening, which
adds new laurels to Miss Jennie
Winchester's already high reputa-
ton as a successful teacher.

OlGDW "A Y.
Haying has been delayed a
week by heavy rains. We had no
hail in this section.
Our town is becoming quite
pugilisiic. We had two fights
this week within twenty-four
hours. A little more church and
little less rowdyism would be an
improvement all around.
Our population is increasing
and its a good kind-the preacher
has a new daughter.
The cutworms are taking q
good many of our cantaloupes.
The bees like this country so
we'll that they are coming from
the Ford or some other place to
make honey for us. We bid
them welcome and furnish them
house rent free.
Our ladies' aid is to give us a
social in the park on Thursday
evening, the 18th.
The late rains broke our canal
in several places.
Spring wheat looks we'll and is
just heading out,
There is such demand for the
Twin Lakes water that the shares
have gone up.
This part Of the valley was nev-
er as promising as now.
Last Sunday was Children's
Day in the Methodist church.
The congregation was large and
the children acquitted themselves

Rev. /. J. keator's Memorial
Day sermon is spoken of by the
Victor Record as eloquent, ap-
propriate and interesting. 1t was
especially appreciated by the vet

tention and praised the speaker
highly at its close. Rev. keator
paid a timely tribute to the grand
army of '9S that has gone to dc
battle for the liberty of Cuba and
the cause of right" Mr.. Keator's
many friends in Ordway will be
pleased to hear of his continued
success.

counties allowed evidences of their
folly to be preserved by the cam
era and the lightning rod men
carry fine photos of the school
buildings they have rodded.
These will be used to help catch
suckers in Otero county.
The lightning rod business is
of such a character that it takes
an unusually smooth talker to
work 1t. The present outfit are
fully equipped in that direction
and if plausible talk will get an
order they will make success of
their operations. You will be
told of the duty of protecting your
home and your loved ones-whieh
is pure commercial gush, for your
loved ones are practically in no
danger whatever from lightning.
The Arkansas valley has pros
pered without the aid of lightning
rods and will continue to do so.
There are few farmers that have
not better use for their dollars
than to purchase twisted rods at
a high price on the supposition
that they will protect their prop
erty from an imaginary danger.
If the advice of the Enterprise
shall be followed Otero county
will be saved several thousand
dollars of useless expenditure.

tionaI prejudice. but. in measure, class
pretudice, which had been so industriously
worked up during the past several years.
Why not let the good work so on? Why
I'm this concert OF harmony should there
be such discordant notes as those which
the WEIGH Register has uttered? There is
no ground for the assertion that one class
Is showing itself more patriotic than an
other during this contest.
Richard Harding Davis In this connec-
ton calls special attention TO these inter-
esting facts:
John Jacob Aston has offered TO equip a
regiment Of artillery at a cost OF $4,000.
and 60 grant free transportation over
his railroad lines to troops and their sup
plies.
Miss Helen Gould has contributed $780,
900 70 ft out a cavalry regiment for the
Cuban army.
Many young men from the leisure class
and undergraduates from Universities arc
volunteering to serve in the ranks. Yale
Harvard and Princeton Universities have
each furnished companies OF volunteers
Theodore Roosevelt, former Assistant
Secretary OF the Navy has received
commission as lieutenant colonel OF a vol
unteer cavalry regiment, and proposes to
20 to the war at the head Of "Rooseyelts
Rough Riders" made up OF cowboys OF
,,o west and members OF tho famous
Knickerbocker Club.
Among these are Reginald Ronalds. son
Of Mrs. Ronalds. who has for some time
made her residence in London: Woodbury.
Kane conspicuous in international yacht
racing: CRAIG Wadsworth and Louis Tiff
fanny. the polo player They don't 80 as
officers. but enlist on the same footing as
cowboys and policemen.
Then there IS William Aston Chanler'
African explorer. who equips his men ana
furnishes horses at his own expense and
will lead his forces in the Cuban invasion.
We say this not in disparagement Of the
poor. nor in special praise to the rich, but
simply 10y way Of emphasizing tho fact
that all classes of American citizens are
showing their patriotism in a most com
mendable manner. The least patriotic are
those who are attempting to fan the
flames Of class prejudice that are 50 surely
being extinguished

SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT.

There have been all sorts Of disagree
nents in Congress since tho war began as
10 this measure or that, but when it came
TO the question Of returning the thanks Of
the country to Acting Admiral Dewey for
his magnificent victory at Manila the vote
was not only unanimous, but enthusiast
tic.
In republican country like ours. there
must be differences Of opinion on political
questions. The republic would not last
very long if there were not such differ
ences. But the incident TO which we re-
fer shows that after all there is true
Americanism and that when it comes to
sure-enough patriotism, the people OF the
United states arc as one man.
Look at Spain-poor distressed country
that it is, Not only war without but
riotirg and revolution within. We have
our family quarrels I'm the United states,
but when there is a fsht with foreign
power, all hands stand by the government
and rally around the flag.
The war with Spain has at least dem
onstrated the fact that never before was
the American republic stronger, never be
fore were its subjects more loyal or more
firmly united.

Good in all Things.

"Oftentimes what appears 10 our short

business stagnant, banks broke and hun
dreds Of business men reduced from az

black enough. The Industry makes no
claim 10 a gift Of prophecy, but it thought
q certain good result would follow from
the silver decline. In September 1888 we
wrote that "the inevitable result or the
decline IN silver win De 20 turn attention

IN that direction. II is altogether probable
that all will be surprised TO learn what
wealth I'm gold the State possesses. us

has come true. Colorado Is to-day employ

ALL CLASSES PATRIOTIC.

In our comment last week on q recent
editorial from the Richmond (Va) Times.
under the caption 1.-THE War on The Rich"
our main reason in support Of an income
tax levy for war purposes was that such
a measure would only tend to even up
the all-round cost Of war" and our arti-
Gle was by no means loaded with preju-
dice and fired at the rich by "commun-
ism" cap, as The Times seems to think.
1t is true no draft has been made for men.
but this has no bearing on the fact that
the working class OF people will do the
fighting. and we claim that they should
not pay the war tax. Neither the rich
nor the government forced the people TO
volunteer TO fight for the countrys honor
but they responded TO the first call. which
shows an 81 couraging loyal feeling that
does credit 10 the working people. and es-
pec.ally that class which all must admit
IS being reduced in opportunities Of finan-
cai progress from year 10 year by the eff
fects Of a growing competition which
only modern machinery and large capital
can successfully withstand.-Welch (W.

OF itself, but instead Of acknowledging its
