served some of the credit for hav-
ing secured for the town the water
works and electric plant.
When the article was written it
was not thought necessary to state
that the members of the Counci!
were merely representatives of the
people and that they were in reality
the agents of the community. 1t
was not deemed necessary to say
that if the people had refused to
support the Council and had voted
against the special tax there would
be no waterworks and electric
lights in Lafayette to-day, nor was
it believed necessary to mention
the name of every person who
voted for the tax. The members
of the Council acted for the people
and it would have been suPerfu Gus
to have said that if unsupported by
the will and confidence of the pop
ulation, the Council would have
been powerless to accomplish any
thing.
1t was during the administration
of the old Council that the question
Of waterworks and electric lights
was agitated, submitted to the peo-
pie and endorsed by unanim Gus
vote. The popular will, expressed
at the polls, was carried out sue
cessfully and in:elligently. The
members of the Council devoted
much time and labor to the work,
and now that we have unmistakable
evidence that they did their duty
well, we fail to see anything par
tisan or unfair in the statement that
they are entitled to 'some of the
credit" "nor are we able to see any
thing IN such a modest claim to shock
the senslbilities Of any one, even of
a paper so profoundly neutral and
non-partisan as our esteemed neigh
Dor across the way.
The Advertiser is kind enough to
tell us that our article was censured
by many, even by those it was in
not intended to benefit and could
not possibly benefit anybody, aud
as far we are concerned The
Advertiser and it's censors can con-
actually tagged out. If anyone be-
ieves that the article was written
to benefit him he has an aggravated
case of big n eadedness and he is
making a very large mistake in
thinking that he is such an impor-
tant parsonage.
When we threw that little bouquet
at the City Council we did not
believe that it contained any thorns
to prick the sympathetic heart of our
contemporary, and cause him to
deliver an exhortation so full Of
brotherly love and christian senti-
ment. Our friend is so exquisitely
sweet and betrays SO much anxiety
lest we allow ourself to be Influenced
by factional ranco1, that we are
tempted to ask him if he is regu-
larly licensed exhorter, with the
duty of bringing back to the fold
those weak brethren who may have
strayed from the true path. Be it
as it may We accept the words of
admonition so unselfishly Of
fered, not that we believe that we
will be able to heed them, as we
have not yet reached the mourners'
bench or the stool of repentance,
but we will accept them merely to
show our appreciation for such an
abundant supply of gratuitous adj
vice.
Approaching fully the sudden
conversion Of our friend from a
bitter partisan to meek peace
maker carrying in one hand the
olive branch and in the other the
white winged messenger of love and
harmony, we wish him godsDeed

\ strictly business meeting Of the
Ladies' Five O'clock Tea Club was
held at the residence of the Misses
Mudd on March II. This club
has been in existence one year and
has enjoyed unDounded pleasure
and prosperity, and we hope that
in this new year which has begun SO
auspic1ously, it will continue to in
crease in interest and mutual i'm
provement. The annual reports OF
the officers were very satisfactory
indeed, but especially SO was the
report OF the charity committee:
s22.oo in cash, III garments, 5
pairs Of shoes and 81 toys were
given to cheer the hearts Of some
less fortunate than ourselves.
The following officers we're
elected for the ensuing year: Presi

a SPLENDID DAILY.
r eeming with Most Reliable and
Fresh News AttractiveIy Assocl-
ated With Cartoons, for Which 1t
Is Famous.

The Rocky Mountain News, published at
Denver, Colorado, is the eldest paper In Color
ado and the Rocky Mountain Region. 1t has
been identified with the growth and progress of
that region since its inception in 1885, and de
votion to the resources and interests of this
portion of the West has always been the chief
aim of the paper. Special attention has always
been paid to its state mining department, to the
end that the fullest and freshest reports of oper
ations I'm all mining districts shall appear In its
columns daily. AT present it Is devoting unex-
ampled energies to the task OF furnishing its
patrons with the war news. The News is the
only paper in the west which has the benefit Of
the splendid special telegraph service of the
New York Journal and this insures the speedy
and eifectual transmission of every detail of the
operations at the seat of war. The News prints
more news daily, and possesses a larger circu-
lation and advertising patronage than any other
paper In the Rocky mountain region. The pub
fishers will mail sample copies upon applica-
ton.

A young man got off No. IL yesterday
morning and walking up to Depot Mas
ter Zickafoos made the following decla-
ration; "I'm looking for work; Pm no
bum or tramp; and when say want
work mean it. Can you put me on to
anything?' The depot master got him
a job in just fifteen minutes. A man
who is looking for work in these parts
just now doesn't have TO look long.
Men are wanted at Rocky Eord, Manza-
nola, Holly, Holbrook and all along the
line. OF course the farmers don't want
bookkeepers, or clerks, or Wallets, or
horsetrainers, or barkeepers just now.
They'll get along to that later But a
man who is without lob and wants to
work for a living shouldn't be too par
ticular about the method. ANY old
thing is better than nothine.-LA Junta

Prof J.. G. Carpenter, the irrigation
expert of the state agricultural college
at Fort Collins, expresses the opinion
that the Arkansas valley is hy far the
most important agricultural section of
Colorado owing to its great area, and
that it will within short time be the
most densely populated portion of the
state. The greatness of the valley
grows upon the observer. he says, and
il is his desire to devote more time than
heretofore to experimental work here.
During the ten years Prof Carpenter
has been with the state agricultural col
iege, he has made specially of irriga-
ton matters. and bis treatiges on the
duty of water and kindred irrigation
topics are accepted as authority by at
torneys and the public The Professor
recently placed an electrical measuring
device in the main supply lateral on
w. Frank Crowley's new fruit farm
near Holly. 1t will be left there rever-
al years, the object being to determine
the amount of water needed for irrigat-
ing new land and the saving in water
as the land becomes well soaked. Mr..
Crowley's place being new land offers
exceptional opportunities for the CON
duct of this experiment.-Pueblo Indi-

Our baby has been continually trou-
bled with collie and cholera infantum
since his birth. and all that we could do
for him did not seem to give more than
temporary relief, until we tried Cham

has not been troubled. We want to
give You this testimonial as an evidence
of our gratitude. not that you need it to

in Washington as an excellent one. Al
