Committed Suicide.

MIR. William jefferson took his own
life Sunday morning at the county
farm by cutting his throat with a
razor. His mind had been affected
about six months and in February he
was tried for insanity but the jury
brought in verdict of compus men-
tis. Last Thursday he had another
trial and they decided TO send him to
the state asylum, but owing to its
crowded condition he was taken to
the poor farm to wait until place
could be made for him at Pueblo,
Sunday morning DR.. burning left
Mr.. Jefferson at the breakfast table
and stepped out to attend to another
patient: when he returned he heard
a peculiar noise and looking up saw
Mr.. Jefferson near the coal shed with
his hands uplifted and throat cut
from ear to ear, SO effectually doing
the dreadful deed that he severed
both jugular veins and the windpipe.
and life was almos, Immediately ex-
tinguished.
The deceased was born in Durham
county, England, in 1850. Nineteen
years ago he came with his wife to
America and lived in Ohio six years,
from which place they moved to
Canon City and resided three years,
He then left Canon and was absent
seven years during which time he was
in the northern part of the state,
Wyoming and British Columbia.
While working in mine in Hanna,
Wyoming, he contracted bad case
of blood poison from the effects OF
which he never fully recovered.
After his return he resided in South
Canon. He was a member of the NJ.
L. church and the Redmen.
As a citizen he was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him. He
was buried from the family residence

A CRY pInrc DRY

Canon City has long needed a City
Directory. Hardly a stranger comes
to Canon who does not inquire for
such book. 1t is convenience that
nearly ali have thought Of and desired.
The RECORD has decided to compile
and publish a City Directory. 1t will
be book form, contain full list, with
occupation and addresses, of all adults
within the city limits, together with
a supplement containing short write
up of Canon, directory of the state,
county and city officers, statistics re-
garding Canon, information relating
TO lodges, churches and other organi-
zations, distances of principal cities
of Colorado from Canon, and much
other general information regarding
Canon City and Colorado. The book
will be a valuable one and will no
doubt find its way into every home in
Canon City. The expense connected
with such an enterprise is necessarily
great. To come out even on the
work we must have liberal patron
age in sales and in advertising. As
an advertising medium it viii have no
equal, outside of the newspapers. The
..,
book will be in every home and will
be consulted daily. Every stranger
who comes to Canon will find and con-
suit the City Directory. Ii will be a
valuable convenience to the stranger,
to the merchant, TO the professional
man, to the pastors and to each and
every resident. The advertising pages
in il viii be seen every day in every
home. No merchant, contractor or
professional man can afford to be
without a card in the new City Direc-
tory. The price of the book viii be

ton ,~~;ll .,;s nniled at SOC. II would

SUGAR BEET PRIZES.
More Money Secured and Prizes
Largely Increased.

Through the prompt action Of the
secretary OF the chamber of CON-
merce We have added $50 more TO the
$50 given by the county commits
sioners for the encouragement of the
sugar beet culture. This new amount
comes from the Denver chamber of
commerce and had been appropriated
to Chaifee county but that county
would not take hold of the matter
properly and the amount has been
transferred to Fremont. We now
have $500 to be given away to the
farmers who will plant one-eighth Of
sn acre to sugar beets- The seed will
be furnished free by sending your
name to the RECORD office.
The prizes will be awarded accord
ing to the percentage Of sugar in the
beet. the purity and the yield per
acre. The 800 will be given away
in the following prizes:
First prize, $50.
Two prizes, $50 each.
Four prizes, SO each.
Fourteen prizes, So.

his and the only condition is that he
accept the seed free and keep rec
ord of his planting on blanks provided
for that purpose.
The entire object of this contest is
to show the farmer what he can do
in the way of raising his own feed.
Every farmer who plants a small
patch of sugar beets and feeds it to
his stock will continue the practice.
A prosperous community is that which
is independent of others, and pros
porous farm is that which produces
all il uses. Our fruit growers should
raise their own stock feed and quit
paying tribute to the east and to the
railroads.
Speaking OF the sugar beets the re-
port from the Agricultural College
says:
Volumes might be written on the
value of the sugar beets for food.
They are a table delicacy that should
be grown in every garden. As food
for cattle, sheep and hogs, they may
be profitahy grown by every farmer.
One farmer pertinently says: There
is no better factory for the profitable
use of sugar beets than running them
through the live stock on the farm
and converting them into milk, meat
and manure An analysis shows the
dry material contains about the same

tein and about one-half the crude fat
