Rheumatism runs riot in falling
weather. All who have rheumatic
acid in the blood are sure to feel
its baneful effect. 1t inflames the
joints, chills the blood, contracts
the'muscles and saps the strength.
A quick and certain cure for rheu-
matism or neuralgia is Lallemand's
Specific. II is equally a preven-
tive. If you have rheumatism in
your bones Lallemand's Specific
will relieve and cure. II you are
"subject to it," Lallemand's Spe-
cifc will ward off attack and render
the body impregnable. 1t warns
the blood, destroys the rheumatic
acid in the joints and affords ease

The call Of the Otero county
commissioners to the commissions
ers of Fremont, Pueblo, Bent and
Prowers counties was responded to
last Saturday by representatives
from each Of those counties. They
met in the district court room at 10
a. M, the temporary officers of the
Arkansas Valley Association of
Colorado, B. F. Rockafellow, of
Fremont, president, and w. B.
Ebbert, of Pueblo, secretary, be-
ing called upon to preside over the
deliberations.
The following gentlemen were
present: Commissioners w. L.
Rees, John Warner and George
E. King, of Pueblo; Henry White,
of Fremont; Matt Daimler, F. M.
Wieland and w. N. Randall, of
Otero; also Delegates B. F. Rock
afellow OF Fremont, w. B. Ebbert
Of Pueblo, L. NJ. Campbell OF Bent;
]. T. Lawless and Mr.. Hagerdorn
of Prowers; r. w. Patterson, G.
M. Hall, G. A. Kilgore, ]. E.
Gauger, H. G. Bourne and num-
Der of others from Otero.
Each of the counties reported
that they had been advised by
their respective county attorneys S
that the money asked for could not
be legally appropriated by the
commissioners, and it was decided
to go. on with the work and en-
deavor to raise the necessary funds
BY popular subscription. A COM
mittee consisting Of one represen-
tative from each county was ap-
pointed to decide upon the most
feasible apportionment among the
counties of the funds desired to be
raised. They reported as follow:
Pueblo, So, 500; Fremont, $4,000;
Otero, $4,000; Bent, 81, 500, and
Prowers, 81, 900.
The commissioners Of the five
counties have been asked to ap-
point two delegates at their meet
ing this month, these delegates TO
comprise the Arkansas Valley AS
sociation of Colorado. The asso.
citation will meet Immediately after
its members are apprised Of thei,
appointment and effect a perma-
nent organization. They will | ave
entire charge Of the work OF col
lecting the necessary funds, solicit
the exhibits and elect director
general to take charge Of the ex-
hibit at Omaha.
There was considerable enthus-
iasm manifested and not the least
fear entertained of the ability OF
the association 10 raise the neces-
sary funds, although they realized
that there was considerable hard
work to be done. 1t is to be hoped
that the exhibit at Omaha is now
an assured fact.

BLoNco IS RESIGNED.
Says Spain Was Forced to Acceie to Die
tstion Of Foreign Powers.


New York, August s.--Aecordlng to ad-
vices received from Havana by the Cuban
lunta, Captain Blanco appreciates the
fact that he must soon withdraw himself
and his forces from the island OF Cuba.
He assumed a mild demeanor, which COM
pares strangely with his previous bonn
bastic attitnde and frequently expressed
determination TO hold out In Havana 10
the death and he Is treating the insu-
rgents with great consideration.
In a recent proclamation he made
known to the Spanish people Of Cuba that
Spain through tho Intervention Of foreign
powers. had been forced to the disgrace
would be no more war and no, further use
for soldiers. He offered q, pardon TO all
Cuban political priscEers and more than
80 we're released In Havana.
In explaining spain's defeat in his pro-
ciamatlon. Captain-General Blanco In
forms his readers that Spain. having SUI
fered 10 much in the present war, could
not resist the interference OF the foreign
powers and 90 to war with all countries
at once. So she was compelled to accede
TO their dietati0n and sus for peaca.
Havana. he says. win be given over to
An.erieAns and cuoana and the Spanish
win evacuate.
Csptain-G General Rlapco assures the
soldiers and all Spanish residents who
wish to return to Spain. or go to other
Spanish possessions that they wEii be
given free transportation by their mother
country 10 their destination and win be
projected from interference from either
cubans or Americans. He suggests that
the cubans be forgiven and no longer re-
Earded as enemies and that no unkind
feelings be cherished.
