Rocky Ford enterprise., 1898-12-22

-ROcky FORD mas the enVlaDle reputa-
tion of possessing about the finest shad-
ed streets and avenues in Colorado. This
is true OF the older portions OF town, but
80 rapid has been the growth that many
Of the newer sections are greatly in need
OF shade trees. An abundance OF shade
not only contributes to beauty and adds
to the comfort OF u town, but has cash
feature in the enhancement OF real estate
values. During the next three months
let every property holder make his plans
to plant trees very freely next spring.
The centennial anniversary of the
Louisiana Purchase is to be celebrated.
Gov. Stephens OF Missouri has officially
invited fourteen states to send represen-
tatives to conference to arrange for the
celebration. In this connection we no.
tice that Nat Wetzel, who goes to New
Orleans in January as delegate to the
National League OF Commission Me-
chants, will make an effort to have the
League endorse st. Louis as the proper
place to hold the fair commemorating the
Louisiana Purchase
The State land board has not yet
consented to the sale OF 5000 acres Of
school land in Prowers county to the
Great Plains Storage Co. and doubtless
will not do so. The Denver Post in dis
cussing the matter says: "The propo-
sition is neither fair nor Just one and
the State lBnd board, for the sake of its
own reputation, should definitely drop
negotiations until such time as the
company may see fit to submit propo-

COMMENT.
After proclamation Of the King
dom, and the call to repentance, there
is now heard a note Of warning and
of judgment.
From this time onward these warn
ings grow more and more terrible to the
close of His ministry. See Luke 1889
"a; 1915; 1918, and their strongest
and most terrible expression in Matt.
Chap. 23.-Abbott.
But at the same time mercy stands
close beside judgment. and the purpose
of judgment Is to persuade men to &C.

The work was going on almost imper-
ceptibly. There were heaHngs, and

INSTANTANEOUS RELIEF
FROM ASTHMA.
Has Been Offered rlany Sufferers
in OWOssO.

If there was doubt in the mind of any
sufferer from Asthma In this town as to the
truth of the claims made for DR.. Schiff-
mann's Asthma Cure, that doubt no longer
remains, providing he was among those who
called at Will E. Collins & Co.'S drug store
last week and obtained free sample pack
age. A great number who have already
tried the same declare in positive terms
that relief was immediate; that the wretched
spasms were checked; that free expectora-
ton was induced; that reclining position
was readily assumed and gratefully main
tanned; that the sleep which followed was
restful and unbroken, and that the morning
brought clear head and feeling of de-
lighted thankfulness which no words are too
strong to describe.
Abundant voluntary testimonials prove
that DR.. Schiffmann's Asthma Cure not only
gives instant relief in the worst cases, but
has positively cured thousands who were
considered incurable. The remedy Is now
sold by all druggists in packages at SOC. and
S1.00, thus bringing 1t within the reach of
all. Should any reader be unable to obtain
1t of his druggist, II will be sent, postpaid,

BOLD ROBBERY OF A BANK.
Thugs, Interrupted by the Cashier, BLOW
Out One of His Eyes.

Frankfort, Ind, Sept. 2S.-The boldest
and one ~ the most successful bank
robberies that ever occurred in this
section of the state was perpetrated at
Flora, small town ten miles north of
this city, at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The bank is a private corpora
ton, with William Lannum acting as
cashier. At the hour named he was
awakened by the noise of terrific ex-
plosion, which shattered the windows
in his residence fifty yards from the
bank. Getting UP and going to the
bank, which was in brick building he
found the entire building demolished.
AS he started inside he was fired upon
by some unknown party with a shot
gun, the charge taking effect in his
face and blowing out one eye.
The noise of the explosion aroused
the town and a great crowd collecGed.
1t was soon learned that the bank safe
had been blown to pieces with dyna-
mite, pieces of 1t having been blown
across the street. The robbers secured
between $4,000 and $4,000. The robbers
made their escape upon handcar. The
whole country is aroused and the rob-
bers will hardly escape. The cashier

that famous victory but complete and
careful analysis of the conduct of the whole
Santiago campaign. He points out with
perfect cearness the problems involved,
shows the lack of adequate preparation, and
says that the final success obtained was due
solely to the splendid and persistent valor of
the troops who fought under the most try
ing and discouraging conditions, combined
with the destruction of Cervera's fleet by
the navy. Mr.. Davis places the blame
where he believes it is due, and at the same
time gives all credit to the men who did the
real work. 1t is deliberate and conscien-
