In announcing to the people OF
La Junta and vicinity the sale Of
our La Junta store to NJ. S. Ra-
field, Of Colorado Springs, we can
not bid adieu to our many friends.
patrons and the public in general,
without expressing the sincere re-
gret that we feel in ceasing to do
business in your midst. Our busi-
ness has been more than satisfac-
tory and more clever people it
has never been our good fortune
to meet. Our only reason for the
change is that our Pueblo house is
growing SO rapidly that it requires
our individual attention.
We desire to extend to everyone
in Otero county our most earnest
and sincere thanks for the kindly
spirit in which they have received
and treated US; the recollection of
our business experience with the
big hearted people OF this COM
munity will always be pleasant
one. Again we thank you and
wish you one and all godspeed in
your several undertakings and am
bitions.
Our latch string at Pueblo will
always be out to our friends in this
community. II we can do you
any service, any favor OF any kind,
command us, it will be pleasure.
we assure you. Sincerely,
BERGERMAN Bros.

The editor of the Pueblo Reform
Press says "gold would not be
worth the cost of mining il it were
not for the fictitious valuation put
upon it by government coinage. I"
We suppose the untutored savage
in foreign climes boards his gold
because OF the "fictitious valua-
tion put upon it" by the United
States government This reform
editor is a booster OF the silver
cause, and is evidently disgruntled
because the Fictitious valuation"
function of our government has not
been extended SO as to include the
white metal. Consistency-thy
name is mud in this instance.

We would like to see some of
the results that have been accom-
plished by fusion in the interest Of
silver. The principal result SO far
has been to give the control OF To-

A new machine for making bread

"A new machine Tor making bread
from raw wheat will soon be put
in operation in the large cities,
which will be most revolutionary
in its effects on several industries.
The wheat is poured into the ma
chine, soaked in water, converted
into pulp, and after the refuse is
removed, it is formed into loaves
and conveyed by rollers into an
oven and baked. A few ordinary
workmen operating the machine
will bake bread enough for large

Queer Pension Claims.

Among the many claimants before
the pension board are a number of old
moss backs who ssbecame sick and
went home where they remained until
the end of the war" but the queerest
of al is the fellow who demanded a
pension on the ground that he had
furnished a substitute to do his fight
ing. Three other applicants con-
tracted corns on their feet from which
they have been sufferers ever since
and the boys are wondering where they
got their shoes. These gentlemen GER
tainly contradict history which claims
that confederate soldiers we're in rags
and barefooted half the time. Men
who contracted corns during the war
must have remained to close to their
shoemaker's shop to be entitled to a
pension as veteran soldiers.
One applicant says he is the father
of twenty-five children, and we incline
to the belief that he should be pen
stoned for the good he has done his
country, without considering his mill
tary service.
One veteran, "A years Of age, says
he is feeble and without property and
needs a pension to assist in maintain
ing his nineteen year-old wife.-B. r.

Board Of Pension Commissioners.

After a laborious session OF nine
DAYS the Board of Pension Commits
sioners adjourned December 22nd.
We have no hesitation in saying that
no board or body yer met in the
capitol Of this State that labored 9
earnestly or conscientiously than this
Board Of Pension Commissioners.
There were 1881 applications, Of
which number 240 were rejected, 263
passed subject to further inyestiga-
ton. 129 TO be written to and 699
we're allowed and placed upon the
pension rolls as follows: 153 of the
first class at Sc per month 213 OF the
second at SIS per month; 333 OF the
third class at 81 per month.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That under Section 6 OF
Act No. 125 Of 1898, the Board o.
Pension Commissioners hereby fix the
fees Of attorney and agent prosecu-
ting applications for pensions at one
dollar for each application, and that
the penalty prescribed BY Section Z o.
said act shall be enforced for the
charge Of more than the legal fees
fixed by this resolution.
Resolved, That q copy of the above
resolution be sent to each pensionei
with his check.
Resolved, That upon receipt OF in,
formation by the president that the
name Of a pensioner is improperly or
the rolls he shall instruct the secretary
to notify such pensioner that he vii
be accorded a hearing on the first day
of the next quarterly meeting of tht
board to show cause why he should
not be dropped from the roll.

General Emilio Nunez.

A Havana dispatch to the New
York Sun says: "The suburban
town of Guanabacoa was evacuated
by the Spanish troops to-day. The
Cubans took possession Of the place
and raised the American flag on the

taken provisional command of the
town and has issued a proclamation
requesting the inhabitants to act in an
orderly manner until the Americans
come. A Cuban flag waves on almost
every house in the place Where
our friend Nunez is in command the
right thing will be done in the right
way. General Butler tells rs that

councils will decide wisely. Emilio
Nunez is only AZ years old. He was
Of a wealthy family in Sagua and went
into the Ten Years war a boy, raising

Clara province. He fought to the end
of that var and beyond it-into the
Little War" With a command Of
two or three hundred he baffled 25,-
900 spaniards for three months even
after Maceo had given up, and he
never surrendered. His terms were
that he must be allowed to leave the

go with him. The Spaniards accepted
the conditions, and in that fashion he
