x.Rays In Use.

The first practical use of the Roent-
gen rays by surgeons in this section
of the state were made by Drs.
Brooks and Wilkinson last Wednesday
at the Office Of the first named gentle-
man in Florence. The subject was
Master George Rouse, of South Canon,
who. while engaged in playing leap
frog" had the misfortune Of missing
calculations, falling in such manner
as to throw his full weight upon one
arm, crushing the bone near the ell
bow. DIR. Wilkinson was called in
but the swelling had risen so rapidly
that it was impossible to locate the
exact seat of the fracture, or to de-
termine its nature. hence the neces-
sity of bringing modern appliances in
to use. Knowing that DR.. Brooks
had but recently added the X-Rays
apparatus TO his laboratory, the at
tending surgeon was not long in
reaching decision, and the patient
was Immediately taken to Florence,
where an examination was made.
When the light was turned ON the
bones of the arm were plainly visible
and the fact was disclosed that there
was compound fracture Of one bone
below the elbow, which was also split,
the seam extending into the elbow
joint. The fracture was reduced and
the boy returned to his home, where
he is doing as nicely as the nature Of
the injury will permit, although it is
rather more than probable that the
elbow joint will never again be of ser
vice to him.

Alumni Reception.

The Alumni Associations of the
High Schools gave their twelfth an
nual reception, Friday night in Pal
mer's Hall The affair was given in
honor of the Class of '9S, but was also
enjoyed by many of the past gradua-
tes and their friends. The program
was begun by the pretty piano duet
Overture Semiramide, by Mrs. Cra-
ven and Miss Dale. Mr.. Kent L. El-
dred, president of the Alumni Asso-
citation and member of the class of
80, delivered the opening address. to
which Ed Fowler, president of the
class of '9S, made very appropriate
response. The Mandolin club under
the leadership of Prof. Fountain, de
lighted the audience with selection.
Miss Drusella Nutting of the class
of 'e2 in her paper Personal Men
tons entertained her audience with
short mention OF all the graduates
of the High School from the first
class down to the present day. The
Linden Tree" was the title of beau
tiful solo sung by Miss Marion Phelps.
After another selection by the Man
dolin club. Miss Florence Rockafellow
played the charming piano solo "Vaise
Chronatiuue." Miss Pestina, of Pu-
eblo, by request favored the company
with vocal solo which was well ap-
preciated, and Mr.. johnson proved
that he was an artist of no ordinar,
ability in two selections he performed
on the piano. The Banjo. Guitar and
Mandolin club closed the program
with some stirring selections.

Memorial Address.

Those who failed to hear Rev Mr.
Sibbald's remarks at the opera house
last night, missed a really good talk.
He started in by giving reasons for
the general observation of Memorial
day, quoting literally from the G. A.
K. ritual. He also presented some
potent facts argumentative of the ne
cessity of fostering spirit of patriot
ism as well as the spirit of unity be-
tween the North and South. Going
on. he showed how enmity had been
engulfed in brotherly love and dis
sensions had given place to peace.
OF how much greater value to nations
and humanity was the rule of peace
than the rule of war, showing how
prosperity reigned under the former
and poverty and desolation under the
latter. Touching an alliance between
this country and Great Britain. he
said he was opposed to any other than
peace alliance. An alliance where
the upbuilding and uplifting of hu-
manity prevailed, rather than one in
which the predominating feature was
the gain of fame and power through
the destruction of life and property,
On behalf of the Grand Army, Mr.,
Sibbald thanked the business men and
the community at large for the liber-
ality and general willingness to assist
in making the day one long to be re-
membered and treasured.

An interesting crowd congregated
at the bicycle track shortly after
dinner TO witness Eve contests be-
tween local riders. The first race
was a one mile event in which Rob
Moore, John Bransford and Bert Ellis
participated. Moore won in 2:45,
Bransford second and Ellis third. but
there being time limit of 2:s0 the
race sss rn.ied q and run oy.- with
Fred Moore and Rob. Moore entered,

as PAGERS. Time 2:3213. Rob. Moore
winning.
Next came third OF q mile race
between Rob. Moore and Bert Ellis
which was won by Moore in 57s sec
onds.
Then there was the ordinary race,
the big iifty-two inch wheels causing
much merriment and vociferous cheer
ing as they turned down the stretch
toward the grand stand. There were
only three riders, John Hardenbergh,
Lou Smith and Frank Towers. finishing
the mile in the order named. Time,
403.
The fourth race was a five-mile

In New Quarters.

County Clerk Nilsson and his corps
of clerks were today transferred from
their old quarters in the court house
to more commodious Offices in the
new annex. The county commission
ers will also hold their next session
in the annex in room on the east
side of the main hallway, which has
been especially prepared for their use.
The clerks Office is equipped with the
very latest things in the way of desks,
counters, tables and chairs, while the
vault in which are kept all books of
record and valuable papers is model
of convenience with space sufficient
TO meet all demands for years to
come. The boys are all smiles now,
and nothing is too good for visitors,
although they are not in the least
stuck up because of their pleasant
surroundings.
The commissioners room Is q per-
feet dream of elegance, nicely car
peted and furnished with comfortable
chairs, not alone for the use of the
board but for those attending the
meetings as well.
An important change is contem-
plated in the treasurer's Office, too,
which will add much to its convent
ence. By cutting an archway the
room formerly used by the sheriff will
become a part of the treasury de-
partment, thus placing this Office at
the very entrance to the building.
TIE changes are good all the way
round and highly appreciated by the
officers.

A FRANK TALK.

The first burst of enthusiasm over
the new daily. at least in the
RECORD office, is over. The
proposition now has simmered down
to stern reality and an expensive
luxury. Aside from the extra re-
sponsibility and hard work, the ex-
pense of producing daily is some
thing great. Our start has been said
by all to be good. We are giving
the people larger daily than any ex-
pecred and larger than We can 3 ord.
Can we afford to keep il up? That Is
a question for the people to answer.
The cost Of producing the DAILY
RECORD in the form it now is, will
not be less than sl7 per day about
500 per week. The visible income
just now is less than $50 per week.
This, however, viii be increased some
what next week. This shows on It's
face that runni ,lailr Ia caNon Is
not very great 4ASie. rsaas.s.s
scheme. and that no paper can stand
such enterprise" any great length
of time. Canon should have daily
and we are willing to do ou- part il
others show some interest. We are
willing to experiment with something
of this nature for twelve or fifteen
weeks II there is lair showing Of
its becoming self-sustaining there
after. What we must have first is
500 pay subscribers and we viii
have no other kind to the daily.
Then We must have more advertising.
There is not business man on Main
street who cannot afford to carry
some kind OF an ad in the daily. 1t
will help to establish and support a
valuable institution for the city and
will be OF benefit to all.

From these he drew scriptural lessons
for spiritual and temporal welfare,
closing with a clinching argument in
favor OF taking the bible as the cri-
terion for all our acts and thoughts.
The opening services were conducs-
ed by Rev. W. J. Fisher of the Cum
berland church, Rev. Arthur C.
Mcmillan of the Presbyterian church,
read the scripture lesson, and Rev. P.
J. Dickerson of the Christian church,
pronounced the benediction.

is dearth of good spring poetry.

Summer Normal School.


At the opening of Profs. Colgate
and Smiths Summer Normal School
yesterday four counties were repre-
sented. The occasion was pleasur-
able surprise to Messrs. Colgate and
Smith. there being forty pupils pres
ent, the majority of them teachers
from the public schools of the coun-
ties represented, although quite a
number were members of the High
Schools of this city and South Canon.
1t is believed the class will be swelled
to fifty before the close of the first
week, which is indeed fiattering in
dication of the high esteem in which
the gentlemen having the affair in
hand are held wherever known.
Messrs. Colgate and Smith are en-
titled to congratulations for this evi-
deuce of their ability as instructors.
while the people of this section are to
be congratulated that so much enter
prise is possessed by two of its resi-
dents as to attempt the establishment
of such an institution. Besides at
tracing attention to Canon City as
an educational center it will be the
means through which considerable
money viii be put into circulation
here that otherwise would have gone
to some other city. or lain idle. The
school will continue six weeks, clos
ing July 9th.
