A man must reap as he sows. II he sows

1t is daily and hourly marvel that men
will recklessly neglect their health, when
a moments thought should tell them that
they are counting death. It lies in most
every mans power to live to a green old
age. II a man would only take the same

Political BlOOdshed at Colorado
Springs.

The contest between the Teller and
Wolcott wings of the Silver Republican
party resulted in the killing Of one man
as noted in last weeks Enterprise. II
came about in this way: National Chair
man Towne, becoming convinced that
Chairman Broad and Secretary Freeman.
the executive officers OF tho Silver Re.
publican organization in this state, had
decided to recognize the contesting VOL
colt delegates in the organization OF the
convention, removed them on the ground
that they were traitors to their party
In their places he appointed Jas. II.
Blood chairman and William GriiIith
secretary. Mr.. Blood secured possession
Of the opera house and placed guard
there to hold il until the convention met.
Broad, the deposed chairman, went to
Denver and returned with band Of
toughs to take possession Of the opera
house by force. This they did at
o'clock on the morning OF Sept. G. The
persons in charge of the house resisted
the unlawful and unwarranted assault
and @. E. Harris, one OF the attacking
party, was killed. The responsibility for
his death rests wholly upon the Wolcott
crowd. There is no possible combina-
ton OF circumstances which will Justify
political leaders in attempting to gain
possession OF room by force for the
purpose Of holding convention.
The deposition Of Broad is a some
what new proceeding in politics but the
evidence of his treachery was so glaring
that no other course was open IL the in
tegrity Of the party was to be protected.
The assault on the opera house is addi-
tional evidence OF the intent OF the
Broad faction.

Twenty Stories About Mark Twain

it's next number some twenty odd stories
about him, none OF which have ever been

droll sort, but not moro funny than the
snapshot" pictures Of Mark which his
friends have loaned the magazine. These,
too, have never been printed.
Letters from Charley Lame and X.

The peaches sent from Hon. J. H. Crow

the subject OF universal admiration.
Evidence that this is n peach coun-
try continues to accumulate. H. F. Ha-
gen on Tuesday presented the Enter
prise with most substantial tokens OF the
peach producing resources OF our soil
and sunshine. The peaches were OF enor-
nous size, riviling California monsters,
but far superior in flavor to Pacific coast
fruit
This morning Rocky Ford sent n
large delegation to Canon City's Fruit

IF. d. Bouchard says that all melons
are not poor this year. To prove this,
he brought us on Saturday a couple OF
cantaloupes which had been picked the
previous Sunday and and kept in well.
They were well preserved and OF splen-
did flavor. Mr.. Bouchard is Of the opin-
ion that much Of the trouble is due to
rough handling by incompetent growers
and their helpers. He favors a smaller
crate-one holding two layers (abont 30
melons) SO that the inspector can see at a
| glance every melon in the crate. Which
seems most excellent idea. In fact
there is yet much to learn about the can
taloupe business before it is brought to
perfection.

A number OF cantaloupe growers
have suffered great loss by reason Of

Tbs grower who finds his whole season 8

has been damaged, and that the man
who is responsible for the lose should
make some reparation. A suit to test

wholesome for NIL interested.

The itinerary OF the National Edito-

Ford next Saturday. A strong effort
was made to arouse IN interest IN the
proposed visit and provide for the enter

citizens and tho Denver committee was
advised to make change in the program
and leave Rocky Ford out. We can
take consolation in tho reflection that

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week beginning July IL.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, A. nj.
Topic. Elaboration to Earnestness.

SCRIPTURE REApING.-Eccl. tx. 10 What |
soever thy hand findeth 70 do. do 1t with thy |
might"
There are many old maxims which |
enforce the same sentiment as this verse |
from the Bible. They are good guides
to conduct. Most people are SO consti- |
tuted that they need frequent reminders
of duty. Incidence and Indifference al
most insensibly creep over us, and effort
is relaxed and excuses are found for
idleness and abandonment of work 1t
is a singular fact, and as true as singu-
lar, that many natures enter with great
interest and enthusiasm upon a new
piece of work and maintain zeal and ac-
tivity so long as it is new or difficult,
but when the end appears within sight
a revulsion of feeling sets in, doubt
arises if the result will pay for the ex-
ertion, and there is great temptation to
give up the whole matter This is pecul-
iarly the case with people OF nervous
temperament and may be due in some
measure to the fact that the nervous vi
tally has been overtaxed, and the final
draft made upon it to complete the task
finds the physical forces exhausted and
this reacts ON mental and spiritual pow
ers, causing q sense of WEAKNESS indif-
ference and Encouragement.
Each one needs to study his own ma
ture and know where and when his pc
culiar temptations will arise, and so be
I ready to meet them.
Some never seem ready to do any
thing with vigor. Some appear to con-
slider it mark of culture to be very
moderate in expression and exertion, as
if it was vulgar to be earnest and inter-
! ested. Such notions are false and PERM
cious. The great Italian poet Dante
well characterizes such as these. He
represents them as neither living nor
dead, but confined in the vestibule OF
hell, whom neither hell nor heaven will
receive. Pusillanimity is their fault.
Here was THAT one who made the
great refusal. F" Perhaps the poet meant
the rich young ruler who was told to sell
all he had and give to the poor and ther
follow Jesus. Certain it is that no one
ever attained to any eminence in good
ness who did not put his strength into
doing good. Doors of the word and no
mere hearers are the blessed and bless
ing ones.
This passage also means another thin.
-" What is we'll worth doing is wortl
doing we'll. No work which ought t.
be done should be done carelessly o
slightingly. Activity and fidelity ar
, imbedded in this proverb.
This also discounts all seeking ala
for q sphere of work. Whatever is nea
at hand, the present opportunity is

not be so attractive as some faroff on
! dreamed of, but it is the real one. ID
