MISS SIMPSONS ENGAGEMENT.

GLEN RIDGE, January 23.-The an
nouncement of the engagement of Miss
Hanna Sampson, daughter of Admiral
Sampson, to Ensign Watt II. Cluveri-
us, was surprise not only to Miss
SIMPSONS friends here, but also to the
admiral and his family, who did not
know of it until Friday, when Mrs.
Sampson heard of it, and telegraphed
to Miss Sampson, who was at Annapo-
lis, Nd, inquirng as to the truth of
the report. The reply came back that
it was true. Ensign Cluverius is eX-
pected to sail on the Solace for Manila
on Wednesday,

VISIT DELAYED.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 23.-
Some time ago Archbishop Riordan,
acting on the advice of his physician.
decided to take vacation of rest and
arranged for trip to the Hawaiian Is
lands. 1t was expected that the sea
voyage would prove beneficial as well
as the rest from his clerical and bust
ness labors. The report of his cOntem-
plated visit reached Honolulu, and his
friends there are anticipating the arch
bishops arrival on the next steamer,
but they will be disappointed, as Fa-
ther Mulligan, the secretary of his
grace, stated yesterday that the arch
bishop had abandoned the idea of the
trip, at least for the present. His
health has greatly improved of late
and his many duties necessitated his
remaining here on duty. The trip may
be made in the near future.

AS predicted by the Indicator n
short time ago, a number of new
cases of smallpox have developed
notwithstanding the statement of
certain health officials that there
would be no more cases. Because
of the exposure of many persons
to the disease when smallpox first
made its appearance, there was
bound to be lew crop rs soon as
it had time to develop, and the
time arrived this week. The Law
ISL use of dislnfectants in home
and workshop, i'll places of bust
ness and public places is the cure
for it. Let every citizen do his
duty in this matter. A little mon
ey expended in sulphur ami car
bolic acid, in assafoetida all | gum
of camphor aud other good killers
of disease germs might save a
spell of sickness and maybe a
life.-Indicator.

for a long time, while the slopes
above timber line are practically
bare. Several correspondents re-
port that much of the snow which
fell above timber line on the
western slope has actually been
transferred by the prevailing high
westerly winds to the timber on
the eastern slope, thereby in
creasing the amount which will
be available for late irrigation OIL
the latter slope.
The ground is in fine condition
to absorb the generally heavy
snowfall that has occurred over
the upper drainage area of the
Arkansas. Owing to high winds
much of the snow TINT fell above
timber line has been swept into
the gulches and immense drifts
in the timber. Abnormally cold
weather has kept the snow from
melting, and it has become we'll
packed. AS compared with last
year the average or usual amount.
the fall has greater, except in the
western prrt of Las Animas coun-
ty and over small areas Of moder-
ate elevation in Fremont and
Custer counties. The consensus
of opinion is that the flow will be
much greater than last year, and
of longer duration.

The event of the literary year
will be, undoubtedly, the great
novel upon which Count Tolstoi
has been laboring in order that he
may devote the proceeds to the
transportation to Canada of three
thousand Russian quakers. 1t is
generally believed by his friends
that this work will probably mark
the conclusion of Count Tolstoi's
literary career. Not merely on
this account, but because Of the
subject treated, it will attract the
widest attention, the world over.
It is profound study of the life
of man and woman, and treats of
the three phases Of love-that of
the youth, that of the young man,
and that Of the man in mature age.

refund the illegal charges to shippers.
A resolution was passed stating that
the association enter it's solemn protect

this association in the National Live

secure action that will result in doing

Rocky Ford Melongrowers don't want
the Earth.

In commenting on tho Enterprises
late gloomy viewof the cantaloupe outlook
the La Junta Tribune says;
"Probably the outlook would have q
more roseate hue IL the growers about
Rocky Ford did not exhibit such an ab-
normal propensity to encompass and
possess the earth IN the management OF
the consolidated organization. Rocky
Ford is not the only cantaloupe pebble
on the beach in the Arkansas Valley"
The Tribune is mistaken. The Rocky
Ford growers ask NO more prominence
in the proposed federation than their
acreage and the proved excellence OF
their products warrant.

A Promising Outlook for the
Oantaloupe Business.

A Promising Outlook for the
Oantaloupe Business.
Tuesday an important meeting
was held in Rocky Ford, consisting
of representatives OF tine various
melon growers organizations in
Otero county. The object was to
unite OH some plan Of federation
SO that during the shipping season
Of 1899 there might be harmony
and cooperation between the va
rious associations. This most de-
sirable--and, in fact, absolutely
necessary arrangement-was eff
fected by tho adoption of the fol-
lowing
ARTICLES OF FEDERATION.
Sec. l. There shall he commit
tee known rs the market commit
tee," to consist of one representa-
tive from each of the duly organ
lied melon growers associations
of Otero county, Colorado. Each
representative shall have full
authority and the proper creden-
tials to bind his association in all
matters within the scope of author
|ity delegated to said committee.
Sec. 2. Each member of the
committee shall be chosen in any
manner his association may select,
and shall be paid by his own asso-
citation.
Sec. 3. Said committee shall
have power to name the cash price
to be paid for cantaloupes and
watermelons on the depot plat
form at point of shipping.
Sec. 4. Said committee shall
have power to determine to what
fruit merchant, or syndicate Of
fruit merchants the goods shall be
sold; provided, that the contract
to be subsequently executed by
the board of directors of each of
the various associations be in all
respects satisfactory to each board.
| Sec. 5. Said committee shall
have power to distribute the gen.
eral contract for melons among
the various associations repre-
sented on this committee in pro-
portion.
Sec. 6. The committee shall
have power to designate the size
and style of crate to be used by
the various associations, provided,
however, that all crates on hand
shall be first used.
The consummation of this plan
of cooperation among the melon
growers of Otero county goes a
very long way toward assuring
the prevalence of association meth
ods throughout the valley. This
being done there is a bright fu-
ture for the melongrowers. Last
year was the only "off year" in the
history of the cantaloupe industry
in the valley. And there is no
reason to doubl but that the sea-
son of 1899 will be of the old time
prosperous character which has
in the past made cantaloupe
growing SO profitable.
This committee and the direc-
tors of the various associations
will meet at Rocky Ford Monday
next to confer with prospective
buyers.
Snowfall in the Mountains.
In the past two winters it has
been demonstrated by the Colora-
do section of the Climate and
Crop Service of the Weather Bu-
reau that it is feasible to make
for the eusuing season fair esti-
mate Of the amount and duration
of the waterfow in the different
streams whose main source of
supply is melted sonw. While it
is true that more snow usually
falls after Jan. LIST than before
that date, agriculturists of Colo
RADIO and abutting territory attach
great importance to the amount
received early in the season, for
these SHOWS solidify, and conse-
quently do not melt until late in
the season, furnishing a water

A Splendid Idea.

A good plan for familiarizing pupils
with foreign countries is to have them
correspond with the pupils OF schools in
the far away cities, as Glasgow, Liver.
pool, Toronto. etc. An interchange Of
correspondence makes the pupils familiar
with the actual, everyday lives of the
children of other countries and teaches
them more than half dozen biographies
conld. It might be profitably nsed in an
Of our own country. Try it.
This suggestion weclip from the Wal
senburg World and commend to the
Rocky Ford schools as worthy OF adop-
ton.
in the election expenses OF the vari-
ous candidates and central committees,
there ls invariably an item OF cigars
among the expense items. but in no case
does the item of beer or whiskey occur.
As these expense accounts are sworn to
as correct, both as to the amount ex-
pended and for what purpose, 1t is cer-
tainly gratifying to know that the former
custom Of drinking has been completely
eliminated from our election campaigns.
This condition of affairs seems to be the
same all over the state and we are glad
tu see tile saloons losing their political
grip. While we regret to see such
largely increased use OF the cigar for
campaign purposes, yet that certainly is
much less Questionable than whiskey
and we hope to see still further reforms
in the matter OF election expenses until
the system Of treating is entirely nbol-
ished.- -Loveland Cor. Fort Collins Ex-
