La Junta tribune., 1899-09-30

The democratic platform of 1899
smacks OF copperheadism, (anti-
Imperialism they call it) jus, as the
democratic platform OF 1864 did,
which declared that the war was a
failure. The party OF empty
promises and broken pledges is al
ways against the government. 1t
is very difficult to teach an old dog
new tricks.

cation. The board Of registry
meets at nine o'clock in the morn
ing and remains in session until six
o'clock Of the same day.
Ths board Of registry meets
again on the Tuesday Of the week
preceding the Election for the pur-
pose of revising, correcting and
completing the registry list. at
which time any elector whose name
is not on the registry list may have
his name placed thereon. The
board meets again on the day pre-
ceding election when it is neces-
sary for an elector to subscribe to
an oath to have his name placed
on the registry list. and prove by
the oath of two registered electors
Of the precinct that he is a legally
qualified voter.
No vote shall be received at any
election unless the name OF the
person offering to vote shall be
found on the registry list. In or
der to be sure OF not losing your
vote, it is the better way for every
elector to personally assure himself
that his name has been placed on
the registry list.
La Junta tribune., 1899-09-30

The democrats at Rocky Ford
worked the old gag Of calling up
the sheeted dead to stand in line
with them on the question OF the
.perpetuity OF our republic, which
is a brand new issue. You can't
blame them, however. All good
democrats have been long time
dead.
La Junta tribune., 1899-09-30

The democratic platform heartily
endorses the administration OF
Hon. Charles S. Thomas. Our
governor won the admiration and
lasting gratitude OF his democratic
constituents when he signed the
iniquitious prize fight law.

The Calumet has been distributing its
ad3itlonal profits by two extra divi-
bends this year. In Mar. it paid an
extra dividend of $50, and in June one
OF $40, making with the regular $40

A considerable part of at least the first
extra dividend is understood to repre-
sent accumulated surplus rather than
recent profits. The $40 extra paid in
June more fairly indicates the probable
distribution for the remainder of the
year, which would bring the aggregate
for the year to $780,
Montana declared SIC in 1898, IS in
Feb, and Sc in May, 1899. A similar
increase to that of the Quincy would
make the next dividend about $10.25 and
the total for the year $3.50, which is
considerably less than the company is
earning.

$3.50 paid six mos. ago, an increase of

indication Of the extent of the increased
profits in copper mining. Last Aug. the
Quincy increased it's rate from SO to
$3.50 semi-annually The other dividend
paying mines are doing at least as well
as this. and 1t is interesting to figure
