A man talks about owning his bust
ness. But, as matter of fact his bust.
ness owns him. His whole life is regu-
lated by the demands of the business.
The time at which he rises, his break
fast hour, the time given to meals, are
all determined by business obligations.
He rushes through lunch because he
"can't spare the time from business to
eat leisurely. He won't take rest be-
cause he is needed at the store or office.
He is in fact an absolute slave to BUSH
ness. The results which follow this
slavery are to be seen on every hand,
Men dyspeptic, irritable, nervous, with
drawn faces, and hollow eyes, sit at the
desk or stand behind the counter until
they collapse in fit of sickness, or are
taken away by heart failure. Those
who cannot escape the exactions of bus
mess will find friend in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t strength
ems the stomach, increases the action OF
the blood making glands, increasing
the vitality and physical vigor. II
makes men strong and prevents those
business break downs which so often
terminate fatally.

Christian L.dl.. Entertain.

The Ladies Aid of the Christian
church gave "birthday reception
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. o.
G. Hess from 4 to II p. IN. Thurs
day evening. They realized about
$50. This goes into the building
fund. Our church being entirely
too small to accommodate the
evening audiences, we have re-
solved, as soon as we can raise
funds to buy desirable lots, to
erect new church building. We
feel very grateful for the liberal
patronage Of the past, and hope,
if the good people of La Junta
think we are coming quite often to
the front with our entertainments.
they will remember it is our ambi
ton to erect a nice, commodious
church that will be a credit to ouI
city.
Our thanks are gratefully given
to Mr.. and Mrs. Hess for their
hospitality, the musicians who SC
kindly assisted in the entertain.
ment of the large crowd and the
members Of our sister churches
who gave US both social and
financial aid. Especially do we
appreciate the assistance of OUT
associate members who are such
earnest workers with US. The
crowd was estimated at from three
hundred and fifty to four hundred.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hess received a
tribute to their popularity, and
moved around in their crowded
rooms with words of welcome for
every one. Again we say thanks.

SATURDAY, JAN. al, 1899,

In another column OF this issue
will be found an epitome of ancient
local history taken from the files
of the TRIBUNE of twelve years
ago. This feature will be con-
tinued from time to time through
out the present year, and will
probably be of interest to old
timers as well as many newcomers.
Our files are complete from April
IS, 1886, and we have put in con-
siderable time this week arranging
and placing them in proper shape
for binding. The files will make a
very full and cor.plete history Of
events in. La unta and Otero
county. There is some very inter-
esting reading Of political nature,
the editors of the TRIBUNE SEEM
ingly having delighted in news
paper and personal controversy.
This made life interesting for the
editor, but burden for the TRiB-
UNE readers. Most people on this
mundane sphere have troubles OF
heir own, and the editor who
insists upon making public mat
ter of his private grievances and
disappointments is accorded very
little sympathy by his readers.

The initiative and referendum
may be in the line OF progress, but
the fact still remains that in trades,
unions and organizations where it
has been introduced the members
observe the new conditions with
general apathy. The international
typographical union recently in
corporated the initiative and
referendum in its constitution. At
an election held in San Francisco
last week several proposed new
laws were voted upon, and out OF
a membership of over 500 only
Io5 expressed an opinion. To intro
duce the initiative and referendum
in Colorado, a state where the
birds OF the air, the beasts OF the
field, and various wonderful devices
of men are utilized on the official
ballot to assist the benighted voter
in his choice Of candidates, would
be travesty upon our great COM
monwealth. We would have to
label our proposed new laws with
a comprehensive emblem in order
to make them Ineligible to the
average voter.
La Junta tribune., 1899-01-21

The taxpayers OF Otero county
have been in receipt of ''gentle
reminders" Cd from the county
treasurer this week apprising them
of the fact that the tax collector
is abroad in the land once more.
There have been many vigorous
kicks at the high rate. Taxes are
about one-fifth higher than they
were last year. The rate in La
Junta is S7.7o on the SIoo valua-
ton, 81. so higher than it was last
year. The town OF La Junta tax
is 80 mills, 10 mills higher than
the previous year, and there is also
an increase in the county and
school levy of ~ mills each. The
sewer system causes the increase
in the town tax, and the increased
county levy was imperative in
order to pay for the So, 900 bridge
to be erected across the river at
Fowler. There is nothing surer
than death and taxes and a howl
about either is about as effective
in the first instance as it is in the
latter.
La Junta tribune., 1899-01-21

Colonel Bryan in a speech at
Denver this week assumed the role
Of prophet once more. He pre-
diets that the date Of bankruptcy
is not far ahead for this country.
We have a dim recollection Of
several prophecies made by the
colonel in 1896 amen, wheat and
silver, insufficient money supply,
business depression and general
commercial stagnation. Subse-
quent events proved the colonel to
be an utter failure in the role of
prophet then, but he still persists.

The present republican attorney
general now decides that the
special session was illegal, claim

state OF affairs to justify it, and all
laws passed at that session are
void. Kansas is now numbered

"Did you ever notice the dirt wayer
asked an old fisherman at the Sixty
ninth street dock one day in April, as
he pointed to long, black streak on the
lake, which looked like the line of the
horizon.
"A peculiar thing is that dirt wave,
continued the old man. examining his
hook, "and for many year I've been
puzzled about 1t. y
Upon being asked to tell something
about the dirt wave. he said:
"Well. that wave comes about twice
year as regular as the season and
never fails to reach this side of the lake
during the month of April. Where it
comes from l cant exactly understand,
and how the rubbish which it carries
sticks together is a mystery to me.
"You will notice he continued,
"that as far as you can see in either
direction the dirt wave reaches.
1.-The dirt wave doesn't travel as fast
as common waves-another thing I
don't understand-and it'll be "a hours
before it reaches the shore.
"What is the dirt composed Off"
"Why, just common rubbish-sticks,
wooden boxes, old newspapers mixed
up with sort of mortar Of dust and
marine plants. I'll bet that wave is 100
miles long. Chicago Democrat.
