Valley Train Service.

The Pueblo Chieftain of Satur-
day quoted paragraph from the
Enterprise of last week in regard
to the inconvenience of the Santa
Fe passenger train service. Com
ments were made as follows:
Gas the schedule is now ar
ranged it is impossible for any
resident of the places east of Pue-
bio to come here for a days busi-
ness, or for any Puebloan to go to
those places without the loss of a
full nights sleep. To take the
trains bound hitherward residents
of any of the valley communities
must get up almost in the middle
of the night and returning they
are landed at their homes in the
late night if they desire to get
back the same day they reach this
city. In the same way, to go to
one of the valley towns from Pue-
bio means the loss OF time and the
suffering much inconvenience. y
The policy of the Santa
Fe should therefore be to strive to
cement the more securely in bonds
of union, every part of the Arkan-
sas valley. This could be done
by change IN the train service
that would be of profit to the com.
pany through the increased travel
that would come. The valley is a
unit in asking this change. 1t can
be secured it the press from Pue-
bio east will join with the news
papers here in making the re-
quest" 70

Just now eight religious Or
ganizations are represented in
Rocky Ford, and it's all right. We
have no sympathy with the senti-
ment that all religious people
should have one belief and go un-
der one name. The various tenn
peraments and mental combina-
tions in mankind make division on
minor points necessity. These
various sects are as useful as the
divisions Of an army into compa-
nies and regiments. The one.
church advocates seek an impos.
sibility.

THURSDAY. JULY 13. 1899.

Among the reflections caused
by the Jail breaking escapado at
La Junta last Saturday is this:
The legislature made mistake in
abolishing capital punishment. A
man like Bohannan, who killed his
father, deserves to be swiftly re-
moved from the world. In cases
like this, where the guilt of the
accused is beyond question, and
the crime so heinous, the world
should be rid of the murderer.
There are too many uncertainties
about a penitentiary sentence--too
many chances for escape. Muir
derers of the desperate class to
which Bohannan belongs should
be promptly and lawfully hanged
that society may be saved from
any responsibility of their. future
crimes.

There seems to be no doubt
but that the extra session of the
Legislature will be called. Every
indication in fact points to that
end. The assessments in the
counties show no marked increase
over last year, and it is generally
conceded that the raise in railroad
valuations which the state board
made is of too little consequence
to help things along materially.
Attorney General Campbell has
advised that the state cannot Issue
certificates Of indebtedness to tide
the treasury over until 1861. II
this opinion is to be respected
there is no escape from the extra
session, MS the state institutions
must have money.

Men are given to criticising
women for devotion to fashion.
But they have little reason for do
ing SO, considering the glass in
their own houses. Women show
excessively bad taste and judgment
in wearing street dresses which
raise cloud of uncleanly dust
but their brothers who wear pants
too tight and too short, obeying
the dictates of fashion, are not the
ones to criticise them. All are in
the same boat.

The health authorities of

campaign on the rank growth of
weeds which disfigure many por-

The trees in the park have
now grown to such n size as to
make it very pleasant place of
resort these warm days. The en-
joyment of the lawn and shade
would be increased if seats were
provided. The town treasury is
not in condition to stand the ex-
pense but our business men might
do so. Let each of the leading
business houses place comfort
able bench in the park. Their
public spirit will be made known
and some advertising returns re-
ceived if they shall ornament the

incredible brutality In the works OF a

director and six Belgian foremen, with
u view OF forcing confession. The
lads eyelids were pierced with needles.
their bodies were sayagely belabored
until they lost consciousness their
teeth were extracted, large stones
we've forced into their mouths and
their foreheads were hammered with
the butts OF revolvers. The public
prosecutor is now making an inyesti-
cation into the affair.
