A complaint was flied in the
county court yesterday charging

failing. Ii is believed that she

c. w. Wonderly closed the deal
this week for the purchase OF the
band instruments owned by the
knights of Pythias. There are
eleven pieces in the set, and the
instruments are among the best
made. Mr. Wonderly has kindly
offered to sell the instruments to
the band boys on the installment
plan, providing they will stick to-
gether and practice faithfully. The
band boys are elated at the pros
pect OF securing the use OF the in
struments, and they ought TO be
able to pay for them during the
course OF the coming summer.
The citizens of La Junta would
literally patronize any entertain
ment given under the auspices Of
the band to help it along.

company at all cities and towns
along the line OF the road asking
for data in reference to theatrical

information furnished by the COM
pany will show the population OF
each OF the cities and towns, the
seating capacity of the theater or
hall, the size OF the stage, the
heighth of the grooves and other
valuable details. 1t will probably
result in many of the smaller
places along the line of the Santa

during the coming season than
ever before. When the theatrical

Mr.. Dawes, the comptroller of the

gard to the apparent scarcity of paper
money, said to a Washington cores
pendent, Monday. "rhe chief reason
for the growing demand for paper
money is professionally the increase
in the general volume of business
There has been no reduction in the
amount of paper money which of itself
would cause scarcity. The situation in
reference to bills is brought about by
the increase in the demand and not by
Il decrease in the supply. The amount
of paper money in circulation March
], 1899. is much greater than it was one
year ago. While the decrease in circu-
la ton in the amount of gold certificates
is $3,413,95O, in treasury notes $4.259,971
