Money if he W0ntS.

Yesterday wagon load or more Of
boys started out in the country under
contract to thin beets. They were dis
tributed among farmers in the lower
valley. who had crops of beets in the
ground that needed thinning badly.
The boys were to receive for their ser
vices from fifty cents to one dollar day
and their board, according to their abil-
ity.
The work started of we'll, but before
the middle OF the afternoon the major
portion Of the boys had packed their
blankets and left for town
The object of the beet sugar factory is
to make work for all classes of labor
Here is an opportunity presented, by
which young boys and children can
make good wages for themselves, and
yet Manager Cox, Of the beet sugar fac
tory and those in charge Of watching the
erops are in grave doubts whether they
can secure enough to properly care for
the crop.
1t seems on the face Of things that
that there are enough boys in tho city
and country districts to furnish all the
help needed, but it has not been demon
strated 30 far.
About two weeks ago the Colorado
Sugar Manufacturing Company import
ed fifty seven young men and boys from
Utah, to give instructions how to thin
the beets and to assist in caring for the
crop.
With this help and the labor at home
no thought was given that there would
not be sufficient labor. but it is grave
question with the management whether
they will not have to go outside the
state for help and allow the money
which should belong to the people Of
this valley, to be taken from us.
Ono of the primal matters which was
first given consideration when the fac
tory was first talked Of, was that it
would furnish all kinds of labor, but up
to the present time the company has
had to scrap to get hands to do the work
OF caring for the crop.
Boys Of Grand Junction now is your
opportunity. There are plenty OF you
and there should be no hesitancy on
your part, about going to work. The
comps nsation is ample for the character
of work. Don't let it be said that you
don't want work and afterwards make q
long face for it.

Last evening occurred the closing OK
ercises at the Indian school and there
was a largo crowd in attendance from
tho city and the country. 1t was not, in
fact the commencement exercises OF the
school which have usually been held at
this time Of the year. So many OF the
children are out at work at this time OF
tho wear that Prof. Lennon states that
it was almost impossible to have their
regular exercises.
The entertainment was held in tho
nav auditorium room, and in this fact
there was mneh delight as the hall is
we'll adapted for this class OF entertain
ment and much better than tho old re-
oeption hall. It is spacious and beau
tiful room with stage and other appli-
ances which make it we'll adapted for
any class Of entertainment.
Tho entertainment last night gave
conclusive proof that the school is still
on the up grade Of progress under Prof.
Lsmmon's administration.
The children performed admirably
and their execution OF the different
numbers OF the program elected the
very warmest applause.
The drills BY certain scholars were
most sxcsllent. Altogether ii was one
Of tho very best entertainments that has

Saturday June
24th.

Everything is strawberries with the
Glenwood people right now. They talk
straw berries and advertise Strawberries
to their friends wherever they may be.
A party Of strawberry hustlers came

Glenwood Springs special correspond
ent of the Leadville Herald-Democrat,
D. w. Smart and John Richardson,
businessmen, G. M. Keck, tho Colorado
Midland agent at Glenwood and w. n.
Lee, deputy state game warden.
The gentlemen are making arrange
ments with the Colorado Light Guard
band and in other ways are working up
sentiment for the celebration of the
day. Tho committee says that it ex-
poets big delegation from this city and
they are sure they are going to get it, il
i. is to be gotten by hustling' That is
their business here and they are letting
all persons know that they want visitors
at Glenwood on Strawberry day.
Last year a crowd OF over two hun
dred people went from this city to at
tend the days events and they never
enjoyed better time. The committee
promises this year that they will outdo
their former efforts and expect to see
double that number from this city. The
hustlsrs are getting many promises from
our business mon to 60 to Glenwood and
whom the time arrives for the event 1t
may be expected that there will be a
good delegation from this city.

A PATHETIC 1so1D

Among the mourners at the funeral Of
L. h. Pruitt, which was held from the
residence in Colorado City this morning,
was a cousin of the deceased brakeman.
who learned of the latter's death
through the columns of the Telegraph.
He arrived in the city on visit just
two days before the accident in the Col
orado Midland yards in which Pruitt
lost his life, and did not even know that
his cousins home was in Colorado City.
He had heard that family OF that name
resided there but did not know .hat it
was his relative and 80 did not call upon
them.
However, when on Tuesday evening
he purchased copy of the Telegraph
from q newsboy, and on looking it over,
read OF the accident the night before,
and saw the victims full kame, he was
fearfully shocked for he recognized the
name as that of bis cousin.
His subsequent meeting OF the dead
mans wife, bride OF only three weeks
was very pathetic, and his sad appear
ance at the funeral today was noticea-

The rows fertilized wholly are partly with Acid Phosphate were the next most vigorous in growth and early in blooming, &c., but were of q paler color or lighter green than even those that were unfer- tilized; and those fertilized with ashes made for the most part some what better growth but did not bloom or mature any earlier than the nonfertilized rows.
 Neither the Sorghum nor the Peas were harvested for the reason that a breachy cow made raid on and damaged them about the time of their ripening so as to render |, futile any effort to ascertain what in the absence of such depreciation the yields of the several rows would have respectively been. This l very much regret as l es- pecially desired to learn all that is learnable regarding the fertiliza- ton of peas on account of the inn portance of the pea-crop itself while on account of sorghum being allied, botanically, with corn and the other cereals and not very dis similar from them chemically, had the experiment with it been suc- cessful 1t would have been, at least, of possible value in helping to solve how those crops can be more profi- tably produced than, at present, they generally are.

 The following table shows the rate of yield per acre in pounds, of each row of cotton. of peanuts and of sweet potatoe, as also the per cent of increase of each fertil- ized row over the average yield of the two rows which were not fer tilized.

INDIANS ON WAR PATH.
Apaches swear Horrible Vengeance
ON Murderous Zunis.

ON Mur0orOu0 Xun10.
Jerome, A. IT,, Aug. 29.-Jerome was
thrown into fever OF excitement yes
terday by the sudden appearance Of q
band Of Apaches in war paint. The
leaders OF the tribe stopped and pur-
chased large supply OF ammunition
and hastily left for Red Rock. The
band was composed exclusively of
bucks.

ISOLATED Press overlook the Indians a
few miles from Jerome and after con-
siderable persuasion was permitted to
accompany them on journey of twen-
ty miles over the toughest country
Imaginable. In Il canon with perpen-
dicular walls rising to a height of hun
dreds OF feet were the remains Of a
campfire and near by a wigwa1n. In
front of the wigwam was the body of a
squaw and a papoose, while few rods
in front lay buck. All three had been
horribly mutilated and scalped. Their
hands and feet were cut off. The In
dams formed circle about the bodies
and on the dismembered remains swore
to work awful vengeance.
The name OF Zuni occurred many
times. The bodies were buried near the
scene of the crime and the band took
the trail to the north.
The Zunis are New Mexico tribe.
while the Apaches are Of Arizona. Bit
ter enmity has existed for years be-
tween the tribes. but a truce has put
an end to hostilities for long time.
The three murdered Indians had left
the reservation near Camp Verde and
were surprised by a band of Zunis.
The Apaches took the trail in the di-
rection of New Mexico and the old set
tiers fear a furious outbreak will fol-
low and end in the determination of one
of the tribes. There are no soldiers
within reach and the settlers are not

pastor of the Baptist church of Shep-

Mrs. Clarke and Mr.. Smith arranged
that their wedding should take place In
this public way because they said that
they wanted all the world to know of
their great devotion to each other.
| While the minister was saying the

band and wife they stood looking abso-
lutely oblivious to all the gossiping and
giggling that was going on around
them. Young Clarke was in rage and
would have interrupted the wedding
but his mother had warned him before
hand and he did not Interfere.
Mrs. Clarke and her husband never
saw each other before last Monday
when they met at the fair. It was OBJ
served that they We're together nearly
all of the time after that and man,

the son of the old lady. Those who knew
both were astounded when on Thursday

knew the lady and young man refused
to believe it until they saw them in tn,
