SiXty-two patrons of the Central

an appreciative teacher, thus:

mont county. Colo:
We, the undersigned. patrons of
room 4, Central school building,
and taxpayers, do cheerfully rec
ommend the teacher of said room,
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Warner, to your CON
sideration, and that as she has
proven herself to be successful
teacher, we would also recommend
that she be retained to teach in
our schools during the coming
year, and as Mrs. Warner is n res
ident of Florence, and a taxpayer,
and holds some of the best creden-
tials as n teacher, we make this re-
quest, and believe it is money well
spent by employing her during the
coming school-year: and that Mrs.
Warner makes school teaching a
business, and our interest in the
advancement of our children us
students, her interest. and leaves
nothing undone which will instill
new thought into the minds of her
school, and our children, and with
these suggestions we sincerely de-
sire that Mrs Warner shall meet
with very favorable considera-
ton in her application to become
one of our teachers the coming
year, Submitted respectfully:

JUST A SUGGESTION.

The meeting of the q. A. Il. at
Denver today in its state encamp-
ment is great day for the boys in
blue. They will recount incidents
of the war. fight the. battles over
and sing together the old songs
that helped inspire them to brave
deeds in the conflicts in which
they were engaged. Ever. since
the day was chosen for publicly
doing honor to the soldier dead, it
has been the custom to form lines
of the survivors of the civil war to
march through the. streets. bear
ing as of old, the banner of their
country. At these times it has al
so been the custom for the dirni-
taries of civil life to be given a
comfortable position where they
could review the column of blue
as it moved past that point.
In these days, however. the
question arises whether it would
not be more appropriate to reverse
this order of things. The boys of
'6l who are alive today are not the
strong, sinewy young men they
were when they took up arms for
the preservation of the union.
Many of them bear on their
bodies the marks of battle as well
rs the signs of old age. Many of
them are tottering feebly along
the last mile of their journey, and
yearly the ranks of the Grand
Army of the Republic are thin
ming out. While it is true that
some who fought through the
civil war are still hale and strong,
yet the majority of the old soldiers
have reached that age where it is
time to rest.
1t has been suggested that on
special occasions where long lines
of march are formed, the old SOL

Fruit Trees Suffer.

The following is an extract from
the Weekly Crop Bulletin issued
yesterday by the Colorado section
of the department of agriculture: /:
Work has progressed rapidly,
but high winds and cool nights
have rendered the soil too dry for
termination of seeds. as well as
rctarding growth of grain and
grasses. The drying winds which
followed precipitation of the 2Sth
aud 10Th minimized or practically
annulled its value. Except in the
parks and the northwestern sec
ton wheat seeding is about finish
ed and other small grain is nearly
all sown. Good acreage is being
prepared for corn and potatoes,
but rain is needed before planting
begins. The effect of the excep-
tionally cold winter on fruit trees,
especially cherry and apple, be-
comes more apparent as the season
advances, and the damages will
prove much more serious than
anticipated. The frost of April
Goth killed one-half or two-thirds
of the peach blooms in the Arkan-
sas valley and the western part of
Garfield county, and caused ser
ious damage in other section
where the buds were far enough
advanced. Alfalfa fields are be-
ginning to show effects of the Sc

The gentleman who manages
the United States assay office at
Helena, Mont, does not propose
that the mineral light of that state
shall be hid by the bushel of pes
simism or modesty. BY computing
the silver produced in Montana
last year at S1.29 per ounce-the
mint value-he reached mineral
output of S5l3l9,067, which out
strips Colorado. Nine-tenths of
papers will not notice the value
thus given to silver, aud the i'm
preston will be created that Mon
tano leads. The proper total for
Montano's silver, at IS cents per
ounce-the 1898 avera ,e-is S.
594 .S23, which reduces that states
mineral output to $40, 754, ,40l, as
compared with S4S, 1885, ,924 in Col
orado, of which $26,S16,S35 was in
gold,-Denver News.

THE FREE LIST.
FUNSTON'S PROMOTION.

The honor conferred upon Colo
mel Fred Fuuston, of Kansas, by
promotion TO the rank of brigadier
general is nothing more than such
bravery as his should merit. A
man who is personally acquainted
with the gallant officer said yes
terday: "Fnnston is a man who
could build a world" Much is
implied in this statement. He is
man who breaks down apparent
ly immovable barriers. Appar-
emily unsurmountable obstacles
are overcome unheeded. He knows
not fear. He is brave as lion.
yet not reckless in his daring. He
possesses marked executive abil-
ity, and exercises control of men
to great advantage
1t is matter then of congratu-
lation for the American people
that our government does not
overlook these superior character
istics of its servants in military
affairs.
Funston has shown himself
true man, brave officer and
most loyal citizen, and his promo
tion at this time is hailed with de-
light by the many who are filed
with admiration for the Kansas
hero.

Play actors were installed opposite the

the other side of the square. What n

At each corner of the street many col

front of them groups of people gath

the coming evening. The streets, which,
as a rule, were deserted at 8 o'clock,
were thronged until after midnight.
From end to end of the little town the
merits of the respective players were
talked of.
A roll of drums was heard beneath
the window, and M. Lamier sprang to

keeper, was heard distinctly calling
aloud in the same tone as the worthy
man ordinarily invited the citizens to

dogs

New York. Oct. 25.-An informal

yesterday in the rooms of the Trans
portation Club in Manhattan hotel. A
number of railway and steamboat
transportation officers were present
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew. presi-
dent of the club. received the guest
The senator, in his address. said:
1t is the sporting spirit in its best
sense that carries England's flag and
the spirit of England over the world
and it is the sporting spirit in its best
sense that carries our flag to the other
side of the world. The same feeling
that stirred us when we received the
news of the battle of San Juan stirred
us two or three days ago when we re-
ceived the news of the fighting in the
Transvaal."
In reply Sir Thomas said he was
deeply moved by the sincere greeting
extended him. He said he was pre-
pared to make another challenge when
Fife regained his health, so that he
could discuss the matter with him.
