A very peculiar, to say the least. mile
age ticket scheme is being pushed through
out the Central Passenger territory by a
very smooth gentleman. The plan is to
organize an association of ioobers and
manufacturers, with a view to securing
mileage tickets without the $40 rebate
feature. The man who is operating the al
legged association promises that his as
ISOLATION would give its members a two
cent-per-mile rate, without going through
the form of putting up $40 guarantee that
the mileage ticket contract would be kept.
OF course he could not do all of this with
out funds incidentally, he required those
who desired to join the association to put
up from $40 to SIS membership. Here is
where the interesting part of the negotia-
tons comes in. Railway officials say they
never have heard of such an association
in an official capacity. They have frequent
ly had inquiries from those who have paid
to become members of the association.
Further than this, railway officials state
that the proposition is one that the rail-
roads could not afford to entertain

Consideration for Democrats.

Governor Thomas on Wednes-
day refused application for the
extradition of Eldorus Fancher,
an Illinois democrat, who is
charged with assault to kill. Fan
cher, it is charged, became en-
tangled in political fight which
resulted in a general brawl. Gov
enor Thomas refused to honor
Governor Tanners's request because
he believed the charge was based
on political considerations. Fan
cher was arrested at Rocky Ford
about month ago, and was con-
fined in the county Jail until re-
Gently. Sheriff Barr released
him for the reason that the Illinois
officers showed no disposition to
take charge of the prisoner. Fan
cher is in Rocky Ford at present.

Tsin and the great wall OF China
were briefly mentioned. The death
and burial OF a Chinese woman
who lived next door to his son in
Pekin attracted considerable at
tention and caused them some an
noyance. In order to leave China
he and his wife we're obliged to
come out on an armoured train, to
witness the bombardment OF forts
at Taku, and to undergo great
anxiety and suspense, OF which he
said very little.
DIR. Coltman talked more than
one hour in a conversational style,
and later some were heard to say,
"We wish he had spoken one
hour longer"
Many compliments were given to
the orchestra under the charge OF
N. S. Larsen, although La unta
audiences are very Careful not 10

class music Miss Palmer, pianiste,
and Miss Peale, soloist, were much
appreciated. The Presbyterian Aid

School Enrolment.

The total enrolment of tie pub
lie schools of La unta for the
present year is sos, an increase
over last year OF I1S. The total
enrolment in 1899, was 69o; in
1898, 693; in 1897, Cog. All of
the school rooms are crowded, and
the Lewis building on Colorado
avenue has been leased for the
year to accommodate one of the
grades. 1t is only question OF a
very short time until La Junta will
have to have another school house
to accommodate its rapidly growing
population. 1t was only a few
short years ago when a great hue
and cry was made by some of our
citizens concerning the advisabili-
ty of erecting the Columbian
school building. 1t was claimed
by great many that the town
would not reach in years the pro-
portions justifying the erection Of
such building. II there were any
Missourians among them we hope
they are satisfied.

Rev. coitm.n's Lecture.

A large audience greeted Dr.
Coltman last Tuesday night at the
opera house, when he gave a de-
scription of his late voyage across
the Pacific and mentioned some
interesting facts concerning for
eign lands. He paid a high COM
pliment to the captain and crew Of
of the steamer Coptic on which he
sailed. Everything was scrup-
lousy clean, the food abundant
and varied, and the comfort of the
passengers was well looked after
even to furnishing amusing games.
Our new possessions in the Ha-
waiian Islands, came in for a
share of praise, especially Homo
lulu, where he found street cars,
electric lights and many American
luxuries. One elegant residence
was visited where every kind OF
tree known to that region was
found growing in the spacious
grounds, and the Doctor thought
it the most beautiful place this
side of heaven.
A short stay in Japan gave him
a glimpse of those fine little keo-
pie and a chance to attend a un-
ion service in Christian church
of Yokahoma, built by money sent
from Houolulu and standing on
the exact ground where Commo-
dore Perry made the famous treaty
of I84o between the United States
and China. Toxic he considered
the most beautiful city he had
ever visited, abounding in hand
some buildings Of stone and wood,
old temples, and side walks Of
brick on which the clatter oi
