Correction in
Local HistoIy

| j. B. KINa,-Dear Sir:--I
notice in your last issue that
Hugh Rundell, formerly of Ebert
county, got married in Denver.
You also state that be was the
first white child born in Ebert
county. In this last assertion
you made a great mistake, as
there were enough children born
in what is now Elbert county to
make a good sized school before
Hugh's parents ever came here.
If you ask Mrs. L. E. Baldwin
she can give you more particulars.
l think Mr.. John H. Jones had
several children born here before,
also Joseph Oaks, Geo. Aux, and
l know my two Oldest could walk
at that time. If you think this
of enough Importance you may
publish it.
Yours Respectfully,
GEO. FABRION.

Preferred Prison
That he might
Get an Education

The Denver Republican a few
days ago printed the picture OF
Eddie Sitzman, who with his
parents formerly lived near Fon.
dis, and the following account OF
his arrest for incorrigibility and hi.
statement that he preferred to &c
to the reform school that he might
get an education:
"Eddie Sitzman, 16 years old,
who is in the county Jail on the
charge of truancy, is by seeming
contradiction, anxious to be sen.
fenced to the state reform school
in order that he may get an edu-
cation. A month ago be was ar
rested on the charge of incorrigi-
bility and Deputy District At
torney Abbott has just filed an
information against him charging
truancy. The trial will be held
tomorrow. The boy tells story
which leads some of the county
officials to think that he has been
burdened with work beyond his
years and had hod no opportunity
to attend school. He says he was
born in Denver, and lived here
until his parents moved to Ebert
county. There they separated
and went away, leaving hun and
his brother to shift for themselves.
The brother has been adopted by
a family in Salt Lake City. Ed
die, who looks not more than -
years old, says that he got job
hauling hay on a ranch near
Brighton. The work was beyond
his strength and he found lighter
employment near the City park.
Finally he was taken ill with
pneumonia.
"Then they took me to the
county hospital" he said, Sand
now l am here in the county Jail on
the accusation Of being an incor-
rigible. l don't know whether
my folks are alive or dead and l
never had much chance to 60 to
school. But 1 hope the judge
will send me to the state reform
school, as l can get an education
there"
The following day when the
case wal. called in court MIR. Sitz-
man, who now resides in small
town near Denver, showed up and
on his solemn promise to provide
for the boy and send him to school
was allowed by the judge to take
him away. The case is of general
interest to the people of this coun-
ty, for the Sitzmans are well
known, having lived near Fondis
several years.

We Are Thankful

After having enjoyed an outing
that was universally conceded te
be beyond comparison with any
previous similar experiences, the
members of the Arkansas Valley
Press association exc ursior

ming on board their car formulated
and agreed to publish the follow.
ing expression of feeling:
"After most profitable visit
to our sister state of Texas, The
members Of the Arkansas Valley
Press association Of Colorado, now
that they are returning to their
respective homes, feel that some
slight acknowledgment should
be made to those who have as
sisted in making their outing a
Couil'ictc 5uCCosS.
"First and foremost we are in
debted to the officials o. the rail-
way lines over which the party
has passed, including 7. E. Fish

at Fort Worth of the Fort Worth

"Nothing that could be done
looking TO the comfort OF the
party was left undone by these
and their subordinates, and we
each of US feel that no small share
of the wonderful progress that the
Lone Star state is now making
is due to its systems of railways
grid-ironing the state and drawing
mountain and gulf stream and the

other, even as the hearts Of those
of the northland and southland
draw together as the years go by.

seThe ladies and gentlemen Of

that we were indeed superlatively
welcome.
'sThe visit has been an educa-

generally occurs as an epidemic.
1t is characterized by a catarrhal
inflammation of the respiratory
organs and sometimes of the di-
gestive. II is now believed to
be caused by vegetable germ,
which 10 not influenced by climate.
This is very doubtful.
Symptoms:-It usually COM
mences with a well-worked chill,
followed by fever, quickened
pulse, furred tongue, sometimes
nausea and vomiting, and we have
the symptoms of "cold" though
in more severe form. There
is cough, at first dry, but soon
becoming loose, accompanied by
a slight difficulty 10 breathing and
more or less soreness of the chest
and throat. There is pain in this
back and limbs, sometimes in the
side. The bowels are usually
constipated and the urine scanty
and high colored. 1t is liable to
be complicated with pneumonia
or bronchitis, when it sometimes
becomes an exceedingly dangerous
affair, especially in the very young
and the old and feeble. Relapses
are common.
Treatment:-This should COM
mence by the administration of the
proper fever drops, that is if the
pulse is full and strong, and the
stomach not irritated give Verat-
rum and it there is flushed face
and bright eyes, the pupils too
small, add Gelseminum; or if the
pulse is not SO full or the stomach
irritated give Aconite and add
Gelseminum; or if the patient is
sleeping too much, sleeping with
the eyes partly open, the pupils
being too large, add Bsllad onna.
In addition to the foregoing,
where the skin is hot and dry, give
| 8 grains Of Antifibrin every six
hours until the skin becomes moist.
See that the patient has as much
as ono action day from the
bowels. For this purpose give
salts or oil. If the urine is scanty
| give 10 grains acetate of potash in
water until il produces the desired
effect, then give it Just often
enough to continue its affect.
Where there is severe pain in side
apply a cloth wet with the white
Imminent to tho painful region.
The following will be found as
good as anything else for The
cough:
Syrup wild cherry 3 to 4 ounces,
Muriate Ammonia 8 to 5 drachm'
mix and give teaspoonful every
four hours. Where the case ii
complicated with pneumonia Oh
bronchitis treat it as such. Wber
, an attack is followed by neuralgli

: that malady should be adopted. Il
q will be beneficial to give . or

EASTER.
A Christian Feast OF Hope.

Easter, at once the most joyous
and impressive of Christian festi-.
walls, gets its name from Osterr, a
goddess, deity Of spring and OF
flowers. The ancient Teutons and
Scandinavians celebrated in Easter
the advent of spring, which to them
was. as a matter of course, a time
for popular rejoicing after the
hardships and terrors Of long and
rigorous winter. The Saxon glori-
fed the day as the forerunner of
summer with its fat crops, its out
door life and it's opportunities for
communion with nature.
The bold and intrepid missiona-
ries who christianized the heather
nations of the north deemed it wise
to adapt old and treasured beliefs
and ceremOnials to the nObler reli-
gion, and thus Easter was put to
new and better uses. Scriptural
brightness was made to succeed
darkness, sorrow was supplanted
by joy.
Easter has always been gentle
festival and has ever had soften
ing effect on mankind. 1t is day
of good fellowship and of kindly
one brotherhood.
70 the Christian the day comes
as a CLEAN of sunshine comes to ma
ture after dreary days of darkness
and storm, because the resurrection
is the great proof of the divinity of
Christ and the open tomb must
for all time be the evidence of the
truth which the Saviour preached
to men that man is saved through
the sactificn of a God made man.
Easter briggs to us the pleasant
hope of resurrection, to believe in
Christ, to hope in Christ, to love in
Christ, to possess Christ.
Easter brings us the risen Sa-
Viour, our hope, our joy. We must
i've with Christ in the grace of His
redemption, if we would rise with
Christ in the joy of his resurrec- |
ion.
