About Our Bands.

The earlier demonstrations OF the cele-
bration OF Strawberry Day at Glenwood
were the arrival of the bands from
Grand Junction and Leadville, the for
mer being the Columbine band. COM
posed of young ladies, and the manner
in which they rendered the selections OF
music was marvel to all who listened
to their deli yhtful strains.
The Woodman band, also OF Grand
Junction. contributed in a very able
manner to the music OF the day.-Rocky
Mountain News.
The most unique and novel feature OF
the musical parade was the Columbine
band from Grand Junction, composed Of
twenty young ladies, chaperoned by four
of Grand Junction's matrons. The
playing Of the young ladies was 30 good
that Governor Thomas and Congress-
man Bell declined to speak, giving as
the reason that the band was entertain

The Proper Caper.

The Grand Junction Sentinel is urg-
ing Mesa county people to expand Peach
Gay large enough to include all branches
of industry making veritable county
fair.
The Sentinel is right, for Peach day
carries with it the idea that the peach is
the only farm product worth mention
ing, while Mesa count, 3 products are as
diversified and variable as any Of
the old agricultural counties OF the east.
A county fair at time when the
frost is on the pumpkin, and the corn is
in the shock" would be rare treat to
those who have been brought up to rev.
erence the old New Englrnd idea Of
village fair.
Colorado cities and towns have gone
daft after snake shows, potato days
watermelon days, straw berry days and
peach days until it is time to get back to
the good old fashioned pumpkin show
with its pigs and its chickens it's horses,
cattle, grain and fruits, where all the
products can meet on common ground
and vie with each other for the blue, red
and yellow ribbons.
The county fair has never yet been
improved upon and all these great world
expositions are only mystifying in multi
plicity Of exhibits and are not to be COM
pared with the country fair, where one
can get coherent idea OF the customs
of the people as we'll as OF the products
of the soil .-Ouray Plaindealer

patronage or DR. e 9. Eldridge, should
be patronized by everybody
The sole expense OF the contest is
borne by DR.. Eldridge and the receipts
will be given to some charitable organi-
nation. 1t is only ono of the ways DR..
Eldridge has OF expending his charity,
which comprehends each year con-
stantly growing burden OF love and pleas
ure to him.
1t is habit with DR.. Eldridge to
maiotain wiIe chasm between his per-
sonality and his Professional duties.
What contributes to the sum total of
his enjoyme 1T, which is largely in max
ing others happy, has nothing whatever
to do with him in his prof. ssion. The
charity of DR.. Eldridge in MT spas
IN ,dic b 1t perennial. Neither is it prac-
ticed for one year and then dropped for
several, it is constant. He may have
ideas of contributing this charity or ori-
ginatipR it. totally at variance with the
ideas and opinions of other people, but
no such charge that it is mercenary or
selfish has or ever will be lodged against
him for his efforts.
The Sentinel believes that it is as easy
for the public to contribute their mite to
local charity to attend the entertainment
this nisht in this way as in any
other. Every dollar will go toward
making some one less dependent, some
one happier, some one easier of life's bur-
dens and ills. There is not the sem
blance OF any profit to come to DR.. Ell
dri 'ge, as he bears all expense, gives all
the prizes aod receives nothing, except
the satisfaction Of having done some one
little thing which will help others.
A large crowd should greet the con-
testants tonight at the opera house.

State Fair May be Held Here.

In all probability the next state horti-
cultural fair will be held at Grand Junc-
ton. That enterprising metropolis Of
the western slope has agreed to pay all
the premiums and donate the money
which the state horticultural board has
heretofore had to raise bv popular sub
scription, and while majority of the
fruit growers, as we'll as the members,
favor Denver rs the most feasible point
in the state at which to hold the annual
exhibit, under the circumstances it is
probable that Grand Junction will be
chosen
The board is without cent OF money
and in way is very much an object OF
charity. The liberal offer OF the juno
tion appears more alluring under these
conditions than would ordinarily be the
case.
The principal objection offered is the
great distance the porthern growers
would have to ship their exhibits and
the added fact that they will have to be
brought back the entire distance, where
as when the exhibit is held in Denver
the market is here and after the display
is finished the fruit always finds ready
sale.
The northern growers are frank in say
ing that in taking their fruit to the west
ern sloye, they are not only carrying
Goals to Nsw Castle but that they would
not try to compete with that productive
region.
On the other hand, the instance is
cited that the fairs for number of years
have always been held in this section,
and that the western slope farmers have
always sent large qua ltities Of fruit here
without complaint and now feel that
they are OF titled to the annual show in
which they have taken such an active
part.
Secretary Osborne has written to the
membe OF the board and prominent
growers OF the state asking for an ex-
preston OF opinion on the Grand juno
ton offer.
He has also instituted inquiries with
the Ut ite railroads in an endeavor to get
transportation concessions in case the
offer is accepted. The fair this year
will very likely be held during the first
or second week in eptember.-Denver

Demands Protection.

Washingt n, June 17-It is said that
the operations OF the boxers are rolling
up heavy bill for damages against the

be made the subject of a strong demand
for indemnity by the United States al
soon as order is restored in China.
1t is held that uuder the terms of our
treaty with China. not only are Ameri-
can missionaries entitled to protection
from the Chinese government but even
their native converts.
The particular treaty provision cover
ing the cases OF American missionaries
and their native converts is unique. 1t
is contained in article 20 of the treaty OF
1868 as follows:
"The practice OF the Christian religion
as professed by the Protestant and Ro-
man Catholic churches, is recognized as
teaching them to do good and to d to
others as they would they should do unto
them. Hereafter those who quietly pro-
fess and teach these doctrins shall not
be harassed or prosecuted on account OF
their faith. Any person, whether citizen
OF the United States or Chinese convert
who, according to the tenets, peaceably
teaches and practices the principles OF
Christianity, shall in no case be molested
or intsrfered with"
