Roe. E. Blake, theatrical man

that there was no reason for the
man to jump, and all the others

Snake Story.

Geo. A. Kilgore came in fro m
his suburban residence last Sunday
morning, bright and early, and re-
lated snake story that startled
the natives. No reptiles were visi
bic in his boots, but he declared
that he had found monster in his
rabbit pen that morning, measur
ing seven feet six inches in length
and as large around as mans
thigh. The snake appeared to be
quite tam., and made no effort to
resist when his executioner pre-
pared to end his earthly career.
Mr.. Kilgore hung the snake up on
a telegraph pole in front of his
residence for public inspection,
and as an evidence of the fact that
he was not a descendant of An
anias. The monster was turned
over 10 Prof. E. E. Cole, who will
have the reptile stuffed and placed
in the archives OF our public
schools.
The snake probably escaped
from Campbell Bros. CIRCUS, which
visited this city August 5th. They
made a long jump coming to La
Iunta, travelling over 1000 miles
without = stop, from Pocatello,
Idaho, to La Junta. When they
opened their snake box in this
city, they found that several OF
them had passed in their checks.
and the dead reptiles were dumped
on the open prairie south of town.
One OF them probably came to life
after the show left, and since
August 5th has probably been get

Frank P. Mcclure, of the La
Junta Theatre, received a letter
yesterday morning from the Hal
lack & Howard Lumber Co., Deh-
yer, Colo, to the effect that his
"order for mill work is delayed on
account Of strike of our mill hands.
The sash are all made but the
doors are not. We presume you
have learned from the papers that
the strike effects all the mills in
the city and that it IS uncertain
when same will end. We trust to
be able to resume operations very
soon and will complete your order
within a short time after we get to
running again"
Mr.. Mcclure says that he will
make an effort to secure material
elsewhere, and may cancel tire
Denver order. Work on the opera
house is progressing rapidly. The
floors have been put in, and force
of artists is now at work decorat-
ing the interior. Construction has
progressed far enough to secure
an excellent idea of the general

Sheriff Barr vii, "she~ veu..

A Missourian, who spells it
"Mizzouri," sent a summons for
service to Sheriff Barr one day last
week. This particular Mizzourian
is clerk of the district court, notary
public and also complainant in the
case. The summons was signed
by the complainant after which he
appeared before himself in the
capacity of notary public and swore
that all the allegations contained
in the summons were true to the
best OF his knowledge and belief.
That may be the way they do
things in "Mizzouri," but 1t don't
go here.
There is, however, a we'll authen-
ticated case, somewhat similar,
which happened years ago in
Rocky Ford. A justice of the
peace OF that burg, who was desir-
Gus Of taking an oath, solemnly
held up his right hand, and while
gazing at his reflection in a tub OF
water, subscribed and swore him
self to an affidavit. That was in
early days in Rocky Ford. They
have improved some since then.

Narrow Escape.

Earl Hurst I5-year old lad
who formerly resided here, came
near losing his life at the depot
Monday. He now lives at La Junta,
and together with two compan-
ions ran away from home. They
got this far by hitting the blind
baggage and other methods, and
then stopped off to see the sights.
The Hurst boy attempted to get
on a passing freight train and had
one foot on the ladder on the side
OF the Car when he was struck by
the mail crane and was hurled un-
der the train. His head struck the
rail, but he managed to get out of
the way OF the wheels, and was al
most Immediately struck by the
brake beam, and in some miracul-
US manner was thrown from under
the train to the side OF the road.
The boy was only slightly hurt.
The train was stopped and the boy
was required to sign statement
that he was hurt through his own
carelessness. The other boys were
sent back home.-Garden City

A GOOD PROPOSITION.

The proposed increase in the member
ship OF the State Department OF cleo
lions, having charge of the elections i'll
this city and county, is good one.
fhe department as now constituted is
one of those Democratic non-partisan ~
departments, given to this city for Demo-
cratic election purposes, Of which 1t has
had quite enough. The original design
of this department, as we have said, was
20 make it non-partisan, but if that de-
sign was not lost in the shuttle we do
not know what became of it. There are
only three members in the department,
nut if we are not fearfully wrong in our
Judgment it is much more than two
thirds Democratic-the non-partisan fea-
ture Of it being very small. Then We
think we have good grounds to doubt
the efficiency of the department. The
difficulty in the election last fall, when
voters lost their votes, could have beer
1bviated had the department been capa
hle of good decision and prompt action
ne fact that the difficulty at the poll'
was in the interest of the political part.
Uf majority of the members of tn
department, instead of squirting then
10 prompt and effective action, appear
to have paralyzed it, and to have allowed
disorder and what seems to have beel
intended fraud, to succeed in retardin,
he progress of the election and robbin,
men Of their votes. Some change an,
amendment in the department ought t
,se made TO prevent the recurranc of sucl
in outrage. The Legislature is the onl
authority in the case.

THEY DON'T LIKE 1T.

The reported Democratic pique over
he passage in the House. at Dover, Of
he bill proposing an increase Of the
membership OF the Levy Court, is to say
lie least amusing. There are still good
many Republicans alive who remember,
lnd Democrats too. if their memories
ire not impaired. who remember when
lfter the Republicans had won the Levy
Court in this county in 1890, that a
Democratic Legislature repealed the act
establishing the Levy Court, legislated
mt of office the Republicans who had
been elected. and the officers the Court
had appointed, and made an entirely
lew and Democratic court. The Demo
rats in the Legislature thought that good
State service then, also good politics.
Why is it not good State service and
,ood politics now? We are not in the
habit of advocating political reprisals,
;houll vince under the kind of treatment
they gave Republicans when they, the
Democrats, We're in power. The Demo-
ratio change was made for politics, and
doubtless that is reason enough why
what they did should be undone. There
are occasional cases when doctors should

who came in as the leader and promoter
of faction and defeat as cure for party
ills--an equal share in the honors won
by its victories. If the minority will
name him as their candidate in the pro-
posed equal division of candidates, the
Union Republicans are ready to vote for
Senator Higgins. His friends, IL
they are sincere in saying that they want
him to return to the Senate, can have
no excuse. The friends Of Colonel du
Pont, who has refused to be candidate
with Mr.. Addicks, can have no excuse.
The friends of any other candidate, who
can control the minority nomination on
the basis of fair division, can have no
excuse-the Union Republicans are
ready to vote for any of them, and send
them to the most honorable position in
national legislation councils.
If this opposition to Mr.. Addicks can
not agree on candidate to send to the
Senate as his colleague, there can be nc
excuse for their refusal to caucus with the
majority for the selection Of such a can
didate: and no excuse for refusing tt
support candidates selected in that way
There can be no possible excuse fol
the factionists who refuse to vote fol
Mr Addicks and thus defeat the elec
ton of United States Senators from thi

A BIT or CHEER.

Perchance you feel like signing. dear.
Just check the sigh and smile;
And cheer some wayworn wanderer
Ger many weary mile.
q kindly word a loving smile,
Great blessings doth bestow;
me power have they to charm away,
heavy load of woe.
Alas! the many aching hearts,
Along the circling years,
Though there be dearth of all things else
Is never dearth of tears.
Then put aside thy griefs, dear heart,
Nor grudge a smile 10 dole;
Twill cheer thine own sad lot, and bless
As well thy neighbor's soul.
For there was one whose spirit oft
Was wrapped, methinks, in gloom.
Before Him rose dark Calvary's cross,
The agony of the tomb.
And still He ever strove to cheer
The wayworn pilgrim Lone
Jesus! Imperial Prince of Peace,
From Heavens eternal throne!
'Tis not the costly gift bestowed
That cheers the aching heart,
It Is the kindly sympathy,
1t Is loves magic art.
And blessed shall thy memory be,
Though naught thou hast to give
But kindly words and loving smiles;
And 10! thy soul shall live.

They are interested, too, perhaps not SO

AS the Republican party controls natioii.,i
affairs or otherwise. In the pending

such violation of what is the funda-

counsel. If it proves casting pearls be-
fore the swine, that is not our fault.
What the spirit moves us to say, will be
said, and if our remarks do not suit our
friend of the Wilmington Morning News,
we cannot help it.
Mr.. Addicks' success or failure in this
fight is not to us a matter of personal
concern. We feel kindly toward him,
as we do toward anyone who has in
jected into what was hopelessly Dem
ocratic stronghold, the vigor and the
determination that has brought it into
the Republican fold. Personally, We do
not know him. We have never, in any
manner, conyersed with nor exchanged
correspondence with him regarding this
contest. We have never been asked by
him or by his friends to aid him in his
| fight And if our frequent illusions to
the matter our oft-proffered advice to
the foolish men who stand in the way
of fair adjustment, has been OF service
to Mr.. Addicks, as we infer from the
ill-natured fling of our contemporary
then Mr. Addicks has for once received
substantial help that did not cost him

and electing one of the Senators to be
elected accorded 1t, goes jumping around
with no apparent purpose except to avoid
doing what as part of the State As
sembly, it was elected to do.
We seriously suggest that the situation
is ludicrous. There is nothing reason
able in the suggestion that comes from
the situation-that part of the members
were chosen to elect United States SEN
ators, and another part to prevent their
election, yet that is the unavoidable in
ference. The majority which has chosen
a candidate according to the usual meth
DDS of procedure,in such cases, that has
invited the minority to join it with every
assurance of fair, just and even generous
treatment, and is now supporting that
candidate manfully and loyaly, are
showing that they are trying to elect
senators. The minority, by manifesting
no agreement among themselves upon
possible achievements, go jumping about
as il afraid of being caught somewhere
and compelled to elect Senators when,
and whom they don't want.
The result Of this policy, il it contin-
ues, can be only disastrous. There can
De no good come to the party from
minority bolting and majority defeat. 1t
has been tried in this State and has
lproduced no good results. The time
wasted has been precious; the opportu'
mites lost can never be regained; the
waste and loss of Republicans all accrues
TO Democratic benefit. The evils Of
Democratic control are too great to bt
endured i'll SO short life--and we know
lall about theIn-if they can be avoided
