GROWTH or THE TRADE IN THE CUT
FLOWERS AND THE DEVELOPMENT
OF NEW VARIETIES.

Both among tn, Sc who have had the good
fortune to buy quantities of floral offerings for
their friends in the holiday season just ended
and among the less fortunate majority, many
people have remarked on the enormous sale of
cut flowers ard plants which seemed to mark the
last Christmas Of the old century 1t is so COM

cociy of its babies. that ii is interesting to have
the assurance of "Amercan Gardening" that
the market in these luxures last Christmas Eve
really the largest on record 1t is safe to
estimate" says this authority, that in that one
day plants and cut flowers to the value of $780,
O0O were retailed in New-York City And this
estimate. it is to be noted, is exclusive of sales
of Christmas trees and all Christmas gIeenery,
with the addition of which the take in of the
York retail florists for that golden day
amounted little less than $l,0oo,o0o What
ever economists may think of this enormous ex-
penditure on fleeting luxuries. the phenomenon
is emnenty in keeping with the history of
New York. The florists trade, il now is,
came into existence here just before the nine
teenth century had passed the half way post of
its existence. Nowhere else in the world is the
per capita demand for cut roses larger than in
America. if it is anywhere else SO large: and
the focus of the American cut trade is New
York So lat III, luil1ing of George Thorburns

1918, may he regarded the beginning of this
golden age of the rose trade.

Concerning Babies.

Babies, and quite number OF
than, are prominent in the plot
of new comedy that will be seen
here shortly. The complications
and mistakes that 60 to make up
the story, and at the same time
keep the audience in roars Of
la lighter, arise from the difficulty
in answering the question, "Whose
Baby Are Your" by which title
the skit is known. The query re
mains unanswered during three
acts of HILARIOUS tangles which are
unravelled at the end in a most un-
expected way. MIR. Byron B.
Rice who presents this new laugh
maker, has secured cast of un-
usual excellence, including such
clever farce interpreters as Charles
w. Bowser and Ida Ward.

Joseph Newman and Company.


Joseph Newman, the Colorado
song writer, singer and humorest
and his clever company will ap-
pear at the La unta Theatre, Wed
nesday, October I'D. and the
entertainment will be most en-
Joyable one. oe Newman needs
no introduction to western audi
ences, for he long ago won his
way into their hearts, by reason of
his originality, his inimitable man
ner and his happy selections.
The company he has this year
includes Miss Carlota Bixler,
violinist; Miss Sada Talbot, elocu-
ZIONIST; Miss Bessi. Dade, con-
tralto; and Miss Rose Johnson,
pianist. Miss Bixler is a very tai
ented and sklllful violinist and her
playing is OF an unusually high
order. Miss Sada Talbot is
most pleasing and very popular
elocutlonist. In addition to nat
ural genius, she has all the artistic
grace and culture, which expert
ence alone affords. Miss Dade
has contralto voice OF remarkable
power and much sweetness. Miss
Johnson is pianist of exceptional
ability, combined with char .ling
personality. She is also an &C
companist OF rare talent and PLAYS
with ease, grace and good judg-
ment.
A very enjoyable feature of the
program will be the one act com
edy, "Molly g." which is smartly
written, and will keep an audience
laughing for twenty minutes.

dent Roosevelt as the worthy and
courageous successor OF a worthy
and courageous man who calmly
bid ''Good- bye TO all, good bye, "
and silently and peacefully passed
to his reward.
Second-We ask that congress
adopt drastic measures to at once
crush out the Shiny serpent OF an
aTchy whenever and wherever it
lifts it's venomous head within the
boundaries OF our nation. We de-
nounce the bilious pessimists who
tlnd apologies Tor the existence OF
this bloody monster under our free
American government, where the
humblest man of the nation can
become its chief executive, and
where honesty, perseverance and
steadtastness can bring only con-
tentment and happy homes. We
favor measures that will hang
every anarchist who takes, or at
tempts to take the lives OF our citi-
zens, and drive from within our
borders every one OF them who is
found guilty OF teaching or advo-
eating their so-called principles, in
any form what ever under the cloak
OF free speech and free thought in
criticising our government.
Third-We reatiirm our allie
glance TO the cardinal principles OF
the republican party, as set forth
in our national platform. We
congratulate the people upon
thriving Industries, made possible
only by republican administra-
ton, and which has brought pros
perity to our citizens and made
Otero county known throughout
the land as the garden spot OF the
earth, where wealth and success
await all who seek them through
channels OF legitimate Industries.
Fcurth-We heartily endorse
the course OF our worthy state SEN
ator, the Hon. NJ. Il. Farewell, in
the thirteenth general assembly.
In legislative body where, politi-
cally, he stood alone, we feel proud
Of the recognition accorded him
on numerous occasions by his col.
leagues, who appreciated his worth
and ability as far-seeing and
pa,nstaking legislator.
Fiftb-We denounce the action
OF Governor Orman in calling an
extra session OF the thirteenth gen
eral assembly, as being an unnec,
essary luxury to rectify the mis-
takes of fusion administration.
With honest and qualified officers
at the head Of our state govern
ment the people would have been
saved the enormous expense OF
this extra burden OF taxation.
When we behold the countless
blunders OF our incompetent state
officials, the corruption and scan
dal prevailing in our high courts
Of justice, making foul stencil in
the nostrils OF our people, we can
realize the sweet blessings fusion
has brought for those dear people,
through the political mountebanks,
who, without being iathered by
any political party, were simply
hatched to die, when the people
rise enmasse to demand that this
great commonwealth shall be re-
deemed from their dishonest
clutches.
Sixth-The wise and conserva-
tive course OF the republican party
of Otero county in always selecting
for its nominees good, clean and
capable candidates for its various
county Offices, has, in the last four
years, given to the people the
present staff OF able, honest and
efficient officials, whose courtesies
and obliging manners toward all
have truly made them sour public
servants" in every particular.

Chairman Steward, of the republi.
can county central committee, a

~ republicans met in Rocky Ford
last Saturday, and in convention
assembled named the ticket that
will be endorsed and elected on
Tuesday, November 5th, by ma
jority OF the voters oil Otero conn
ty. Every class was represented
bankers, stockmen,
pumkin rollers, merchants and
cantaloupe huskers. and the fact
that every candidate on the ticket
was nominated by acclamation,
without one word OF dissent,
is an evidence of the undnimity Of
feeling that prevailed.
The convention was called TO
order by Chairman Steward atII
O'Clock. After the reading OF the
call by Secretary Springer, c. l..
Seeley was nominated tor tempor-
AIRY chairman and elected by &C.
ciamation. Mr.. Seeley delivered
brief address in which he
thanked the convention for the
honor conferred, and spoke feel
ingly of the great sorrow now pre-
vailiug the world over because of
the death OF our martyred presi-
dent. MIR. Seeley scored the state
administration in unmeaSured
terms, also alluding to the great
record for economy made by our
present republican county officials,
and predicting the election of the
entire ticket in Otero county this
fall.
M. f. Springer, of Rocky Ford,
was elected temporary secretary,
after which Chairman Seeley APP
pointed the following committees:

The temporary organization was
perfected in just exactly fifteen
minutes, and a notion was then
made to adjourn until 1880 p. m.
In the afternoon the convention
was called to order promptly at
1890 O'Clock. The committee on
permanent organization recon-
mended that the temporary organ
ization be made permanent and
the recommendation was unani.
mously adopted. The committee
on credentials reported that there
were no contests, and only one
set of delegates certified TO from
each precinct. The list OF dele
gates read by Chairman Smith
was adopted as the official roster
of the convention. The report of
the committee on resolutions, as
read by Chairman Hofmire, was
as follows:
First-We, the republicans OF
Otero county, in convention as
solemnly bow our heads
in sadness and lament the death of
our beloved president. William
Mckinley. In loving remem-
brance shall the fair name of this
good and martyred American citi-
zen ever be engraven upon our
and handed down to
generations as the beloved patriot
and statesman whose devotion to
duty made him the peer of any of
his countrymen. While we mourn
and are grief stricken in our sad
affection. we will do as he would
have us do and, with heads erect,

uon, and Tor the space OF several
minutes there was pause. Final
ly q. II. Downer relieved the sus,
pense by placing IN nomination
L. a. Beerbohm, the present IN
cumbent. Mr.. Downer believed
IN the scrIptural injunction, Hold
last to that which is good" and as
he thought the republican party
had a good thing in the present
treasurer it would be the better
part OF wisdom TO hang on to c. A.
Beerbohm, and he therefore placed
that gentleman in nomination. A.
l.. Kellogg, OF Rocky Ford, said
that he not only believed in holy
writ, but would practice it's teach
lngs by heartily seconding the
nom,nation OF Mr.. Beerbohm.
There being no other candidate it
was moved and seconded that the
rules be suspended and that Mr..
Beerbohm be nominated by &C
clamation which was acceded to
without dissenting voice.
Nominations forsheritt being in
order, DR.. Frank Finney arose
and placed the name OF George
Barr before the convention, a man
OF strict integrity, absolutely fear
less, and in every way qualified for
the position. MIR. Barr was also
nominated by acclamation.
For the position OF county clerk
there were two candidates, II. d.
Garwood and II. F. Rushmer,
both Of Rocky Ford. Mr.. Gar
wood was nominated by A. l.. kel-
logg, and Mr.. Rushmer by George
Daring. Before Mr.. Rushmer's
nomination had been seconded
that gentleman advanced to the
chairman and requested that his
name be withdrawn. Mr.. Hof-
mire, in behalf OF the La Iunta
delegation, seconded the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Garwood, and that
gentleman was also nominated by
reclamation.
For county judge, w. X. Glib
son nominated M. F. Miller, Of
La Iunta; for assessor, A. l.. kel.
