TEARING OLD TIME.
Sixty-Three Choppers Take Pals
ades by Storm. Dedication
of Woodmen Hall.

1t was ten minutes to the hour OF four
o'clock when the delegation OF Woodmen
from this city and Fruita arrived home
this morning, from their visit to Palisade
last night, to assist the local camp at
that place dedicate their new hall
There we're sixty three Woodmen in
delegation and seldom has livlier body
OF men left this city on mission of
pleasure than went to the city up the
river last night.
PalIsade was taken by storm as soon
as the arrival of the Rio Grande train
all the principal places OF business and
finally landed at the place of dedication.
The new hall was packed with as
sembled Woodmsn of the local camp OF
Palisade with their wives and friends
and when tho Grand Junctionites and
Fruitaites arrived there was nothing but
standing room left and that was at a
premium.
Before the banquet proper, which was
given under the auspices OF the Women
OF Woodcraft OF Palisade, the lodge
meeting was turned over to the officers
OF Book Cliff camp and the working
team, and lone candidate was brave
enough to come forward and be initial
eds They say that never was such an
initiation given to a Woodman at Palis-
ado. He was given a run for his money
which will ever make him hold the in-
itiatory services OF the Woodmen in the
greatest regard. Following the initia-
ton, R. II. Bancroft Of the local camp
delivered an address of welcome to the
visiting brethren and the followed a
feast royal, which put the Grand
Junction and Fruita Woodmen quite IN
love with the Palisade people as enter
tainers
The train on which the delegation ex-
pected to return was two hours late, 30
that abundant time was given for en-
joyment and il those who were with the
party are to be believed they had it.
Neighbors Slocomb, Rich and Criss-
man and a few others are talking in
whispers today so that something must
have been done beside quietly sitting by
and looking on the work.

The Play Last Nigh|.

To many the producrion, The Round
ers, by the Seabrooke opera company
last night at the Park opera house was
not up to the stan lard anticipated fro m
the copious press notices or for some
cause or another.
The company was smaller than an
nounced and the acting and singing was
not any better or for that part any worse
than many OF the vaudeville shows that
have como to this city with much less
spectacular announcements.
The redeemiug feature OF the play was
the acting of WHO. Vaudeville. Mandi-
vile is au ola timer and many years ago
played with better agrigations than the
Ssabrooke people.
The show was not bad by any manner
of means, yet it was not what the ap-
petites Of the people whetted by much
talk ard the reputation OF Seabrooke,
gave them right to anticipate.
The chorus singing was fairly good,
but there we're only two or three good
voices. All the women we're hardly any
better than can be seen at the very
commoneet vaudeville performances in
the large cities, having good regulations.
There was some wit, while much o: it
was far fetched.

Sousa's Band.

To the thousands OF Americans who
wore in Europe last summer the pres
ence there Of Sousa and his band was
somewhat in the nature Of blessing.
Sousa being 80 thoroughly national
character every American traveller re-
garded him in the light OF personal
friend. Their pride in the American
band and the American conductor was
justified by the great success achieved
by Sousa, and their enthusiasm mover
failed to communicate itself to the other
auditors. Mr.. Sousa has surprised Ger
many with the artistic success OF his
concerts. This has been earned, not only
by his personality, but by the industry
Of his musicians who have been brought
to an artistic perfection which is to be
found no other existing band.
That Sousa is equally we'll appreciated
in his own country is certain to be
evincsd when he brings his great band
to the Park opera house on Thursday

King Edwards Message.

London, Feb 4-The king has sent the
following message to all the Boer colo
MES and dependencies:
ITO my people beyond the seas:
THE countless messages of loyal SYM
pathy that have received from every
part TO my dominions over the seas tes-
tify to the universal grief in which the
whole empire now morns the loss OF my
beloved mother.
"In the welfare and Prosperity Of her
subjects throughout Great Britain, the
queen ever evinced heartfelt interest.
She saw with thankfulness the steady
progress, whish under the wide extension
of self f-government, they had made under
her reign. She warmly appreciated
their unfailing loyalty to her throne and
person and was proud to think of those
who had 30 noby fought and died for
the empires cause in South Africa.
II have already declared that it will be
my constant endesvor to follow the great
example which has been bequeathed me-
In these endeavors l shall have constant
trust in the devotion and sympathy Of
the people and OF their several represent
ative assemblies throughout my colonial
dominions. With such loyal support, l
will, with the help OF God, solemnly
work for the promotion Of the common
welfare and security OF our great empire.

TERRIBLE
Is the Price Britain Is Paying In
The Subiusation Of the Beers
.--Burghers' Loss Small.

New York, Feb. 4-Chas. D. Pierce,
consul general OF the Orange Free State
and trustee and treasurer of the Boer re-
lief fund, has given out statement Of
conditions in South Africa. The state
ment is, in part, as follows:
"The pretended peace commissioners
sent to Dewet by the British were spies
and traitors. They interfered with the
Burghers. One, an Englishman, was
promptly shot, and it ia known that one
other, Andreas Vessels, was Burgher
OF the Orange Free State and subject to
the laws Of the republic, in which Presi-
dent Steyn is regarded by the fighting
Burghers as chief executive, while British
sovereignty is not recognized by them.
President Steyn is with Dewet, and there
is little doubt that these Burghers were
tried under the laws OF the Orange Free
State and properly executed.
"The Boer forces in the South African
Republic and the Orange Free State, in
cluding the invaders of Cape Colony,
number over 250OO men.
"They have so far succeeded in obtain
ing, by capture, large portion OF their
supplies from the British. General
Christian Dewet, that greatest cavalry
leader of modern times, in one week has
captured $925.OO0 in gold and 10000
khaki uniforms-enOugh to last the army
four years. He has also captured 100000
horses and 5000 prisoners. He and his
forces alone have inflicted on the British
losses amounting to over $25,OOO0OO.
The Beers are very mobile and have ad-
vanced to within two days march, or 1UO
miles, of Capetown.
"The Beers total losses in killed and
dying from wounds in battle have not ex-
ceeded 1900.
1.-THE war has up to this time cost
Great Britain ssOO,OOO,0OO in gold-a
sum twice greater than the entire value
OF the republics il sold to the highest
bidder-and over 100000 of her troops
| have been rendered hors da combAt.
During the past one or two months the
British have been compelled to act wholly
on the defensive. The war is costing
Great Britain $1,OOOOOO day to keep
the troops in the field and the prisoners
at St. Helena and other points.
"The failure OF the British arms to
open the Kimberly and Johannesburg
mines has deprived the stockholders Of
dividends on securities listed at $780,
100000, has reduced the output OF
diamonds and gold 1884 100000 and has
added $S00,OOO.0OO to the taxa ton Of
Great Britain and Ireland.'

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 3.-The great
est snow storm OF the season visited here
last night and this morning. The storm
was general over Missouri and Kansas
varying in depth from three to fourteen
inches. A strong wind followed the
fall of snow and in places the snow
drfted badly. No serious interference
with railway traffic has been reported
except on the central branch OF the
Missouri Pacific. Passenger trains as a
rule are running on schedule time and
none is an hour behind time here. There
is some suffering among unsheltered
cattle in western Kansas, but the tenn
perature is not low enough to cause any
serious losses. In some of the smaller
towns where facilities for sweeping the
tracks are not good the street cars are
tied up. The snow will be beneficial to
wheat. The winter has been mild, but
the ground was dry aud needed moist
ure. To night the sky is clear and the
indications are that the storm is over.
