OF Great Interest to stockmen.

The annual meeting of the Bent
County Cattle and Horse Grow
ers' ASSOCIATION will be held this
year at Las Animas on April 5th.
Every member and every stock
man should attend this meeting
! as it will be one of more tn an
usual Importance
Mr.. j. j Cahill, manager of the
new packing plant at Denver, will
be present to explain the benefits
their plant will be to the western
stockman. Also to give practic-
al talk on feeding cattle, hogs, and
sheep for Denver market. This is
something that will be interesting
ard useful to the feeders in our
valley which certainly will be one
OF the best feeding places on earth
in few years.
L. T. johnson, secretary of the
State Cattle association will also
address the meeting.
One matter of great Importance
to the shippers from this valley
west, is 10 load on some other
train than the local freight. Holly
shippers now suffer most of all.
This applies TO the farmer who
ships his load of hogs rs we'll as
the shipper Of cattle, and if we
can secure train that will run
stock right through to Denver
market it will save every shipper
enough on one car TO pay his as-
sessments TO our association for
ten years. Stock at present
has to be put in the stock yards
at Holly thc night before and are
then jammed all day at every sid
ing between there and La Junta
often being on the road longer
than should be necessary to reach
Denver. We want TO stop this
nuisance and will want the assist
ance of every stockmen and the
press to help US. There are many
small stock men around Holly who
ought to attend this meeting and
join the association.
Yours Truly,

HOME FROM CONVENTION.
Elks Had to Pay High Prices in Salt
 Lake City.


 Patrick J. Lawlor, exalted ruler of Waterbury lodge of Elks, returned home yesterday morning from his trip to the convention which was held in Salt Lake City. After the convention ended he left with other Connecticut parties for California and he speaks in glowing terms of that part of the Unit ed States He was accompanied on his western trip by James E. Smith, exalted ruler of Derby lodge, Chris OBrien of Ansonia. member of Wa terbury lodge, and John Schumacher of the Derby lodge. MT Lawlor speaks of California and Denver as Gods country and says it is a good I5lace to live in and good place to die in. He was not so enthusiastic over the reception rendered the Elks i'll Salt Lake City. The lodge of that place did everything ill the power of the members to make the trip of the visiting Elks pleasant but the hotel keepers and business men robbed them | right and left. The prices were so eXorbitant that on the second day after tie convention opened one thousand visitors quit the city and went to Den yer or other places. Fabulous prices were charged for rooms and meals. and drinkables sold for prices that would make an eastern cafe proprietor rich in month. The Elks of Salt Lake City tried hard to get the business men to do the right thing by the visitors. but they were powerless ill the matter. | An idea of the prices that were charged can be gained from the follow ing: The Baltimore lodge had room twelve by fourteen with just a small table and three chairs. 1t was used asi q sort of headquarters. It cost l them $15 day. The Connecticut quartet spoken of above paid S16 T day for one room with two beds. Their first breakfast cost them $4.75. A small glass of beer sold for fifteen cents, whiskey cost twenty-five cents and mixed drinks thirty-fve cents. MT LaWlor met many eastern people out through California and Denver. Among them were Tommy Lahey, who is one or the most popular catchers in the West, and Jack Lawior, who owns the Whole western country. Both claim they are willing to pass the rest of their lives out there. The lodges of Elks through the west have some of the finest quarters ever owned by any lodge. In Salt Lake City the quarters of the lodge cost sS0,0oO to fit up alone. The customers were given royal re- ception wherever they visited and in every place they were used grandIy except by the business men of Salt Lake City.
 l When asked as to the district depu- ty for this district Mir Lawlor said that he believed it would go to NIT l Chamberlain of Hartford lodge, who I came into the race at the last minute. Joseph X. Cullen of this city and MT Masterson of Bridgeport were in the race, but from what was learned be- fore leaving Salt Lake City MT Lawlor thinks that the dark horse in Hartford will be the winner.

 That of Chicago Murderer.
 RICEVILLE, Ia, Sept. S.7The body which was buried here Saturday and which was believed so be that of Will liam Bartholin has been exhamed and positively identified as that of the Chi cago double murderer
 The identification was made by Will liam Mitchell, brother of one of Bar tholin's victims, and Detective Andrew Rohan of Chicago, who arrived here from Chicago. Dr. A. J. Coey of Chi cago, who came here with Detective Rohan, cut out the lower jaw of the dead murderer, which contained the two gold crowned teeth which have fig ured so largely in the description sent broadcast throughout the country for purposes of Identification. The jaw will be taken to Chicago by the detec- tive.
 Bartholin's body was found last Fri day afternoon about six miles from Riceville as told in previous dispatch- es, by J. G. Pratt, resident of Rice vile. Mir. Pratt was driving to Elma and when passing fiaxfeld saw the body lying against q stack of fax. Thinking it was a man asleep, he paid no attention but on returning he saw the man still there and upon investiga- ton discovered he was dead, with re- volver lying by his left hand.
 Coroner T. $. Carpenter was notified, and the body was removed to an under taking establishment at Riceville.
 There J. B. McCook, editor of a Rice vile paper, discovered that the dead man bore striking resemblance to the published pictures of the Chicago mur- derer.
 The text of confession left by the suicide and signed 'sW J. Bartholin" was made public by Dr. T. s. Carpen- ter, coroner of Howard county, and is as follows;
 sT want to state am the Bartholin the police are looking for; also. wish to certify had no assistance of any kind from any one. Thompson, Clatfy and Counselmsyl are all as innocent as un- born child and should be freed at once.
 ''I cannot go into details in regard to the crimes. They were not planned. It was all Minnie and I could do. My mind is wandering. Such a drop in life in a short time-two months ago travelling in the best of company; to- day living the life of hoboes, mur- derer!
 T intended to go into details and tell all, but I can't get my mind centered. Even my handwriting is disgraceful.
 s.But, above all things, ask to clear everybody from under suspicion. There is no second party. am the last"
 Inquiry here developed the fact that Bartholin came to Riceville Aug. 6, be- fore the bodies of Mrs. Bartholin and Miss Mitchell were discovered.

POLICE COURT DoINGS.
several Drunks Answered Before
 Judge Peasley This Morning.


 1t did not take very long to dispose of the business ill the city court to-day. Judge Peasley presided. John Schnet- lais was found intoxicated on Poplar avenue Saturday night. The accused said he came from the coal fields about week ago. His left hand was terri bly, maimed, but it won him no elem ency. He was sentenced to thirty days in jail.

A young fellow who answered to the name Of John Clarke plead guilty to breaking into the saloon Eof Vito Noli on Spring street and talk ling $l.25 in very small change, 100 pool checks and few cigars. As it Ewas thought he did not understand the enormity of the accusation plea of mot guilty was filed. The evidence was to the effect that last Saturday night after closing hour Clarke en- tered the saloon of Noli and took the articles mentioned. Noli saw him in , the place and a chase ensued Off, cers Cronan and Healey joined i'll and landed the thief Clarke had nothing to, say and he was bound over under q bond of $500 to the next term Of the superior court.
 A case against John Genova for breach of the peace was nolled for $15. This is said to have been one of the most serious cases that have come to the attention of the police for some Etime. Officer Keegan while on Mead ow street last evening heard wo- mans screams for help and after run ming in their direction for a minute or two saw two men and q woman tuss- ling. When the men saw the officer they ran. At the police station ra- zor was found on Geneva, who was one of the men.

ITS rHIRrY-sEcoND YEAR.
Convent of Notre Dame Offers Best
 Educational Advantages.

An event of interest to the people or Waterbury will be the sgd re-openlhg of the Academy of Notre Dame to- morrow morning. This institution isold only in years. 1t is young in vigor, IS full of progressive ideas, and, With the experience of more than q quarter of a century it is able to meet the de- mands of the generation who require for their children the very best edu- oational advantages of the day.
 The word "bests is here used in it's comparative significance, and to say "best educational advantages" means much. It means the highest possible cultivation Of both the mind and the morals of those who elect to avail themselves of it's advantages; 1t means that no educational system is "best' which cultivates the mind, but does not feel free to apply its discip- line to the heart; it means, i'll short, that the system which combines the spiritual with the intellectual is the one which will send the most fully de- veloped characters into the field of the worlds workers To round out the
 character of it's pupils is the aim of the
 Convent of Notre Dame. To this
 end the institution offers to it's patrons
 an excellent course of study conpris-
 ing Kindergarten, grammar and High
 school grades, supplemented by a course ill Christian doctrine and les sons in department Instruction is also given i'll the languages, particu- larly in French, and in the fine arts of painting, drawing and music. In the latter special attention will be paid to pupils desiring to prepare themselves to take positions as organists.
 The writer visited the convent few days ago and noted many improve ments, particularly in the dormltories, where new hardwood floors have been laid; new lavatories with openworlx plumbing installed, and thirty private rooms partitioned off, each with g small wardrobe. All of the beds and
 mattresses are new. The decorating l is done in white; walls, ceilings and
 woodwork and the draperies are of white bordered with red. Altogether 1 a more cosy or comfortable place would be hard to find. The class rooms have been renovated and fresh ened and everything is in readiness for
 the reception of pupils tomorrow
 morning.
 It is to be hoped that q very large
 attendance will encourage the good nuns in their efforts to give to the peo- lple of Waterbury an institution of
 which they may we'll be proud.
