WANTS TO DIVIDE
HIS HONOR

Mr.. Ike Howe thinks that The
Record gave him undue prominence
and unde~erved honor in its article
last week on the penitentiary affair
He says lie didn't show up until all
the important discoveries had been
made and that several other men had
much more to do with the searching
for and capturing the countrsbands OF
war than he.
II is quite common thing to have
n man kick because his name has not
been mentioned prominently enough
in connection With some published
episode hut it so rarely happens that
man desires to divide his credit and
honor with his fellow men that we
take pleasure in making this explaaa.
tion for Mr.. Howe.

TWO WINTER TRIPS
TO GALVESTON
The Record VIII Give Another Trio to
Galveston to the One Who Guesses
the Total Vote Cast, or Cones
Nearest to It.

In some of its 'Schemes''. The
Record has extended its favor to
some popular person. some one who
received votes. This time we have
a handsome favor for some one of
its subscribers who has good Judge
ment, rather than great popularity.
How many votes will be cast in this
contest: The one who guesses the
correct number or comes nearest TO it
will be given the same trip that goes
to the winning lodge secretary He
shall have practically unlimited stop
over ticket from Canon City through
Kansas, Indian Territory ard Texas
to Galveston. In every way he shall
have the same favor extended to the
popular secretary except that purse of
gold. 1t is a trip few people feel
they can afford and the one who is
fortunate enough to make the happy
guesse will have a capital prize indeed.
Guesses will be given to persons
paving subscriptions. One guess will
be given for every dollar paid or
major fraction thereof That is a
man paying 81. 90 or 81 25 will get only
one guess. while sI.I5 would entitle
him TO two guesses.
This arrangement will confine the
guessing to a comparatively few which
increase the chance of all.
In what was termed the Popular
Teachers Contest little over a year
ago we gave away gold watch &c
the person who guessed nearest to the
vote cast.
The total vote in that contest wa:
$50. 500. and NJ. P. NJ. Linneer got the
watch for guessing es.,974. Tha,
merely shows how closely one may
figure it out.
Every person who settles that lit.
tie subscription account will be en-.
titled to vote for his popular lodge
secretary the full number of votes.
