WILL SETTLE NEAR ALAMOSA

farmers from their respective states in
the East, and locate them on tracts OF
farm land, which they will operate on
shares until they are able to acquire
it outright. The land is about eight
miles from Alamosa on the Creede
branch of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad. The railroad runs directly
through the property.
Mr.. Amber is one Of the members
of the company which intends to erect
a beet sugar factory near Alamosa. He

begun probably about January 10th.
The contracts for the construction of
the factory have not been let.

A Hog Trough.

A good recipe" for the construc-
ton of a hog trough Is offered by G.
H. Moore of Kansas City, who writes
as follows:
Take board one inch thick, eigh-
teen or twenty inches wide, bevel the
edges an angle of fifty degrees, and
side pieces on beveled edge should be
six inches wide, allowing one inch to
project below lower edge of board that
forms bottom of trough. Place board
twelve inches wide in center, raising
the board two inches from bottom, and
every eight inches put in a partition,
mailing secure to board in center and
side pieces of the trough This makes
trough the hogs can not get into:
and every hog must eat in his own
department. On the top or board in
center you can build hopper where
shelled corn can be put, leaving the
space below large enough for the corn
to pass through to the trough below,
If cover is placed on this hopper it
will keep out all kinds of stock from
eating the feed in the hopper, also
storm and dirt. This trough has many
advantages over any others l have
seen or known, and l will mention a,
few of these. Being made of inch
lumber, it is light and convenient and
"a sixteen-fcot trough weighs only
about forty or fifty pounds. and forty
eight hogs can all feed at the same
time at this kind of trough. AS the
hog can not get his feet in this trough
little or no mud or filth is carried into
the feed, and the partitions keep the
hog in his own department. This is
the ideal hog trough for the farmer,
as it is money saver and certainly
an agreeable surprise to the hog.

CHARGES AGAINST WIFE.
Application for AIimOny Fought ON
Sensational Grounds.

The hearing upon the application for
temporary and permanent alimony filed
by Mrs. Mary G. Moorehead against
her husband, NJ. F. Moorehead, was had
before Judge Barrow in the Superior
Court yesterday morning, and devel-
oped a state of facts that bore strongly
against the wife.
The husband was resisting the wife's
application for alimony on the ground
that even since his petition for divorce
was filed her conduct has been about
everything it should not be, and at the
hearing he introduced testimony to
substantiate his contentious. The petit
ton for total divorce was filed by the
husband a month ago.
Mrs. Moorehead had been followed, ac-
cording to the evidence of witnesses,
by the husband and some of his friends.
A detective described her meeting a
young man, whom he named, and the
conduct of the man and woman after
they had met. He told of folloXing
them to various places in the city, and
on one occasion to Laurel Grove Gene
terry.
The wife denied all the charges made
against her with Indignation. She
said they were absolutely false and
were all a part of a scheme her hus-
band had conceived and was endeav-
oring to carry out to blast her char
acter and destroy her good name.
An opportunity was allowed Mr.. w.
F. Slater, who appeared for Mrs
Moorehead, to secure evidence to re-
but the charges that had been made,
but Judge Barrow instructed counsel
that this evidence must be submitted
in the form of dispositions and not
orally.
Moorehead stated on the stand that
he had at present no Income, though
he had been constantly endeavoring
to secure a position for a number of
months. Mrs. Moorehead said that he
wilfully refused to work because he
thought if he had an income he
might be compelled by the court to
contribute to her support.

From all reports the Confederate

number since the formation of this
organization. Extensive preparations
are being made for their reception; the
Fair Grounds (noted as being the larg-
est in the country are being laid out
in streets, and tents will be erected in
sufficient number to accommodate all
who go. Amusements unknown in
this section of the county are prom
lsed winding up with a true buffalo
barbecue.
The Confederate Veterans of Sa-

are looking forward with much pleas

some staid citizens.
THE parade will wind through the
city and will make it's way TO the ex-
position by land and water route, taxi
ing a steamer on the Cooper river and
proceeding around to and up the Ash
ley river to the Ivory City. There the
lines will be formed again and the
brilliant cavalcade will make it's way
through the exposition grounds, break
ing up In the Midway, where the
Shriners will be in congeniad atmos-
phere.
1.-THE features of the occasion which
will interest the Shriners themselves
most, are, of course, the great initia-
ton and the banquet. The initiation
will be held at the German Artillery
Hall, the Masonic Temple being made
quate to the demands of the occasion.
All the elaborate paraphernalia for the
degree will be installed by experts in
the big hall, which will be decorated
with the finest Oriental hangings and
carpets. The degree will be a great
undertaking, as can be imagined when
the number of candidates is consider
ed, and it's comforting will take long
time. Work will be begun early in the
afternoon. After the candidates have
been ennobled, the whole company will
proceed to another hall, where a great
banquet-probably the largest that has
ever been served in Charleston-will
be held. This will be a very notable
affair.
The first day the Shriners are here
they viii be taken up to Magnolia Gar
dens. where they will spend the morn

they will spend on the Midway, and
they will surely make that part Of the

DIR. TRUTH HEARD FROM.
Healer Who Was in Savannah Now
Doing Stunts in New York.

Healer Who Was in Savannah Now
Doing Stunts in New York.
Dr.. Francis Truth, who several
months ago occupied a fiat on Liberty
street, near Barnard, and who left the
city suddenly, at the same time leav-
ing several untreated patients, has
turned in New York. The following
story from the New York World will
interest Savannahians, who recall the
doctor and his peculiarities:
Dr. Francis Truth the self-styled
divine healer" who was arrested in
Boston by government authorities and
fined $500 for using the mails for his
absent treatment" has established
himself in New York, and on Sunday
will open Temple of Truth No. l."
which he says is to be the nucleus for
like temples to be set up all over the
country. He calls himself the director
general of the chain of temples. A mag
nfcent suit of offices, fitted up with
antique furniture, was opened yester-
day in the Tuxedo building, at Madison
avenue and Fifty-ninth street Ad-
joining is the church, an ample hall,
which has been handsomely arranged
for the opening service.
DR.. Truth expects to open here on
the same magnificent scale as in Bos-
ton. There, he said, he had the hnest
Offices in the city. He is accompanied
by Mrs Truth, also a healer and a
large office force Thirty healers are
being prepared to go to different cities
and establish new temples.
Since he was indicted on seven
counts in Boston and was forced to
pay the $500 fine DR.. Truth has been
in various cities. In Jacksonville the
license for divine healers was increas-
ed to $500 so as to keep him from
practicing. He is said to have made a
fortune in Boston, and the lavish
style of his offices here would indl-
cate that the reports are true.
Il expect to have an office force OF
thirty-five or forty persons shortly,
he said. II am going to start maya
zine, publishing house for my works,
and a sanitarium, for which $4,000 is
now ready"
In Boston he practiced the absent
Treatment and received large sums of
money by mail. Tie postal authori-
ties interfered, and seized twelve
huge sacks of mail. He pleaded guilty
and went to San Francisco. There
cry was raised because it was said
that he had taken money from many
people and had left before treating
mem. He said he gave these patients
the absent treatment"
