State Realty Meeting.

States and communities grow by
united action. They become great
and powerful because each indi-
vidual eleuent works in harmony
with all the Others. This can be
done not only by each community
knowing its own resources and
needs, but also by understanding
the resources and needs Of other
communities, and the hearty and
generous spirit OF inter depend
ence which OF necessity exists in
all highly civilized communities.
No individual city or state Can
stand alone. Atrophy is the inev-
table result OF such isolation.
This spirit OF generous interIela-
tionship has been recognized by
the real estate men OF the state,
and prompted the formation OF the
Colorado State Realty Association,
which held such successful meet
ing III Denver a year ago, and will
bold the next in Pueblo June 9th.

the Pueblo meeting includes ad-
dresses and discussions OF matters
OF vital importance to all real
estate men and property owners OF
the state and to all citizens of Col
orado who take pride in her pros
perity and greatness.
In addition, the spring race meet
will take place in Pueblo at this
time aud will add much to the en-
joyment Of the occasion. The Pu-
eblo Business Mems Association

ministerisi Banquet


Ministerial Association OF La Iunts
rendered Dr. Robert Col,man and |
his wife farewell banquet a, the
Harvey House. After a bounteous
meal, the guests retired TO the par.
lors and spent a pleasan, evening
in informal conversation. DR.
Coltman, from his rich store of ex
perience, answered in fitting and
helpful manner, questions pro
pounded by the ministers and their
wives in reference to many features
OF ministerial work.
Rev. X. II. Lampkin, of the
Christian church, read the follow
ing resolution:
To Robt. Coltman and wife:
Because OF the pleasing and
hearty fellowship that has existed
among us, the ministers of La
Jnnta, it is but fitting. DR.. Colt
man, that some formal expression
be given you and your estimable
wife upon the occasion OF your de-
paTtute from this field OF labor.
Hence we have thought that a
spread OF good things to eat, such
as the Harvey House serves its
patrons, would materially assist
and give substance to our words.
Six years, in this day OF rapid
changes, is a good while to minis
ter to people, yet is but hurried
passing to cut the ties that are so
soon formed between pastor and
people. The ties that we have so
disliked 10 break, when they have
been so hearty and iulsome as
yours have been, ought not TO give
you pain. but rather Joy, in the
knowledge OF having possessed
them. And as you go from us we
want to say TO you, and by you we
mean the wife as well, that we bid
you God speed, with sincere
hope your days and your joys may
be prolonged, and your lot cast in
the pasture of the Lord.
a wife is TO every true minister
OF God as much pau OF him and
his work as the Lord alone can ma Ike
oneness, and to an appreciative
wife such as we know yours to be
we wish also to render that praise
that is due her as we'll.
We deem it privilege to have
this opportunity to thus express
ourselves and to put in writing,
and with it add for the benefit of
any body OF CO laborers among
whom your lot may be cast, that
we have tound you both bene
diction in that quiet modesty and
courteous bearing that only marks
the culture of head and heart Of
those who under the benign in
fluences OF Christian grace have
acquired them.
Lord, make thy face to shine
upon thy servant. and cause thy
face to shine upon us, that Thy
way may be known upon earth.

DIR. kimball of the Methodist
church led in prayer and called
upon DIR. Coltman to close the even
ing's hour with another voice OF
praise and supplication to the
throne Of grace.
DIR. Coltman and his wife have
been the ambassadors of the truth
here in La Junta for the past six
years; they are both greatly below
ed not only by the members Of the
various churches. but by all the
citizens of Ia Junta. We bid
them God speed as their ties are
severed and wish them abundant
success wherever they are called

Hurley on Flood Situation.

A dispatch from +. Hurley,
superintendent OF the eastern
grand division, to w. kendrick.
vice president OF the Santa Fe, re
garding the flood situation, is as
follows: The situation is the most
serious in the history of this coun
try. The entire Missouri and kaw
bottoms are submerged and there
is loss OF life going on now. The
Missouri Pacific is the only line
from the east, except the Chicago
and Alton, that can get IN from the
east, and none from the west.
There is three feet of water run
ming through the Union depot at
Kansas City, and the water is still
rising. All freight houses in bot
toms are submerged, and the Frls
co depot and Burlington yards are
burning up. AT the Burlington
junction the cars are all on fire and
floating around; all packing houses
and industries are submerged and
many ruined. The Santa Fe iron
bridge across Turkey creek is three
feet under water. but is safe yet.
1t has four spans and is weighted
down with cars of coal. All our
west engines are tied up in south
end OF Kansas City yard. We
Rave enough power to run east
bound trains. The Burlington lost
the wing approach TO their bridge
and are trying to get their trains in
via the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ST. Paul to our Grand avenue sta
ton. Trains ! and S OF Sunday
morning are tied up at Rosedaie
on the Frisco. and that
road advises us now that trains
cannot be moved for three days
Topeka city water works submere-
ed and FIRE system shut off from the
city. All wires and telephones are
down west OF here and cannot learn
the situation west of Topeka;
street car system discontinued ex.
cept for short distances, aud no
telephone connection between rail-
ways and city. 1t is about as bad
as can be pictured, and we should
not run any unnecessary trains
west until we know what can he
done with passengers, and should
not sell tickets to points west OF
Kansas City. We have box cars
floating around in Argentine and
that place is entirely submerged
roundhouse, shops. depots and
everything. Our employees here
saved their families. We are in
some danger that Burlington cars
will float against some of ours and
spread FIRE Our track is safe but
that is about all. There is always
great danger from the Missouri
river, but no indications Of il as
yet.

NO BEGGARs IN FINLAND.

Begging doesn't go in my native
land said A. f. Watch, in speaking
Of the famine in Finland. IF a
man asks for bread he is given the
opportunity to earn it, never the mon
ey to buy it. It is this policy, gener-
alton after generation, that has made
the Finnish people prefer death to
begging, as it isrunderstood here. The
farmers begin to SOW in June and seed
potatoes and rye and barley and oats
are their greatest need. What little
rye was raised Last year was not prop
erly ripened before being taken to the
kilns. 1t was unusually dark and
lacking in nutriment. In a letter
from my sister she speaks of friend
who had travelled north establishing
free lodgings In ten bailiwicks. In
these lodgings warmth and food could
be had. The women and children
were taught cookery and earned their
food by sewing, spinning, knitting and
weaving, and the men were provided
with work. 1t is work, work, work,

There is political struggle pending
in the city of Waterbury which is at
tracing the attention of the people Of
the state. It is over the democratic
nomination for the mayoralty. There
are two candidates, William e. Thoms,
who is put forward by the regular
democracy, and young man named
James M. Lynch, who is the candidate
of the Economic league Hartford
Times.
The above is part right and part
wrong. The two democratic candi-
dates, Lynch and Thoms, are backed
by democrats. There is nothing ne
about this, for there are always two
or more candidates before the nominal
lions are made. True, Lynch has the
support of the labor organizations and
the Economic league, but he also mas
the support of many members of the
Irregular democracy" Thoms also no
doubt has his friends in the labor

AT MoRRIsToWN
New Jersey Will Reproduce Reyolu-

Ford's old tavern at Morristown,
which at one time during the war Of
the Revolution was Gen. Washing
toms headquarters, will be reproduced
at the Worlds Fair, at ST. Louis, as
New Jerseys State building.
The historic structure, which will be
reproduced with fidelity, will cost $780,
600. New Jersey has already appro-
priated 100000, and is arranging for
a liberal increase. Her Industrial and
educational exhibits will be as inter-
esting in their way as the old Ford
tavern is in the states history.
The famous men of early days who
We're sheltered by the old tavern when
the colonies were engaged in the mem
orable struggle for freedom, includes
Alexander Hamilton, Lafayette Kos
c1usko, Israel Putnam, Philip Schuy-
Ter and others.
The dimensions of the structure are
sixty-three by eighty-three feet. At
the exposition it will stand upon a
conspicuous site, and will be one of
the first buildings to greet the visi-
tors eye when be enters the Expo
sit1on grounds at the southeast corner.

The style of architecture. is, of
course, colonial. Across the front is
a broad veranda, supported by Doric
columns, with double columns mark
ing the entrance, above which is the
coat of arms of New jersey in staff
The small window panes, dormer win
dows outside stone chimneys. weather
boarding, blinds and shingled roof will
contribute to the quaintness of the
structure
The minor details in the interior are
TO he as faithfully reproduced as are
those of the exterior. Wall papers of
colonial patterns, and antique furni-
ture in vogue in those early days. are
to be specially designed for the several
apartments. A feature of the main
hall. the floor Of which may be COW
cred with a rag carpet is the old
fashioned fireplace. and the interesting
collection of relics of historic value.
A spacious reception room is pro-
vjdad on the main floor. and from it
stairway will lead to the parlors on
the floor above. On this floor will be
reproduced the room which was used
by Washington as bed chamber.
There is also to be the dining. room.
with wine buffet and cut glassware of
the colonial days.
The third floor is te be devoted en-
tirely to the use of the persons en-
ployed as caretakers.
The mineral resources, such as build

AN Ex-BANDH FOR HONESTY
Cole Younger States His Principles
Frank James's Advice as to Crooks.

Frank JameS'S Advice as to Crooks.
When Cole Yonger, the famous ban
Git, was in Macon county recently with
the Wild West show he is running
with Frank James, he gave what may
be considered convincing proof that he
has adopted new code of ethics. That
was when he discharged a concert
ticket seller for short-changing a pa
tron. The big, gray-eyed Snowman re-
marked to the crowd that witnessed
the act that the show would be run on
the square or not at all, and that it
any emplOye-Indian, cowboy, snake
charmer, peanut vender or what not
was caught cheating in the least de-
gree he would be summarily fired.
On that touching occasion Frank
James delivered this advice for dealing
with the light-ingered gentry:
ST one of those fellows tries to work
you just walk right UP to him, grab
him by the lapel of the coat and say:
You've got my money! know you've
got it-and I'm going to have it back!'
"Ninety-nine out of every hundred
dishonest men are towards, and If you
brace UP to them like you mean bust
ness you stand just that chance of re-
covering"
"But If it happens to be the hun
dredth man, Colonel?" a bystander
asked.
James smiled, and his peculiarly
keen eyes looked out over the crowd.
t9Then It's up to your manhood ne
said, ITO make good your statement
