A Free Show. Bot Well Worth seeIni

No admission is charged but the exhi-
bition is a good one. Reference is made
to the display in Stauffer's meat market.
The store Is as neat as pin and hand
somely decorated. The bright ornamen-
tation of the ceiling is job good enough
for dry goods store.
The past reputation Of the Stauffer
market for keeping great variety of fine
eatables will be enhanced by the stock
now being displayed. The most promin-
ent article in the shop is the plump beef.
HON e-fatted and superior to any Kansas
City meat ever brought to Rocky Ford.
The pork is equally attractive and in
cludes pigs about the size OF large tur-
key. Turkeys and geese have been pro-
vided for 20 Christmas dinners. In fish
there are a number Of kinds, both fresh
and salt. In the same ice box with the
fish may be- seen the dish of the epioure,
frogs legs. All varieties of vegetables
are in sight, including lettuce. celery. etc.
His can for oysters is surrounded BY ice,
but doesn't contain any which fact is
most commendable. In relishes. pickles.
ETC. he has every thing that will be called
for for a Christmas or New Years din
ner.
In short, Stauffer has market as full
and complete as could be demanded in a
city several times the size Of Rocky Ford
1t will pay you to give Mr.. Stauffer a
| a call tomorrow.

The Beet Sugar Industry Is Safe.

Now that the Cuban reciprocity treaty
has become operative. those who feared
that it would injure the beet sugar in
dustry OF this state should get ready to
explain why the misfortune fails to ar
rive.
The beet sugar trust has shown no
anxiety during the past year, nor have
the manufacturers and beet growers of
this state shown any alarm. New facto-
ries are projected, and farmers are in
creasing the beet acreage without any

Holiday travellers have been asking
Agent Curran many questions concerning
rates. For instance: Tho regular fare
10 Denver is $3.50. When half rates are
advertised. that Is. one standard fare
for the round trip. purchasers Of tickets
wonder why they are charged $3.50 in
stead of $3.50 for the round trip. Agent
Cdrran explains as follows: The regular
standard fare is based on the mileage.
Between Pueblo and Denver the Santa
Fs is in competition with the Rio Grande.
The latter road has the shortest line.
hence the Santa Fe on the line between
Pueblo and Denver cannot fix the price Of
tickets on the mileage plan but must come
down To the Rio Grande's rates. But in
selling tickets through from Rocky Ford 70
Denver the price is fixed on tho mileage
basis. which makes difference Of 30
cents in the round trip.

One Of the habits Of Sentor Swink's
life has been to always have an eye open
for the material interests Of the Rocky
Ford country. In pursuance Of this most
oommendable characteristic it is his Gus
tom to investigate agricultural PROPOSE
tons which promise to be adapted to the
Arkansas valley. 1t was with this object
in mind that he few years ago made a
trip to Pttsburg to examine into the
picking business as cocducted by the
famous Heinz, who now puts up 81 pop
ular articles for table consumption. Mr..
Swink gives a most interesting account Of
the system of the great factory and its
great cleanliness. Not only does the fac
tory take the utmost pains in the manu-
faoture Of its goods, but the comfort,
health and happiness Of its army Of en-
ployses is looked after in a manner
worthy Of the highest praise.

as the Rocky Ford country ought to be a
good region in which an attractive. mid
