Fourth of July Celebration.

A meeting was held Tuesday
evening in Garcia Hall for the pur-

to the Fourth OF July celebration.
D. L. Murray was elected chairman

feasibility of various amusements
and attractions was discussed.
A general committee of three was
appointed, which consisted Of
Messrs. Baxter, Reed and Wilson.
This general committee will have
the power of appointing sub-com-
mittees as is necessary. They are
now awaiting word from Agent
Landis Of the Santa Fe in reply to
request that an excursion be run
on the Fourth from Phoenix here.
AS soon as the preliminary ar
rangements have been made, an
other meeting will be held and the
report Of the committee read. 1t

To Burn Fuel Oil.

Mr.. J. H. Emmert, of Prescott,
assistant to President Murphy Of
the S. F., P. & P. railroad says:
In about one week the S. F., P.
& P. line will be fully equipped
for burning oil instead of coal. The
preparations for this change have
been going on for some time, and
it is certain to be an improvement
that will benefit the railroad COM
pany in q financial way and the
travelling public in the way OF com
fort. The use Of oil has been proved
to be cheaper than coal, and in the
burning of oil there are no cinders
to float back through the passenger
coaches and put peoples eyes out.
1t is estimated that the S. F., P. &
P. line will require about 10000
gallons of oil daily for it's motive
power, and in the use of oil there is
the further advantage that larger
fuel stock may be kept on hand
than when coal is used. There is
another advantage in the fact that
from oil there are no sparks to set
fire along the right of way.

to Greeley. where he looked over the
potato situation. He reports that full
ly 10000 cars Of potatoes will be taken
out Of the Greeley district this year.
the largest crop In the history Of the
district.
The potatoes will be shipped to Kan
sas and Texas first, and then, as the
season advances they will be sent to 9TH
er markets. The shortage Of cars is
greatest drawback to the moyefnent Of
potatoes 1t this time of the year. All
Of tho available freight ears Of eysry
road In Colorado are being hurried to
Greeley to secure potato shipments.
1t u stated that any railroad having
5000 freight cars could 20 Into the
Greeley district now and take out that
amount Of freight. The tuber tonnage
Of Greeley is being sought for eagerly
by all the roads, rs 1t ID regarded ~
one of the most important items Of
freight in the state.
The American Refrigerator Transit
Company. operating in connection with
the Gould lines. has had representa-
tives In Greeley for several days. That
company is looking after shipments
Of potatoes that will be made In re-
frigerator cars.
Mr.. Kooser brought back from Gree
ley two mammoth potatoes which were
gwen him as samples OF the product
raised in that district One OF the tu-
bers weigh four pounds and three
ounces. and the other an even three

sueee.. ox wyoming Fair.

Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 10-The third
convention of the Wyoming Industrial
Association ended last night. 1t was
the most enthusiastic non-partisan
gathering Of citizen delegates ever
held in the state. and 1t is safe to
say that the results will be felt in
the added impetus given to industrial
development and in the stronger spirit
of unity and loyalty to Wyoming that
the convention has created.
Last evenings entertainment, which
closed the last day of the Wyoming in
dustrial convention. was grand car
nival OF Indians on parade through the
streets. Braves and squaws, mounted
on ponies, appeared in gorgeous cos
tunes. and red fire Illuminated the
entire line Of march. lending q lurid
and weird aspect to. the scene. The
Indians sang or chanted their peculiar
melodies or other songs and at the
close Of the parade went to the mann
moth tent and engaged in their widest
dances. Seven tribes were represent
ed in the ceremonies, including nearly
forty OF their principal chiefs.
Casper was unanimously chosen as
the. place for holding the fourth in
dustrial convention in 1904. Cody and
Rawlins were out for the meeting, but
both withdrew in favor of Casper.
Cody will probably get the meeting in
1905.

Is still partly irrational, having not

not believe that he was the cause Of

for whisky, he says that he is con-
fined upon the request of his brother
in.law, who does not want him to
drink. His condition Is most serious
and physicians who have visited him
are fearful that when he realizes his
deed the result will be total col
lapse Of his mind.

at the meeting which has Just closed In

recently inaugurated by the American
Medical Association. This is a far
more liberal code than the old ethical
system which prevented regular prac-
titioners from holding consultation
with the so-called irregular" practi-
TONERS. a term which included homeo-
paths, eclectic physicians and other
men learned in science but not con-
formant to the rules of the American
Medical Association. The new code
was unanimously adopted by the coun-
Gil Of the state society, which met pre-,
vious to the opening Of the convention
Immediately after convening the action
of the council WAS ratified.
The society was reorgani1ed from an
Independent body to one forming a
component part Of the American Medi-
cal Association. This was done In con-
formity with the actions of other state
societies.
