''8s~dy Bottom

The much talked OF play,
"Saudy Bottom" leaves a strong
and favorable impression where
ever it is presented. Its natural
ness disarms criticism. and the
spectator yields himself to its it,
resistabie power over his laughter
aud his tears. The element OF
success IS artrs,lcaily employed
and the lights and shades Of the
story are finely proportioned with
a view to unity. Take your sister
to see this play. it will not cause a
blush; take the children. they will
be amused At its abundance OF
hunor; take the old folks, they
will enjoy the revival OF old asso-
cations. This is a play for all.
"SAndy Bottom" will be seen at
the La Junta Theatre, Tuesday
evening, April 2Ist.

THERE were quite a number OF
freak tickets voted in every ward
IN the city last Tuesday. One
bucoiic voter 10 the third ward
decorated his ballot with the de.
claration 81 hereby vote the
straight re enforcement ticket. =
OF course he did not vote at all,
or at least Il was not counted.
Other enlightened citizens wrote
their names 10 the blank space lett
Tor the party designation, and still
others. who probably wanted to
get their moneys worth, voted Tor
three councilmen instead OF two.
Some people ought to go to night
school for at least term or two.

Why She Wss vhsossvi.

There is a very good story being
told on spinster who claims
Swink as her permanent abiding
place. She had always been a
home. loving old soul, and had
never even experienced the sensa
ton Of riding DER the mountains
and "buzzing through the wales
on a California Limited. Finally
she was induced to take a trip TO
California, and became intensely
interested IN rubbernecking the
landrcape DER en- route. She kept
her eagle eye glued to the window
pane and was positively en.rancrd.
Something inside the car at
tracted her attention for moment,
and when she turned to the win
dow again she was Mortified.
There was nothing IN sight but a,
mosPhere and the blue sky over
head. The train was passing over
a very long tressie. and our ancient
maiden was dumbfounded by what
she saw. or rather by what she
did not see. Finally. the train
reached the other side of the tres
sle, and when our ancient Swink
maiden recognized Mother Earth
again she heaved a great sigh oi
relief and remarked. "Weii, shank
Heaven, we've lit"

The bill introduced by Senator
Farwell appropriating $4,000 for q
bridge over the Arkansas river,
near La Junta. passed the legis-
lature and is now in the hands OF
the governor. The definite loca-
tion Of the bridge has not as ye,
been decided upon, but it will
probably be built short distance
west Of l.. Junta Immediately
north Of Riverview cemetery. The
viewers have not a. yet made .
report upon the route Of the pro.
posed extension Of Kansas street
west. but when this road IS com
pleted il will give . direct route
to Rocky Ford and also across the
new bridge 20 the Holbsook coun-
try. Il would be 4 good idea Tor
the merchants Of La Junta to paste
this fact in their hats and act &c.

denied. Whether this change results from the belief that the treatment ot the negro by the South Is largely justihabie, is a point which at present cannot pc definitely determined.
 There are signs, however, whlcn indl- cate that the racial feeling of the white and the black man one to the other is the same. no matter in what part of the coun- try they live. If this be true, 1t is a most unfortunate circumstance, and will inter fere with and delay the solution or the great national problem which will con tinue to agitate the people until It IS set tied. A most significant coincidence is distressingly apparent in that this in- crease of negro lynchings, Of race riots and of general hostility of feeling IS slm- uItaneous with the increase, by influx from the South. of the black Population in Indiana and Illinois where the racial troubles have been most outrageous have increased 233 and 2S4 per cent respectively within the last ten years, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia have all shown a similar or greater movement of blacks into their borders.-
 The continual overflow of the black pop ulation across the Mason and Dixon line is due chiefly to the desire of the blacks to live in large cities. The pleasures and vices to which they are addicted and the easy work of meniai service in which they are most capable are more easy to obtain in crowded communities, and hence the migration.

 Sue Boudsmen.

Johnson E. Owens. tax collector of Russell county, has disappeared from his home at Scale. He Is due the State $3,2o6.42 and the county s1,700. It Is said he wrote to a friend stating that he had left the State because ne could not bear to face a charge of dedication.
 A letter written by Owens from New Orleans is said to have been received by one of his friends in Russell county. His bondsmen, it is said, will undertake to cause his arrest.
 Owens, according to law, should have made final settlement of taxes collected with State Auditor Thomas L. Sowell on July 1, and Mir. Sowell had been pressing him for settlement of the States funds in his possession.
 Two weeks ago Owens advised Auditor Sowell that he would be in Montgomery the following day for the purpose of pay ing the tax money into the State treasury. Owens failed to come to Montgomery, but wrote asking for . statement and papers with which to complete his re- port. Auditor Sowell furnished him with the necessary papers and on Wednesday of last week the tax collector came to Montgomery. He had his account and papers and said he desired to ascertain the exact amount he was due the State. He did not have the money with him. he said, but 1t was m a bank and he would return to his home and send the money the following day.
