Our down town streets are sea

cipally from the dirt taken from
the various cellars of our new
buildings. In some instances the
center OF the streets have been fill

that the contractor who was exca-
waiting some cellar might have a
convenient place to dump the dirt
that he was paid for carting away.
Along the foothills on the north
side OF the river are thousands Of
tons OF the finest kind of shale
that makes the very best kind Of a
road-next to an asphalt pave

the North La Junta road from the
railroad TO the Fort Lyon canal.

solid.as a rock. At the same time
drive east for a mile or two from

and plow through the mud hub

inches and good substantial gut,

holes will keep our streets in first.

this would not be great. A good

such cases made and provided.

weighed on the city scale, or the
street commissioner might inspect
the loads and order any OF them

One cubic yard Of shaie will

the avenues running north and

ARRESTED SOON AS DISCHARGED
Will Now Have to Answer to Charge Of
Adultery, Preferred by Harvey Bitt-
ner-Discharse in the District Court
Case a Great Surprise to Court Hab-
itue-considered Sympathy Verdict

John Desher was discharged from
the district court this morning after
the jury had proclaimed him not
guilty of the crime Of cheating by
false pretenses, with which he was
charged under an Indictment. The YER
dict created considerable surprise, as
those who had been listening to the
case and were familiar with its phases,
looked for a conviction. The general
opinion expressed in the court room
was thai the verdict was one OF sym
pathy for the prisoner. who is poor
and a perfect picture Of dejectedness.
Immediately after Desher stepped
from his chair and could again begin
to breathe the free air, he was placed
under arrest by Sheriff Shoemaker,
who held a warrant issued Wednesday
afternoon by Justice Burritt, charging
him with adultery. Harvey Bittner Is
the complaining witness. Mrs. Bittner
has been living with Desher 1t is
claimed, since he left Marshalltowns
and was with him when he was ar
rested at FIT. Dodge, where he was
passing rs John Johnson.
1t Gid not take the jury very long
to decide on Its verdict in the dis
trict court case. The evidence was
concluded Wednesday evening and the
arguments this morning. The jury re-
tired at about 10 and returned its YER
dict at 11:15.
Desher was accused of having sold
"a horse belonging to George Stewart.
which his son. Sam Desher had traded
for, giving in exchange a pony be-
longing to Governor Packard, for
whom he worked. The father left the
city as soon as the alleged crime was
committed, and went to Iowa Falls,
where it was claimed he sold the horse.
He was not located until a few weeks
ago, altho h grand jury of the August
term indicted him. When arrested he
was at Ft. Dodge, where he was known
as John Johnson. Samuel Desher, the
son, was tried on the same charge
at the last term of the district court
and was discharged, the son himself
discriminating the father in his testi-
mony in his own behalf. The state
considered it had a very good case
against the elder Desher, and especial
ly when he was placed on the stand
himself. His evidence was contradic-
tory in many respects. When asked
why he assumed the name of johnson
he said it was to keep the knowledge
of his whereabouts from Bittner.
Desher's arraignment is set for this
afternoon in Justice Burritt's court.

you're cured. Get a package of Rocky

Principal e. u. Graft, of the high school,
read a very Interesting paper on The
Foreign Representatives of the United
States, and Their Duties" MI. Graft
said In part:
Our foreign representatives may be
divided into two general classes, diplo-
matte agents or ambassadors, and COM
mercial agents or consuls. The duties
Of the first vary with their mission,
which may be one of negotiation, of ETH
quette and to make excuse,
or as an act of obedience. The chief
function of a resident minister is to be
jealous in defending the rights OF his
countrymen. This protection of its citi-
zens abroad Is an important point for a
government If 1t would secure the re-
spect of other nations and retain that of
its own people.
sThe duty of a consul is to protect,
facilitate and extend between
the country which appoints him and
the country to which he is sent. This
work is increasing in Importance every
year. With the increase in the means
OF communication and transportation
between the different countries, 1T is
natural that questions relating to COM
merce should become more numerous
and more important.
I'm this connection, he bill now
pending in the United States enate is
o. interest. It's object is a thorough re-
organization of the consular service,
with the the design nt putting it under
civil service rules. L is obvious that
the consular service has outgrown the
system under which it was organized in
1859, and there are practically no OBJ
iections to the bill so far as the merits
of the question are concerned. The ops
position is entirely on political grounds.
The loss of this department as patrons
age would be a sever. blow to the poll
t,cians. There is considerable doubt
that the bill will become a law"
