Narrow Escape from Freezing.

Omar G. Flora, mail carrier on the
Julesburg. IIolyoke Star route, lost his
way in the blizzard last Friday evening
when coming from Holyoke 70 this
place and was compelled u spend the
night on the open prairie. Because Of
the storm, which ragged nearly all day
Friday, Flora did not leave Holyoke on
the return trip IN Julesburg until
about 4 o'clock in the evening. At
that time the storm appeared to have
abated in fury and he decided to make
an attempt to reach Julesburg before
midnight. This he might possibly
have done, although the undertaking
was a hazardous one, had it not been
for an accident to his wagon. In this
accident the doubletree to the wagon
was broken and further progress was
out of the question. Flora then tied
his horses to wheel Of the wagon and
started out afOot in search Of ranch
house. This search was continued
throughout the night, but not until
daylight was house discovered. At
that time the residence of II. l.. Green
was located less than half
a mile from where the breakdown to
the wagon had occurred. After thaw-
ing out himself and his horses at the
Green ranch. and repairing his wagon,
Flora resumed his trip to Julesburg,
which place he reached about o'clock
in the afternoon. Flora considers that
ne had narrow escape from death by
freezing and will probably never again
attempt to cover his route during such
storm as that OF last Friday.
In the absence Of his brother, Blaine
Flora went out from Julesburg Satur.
day morning with the mail and his ex.
perience was only little less thrilling
than that of Omar. However he was
more fortunate in locating friendly
ranch house before losing his way, and
spent the night at the home Of Sid
Huntley.

What's in a NaineY

Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. G.
Dewitt & Co. of Chicago, discovered
some years ago, how to make a salve
from Witch Hazel that is a specific for
piles For blind, bleeding, itching
and protruding piles, eczema, cuts,
burns, bruises, and all skin diseases,
DeWitt's Salve has no equal. This
has given rise to numerous worthless
countcrfeits. Ask for De lYitt's-the

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Il never was so much surprised in
my life, as was with the results of
using Chamberlain's Pain Balm, says
HenryT. Crook, pressman of the Ashe-
Vile IN. C.l Gazette. I contracted o
severe case of rheumatism early last
winter by getting my feet wet. tried
several things for it without benefit.
One day while looking over the Ca
Zette, I noticed that Pain Balm was
positively guaranteed to cure rheuma-
tism, so bought bottle of it and be-
fore using two-thirds of it my rheuna-
tism had taken its flight ana l have
not had rheumatic pain since Sold
by G. Lavelle, druggist.
Last Friday the Colorado supreme
court rendered an oral decision sus-
tanning the constitutionality OF the
Rush home rule amendment which
was voted upon favorably by the peo-
pie at the election last November.
Although the validity of the other
amendments voted for at that election
was not passed upon by the court in its
decision upon the Rush amendment,
their constitutionality will probably
never be attacked and they will stand
AS law. Consequently there will be no
election In this county next fall, the
terms of Office OF the present officials
being extended one year by the Taylor
amendment. P. B. Upson. county com
missioner, is the only county official
not effected by the new law, all the
balance of the officers having one year
added to their terms OF Office. District
Attorney Pound also benefits to the
extent of one year by the new law, his
term not expiring until 1904.
