from the slums, placed Ia a mansion

WOODnEN LOG ROLLING
The Choppers ore Taxing sa Aciive IN
ieresi In SHcCeSs Of Event.

The Woodmen log rolling TO be
held lat the Chautanqua park in
Waxahachie June Is and % under
the auspices Of all the camps in
Ellis county promises to be the best
the craft has ever witnessed, All
Of the camps in the county are TAX
ing q deep interest in the matter
and are doing their part to royalty
entertain the visiting camps from
the district. A number of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic camps
are arranging to take special part
in the great parade to be had on the
second day. 1t 10 hoped that every
camp in the county will go into this
parade and will have some special
display. Some of the camps have
arranged to shave decorated floats,
comical floats, the typical woodman
log, uniform rank, or regalia lnem-
bers in line, either on DOT or horse
back, with banners, badges, etc.
This parade can be made the special
and interesting feature and 1t is
hoped that there will be 5000 Wood
men in line.
Besides the display to be made by
the Woodmen in the parade, the
military company, the fire depart
ment, and the wide awake merchants
of the city are arranging to join In
it with decorated floats etc. Also
some of the enterprising towns of
the county will be on hand advertis-
ing their superiority over their COM
peting neighbors, recognizing this
to be a fine opportunity to show
what they have. The committees
are working enthusiastically and
will leave nothing undone to make
this a happy occasion.
The time for finishing up the work
for this basket picnic and barbecue
is fast drawing near and the COM
mIttee would be glad to be advised
by those who will take part. 1t Is
also the desire of the committee
that every Woodman in Ellis coun-
tv and the members of their families
and their friends as we'll, consider
this specially as their basket picnic
and barbecue and give their undi-
vided aid to make it q big success.
There will be a special reception
committee on the grounds to look
after and care for them. Bring your
family and your well filled baskets,
aud let us all do what we can to
make this a great and glorious oc-
casion. Whether you are q Wood
man or not, every citizen of Ellis
county should take pride in enter
tanning the visitors, There will be
thousands of people in Waxahachie
at that time and Ellis county should
sustain the reputation she has al
ready made by being royal enter
tainers. We know you will and we
work, and only ask each and all of
you to help us. The committee
wants to hear from every camp and
every Woodman in the county and
wants 20 know who will help us by
bringing a well filled basket or as
sisting in the work in any way.

In the realm of politics purely

Mr.. Roosevelt has done more than

Of thoughtful Americans. 1t has
been discouraging. no donbt, to see
uncovered such n mass Of mer-
cenary callousness and depravity,
but il has been wholesome ex-
pcricnce, or rather the beginning
Of one, for we seem to be hardly
beyond the Threshold. The moral
slnckncss OF American political
life has been long known, but not
since the Star Route scandals hps

Plan to Attend the Farmers In
stitute.

The Canon City Clipper calls at
tention to the Fremont County
Farmers Institute in the followin G
article, which we commend to
Otero County farmers as present
ing strong reasons why they should
make their plans to attend the In.
stitute at Rocky Ford, Jan. 81 tc
%:
Anything and everything which
aids man engaged in any line OF
business to a better understandin {
of that business is a benefit to him.
Farmers Institutes are held for
the purpose of aidiug the farmers
and fruit growers to a more com.
prehensive, intelligent understand.
ing Of what is necessary to con-
duct their business successfully.
Intelligent, practical individuals
are secured to present their views
on various topics pertaining to
those avocations, an address is
made or n paper read, which is fol-
lowed, or should be, by a general
discussion in which all the poi nts
involved are brought out to the
understanding Of all. None are 30
wise in their business that they
cannot learn something to their
advantage in such meetings, there
fore it is to be hoped that lthe in
stitute to be held here on the 18th
and 14th instant will be moro
largely attended than any former
institute here has been.
Several professors Of tho Agri-
cultural college will be here. They
are ENGAGED every day in the year
in researches, and experiments up
on matters in which you arc inter-
ested. and they know much that
you don't know. They are always
willing to impart what they know,
and it will be your fault IL you do
not attend and draw them out up
ON matters in which you nre inter-
cs,ed.
Hon. j. W. Crowley, Of Rocky
Ford, will be here. He is n prnc-
,ical horticultural, and has cxp-r-
imcnted much upon matters in
which you are interested. His cx-
pcricnee will bc interesting and
instructive.

DIR. Rice of Pueblo recently
killed a highly popular policeman
when under the influence of NOR
phine and liquor. The jury turned
him loose on the community on
the ground of insanity. When in
sanity takes the form Of shooting
people it is acute enough to JUS
tify the incarceration Of the mur-
dcrer. A general law should be
enacted providing that release
from a legal penalty on the ground
insanity should subject the Of
fender to long term in an asylum
DR.. Rice is not yet a free man, NJ
since his acquittal he has again
been placed in custody pending m
inquiry as to his sanity.
Since the above was in type DIR
Rice has, very consistently, been
declared insane.

milton. prevention. and treatment
OF disease.
While tho practice of medicine
is practically experimental. We do
know tho action and use Of certain
drugs, aud in giving same Ne ex-
pcct certain results. But these re-
suits are not always a,tninablc. and
". are then thrown upon our own
resources. To Try the next thing in

such men usually base their cx-
pcricnec ON very limited number
of cases. II man will try ccr-
tain thing in n hundred cases with
out single failure. then he can he
pretty safe in saying that il is a
,olcrably sure cure. But they u.s.
uAlly base such abatement ON a
half dozen or dozen cases. aud
some even on one or two cases.
For instance, l was working ON n
very bad case Of azctura tho other
day ON horse that had gone down

no certain thing to 60 by: that a

Gated. aud that what would work
in a few cases might not have any
effect in the greater majority of
of cases. Whcreupon he said tha,
he always used soda, and withou,

many casss he had ever had. lie
replied, "two," that he knew Of
and he thought more. You see he
had not had enough experience TO
ever conclude tha, soda might he
fair thing to give. On the other
hand he knew nothing of the ae-
tion OF soda in the horses stomach: /:
he might have killed his horse.
which many have done. II you
have collie due TO sourncss Of the
stomach. soda is often very good
to use. but il you have a highly
acid condition of the stomach. and
give soda, you get an etfervescing
that produces twice the amount of
gas that you first had, which is Ii
able to- rupture the stomach walls.
1t is Just like throwing a spoonful
of soda into cup of vinegar. and
You all know how that acts with
out studying chemistry.
Again we have to consider some
other things, as females require
smaller doses than males, and the
smaller the animal the smaller the
dose. The climale also. as to heat
and cold. governs; a larger dose is
used in summer than in winter.
Dogs take about the same dose as
humans, but consider the size of

Why Colorado Can't be Downed.

The Denver Republican. in
speaking Of the fact that the long
succession OF strikes H. Colorado
has had such romai kRbly small cf-
feet nn the general prospects. SAYS:
II il doubtful II there are six
other states in the union that could
suiIcr such serious strikes in their
leading industries aud still show
such prosperity a. Colorado has
done. The strikes that have at
tractci the attention of the cnun-
try ut large have dealt n heavy blow
Ht Colorado's mining industry-Rn
industry that is ispopulhrly supposed
10 h. the sole support Of Colorado.
Few Eastern people realize that
this state has gu area, capable OF
irrigation. nearly as large rs the
entire state Of Ohio. And few peo-
pie of the East realize that this
fertile area has been rapidly filled
with choice farms, whose output
commands top market prices and
whose remarkable productivity
soon places the owners in a far
more independent condition, iinan-
cially than the average Eastern
farmer.
Then again, Eastern people do
do not realize the extent Of the
manufacturing enterprises til a
have grown in Colorado in recen,
years, nor Of the large wholesale
trade that has sprung up to sup.
ply the enormous demand in the
the state.
No state with but one or two re.
sources could weather an indus.
trial storm as Culurodo is doing.

The Pueblo Chieftain's New
Years edition might be said to be
"out of sight" but for the fact Of its
size and beauty. No daily in the
state has opened 1904 with more
comprehensive and attractive re-

Chieftain. Pueblo is to be con-
graduated on having newspaper

that an increase In taxable property tends
