CANDIDATE. TO, Full, Dinner Pail.

Ernest Marble, who claims that
he is a"lightning ierker"by occupa-
tion, when he is working, but who
admits that he hasn't worked much
at it lately. was arrested last Satur-
day charged with the larceny of
six bananas, of the value OF IS
cents, from a Santa Fe refrigerator
car. He entered plea of guilty
before his honor, Judge Seeley,
rendering the mitigating circum-
stance of extreme hunger as
valid reason for his fracturing the
laws OF Colorado. Judge Seeley
made him present OF $40 and
costs, and expressed the hope that
while serving out his sentence in
the county Jail he would make
good use of the three squares"
day there provided and get the
wrinkles out OF his stomach.

ou, Sentiments. or Night Nave Seen.

One of our local preachers re.
quests an editorial expression OF
opinion from the TRIBUNE anent
the recent tent meetings. We at
tended very few OF the meetings,
and hardly feel capable of giving
an honest expression OF opinion as
to the resultant good and abiding
benefits of the three weeks cam
paign. Our prayer is that the fond
est hopes OF the promoters may be
realized. Had W. been more faith
iul in our attendance we might
have received inspiration sufficient
to entertain the sentiments ex-
pressed by one OF our local con
,emporaries, who broke forth last
week with the following:
"Th- passing OF the dear old
tent took place on Tuesday last.
Many were the songs they sang,
and many the cheering words they
gave, the speakers and the singers,
and long to be remembered the
many beautiful occasions during
the life OF that grand Marquee in
La Iunta. Whilst the fawnig,
iatuous winds made merry rigs in
the park trees and sometimes
seized and shook her tackle, the
choruses went on until they were
heard like the Bethlehem hymns
upon the steppes IN the faraway
land, that the spirit guests chanted,
the peace choir of earth and
heaven"

days visiting friends. He expects
to return home to-day. Mr.. Gar

magnificent distances, the county
seat, Beaver City, being $50 miles
east of him, and the county line an
unknown distance beyond that.
He says they have the finest grass
on: of doors in that section, and
an abundance Of fine water from
springs and wells, the latter being
from fifteen to ITS feet in depth.

Dave Downer and Sam Rouse
explored the Arkansas river bed
from the headgate to Manzanola
last Friday in search OF some of
the missing bodies lost in the
Eden wreck week ago last sun
day night. They walked in the
middle OF the river and searched
every nook where bodies were
liable to lodge, but failed to find
any. They found a number of
shoes, la ly's hat and a dress,
but no trace of a body. A report
was brought in TO Fowler Monday
night that body had been found
in the Bob creek ditch near Ord
way. Harry Johnson, the Pueblo
merchant, is offering reward Of
5000 for the recovery of the body
OF his ight-year-old daughter, who
was one of the victims of the
wreck.

Farming vns., o,meul.i...

Farmers under the Otero ditch
seem to experience a continual
round OF ill-!uck. Last year A.
Brooker had crops galore, but as
there was no water the crops wilt
ed and died, and wer- finally ob!it-
Grated from the surface of the
earth. This year there has been
plenty Of rain and water galore in
the Otero, but Mr.. Brooker has
no crops, his experience Of last
year causing him to lose faith en-
tirely in the Otero as a crop pro-
ducer. The Otero seems to be in
the vice like grip of a perpetual
hoodoo.

w. o. Skinner has been made
general agent Of the Santa Fe in;
Pueblo and beginning ,he duties
OF his new position Monday is
strong illustration Of the wisdom
OF beginning in ones earliest years
at the avocation to be pursued for
life. MIR. Skinner has been in the
service Of the Santa Fe company
from his boyhood days, beginning
in 1887, when he vas callboy at
Coolidge, Kan. From that posi-
ton he climbed the ladder slowly
but persistently an steadily to the
position OF local freighi and pas
senger agent. From there he
went to Garden City, Kan, in
1891, where he held similar posi-.
tion to the one he had left at
Coolidge. Three years later he
was transferred to La Junta and
from La Junta came to Pueblo in
June of 1900 to take the position
OF freight agent. Since that time
Mr.. Skinner has been very busy
among the business men Of Pue-
bio, gaining business for the Santa
Fe road. And that he has been
eminently successful is proven
beyond the shadow Of = doubt by
his promotion to the highest place
in the service of the company here.
Besides holding the Office Of
freight agent Mr.. Skinner has for
the last four years been joint agent
in Pueblo for the Colorado &
Southern and the Santa Fe roads.
Pueblo is considered one Of the
most difficult freight stations on
the Santa Fe system to manage
successfully, but Mr.. Skinner has
from the first day that he assumed
charge Of the freight department
here kept things running smoothly
and enjoyed the confidence alike
Of his superiors and those who
were engaged under him in the
service.
With his transfer to the place
left vacant by the death of J. @.
Thomas in the Eden wreck of last
Sunday the territory over which he
will have jurisdiction is defined as
between La Junta on the east and
Canon City on the west: The live
