Ault Officials Change.

a number of changes has taken
place in the list of city officials at
Ault. d. L. Carpenter, town attor-
ney, requested some time ago that
the town trustees accept his resigna-
tion and appoint local attorney in
his place. This has now been done.
Ernest X. Jackson, the town marshal
handed in his resignation on Dec. l,
stating as reasons that it was inn
possible for him to properly perform
the duties of the Office, when GER
tain high officials OF the town aided
and carried on the same vices that
he by the board was instructed to
suppress. 1t is understood that the
town clerk will also resign within a

Potatoes Inrn to Apples.

Ralph Meeker is the object of
considerable good natured banter
on account of shipment of pota
toes to his old friend, DR. Hall of
New YORK. \ short time ago Mr..
Meeker sent barrel of potatoes to
the doctor. just to show what Greeley
potatoes look like. An explanatory
letter was sent at the same time.
When the doctor opened his barrel
ii was found to contain fine lot of
Colorado apples. 1t is believed that
the change of climate had changed
the barrel Of sta:chy mealy tubers
into nice luscious Ben Davis apples.
Another explanation is that
a mixture of freight tags was
responsible for thechange.

moned them to the feast, which was
spread in the banquet rooms in the
basement. Then a rush was made
for the tables, which were all filled,
and still many people left over for
the second tables. There were hot
oysters, turkey and other cold
meats, cold slaw and other acces-
sories of the large scale public
spread. Hot coffee and ice cream
cheered the insides and the CONVEX
sation became as jovial and cheerful
as anyone could desire.
For the first time at these gather
ings in many years, Mrs. Meeker
was not present. Although she has
practically recovered from her long
illness, the air was considered too
raw for her to venture out. Not so

The object of the visit of the COM
mander-in-chief and his party is to
complete arrangements for holding
the 39th National Encampment of
the Grand Army of Republic at
Denver in 1905.
A meeting of the general commit

nection with the visit of the COM

ing Monday, Dec. II, regular meeting
on Tuesday, Dec.l2. A camp fire
in the Coliseum building on Tues
day at O'Clock p. NJ; final
meeting on Wednesday, December
IA. The members of the gem
eral committee are urged to
attend these meetings. An invf-
tation is also extended to all COM
rades of the Grand Army, members of
the Woman's Relief corps and Lad
les of the G.. A. r., to avail them
selves of this opportunity to visit
Denver and welcome the command
er-in-chief and his party.
Arrangements have been made for
the entertainment of the COM
mander chief and his party at the
Brown Palace hotel during their stay
in Denver. The department COM
mander and his staff will make
their headquarters at the Albany
hotel, where the commander will be
pleased to meet the comrades and
ladies.
The railroads of Colorado and
Wyoming have been requested to
make special rates for this occas-
sion, which request will no doubt be
granted.
Correspondence from all parts of
the nation indicate that the national
encampment of 1905 at Denver will
be one of the largest ever held.
Our comrades and their friends are
coming to visit 1.-The Rockies next
summer, and we will extend to them
hearty welcome.

MAY SHIP CATTLE
Dipping Not Necessary Except
Where Mango Exists.

Colorado stOckmen will be inter-
ested to know that the modification
of government order providing for
the shipment of cattle unaffected by
the mango to the market without
dipping has been extended indef
nately.
This modification was made last
August and was limited to Novem-
Der 30. a few days ago f. McCril-
lis, secretary Of the state board of
stock inspection commissioners, made
special trip to Chicago to confer
with DR.. d. f. Salmon, chief of
the United States bureau of animal
industry, with reference to securing
an extension of this modification.
Yesterday Mr.. McCrillis wired the
state board that the conference had
been successful and the present regu-
lations would be continued.
The original order as issued by
the government last spring provided
that all cattle should be dipped be-
fore being shipped, regardless of con-
dition. This order entailed consid-
erable inconvenience to cattlemen of
the west, as well as financial loss,
for the dipping of an animal means
reduction of several pounds of flesh.
Where a load of healthy steers was
ready for market, the dipping pro-
cess reduced the weight and conse-
ouently the profits of the shipper.
At the request of the state board
Dr. Salmon came to Colorado last
August with view of making the
order less rigorous in this particular.
A modification limited to November
30 was the result. The benefits that
cattlemen of the state have received
under this modification for the
past two months have been so great
that the board decided to continue
the regulations, and to TINS END
sent Mr.. McCrillis to Chicago.

DRY OF DEAD
Impressive Services at Greeley
Opera House Sunday After
noon Witnessed by
Hundreds

The opera house was crowded last
Sunday afternoon for the Elk IS men,
orial services. and it was a service
worth going a long distance to enjoy.
There was perhaps not city in
the United States that has lodge of
B. P. o. f. that did not have men,
orial services more or less elaborate,
but it is safe to say, that no place
was the spirit of earnest regard for
the memory of the dead members of
the lodge, than at Greeley.
But one member of the lodge has
died the past year, Joseph S. Martin,
who was drowned in Latham reser-
vofr March II, 1904. Martin was
steward for the Vallejo Gun club,
which has a shooting club house at
that lake. While Martin was out
on the lake during heavy wind his
boat capsized and he was precipi-
tated into the icy water, where he
remained for several hours within
sight and hearing distance of friends
any aid.
All these things, and many eX-
cellent and lovable qualities of de-
ceased were set forth by Judge
James. E Garrigues, past exalted
ruler of the lodge.
The program was opened with an
overture by the opera house orchestra,
followed by opening ceremonies by
the officers Of the lodge. Then was
sung the opening ode. to the melody
of Aud Lang Syne," in which
everyone who could sing joined.
Prayer was offered by the chaplain,
Rev. II. J. Hunter, and then fol
lowed the singing of the hymn,
The Lord is My Shepherd, by
Unity quartette.
After that the eulogy upon Joseph
S. Martin was delivered. Rea Couz-
ems sang, Gently Lord, Oh Gently
Lead U.s. followed by another Sc
lection by the opera house orchestra.
The address of the afternoon was
delivered by Brother T, Nj. Hunter,
past exalted ruler of No. II lodge.

anthem by the quartet. and then
