EDITOR ENTERPRISE:


capital out of little misunder-
standing concerning the payment
of the interest on the bonded in
debtedness, (Which has nothing
whatever to do with what con-
Germs the over-burdened taxpay-
ers most) having ANONYMOUSLY
failed, that pettyfogging editor
OF the Citizen, organ of the ad-
mlnlstration, in it's last issue,
uttered a terrible stop Thief"
cry to throw sand into the eyes
OF its readers and throw them
off their guard relative to the
real matters involved.
But will he succeed in "whang-
doodling" or bamboozling them
with such a ridiculous TRADE?
Are there any taxpayers who
can't see through his desperate
whltewashiug scheme? If there
are, they are to be pitied!
After having exhausted his
whole ocabulary of Billings
gate" which he must have bor-
rowed from some London fish
wife, this little doodle-whanging
pettyfogger of an editor tries to
clear his own skirts of the charge
of being a malicious mischief
maker" by accusing me of hav.
ing palpably and mallciously
lied" with regard to his white
washing sheet charging five
cents per line for communica-
tons on the tax and other ques-
tons, which other papers insert
free" The lie is on his side,
not on mine, and he admits it in
these words: HE asked the
Citizen to publish his retraction,
and we did so at the usual rate
of five cents per line" And be-
cause the Office attempted to
collect a bill for it at this rate,
led to this whole controversy.
Now, who lied?
Another real malicious lie" is
his calling my explanation, head
ed "Amende Honorable" re-
traction. There was no retrac-
ton whatever about it. l had
nothing to retract. That's only
another of his whitewashing
splurges, calculated to deceive
the unwary. My "amende" was
a mere explanation of a misun-
derstanding of no consequence
whatever. Only a contemplate
pettyfogger could distort such a
plain explanation into a SANDER
his purpose being to make
bad blood" and other trouble
between the parties concerned.
And he knows, too, that the mis-
understanding was not on my
side. | asked a question which
was misunderstood and that is
all there was to it. But seeing
that the other party's feelings
were hurt thereby, which l had
not the least intention of doing,
1, like a man, and 20 sooth said
feelings, came out with an
Amende Honc rable," for which
The. Citizen Office tried to collect
five SCENTS per line, making total
of nearly three dollars.
Now, who is the palpable and
malicious liar" and "skinhint
who is filling the pages of the
Citizen with column after column
of rot" Only a double column
o. his mud-slinging rot, extend
ing nearly the full length of his
paper, is what his latest attempt
at whitewashing amounts to, If
my communications were rot, "
then he is rotten for having in
serted them!
Another malicious lie is that l
have been trying to 'bulldoze' Il
woman"-the ex-editress pro
tenn. Our correspondence was
carried on with the proper de-
corum on both sides, as the
above shows, and if he cap point

III our paper. eS, our paper,
owned by said "best friends,
directly and indirectly, and he
has to dance to their fiddle"
and does it, too, in true petit
logger style.
Old Rye E. Wryman, mouth
piece and blower for our munic-
ipal government, fears that AL
derman Mosher," president Of
the concern of which said "Old
Doodlewhang is the tooter, may
obtain an undue amount of pop
ularity by Whetstine's reference
to him." Thanks for the i'm
piled compliment, but how can
this be, seeing 1 am without
any influence" as he and the
mayor are so flip in asserting?
Why should he fear" that nv
reference to Alderman Mosher
should give him an undue amount
of popularity? Does said "Old
Doodlewhang" intend to ''cut
him out at the next election for
the lucrative Office of alderman,
at one dollar per year?
Doodlewhang says that "Mosh-
er absolutely refused to allow
me any advantage over other
citizens in the matter of assess
ments of property for taxation"
This refusal" was in response
to formal communication Civ
ing in" our property at a fair
valuation, said absolute refusal"
to accept it at such valuation be-
ing the reply. It also means
that many other taxpayers not in
the ring" will have (and did have)
their property assessed much
higher than what they could get
for it. This has been a notori-
GUS fact for years, and will con-
tinue so until the taxpayers put
their feet down on such i'm po-
sition, this being the only city in
the United States where the peo-
pie submit to it, and l have Of
fered to donate $500 to the
Benevolent Society for proof to
the contrary, with no takers so
far. 1t also means that "other
citizens" does not include those
whose assessments are ridicu-
lousy low, reducing their taxes
to comparatively nothing. 1T
also has a direct bearing on
communication signed Many
Taxpayers" in your issue of
June I'd, giving the figures which
show that our total resources in
the way of licenses. income from
water and light rents, tax sales
redeemed with costs, fines, ETC.,
are more than enough to run the
city, schools, salaries, street i'm
crovement and all else taken to-
gether, and that there is no need
of an advalorem tax whatever.
The figures therein given have
never been disputed, and until
they are shown to be wrong, the
taxpayer has a right to demand
what is being done with the
money thus raised, which
amounts to in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 per annum, as
said figures have shown.
There was nothing in the ma.
ture of retraction in my com
munication headed: IAN expla-
nation and Amend Honorable"
nor was there ever any allusion
made to Mr.. Rountree; in any
previous article, yet after
seeing the above explanation as
to how the mistake relative to the
intereston the the bonded indebt-
edncss occurred, the editor of the
Citizen had the malignity to pub
lish the black lie that had "ac-
cused the city clerk of EN- bezzling
$500 a year for several years."
That this was intended to create
trouble of the worst character

shut, and shows old Wryman to

the major part of his time was taken
up with business matters he managed
TO get together few days for pleasure,
which he devoted to sightseeing at the

property interests in Iowa, which he
found to be in good condition. He

The committees in charge OF the va
rious departments have their work
well in hand and are grestly encour-
aged over the outlook. which they re-
port as more favorable than they had
reason to expect would be the case a
few weeks ago. The racing committee
is in Rocky Ford this week and its
members are confident that many of
the best horses at the otero county
fair will he brought here. The smuse-
menr committee is leaving nothing un-

viii visit Canon City week after next
and there lie little doubt that the pro-
gram in this respect will be highly sat-
isfactory.
In view of the coming of SO many
visitors from the surrounding towns,
the people OF Canon City ard its sub
urbs should clean up their premises in
order that the streets may present the
best possible appearance. Weeds and
grass all along the roadways should be
cut, raked up and burned the coming
week. Canon City has the reputation
of being very neat and attractive
community and people should see to it
that those who come to our fair do not
have their minds disabused on this
point.
Intending visitors at the fair are
urged to prepare whatever they may
have for display purposes a. soon as
possible. 1t is not too early to begin /:
next week may be too late for some
things. While there can be no ques-
tion that the fair will be success in
all essential particulars it can be made
emphatically so in every department
by u hearty public corporation. Ev-
cry citizen should endeavor TO make it
the utmost possible success.

At all times a perfect mob of ideas
and words stands at the gate leading in
to the mind. trying TO get in. While we
wake and are sane. says writer in
Every body's Magazine, there is some
thing that stands at this gate and lets
in only the sensible ideas and the
words that have relation to the subject
in hand. All the others it keeps shoot
ing away with: sect back there! Go on
away 1t is this inhibitive faculty
that. keeps us sane. But in order to
reach the general paralysis of sleep we
have to pass through a preliminary
stage wherein we are as foolish as any
lunatic. When the sentinel at the gate
of the mind goes off duty for the night
the mob of irrational ideas and words
comes trooping in, and so when | would
court sleep l deliberately open the door
of my mind to the rabble, turning
loose upon it a troupe of unrelated
words and phrases. For some reason or
other l find that the vocable ''abracada-
bra" is a good one to start off with.
Often a word or sentence will repeat it
self with increasing rapidity- and shall
/ say loudness ?-until it is all a tumble
which breaks up simultaneously with
the disintegration of the colored pat
tern before my closed eyes.

Head Hunters.

Head hunters is the name given to
the professional assassins of the Solo
mon islands. The vocation of these
men is to procure the heads of those
whom they are hired to murder or to
sell the victims for sacrificial purposes.
Sometimes the enemies of man offer
large sum to be paid in the native shell
money for the head, which will be
proof of death, and the head hunter,
with cold blooded and INSCRIPTIONS
methods. lays his plans.
Frequently great caution is neces-
sary. The intending murderer will
worm his way into the friendship of
his victim. and a long period may
elapse before the opportunity will ar
rive for the fatal stroke. 1t may thus
happen that the murdered mans death
will have been compassed by one whom
he has regarded as the closest and
most loving of intimates. Surely this is
the most hateful of all professions fol-
lowed for the sake of gain.

PrOfIes.

Tt is said that the American womaE's
profile is the finest in the world; that it
is the most clear cut and finely modelled
of any other type. Generalities like this
are hard to prove. 1t cannot be denied
that some of the finest profiles in the
history of feminine beauty are to be
found in America, but whether the av
erage is markedly higher in this coun-
try than anywhere else is an open
question. But the ordeal is trying one
to any woman when it comes to a faith
full delineation of her profile in shadow.
1t is finely nodded face indeed which
looks we'll in a shadow picture seen
sideways. If the nose turns up the
least bit in real life it is sure to point
skyward in a silhouette. If that organ
is even a trifie above the usual size it
will appear huge in a shadow profile.
A projecting upper lip or projecting
under lip becomes positive deformity
in a silhouette, no matter how slight
it may be in the original.-Atlanta Jour
