The virtues of durum, or so-called
macaroni wheat, are manifold. j. M.
Burns, who had such success raising
durum wheat, recently told us that
the crop was especially useful in
choking out foul growths of various
kinds II grows faster than wild
oats or weeds, and thus chokes them
out. He had one small piece of
ground that last year was especially
foul, but this year the durum wheat
choked out all the foul growths, and
the wheat was clean by the time is
was ready to cut.

The newspaper men of the town
enjoyed square meal on Tuesday.
We are able to make this startling
announcement on account of an in.
vitation which was issued by Miss
Agnes Keeshan, manager of the New
Royal Cafe, who thought it fitting
that the newspaper men of the city
should preside al the opening of the
cafe under the new management.
We know of no class of men who can
better appreaciate good meal.
That the repast was very en-
joyable, and that it was very nicely
served goes without saying, so we
will not mention it. Miss Keeshan
is showing herself to be a good
manager, who attends closely to all
those little details that make the
Cafe plessureable place in which
to eat. We bespesk for her good
measure of success.

Death of John w. WEIGH.

The death OF John w. Welch,
which occurred, az announced in last
weeks HERALD, at half past one
o'clock last Saturday afternoon, was
not unexpected by the public and
friends Of deceased. Mr.. WEIGH had
been ailing for several weeks, and rs
he was gradually growing weaker,
his family and friends were prepared
for the event.
Deceased was born in Durham,
England, and had he lived till Octo-
Der 9th, would have been 73 years of
age.
He arrived in Canada in 1855.
Later crossed over to the United
States and was living in Illinois at
the outbreak of the Civil war. In
February, 1852 he enlisted in COM
pany G, 18th Illinois infantry, and
served with credit through most Of
the war. After the close Of that
great struggle, Mr.. WEIGH farmed
successfully in Iowa, but the western
fever took hold Of him and in 1872 he
came to Colorado and followed min
Ing and mercantile pursuits at differ
ent points In the state until coming
to Meeker In December 1885, where he
has since resided.
Wherever he has lived Mr.. WEIGH
bore reputation for honesty and
square dealing in all his transactions
with his fellow men. Indeed the title
by which he was most generally
known was that Of Honest John
welch" and 1t was rightly applied.
Rev. Mallery conducted impressive
services at the late residence of the
deceased Sunday afternoon after
which the local camp, G. A. r. took
charge of the body and In company
with . large concourse of citizens
the remains to Highland
cemetery where they were consigned
to Mother Earth in accordance with
the ritual of the Grand Army.
Requiescat in pace.
