Is Junts Iyoeun Course.

Tickets for the third season Of the
La Junta Lyceum will soon be on
sale. The talent has been engaged.
and the best that the Cooperative
Bureau of Chicago and Omaha had
to offer is on the list. The dates for
the different numbers will soon be
announced and Immediately there
after a committee of citizens will
call at your home with season tick
cts. and booklet of the course.
Since the announcement that
Father Vaughn was billed for La
Junta, word comes to the committee
that in several points in Illinois he
has appeared three successive sea-
sons and the clamor is still for
Father Vaughn. He is the greatest
dramatic orator on the platform
to-day, and La Junta may well ex-
pect a rare treat when he brings his
lecture on Shakespeare"
The Arthur Middleton Company
will provide high tenor. baritone.
contralto and readings in a way to
leave long and pleasant memories.
So say they who have heard the
company repeatedly and with in
creasing interest.
The youthful Mr.. Crowl will be "a
perpetual surprise" His sketches
are inimitable. His limitations of
Sam Jones are superior TO the
original. That is why hundreds Of
places keep asking for Crowl.
Col. Balm. old soldier. dean of the
platform to-day. will answer to our
summons with one Of his mastery
efforts. He is the youngest old man
on the stage at the present time.
With such talent it is safe to pre-
dict for the committee a popular re-
ception at sl.50 per season ticket.
and for the opera house a crowded
audience.

Some Of the merchants of this
town would like 10 see the Wells
Fargo Company have an attack Of
enlargement of the heart and en-
ploy an additional man to look after
the office business. All trains arrive
in La Junta during the morning
hours, and il seems To require the
entire force 10 look after the trans
fer business on the platform. which
results in the Office being locked
sometimes during the entire morn
ing. The local patrons of the Wells
Fargo are entitled 10 some consid-
GRAFTON. We know of one business
man who went to the office four
times one morning this week. and
each time found it closed and locked.
This might be be all right at Swink
or Newdale. but is reflection and
a slam upon a town the size Of La
Junta. as well as a great inconven-
ience. We respectfully suggest that
the Board Of Trade get busy in this
matter.

The geography class was on the
rack at our local kindergarten a few
days ago. The occasion was the
anniversary of the discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus.
and the teacher was telling the won
dering tots the story of how at two
O'Clock on the morning of Friday.
the 18th Of October. 1892. Rodrigo
de Triana. a sailor aboard the
Nina. announced the appearance
of what proved to be the New
World. After a brief pause the
teacher asked: What did Colum-
bus discover when ne landed on the
shores of America" One bright
youngster raised his hand. and at a
signal from the teacher replied clear
and strong. Rocky Ford" That
youngster must have recently moved
TO La Junta from the sugar beet
metropolis where they teach even
the infants that Rocky Ford is the
biggest town in the world" He
would naturally suppose that Chris
topher Columbus would become
acquainted with the existence Of
that burg in very short time after
his arrival.
