CLAIM DESCENT FROM LOUIS XVII.
Party in France with Sincere but Not
Numerous Adherents

On the occasion of the anniversary OF
the death of Marie Antoinette mass was
said in the humble but ancient church Of
st. Denis at La Chapelle, in the pres
ence of the 'King and Queen of France
and the Dauphin."
Line royal persOnages were a quiet
looking gentleman apparently about 40
years OF age, lady, very. simply dressed,
whom she held by the hand. A small
number of elderly ladies and gentlemen
received their majesties and bowed low
when they alighted from a motor car.
The King of France in question is the
descendant of Naundorff, who alleged
that he was Louis XVII, son of Louis
XVI, having been saved from the Tenn
pie prison, and not, as most historians
believe, done to death in boyhood, an
other child having been substituted for
the real Dauphin. The present King
about his divine right to the throne,
and his followers, who style themselves
the only real legitimist party of France
are, though not very numerous, equally
sincere and devoted to the cause. It
is. however, rather a platOnic devotion,
and the party has yet made no apparent
attempt to bring about a revolution in
order to set the King upon his rightful
throne. After the religious service the
congregation, numbering about dozen
persons, bent knees and kissed hands
Dauphin. The Kings name is Jean, and
he is therefore John III. of France. The
Queen is styled usually Princess Made

bon, Dauphin of France.-London Daily

ABILENE'S HOPPER TRAP.
Continuance Which Failed to Accomplish
All That Was Expected

The report of grasshoppers in south
western Kansas recalls the famous hop

thing in 1871 and in the spring of 1879
the young ones were thick ''Something

margin were desperate. The whole crop
of new hoppers were Matching out, and
it looked as though there would not be
a green thing left in the country. We
had tried burning them in bitches and
various plans, but none of them seemed
to work.

the inventor lived. His name was King,
and he was very proud Of his invention.
1t was something like a huge tanning
mill turned upside down. There was a
lot of complicated machinery inside that
was supposed to create q suction close
to the ground and draw the noppers into
the interior, where they would be killed
by the impact or could be dumped in
rows and so destroyed by pouring oil on
them and setting the heap aIire.

THE DEAD LOVE.

As on the road where SHADOWS laE'
A ghostly woman sped
1T wounded me by night ana day
Ere it would die she SAID.
Within her arms dead Love lay,
Close nestled as in sleep;
She held it in mother-way,

Ere death it's soul could reap
Yea on her breast so smooth and white.
Like red wine on the snow
The wound had CAPPED upon the night;
She had not seemed to know
But when the morning came with light
She looked, and it was so.
Far far upon the shadow-road,
Mid shapes all thin and stark.
The wound upon her breast it glowcd

That fades upon its last abode,

Municipal Integrity.

The standing disgrace of Ameri
ca is the failure of honest govern
ment in the cities. Every Euro
pean observer has commented upon
our failure to provide effective sd-
ministration of the municipalities,
and upon the success of the lowest
elements in obtaining possession OF
their governments, There is hardly
a large city in this country that has
not been the victim Of graft. Mil
lions upon millions of the peoples
money have been stolen. Hundreds
of men are living in luxury today,
not through the honest exercise OF
their faculties, but through their
success in getting their dirty hands
into the public funds. Not content
with successful graft in the past they
are still hungry and thirsty. They
can never get enough. Like Oliver

Fort Lyon Canal Meeting

attended were Pres. B. F. McClsve,

of Lamar, j. ]. Cooper, d. Mcintosh
and Secy. Kreybill, of Las Animas.
Aside from routine business the only
business transacted was the adoption
of a resolution granting to X. E.
Messenger 216 shares of stock upon
the payment of s216. This resolu-
ton was the result of decision
handed down from the district court
in favor of Messenger, ordering this
water turned over. This crse, how
ever, has been appealed to the GU
preme court, and the resolution was
made to take effect in case the decis
ion was against the canal company.

horse leeches' daughter they still
cry, "Give! Givew Bold, aud cyni-
cal in their boldness, they e1clsim,
like Tweed, when discovered, "What

There is a movement in favor of
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties in certain cities of the country.
The movement has its advocates n
this city. But before municipal
ownership will become desirable in
any city of the land, municipal in
tegrity must first be obtained. To
turn the public utilities over to the
management of the cities, in their
present stage of political develop
ment, means further opportunity for
graft and greed. An enlargement
of the opportunity for political cor
morants to steal is what municipal
ownership means, and it means moth
ing more. Good government is the
first essential in our cities, and it is
one of the deplorsble facts of the
time, that goodly proportion of
the men who are shouting loudest
for municipal ownership are the men
who would be least safe if a city's
affairs we're placed in their control.

This order of the court is obviously
one of great injustice to the present
stockholders of the canal. Messen-
ger rented this wsterpriginally from
T. q. Henry, paying an annual rental
therefor, in addition to the assess
ments. These shares were among
those excess rights sold by Henry.

years and merely paying rental, Mes

Model Farms on the Santa Fe

The Santa Fe railroad has prscti-
cally decided to establish model
farms along its lines under the Camp
bell system of dry farming. This is
one of the most important innova-
tions ever made by railway in the
west and will result in bringing
thousands Of dollars of eastern capi-
tai to Colorado and other western
states where there are great areas of
arid land lying idle.
j. l.. Donahue, vice president of
the Colonial Securities company, left
last night for Chicago. where he will
confer with ]. W. Kenkrick, vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad to arrange the par
ticulars for starting the farms.
H. w. Campbell, the father of the
system, sent Mr.. Donahue a telegram
stating that the cooperation of the
Santa Fe was now assured and the
officials were prepared for the devel-
opment of the scheme.
Now that the matter has been de-
cided the establishment of model
farms will be rushed as fast as posi-
BILE, and next year will see many of
them in operation. Their location
on the lines of the railroad will give
tourists an opportunity to study the
value of the system and its support
ers claim that this will be all that is
necessary to bring eastern capital and
