Hurt in a Runaway.

Al Carnahans two little boys, Henry
and Harold, were badly cut up in rum
away last Friday morning. Al had hitch
ed the team to the spring wagon and put
the two boys in preparatory to starting
to town, and left the team standing un-
hitched for moment while he turned
back to close the gate. He had not moved
more than 20 feet when his hat blew off
soaring the horses, which started to run.
After running a short distance both boys
were thrown out, one of them into wire
fence. Both of the little fellows were
seriously cut about the head; DR.. Denney
found it necessary to sew up two scalp
wounds on one of the injured boys and
one on the other. Mr.. Cafnahan caught
the team and brought the boys TO town,
where they were given careful attention
by DR.. Denney. Their wounds. are now
healing nicely and the little fellows will
soon be all right again.

The Big Free Fair.

Three weeks from today-Sept. 20, the
third annual Elbert County fair will be
held and it behooves our people to see to
it that the people far and near are invit-
ed and urged to come to Elbert on that
day, bring an exhibit of some kind and
help to make the fair n big success
bigger and better than ever before.
Good crops have been raised thruout
this locality this season and there is no
good reason why the exhibits in farm
products should not be the very best
ever shown here. An extra effort on the
part of all is all that is necessary to ac-
complish this.
Talk up the stock exhibit also and let
us show the many strangers who will be
at the fair what Ebert and adjoining
counties can produce in fine fat stock of
all kinds.
Liberal cash premiums are offered in
all classes and, as in the past, these
premiums will all be paid in full. Spe-
cial attractions are being arranged for,
including tirst-class band of music, and
the day will be one long to be remem-
bered by all who attend.
The exhibits will not be confined to
Ebert county, but the adjoining couns
ties are invited to take part and exhibit
their fat stock, poultry, farm products,
etc.
Say a good word for the Elbert County
fair at every opportunity and boost it in
every legitimate way
The premium list will be ready for dis.
tribution today. Write or call on the
secretary for one

same time be able to make as good time
in to Denver, the Rock Island is pushing
the cutoff as fast as possible. 1t is esti-
mated by the Rock Island officials that
the cost of constructing the 45 miles of
new road to connect with the RIO Grande
at Palmer Lake can be paid for in five
years out of savings effected by this ar
rangement. The change will not effect
the Rock Island traffic into Colorado
Springs. When the new route is com
pleted, the Denver section of incoming
trains will be cut off at Calhan, instead
of at Limon junction, as at present.
The construction of the new branch
will have the effect of canceling the pres
ent arrangement between the Rock Is
land and the Union Pacific for the use OF
the latter's tracks from Limon junction
to Denver"
Elbert people have thought that the
Rock Island would some day use the
"old line OF the c. & s. to get into Den
ver. via Eastonville, Elbert and Eliza
beth, and Il good many still think that
this cutoff, if it is built at all, will tap
this line at or near Eastonville. as it is
generally understood that the Rock Is
land owns controlling interest in the
Colorado & Southern.

What Is the "Muck-R a ke"?

"At the beginning of the twentieth
century, says Thomas w. Lawson, in
the August Everybody's, "this problem
stood where all the American people
could see it in all its inevitable awful
ness: If muckers continue to multiply,
il muck continues to increase, people will
be loathsomely sutfocated and the nation
finally and horribly inundated. Then
from the midst of the people stepped
certain of their fellows, and they said:
we will analyze for all the people this
muck. We will dissect for all the people
these muckers. We shall show the CON
sequences that the people may rise and
drive into eternal damnatiou the muck
ers and sweep into the ocean of eternal
oblivion the muck, to the end that, there
being no muckers and no muck, the peo-
pie may exist.
"And these plain fellows of plain peo-
pie said: We will devote our existence
to this work, willingly paying all penal
ties, cheerfully suffering all hardships,
refusing to be bullied, bought, cajoled,
VI Sieit- lTdChtu uHlll our LdSh Is UU1Sneu
or we have fallen in the field of our labor
We will ask no pay; we will accept no re-
ward
"These men went to work knowing
full well the unprofitableness of their
task, and realizing all its dangers, and at
the beginning they decided that as the
soldier has his gun, the doctor his scalpel
and the miner his pick, they must have
an instrument for their work AS the
muck and muckers were contaminating
to all things with which they came in
contact, and must be hauled and dragg-
ed and stirred to the end that their poi
son could go off into the air, they said:
Our instrument shall be the rake, whose
teeth will dig, and impale, and scatter,
and spread, and turn up and down."
