The annual flower show which was
to have been held today under the aus
pices of the Floral Society Of the Pres
byterian church, had to be called off
for want Of a suitable room In which
1t could be held. The ladies were ex-
pecting to use the court house; but the
auditorium is still undergoing renova-
ton, which could not be suspended
again as in the case of the D. A. r.
last week. While the flowers
are not near so perfect this year as
usual, still many Of the ladies had
handsome specimens and there was
much disappointment because of the
unavoidable postponement Of the show.
The baby show is in progress this af-
ternoon at the residence of Mrs. ]. J.
Hunter and the understanding is that
the flower show will be held next year
as usual.

1t will be interesting to note that the
seventeen counties which have no dis
pensaries received $9,S2S.24 Of the $19,-
612.69. or a few dollars more than half
Of the whole amount. Spartanburg
gets the lions share. with Orangeburg
second. The seventeen non -dispensary
counties are Oconee, Pickens, knder-
son, Greenville, Spartanburg, Cherokee,
Union, Newberry, Saluda, Greenwood,
Edgefield, York, Lancaster, Marlboro,
Marion, Darlington and Horny, but In
some Of these the dispensaries have not
been closed a year.
When the $4,000 was paid from the
dispensary profits to the school fund in
March, $9,373.70 was distributed among
the schools to make up the amount
necessary to run the schools the re-
quired three months term. To the
state summer school $1,000 was paid
and to the county summer schools
$4,000. This left a balance Of $9,626.30,
which has been held awaiting the fur
ther payment, since 1t was too small
an amount to distribute according to
enrolment, which Is the law after the
three months term deficiency fund Is
made up. With the $4,000 paid over
Friday. this makes $19,626.30, which Is
to be distributed according to enroll
ment among the schools. There are
about 100000 pupils in the public
schools of the state, white and black,
and by distributing $19.612.S9 among
that number each pupil will receive 6.5
cents worth of education from the in
stitution known as the dispensary.
This amount will about pay for the
shoe leather each scholar will wear out
in one day A balance Of $13.41 is
left to the school fund.
1t is the intention of the dispensary
board, however, as previously stated,
to pay $4,000 per week into the school
fund for six or seven weeks.

BACK TO HIS OWN CHURCH.
Youth Had Gone Rounds Of the Others
and Was Satisfied.

Young Stanley McMinneman oil
Rumford Falls. the son of MIR. and
Mrs. George McMinneman. is sup
posed to be an attendant at Father
la Flamme's church.
For the past few weeks, owing to
necessity, he has been sent to church
alone. The other day he startled his
mother by announcing, as he but
toned his collar under his chin:
"WelI. | guess I'll go back where l
belong to-day"
What do you meant" his mother
asked in surprise.
Why" the little chap answered
calmly. I've been going round to see
what church liked best. But the
Universalists and the Baptists are no
good. The Methodist church's on the
bum-thcy have't got any altar, nor
altar boys, and I'm just going back
to where | belong!"

self that he did.-Lewiston Journal.

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.

Decidedly the poorest attraction
that has visited the Park opra house
this season held the boards at that
playhouse last night. The audience
was an extremely large one and
judging by the liberal applause and
laughter the crowd found much that
was amusing in the show. The play
itself is very good. an interesting
bright and clever story being unfold
ed but the company that produced it
last night, excepting two or three of
the members, was of very in
ferior class indeed. Harry Todd made
n very good tramp, Robert Jackson as
lobe. the negro porter, was fine and
is entitled to much credit as a black
face comedian. The characters of
"Old Ezra" and Cynthia" were we'll
portrayed. Marguerite Lockwood
made a handsome Theresa Hampton.
She who tried to render the charac-
ter OF Josie Trumbull, the supposed
ly youthful waitress was the limit.
She certainly was in the wrong box
The part was forty years too young
for her. Her cheap and rough spec
ialty embodylng the pointing ont of
some gentlemen in the audience did
whole lot toward marring the sue
cess of the performance What a
stick Arthur Edgarton was. All in
all there was an abundance of rank
horseplay. Stin Abe and the tramp
kept the crowd laughing and many
of the defects of the show were thus
overlooked.
Friday night the beautiful play,
"A Royal Slave" known to be first
class and a pretty production, will
be seen at the Park and it is to be
hoped that as large an audience will
witness the meritorDus performance
as the one that went up against the
tramp show last night.

To DECORATE
FAIR WEEK
CITY'S DUTY
MAKE STREETS PRETTY
Every Business House Should Wear
Gala Attire COlOrs Red, White
and Blue-PriZe Offered For
the Best Effect.

Grand Junction should wear a
pretty dress all next week. The an
nual week of fun and pleasure should
be designated by handsome decora-
lions along all the principal streets
of the city.
1t is hoped that every business man
will see that his place of business is
decorated in the official colors of the
flag. which will be the national colors
and easily obtainable, red, white and
blue.
Every store. every business house
of every kind, every Office and as
many of the residences as possible
should display decorations. 1t is
especially urged that Main street and
the other streets in the business sec
ton. be profusely decorated,
Let the visitors know that we real
ize that the week is one devoted to
pleasure, Let the old town put her
best foot forward. Let her wear a
bright and happy look. Let her APP
pearance demonstrate beyond doubt
that fair week is a big week. jolly
week in the old town.
1t is very probable that at the
meeting of the board of directors of
the fair association this afternoon a
handsome premium will be offered to
the business house or office that pre-
SCENTS the prettiest decorations during
fair week. 1t will probably be cash
premium. This should cause con-
test that will bring out many beau
tiful and unique decorations.
Let everybody do his or her part
toward making Grand Junction pref
tier and more attractive during fair
week than ever before. 1t will be
matter of satisfaction to the home

Such A CHANCE
RARELY OFFERED

Our property, seven full claims, is
located in the Sinbab valley. in the
foot hills of the La Sale mountains
in the extreme southwest corner of
Mesa county, colorado. The strike
extends northwest by southeast, is in
the carbonacious shales, blue lime
being the country rock, with quartz
tiles and eruptive periphery between
walls. The deposit is mostly an
aqueous crystalization, consisting of
sulphates, oxides and carbonates in
contact or separated with blue lime
The vein varies from to 3 feet in
width and extends the length of the
entire property. Assays run from
10 per cent copper and 10 ounces in
silver to so per cent copper and 200
ounces of silver, besides about s3,-
so in gold. and fine indication of
cess of 10 per cent copper and co
ounces of silver. We have prospect
ed said property the entire length,
having spent many thousands of dol
lars, and find that the vein contin-
ues to hold its value and increases in
wealth as it goes down. A fine vein
of carbonate of iron, within our own
lines, parallels it below and an ex-
cellent measure of lime above. These
are the oily nuxes needed to reduce
this ore. Plenty of water power
near at hand and an abundance of
fuel. The only impeachment to the
successful operation of these mines,
even when their products are very
low, was the lack of transportation.
decided to part with limited amount
of treasury stock, for the purpose of
constructing ore roads and putting
in the necessary machinery.
One-third of all the stock was
placed in the treasury so that we will
always have sufficient means to
bridge any necessary expense. but
only a small block is offered at this
time, as we are confident that as soon
as we have transportation facilities
that the mines will Immediately place
themselves on a paying basis. now
that the price of their products have
nearly doubled.
This is an opportunity to get in on
the ground floor with the original
owners, who have borne the heat and
burden of the day in times past, when
prospecting rock cost money.
Secure some of this rock and aid
in developing one of the greatest cop
per producing propositions known to
exist in the United States, and watch
your bank account grow and the
stock go up as the shaft goes down.
We will be glad to have our property
inspected at any time, as it will much
more than bear out any of these
statements. But don't neglect to
come in and reap with US, us there
are thousands of tons of high grade
ore ready to ship as soon as this road
can he completed. and the harvest
will be great.
Treasury stock Is now offered at
l 5cents per share. owing to the great
necessity for this road. When we
have accomplished that the stock
must Immediately advance, as the
mines will at once become a paying
proposition, which means at least so
cents for the stock. Now is the time
to help us and yourself, and this is
the last offer at this price.

which some one can certify tot will
be Immediately useful and it will not
be long before some original observa-

which permit the exchange of the most
useful thoughts.

you have but the one house, while IL
you exchange an idea for an idea you
