Aeeiaestsl Death ol A. n Jacksos,
Lsadisg ed Highly RstsemeA
Busla0ss Han.

Death has been swinging his sickle
with a more than usually ruthless
hand in our midst of late and per.
haps the most widely known Of his
victims Is A. N. Jackson. one of
Rocky Ford's best known business
men. Mr.. Jackson's death was the
result of serious accident that befell
him on Friday of last week. while
experimenting the removal OF one OF
the Lockhart Row OF houses from its
situation west OF town to a location
on ranch some distance to the
southwest. Mr.. Jackson was climb
ing upon one of the four heavy trucks
that carried the building. when the
six horse team attached started up.
and he was thrown under the wheels.
He was brought to his home in town
and medical attendance promptly OBJ
tanned, but the injuries were so ser
ious that he only lived n hours after
the accident. His death came as .
shock to not only his family and I'M
mediate friends, but to the commun.
ity at large in which he had such
wide business Acquaintance. AZ the
hour appointed for the funeral. Tues:
day afternoon. the business houses OF
the city closed and an immense con.
course OF the townspeople gathered
at the home to show respect to hts
memory. Many from the country
were also in attendance. among them
not 4 few Of that new element OF our
population, the Russian peasantry.
from the beet fields. and many en-
tloyes from the sugar factory. show
ing the very general respect IN which
he was held.
Mr.. Jackson came here from Mich
igan quite carly in the history Of the
town and engaged in the coal. grain
and transfer business. and had grown
with the growth OF the community.
Five years ago he formed partner
ship with Mr.. J. Z. Lawson and un-
der the style Of the Jaekson-Lawson
Co. they have carried on an cxten.
sivc business in their line. Speaking
at his funeral. the officiating clergy
man. Rev. !. w. Davenport. very
tru,hfuily said OF the deceased: Wit
Messing the steady growth OF our ",
tic city, he identified himself with
every interest that made for its dc.
veiopment and gave his approval and
support to every endeavor TO make u
a better place in which TO live. Among
ms tcllOw Dusiucss uHcu uc "ss VS."
versaiiy respected and occupied
place Of high esteem with all who
knew him. Modest in profession and
kindly in spirit. he wrought much OF
which his friends knew little. In
charity and hcipfulness. the left hand
did no. always know OF the right
hands doings. A business man o! the
town had remarked TO the speaker
,ha. A. N. Jackson would be more
generally missed than any citizen
who had ief, Us for many years.
He was a man who delighted in
hi. home and was genial in social in
,ereoursc as he was in his business
relations. The bcrcavcd family. con-
sis,ing OF Mrs. Jackson. his daush-
ter Mrs. D. L. Joeneks. and young
son. Ronald. have a large circle of
friends who will mos; sincerely sym.
pa,hizc with them in the sudden and
painful separation.
Mr.. Jackson was born in Canaan
dasua. n. Y. state, and was IS years
of age.

The Richness Of the County Sur
rounding the New Town Of
Shslton.

Some time since Paul Kenne-
dy and the editor Of the Tribune
made Q trip to see the Holbrook
country and especially the environ.
ment Of the new and most hopeful
town Of Shelton. From the report Of
their trip we make the following ex-
tracts:
Shelton" Is laid out on = part OF
A. w. Shelton's ranch and is just
above the great Holbrook ditch. II
is on the line OF two new railroads.
and they already have their grades
built through the town. They arc
the Holly-Swink road and the Ar
kansas Valley line. Nov branches
OF the Santa Fe.
Immediately surrounding the town
site and extending along the two rail-
roads and the Holbrook ditch arc
tracts Of land ranging in area from
three to twenty acres. These arc
especially adapted to intensive farm
ing and will make ideal garden spots
and sites for homes at a small out
lay. This is what the promoters are
depending upon to more thickly set
tie the country and give support to
their new town. The soil is unex-
ceiied for the cultivation Of sugar
beets and eantaloupes. As has been
demonstrated by Mr.. Shelton.
Shipping facilities for crops are OF
the very best.
While there we visited the Shelton
pump house and saw the method OF
raising water for irrigation purposes
above the ditch. II is \ model gas
producer plant installed during the
past winter by the Oids Gas Power
company for Mr.. Sheison. The wat
er Is run by gravi,ation from the
Hoibrook canal into cistcrn from
which Il is pumped when needed At
the rate Of 1890 gallons per minute.
Through an underground pipe line.
the water is pumped up the slope 10
various vents. from which Il is dis
tribu,cd over the big tract OF fertile
land by the ordinary gravity ditch
methods. The plant is operated al
an insignificant figure and brings un.
der cultivation hundreds OF acres that
would otherwise be practically unpro-
ductive. There is no doubt but that
the system il success. for Il has
already been demonstrated to be so
by similar plants in that section and
by recent government tests. BY this
system not only Shelton. but thou
sands OF acres in the semi-arid re-
sions now lying above the dnehes.
will be reclaimed and put under cult.
vasion as the demand for agricultural
land grows.

O. B. Stauffsr Tells What BE- Know
Of the Great Advantages ol the
ROCKY Ford County.

The last issue OF The Earth. Chi
eago's widely circulated paper. has
the following letter from O. b.
Stauf{er. who writes only what he
knows from long residence In the
Rocky Ford country:
|. 6rst saw the Arkansas Valley
Jan. a. 1879. and have lived contin-
uously in the Valley with the ex-
ception Of about eighteen months. I
settled in the vicinity OF Rocky Ford
twelve years ago. | have lived here
since then and have noted the growth
of crops and OF the country. The
transformation is marvellous. 1t Is
almost beyond belief that q wild.
treelcss. watcrlcss country as the
Valley was thirty years ago. could in
this short period, be so changed that
il Is now the home of thousands OF
prosperous. happy. contcntcd people,
where the labor OF the husbandman
is bountifully rewarded.
The yield Of crops OF all kinds is
enormous when cultivated intelligent
iy. Think Of lands that could not be
sold as years ago for $3oo an acre,
and could be had from the govern
ment for the living on. now yielding
q gross income year after year Of
from $50 to S2so per acre. Reeollect.
reader. that as years ago almost all
OF this Valley was dreary waste.
now as you pass through you find
miles and miles Of Il almost one con.
tinuous garden. Those lands now
sell for from $50 to $500 per acre.
and consider them the cheapest
lands I know Of. Markets are good.
climate fine. and this country is un-
doubtedly destined TO be among the
richest and most prosperous in the
world. ! have no land to sell. neith-
er am l in the land selling business.

Rocky Ford Should Help Along .
Good Thing.

MA. Gallagcf. OF Denver. mem
bership secretary Of the Colorado

Rocky Ford visitor last week. He IS
engaged in working up an en'hnsi-
asm for advertising Colorado and is
certainly the right man in the right
place. This association has done
much in tho past TO bring the at
fractions OF our state before the
farmers of the cast. resulting in the
incoming Of much valuable immigra-
tion. Mr.. GallaHcr was seeking TO
secure members for the association.
but his time was too limited TO do
much work. When he comes again

How the Stomach Rules the Body.
When the Stomach Is We'll the Cure 0! Many

Some of the things that happen when Dr Richards's Dyspepsia Tablets are taken seem very strange Io a per son who has forgotten that the stom- ach is the starting point of all health. the starting point for most diseases and the starting point for the cure.
 There is nothing in Dr Richar,ls's Dyspepsia Tablets tO put one to sleep. yet sound. strength-giving sleep is one of the results Of using them. because they cure the cause of Sleeplessness.
 There is no ingredient in Dr Rich ards's Dyspepsia Tablets intended eSpe- cially of the cure of pimples. yet pim- pies often disappear after a short course of treatment.
 There is no drug tn Dr RicharsI<'s s Dyspepsia Tablets that acts directly on the heart. yet palpitstion. fiutter- ing. smOthering. all tie symptoms com m0nly called heart disease.- disappear completely as soon as the stomach iS set at work properly with the aid of these tablets.

Linonine is indeed wonderful medicine for children. We have sixteen children in the Danbury Home at present, and as many as six at tune have been attacked by sudden colds, barking coughs and crou py choking spells. but by a generous use of Linonine we have kept them all in school every day, and it has cured them in a very short time. Linonlne has been used in this institution for several years with unfailing sue. cess; and l take pleasure in rec omme nding it to mothers and those having children Tn their care.
