FINE HoLsTEIN STOCK.

Reuben M. Warner has herd of IL
Holstein cows, some of them being
registered stock. They have a record
hard to beat and he is justly proud of
them. From the II cows he is max
ing four and One-half cans of milk
each day, besides feeding four calves
with new milk and using all the new
milk he wants in his own family.
This proves that it pays to keep good
stock and to keep them we'll fed and
cared for as Mr. Warner does. We
strate this fact before and here is an
other example right to the point.

Charles Slocum, a travelling salesman,
and who has visited Sandy Hook for a
number of years, was nominated by the
democrats. for treasurer of Dutchess
county and did not know of his election
until he reached Canaan on his trip the
Wednesday following election. 1t
seems that Mr. Slocum thought that
there was no possibility of his being
elected and it was with the create st
reluctance that he allowed his name to
be placed on the ticket. So sure was
he Of defeat that he went to the polls
Tuesday morning, cast his vote and
started out on his route, Diminishing all
thoughts OF election. At Canaan on
Wednesday he was met by II. R. Whit
ford, who congratulated him on his
success. Mr. Slocum thought the con-
good-naturedly. Mr. ~sWhitford had
great difficulty in convincing Mr.
Slocum that he meant what he said
and when he finally became aware that
be had really been elected, he was the
most surprised man In the state. He
will resign his position on the road and
assume the duties of treasurer at the
expiration of the present treaSurer's
term. Mr. Slocum has covered the
smaller towns In the western part of
Connecticut and the eastern part of
New York state for e. y. De Pew &
Co., wholesale grocers of New York,
making most of the towns by team
Recently he made bis rounds ly auto
mobile. He has visited the stores of
Belts 8 Belts and Taylor, Curtis &
Co., In Sandy Hook every, three weeks
He did not expect an election as the
county is strongly republican.

W. D. DROPS INTO VERSE.

Election in this place passed off very
quietly. Owing to- land slide from
the democratic party in favor Of the re-
Preston. 1t seems that the whole
town slid and it was ali on one side
like the town Of FermGy. Owing to q
little delay about the returns OF the
duties OF tree warden and what he
has got to do to hold his Office, I will
give the readers of THE BEE an idea
Of his position:
The farmer holds an office, and he is
tickled most to death
To think he is holding something that
don't require much sweat. :,
1t is travelling round upon the roads,
when there's gentle breeze,
And shoe off all the chink bugs that
are Matching on the trees.
When the brush upon the highway
side is getting rather tall,
He notifies bis nefghbOrS to make them
very small.
And to cut off all the limbs from trees
that overhang the road,
SO as to let the teamSter pass with
out throwing him off his load.
He thinks he has as soft snap as any
man in town;
For when he's tired of standing up,
he's paid for sitting down.
There is nothing on the travelled road
the Farmer cannot see
And II the town don't do what's right,
You will hear it through The BEE.

'SRYED [lY LIFE

-That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time

that they are worthy of

Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm

it does through nourish-

DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR
The Reception Given Yesterday After
noon in Honor of the Woman's
Club Membership in Con-
nection with the
First Meeting.

The years work of the Grand
Junction Womans Club could not
have opened more pleasantly and
brilliantly than it did on yesterday
afternoon when Mrs. Leroy c. He'd
ses. president of the club, entertain
ed the ladies at her home on North
Seventh street, the occasion being
the first regular gathering of the or
ganization for the fall and winter
season of 19O6-7.
There We're present between forty
and fifty ladies and from half past
two O'Clock until late in the after
noon program of pleasant events
was thoroughly enjoyed.
The large reception hall of the
Hedges home was charmingly dec
Grated in red. the spacious parlor
shone in the colors, red and pink.
while the dining room yellow was
the predominating hue. Everything
was in harmony with the soft autumn
colors. and the effects were most
successful.
Mrs. Hedges, the hostess of the
afternoon was assisted in receiving
and entertaining by Mrs. James w
BuelIlin, Mrs. Charles Clark. Mrs. w
S, Wallace. Mrs. c. H. Arthur, Mrs
A. c. Newton. Mrs. c. L. Dyke and
Mrs. Walter Primrose.
Two of the principal events of the
program carried out We're the reports
of Mrs e. Il. Cole and Mrs. Frank
Remington Smith on the meeting of
the state federation at Pueblo last
week. These reports were interesting
and entertaining
An address by the president of the
club, Mrs. Hedges, was an enthusias-
tic outline of the plans and desires OF
the local club for the new years
work and was most heartily received
Mrs. Mary Robinson sweetly rem
dered at the piano the musical com
position for which she received the
prize offered by the state federation
Late in the afternoon an elaborate
buffet luncheon was served in hand
some style. The ices were made in
autumn colors. in perfect harmony
with the general color scheme.
Mrs. Hedges proved herself most
amiable and successful hostess and
this reception by the president in
honor of the members of the club will
be classsed as one of the brightest
social events marking the history OF
the Grand Junction club.

Is SHE DEAD?

Is Topsy Wood. the handsome
young COW girl whose love affairs
and troubles have brought her into
the lime light in western Colorado
during the past two months, dead or
alive?-is the question that has been
puzzling the people of Montrose. A
dispatch from Montrose states that
contradictory evidence increases daily
in the case of Miss Woods, whose
home is in Montrose and who was re-
ported to have committed suicide in
Salt Lake City a few days ago.
Her mother is said to have re
ceived a telegram several days ago
which read: Don't believe any bad
news you may receive. am alive
and well, Annie" Her mother. it Is
said. usually called her by this name.
1t is reported that Topsey went to
Goldield. New. in company with
woman known only as Hazel, who
drew $500 from local bank on the
day of their departure. Jack Full
with whom Miss Wood is said to have
been infatuated, lives near that city.
according to report.
These facts. which the police learn
ed to day. add color to the theory that
the telegram received by Marshal
Tnlery froma one Harry Leigh ask
ing for instructions as to the dispos-
al of her remains is a ruse of the girl
to avoid being tried on charge OF
attempting to poison Ed Kellar. a
prominent young ranchman of this
place She is now out on $500 bond
to appear for trial in November.
Miss Wood is known to have made
two trips to Salt Lake previous to
the last one for the purpose. it is al
legged, of trying to find Jack Full, a
former Montrose bartender.
Miss Wood is said to have been
married to a man named Jacy Hend
ricks of Telluride. but this cannot
be confirmed. No one knows where
her husband is If she ever had one.
