ROCK ISLAND ExHIBIT
 cM
Coming to Drinl[ley on Oct. 10th. Ps0pIs of Monroe Ceun4y Invited 0 See
 lt FKEEl

Notice has been received in this city of the coming visit of the Frisco and Rock Island exhibit car in charge of agricultural and horticultural com missioner White of that great system.
 The object of the coming Is to in terest. encourage and instruct the farmers and tand owners of this sec ton in diversified farmings. which has proven 50 very valuable to other sec tions. Wherever the farmers and land owners have responded to this effort on their behalf the results have been astonishing. Sections where the crop was once the regular year round cotton and corn, have adopted the di- versIfied crop plan and to-day these are absolutely the richest farming sacttons of the south, their lands hav- ing doubled in valuations and pro- gressiveness.
 Thro the kindness of the manage n,snt of the Black Opera House that house was rendered Commissioner White to address the people of this section at l:3O o'clock Tuesday after tf .r noon Oct. 18th and every farmer and land owner of this section of Eastern Arkansas are especially invited to De present and hear him tell of the way this plan Is accomplishing such splen- did results in other sections of this and other states. Commissioner White and the Exhibit Car will arrive here at II o'clock on Tuesday morn- ing, Oct. 10th and the car will be open to any and all visitors from that time until 6:l8 o'clock that evening. except during the address of Commissioners White at the Opera House beginning at 1 50 o'clock. It Is to be hoped that the business men and land own CTS of this section will take hold of this matter as the fruits of this labor by the railroads in other sections has brought thousands of dollars and greatly improved conditions in every way.
 There Is no charge. whatsoever. It's an FREE.
 This help from the railroads has made other cities and sections. Lets take hold of t. Let every man, woman and child in this section go sec the Exhibit Car and hear Commiss- ioper White at I:3o o'clock that af- ternoon at the Opera House.

TELLURIDE NOTES.

From the journal.
Brakeman Nichols, injured in the
Lizard Head wreck, is back at Ridg
way from the Salida hospital and is
stopping at home. He can get around
on crutches but seems hopelessly par
alyzed in one leg which he has lost
the use of entirely.
Brakeman Gibbs, who was injured
Ia the freight wreck on the Lizard
Head trestle several week ago, and
who was first taken to Durango and
then to Salida for treatment. came in
from the north last evening and went
south this morning. Gibbs says that
neither he nor Nichols jumped at the
time OF the wreck; that he sat on one
side OF the cupola in the caboose
Nichols on the other and Conductor
Brown was at his desk on the floor of
the caboose. He Is pretty sore yet,
but Will get around and at work soon.
The little babe of Mr.. and Mrs. v.
u Rodgers, who was hurriedly taken
out to Denver last week on account
OF sickness. did not reach there any
too soon. as Doctor Van Meter, spe-
cialist, pronounced his case incarcer-
ated hernia in a mild form and oper-
ated on the child for 1t as soon as he
was prepared by special treatment
for the operation. and while at 1t an
other operation for a local derange-
ment was performed. Last evening
Vine came home and said the little
fellow went through the operations
nobly and his recovery is sure and
will be effected much sooner than
one of more mature years; that he is
doing Just a. we'll as any one possibly
ccull.

CONGRESSIONAL.

No matter what the local fight in
Colorado, large majority of the peo-
pie agree that the state should be
represented in the halls of congress
by Republicans. The Republicans
have made three excellent selections
Bonynge Is a sure winner because the
voters OF the First desitrlct know
him to be true blue In the Second
district the nominee Of the party may
not be as well known to the voters as
Mr.. Bonynge in his district, but one
thing sure, he is of the same kind of
goods and when the people come to
know him they will be pleased to do
him honor by sending him to Wash
ington by large majority. We have
reference to the Hon. Warren A.
Haggott of Idaho Springs who secur-
ed the nomination at Colorado
Springs to succeed Mr.. Hogg. Mr..
Haggott is no stranger to Colorado
voters. He served the state faithfui-
ly and loyalty as lieutenant governor
two years, occupying the gubenato-
rial chair on several occasions during
the absence OF Gov. Peabody. That he
Is possessed of the right kind of ag
gressivenes5 and push TO win his way
liz Washington his friends will vouch
for. Taking in consideration that the
Republicans have such n man and
the further fact that President Roos-
evelt should be given good working
majority of his own party is sufficient
justification for electing Mr.. Goggott
by rousing majority.
La Plata county will do her full
share.
AS to Gen. Geo. W. Cook, he is 3
noble warrior and praise in his cas-
is not needed. This will be fully ex
plotted by the thousands of Grand
Army men throughout the state who
will go to the polls with their wives
friends and neighbors and put in
ballot for his election. Later in the
campaign The Herald will fully In
form its readers about Mr.. Cook and
the reasons for his election.

Yesterday was called Veterans
day, the old soldiers of the North and
South joining in the parade and
campfire in the afternoon. Their
members of course were few, which
made them appreciate the distinction
all the more of having day named
for them.
The parade was headed by the Du-
range band, followed by the old sol
diers, citizens in carriages and In
dams on horseback Bo Dale was
aide to the marshal of the day.
After the parade there was chick
en- pulling contest, foot race and
horse races in the main street by In
dams.
This finished, there was left a little
time for strolling around town and

The Navsjos danced on platform
in the street at 3 o'clock. Each brave
taking part carried cedar post and
they werc piled up and great bon

lighted without this, along each side

The merry-go-round is doing a
slashing business. Mr.. Crawmer, of
the San Juan bottling works Of Du-

and is giving his personal attention
to 1t. The Indians delight in riding
the little wooden horses as well as
the children, and the merry-g o-round
runs about ten hours day with al
ways a rider on every horse.
Yesterday afternoon distressing
accident happened. Ruley Johnson, a
little boy. went to jump on as the
merry-go-round was stopping. He
fell and had both legs caught be-
tween the part that goes around and
the stationary piece that covers the
cable. A big bolt had to be unscrew-
ed before he could be released. He
was bleeding at one knee and both
pants legs were badly torn. 1t looked
like both legs must have been brok-
en-. The little fellow did not whim'
per after his first cries for help. He
insisted he was not hurt and objected
to being taken to doctor. He was
placed on ms feet, but could not
walk, and then a man picked him up
and carried him to young DR.. Nc
Even, who found the knee cap of the
lett leg broken on. Had the merry
go-round been running at full speed
both legs would have been mangled
After that guard was nailed over
