A DeIi0htfuI Performance

The comic operetta penelope"
given by the n embers of st. Stephen s
choir at the opera house Wednesday
night, was very successfully produced
large crowd was in attendance and
was very highly pleased with the bill,
as was attested by the outburst of APP
plause all through the program.
The superb acting of our home
talent came rather as a surprise to
the audience as it was feared that a
comic opera as heavy as penelope"
could not be successfully produced by
people other than talented profession
ais But all doubt was removed when
individually and collectively the mem
bers participating carried themselves
like veterans all the way through the
lengthy program and whose accuracy
in rendition showed long and continued
practice.
1t is needless to say that if the
members OF st. Stephens choir de-
eide to give other performances in the
future that they will receive a most
liberal patronage.

Branch of nOffdt Road

The Rocky Mountain railroad which
is to reach from the Moffat road at
CRANKY to the mines around Grand
Lake, Is now certainty. Contracts
for construction were last week let to
R. W. McQueary and he started i'm
mediately for Denver to purchase tents,
plows, scrapers, etc. and will begin
work at once There is also talk of
extending the road on to Walden, thus
tapping the heart of the North park
country. The great northwestern part
of the state is going to develop rapid
ly from this on, and when the Moffat
road and its numerous feeders get to
carrying out the product of ranch and
mine people will wonder why some one
did not open this vast storehouse of
wealth years ago. Steamboat Pilot.

STRAWBERRY DAY
COMES With RUSH
People Crowding Into City by Hun
dredS and a Record Breaking
Crowd is Predicted

Strawberry Day is with us again in
all its glory and people are pouring
into the city this morning by the
hundreds. 1t is the geneal opinion
that there will be more people here
today than have even visited Glenwood
before on like occasions.
Leavdille, Grand Junction, Aspen
and Redstone are especially well
represented as the bands from these
cities have brought big cowds with
them.
Everything is free in Glenwood to-
day-free berries free baths, free
dances, etc. At II O'Clock the ladies
at the opera house will open the doors
to the public and until 2 in the after
noon everybody is invited to come and
partake of the delicious strawberries,
cream and cake the fair sex have pre-
pared for the occasion.
From o'clock until 4 in the after
noon the big swimming pool is at the
service of our visitors free of charge
and it is hardly necessary to say this
will afford lot of our visitors several
hours of pleasant enjoyment.
The big baseball game between
Aspen and Glenwood will start prompt
ly at o'clock and is the only amuse-
ment on the program where an admis.
sion fee will be charged. But lovers
of the sport will not mind spending
fifty cents to see game between two
teams that are undoubtedly the strong
est mines in this part of the state. If
you want to have some fun don t miss
the ball game.
At night there will be two big free
dances. One at the opera house and
an open air dance on Grand avenue.
The Redstone orchestra will furnish
the music for the dancers at the opera
house while local band will play for
the street dance.
Again. do not leave Glenwood to-
night thinking the amusement is
ended for tomorrow there will be q
broncho bucking contest and all that
goes with it at the race track. Rich
Thomson of Aspen will be the prin-
ciple rider and to see Rich give an ex-
hibition of his skill is worth the price
of admission alone There will also
be another game Of baseball between
Aspen at Glenwood in the morning so
there will be plenty to attract your
attention during Sunday.

FATALLY CRUSHED
UNDER WHEELS
Was Asleep on the TrdCk--No One
Responsible for the Accident
Relatives in LeddvilIe

Wednesday evening as Sig Olson
was coming down the road on light
engine No. 526 he discovered an object
lying between the rails but a short
distance this side of the tunnel.
He first thought it an old coat or an
old rag of some kind but on coming
nearer he feared it might be human
being and at once reversed his engine
and did all in his power to stop at the
same time blowing the whistle while
the fireman kept the bell constantly
ringing. In spite of this noise the
object did not move and as the big en-
CINE came nearer it could be plainly
seen that the object which at first
looked like bunch of rags was really
a man. The engine was sliding down
the rails, the wheels being locked fast
and engineer and fireman, powerless to
prevent it saw it pass over the form
lying close to the north rail.
As soon as possible Mr.. Olson
jumped from the engine and ran for a
conveyance and the man was taken to
the county hospital where DR.. Crook
was called to attend him.
Although the mans head was cut
open exposing the brain he was con
scious and gave the doctor the address
of his relatives.
The fellows name is Fred Bronger
and he is a brother of Mrs. Cooper
whose husband is manager of the Hotel
Vendome at Leadvllle. Mrs. Cooper
arrived IN Glenwood Thursday morn
ing and removed her brother to the
private residence of j. NJ Schwartz
and procured trained nurse to take
care of him and at this writing he is
still alive, although physicians hold
out but little hore for his recovery.
There is no fault whatever attached
to the Rio Grande road or to Mi. Ole
son although the latter is very much
broken up over the affair. Bronger
was either intoxicated or else was
sleeping off an unnatural stupor due to
the use of drugs.

Death After LOnq Illness

The death of Mrs. Inez Barber oc-
Cured about 5 o clock Tuesday after,
noon and the funeral was held Thurs
day afternoon from the Catholic
church. Interment in Rosebud Gem
etery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barber came to Glen
wood from Aspen over two years age
since which time the lady has been a
hopeless invalid and constant sufferer
and has been gradually wasting away
and dying by slow and painful degrees.
Her condition has completely baftied
the combined efforts of the physicians
and death certainly came as relief
to the poor sufferer.
During all her illness her faithful
husband remained constantly at her
side wearing away his own vitality
that he might comfort and sustain the
dying wife.

Birthday Surprise Party

DR.. w. W. Crook had birthday
Thursday. He had forgotten all
about it but Mrs. Crook prepared a
pleasant reminder by telling the Elks
about it and they gathered at the
Crook home in the evening and then
the doctor was called by phone and in
formed that a woman was very sick
next door to his house Rushing up
the street putting like steam engine
he was about to pass his house when
Mrs. Crook who was sitting on the
porch induced him to step inside. Up
to this time all had been darkness
within but as soon as he stepped inside
the lights were teurned on and he was
greeted with "Whoa Bill" from every
direction. He fell into a chair and
it was several minutes before he re-
covered sufficient to appreciate the
joke. Cards were then brought out
and the evening passed very pleasantly
Mrs. Crook servrd tempting luncheon
at / o'clock after which the crowd
dispersed warming the doctor that he
must show better nerve next time.

Vitality of Alfalfa Seed

"A remarkable test of the vitality
of alfalfa seed is reported in Bulletin
No. 40 of the Colorado Agricultural
Experiment Station. 1t is generally
considered that seed must be perfectly
new in order to come up freely. In
Bulletin No. 80 of the Experiment
Station some tests were given of seeds
ranging from one to six years old.
DR.. Headden has retained samples of
the same seed and tests have been
again made when the seed has been
from eleven to 81 >teen years old, and
the tests have shown that from 80 to
SO per cent terminated. The screen
ings showed less vitality. the first
quality of screening running from sc
to 70 per cent second quality, Be
pei cent. and third quality, 40 pei
cent.

Last Months Weather

Except in the matter of precipita-
ton the month OF May behaved in
normal manner, the mean temperature
of 63 degrees being just what it should
be as shown by the records of previous
years. The total precipitation was
only so of an inch, which fell short
of the usual volume by over an inch.
There was but little cold weather dur.
ing the month, the lowest recorded be-
ing 36 on the nights Of the LIST and 7th
There was no frost at all and the fruit
trees had good chance to set their
heavy loads of fruit. The day tenn
peratuies averaged 10 degrees and the
nights AZ degrees showing an average
daily range of 32 degrees. The month
was also unusually clear for spring,
there being twenty four clear days, six
partly CLOUDY, and but one without
sunshine.

New Plaster Mill for GIeRwood

In Rock Products under date of
May 90, 1905. we notice that the great
hard wall plaster producers of the
country assert that they are full of
business with every plant being oper'
ated up to the limit of capacity and
with volume of orders from the sup
ply dealers throughout the country
which guarantees that all the stock
that will be produced will go into the
consumption of this years building
operations. The specifications for the
large building undertaking of the pres
ent year show Il gain for hard wall

plaster over that of any previous year
The development of the Gypsum or
hard plaster business of this country
has been phenomenal within the last
decade and the steady popularity of
Gypsum denotes that it is unquestion-
ably founded upon the merit of the
material for every kind of building
operation. The Roaring Fork Plaster
company expects to make very high
grade standard cement plaster from
its Gypsum deposits up the Roaring
Fork as all the tests made SC far prove
it to be of superior quality.
At Beverly, about four miles from
Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Acme
Cement Plaster company mine their
Gypsum through shaft over 60 feet
in depth, carving out great alleys and
rooms under the surface of the earth
radiating for hundreds of feet from
the foot of the shaft. The mine is
lighted by electricity and tram roads
penetrate to every part of the mine.
are now contemplating lowering the
shaft to another vein of Gypsum which
is known to lie below that which has
already been developed.
The Roaring Fork Plaster company
has the Gypsum right on the surface
of the earth, handy to transportation
and will have n very decided adyau-
tage over most any other company
operating. They will soon open an
office in Glenwood Springs and expect
TO have their mill completed and in
operation by the first of the year or
sooner.

A Warning to Farmers

Alfalfa is the first thing on the
ranch to show green in the spring and
it is great temptation to turn the
cows on it as soon as it is big enough
to eat. Look out or you will have
some dead ones. Keep them off when
the plants are young and particularly
when wet. 1t is very dangerous to
turn cows on alfalfa if they have been
kept on dry feed all winter as they
will gorge themselves on the young
forage until disgestion is suspended,
fermentation and bloat sets in, which
in aggravated cases causes death.
Remedies for ho.en or bloat are we'll
known but unless the pasture is near
the house, where The animal distress
is observed early in the trouble, it
will probably die before help arrives
A good big dose OF common cook
ing soda will relieve mild case.
Some use common rubber garden
hose, well CREASED and forced down
the throat, as probang, to allow the
escape of the gas. Others tie broom
stick as a rowel in the mouth to hold
it open, while in severe cases the knife
or trocar must be used. The best way
to prevent the trouble is to first give
the cattle a good fill and allow them
on the alfalfa only long enough to
get few bites. -Carbondale Item.

The locals were entertaind Sunday
by the Aspen team at the ball park
and the Pets walked away with the
long end of a 10 to 3 score.
The game, however, was much
better exhibition than the score testi j.
fies, as the Aspen boys came precious
near sending men over the rubber at
several stages of the contest. But
Hogart was very effective when men
were on bases and either struck the
batters out or forced them to make
easy inield outs.
The Aspen team is undoubtedly the
strongest aggregation of ball players
that have struck Glenwood this year,
and if the team they put in against
Glenwood today is stronger than last
Sundays bunch there will be a cou-
pie of games to read about.
The following is the score:

GENERAL MANAGER
RIDGWAY RECEIVES
Citizens of GIenwOOd Interview
High Official of Rio Grdnde
Road in CIty's Behalf

General Manager A. c Ridgway
passed through Glenwocd last Wed
nesday in his private car, being on
tour of inspection over his ros.d. A
number of Glenwood's business men
gathered at the parlors of the Hotel
Glenwood and decided to make the
gentleman a call and interview him
concerning some of Glen woods needs
and solicit some cooperation from this
pioneer railroad along the line of
greater things for Glcnwood and sur
rounding country.
1t was agreed that the most desir-
able of all would be a division at
Glenwood and this was the burden of
the song to Mr.. Ridgway. Mr.. Park
son started the ball rolling by inquir-
ing if MIR. Ridgway had railway
division in his pocket and was in
formed that he was little short on
divisions at present but would see
what could be done in the matter. 1t
was then explained that Glenwood was
very DESTROYS of securing the division
which is now located at Minturn. The
committee received but little encour-
agement along this line.
A branch line from Somerset in
the North Fork country to connect
with the Carobndale branch through
the Crystal River at Placita was sug-
gested but Mr.. Ridgway said he knew
nothing as to the feasibility of such a
project as he was not advised as to
the topography between those points.
and this would have to be considered
Mr. Ridgway was asked if some
plan could not be agreed upon whereby
the Midland trains could use the Rio
Grande depot and both use the same
way said he had taken that matter up
with Mr. Vallery and had suggested
that the Midland come down over the
Rio Grande tracks from the crossing
of the two roads about 10 miles up the
Roaring Fork and that the trains either
be combined from here west or that
both trains use the Rio Grande track.
He thought in time all objections to
this plan might be removed.
He Informed the com mittee that a
large station sign for Glenwood had
been ordered and would soon be ready
When told that if the Moffat road con
nected with the Grande at Dotsero the
people of Glenwood would expect a
division at this point instead of Dot
sero he said that matter could prob
ably be arranged although he had no
authority to speak for the Moffat road
Mr.. Ridgway said what Glenwood
need was manu- featuring or other in,
dustries that would employ a numb
of men all the time. When informed
that plaster plant was about to be
erected up the Roaring Fork, although
not on his road, he seemed very unset
fish about the matter and said it would
be splendid thing for Glenwood any
way
Mr.. Ridgway received his visitors
most cordially and assured them that
his company felt very much interested
in Glenwood and would always be
ready to do anything possible to ad
vance our material interests.

the ball was recovered the popular

Hogart has struck out 80 batsmen in
three games, allowed II hits, made
one error out of ten chances and Sc
cured two singles and two two baggers
out of nine times up, Pretty fine
record, that.
Nearly one half the crowd in the
grandstand Sunday were ladies. This
shows how popular the great national
game is becoming in Glen wood. There
is no prettier sight on earth than a
grandstand full of ladies at a ball
game.
We play Aspen today and tomorrow
and from the present outlook there 8

Glenwood's ball team is keeping up
its winning streak and the hot water
town is supporting the boys in fine

be ready to back up Glenwood against
little old Chicago or New York any
time they care to come west. A fair
sized crowd turned out Sunday to see
the Aspen Juniors try their luck
Happy was too strong for them and
had fine support, consequently the
Aspen boys had to content themselves
with couple of runs. Mel6 pitched
the best game of his life and held the
