then proceeded to nominate candi-

city officials, who have served the
CITY so efficiently during the past
two years, were nominated by ac-
clamation.
The present indications are that
there will be but one ticket in the
field. for which all good citizens who
have the welfare OF La Junta at

I At well attended meeting of citi.
zens of La .Junta held in the city
hall Thursday evening the excellent
ticket named above was unanimous
ly placed in nomination for the en-.
suing spring election. If there was
dissenting voice the owner thereof
did not make his wants and wishes
known. The meeting was a repre-
sentative one and included every
class, faction ard creed that in times
past have lined themselves up in
battle array in city election contests.
There seemed TO be- unanimous
sentiment in favor of the announced
purpose of the meeting of getting
together and placing one ticket in
the field, and avoid if possible the
nard feelings and i'll win always en-
gendered in q fierccly waged city
election spasm.
The meeting was called to order
bv DR.. a. l.. Stubs. who stated the
object and purpose. On motion DR..
Stuhbs was unanimously chosed to
officiate as chairman. and S. w.
Brown secretary The most nota-
BILE feature of the assemblage was
the conspicuous absence of every one
of the present city officials. and the
further fact that although c. l..
Seeley was among those present he
had not word to say from start TO
finish.
Addresses were made by V. Al
bera. c. w. Wonderlv, r. c. Todd
and others. all of whom expressed
themselves as being in sympathy
with the object of the meeting and
if possible avoid the usual scrap.
On motion of K. c. Todd COM
mittee of five was appointed on
platform. and the chair named the
following: NJ. F. Miller. K. c.

the committee were in favor Of mu-
nicipal ownership of the lighting
plant, but when it was shown that
the present bonded Indebtedness of
the city made this impracticable the
compromise section incorporated in
the platform was agreed upon. The
report Of the committee on platform

The Friendly Cottonwood.

fnllp Eastman In the World Today.
One of the largest cottonwoods in the
west was cut down not long ago in Ray
county, Missouri. 1t measured sixty-f1ve
feet from the ground to the first knot,
and made more than 5000 feet of lum-
Der. One of the largest and finest speci-
mems is in the capitol grounds at To-
peka. 1t was a seeding which started
in 1863, when the first wing Of the
state house was being erected. 1t was
spared from the scythe n in twenty
five years attained a growth which
gave it's top a spread Of over 100 feet.
This tree was a great favorite with the
late senators from Kansas. John j..
Ingalls, and Preston B. Plumb, and it
is as dear to the hearts OF the Jay
hawkers" as is the Washington elm to
the people Of Cambridge for the Twen-
tieth Kansas regiment Of volunteers not

drouths. 1t is q fast growing tree and
demands plenty Of light. On irrigated
lands cottonwoods have been known
to attain q diameter OF fourteen inches
in eight years.
The cottonwood is extremely easy to
cultivate from seed. cuttings. layers or

Ing them is from the natural nurser-
les which spring up along the sandbars
of the western rivers. These nurseries
are killed each year by inundation from
the high waters. but they are also re.
newed annually by the seed floating on
the water. A thousand with roots in-
tact can be pulled out Of the sandbars,
in the fall. in an hour. These seedlings
are often planted closely together In
burrows and In this manner several
thousand can be planted in a day by
two men using q team and plow.

A New Don Quixote.

one Of the tributaries of the Rhine,
has enjoyed the reputation Of harbor-
ing a ghost for more than 800 years.
The Villagers lately were Mortified to
notice a light shining from one of the
Ing Of it. and as night after night
passed and h lighted window was
visible and always at the same time,
an unspeakable terror seized them.
They decided to do nothing until the
priest returned from a visit he was
paying TO Coblenz.
The priest arrived and was told
about the mysterious light in the win
dow. There was no doubt about it..
He saw 1t himself and at once deter
mined on action.
Being prudent, he thought he would
get assistance. In a n~eighboring viii
lsgc there was a Lutheran pastor,
whose aid he requested.
The two c%lergyInen enlisted three or
four stout youths, ard together they
planned a visit to the castle, the priest
armed with holy water and a crucifix,
the pastor with a bible.
Without noise, but with beating
hearts, they reached the castle. and the
priest. being the bravest of the party.
scrambled up to the window and
looked in.
A lamp burned on the wall and on
a chair in the middle Of the ruinous
space sat a man in full chain armor
porting over q book. Beside him was
a horse, fully panoplied in the style
Of the middle ages. with lance and
sword suspended from the saddle.
TO make q long story short, the
visitors speedily recognized the knight.
He was a poor. distraught gentleman
of the neighborhood, who believed him
self a knight. and used this method
of tmmersing himself in the usages
and life OF the days gone by. What
his precise plans were have not tran
spired. but the priest thinks that had
he not been taken care Of by his
friends n conveyed to an institute
for the mentally inflrm he would have
started out as a second Don Quixote
to redress the grievances Of the coun-
trysids.
