Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Bagby certainly
have musical quartette of girls. As
noted in these columns, the two old
est girls graduated from the Chicago
Musical college two or three years ago
with high honors and are now teaching
in Chicago with splendid results. And
now Miss Georgia enters the field,
having graduated from the same mus
ical college the latter part of June
with equally high honors. Miss
Georgia will remain in Chicago and
follow her chosen profession. The
youngest girl is at home completing
her grammar school education, and
as she probably leads all the others
In classical music at her age she will
no doubt follow the example of her
sisters in mastering the art. Miss
Clara Vandegrift, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Giles T. vandergrift, who attend
ed musical school in Virginia two
years ago. was pupil the past year
at the Chicago institution, receiving
a teachers certificate in June. but we
understand she will continue her stud
les another year.

STOPS TRAIN TO COLLECT DEBT.

. iOFo hRlN ~ COLGGSi LED =
Fort Scott, Kan, July 13.-Robert
Walton, a Vernon county, Missouri
farmer. delayed the Missouri Pacific
passenger train on the line crossing
his arm for half an hour by refusing
to get off the track. Walton took this
novel method of attempting to collect
claim against the company.
SLme time ago the same train with
the same crew killed three mules and
a horse belonging to Walton. He filed
no claim. but waited as long as he be-
lieved was a reasonable time for the
company to settle with him. The
company, having failed to make any
move in the matter, he mounted a
horse last night and stood en- the
track as the train appeared. The en-
gineer whistled, but Walton kept his
place, waving his hand to stop the
train. 1t was necessary to remove
him by force before the train could
proceed.

fine lands this week, and went down
the canon yesterday with Mr.. Boz
man. There are a vast number of
people in the Grand valley who will be
here later and look us over, and they
will be farmers of careful training
and experience. Land here is finely
adapted to continue the work of the
Grand valley. and is not out of reach
in price. Twenty dollars per acre
buys fine fruit or grain ranch here,
which makes 1t a paying proposition
for those men to unload their high
priced land and buy better article
at much lower figure. And that is
what they will do.-Cortez Journal

Austrian Woman
Attempts Suicide

Crazed by remorse and bodiiy suf-
fcring q, the result of loving well but
not wise v. n young woman, employed
as Wi itress in one of the Austrian
boardin,; houses, opposite the depot,
left hei room and started toward the
river ith the evident intention Of
committing suicide. She was overtak-
en- befo,e she reached the river and
taken back to the boarding house.
search OF her room disclosed the
fact that she had given birth to a
baby. the dead body of which was
found between two mattresses. That
the babe had been horn about forty
eight hours previous and had lived
some time after its birth, is the opin-
ion OF physicians.
The woman had no attention of any
kind. in fact the people of the house
state they knew nothing of her con-
dition. Whether the baby died from
neglect or was put ont Of the way
is a question that will probably not
be answered.
The woman was taken to Mercy
hospital where she is in a critical
condition because of neglect
For reasons best known to them
selves neither the authorities nor the
people OF the house care to devulge the
name of the woman or the man in
the case, who they state is married
and has family in the old country.
How the people of the house can
satisfactorily explain their claim that
they knew nothing of the giIfs con
ha frtl aE
child does not appear very plain to
one of an inquiring mind. AS wait
Iess her services were required every
day and her failure to appear for two
days, without their making inquiry
and ascertaining the cause of her alb
sence from her duties doesn't look
right on the face of it.
There is something wrong with the
story. A great crime has been com
mitted and the matter should be sifted
to the very bottom and no lienency
shown to the man who is responsible
for the girls downfall and probable
death.
We are Informed that the name OF
the man is known to the authorities.
The fact that he is a married man and
mas ldnlliy-peTnaps uauSnteIS-
makes his crime more culpable, if pos
sihle, than were he a single man.
In the cause of justice and morality
the man who is responsible for that
crime should be punished to the full
est extent of the law. For the pro
lection of young wcmanhood such men
should be hunted down and punished
No matter if the unfortunate woman
is ignorant and of lowly station, she
is woman and is entitled to the pro
tecting arm of the law and of every
man who believes in the chastity and
purity of womanhood
Coroner Lefurgey is holding an in
quest over the body of the dead baby
this afternoon, at which, We trust
the true facts of the case will be made
known.

The other day heard a mother call
her son from fascinating game in an
xy-Z voice, saying, johnnie. go and

ent. looked sullen and rebellions. but
ambled off at a snails pace after the

b'leeve in yomguns doing their duty
'ithout bein' paid fur it,
And this. alas, is a popular view
among parents who are laboring un-
der the misapprehension that they
own children. 1t is perhaps unfor-
tunate. but child does not quite
grasp the monumental duty he has in
herited toward the pair who have
brought him into the world without
asking his choice in the matter, and
the beauties of doing right or per
forming duty for duty's sake, do not
impress him greatly. But he is a
blessed little human entity, with more
wisdom than you can ever guess, and
you can reach him through absolute
Justice sooner than in any other way.
So, when the task seems great to the
little man offer him compensation. The
sooner he learns that he will receive
something tangible for his perform
ance of duty. the sooner will he be-
come diligent in that direction, like
unto his elders, who operate entirely
upon a system of rewards, either spir-
itual or material.
Yes. teach your child that rosy
apple hangs for him at the top of
the tree of duty rather than that a
cruel switch grows there with which
he shall be scouraged for delinquency.
Duty is only aluring to the advanced
soul. who comprehends the fact that
through the performance of duty, and
right for rights sake, his highest spir-
itual development is accomplished. To
any other. duty is like a weary old
treadmill horse, and Madame Duty
must ever purchase here need of af-
lection.
Then why not reward the child. to
whom the material gifts of earth are
attractive, for love of duty is n soul
growth that must come with expert
ence.
And teach your child to be good
through promise of heaven-never
through threat of hell. Love. har-
mony and hope are the forces that
guide upward with compelling
strength. Threats Of evil and punish
ment arouse only the lower nature
rebellion, deception and doubt
What do YOU think about 1t?
Those who have never had any chill
GTen will please not all speak at once.

THIS SECTION AHEAD.

|
Last week while coming down the
valley on the train we travelled part
of the distance with the travelling pas
senger agent of the ID. & II. G. After
travelling a distance and looking at
the fruit on the trees, he remarked
that he had seen more fruit in his
trip down this valley than he had
seen in all his travels over the line.
He said there was only one other sec
ton that could compare with us and
that was a small territory that was
all in fruit and where the owners
all smudged during the cold weather.
Fruit dealers have expressed the
same sentiment after visiting this sec
tion. This week the editor had a let
ter from dealer in the southeast part
of the territory to which he said all
their apples were killed and wanted
to know about getting a supply from
this section.
We are undoubtedly the most ia
vored of all the fruit growing sec
tions OF the Rocky mountain region.
which is to say in the United States,
for quality and quantity and certainty
OF crops considered the fruit sections
of the Rocky mountains are the very
best.
This fact will become more and
more known as the season passes and
should and will rebound to our great
benefit. A thought here suggests it
sefl. Every person who ships box
of fruit this fall should put in with
the pack slip telling it is from San
Juan county, New Mexico. the ban
ner fruit section of the world.
