Alton, Ill. Dec. S.-The one best bet"
in Alton is that If a man asks girl to
marry him she will be sister to him,
that is, if she is member of the Bach
Tor Girls Club. 1t matters not If the
man be possessed of wealth beyond the
dreams of avarice, if he proposed just
now to an Alton "bacheior grip he
will be put ION the brotherhood list,
temporarily. at least.
The bachelor girls, whose aim in life
is to make men propose so that they
can reject them, have decided to give
silk dress worth $500 to the member
who can prove at the Leap Year ball
in January that she has refused the
most offers.
If the men do their duty as expected,
the bachelor girls figure that each will
have three new scalps to show when
the contest is decided. There are some
IA ale skeptics who scent trap and ask
Suppose propose, out Of good MAJ
ture, and the girl says 'yes?'

H,,,orv oil tne Lnurel,sriaade

The History OF Laurel Brigade, or lg
inally Ashby's CavaIsry, of which we
gave an advance notice some tim
since, has reached our table and we
J have read 1t with much pleas ure ano
profit. The work is by Captain VIII
liam N Mcdonald, ordinance officer
of the brigade, and edited by Bushrod
G. Washington. The volume contain;
$50 pages with an appendix of more
than hundred pages.
The wors was illustrated, printed
and bound by the Baltimore Sun job
office and bears the appearance char
acteristic of the output of that splen'
did establishment.
The book will be of great value to all
lovers of the true history of the greatest
OF all wars and especially to thgse who
followed the standard of the immortal
Lee and Jackson. 1t will be of par
ti:ular interest TO the people of the
valley where lay the scenes Of SO many
of the heroic deeds and gallant service
of the Laurel Brigade and which see
| ton furnished most of the excellent
soldiers omprising the command.
The appendix alone willproveof more
value to the old veterans who had the
honor of being enrolled in the brigade
than the cost of the entire work Ii is
, composed of complete and accurate
roll of all members of brigade by com
p4nies with officers as well as pri-
Yates and with the detailed Informs
ton as TO whether they are still living
their location if living and the dates
and laces were members were killed
or wounded.
The account of the battle of Kearns-
town contains tribute to the late Col /.
John Q. A. Nadenbousch, of Martins
burg, and the gallant men under his
command composed largely of Berke-
ley county men, of the heroic service
they rendered in supporting Ashby in
beating back and keeping ats bay the
Federal forces numbering many times
their own on the Confederate right
and thus giving Jackson the benefit of
nearly his entire force to COMBAT the
heavy odds on his right aud of their
bravery in defending the rear of Jack
sons army as it with drew up the val
ley.

A LESSON THAT SHOULD
BE WELL LEARNED HERE

Several people in Canon City, in
terested in the churches, are reading
with interest that sketch in the Lad
les Home Journal which deals with a
strangers experience as an attendant
at many churches throughout the
country. Tho various brands OF vel
come she received are not only inter-
esting, but teach a great lesson in
church sociability.
It's a lesson that comes right
home. How many Canon City church
IS always extend a ready and cordial
welcome to chance attendants a. d.
vine service here?" asked a resident
this morning. II have been here for
only short time" he continued, "and
l have had a chance to notice this sit
uation. A welcome for a stranger 10
not always SO warm as 1t should be.
1t is the duty, not only OF the pastor,
but of all members, to welcome strang-
ers. There is considerable room for
Improvement here"

MOONLIGHT EXCURSION
THROUGH THE ROYAL GORGE

The Denver G Rio Grande will run
a moonlight excursion from Canon
City through the Royal Gorge and re-
turn next Thursday night and nobody
not otherwise occupied at that time
can afford to miss it. The grandeur of
the Royal Gorge cannot be fully COM
pretended until it has been seen by
moonlight and no better opportunity
will ever occur than on Thursday
night as Luna will then be at the zen
ith of her brightness. These moonlight
excursions were immensely popular
few years ago and the memory they
left upon the minds of their patrons
will contribute to their success in the
future.
Every time one makes a trip through
the Royal Gorge new beauties are re-
vealed and an added impressiveness
and majesty is given to its mighty
walls. Things unseen before stand
out in bold relief and convey to the
beholder the omnipotence of Nature
and the weakness of man. Such
things do him good and stir within him
the better impulses OF his being; they
cause him to forget self and marvel
at the handiwork of the Creator
Moonlight excursions through the
Royal Gorge were in high esteem q
few years ago by people who wished
to entertain their friends and many de-
lightful parties Of this kind were civ
On. They were eminently successful
from . social standpoint and gave

DID NOT WANT TO DO TINE
IN THE PENITENTIARY

Passengers on Denver & Rio Grande
train No. 8. which arrives here from
Pueblo at 7:25 p. m, witnessed a thrill
ling episode short distance this side
OF Swallows Wednesday evening
Among those on board was a deputy
sheriff from Denver in charge OF two
prisoners, one OF whom was being
brought to the penitentiary here and
the other being taken to the state re-
formatory at Buena Vista. They were
both young men and were pretty tough
customers II their appearances counted
for anything. To avoid any trouble
with them the deputy sheriff had them
handcuffed together and sat in the
seat Immediately behind them.
Just after the train passed Swal-
lows the one who was being brought
to the penitentiary requested the Of
ficer to release him from his compan-
ion for a few minutes In order that he
might get drink, making the excuse
that the manacles were too tight and
hurt his wrist The ofiicer loosened
the handouts and the prisoner made
rush for the door and almost before
people In the car realized what was
which was running at the rate of
thirty-hve miles an hour. The officer
grasped the bell cord and gave 1t sew
eral vigorous jerks. and, as a result.
the engineer stopped the train to learn
the cause Of the trouble.
The train was backed down to the
place where the prisoner had jumped
of and he was easily recaptured ow-
ing to the fact that he had fallen face
downwards and had gotten so much
dirt and cinders In his eyes that he
was unable to see and was helpless In
his blindness. On being taken aboard
the train his arms and legs were tied
with ropes and in that condition he
was brought to this city. On arrival
at the station here 1t was necessary
to unite the ropes with which he was
bound when he again made q break
for liberty and had to be knocked
down two or three times by the officer
before he would submit to being taken
to the penitentiary. He only weighs
one hundred and thirty-f1ve pounds,
but Is unusually active and wiry. His
name Is A. M. Davis and he was
brought here for burglary and lar
ceny.
