Public Health Notice.

Owing to the prevalence of ty-
phoid fever, want every one in the
city to cooperate with the author
tiles in removing all possible sources
of contagion.
All alleys and other places where
refuse is scattered must be scrup-
ulously cleaned. Wherever there is
a sewer every property owner should
connect closets and sinks with it at
once. Every house should be thor
oughly screened against flies. They
are often a means of carrying ty-
phoid infection. All water contain
ers, such as barrels and cisterns.
where artesian water is stored
should be emptied and thoroughly
scalded. All drinking water should
be boiled for at least thirty min
utes before using. If the citizens
will help, and each one faithfully
clean up his own premises, it will be
t''i easy " bSllSi
conditions. | have advised the city
council to compel sewer connections
to be made wherever possible.
Last week ] had DR.. Hill. chemist
for the State Board of Health, here,
and together we made an inspection
of all possible sources Of infection.
ae promised me a report within a
week. 1t has not arrived yet, but
when it does | will publish it.
Please do not neglect the very
necessary work of ridding our city
of every possible source of infection.
Very Truly,
A. l.. STuBBs, NJ. d,

Great Seiis-FIo,o Shows.

A distinguishing feature of the
Sells -Floto Shows is the monster free
open den street caravan. Who does
not like the circus parade? Who
would not view the gaily colored
cages come along when Madame
Valicito is seen spanking the nose of
large lion with little whip while
cheers greet the act? The "Rube"
clown, who gets arrested for block
ing traffic on the streets, with his
mule and cart, was once great fea-
ture. He is well known now, but
the inventive mind of circus men
will have another novelty to replace
him. Another event of moment in
every small town. and large ones,
too, for that matter, is the early ar
rival of the circus train. Long be-
fore the long train pulls in on the
sidetrack near the depot the crowd
is there. There is an army of juve-
mile volunteers, who are willing to
carry water for the elephants just
to get free pasteboard emitting
them to admission to the show later
in the day. Men are thereto see
that their boys, who have passed a
sleepless night-do not get hurt.
Even women find some excuse for
going down to the railroad yards
and taking long look at the canvas
covered cars. Boys, who have gath
cred and sold enough old iron, rags,
and bones to get so cents, enjoy a
memorable day and the streets
leading from the farming district to
town are covered with every i'm
aginable kind of vehicle.
AS soon as the sun is out there is
hustle and activity every place. If
the superintendent of the public
school is wise he will declare hol-
iday. What boy or girl can think Of
geography, spelling or arithmetic
when there is circus in town? In
the language of the German come
dian. 1T is to laugh" The circus
does land Office business, and as
the crowd is pouring into the circus
tent from the menagerie at the night
performance. the army of employees
of the show starts to take down the
canvas which shelters the cages and
the work of loading the outfit onto
the train begins. Thousands of
tired boys and girls retire, after
having seen the show. peaceful and
contented. The following morning
the antics of the clown cause merri-
ment at the breakfast table and
some youths who reside near the
circus lot hurry through their morn
ing ablutions in order to go over
near the ing and Sc, if any change
has been dropped by the spectators
of the previous night. The great
Sells-Floto Shows will be in La
Junta Thursday, July 18Th, after
noon and evening.

A new post of the Grand Army of

G. A. r. post disbanded some fifteen
years ago, after a fire which de-

Some one has figured out that
there are twenty-five churches in

The receipts of the county clerks
Office from January s to June 30,
lacking eight days of being six
months, were Sl.7S5. This is $500
more than the corresponding time
last year. and three times more than
each of the two years preceding last
year.-Bent County Democrat. The
receipts in Otero county during the
month of June were 81 1855,
S446.l5 short of the total amount in
Bent county for six months.
During the thinning and cultiva-
ton of the present crop of sugar
beets one feature has been partic-
ularly worthy of notice, and that has
been the small crop of weeds and the
much easier task than usually ex-
perienced in keeping the ground
clean. This is supposed to be due
partly to the more thorough cult-
vation of the previous seasons and
partly to the spring freezes which
may have killed the young weed crop
in the termination process. Fowler
Tribune.
The building campaign which
opened in Las Animas early in the
spring is being continued with little
interruption and by the end of the
summer Las Animas will have many
new business blocks and scores of
new residences. Workmen have al
ready commenced operations on the
foundation for the new store build
ings to be occupied by Simons Broth
ers and the M. E. Cooke drug store.
The building will be 5Oxl30 feet.
The Las Animas telephone exchange
will be located in Cook drug store.
One would Judge from the num-
Der of houses going up in Ordway
that this was railroad town and
the boomers were endeavoring to
build it in day. These conditions
have existed for several years past
and still no sign of the pace being
slackened. Lack of building mater
ial delays the work on many con-
tracts at present and the lumber
yards are working overtime. Moth
ing short of tornado or an earth
quake will prevent Ordway from in
creasing its population to the 5000
mark. New Era.
Fowler has shown most remark
able health record during the past
six months, only two deaths occur
ing from January 1st to July LIST.
One of these was a case of tubercu-
losis which had its origin and part of
its history in an eastern state. The
other was an infant. The splendid
climate of the Arkansas Valley and
the pure water used from the Crys-
tai Springs are the combined agen-
cies which figure most materially in
furnishing good health to the gen.
crafty of the people of Fowler and
keeping down to the minimum the
rate of mortality. Fowler Tribune.

COLLINS MAKES DEMAND
FOR IMMEDIATE TRIAL
Wants Court to Go Ahead
or Dismiss Charge
of Perjury

Accompanied by a deputy sheriff.
George ID. Collins. bigamist and con-
victed perjurer. went before Judge
Lawlor yesterday. and. acting as his
own attorney. demanded recognition
for another of his many constitutional
rights. According to his argument he
should either be tried at once on the
charge of perjury, which brought about
his extradition from British Columbia,
or that charge should be dismissed.
Assistant District Attorney OGara
asked continuance, pointing out that
records destroyed in April, 1906, had
not been restored, and the court
granted his request. Collins objected
to the charge being continued at every
calling of the case. To his view the
district attorney was merely seeking
to hold this charge against him for use
in the event of a reversal of the judg-
ment from which he has taken an
appeal.
After Collins was brought back from
British Columbia he was convicted or
a charge of perjury other than the one
on which he was extradited and was
sentenced to IA years imprisonment
Since the passing OF Judgment he has
spent his time framing technical obJec-
tions and presenting them to various
courts, and has thus far succeeded IN
keeping himself out of stripes
