A full trainload of twenty cars ol

another one last Friday. Other large
shipments have been made during

the entire crop will be moved al
right. Most of the produce shipped
the past week has gone to Texas
points and where it is almost a
straight pull south, with the fast
freight service inaugurated by the

First Graders Entertain.

The children of the first grade OF
the north ward school gave a splen-
did Washington birthday entertain
ment In their school room last
Thursday afternoon. Miss Jessie
Fink is teacher and there are forty
five bright children in the grade.
Miss Fink has held the same posi-
tion in the north ward for ten years
and has done excellent work. The
program Thursday was remarkably
good when one considers that the
children had spent less than one year
in the school room. There were flag
songs and songs of Washington, a
number of single recitations by the
girls and boys and all kinds of little
exercises and drills in which the
children took their parts exceedingly
well. Several numbers on the pro-
gram were given in costumes and
there were sturdy little gentlemen
with white wigs and three-cornered
hats and quaint little maids with
white kerchiefs and caps. The God
dess Of Liberty was also imperson
ated and other characters too numer-
Gus to mention. Over fifty parents
and friends were present and were
delighted with the entertainment.

COUNTRY CLUB SURE
Stockholders Have an Enths
s1astic Meeting

The first meeting of the stocksub-
scribers in the new Country club was
held last Thursday evening and it
was unanimously decided to COM
mence Improvements on the grounds
this spring. The full amount of
s25, 600 has been subscribed by fifty
of the business men of the city and
the quarter-section of land lying
Just south of Crawford and west of
the home of John Petrikin on the
hill has been purchased for s1S, 200.
The first. thing that will be done
is to clean out the ten-acre reservoir
site on the place, make the embank-
ment and fill the lake before irriga-
tion begins. The water will be run
through the Greeley & Loveland
ditch, which passes righu through
the tract of land. Trees will also
be set out this spring and the
grounds generally laid out for park.
1t is not probable that any buildings
will be erected this summer, how
ever.
1t is probable that part of the
land will be sold off later on, as a
ouarter-section is more than Is
needed for the club grounds.

c. E. Baptist Social.

The Christian Endeavor of the
Baptist church held social last
Thursday evening at the home OF
Mr.. and Mr.. George Annett on Tenth
avenue. After short program the
guests heartily entered into the
different amusements provided.
Each of the twelve months was
represented by some person with an
appropriate symbol. After the
months were guessed the guests di-
vided in groups, each joining the
month in which his birthday came
and the different groups in turn en-
tertained the crowd in various ways.
Partners for supper were found by
tiny hatchets distributed on half of
which were the names Of the states
and the other half the capitols.
About one hundred young people
were present.

Art Exhibit In Grades.

Last Thursday was the first of two
art exhibits given in the grades of
the public schools throughout the
year. The second will be given at
the close of the years work. Thurs
day afternoon was set apart for visit
ing day for the parents and friends
of the pupils to examine the work
done the first half of the school year.
The exhibits were held In one room
OF each Of the buildings and the
work made an excellent showing.
Miss Edith Gale is supervisor of
drawing and sewing. She outlines
the work for all of the grades and
the teachers carry out the plans.
Miss Gale teaches the sewing and
sloyd and the last half year has
taught personally in each grade.
Up to the fifth grade drawing is
taught every day. The work begins
with flowers and leaves which are
colored with crayons and after the
third grade water colors are used.
The work is similar through the

grades some beautiful valentines
have been made and the work In
cludes border designs, plaid designs
and original drawings of various
kinds.
The children are also taught ratfia
work, sewing and sloyd. In the
south ward they had novel milli-
merry display Of raffia work. The
collection was exceptionally good.
The work of the lower grades was
quite marvellous for the tiny hands
which made 1t.
The rooms where the exhibits
were held were thronged with visi-
tors all afternoon. They we're
shown around by committee of
pupils and each guest was asked to
register and given painted hatchet
as souvenir.

or dry bordeaux treatments appeared
to be Of no benefit.
The matter of depth of blowing
was brought up and he said the best
results seemed to be obtained where
the soil was turned over to depth
OF about ten inches. In cultivating
they had to go about a foot in depth
to obtain the best results. This pre-
vented more than two or three culti-
vatfons of the crop for fear of dis
turbing the potatoes or cutting some
OF the roots, otherwise 1t might be
beneficial to the crop to cultivate
oftener.
The potato crop will need from
nine to twelve inches of irrigation,
according to quality of soil and other
moisture.
The topic was again taken up Sat
urday morning and the matter of the
selection of seed discussed. By fol-
lowing behind the. potato digger Mr..
Bennett has gradually gathered up a
few sacks of what he considered
ideal pearl seed potatoes. He care
fully selected the hills that con-
tained from ten to fifteen moderate
sized potatoes Of the. ideal shape.
These he will plant next summer
and endeavor to increase the size.
He has also sent some of the potatoes
to the Divide country to be planted
one season and then bring them back
here and see if the strain cannot be
continued indefinitely.
The condition seems to be peculiar
to the Greeley district that new see6
must be brought In here every thiro
year, either from Wisconsin or th,
Divide, and Mr.. Bennett is now di
recting his studies and experiment
toward solving the seed potato prob
lem. In the Carbondale country ant
the Uncompahgre valley they can us
the same potatoes over and owe
again and grow just as large potatoe
as in the Greeley district.

JURY RETURNS VERDICT ON
1853 COUNTS.
HAS BEEN RECEIVING REBATES
From Chicago and Alton on Ship
ments of Oil - Only One Ballot
Necessary for Verdict-Jury Out
Three Hours.

Chicago. April Is. The Standard
Oil Company of Indiana. which has
been on trial for the last six weeks
before Judge E. NJ. Lands in the
United States district court on a
charge of having received rebates
on the Chicago and Alton railroad
on shipments of oil from Whiting
Ind. to East ST. Louis, was found
guilty on 1,463 counts out of the or
iginal 1881 indictments. The re-
naming 440 counts were dropped
from the Indictment on account of
errors.
The Indictment charges that in
the shipment of 1903 cars of oil
over the Chicago Terminal Transfer
and tie Chicago and Alton railways
from Whiting, Ind. to East ST.
Louis. ILL.,, by way of Chappelle, ILL.,.
the oil company accepted a rate of
cents per 100 pounds when the
published rate was IS. Early in the
trial attorneys for the defense en-
deavored to have all the counts in
the Indictment thrown out on techni-
calities, but the court ordered that
each count be ordered separately,
which was done.
The defense then devoted its eff
forts toward proving that the COM
pany was unaware of the fact that
a special rate had not been filed
with the interstate commerce COM
mission as provided by the Elkins
law. Evidence was offered by the
government showing that it was the
duty of the railroad officials to see
that rates accepted by them were
in the hands of the commerce COM
mission.
Touchinp on this part of the evil
dence Judge Lands in his charge to
the jury said:
Accepted Concessions.
THE indictment alleges that the
defendant accepted a concession
knowingly. To sustain the aver
ment the proofs need not establish
that the defendant had actual knowl-
edge of the lawful rate. 1t was the
duty of the defendant diligently to
endeavor in good faith to get the
Chicago and Alton the lawful rate
by applying to one of the company's
offices. In making this endeavor the
defendant is presumed to have
known that the. railway company
would be guilty OF a misdemeanor if
it gave the defendant a rate on in
terstate traffic which was not on
paper and a copy of the schedule
filed with the interstate commerce
commission"
In regard to the assertion by the
defense that the Standard Oil Com
pany did not know of the existence
of the tariff on which the indictmen,
was based. Judge Lands said that
the evidence submitted by the gov
eminent Went to show that there
was a department in the Standard
Oil Company which dealt with oil in
less than one car load and that it
would have been absolutely neces-
sary for the head of this department
to be familiar with the tariff in
question. The jury was out less
than three hours and reached the
verdict on the first ballot.
