Get money. and don't be too par

Get money, and don't be too par
ticular as to the means or over
scrupulous as to the method. but
get money. and all things else will
be added unto YOU" That is the
principle that some people make the
ruling passion of their lives. Now
the editor tries to get money on
subscription, and he nearly always
makes fizzle of it. That is the
reason that so few of the tribe are
riding around in red benzine bug
gies. But for getting real money
the methods of Ladies' Aid Societies
take the whole bakery. One of the
best comments we have read of late,
descriptive of this method of raising
money, was written by lady who is
at present visiting her old home in
Iowa. and is as follows: Friday
went to the missionary meeting a,
Fryars, the bankers. They are new
people and we had about FORTY ou,
not much like the original eight OF
ten. This is the result of Billy Sun
days recent work. Well. we ate
fudge, and discussed the best plar
to get into peoples pocketbooks
finally deciding that instead of go
ing into our own and pulling out 8
dollar apiece and paying off our 50:
debt we'd donate dollars worth OF
eatables and cook it up and fix it uI
into Is cent church supper. work
half day and half a night. buy
four or five suppers, and thus spend
a 81 so apiece just so as to econo-
mize. We ladies know our business
and there is method in our madness.
A dollars worth of cooking is never
missed from the pantry. while if we
gave good solid silver dollar all a,
one time to the suffering heather al
over America. we'd miss it eter

To have pure, spring, soft wa
ter supply. or not to have it, is the
question that is now agitating the
minds of various and sundry citizens
of this burg. Whether it would be
better to suffer the sings and ar
rows of outrageous and unendur-
able misfortune by perpetually buck
ing against a pure alkali supply of
natures greatest necessity, or by
one fell swoop end it all by making
contract with the soft water bar
ons for a plentiful supply at any old
price" that is the question. But,
aye, there's the rub. A soft water
supply? Yea, verify, It's consul
nation devoutly to be wished that
is, if we can have it at the
same price. While all realize that
the soft water proposition is an en-
terprise of great pith and moment,
for La Junta or any other commun-
ity, most of US are sicklied DER with
the pale cast of thought. the heart
ache and the thousand natural
shocks that flesh is heir to when il
comes to considering an irrevocable
separation from much hardened coin
for the privilege of enjoying the
luxury. AS depicted in another col
umn ot this issue. Colonel Jack Faw,
the genial southerner. is at present
engaged in developing soft water
supply on Horse Creek, the capacity
of which he claims is sufficient to
supply every town in the Arkansas
Valley. The genial colonel wants to

The fourth annual trade excur-
sion of the Pueblo Business Men S
Association, the itinerary of which
included three days tour of the
Arkansas Valley from Pueblo to the
state line. arrived in La Junta last
Wednesday afternoon about .
O'Clock by the automobile route.
There were forty-three business
men in the arty and eleven buzz
buggies. They left Pueblo Wednes-
day morning at 7:30 O'Clock and
were given right royal reception in
every town up and down the valley.
The La Junta Board of Trade enter
tanned the bunch at banquet at the
Sherman House, and it was the
unanimous opinion of the visitors
that the cuisine equalled anything
that could have been served in the
Little Pittsturg of the West. 1t
was matter of regret that the late
hour of their arrival made it inn
possible to show them some of the
sights of the city-including our
new 50.000 school house. new city
park. and the many handsome resi-
dences erected of late years. About
one-half of the party departed for
Las Animas in the evening, and al.
though duly warned. got caught in
a rainstorm which necessitated ar
appeal to the hospitality of the
farmers abounding thereabouts
After visiting the towns in the lower
valley the party returned home by
way of Sugar City and Ordway.

being General Manager J. Z. Hurley
Superintendent of Machinery Lowell,
Superintendent Of Transportation c,
w. Kom.s, Superintendent james
Kurns, of the New Mexico division
and General Superintendent K. j.
Parker. They made general in
spection Of local conditions. and it Is
rumored in switchman circles that
they were not altogether pleased,
being in bad humor as the result of
three engine failures on their special
train between Topeka and La Junta.
1t is further rumored in switchman
circles that there will be general
turning over in official circles on the
Santa Fe before another month rolls
around. The most important rumor
is to the effect that the strike, which
has been on for the past three years,
will be settled inside of thirty days.
and that the lineup in official circles
will be about as follows: President.
H. u. Nudge; second vice president.

 In the interests of Michael Pemti- no of North Square. Attorney John F. McGrath issued m attachment last evening against Michael Salerno, whd runs a saloon at 32 Meadow street The amount was for S95 rent and the attachment was served by Constable W. E. Lannen.
 Miles McNlff, for many years a member of the local police force. but for some time past residing Tn New York, where he has a good position, was in Waterbury to-day looking al- most as young as when he first donned a policeman's jacket twenty years ago. Mir McNiff was dropped from the force for reasons which many claim were purely political and he immediately took steps to be re- instated, but the courts seem to be rather slow in taking the matter up. It was understood that it would be heard at this session of the superior court. but unless something unex- pected happens 1t Is slated to go over to the next term. The officer expects to be re-instated and compensated for the time he was idle awaiting a de. cision on the merits of the case.

GOVERNOR TERRELL
His Letter to President Says There Was No III Feeling
 Over Ceremony.

Oyster Bay, L. l.. June 15.-Presi- dent Roosevelt to-day received from Governor Terrill of Georgia a tele- graphic disclaimer of any criticism of the president. incident to the cele- bration of Georgia day at the James, town exposition. The dispatch is as follows:
 ITO President Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, L. l.:
 ''The publication to the effect that MT Mitchell or myself feels aggrieved toward you or that you are respon- sible for the shortening of the Georgia day exercises at the James, town exposition is absolutely u1swar- ranted. In explaining the hurried manner in which the program was carried out, stated to a number of prominent Georgians and several newspaper reporters that the review consumed more time than was esti- mated. Hence 1t was, necessary to cut out or cut off some of the after noon engagements and that after a hurried discussion we agreed 1t was better to shorten the time allotted for these engagements rather than cut out any of them and that I consider ably abridged my remarks at the Georgia building and you did like wise. had notified several prom inent Georgians that if there was sufficient time might call upon them to speak at the Georgia build ing when the silver service presenta- tion exercises were held. Immedi- ately upon our arrival at the build ing took the necessary steps to noti- fy them there would not be time for same, but that arrangements would be made to conclude presentation ex- ercises on the battleship the next af- ternoon which were carried out and perfectly satisfactory to everybody.
 Personally and as governor I wish to thank you for lending your pres ence to Georgia day and assure you that every true Georgian feels like wise. The sentiment of the official badges for that day expresses the sentiment of every such Georgian whether at Jamestown or at home our country's president and Georgia's grandson consider Georgia day at the Jamestown expo sition great success and that you made it so.

LAUNCH RAISED.
Eleven Metallic Caskets Ready 10 Receive the Remains of the
 Drowned Naval Men
FLAGS AT HALF MAST

Norfolk, Va., June 15.-The gov ernmenr tugs Alice and Mohawk left the Norfolk navy yard early to-day having in toW large floating derrick which will raise the launch of the bat tleship Minnesota located by the divers late yesterday at the bottom of Hampton Roads in 27 feet of water where the launch went down presum- ably after having become entangled in the tow line between some tug and barge.
 The divers last night fastened ropes and cobles to the little craft and im- mediately upon the arriyai of the gov ernment derrick on tlte scene work was begun.
 The general belief is thut all eleven bodies will be found together in the launch.
 Eleven metallic caskets are ready for the reception of the bodies, The plans are to carry the bodies first to the battleship Minnesota and there shrowd them, and the likelihood is that they will then be brought to the naval hospital in Portsmouth and from there shipped to the respective homes of the deceased or wherever may be directed by the parents or next of kin of the victims. Just where the inquests will be held and by whom they will be conducted has not yet been determined, so far as Is known here.
 The "telltale' piece of hawser tow ing rope reported found by the divers who discovered the launch last night will be held in comparison with the hawser of the New York, Philadel- phia and Norfolk railroad barge which is reported to have passed through Hampton Roads about the time of the disaster Monday night Or early Tuesday morning.
 The flags of all the vessels of the Atlantic fleet which remain in Hamp- ton Roads have been placed at half mast and there is much gloom in naval circles everywhere to-day. Washington. June 15.-Secretary Metcalf has just received long dis tance telephone message from Rear Admiral Berry. commandant of the Norfolk navy yard, saying that the Minnesota's lauI.ch has been raised
 When the launch was searched after being brought to the surface, but one body was found on board. that of George W. Westphal, first class fireman. who was found at his post of duty. There were no traces of the six midshipmen or the other four sea men who are said to have been in the launch.
