Death OF Mrs. Maud wnss. Painter.

Mrs. Maud Wright Painter, wife
of John r Painter, died very sud-
denly at her home. 324 Carson av-
enue, last Thursday morning about
o'clock. Mrs. Painter was i'll for
period of less than ten hours. and
her sudden demise was a great
shock, to many friends who had
known and were familiar with the
beauty of her character. The inn
mediate cause of her death was
acute pulmonary 9dema of the
lungs, and although everything pos
sible was done by the attending
physicians to thwart the visitation
of the grim reaper, their efforts
proved in vain. and DEATH came to
relieve her sufferings in the early
morning hours.
Brief funeral services were held
at the residence at 8 o'clock Thurs
day evening. conducted by the Rev.
Conrad Bluhm, and the remains
were shipped to Syracuse. Kan, the
former home of the deceased. for
final interment.

Fourteen thousand dollars worth
of real money was located within
the four walls of the great family
journal Office last Monday afternoon
breaking all previous records.
There were $40 bills, $40 bills and So
bills laying around loose, just like
so much junk, and the unusual sight
caused the eyes of a Small colored
man who happened to be present to
bulge about one yard. Unfortun-
ateIy. this money belonged to the
First National Bank, being the last
of the issue of ,$34 600 in national
bank notes just turned loose by this
institution. Every bill was signed
by the cashier and president or vice
president, necessitating about fif-
teen hours of continuous labor. The
bills were printed in sheets of five
and the paper cutter of the great
family journal officiated at the de-
capitation into individual bills. 1t

kendall's Easter Carnival Sale,
which has been on during all Of the
present week. and closes in a blaze
of glory tonight. was one of the
greatest and most successful
merchandising events in the his
tory of this popular store.
The store was crowded with people
every day this week and the sales
have been equal to the best days Of
a holiday season. Thursday tile
La Junta brass band gave = concert
in front Of the store, and the crowds
taxed the capacity of the store as
well as the street to the uttermost.
Ice cream luncheon checks were dis
penscd to all visitors to the store,
and this proved quite an attractive
advertising feature, as it enabled
customers wko could not get waited
on an opportunity for social ses-
sion on the merits of the Easter
Carnival and its cnterprising pro-
mulgators.

Lawn hose thieves are abroad in
La Junta in the dead hours of night.
and it would be well for property
owners who have made recent pur-
chases in this line to keep hose un-
der lock and key in some place of
security where thieves cannot
break in and steal. Tom Wood is
mourning the loss of seventy feet of
hose. which was swiped from his
front yard last Monday night. Tom
screwed his hose on the hydrant
with a wrench in order to make it
difficult for prospective thieves to
carry off. This particular thief.
however, was possessed of some in
itiative. and with a pocket knife cut
the hose off close to the hydrant.
leaving about six inches of new
corrugated rubber as q souvenir
of the occasion. Tom was in such q
frenzy over the matter that he Of.
fered the officers reward of twice
what the hose was worth if they
would run down the thief.

 AGAINST RAILROADS
CASE OF IMPORTANCE TO MONT GOMERY WILL BE HEARD BY INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON- MISSION ON FEBRUARY 20.

Montgomery, January 22-(Special.)-The cases of the Montgomery freight bureau against the Louisville and Nashville raii- road and others, for readjustment or rates from the west to Montgomery, has been set for hearing by the interstate commerce commission on February z0, 1908 at 10 o'clock a. m., in the United States court rooms in Montgomery
 This is the case, or series of cases, brought by the freight bureau Tor the pur- pose of securing a more reasonable ad- justment of freight charges between the west and central west and this point All classes of freight are sought to be in fiuenced by the movement which grows out of the superior advantages given to Mobile and Pensacola over Montgomery, and prevents a healthy competition with intermediate points.
 There are IA railroads defendant in the cases brought and the hearing will no doubt bring to the city one of the great est crowds of traffic officials that have been here in a number of years. Commis- sioners Clark and Clements will conduct the hearings. This emphasizes the im- portance of the matter, as usually only special examiners are sens.
 The papers in the complaint were pre- pared by Manager Kealhoefer of the local bureau, and the bureau will be represent ed by Attorneys Horace Stringfellow and w. A. Gunter.
