Cooling m.es'o. for c.n..,o.e...


Fruit growers in the vicinity of
Ordway have solved the problem Of
of furnishing ripe and thoroughly
sound fruit to the markets. BY a
united effort number Of fruit
growers have contracted for a large
pre-oooling machine for refrigerat-
ing fruit while in transit. The
machine consists essentially of q
large fan which forces a continuous
current of air through pipes packed
with ice and bichloride Of calcium.
The action of the forced draft on
the calcium produces lower degree
of temperature than that produced
by ice. Ordinarily shippers have
been forced to pick fruit in the
green state in order to get 1t upon
the market in sound condition. BY
this method the fruit reaches the
consumer in a half ripe and tasteless
state. The new machine will en-
tirely alleviate this difficulty.

Manager Bourne, of the La Junta
Theater. has already bookedla num-
ber of high-class attractions for the
season of 10000. which will open
September 9th with Texas" The
season which closed in May of the
present year, was one OF the best in
the history of our local thespian
temple, not only as regards the
excellence of the attractions offered
for public approval. but from a
financial standpoint as well. and Mr..
Bourne is to be congratulated upon
his initial venture as an opera house
manager. There were more $l.5O
attractions last year than any year
in the history of the house. and all
were well patronized. giving La
Junta an established reputation as a
good show town. This is worth
something to community. too. and
assures La Junta of the best there is
on the road whenever there is an
open date in Colorado.
At the present time the La Junta
Theater is closed for repairs. and is
undergoing a thorough overhauling
in the way of remodelIing, painting
throughout. wall tinting and decor
ating. When reopened it will be as
neat, clean and bright as new pin.
The closing of the theater for
repairs necessitated the discontinue
ance of the moving picture show on
rather short notice, but this will be
continued. commencing with Satur-
day. September 5th. on every week
day night when there is no travelling
organization booked for appearance.
The film department will be located
in the rear of the balcony in the
foreground of 'nigger heaven, {" and
the picture effect will be fully equal
to that secured from the lower floor.
A list of the attractions booked
thus far for the season is as follows:

W. 7. Bowman Killed in loe., Yard.

William T. Bowman, aged 80
years, a Pullman car cleaner, was
instantly killed in the local yards
last Saturday evening about $3.50
O'CLOCK, by being run down by pas
senger engine No. 537 which was
backing down the main line to be
coupled on to No. 10. There were
no eye witnesses to the accident and
no one knows just how it occurred.
The engine was moving very slowly,
and it is presumed that Mr.. Bowman
attempted to cross the track, slipped
and fell. and before he could extri-
cate himself from his perilous posi-
ton was caught by the rear trucks
Of the tender. The wheels of the
entire engine passed over him, sever
ing his left leg at the hip. There
was faint cry which attracted the
attention Of several on the depot
platform. and as the engine stopped
the mangled body Of Bowman was
seen just ahead of it. He was pick
ed up and carried into the baggage
room, where he expired five minutes
later without uttering a sound.
Mr.. Bowman had been employed
for several months in the local yards
as q coach cleaner for the Pullman
Company, and most of the time had
been assisted by his wife. Mrs.
Bowman was visiting in Denver at
the time of the accident. and came
down from that city Sunday evening
accompanied by her son, J. A.
Keene. Coroner Burr investigated
the accident Monday, but no blame
could be attached to anyone. and {
verdict was returned accordingly

The latest story on THE subject Is that

Mr.. Bryan. that the president Intended
taking the stump and wat planning to
make at least six speeches on a tour across
the country terminating at San Francisco.

The report Is similar to that which Vice
Chairman Hudspath of the Democrats cam

CINCINNATI, Oct. 5.-Congressmsn
Nicholas ~Longworth, who was in Cincinnati
today enroute to the east, where he will
continue his speaking tour. denounced as
a campaign lie the printed story that in a
speech at Rock Island, ILL.,, he proposed
that after Judge Taft had served two terms
as president that President Roosevelt would
again be a candidate for the presidency.
Congressman Longworth's statement in
full follows:
The fact Of the case Is; Al a meeting
at Rock Island, ILL.,, 1 was introduced by
the chairman of the meeting as son of
Ohio, and since Ohio seemed to be deter
mined to break the record as a mother of
presidents, he said in a jocular vein, that
l probably would be a candidate some time
myself.
Replying in a similar vein, I said thai
I was not there as a candidate for any
office. I was there to speak Of the present
and to advocate the election of Judge Taft
for president, not In the future, but now.
l said that 1 believe confidently tina Judge
Taft would be elected president and that
his administration would be so wise and
beneficial to the people that they would de-
mand that he serve them another term.
After that I said, Ohio would not be sell
fish and would yield to some other state
perhaps New York-to nominate the next
president
II had no particular candidate In mind,
New York coming first into my mind be-
cause of the presence of Mr.. Sherman on
the platform.
AT that point m7hy people shouted
Roosevelt and the audience cheered his
name loudly.
Il am not surprised that some democratic
newspaper Should nave taken this up. be-
cause the democratic party is most anxious
to distract the peoples attention from the
issues of the day and talk about either the
remote future or the past.
"rhe story that I commented upon nv
alleged prediction and said II would be an
proved by the president is absolutely false.

mentioned. the incident until now"
