DROPS DEAD
after FIST FIGHT

LA JUNTA, Colo, Nov. 3.-Murder
or heart failure? Which. if either of
these, was the cause of the sudden
death last night of James Mullolly is
puzzling the local police.
Tho man was found dead a few
moments after he had engaged in il
fist-fght with a stranger at the Cissne
restaurant. AS result, James Hill ana
j. NJ. Lawrence are in Jail, on charge
of investigation. Hill is accused of
having struck Mullolly, but physicians
are divided as to whether u blow or
heart failure caused the death.
Mullolly was drinking, and it is said,
interfered in transaction between
Hill and Lawrence. The latter were
farm hands at Swink and came to
Rocky Ford to spend election day
Mullolly came to town from Olney
Springs.
Lawrence had several hundred dol
lars which Hill wanted placed in the
hands of the restaurant owner for safe
keeping. When Mullolly "butted in, -
Hill struck him and the man staggered
through the door and fell dead on the
sidewalk.

NOW IS BEST TIME TO TAKE.
Directions to Prepare Simple. Yet Re,
ma1kable Home Mixture.

A wellknown authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless pre-
scription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Karagon, one ounce; (;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any ease of rheumatism
The pain of swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc, some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and ca,.
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to-

upon and made some very interesting
remarks.
The white folks present do not hesi-
tate to say that the best political
speeches heard in Glenwood this sea-
son we're those made by the colored
orators at Odd Fellows hall Saturday
>vening. The speeches consisted OF
a severe arraignment of democracy
and the very best of reasons why all
should vote the republican ticket at
the election tomorrow.
The speaking over, all were invited
to the basement where the ladies had
prepared a splendid supper to which
the hungry candidates and others did
ample justice.
There were a number of colored
people present from Grand Junction,
Aspen, Leadville and other nearby
points and after thier white visitors
departed they enjoyed an old fashion
ed southern dance which lasted until
4 o'clock in the morning. Great cred
it Is due the local committee for the
very successful event which was very
much enjoyed by all.

SINK DESIGN IN FACE OF
COINS TO MAKE THEM STACK

What are undoubtedly the most
unique coins ever turned out by the
United States or any other government
will be coined on and after today at
the mints in Denver, San Francisco
and Philadelphia. The design on the
coins will be sunken into the face and
will not be as all other coins are made,
with the design raised. Half eagles
and quarter eagles, or $40 and So gold
uicces, are the only ones to be made
after this fashion.
The idea of countersinking n design
below the field or face of an object
is not new in the artistic field, but is
new as applied to coins. Stone and
wood has been carved in this manner

MAKING HEAVEN A BRIBE

Did you ever realize that heaven is
generally offered to men as bribe for
being good? lit is sort of celestial
candy dandled before the baby eyes of
ignorance. "lf you are good, and do
thus and so, l will give you this. - This
may be all very well and even neces-
sary for children, but l maintain that
for mental men it is paltry and shame
ful conception and proposition Who
cares for the candy of reward? Is it
not enough to be good for good 5 sake ?
Do we need to be bribed to do our
privileges? 1t is high time that we
thought and wrought in religion as
grown men, and not as credulous child
ren.
