In sad remembrance of nv aunt.
Mary j., beloved wife OF Eugene
Higgs, died Dec. %, 1907, age n
years and Z months. Loved in life
In death remembered. None knew
her but to love her, can we'll be said :;
she died as she lived. true woman.
Haa she lived but four DAYS more
she would have died ON her wedding
anniversary. Two years ago she
celebrated her golden wedding.
Flfty-two years of married life is
seldom reached. She leaves. hus-
band, eight sons. an adopted son
and daughter, sister and two broth
ers to mourn her.
She has gone from US to Heaven,
Her battle on earth is DER,
Fondly, she waits for love ones.
On the bright and peaceful shore.
On that beautiful Christmas morning..
We laid her form SO sweet.
In the still and silent graveyard.
Until our souls in Heaven meet.

ISOLATION to tho faithful wife, who is as
well known to our pioneers as the land
lady as her husband was as landlord OF
the hotel "DeSeely".
J. S. Sesly was born in Pennington.
Pa, in 1883. and so was 20 years old
when he died. He came to Colorado in
1880. He leaves a wife and SIX chill
dren who are all we'll ::and favorably
known to this community. The children
are Mrs. H. P. Allen Of Honey Grove.
Texas; Mrs. P. A. Thompson of Cokedale
Colorado. and Mrs. w. R. Dye and Mrs.
Geo. R. Daring; Daniel and Charles See

SMITH TRIAL IS ON
Jury Secured on Tuesday and State
VIII Close Today

The jury for the trial of E. j. Smith.
cashier Of the defunet State Bank. was
secured Tuesday and District Attorney
White made his opening statement in
which he said that Smith was jointly
responsible with Godding in the manage
ment Of the bank.
Smith is charged on four counts of re-
ceiving money on deposit after he knew
the bank to be insolvent. The cases will
be called separately. In the one now on
he is charged with receiving s2lo from
M. E. Levy on Dec 81. 1907.
A stipulation was entered into between
the attorneys in the case whereby they
can use good deal Of the evidecee that
was taken in the Godding case. This
saves the calling Of the expert witnesses
and number of others who testified as
to the value Of land and as to the value
Of he securities held by the bank.
Court was in session last evening and
it is believed that the testimony will all
be in and the state will close at noon to-
day.

J. S. SEELY
Rocky Ford's Earliest Hotel Tan
Passes Away.

Dad" Seely has crossed the Great
Divide. What early resident of Rocky
Ford did not know "Dad?" What COM
mereial traveller of the early days does
not recall the landlord of Rocky Ford's
first hotel: who met them at the old
wooden depot at any hour of the night
with dark lantern Ozark for want Of a
clean chimney and escorted them to the
then new adobe hotel that was the chief
hostelry of the town; gave every one OF
them the best room in the house and
rumbled them up for the early trains in
the morning. Dad" built the Rockford.
formerly the "De-Seely". and presided
over its destines as mine host" through
all the early and unprogressiye days Of
the town, until it grew into a city. Then
he was side-tracked: and misfortune
which "folows fast and follows faster"
closed the chapter with several years of
Illness and severe suffering. Last Sun
day morning he gave up the fight. closed
the register and turned in the baggage
checks: and whatever his faults we bury
them with him. and say the word OF con-

Rev. and Mrs. Green the Recipients

B. Y. p. u. the Perpetrators.
On Monday evening Rev. and Mrs. S.
c. Green and daughter Miss Editha re-
paired to the home of S. M. Sherman in
response to pressing invitation to spend
one of their last nights iE town with he
and his daughter. Miss Lucy. The young
men Of the Green family we're also spend
ing the evening out-attending a meeting
Of the Baptist Young People at the home
of Miss May Lawton-and It was much
regretted by the entire family that prior
engagement had prevented them all en-
joying last evening with ths young pso-
pie. At least it was source Of regret
for short time. as the Sherman home
was shortly invaded by the party Of half
. hundred 3. Y. P. US who had assem-
blsd at the Lawton home.
The party was = complete and most
enjoyable surprise to Rev. Green and
family, but the erowning surprise came
when he and wife were escorted to an
other room and were presented with =
handsome buffet. Mrs. L. J. Henry.
president Of the B. Y. p. U.. made the
presentation and as she told their pastor
and his worthy helpmats Of the esteem
in which they were held and the sorrow
felt by all because OF their departure. the
glistsning eyes Of the young people show
cd how truthfuliy the speaker expressed
thsii sentiments. The beautiful gift and
accompanying expressions Of friendship
and love so affected Rev. and Mrs. Green
that they could seareey give voice to
their appreciation.
It will be long time before the sur
prise party is forgotten by any who were
there. and it will be longer yet when the
Young people SO universally tie to" other
friends as they did to Pastor Green and
his wife.

COIN COUNTING MACHINE.
Apparatus in Rank of England Sorts,
Counts and Stacks Money.


A remarkable machine has been in
stalled for experimental purposes in the
counting house of the Bank of England
1t is the invention of a Swedish en-
gineer. The apparatus counts and sorts
money into paper tubes or bags at the
rate of 1900 coins an hour. In the
Bank of England fourteen expert cash
iers, working all day long, are able to
count only $4,000 in small silver coins.
The new machine will do SO in a fifth of
the time.
The apparatus is worked by electricity,
and performs its task in an interesting
way. A great bag of mixed coins is
of the machine, and the operator takes
his stand in front of it. The movement
of a lever brings up a heaping trayful of
several hundred coins, which are tipped
over by mechanical action. They fall
upon a polished metal plate. This is
tilted downward and broken up by raised
metal rules into exactly a hundred
squares. which may be so altered in size
that any desired coin, slipping into them.
is held firmly in its place.
AS the coins fall upon the plate,
hidden beneath it causes it to
move rapidly to and fro with a sieve like
motion. The result is that, should it be
arranged to abstract siXpences from
heap of larger COILS, all the bigger CONS
which fall upon the moving plate are in
the space of a few seconds ''sifted" off
it and return to their original receptacle,
while in each of the hundred squares lies
a sixpenny piece. By mechanism even
more ingenious the hundred coins which
have been caught on the plate travel
through metal channels into paper tubes,
and are stacked, without the chance of
error. in twenties, forties or sixties.
