Death Follows Bite Of Serpent.

Tie funeral Of Walter Stowe, aged
nine years, occurred last Tuesday after
noon at the Estancia Cemetery. On
the Both day of May, Walter was bitten
by a rattlesnake, while about a mile
from home, and before reaching home
the foot and leg were blackened and
badly swollen. Medical aid was sum
moned, and it appeared for several days
that he was improving and hopes of
his ultimate recovery were entertained.
Other complications set in, and as a
result, death came on Monday after
noon about four o clock. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. W.
A. Pratt, pastor of the local Methodist
Church, number of neighbors and
friends paying their last respects to
the little sufferer. The family came to
the Estancia Valley something over
year ago from Enid, Oklahoma, taking
a homestead south of Estancia. a
number of friends from their old home

EstdnCid Now Has
a Water WdQOn

On yesterday afternoon, c. H Adams
was out with his new water wagon,
sprinkling the streets Of Estancia.
Some alterations must be made on the
sprinkler, but these are of miner i'm
portance and will have been completed
today, and the wagon will be kept busy
on the streets.
This is made possible by subscriptions
on the part of our business ,men who
have donated literally to the fund.
While. it is somewhat inconvenient to
sprinkle the streets, our merchants do
not envy the people Of Topeka, who
have several feet of water on their
streets, The Estancia Valley is always
in the lead.

present, Mr. VanStone is as much in
terested here as ever, and is anxious
to do all he can for the success Of the
valley. We believe that if it had been
practicable, the contestants for the
one hundred dollars would have been
limited to the valley, but being nation
al affair this could hardly he done with
propriety, while on the other hand the
same being unlimited, will bring so
much more glory to the valley, when
one of our farmers lands the prize.

R0iS6 in SALARY
Of Postmaster

Advices from Washington are to the
effect that the salary Of the post
master for 1909 will be raised from
$110O to $1,000. Nothing shows the ad-
vance and progress Of Il community
more than the postofice business, and
the raise in salary certainly speaks vol
ums for Estancia.
Less than year ago, the Estancia
post Office was placed in the third class,
and this the second raise within twelve
months, proves the steady advance
here.

II was noted on this page a short time
ago that the rebuilding of St.. Pierre,
On the Island of Martinique, had begun,
in spite Of the terrible menace Of Mont
PeIae. A correspondent in the Danish
West Indies writes in effect that the
newspaper reports on which the state
ment was based exaggerated the facts.
The only steamers that stopat the city
are those which contain curious tourists,
and the city is still ruin, with slight
evidence of human habitation.

meeting at Oklahoma City Monday as
victory for Dennis T. Flynn i'm his

Mcclure had been making common
cause against Hunter anu the Rough

working together against Mcclure.
When the republican committee
was called together. the program was

there was some opposition to Busby
