him he has left his grip here!"

"Oh. Mr.. b." they heard her say,

Let US Reason Together.


The old Somerset Central Society
has passed the point of an experiment.
1t is now one of the great Fairs of the
State. All is changed. Years ago we
paid out in premiums and purses,
about $500. Now we pay from $500
to $4,000.
We furnish free hay and straw
which many of our big fairs do not.
This expense alone amounts to over
$3.50. In the good old days with small
expense we changed, S1.00 for an an
nual ticket and 25c single admission
at the gate. We have carefully gone
over all the ground, we have figured
as economically as possible and find
the old prices will not let us out
with the uncertainty of the weather,
and with the increased price of every
thing that goes to make up a first
class show.
We are compelled to make the
following changes:
Annual ticket admitting man and
wife for the full three days, $3.50.
Single admission, SO cents.
We hope all will receive this small
advance gladly as it means the fur

cided to again turn his face westward
and see for himself just what this col
ony was like which promised 80
much. He first contracted with the
colony to bring to It a car 4oad OF
dairy COWS and driving these with
horses and sheep he started across
the plains in 1870. The sheep. some
1900 head, became the nucleus of the
great fiocks OF the Putnam brothers
and the horses, the first blooded ones
ever brought to northern Colorado,
were placed on the Mcclellan ranch
five and one half miles north of Gree
ley, and for years Mr.. Mcclellan de-
voted himself to farming and stock
raising.
Mr.. McClellan's first wife died be-
fore he came to Colorado and his sec
ond one in 1877. His father lived to
be eighty four years old and his
mothers great. great grandfather was
Peregrine White, the first white child
born in New England whose parents
came over In the Mayfiower and set
tied at Plymouth, Massachusetts.
During the last fifteen years of his
life, Mr.. Mcclellan lived with his only
child and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
R. Mcclellan, where he has been ten
derly cared for. He was deaf for
years and it was this affection that
deprived him from enlisting in the
Civil war. His deafness did not keep
him, however, from taking an active
interest in all that was going on. He
was a great newspaper reader and
every day after scanning the daily
paper conversed with paper and pen
Gil with his son concerning what he
had read. He always kept posted on
cattle and other stock and kept
keen eye on the sheep markets.
His career was a long and useful
one and credit to his staunch and
honored New England ancestry. and
with his passing must be added an
other name to the list of those
pioneers who made the way easy and
the opportunities greater for their
successors.

Now. Will You Be Good2

The following communication haH
been sent by the Enforcement Com
missioners TO the various county at
| torneys in Maine.
State Ct Maine,
Enforcement Commission, Augusta.
Aug D, 1905
Dear Sir:-Some time ago We
called the attention Of the county at
torneys throughout the State % the
provisions Of the nuisance statue
authorizing injunctions against the
owners of buildings occupied for pur-
poses which constitute them NUS
ances, as being an efficient instru
ment ia the hands OF county attorneys
to shut off the sale of intoxicating
liquors. We consider the feature u
the law of such Importance that after
consultation with the Governor We
now request each county attorney in
the State TO make use OF the power
vested in him by the statute, and to
proceed in proper cases against the
owners Of buildings used in such
way az to be nuisances by injunction
process.
1t seems 10 US that it is practically
incumbent upon county attorneys to
see that criminal prosecutions and in
functions are followed up 10 cases
where Gquor-sellers continue after
onelor more prosecutions 10 carry on
their business in the same place, and
that repetitions Of ofenses should
subject the places they occupy and
their owners to the penalties pre-
scribed by law. Wherever our depu-
ties can do SO, we will be pleased to
have them give you any assistance in
their power in furnishing information
along these lines or in furtherance Of
proceedings.
Very truly yours,

abiding respectable citizens to CO.
operate more energetically with the
laws of the State and those entrusted
with the sacred responsibility of en-
forcing the law, to observe the Lords
Day with decorum and Christian in
tegrity.
Be it further resolved that we call
upon the Chief of Police and High
Sheriff of Somerset County and call
their attention TO the fact Of repeated
and repeaters of trespassing on the
Lords day statutes and ask that
these places of business be closed in
accordance with the require ments Of
the statutes of the State; and the

law and enlist with other patriotic
citizens in conformity Ato Christian
