SOCIAL MEET-UP
At the Taylor Home OIL Tuesday
Afternoon.

G. H. Taylor of Rocky Ford was for
several years the regular Sunday lectur-
err TO the La Junta Ethical Society. Tine
society fell into "nrocuous desuetude'
some years ago. bu. the elective affinity
heretofore existing between the individual
units has continued to project itself with
marked persistency through the years.
and now and then what is left of them
have social meet-rp. Last Tuesday
afternoon about score OF them sand
wiched into tally-ho and two single
vehicles drew up in front Of the Taylor
home on South Main and proceeded to
unload themselves and their lunch bas-
kets., Mrs. T. was IN the secret, but Mr..
T. was kept in blissful ignorance until the
moment the party dropped down on his
lawn. Table cloths were spread on the
grass. and the generous layout Of fried
chicken. etcstras. was such as would
have done credit to an old-tims Methodist
tea-meeting. The evening was spent
with conversation and music and the
party drove home in the gentle moon
light.

Mrs. Duncan McPhail. who returned to
her home in Ontario a few weeks ago.
taking the body of her beautiful young
daughter with her for interment writes
back to friends here saying: 81 think the
people in Rocky Ford are the kindest |
ever met The Enterprise prints this
instead Of the formal card Of thanks
which is so customary and which Mrs.
McPhail thought should be published by
her, but which is custom this paper has
rather discouraged, as being too formal
to mean very much; and unealled for by
most OF the people who are always ready
to lend helping hand in situations OF
sickness and bereavement. We are sure
friends found here by Mrs. McPhail and
her dear daughter are grieved that neith-
or their little minstrations nor the eli
mate Of Colorado sufficed to save her
loved one from fatal termination OF the
fell disease consumption.

The beet web worm moths are again
flying Ia the fields. This means that the
eggs are being deposited upon bssts. al

other plants that this insect feeds upon.

ment of his note and his stock liability Of
$l,4oo.
The report does not show the amount
collected by the First National bank of
Pueblo on notes held by them as collater-
al. as there has not yet been a settle
nent between that bank and the reeeiv-
sr-the Pueblo bank has collected about
$45. 100000 on an indebtedness due them
Of about $57 900.
The amount Of claims in dispute is
S2l4.66s.29 this includes all claims for
preference and offsets. When the court

materially reduce both the liabilities and
assets.
or the uneolleeted notes those Of W. E..
Fsnton as maker and endorser. and of A.
v. Shelton. total over $4,000. These
are mainly secured by property under
the .Fenton and Shelton Pump Plants.

claims for preference and set-offs have
been disposed Of by the court.
Judge Rizer has returned from the east

It would Be well for Rocky Ford II these

fully covered and the cans cleaned OF
sprinkled with lime or oil.
Keep all stable manure in a fly

See that your sewerage system is ir

"a part Of the town that has no sewers

MASCOTS TAKE A
COACH RIDE

What is more fascinating or roman
tic than a coach ride through beautiful
hills and valleys? And what is pref
tier to hear than the tinlkle of coach
bells, on a bright crisp morning, echo
ing DER vale and dell? Those who
have experienced both sensations will
reply, nothing"
In the coming production of THE
Mascot" the Positions chorus, to the
accompaniment of coach bells, will be
one of the prettiest numbers of that
sparkling comic opera.
There are so many real gems in this
opera that it is hard to decide which
is really the prettiest selection, but I'M
doubtedly this coaching chorus ranks
well in the first numbers.
1t is hard to imagine the beauty in
the setting of THE Mascot" but the
music being so exceptionally good it
would be unfair not to stage it in
fitting manner.
The costumes which arrived yester-
day in the Alameda are gorgeous. All
who have seen them declare them to be
on a grander scale than anything pre-
viously imported for amateur produc-
| tions. With BETTING surroundings
both principals and chorus may be
depended upon to do good work and
THE Mascot" is coming along in such
excellent shape that the audience will
leave the Opera House on Thursday
night with satisfied feelings of genuine
pleasure, aud no doubt with some sur
prise at such a really excellent per-
| Torrance
1t must not, for moment, be
thought that because THE Mascot" is
being produced by amateurs it will be
produced in an amateur manner.
Far from it, for it will be produced
in manner highly creditable to pro-
| fessionals.
The cast, which is an exceptionally
! strong one, follows:
Pippo, a Shepherd. Hugo Herzer
Frederick, Prince of Pisa. ..........
...................J Jas D. Dougherty
Rocco, a farmer. A. r. Cunha
Matheo, an inn-keeper. .... VIM. Kerr
Parafante, sergeant Chris. Jenkins
FRANCISCO ..................P. q. Cox
DIR. Dopio, physician in ordinary.
''''...' ..............P j. HarWOOd
Ffametta, daughter of Lorengo. ....
Observation-Disclosures. Mrs. Hugo Herzer
Bettina, The Mascot. Mrs. L. R. Crook
Also including a brilliant speciality
by Mrs. Walter Macfarlane as Ma
Cherie" and eight pretty chorus girls
The whole backed by a chorus of over
sixty well trained voices and sprinkled
generously with bright specialties by
wellknOwn amateurs.

TERRIBLE TIMES
THESE IN LISBON

LISBON, April 10.-Subsequent to
the rioting of last Monday, Premier
Ferreira offered his resignation to
King Manuel, but his majesty refused
to accept it. The greatest Indignation
exists here because of the conduct dur
ing the disorders of the Municipal
Guard, which has been described as a
wholesale shooting down of citizens"
1t has been reported that King Manuel
is willing to disband the offending mu-
nicipal corps as balm to the irrita-
ton of the public.
In the midst of the rioting the mob
forced several prisoners who fell into
its hands to cheer for liberty" Some
priests refused, whereupon the mob
fell on them and beat them so severely
that they had to be carried away
stunned and bleeding.
The city is still held by troops, and
there have been no disorders today.
The warsnips are in the roadstead. The
anti-GOvernment press declares that
too much blood has been shed to make
peace in the future sure.

The Mascot which will be given on
Thursday and Saturday nights of next
week is the first big social event to be
held after Easter. The sale of seats
for the tuneful opera will commence on

well represented in the audience on
the opening night

its maids and matrons to the cast, and
when they appear behind the foot
lights Thursday night they will be
warmly received by their many friends
Mrs Walter Macfarlane and her pony
ballet will be one of the hits of the
show, but it is impossible to say at the
present writing who the fair ponies
| will be.
Mrs. Crook, who will take the lead
ing part, will no doubt make the nit OF
the show, as her charming voice. beau
tiful manners and genial disposition
have always endeared her to the hearts
of her many friends.
Mrs. Hugo Her7er is also in the cast
and it is unnecessary to say that she
will be also well received by her many
admirers. Mrs. Herzer has always
been a favorite with the Honolulu
theater-goers and off the stage hel
friends are too numerous to mention
Sonny Cunha will without a doubt
make the male hit of the show. and il
is suggested that, if anyone goes to the
theater with the blues, it is safe to say
that they Will go away minus them

he has seen and heard during his early
morning drives on the milk wagon.
