BOXING CARNIVAL
FOR THE JOLLY TARS.

San Francisco. Feb. 20.-Fight
Promoter Jim Coffroth is completing
plans for his contribution to the en-
tertainment of the Jack Tars of the
battleship fleet upon their arrival in
San Francisco. 1t will take the form
of a big program of boxing for the
first or Second Saturday afternoon
after the arrival of the fleet in the
bay to which both officers and the
men would be admitted without
charge. The box seats will be reserv-
ed for the officers of the fleet, while
the remainder of the big arena will
be thrown open to the men,
The invitation to the bouts will be
presented to Admiral Evans upon the
arrival of the fleet in Magdalena
Bay. In the meantime Coffroth will
communicate with the entertainment
committee, which will have direct
charge held during the presence of
the fleet here, so that the boxing
may be incorporated in the regular
list of events and may not conflict
with any plans the members of the
committee may make.
The boxing carnival will probably
consist of six six-round bouts be-
tween some of the niftiest men on the
coast. Jim Jeffries has agreed to
referee one of the bouts and will not
expect his usual fee of 81 900 for his
services.

NIGHT RIDERS SEND LETTERS
CONTAINING BULLETS
Mysterious and Dangerous Missives
Sent Through the Mails to
Kentucky Tobacco

While Assistant Postmaster Kelly
White, of Versailles, Kentucky, was
stamping the incoming mail Tuesday
cartridge in an envelope which was
being sent through the mails, ex-
ploded. An investigation proved
that the letter in question was one
same bundle of mail matter at the
Versailles office, and each, in addi-
ton to the blood red warning to the
party addressed, contained cart
ridge and match indicative no
doubt of the intention of the sender,
should the warnings not be needed
Investigation established the fact
that the letters were mailed in a
street mail box in Georgetown, Ky.
OF the twenty received by each of the
following farmers: c. B. Sullivan.
William Edwards, David Watts and
James Turner. The signatures to the
threats are the initials IN. r."
The letters were sent alike to
members of the Equity society. but
in every instance the party address
ed is said not to be in sympathy with
the idea of raising no crop this year
The warming read:
Scouts inform us that you are
determined to raise tobacco this year,
and are not signing the pledge U. t.,
and thereby attempt to starve thou
sands of little children and women to

MARKETING.
e+++++++ ++++++e

A practical knowledge of market
ing on the part of the housewife af
fects both the comfort and the ex-
penses of the whole family. Intelli
gence and skill in buying are needed,
but they are only secured by thought
and careful practice. The purchaser
must not be afraid to ask questions,
as most men with whom she will
have to deal will be patient, helpful
and reliable.
1t is usually to ones advantage to
select a regular place for marketing
Greater consideration is shown such
customers and better results are OBJ
tanned.
1t Is good plan to order for more
than one day at a time. If you have
consideration for those from whom
you are buying. by ordering grocer
les or meat in ample season, SO there
is sufficient time to fill the order,
you will find your orders will be
sent to you on time. Too many
housewives plan SO little beyond i'm
mediate needs; oftentimes they leave
the ordering of a roast until about
ten minutes before it should be in
the oven.
The telephone should never be
used regularly in place of frequent
to the order man have not proved so
satisfactory as the visits to the store.
Greater variety is secured by seeing
many unthought of articles: also a
closer economy.
Strong emphasis has frequently
been placed upon the fact that "the
best for the purpose is always the
cheapest" One writes, "In buying
meats as much nourishment and as
palatable food, If well cooked can
be obtained from cheap cuts as from
choice ones. In carpets or rugs, ex-
cellent wear and more service is Sc
cured from some not of the highest
price. On the other hand, it pays to
buy the best in many lines of grocer
les. for the best means the purest
and least adulterated.'

TO STOP LABORERS FROM
'WORkING" THE COMPANIES

so frequent have become the cases
OF day laborers who have secured
transportation to Colorado points
where work Is promised them, but
dropped off when they reached some
other point that they preferred, that
companies employing large numbers
OF men have started a prosecution
against everyone recaught, on the
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The complaint is
heard more or less every spring. but
this year it is said to be unusually
bad 1t Is hoped that these deser-
tions will be stopped by the prosecu-
tions that will be begun.
The first case of the kind occurred
saturday in Glenwood Springs. Eight
Italians were sent to Shoshone on
some construction work for the Col
orado Central Power Company. They
Were hired in Denver at $1.75 a day.
and given their transportation tn
Shoshone. The fare, which in this
case happened to be $5.25. was to
be deducted from the first month e
wages, according to the contract. The
Italians deserted and went to Glen
wood. The superintendent of the
Colorado Central Power Company
had them arrested there and Mon
uoy 'ney we're Hneu SZO and costs
and given 15 davs in Jail in each
case. The men told the story that
they had been forced to nay fee
TO an employment agency in Denver
and tried to create the impression
that they had been held up by fake
agent.
An officer of the Colorado Central
Power Company said yesterday that
companies employing large numbers
of men would take steps to stop
these desertions. His own company,
he said, was shipping out SO men a
week and were much troubled by the
fact that work was supplied to all
who came justifies the fee, he said.

CANON CITY COUNCIL
PROVIDES FOR GOOD WATER
Gravity System, to Cost More Than
$225,OOO, to be COnstructed.-
The Arkansas to Furnish
the Supply.

An ordinance authorizing and en-.
abling the city of Canon, City to con
struct a gravity system of water
works at cost not to exceed $685.
900 was passed on first reading in
the Canon City council Tuesday night
without a dissenting vote.
Four per cent 15-year bonds for
the amount have already been nego-
tiated to furnish the money for the
construction of the system next
spring. The issuance of these bonds
was authorized by the voters in a
special election in April, 1907, but
not until now has the council been
able to agree upon proposition.
According to present plans, the
water will be taken from the Arkan-
sas river at a point s miles above
the city. 1t will be conducted by a
24-inch pipe to large settling basins
and a reservoir near the northern
entrance of the city, from which 1t
will sbe fed directly into the city
mains by natural pressure. The "a
cubic feet of water which the city
owns in the river being considerably
in excess of the amount needed for
domestic use, the surplus will be
used in irrigating several hundred
acres of semi-arid land north of the
city, from which a considerable rev.
anue will be derived
1t is estimated that the new sys-
tenn cam be installed and operated
without a cent of additional taxes
and yield profit of not less than
$4,000 per annum over the pumping
system in vogue. To obtain the SEN
timent of the voters on the new prop
osition, 1t was submitted to them and
the vote as canvassed shows 1882
for and 27 against.
The new system may be made a
part of the proposed Cottonwood
creek scheme, for which the city pur-
chased some $4,000 worth of water
rights year ago. The cost of the
Cottonwood proposition is estimated
at 100000.

EGGS 40 CENTS IN CHICAGO.
Scarcity Due to Failure of Hens to
Supply Demand.

- Chicago, Dec. liking Midas, when
many years ago he transformed his
morning omelette into mass of gilt
tering gold, need not have been so
proud of his form of magic alchemy.
The modern egg is rapidly attaining Il
golden value and is causing the retail
purchaser the same loss of appetite for
the domestic fowls exclusive product
as Midas suffered when he attempted
TO digest his 1S-carat egg.
Hens this year have utterly failed
to supply the market properly, accord
ing to local merchants. Consequently
eggs have advanced to a wholesale
price of Sc cents a dozen for the
strictly fresh" By the time these
eggs reach the householder they have
reached a price of at least 40 cents a
dozen and in some cases cents
apiece. Less fresh eggs are quoted at
81 cents by the wholesale dealer and
the consumer is charged from 80 cents
upward.
The only hope for reduction of
price within the next thirty days, ac-
cording to the Chicago dealers, is a
revival of the laying industry among
hens of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and
other southwesterly states:

FROM FOREIGN FIELD
Rev. Albert Loughridge Tells of
Work in India.

The United Presbyterian church was
privileged to listen to a most excellent
missionary sermon yesterday morning
by Rev. Albert Loughridge, who has
been a missionary in Southern India
among the Telugus for thirteen years.
He is brother of James Loughridge
and Mrs Emily Coryen of this city,
and is visiting them at the present
time. ,....,
Rev. Loaghridge went down to the
bottom of things and presented to us
in most picturesque and vivid man
ner the condition of the heather world
and then contrasted this with Chris
tendon. The picture was so black on
one side that no one could help but
see the powerful influence OF Christ
and His truth to elevate man. We
do not think that any one could
thoughtfully listen to such a discourse
without becoming believer in Christ.
II was one of the most helpful mission
airy addresses we ever listened to,and
we know it will do great good.
In the evening the pastor preached
from the text found in Jno. 6: 66,where
some of the followers of Christ went
back and followed Him no more be-
cause of some of the things He said.
1t is a dark picture of unbeiief and
shows how some people will turn from
light and salvation because of preju-
dice and preconceived notions.

represented, They have helped estab-
fish churches in all of the states and
territories in the U. s. besides estab-

evening service also. Two young peo-
pie were baptized. Rev. Zendt, the
pastor, gave a second address on the

address from different standpoint,
but laid most earnest stress on the
thought that in His message to man,
God means just what He says. He
made this clear by many illustrations
and scripture references,
On next Thursday evening there is
to be a meeting of the whole church
for the reception of the sixty-three
new members recently added to the
church. At the close of the reception,
refreshments will be served by the
board of officers OF the church, con-
sisting of elders, deacons and deacon
