Word comes from the Colorado
State Fair management that they
are in hearty accord with Governor
Buchtel's stand against race track
gambling. The Colorado State
Fair is an enterprise entirely above
and beyond any dependence on
gambling, says the management.
1t is an exposition of the natural
resources and varied products of
this great state, held for the pur-
pose of enlightening our own peo-
pie and all who may attend from
other regions, in regard to what
magnificently firm basis exists
for Colorado's glorious future de-
velopment. The State Fair man
agement aims solely for educa-
tional uplift along the above lines,
feeling that it is well worth while
for all of the citizens of the state
to gather once a year to mutually
exhibit and inspect the latest re-
suits of their progress in agricul-
tural, horticultural. mineral, stock
raising and other lines of effort.
Rev. Minimier of Antonita was
an arrival Thursday and held ser
vices that evening at the Metho-
dist church. He is related to
Prof. Faris and is of the Presby-
terian denomination. Beginning
next Sunday he will preach both
morning and evening, at IL and s
O'Clock each alternate Sunday.
Other Sundays Methodist minis
ter will occupy the pulpit; by this
arrangement there will be services
at the church every Sunday here
after.

IN MEhORIUM.

Died. at her home west of La
lara, Mrs. John w. Schecter. aged
thirty-two years.
Seldom has it been our duty to
record so sad death, and while
all hope of her recovery had been
abandoned for more than a week
prior to the end, the sad news was
a severe shock to her myriads of
friends and IA dark gloom spread
over the whole community when it
was whispered from one to another
Monday morning that, Mrs.
Schecter has gone"
All the care and love that skilled
physicians and an anxious house
hold could devise and apply for
her comfort and assistance were
brought into play, bat the fiat of
Him who rules our incomings and
outgoings had been issued and
after an heroic struggle, despite
the prayers and entreaties of all
who knew and loved her and the
noble. brave and valiant battle she
waged against death. their appeals
were overrulcd and before the
beautiful morning of June Sth was
kissed by the rising sun, the suf-
ferer's spirit took flight to that
home the Christian believes is the
fultillment of the life everlasting.
She ran the journey of her life
in thirty-two years and it is a path
marked with deeds of kindness and
cheer. Flowers not thorns. sun
shine not shadow, she scattered
everywhere; and with these she
was lavish. OF AN affectionatc dis
position, bright and winning in
her ways, friendships circle was
to her a large one, and her I'M
timely death will be deeply
mourned.
Deceased was born at Indianola,
ILL.,, March IL, 1876. and was mar
ried March 2l, 1897, at Danville,
Ill.,, to John w. Schecter. They
