DOCTORS MET AT CEDAREDCE.

tives were present from nearly every
point in the county and were enter
tanned by our local doctors. Their
meeting was held in the Office of DIR.
Bolton where business relative to the
medical profession was discussed. The
only business of public nature trans
acted was the appointment of different
physicians who are to write articles for
the county press relative to public
health and prevention of disease.
sELLERs-BLODGETTE
The following item from the Gunnison
News-Champion will be of interest to
many people of this valley and Delta.
The bride, Miss Blodgette taught school
in the Eckert district few years ago
where she has many friends. She is
also well known in Delta:
On Tuesday evening at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs ]. H. Gavette quiet but
pretty wedding ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Stephen Lumley, pastor of
the Methodist church. The contracting
parties were Miss Emmeline L. Blodg-
ette and Mr.. l.. H. Sellers, both of
Lake City. The bride. beautiful
young lady, is known to many as a
successful school teacher for several
years in this community. After the
ceremony the happy pair drove to Ohio
creek to visit with friends and to cele-
brate the occasion. They will be at
home to friends in few days at Lake
City.
HELLAND-HALL.
At the home of the BRIDES mother,
Mrs. Emily Hart, on Wednesday even
ing occurred the marriage of Emily
Grace Holland and George Roy Hall
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
]. S. Ferris in the presence of few of
the immediate relatives of the contract
ing parties.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall are both well and
favorably known at Cedaredge where
they have resided for some years. They
will leave in few days for White
River country where the groom is
interested in large ranch, and make
that their home.
EXPENSIVE RUNAWAY.
VIM. Kiser had quite runaway last
week while bringing two cases of spawn
down from the lakes. When about half
way down the mountain one of the
horses kicked over the tongue which
startled both animals causing them to
run. They had gained considerable
speed when the tongue broke and the
broken end dropped and went into the
ground with such force that Mr.. Kiser
and the contents of the wagon were
thrown out with considerable force.
MIR. Kiser received number of bruises
and sprains, but considers himself lucky
that he had no bones broken. The two
cases of spawn to the number of 25O,-
600 were total loss as the jar was too
much for the frail eggs. The wagon
was also reduced to kindling wood. In
all, the accident was pretty expensive
one for MIR. Kiser.

DR.. H. G. Broodshire left for Denver
the first of the week. He was very
mysterious when questioned by re-
porter as to the object of hisgoing. and
intimated that it was nobody's business
but his own. Well, of course he did
not say it just that way the doctor
could not be rude If he tried-but, all
things considered we feel safe in pre-
dieting that the population Of Paonia
will be increased by one upon his return.

Good BURGLAR Alarm.

At the top of the stairway in the
Grigson dwelling there was a board
that emitted loud creak whenever
anybody stepped on it. Mr.. Grigson
was always intending to have the
thing fixed" but never did it, and by
common consent the members OF the
family usually stepped over it, particu-
larly when the head of the family had
gone to bed
One night, very late, just as Mr..
Grigson was dropping off to sleep
somebody stepped on that board and
It gave forth it's customary loud pro-
test.
There you go again!" he angrily
called out. That's you this time
John! Pretty time of night for you
to be getting to bed!"
John, the eldest son, made no re-
Spouse, brit instead there was rush
and a ju1ap down the stairs that
brought the whole household into the
hall just in time to hear the front
door slam. A hurried investigation
disclosed a bag of valuables which
a frightened burglar had left.
The board still squeaks.

This is why his prescription-Dr.

to strengthen a weak stomach, heart

At the end of the year, city

SO he and Mabel went ON acting

between him and the club.
A revelation came to Mike after
a few months. Out west people
who had heard of Mike the ball
player, couldn't understand what
he was doing away from the Polo

going on.
1t isn't any slam on Mike to
say he is not a great actor like

Cornelius McGillicuddy leader
of the Philadelphia Athletics, run
ners-up in the American league
race, is coming on.
The wizard of base ball, they
call this long-legged, long-drawn-
out bit of machinery. It's COM
ing to him, all right.
Connie Mack. with a team of
youngsters, with the smallest pay
roll of any big league team. is
pushing Hugh Jennings Tiger
hard for the lead.
The 1909 Athletics Is the result
of daring plan of Mack.
The old Athletics, winners of
two pennants, always to be fig
ured on In the race, were wear
ing out. In 1907, after a hard
fight, they lost their chance for
the pennant in Thinning
struggle with Detroit.
In that game young energy and
enthusiasm triumphed against
old. seasoned base ball mechan-
ism. The old players-once the
glory of the game-couldn't stand
the gaff.
And Connie Mack, sitting OBJ
scurely under the roof of the
players bench. was thinking,
thinking.
He could risk one year of un-
popularity, he decided-the I'M
popularity that follows the man
ager of losing team. He would
devote a year-the year 1905
to training up for 1909. In the
meantime, forget the pennant.
SO the old Athletics disap-
peared. Socks Seybo1d went back
to the minors. The brilliant
Jimmy" Collins likewise. Ossie
|Schreck went out, and Murphy to
the bench Rubs Waddsll was
sold to st. Louis. Mike Powers
the plucky catcher, died.
Only Harry Davis and Topsy
Hartsei. in the field. and Bender
and Plank. pitchers. remained.
