A MAN FROM KANSAS

A gentleman from Kansas ar
rived the first of the week. He
says he came here through the
agents of the Baca Grant and that
some 100 would be contractors are
awaiting his report. He says he
bought ticket to Motfat which
was represented as being the rail
road center of the great San Luis
Valley. When he reached desti-
nation that railroad center did not
meet his expectations and from
what he can learn there he de-
cided he didn't want any Grant in
his, and from Motfat he went to
Alamosa. That town looked pretty
good to him, but being unable to
rent house there came to Monte
Vista. Here he found rentable
houses as scarce as hens teeth.
He finally bought n house and
the tenant then had to do the
walking in search of place to live.

SALT LAKE ENcAMPMENT

Upon the occasion of the 43rd
National Encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic at
Salt Lake City, August 9th to l4th,
Salt Lake will undoubtedly be
called upon to entertain the larg-
est attendance of visitors that the
city has ever known. From all
over the Union will come the hosts
of the Grand Army intent upon
meeting their comrades, renewing
old acquaintance and seeing the
sights of this most interesting
city.
The attendance from Colorado
should be the largest from any
state in the union as our nearness
to Salt Lake City, and the very
low railroad fare offered, make
the trip both convenient and in
expensive.
The Denver L. Rio Grande Rail
road has been selected as the Off
cial route, and the official Colo
RADIO Special" will leave Denver
Saturday, August 7th, ut lO:45 Il.
M, arriving in Salt Lake City
Sunday, August sth at 4 p. m.
Complete arrangements have
been made for the convenience Of
comrades living in various p,lrts
of Colorado to join THE Colorado
Special Train at nearest station
to their homes, thus avoiding the
unnecessary expense Of making an
extra trip to reach the starting
point.
Sleeping cars will be located at
several principal points along the
line. and from present indications
the train will be the largest special
train pulling into Salt Lake City
for the National Encampment.
The Denver L. Rio Grande road
is sparing no effort or expense 70

DRINKS A DEATH TOAST
Chicago Bridegroom, With Farewell
Words, Joins Bride in Quaffing
Carbolic Acid.

Chicago, I1l.-"Let's drink to
death, sweetheart, and then we'll die
together"
With that toast as a farewell, John
H. Hollis, 20, and Mary Hollis, II,
his bride of six months, both of whom
were discouraged to the point of des-
peration, drank carbolic acid from
two small bottles in their room at a
hotel, then lay down to die.
The pair are in a precarious con.
dition at st. Luke's hospital, but ply
sicians say they will recover In ex-
planning their action John said that
after vainly trying to find work his
bride determined to end it all. After
spending all but 10 cents of the last
money they had, amounting to As
cents, on a meal at a cheap restau-
rant, they purchased carbolic acid
and drank it together. The druggist
had diluted the acid, and this is what
saved the couples lives.

CONGREGATION SEEKING PASTOR

Gus" TWICE.
PHYSIOLOGY IS THE SAME
Milwaukee Presbyterians Want to
Know Who Writes Preachers
Themes-candidates still
Await to Be "CalIed."

Milwaukee, Wis.--Who runs the
sermon syndicate?
That is the question the people Of
Calvary Presbyterian church, the most
important church of that denomination
in the city, are asking themselves and
their acquaintance these days.
Could 1t possibly be a mere &C.
cidental coincidence that two preach.
ers, each a candidate for the position
of pastor of Calvary church, studied
out the same sermon in exactly the
same way and with identical phras-
ing?
At an interval of two weeks that
congregation listened to the same SER
mon from two different men.
Calvary church wants a new minis
ter. 1t has been wanting a minister for
several weeks, and prospective can.
didates are being heard on each sue
cessive Sunday.
First Parson Makes Hit.
The preacher who made the best i'm
preston with the congregation is
from Chicago. He occupied the pulpit
Sunday, October 9. He was brought
here at the suggestion of a pillar in
h church. The congregation unan.
imously ratified his judgment and &C.
claimed the Chicago man a great
preacher.
Tentative plans we're being made to
have a call extended to him. Then It
was suggested that there would be
no harm In hearing a few more
preachers. Presbyterians are not dis.
tinctive for jumping at conclusions.
Rather they are inclined to be
clannish and cautious. So 1t was
agreed to hear a few more preachers
before a successor to the Reverend W..
Il. Graham be selected.
Last Sunday a pastor from
Mendoza, ILL.,, occupied the pulpit. He
also preached a good sermon, but #
was the same sermon preached two
weeks earlier by the Chicago parson.
AS soon as the congregation heard
the announcement of the theme. 1.-THE
Church Glorious" there was a coin.
cident Strengthening Of backs, the
pricking Of ears. Then the preacher
delved into the sermon, little guess
ing that its phrases were all fresh in
the minds OF his hearers.
