DIVISION MEETING AT FORD

A mass meeting called for Wednes'
day night of this week ut Rocky f"fu
was taken by storm by horthsinefs'
whose numbers alone would Indicate
the sentiment from this side OF 'h'
river. Thirty.ilve were present from
Olney, Sugar city, Ordway and hoN
Springs. The meeting was well hu-
yertised and the object as stated on
the dodgers, was Ia give residents o'
the south side OF the river an oppor-
tunity to raise objections, II they had
any to offer, why the division should
not be made. Owing to an entertain
ment being In progress that evening
Or, perhaps, lack OF interest In the
matter by the majority OF Rocky
Ford people, the attendance was small
the nOrth.siders being in the majority
The meeting was called To order by
Mr.. Sprinkler, secretary Of the Board
Of Trade, who announced the absence
OF President Lance and called Mr..
sheldon, the vice president, topreside.
Those opposed u the division seemed
backward about opening the argument
and Mr.. Bashur. of Ordway, was called
upon. He stated, in concise FORM
the wishes of the big majority on the
north side and was followed by Sena-
tor Swink, who seems favorable to the
proposition II IL will be best for all
concerned. w. B. Goblin expressed
himself-as did also Judge Minur-aS
being In favor of our divorce, II we are
desirous Of having IL granted, though
they are sorry to lose Us from the
present county. Short addresses were
made by W. e. lIanen and I. T.
Spindle, of Olney, aud Fred Bass, of
Ordway, followed by Attorney North,
of Rocky Ford. whose remarks were
along the line OF statements made in
his article published In several papers
last week. He omitted, however, the
estimates on the revenue from 81 ,jOO,-
900 at Il mills, which we considered
very wise.
He was followed by NJ. +. Bashor,
who assured Mr. North that, notwith-
standing the position lie had taken in
the matter at hand, there was no i'll
will toward him by the people over
here. The general sentiment OF the
meeting was not in opposition to the
division and the promoters are con-
tident there will be no serious object
ions made by the people OF the south
side.

800 PRISONERS IN TOWER.
False Electric Alarm Made Guards
Shut Tourists in.

London, July 16-The amusing, if
somewhat embarrassing situation in
which 800 Tower of London visitors
were placed when they suddenly found
themselves imprisoned behind locked
doors the other day brings to light the
defective manner in which the nations
treasures are guarded.
There is a system of secret electrical
alarms installed at the tower the sound
of which is signal for the immediate
closing of all doors in the building as
well as all entrances. On the occasion
referred to an atmospheric disturbance
set the alarm bell ringing in the guard
house and at once all the doors were
closed. Wardens and policemen took
their appointed stations and nobody
was allowed to enter or leave. The
officials were uncertain whether an at
tempt had been made to carry away
the crown jewels or to blow up the
tower and watch Was kept on the tour
lists until the order was given for the
doors and gates to be swung open
again.
Similar elaborate precautions against
robbery are in use at the British Mu-
scum. There is a secret electrical
alarm in every room and if a burglary
takes place in any part of the building
"a policeman has only to touch button
to notify all the officials. who close the
doors and entrance gates, which are
swung round by the turning of
crank. The National Gallery and other
art museums are equally well protected.

sicians are. puzzled by a strange mala-
DIV which afflcts the little son of Will

nosed as Addison's disease, which was
discovered by an eminent English ply
stefan of that name. The disease is a
form of tuberculosis which affects the
blood cells, causing the skin to turn a
reddish brown color, which gives way
to black hue before death. 1t has
been three weeks since the disease was
detected in the boy, who is about ten
years old. and already his body is
greatly discolored, and the brownish
hue is appearing in his face. The dis
ease is pronounced fatal. and no hope
is held out for the child's recovery.
Only a very few cases have ever been
reported in the United States.
