BEST WORK OF OLD HASTERS
MADE BY DIR. ROWE

A splendid violin, rivalling In ap-
pearance and in the richness of its
tones the best efforts of the old
Flemish and italian violin makers,
has been produced by DR.. J. R. Rowe,
Of this city and has been exhibited by
him to a few of his more intimate
friends Almost infinite patience and
skill has been required to create 1t.
but DR.. Rowe has devoted to the task
the necessary time, and that fact, cou-
pied with a natural adroitness, has re-
suited in an instrument Of marvellous
characteristics. It has been highly

UNDrLY ALARMED IN RE.
LATION TO THE FRUIT CROP
OF THIS DISTRICT

In view Of the fact that = good
many apples in the orchards about
.Capon City have been dropping dur
ing the last few weeks many dis
oouraging and pessimistic reports In
relation to the fruit crop have been
circulated on the streets. State
nents have been made by those un-
acquainted with the real conditions
that there would be hardly more
than half an average yield OF apples
here this year. which Ia erroneous
and misleading. The experienced
fruit grower was not surprised that
some OF the apples should fall off,
indeed. that was to be expected as
q result OF the cold weather that
visited Colorado and other western
states at the time the trees were In
bloom. No more apples have fallen
than was anticipated and good

mercial varieties Ia a foreEone con-
elusion. unless. Of course. something
should happen to them between now

All OF the more experienced horti-

Is encouraging and that there is no
reason whatever for alarm because
the imperfect fruit is falling from

BIG FIRE At ROCKY
FORD THURSDAY NIGHT

Rocky Ford, Colo, June 19.-At
1890 Thursday night an alarm
was rung in to the fire station at
Rocky Ford. The pole and chemical
wagon started out and ran down an
alley where a carpenter shop was In
full blaze and the fire jumped across
to another building before the driver
could check his horses The team and
wagon stopped between the two burn
ing buildings so that the horses were
singed and the driver was in terri
fic heat and the team began to plunge
and a pile of poles directed them to
the left into a wire fence. By this
time the team and driver were being
badly burned and the drivers clothes
caught on fire. The team became en-
tangled in the barb wire fence and
pulled the wagon between the fence
posts and at this point the driver
jumped from the wagon to save his
life.

hose and wagon we're burning. The
marshal shot the horses. This not
only entails loss of between two and

a New York lawyers Discovery About
Payne Bill
To prevent the same trouble In the
customs service which grew out Of
disputes over the classification Of auto
mobiles imported into this country
when those vehicles first became OF
general use, the attention Of congress
has been directed to the failure to
provide In the new tariff bill a classifi-
cation for flying machines, which have
come into such prominence through
the work Of the Wrights, Glenn Cur
tiss, NJ. Bleriot and others.
'The work Of the Wrights and others
engaged In aviation, and especially the
feat Of NJ. BleriOt in flying across the
English channel" said Harvey T. An
drews, a lawyer OF New York, "re-
minds me Of the trouble and confusion
that arose over the classification Of
automobiles when they were first i'm
ported. / was then attached to the
force Of the appraiser Of the port, and
we had great difhculty In arriving at
any definite conclusion because no pro-
vision had been made for these ma
chimes in the tariff law. Now congress
has just agreed upon a rate for auto
mobiles In the new bill which will
be Of benefit to importers and will
not hurt American manufacturers, but
It has overlooked the most modern Of
all inventions"
