VIENNA. oct. 29.-Dispatches from

thorities are preserving the utmost Sc
crecy regarding the affair, and few of
the details have leaked out.
It is certain that numerous secret ar

commanding officers to warn their

which there is the slightest suspicion.
In political circles here it is suspect
ed that the Bulgarian conspiracy is
part Of the recently discovered move

their respective rulers, King Peter and
Prince Nicholas, and in favor Of a union
Of the countries under a single SOW

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevoIutionized the
Treatment Of Skin Diseases.

EEeaEmenE OF SKIN Diseases
Nothing in the history OF medicine has
ever approached the success Of the mar
velous skin remedy known as poslam,
which, it is safe to say, has cured more
cases Of eczema and skin diseases than
any remedy ever offered for these ills.
The success Of poslam is not at all
surprising when it is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately and
cures chronic cases in two weeks. The
very worst cases of eczema, as well as
acne, herpes, letter. piles. salt rheum.
rash, crusted humOrs, scaly scalp and
every form Of itch yield to II readily.
Blemishes such as piiuples, red noses,
muddy and inflamed skin disappear al
most Immediately when pnslam is ap-
piled, the complexion being cleared
over night.
Every druggist keeps both the 50-cent
size (for minor trOubles) and the 81 jar,
and either of these may be obtained in
Washington at Ogram's, o Donneli's,
the Peoples Drug Store, Afleck's, as
we'll as other reliable drug stores.

perimental package which win be sent

merchant has population of about one to every acre. And so, although the Grand Valley is small in area, con sidered from the eastern standpoint it is a rich and populous territory from the merchants point of view | The Grand Valley is only forty miles in length, with an average width of six miles, On either side loom high noun tains, which shut off cold winds and from whence comes the precious water which makes the wealth of the fertile land. Approximately it has 150,00C acres of fertile land adaptable to the cultivation of fruit.
 All of the fruit land is irrigated, but there is no lack of water. The avail able water supply can irrigate more than 100000 acres. The United States government is now completing the surveys on what is known as the High Line ditch and actual work has started. This ditch alone will bring an additional 10000 acres under irriga tion, and some of the land is being planted now, with the expectation of getting water as it is needed.
 Fruit is the poor mans harvest so the people of the Grand Valley believe Five acres will support family, ten will make a man independent for life. They estimate that each acre of fruit will support one person. And acting on that theory, the Grand Valley will

Palisade the reverse is true. A mile and half from Palisade is a big coun- try school house with six rooms. Three hundred students attend the school, which may give an idea of the density of the population.
 The fruit industry in Grand Valley is conducted on business basis. The farmers early learned the advantages of cooperation
 The fruit growers organizations market the entire crop. The usual fric- tion between farmer and commission man is thus eliminated The fruit growers association arranges for the shipments east and west and to Flu rope. It takes entire charge of the crop once it is ready for market. The grower need not bother his head after he gets his fruit packed The associa- tion does the rest, thus giving the grower the advantage of carload rates in shipment, the profit of the best prices and also the assurance of a steady market.

Stories of Colorado and
 The Rocky Mountains WONDERFULLY RICH GRAND
 VALLEY.

In the great valley of the Grand River, on the Western Slope of Colo rado, thousands of fruit growers are getting rich off of five and ten-acre tracts of land. They work a few months each year real hard, and a ma Jority of them spend their winters in California-or go 10 Europe. Grand Junction is the largest town in the val ley, being located near the confluence Of the Grand and Gunnison Rivers, only short distance from the Utah line. Residents of the valley leave home at 4:0o o'clock in the afternoon over the Colorado Midland and are in Denver for breakfast Palisade, twelve miles east of Grand Junction, is the second largest town in the valley.
 One by one the Eastern farmers are learning of the advantages offered them in Colorado, and once they are convinced do not hesitate long in sur rendering the big 160-acre farm back East for the little peach and pear and apple orchards of the Western Slope. For instance, H. J. Box of Perry, Iowa, came to Palisade a short time ago and looked around He saw and was con- fiASCu A lcW udyS dSO u0 UOuSul d six-year-old orchard of fifteen acres at S2,250 per acre. Six years ago the same land changed hands at $45 an acre. The fruit trees made the differ ence. Box's Iowa farm probably brought $150 an acre, and his fifteen acres will pay double that amount an- nually on each acre.
 A fruit country makes a good busi. ness town. Instead of drawing trade from big farms scattered over wide territory of 160 to 320 acres each. the

Happy Meeting.

One of the happiest reunions of recent date occurred on last Saturday, when MT. and Mrs. A. J. Caten, of Conemaugh, Pa., arrived in the city to visit Mr. Caten's brother, James Caten, who resides south of town.
 Overjoyed by the fairy tales of the green fields just ahead, forty two years ago, then only a youth of nineteen, James Caten cut loose from home and loved ones to seek the riches that lay out so invitingly before him, and since that time he had not been seen or heard from until last win ter, when sister got in comm h. nication with him through the local postmaster and a govern ment official in Iowa, where he resided before coming to this State. The brother, A. J. Caten, soon got in communication with him also, which terminated in the present visit.
 James Caten is one of our lead ing farmers, and we hope that the reunion will be one of contin- ued joy.

Obituary.

On Friday morning, July 18th, just as the darkness of night gave way to the light of another beautiful day, the angel of death entered the home of MT. and Mrs. J. H. Mcclure, and bore with it the spirit of their sweet young daughter, Maude, aged 20, to that bright home above.
 Maude was a patient sufferer for twelve long days, while her loving parents and friends did all in their power to soothe her pain but God had need of an other jewel, so at last saw fit to break that slender cord that binds the soul to the body, and take her spirit home.
 Maude was a sweet Christian girl, having united with the Bap- tist Church at Hagen about four years ago, and she honored those vows in her daily walk. She had many friends wherever she was known, for to know her was to love her. She was their only child, and the heartbroken pa rents have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
 But, dear parents, weep not, for we know that God knows best, and we must bow in hum- ble submission, and say, Father, thy will be done" And we know

 Chance for the Poor Man.
 Ten acres, the fruit men say, will make man rich. This is all one man can care for, and as the acreage under one control is increased, it is claimed, the productiveness must necessarily be less from lack of individual atten- tion. Of course, all men do not hold to the same theory. Werner z. Reed. the Colorado Springs millionaire. put out 1000 acres to fruit on the Western Slope last year. w. B. Cross of Den yer, who was and still is interested in the shoe business there, has recently moved to the Grand Valley, where he has planted 240 acres in fruit-apples, peaches, pears and cherries. He has one of the most magnificent ranches on the slope, on a high level stretch of ground, commanding a view of miles, and with an ideal home. His is a new orchard-240 acres. In few years at the estimate usually indulged in at Grand Junction, his farm will be producing an income of nearly S150,G00 annually.
 The poor man has the same chance with the man who can buy hundreds of acres-better. For he can produce more fruit to the acre than the man or corporation with the big acreage. Ten acres is the average sized fruit ranch in the valley. Many are but five acres, while one acre suffices in many cases for the man who lives in town In Palisade are many homes with the average yard, where sufficient fruit is produced to pay the living expenses of the family In Grand Junction the fruit trees within the city are few.

 Three incandescent bulbs in a row, upon conspicuous board, burned brightly at the Intorna- tional Tuberculosis Exhibition, both at Washington and New York;" says standard maga- zine. " At short intervals the lights flashed out. then on again. Underneath the lights the crowd could read the following facts:
 " With each flash of the light some one is dying from tubercu- losis in the United States. ;
 One every , minutes, 36 sec onds."
 Twenty three every hour"
 Five hundred and forty eight every day"
 Two hundred thousand every year.
 Think what this means If we take a walk, for exercise, eight persons will have died before we have gone a mile. Do we sit down to dinner ? Before we have arrived at the coffee twenty persons will have succum bed to the white death. Do we turn in for a good nights rest One hundred and eighty victims of tuberculosis will have passed away in the United States before we rise refreshed for work of the coming day.
 It is a well known fact tha dairy cows are fertile source tuberculosis. The extent and rapid increase of bovine tUbercu- losis in various countries has, during recent years, caused alarm because of it's danger to human health. It is practically assured that this disease can be directly communicated to man through the milk which these animals give. There is no argument" asserts a Govern ment bulletin upon the subject, to justify the sale of milk se- creted by tuberculosis udders, reeking with pus and the micro organisms which it contains, changed in it's chemical compost tion, and unsavory to every civil ized person.
 The Board of Health of the city of Memphis has declared that no milk from COWS that have not stood the tuberculin examination will be allowed to be sold Tn that city in the future.
 This action may appear harsh one to the people of this section who are so vitally interested in the dairy business. But in view of the foregoing facts this action was only just one on the part of the Board, and was a duty which it owed to the welfare of the people of Memphis.
 We are assured of help from the Government in this inspec- tion, although we do not know to what extent. If we take advan- tage of this opportunity, and conduct the test for tuberculo- sis, we can continue to market our milk in Memphis ; otherwise it will not be accepted. It is to be trusted that every dairyman will lend his most hearty CO., operation in this important move
