TAINTED WHILE EATING SUPPER.

The citizens OF Ordway gathered at
the park on Tuesday evening and en-
Joyed one Of the best and most up to
date soclals OF the season. The ladies'
OF the Christian Tabernacle certainly
know how TO prepare a progam and
entertain the crowd. The band was
In evidence and the music enjoyed by
all. The ice cream and cake was just
simply immense" and at late hour
when the sad news was reported to
the multitude that the cream was all
gone Il certain party who was waiting
to be waited upon, tainted. There
was something doing all the time and
the event Will long be remembered
in Ordway. Several gallons OF cream
were killed" but not our Teddy"
and the members OF the church were
"dclightcd."

DON'T BE 4 BORE.

The most annoying bore in the whole
galaxy is the one who II continually
unable to realize, when he calls upon
you, that you are busy and need every
minute OF your time. The walls of
your Office may be covered with mot
toes requesting visitors to 'cut IL
short" and the expression on your
face may be that OF meat AK, but the
bore Is imperviOus to hints OF any
sort, and the only way you can get rid
of him is to take him by the slack Of
his garments and rush him out Of
doors. The newspaper Office Is al
ways the fayuritc resort OF the long
windcd bore, who takes half an hour
to tell something that isn't worth
telling, and which might easily be re-
lated in thirty seconds. II newspaper
workers are sometimes cranky and shy
OF patience, IL should always be re-
mcmbcrcd that the borcs have driven
them to desperation. How beautiful
upon the mountain are the footsteps
OF the pilgrim who explains his err
rand in u score OF words, and then
wishes everybody godspeed, and takes
his umbrella and goes. He is as
radiant rs the morning, but rs scarce
as hens tecth.-Walt Mason.

MiSJUDGED.

Not one girl in thousand deserves
the estimate evil-minded men place
upon her. We have seen young women
burst into tears when some thought.
less, innocent act Of her was analyzed
as the common herd would view II.
She meant no wrong. Girlish I'M
pulse is responsible for many Il nasty
bit of gossip. And for this reason we
would caution young women against
even the appearance OF evil. Actions
are So easily misronstructed, and cs-
pecially in this age, when chivalry
seems to be extinct, and when men
are so prone to look upon pure and in
nocent womanhood with lecherous
eyes and bestial intention. Because
this is the situation, young women
should be more particular, prudent
and watchful of their conduct. The
girl who chews gum in public-who
talks loud on the street car-who
dresses In unseemly gaudy raiment-
must not complain If her actions are
misconstructed. All men, no matter
how base or immoral, admire dignity
and refinement in women. These are
eer greatest weapons. These are the
attributes which distinguish her from
the stronger sex and which glorify her

Stockholders of the Breckenridge
Basin Oil Company held a meeting In
this city last Monday morning for
the purpose Of considering the advls-
ability of putting down Il second mole
In the ground in that much touted
oil basin. The experimental hole was
bored to depth of 1,7oo feet, and
although the indications were the
best that have ever been encountered
in the valley, there was not sign OF
real grease. Oil sand was found IN
abundance, from which Is was evident
30 the experts say, that the grease hao
retarded, or gone back deeper into the
basin. 1t is now proposed to pore u
second hole deeper into the basin, or
about twenty miles to the north ana
west of the experimental hole. The d.
rectors OF the company decided to rec
ommepd that the second hole be put
down. and the secretary of the COM
papy. A. b. Wallis, was notified 10
advise all OF the stockholders to that
effect and ascertain their sentiments
In regard to the matter. 1t Will prop
ably be definitely known some DAY
next week whether or not a secohd
well will be put down.-La Junta

SLASHING 1T DOWN.

The moving machines are slashing
down one of the best alfalfa crops ever
grown in Colorado and the business OF
stack making as ornaments to the
landscape will continue all summer.
One dry farmer twenty miles east OF
Denver has fine stand of 200 acres
now in the early bloom which will cut
500 tons of hay during the season and
this is all grown without irrigation.
The common practice on big fields Is
to allow the hay to lie day or two in
the swath and then stack it with a
go-devil but this is not the best way
to cut alfalfa although it may be the
easiest and cheapest method. We pre-
fer to bunch it so that the hay will
air-dry instead Of stewing IN the sun.
A few of our farmers have found it
expendient to sprinkle a mixture OF
lime and salt on every foot or two
layer as the stack goes up but the most
of us ale too busy to fool away much
time in this way. No doubt the salt
and lime have beneficial effect In the
curing process and the hay comes out
brighter but the livestock do not seem
to care much more for it than when
put up straight Those who have
some straw left over can utilize 1t by
making the alfalfa sandwich and in
this way the hay can be put up with
out so much drying In the field. A
foot layer of straw to two or three OF
alfalfa is about the right proportion
and the sandwich serves very we'll to
fool the cattle In the winter.-Farm

BANK CASES K0LLiED.

In the district court this week all
OF the cases pending against d. w.
Barkley, assistant cashier of the de-
funct Rocky Ford State Bank, were
nulled on motion OF the district at
torney, and likewise tibet remaining
cases on the docket pending against
John E. Godding, president OF the
funct bank, and E. J. Smith, cashier,
both OF whom are at present serving
terms In the penitentiary at Canon
City. All OF the parties were charged
with receiving deposits after they
knew the institution at Rocky Ford
to be in an insolvent condition.
Young Barkley was entirely guilt
less In the matter ef the banks in
solvency so far as any criminal intent
was concerned, and there will probably
be no regrets over the fact that the
cases against him will never come to
trial. AS to Godding, it is announced
that the depositor's committee will
file new charges against him and cause
his arrest rs soon as his present term
OF two and One-half years In the peni-
tentiary expires. People who suffer-
ed through the failure OF the bank are
determined that Godding shall pay
full penalty OF his crime.-La Junta

1T HAPPENED THIS WAy,

Conrad Valentine, Russian boy, IL
years OF age was crawling through a
window Of the shack at late hour
Monday night when his father mis-
took him for George Meyer whom he
had been quarreling with on previous
occasions, and pulled shot gun on
him, cmptying the contents OF one
barrel In one OF the boys legs Just
above the knee making ghastly
wound that may yet result In the loss
Of the limb. He was brought into
town Tuesday TO the home OF John
Eichmann where his wound was
dressed by DR.. Woods.
LArEn-It was found necessary to
amputate the mangled limb on We'd
nesday. Later reports were favorable
TO the boys recovery.

was NOT INVITED.

Two farmers were discussing the
Record on Main street the other day.
One thought the paper had too many
advertisements In 1t. The other re-
piled: "1n my opinion the advertise
ments are far from being the least
valuable part OF it. look them over
carefully and save at least five times
the cost OF the paper each week
through the business advantages l
get from them"
81 don't know but what you are
right" said the second farmer. II
know they pay me we'll and rather
think 1t is not good taste to find fault
with the advertisements after ALL"
Those men have the right idea of
the matter. 1t pays any man with
family to take the local home paper
for the sake OF the advertisements if
nothing more. II business men fail to
give farmers chance to read adver-
tisements in the local paper, they are
blind to their own interests.
"You never trade with me-" said
business man to a prosperous farmer.
"You have never invited me to your
place Of business, and l never go
where l am not invited because l
might not be welcome" was his reply.

The following is quoted from pros.
perity speech of a southern congress.
man: Has 1t ever occurred to you,
Mr.. Chairman. that the cotton cloth
made in South Carolina annually
would make sheet big enough to
cover the entire face of America and
Europe and lap over on the toes of
Asia? Or, If all the cattle she raises
in each year were one COW, she would
browse on the tropical vegetation
along the equator. while her tail
switched icicles off the north pole, and
that her milk could float shipload of
her butter and cheese from Charleston
to New York? Or. II all the mules we
market each year were one mule, II
would consume the entire annual corn
crop OF North Carolina at one meal,
and kick the spots off the sun without
swelling Its sides or shaking its tail? L?
Or. II the hogs we raise annually were
one hog, that animal would dig the
Panama canal in three roots. without
grunting. and its squeal would be loud
enough to jar the cocoanuts of the
trees along the canal zone?

WARD DIVISION
IS LIKELY, IN
SPITE OF PROTEST
The Third, in Kearny, Will
Probably Be Cut Into
Three Divisions.

Despite the fact that the Third Ward
Republican Club, of Arlington. has
asked the Kearny Common Council not
to cut up it's wards into more than
two districts, it is thought that Mayor
Louis NJ. Brock, who is a member of
the club, will attempt to carry
through his original idea, that OF max
Ing three districts in each ward.
The tri-division plan came about
after the last election, when. it was
found that in some of the wards over
six hundred votes had been cast and
the election officers had to work all
night to complete the count, some Of
them putting In nearly thirty-six
hours at the polls.
The chief argument against the
triune division is the extra cost. This,
Mayor Brock has stated, will be stood
by the county, and the town will be
put to not much greater expense than
at present, n the returns can be had
more readily. The idea of the Mayor
has impressed a great many, and they
are in sympathy with the proposed
three-district plan.

25OlB. NEGRESS
SUES FOR MARRIED
FACIAL BEAUTY
Wants $1,000 from Doctor Who
Used Acid on Her Face
for Erysipelas.

On the ground that her facial beauty
had been destroyed and her earning
powers as a cook had greatly decreased,
Mrs. Charles Tickets, a negress of some
go pounds net weight. figured as the
plaintiff in the trial of an action FOR
$1,000 damages, in which she was joined
by her husband to the extent of $t.h0o
more, begun before Judge Heisley in the
Circuit Court today against DIR. George
Crockett Beckett. She lives at 100 North
Walnut street, East Orange, and was
represented by Alfred B. Coscy.
According TO this lawyer, whose story
was again gone over under oath Oh the
witness stand by Mrs. Ricketts,. DIR.
Beckett applied carbolic acid to her face
when she went into his ,otfice in June.
1907, for treatment for erysipelas, and
she still bears the scar on her face.
Mr.. Cosey told the twelve men that
the physician was reckless and careless
and when asked by her what had been
put on her face admitted that it was
carbolic acid, and that he had made a
mistake, which he tried TO rectify with
the use of some liniment. II WAS alsD
asserted that the physician said on the
occasion of a second visit that lie was
sorry for what he had done.
After that | went to another doc
tor" Mrs. Ricketts, said, when called up
on to testify, land he said that he could
not do me any good and that the marks
on my face would be there as long as
lived
Talk a little louder" Mr.. Cosey said
to his client in the course of the exam
nation.
DO you want me to holler?' she
demanded, with some Indignation. Il
a hardly hold my face, and there is a
kind of dizziness at my head"
Asked how much she had expended
to effect a cure, the cook said, "All l
made and then she declared that she
nearly lost her job because h was un-
able to wait at the table and answer
the doorbell, as her face made her so
u~npresentable.
Miss Elizabeth Caesar, a friend OF the
cooks, and Mr.. Ricketts, testified to the
face and it's effects. The latter fig
ures in the suit for loss of his wife's
services. He swore that his wife did
not feel like working" since the occur
renee. and that he wouldn't have that
mark on her face for $1,000"

VERMEULE TAKES
STAND IN EAST
ORANGE SUIT
Engineers Testimony Relieves
MonOtony of LOng-Drawn-
Out Trial.

The monotony of the trial of Engineer
Cornelius c. Vermeule's action to re-
cover s26, 1881 from the City of East
Orange, which began a week ago yes
terday, and will run we'll into next
week, was somewhat relieved in the
Supreme Court Circuit before Judge
Adams today by the simple fact that
the engineer himself was called to the
witnes s-stand.
On the preceding days there was
nothing done in the way of taking
testimony, except the reading of an
apparently endless lot of vouchers that
had been made out in connection with
the water-supply system of the city,
on which the suit is based, as the engi-
neer claims the amoun on a 5 per cent.
commission contract for labor and
material furnished. The total cost of
the plant was 81, 0S1, 654. IS.
Mr.. Vermeule, who is represented by
former Attorney-General Robert II.
McCarter. gave testimony along the
line of the work he had done and iden-
titled several letters that he had writ
ten to the authorities of East Orange
in connection with the development of
the water supply. A blueprint of the
system was packed up in the court
room for the e~lucidation of the jury.
