Pope's Priceless Clothes.
From the Dartnit Free Press

The most costly wardrobe in the
world belongs, without a doubt, to the
pope. Etiquet compels him to wear
different garments each day OF the
year, and as nearly all of them are
ornamented with rich and rare gems,
no millionaire could hope to purchase
them, even If a value could be placed
on them. The pope's little skull caps
are Of the finest silks, while his m
broidered slippers of velvet are gor-
geous to look at. Still more costly are
his gloves, made of white wool, en-
broidered with fine pearls in the shape
of a cross.
A special herd Of 80 sheep is kept
from which all the papal wooden gar
ments are manufactured. The sur
plices are of the most valuable and
beautiful lace, while n long cape,
the "cappa magma" which is rarely
worn, hangs straight from the should
ers, and literally CLEANS from top to
bottom with gold and precious stones.
The rings, too, which the pope wears,
are priceless, containing, as they do,
many stones Of matchless quality. !

matter was definitely determined upon
at general meeting and banquet held
last Tuesday evening in Grand Valley.
A special train over the Colorado Mid
land has been chartered for this coun-
ty, the contracts having been signed
by the officers Of the Garfield County
Commercial Association. This organi-
zation urges all residents of the coun-
ty who intend TO visit the show to Sc
cure their tickets for this train. in or,
der that Garfield county may land in
Denver in great style and attract the
attention which she deserves. Every
one at tho meeting was of the un-
snimous opinion that this county is big
enough and important enough to have
a special train Of her own, and now
that the enterprise is an assured sue
cess, there is not the slightest doubt
one way or the other that it will de-
velop into one Of the btst advertise
ments for this section of the state
that it has ever enjoyed.
The train will leave Glenwood Springs
promptly at $50 A. NJ, Tuesday, Jan
uary 4th,. and tho Midland people ad.
wise that it will have right of track
over everything between here and Den
yer. Tho capitol city will be reache l
in time to allow passengers to attend
the apple show that night if they 50
desire.
The train will consist of chair cals,
dining ca, and free observation car.
and no stops for passengers will be
made between the eastern Garfield
county line and the Denver Union de-
pot. Breakfast, luncheon and dinner
will bs served on the dining car .c
those desiring all or any of the meals
The contract for the special trair
made between the commercial organi
zstion and the railroad calls for a rat:
Of $40 for the round trip for every
body, and there will be no extra charg;
for seats in the observation car. II
this car all of the entertainment an
"stunts" will be pulled off en- route
A movement has been started among
enthusiastic to take along some music

probable that the Rifle band will GO
along.

MED by his wife, reached here TO-
night from Portland, and within half
an hour was in conference with Gen.
Thomas N. H. Hubbard, president
Of the Peary Arctic club, concerning
the statement which soon will be
made public by Commander Peary to
support his contention that DR.. Fred
elick A. Cook did not reach the pole.
The conference was still in progress
late tonight.
"There is nothing to say just
How," said Gen. Hubbard tonight.
'!-No date has been set for the
meeting Of the officers Of the Pcary
Arctic club and | shall not deter
mine that until my return to New
York this week.
The conference will be continued
tomorrow and late in the day Com
mander Peary probably will return
to Eagle Island.
From what can be learned Of the
conference tonight Peary went. over
every phase Of his evidence against
DR.. Cook, dating from the time the
Brooklyn explorer began his prepara-
ton to go north, more than two years
ago, and until after Peary's inter-
views with DR.. Cooks Eskimos at
Etah.
There was large crowd at the
steamboat landing Notwithstanding
inclement weather, to give Command
er Peary and his wife a hearty well
come to-day.
During the trip to Bar Harbor,
Peary spoke of Harry Whitney.
"There might have been some strange
reasons why Whitney did not go
back to Etah in the JEANNE for DR..
Cooks stuff,". he said. F'I can not
understand how any ore could let
such records get out of his hands. l
would not give my records to my
dearest relative. I say again, l don't
see how Cook could have turned his
stuff over to Whitney or anybody
else. 7 secured my instruments in a
BAG and the flag which [ took to the
pole T sewed in my clothes and l
wore it until I reached Battle Har-
Dor.
II kept my records under watch
day and night and I was prepared IN
case the Roosevelt was crushed IN
the ice to throw them overheard so
that they could float in their cases.
Can you imagine me giving those
records to a perfect stranger?
"Harry Whitney did not tell me
what was in DR.. Cooks stuff except
six fox skins, a narwhal horn and
some other trophies. I could not see
I should have carried the stuff when
Cook could have taken it.. If DIR.
Cooks stuff was Of such Importance
why did not Whitney go back IN the
JEANNE and get it?''

THE NEWS OF POMARIA.
Cotton Market Lively, With Three
Buyers.-GooG Work Being Done
on Roads.

Pomaria, September 27.-The high
price of cotton is making the farm
! ers feel good and I believe the mer-
chants, too.
Mr.. Howe Ligon spent few days
with his sister, Mrs. B. M. Settler.
He returned home last Monday. Mr..
Richard (better known as Dick) his
brother went with him.
Last week one of our ladies in town
found a hen nest with 40 eggs in it.
The hens certainly must have been
Of the guinea kind.
Some of our overseers have worked
their roads. Some have put them IN
fine fix. Mr.. H. M. Wicker worked
about l 81 miles, ploughing the sides
of the road with a two-horse turn
plow and having the hands, there
were only s, to throw the dirt to the
center, and putting his road in good
fix in two days. Where are the other
overseers who will do it?
There will be preaching in the
school house at half past three O'Clock
by Rev. J. J. Long, on the End Sun
day in October. Everybody is cor
daily invited.
Mrs. T. J. Hayes, Of Newberry, ac-
companied by Miss Riser, her niece,
visited Mr.. G. 3. Aull's family last
week.
Rev. J. J. Long preached two most
excellent sermons to very large
congregations. Rev. Longs sermons
are always very interesting.
We were sorry to hear Of the death
Of Mrs. Ike Sheely, mother of our
express agent, Mr.. J. W. Sheely. The
bereaved family have our sympathy.
Riding along the other day, we hap
pened to see an old colored woman
stufing a chicken in the mouth with
corn. We asked her if that was the
way she fed her chickens and she
said to US: "Boss, Is been having
dis here chicken in de coop fer bout
two weeks and it seems like the Old
fool won't fatten, and [ want to kill
it tomorrow, that was the next day,
and I thought | would try to fatten
it this Way.'
