It has been customary in drydocking
vessels Of any great size TO have two

Committee Now Believes
Big Demonstration Has
Paid Its Way.
REMOVING STANDS
FROM THE STREETS
Decorations Coming Down and
City Regaining Normal
Aspect.

The inaugural period is at an end
Early this morning workmen began to
dismantle the Pension building of its
decorations. By tomorrow evening
nothing but the memory of the big ball
will re70ain. The clerks in the Pension
Office will return to duty Tuesday and
by Thursday the office will be operat-
ing as smoothly as ordinarily
BY the end of the week nothing will
be left on Pennsylvania avenue to re-
mind the visitor of the big show Some
Of the stands were torn down on Fri
day and good progress was made yes
terday. This morning the committees
in charge made arrangements to begin
demolishing the official stands and re-
moving decorations. The court of honor
will be attacked the first thing in the
morning.
Will Figure Accounts.
The finance committee will now get
busy and figure up the receipts and the
expenditures so that definite informa-
ton as to where the inaugural com
mittee stands financially can be h@d at
the earliest possible moment. The ma
terial with which the stands were con-
structed viii be offered for sale 10 the
highest bidders. Many offers to buy
the lumber have been made These
bids are FAR below the committees es-
innate of the value Of the material
One stand. the lumber for which cost
the committee close to 5000 is sought
by a local bidder for just $50 The lum-
Der on the stands is still useful for
many purposes.
The financial outcome is still a mat
ter of doubt. It is believed that the re-
ceipts from the sale of ball tickets Will
be found to amount to about $4,000. and
the sale of concert tickets Will add be-
tween $4,000 and S25,Oo0 to this. The
proceeds from the sale Of tickets 10
the reviewing stands, program, supper
and material must be added to this to
bring the amount up TO the 100000
needed TO clear expenses.
Allies More Hopeful.
Chairman Milton Z. Allies, Of the E.
nance committee, is wearing q much
better satisfied smile today than was
noticed On his countenance about 8
o'clock Oh the morning of March 4. Mr.
Allies now believes the committee will
come out with a dollar or two for char
ity. Practically every seat on the La
fayette square grandstand was sold
several days before the inauguration
The falling off Of the ball attendance
Is what hit the finances hardest, al
though Mr.. Allies reports an extraor-
binary attendance at the concerts.
The distribution of the inaugural
medals viii begin Tuesday under the
direction OF the various committee
chairrnen The subcommitteemen must
secure cards from their chairnen or Sc
cure the medals themselves from the
head of the committees. Several OF
the chairmen have already distributed
the cards and the officials at head
quarters have been receiving requests
for medals since the middle of last
week.
The medals are Of bronze and are Of
a most dignified design Those for
President Taft, Vice President Sherman
and Chairman StellWagen are OF gold.

traceable TO the effects Of the bIizza I'd

great ceremony its proper dignity. The
victim is J. W. Calvert, of Peewee Val

ROCKY FORD NEWS.
HoHoUay-Hu

Mr. John Holloway of Rocky
Ford and Miss Rachel Hughes of
Colorado Springs were united in
holy matrimony Monday evening,
July 26th, at $3.50 p. M, at the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Winslow. Rev. l.. w. Harris of
Canon City, Colo, performed the
ceremony. After the ceremony the
surprised guests were further en-
tertained by the serving of an elab-
crate supper. Those who We're pres
ent owe much to Mr.. and Mrs.
Winslow, for they left not one
stone unturned to make the affair
a grand one.
Music and song cheered us so
that it was hard to believe that we
were awake. However, we all wish
the happy couple a successful sail
ing on the sea of life together.
Mr.. John Holloway is one of the
most energetic young men not only
of Rocky Ford but Of the Arkansas
valley. He came to Rocky Ford
three years ago, went to work,
and saved his money. The result
is that today he ranks among the
large and successful beet growers
of said valley.
This is his second year in the
beet-raising business and he is now
operating more than 100 acres in
