stock will miss her after her long summer stay among them, she having returned to the city with her family on Thursday of last week. But she promises to make another visit at Thanksgiving time, so they are not left disconsolate. s.
 It now looks as though the chapel is to be painted. The scraping is about finished, and the money to de- fray the expenses nearly all pledged, thanks to the untiring efforts of the pastor. & @
 It is a long time since the Sunday school picnic, but it must be men tioned, as the children had such splendid time and everything was such a decided success that those who had the matter in charge de- serve publicity. .-s
 Masonic Hall was crowded to greet the Goshen players when they pre- sented "A Regular Flirt" there re- gently. Every part was splendidly taken, and praise was heard on every Slde. The actln8 was so well Qone that the local players feel somewhat dubious about taking their play to Goshen.
 This time it is the Young Mems club which gives the opening dance of the season at Masonic Hall, next Wednesday evening. But then it was the young men who started out to make a success of the social fes- tivities of last winter, but it was the young ladies who persevered and made a success of the series of dances. This year, however, it is doubtful if the Young Ladies club will have an existence, so if there is to be any social activity at all dur ing the winter, it will be well to sup port the young men at this initial dance. +#
 Many from this village are looking forward to the dance at Cornwall on Friday evening next, as the music is to be by Turner's orchestra of three pieces.

Stuck In the Mud.

City Clerk Preble came very near be-
ing an absentee at the council meeting
Monday night. and the blame therefor
he lays upon viii Loekhart, who in turn
says Senator Swink is the guilty party
and as the latter hasn't come in with his
version his broad Shoulders will have to
bear the strain Of the following story:
In the early afternoon Preble and Lock-
hart set out in the latter's auto for spin
through the Star Valley country. In the
course Of their run they came upon the
Senator who prevailed upon them to ex-
tend their trip to the Swink headgate
away up on tho Apishapa. Everything
was going merrily and VIII was showing
off the good points Of his machine SO
closely that he failed to notice an over
flow that flooded the road until he was
almost into it, when he threw in the
clutch. but the momentum carried the
car into the thick Of the mud before it
stopped-and then they were in pretty
pickle. After Intellectual attempts to
start the car from its bed Of mud "Old
Man" Swink bethought him Of a plank he
could get about two miles away and
while he went after it the other two di-
vested themselves Of shoes. trousers. ETC..
and waded around in the sticky mess
but they couldn't bulge the car until the
senator got his plank beneath the wheels
and she glided out Of the slough as slick
as yon please.
1t was 6:l5 when they left the head
gate and under Preble's urging the re-
turn trip was made in pretty fast time.
as any ono who has been over the road
will say when they hear that the party
reached home at 7:5o o'clock. The last
l2H miles from the reservoir we're made
in just 20 minutes. which was quick
enough going to suit even the anxious
city clerk.

THIRD FIRE IN WEEK
Residence of p. A. File Burns Burned
Thursday Night.

The predictions Of numerous wiseaeres.
when the Lawton fire occurred . week
ago Friday morning. that Rocky Ford
would be visited by three fires within the
week. have been fulfilled. the third fire
occurring at 1880 o'clock Thursday
night. when the residence Of P. A. File at
6o4 North Thirtssnth street was com
plstsly guttsd.
Like the two previous fires this one
was also Of mysterious origin. Mr.. File
and family had left home about 8 O'Clock
to spend = social evening with . nsighbor
on North Fourteenth. and they are posi-.
tive that there was no fire in the house
when they left. When the alarm sound
Cd and they learned that ths. fire was in
their home they were at loss to know
how it started and . thorough invsstiga-
ton failed to reveal the cause.
When the flames were first discovered
and the alarm sounded, nsighbors and
friends rushed to the scene and managed
to save portion Of the household effects
before they were driven forth by the
fierce heat. The fire department wa.
promptly on hand after the alarm wa,
turned in and speedily had the flame.
under control. but owing to the fact thai
the FIRE had gained great headway befor,
discovery the building was pretty badly
wrecked.
The house was insured for $500 ans
the loss was adjusted for Sze5. Mr.
File had no insurance on the furnitur,
and household goods and he estimate
the amount Of damage upon these vii
amount to S225.

building in course Of construction Is
noted. After all copy has been delivered
to the printer. all Of these vacancies are
visited and where they are found oeeu-

the one who buys without referring to

The use Of this classified list is like going
to the market place. for the reason that
It brings to view each and every individ-
ual in any and all lines of trade. and
here the buyer may select the best Of

One of the largest seizures of

ure consisting of 80 quart bottles of
mescal, "a quart bottles of cOngnac,
80 quart bottles of tequila and II
quart bottles of Yarmouth. A dun

the same time. The authorities have
thus far been unable to obtain suf-

glers.

the certificate of such purchase to
cover smuggled stuff which they
