From all accounts. Henry c. Stuart
is preparing a speech for the opening
OF his campaign which will scorch the
atmosphere" said Ninth District cit
tzen last night. 80 far he has kept
quiet under the FIRE which has been di-
rected at him from various very small
guns, and no one believes that his
speech will be anything else but dig
nifed, but it is likely to contain some
matter which will stir things in his
district.
MIR. Stuart may be long-surerina
and knows too much to be not!cina
every small attack made upon him.
Besides he is willing to meet on high
ground such of the respectable ele
ment in the Republican party as Mr.
Slemp may marshal against him. But
certain things have been said about
him and his which have stirred hin,
considerably, and it is generally be-
lieved out there that he is preparing
something warm.
ut is believed that one of the larg-
est crowds which has attended poll
teal meeting in recent years In that
section will assemble at Gate City on
August 20 to hear Mr.. Stuart formally
open his campaign. Every effort is
being put forth to make this notable
rally"

taken identity occurred in this column

eral regret. There has been for some

Catholics to Organize

Rev. Father @. v. Walsh, Of Dem
yer, is in the city this week, arriving
Tuesday, and is now busily engaged
In the task of organizing the Catho-
lies Of Meeker and vicinity into q
congregation, and for success In this
endeavor is talking with some Of our
people, expressing his desires and
calling attention to the benefits to be
derived by SO organizing.
Father Walsh will celebrate mass
next Sunday morning, September IL,
at the court house, at 10 o'clock, and
urges upon members Of the faith
that they be present.
Immediately after the services d
meeting will be held for the purpose
Of devising ways and means for the
erection Of church, and the main
tenance of . resident priest
For several years, now, the ques-
tion OF erecting church has been
brought up, and, as we understand 1t,
fair sum of money has been raised
in that time toward such q building,
lots, for the site Of which, having al
ready been purchased.
The prospect of Father Walsh's
quest resulting in the erection of the
church seems bright, and we extend
our good wishes for success.

New County High School
Building To Be a Beauty
Plans and Specifications Show That 1t Shall be Well Con-
structed, and Pleasing to the Eye. Some Objection
Being Raised to Site Selected for School,

The plans and specifications for
the now high school building, on
view at the clerk and recorders Of
foe, would indicate . very hand
some structure, and brief outline
Of what the plans call for will not be
out Of place.
The extreme length Of the building
is So feet, while the width is 78 feet,
and the structure will be erected in
the form Of T. The front is 24x78
and the rear 42x58. There is an ex-
cavated basement for the front part
Of the building, and . portion Of the
rear, which will contain a boiler
room, janitor's room, coal room,
toilets and lockers.
The main floor contains an assem-
bly, room 4Ox5O in extent, and two
class rooms, each 2lx28 feet. Be-
tween the class rooms is the main
hall, 12x98 feet, the street entrance
being six feet lower than the level Of
the main floor, and . few steps lead
. to the hall. The hall leads directly
to the assembly room, while the class
rooms open to either side OF the hall.
Between the class rooms and the
assembly room are two cloak halls
5x3l feet. The class rooms have each
eight large widows, while the assem-
bly, room has ten. The class rooms
have 12-foot ceilings, and the assem-
bly, room . IA foot ceiling. From the
grade line to cones Of the roof the
height Is q feet, while the chimneys
aud ventilators project above that
several more feet.
The footings are to be built Of con-
crets, and the foundations Of ruble

tractor, and, as this bid was consider
ably higher than the amount Of bonds
issued, the high school COMMITTEES,
assembled Thursday afternoon, de-
ferred any further action In the mat
ter until today, inasmuch - they
had knowledge of bids to come from
outside contractors, and on Thurs-
day evening, Ave or six Of such bids
were received, two Of which covered
the erection of the building in its en-
tirety, and the rest bidding on separ-
ate portions of the work.
A representative, In speaking with
r. Oldland yesterday, CLEANED the
information that several Of the later
bids, while the figures contained In
them were more than the bonds Is
sued amount to, were, nevertheless,
near enough within bounds that, with
a small appropriation from the coun-
ty school fund, added to the amount
raised by the bond issue, the school
house can be built.
Mr.. Oldland states that such will
very likely be the action Of the COM
mittee when 1t meets this afternoon.

Mrs. Lena Hartke Dies Suddenly

On Friday morning the sad news
Was passed round that Mrs. Lena
Haetke had died at about 500, Of
uranic poisoning, the climax Of a long
siege of Bright's disease.
Mrs. Hartke began complaining of
slight kidney pains about two years,
ago, but inasmuch rs these pains
seemed but slight, troubling her only
at Indefinite periods, she paid but
little attention to them.
On Thursday of this week, shortly
after dinner, she was seized with an
attack of commissions, which contin-
ued all through the afternoon and
evening, and at intervals through the
night, ending finally in the death Of
the afYiicted yesterday morning.
Mrs. Lena Hartke was born in the
Province Of Lippedetmold, Germany,
April 28th, 1885, and came to Ameri-
ca In 1885. In February Of 1887 she
was united in marriage with Mr.
Rineholdt Hartke, and from this
union there are four children. In
1888 Mr.. and Mrs. Hartke came to
Meeker, and here they have lived
since that time, in peace with all the
world, converting acquaintances into
friends.
The husband and four children,
Rineholdt, Jr., Lena, Martha and
Marguerite are left to mourn her
sudden taking away, and to these sad
ones the entire community extends
sincere sympathy, grieving also with
them.
Funeral services will be held from
the home at 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon, the Rebekahs and the Circle,
Of which deceased was a member,
and the w. O. W., NJ. w. A. and I.
o. O. F., with which Mr.. Hartke is
affiliated, assisting in the ceremony.
A call is hereby issued to members
of the Rebekahs, Circle, Modern
Woodmen, Woodmen of the World
and Odd Fellows, who are requested
to be present 1T their several meeting
places Sunday, at 1890, noon.

old-Timer Deserves Patronage

F. w. Fairfield, of the Rio Blanco
Coal Mine, and which has lately been
known as the Fairfield mine, was one
of the first persons to open mine In
Rio Blanco county; the same spoken
of above. This mine was opened up
in 1885, since which time Mr.. Fair
field has supplied coal for our people,
always at reasonable and consistent
prices, and the greater portion of his
proceeds have gone to 30 improve the
property as to make it thing Of good
value in the category Of developed re-
sources of Rio Blanco. Mr.. Fairfield
desires to thank the people for such
patronage as has been accorded him
in the past, and at the same time asks
for a continuance OF such, soliciting
an even greater amount Of business.
Without a doubt Mr.. Fairfield, as
an old-timer and pusher in the coal
industry Of the county, is entitled to
. representative share of the coal
business Of Meeker, in the service of
supplying which he has grown old.
Coal delivered is priced at 800 per
ton, and $500 at the mine. Leave
orders at jones' jewelry store.
