THE BEE INDUSTRY HERE ONE :.
OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The bee industry in the Canon Cit.
district is one of considerable import
ance, more so, in fact, than the major
ity of people here are aware of. 1t has
grown rapidly during the last few
years and the field is now pretty we'll
equipped, for the honey making indus
try, like everything else, can be over
done. There are, perhaps. five or six
hundred colonies of bees in this ter
ritory, which is about all that can be
successfully taken care of without re-
sorting to the cultivation of honey-pro-
ducting plants for their use.
The late rain was beneficial in slim
ulating the work of the bees in this
locality and assures a successful sea-
son for apairists. The honey flow set
in nearly a week ago, and, as is inva-
riably the case, presaged an early
rainfall. While but comparatively lit
tie honey has been made up to this
time it should be stored up by Wig
orous colonies from this on at the rate
of about five pounds a day. There is
an abundance of sweet clover, white
clover, red clover, alfalfa and wild
flowers this year and the honey crop

JUNIORS DEFEAT
The FLORENCE BOYS
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
The Juniors OF the Canon City Sun
day School Athletic League went to
Florence yesterday afternoon and de-
feated the Florence boys, in one of
the snappiest games or the season. ten
innings being required to settle the
contest. The game was very pretty
one from start TO finish. very few err
rors being made on either side. The
score stood 3 to from the sixth to
the tenth inning, when Florence came
to bat and succeeded in forcing one
run across the plate which made it
look pretty blue for the Canon City
boys. Our kids however proved equal
to the occasion, as Atkinson the first
man up, made a clean two-base hit.
This seemed to queer the Florence
pitcher, as after that every man at bat
hit him. Purnell was second up, max
ing a hit which advanced Atkinson to
third. Hodgin was given base on
four wide ones, filling the bases. Hen
ry hit to the infield, Florence making
a very pretty play, cutting Atkinson
off at home plate. Thomas came to
bat and made hit, bringing in two
runs and winning the game with only
one man out.
The features of the game was the
gilt edge pitching Of both Henry and
Shank. which was about equal up to
the tenth inning, and the all round
playing OF d. John OF Florence. who
made three runs and no outs at five
times at bat. The umpiring Of Earny
Bryant was faultless. Score by in
nings as follows:

BIG PROFITS IN BEANS
IN ARKANSAS VALLEY
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Rock Ford Enterprise: 80 much
has been said about George B. Samp-
les, the expert cantaloupe grower.
that but few people realize that he
grows anything else. and just to
show that Mr.. Samples can and does
grow other crops the Enterprise here
with gives some data about his bean
crop this year:
From IN acres planted In beans he
has shipped a total of six tons, re-
ceiving therefore s592.46, or about
five cents a pound.
An average OF $500 an acre is a
pretty good return from even the
wonderfully productive Arkansas val
ley land, but this is not the entire pro-
ceeds from Mr.. Samples ground, as
he has planted and already has grow
ing a nice patch of table beets upon
the same piece. from which he will
derive a good profit in the fall, should
nothing occur to prevent.
Five years ago Mr.. Samples paid
$500 an acre for his farm, but twice
that figure would not buy 1t now"

NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE
FROM DRINKING
CARBOuC ACID
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
A little two year old son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Roberts OF Poplar avsn-
ue. Loncoln Park. narrowly escaped
death as a result OF drinking carbolic
acid about 1880 o'clock this morn
ing. The little fellow was playing
about the yard when he discovered the
bottle and drank its contents Mrs
Roberts noticing that something was
wrong drove hurridly TO town with
the unfortunate child 10 obtain pro-
fessional help in neutraiizing the ef-
fects OF the poison. A physician was
summoned on her arrival heer and an
antidote administered with gratifying
results. The little fellow 10 now at
the hospital and is reported to be out
OF danger. His condition was critical
for n short time aud II seemed very
doubtful whether recovery was possi-
BILE or not under the circumstances.
How the bottle OF carbolic acid got
into the yard is n mystery that none {
the family is able to explain.

in this district ought to be fully up
to the average. William Babberger
who is one of the most enthusiastic
and successful apiarists in this coun-
ty, made the somewhat astonishing
statement this morning that colo
ny of healthy bees rightly taken care
of would easily produce ten dollars
worth of surplus commercial honey
annually. This result, however can
only be obtained in a neighborhood
that is not overstocked with bees so
as not to restrict their industry and
operations. From 25 colonies of bees
Mr. Babberger last year sold a little
more than $500 worth of honey. In
1908 his income from the same num-
ber of colonies was 1870 and the year
before $3.50. He computes that his
revenue from 45 colonies this season
will be $500. One colony of bees, Mr..
Babberger estimates, will yield as
much revenue as two apple trees, and
at a very much smaller financial in
vestment. Under skillful management
the bee industry is highly profitable
and is at the same time very pleas
ing and interesting employment.

ELKS CHARITY FUND
CARNIVAL CLOSED
SATURDAY EVENING
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
In spite of the rain, which inter-
fered with the attendance on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday nights, the
Elks' Charity Fund carnival was f.
nancial as well as a social success.
With favorable weather throughout
the week the proceeds would. of
course. have been much larger as the
entertainment offered to visitors was
such as to command itself to the peo-
Pile of the community. The carnival
was well staged and well managed, q
fact complimentary to both the Elks
and to the Parker Amusement compa-
ny, which had charge of affairs at the
grounds.
The storm OF Friday night necessi-
tated a postponement of the crowning
of the carnival queen and its attend
ant festivities until the following ev-
ening. greatly to the general disap-
pointment- Shortly after o'clock
Saturday night In the presence OF a
large gathering OF visitors to the
grounds Miss Maudy May Kiie OF
Rockvale, who had been elected
queen, was given a handsome and
valuable diamond ring by the Elks'
lodge. the presentation speech being
made by DR.. J. Homer Dickson. The
affair took place in the vaudeville tent
Cañon City record., 1910-08-04

and was followed by the coronation
ceremonies. which were OF extreme in
terest. The queens attendants were
Misses Champion and Oleson. OF Rock
vale, who officiated as maids OF hon.
of. Her majesty and the ladies OF her
court were very gracious and were
highly complimented on the manner In
which they enacted the role of royal
ty. 'The queen and her attendants
were the guests OF the Elks' lodgs
at the Strathmore hotel for q couple
Of days and were conveyed to and
from the grounds in a decorated au-
tomobile as befitted their exalted sta
ton.
The Elks left nothing undone that
would in anyway contribute 70 the
pleasure of the carnival patrons. and
much OF the enjoyment OF the occa-
sion was due to their efforts to please
the public Had the weather been
more favorable the carnival would
have been one OF the most successful
events of the kind In the history OF
the upper Arkansas valley. That the
charity fund of the Elks' lodge was
augmented by the weeks festivities IL
a matter for feiicitation among its
members.

OBITUARY. MARIA J. TOPPING
vrom fridays Daily.

iAHa. Dohy-
In the death of Mrs. Maria Jane
Topping at Spokane. Washington, on
July 3, 1910, Colorado looses another
of its pioneers. The immediate cause
of her death was dropsy and heart
failure. She was taken sick on Novem-
ber is, 1909, and from that time until
her death. she was confirmed inva-
lid.
Mrs. Topping was born in Caniste.
Steuben county, New York. on the IS
OF May, 1S49. Her early life was
spent in that state, but later with her
parents moved to Michigan. She was
married in 1871 to c. S. Topping and
they went to Colorado Immediately af-
ward, living first at Alma, Park coun-
ty. and later at Canon City, where her
husband was in business for a number
band, moved to Spokane, Washington,
where they have lived ever since.
During all her life she was a chris
tian in the true sense of the word.
church and was a worker for it and
its beliefs. During the years that
she lived in Canon she was active in
charitable matters and many was the
one in need and distress, who received
kindness and charity at her hands.
Mrs. Topping was at one time presi-
dent of the Kings Daughters and 1t
seemed to be part of her nature to do
good, for even in the early times in
Canon she ministered to the sick and
cheered the lonely and inspired those
who were dispirited, thus leading all
to a higher and better life.
In the early days when Alma was
only a crude mining camp, she had
many thrilling experiences, but even
among the good and bad element that
people that place in its boom days she
was always working for christianity
and doing good to all.
During the last days of her life, she
was surrounded by those she loved
who ministered TO her sufferings, as
best they could, but owing TO the ma
ture OF the disease, nothing could be
done to save her life.
She stated time and time again dur
ing her illness, that she wished that
she could be called and said that she
was not afraid to die. She talked
freely to those around her about her
death and believed that 1t was steI
into the beyond for her betterment
The funeral held at the Smith I'M
dertaking parlors, was largely attend

there and at the grave. The choir

DEAN M'NARY
CRITICISED
ATTORNEYS
The Session Of the Moot Court
Last Evening Was an In
tereSting 0he.

The case of the state of Oregon
VS.. William Howard, charged with the
crime of riot, was tried In the moot
court last evening. The jury brought
in verdict of guilty as charged in
the indictment. The testimony Of the
state was direct and to the point.
Prof. Otool, Rev Selleck (alias Roy
Shields) and Deacon Jones testified
in effect that on the evening of Janu-
AIRY 30, 1910, William Howard ac-
costed Prof Otool, just at the close of
church services, used violent Ian
guage. accused the professor of un-
due familiarity with his daughter,
Lizzie, and called out: Come on, ye
recreants," whereupon two other per-
sons rushed in, brandishing clubs
Rev. Selleck and others closed in on
the defendant and oyerpowered him,
but in the melee Mr.. Selleck was bad
ly beaten up The three rioters were
turned over to the police. The de-
fendant testified in his own behalf,
which was, for some reason, the only
testimony offered by the defense, al
though they were entitled to two
more witnesses. The defendant told
a good story and made the most of
his case He alleged the misconduct
of Prof. Otool, and denied having
any connection with the parties who
used the clubs.
AT the close Dean McNary criti-
cised the attorneys, complimenting
them upon the expeditions manner in
which they presented their case and
the absence of unnecessary wrang-
ling, and pointed out their weakness
in examining men as to their qualifi-
cations for jurors. He gave some |
timely advice on cross-axamining |
witnesses. Mcknight, for the state,
made the opening statement to the
jury, and Lloyd opened the case for
the defense. In the absence of Mr. !
Cupper, Mr.. Lloyd also presented the |
opening arguments for the defense,
followed by Mr.. Allan. Weir and
Smith made the arguments for the
state. Mr.. Allan spoke in his usual
fiowery manner, and put up a good
argument, Mr., Smith. In reviewing
the testimony, argue dclearly and log
ically and In way that would have
been a credit to one older in the
profession. The next debate is a
breach of promise case, and will be
tried two weeks hence.
