DR.. WARNER RETURNS
Colorado Methodist Conference Takes
Few Changes in Assignments

The semi-centennial anniversary con-
ference Of Colorado Methodists closed
very successful conference in Boulder on
Monday morning by the announcement by
Bishop Francis J.. Mcconnell of the as
signment of ministers in the several dis
tricts for the coming year. But few
changes were made in this portion Of the
Pueblo district. and The Enterprise is
pleased to report to the Rocky Ford con-
gregation and friends that our esteemed
pastor, Or. s. B. Warner. has been re-
turned in-response to the earnest request
of his charge.
Other neighboring assignments are:
First Church, Pueblo, o. L. Orion; Fow-
Ter, C. E. Miller; Manzanola. r. E. Bird;
ordway. o. E. Barker; Sugar City, C. j.
Road; La Junta. Howard Goidie; Cheraw
and Swink. to be supplied.
After spirited contest La Junta was
chosen as the meeting place of the next
state conference.
A campaign was launched at this con-
ference to raise the endowment fund Of
the Denver university from S25o,0o0 to
SZ5O,0OO, when the report of the Semi
Centennial Methodist conference, recon-
mending immediate action in conducting
statewide campaign to secure endow-
ment pledges Of 100000 from the
$4,000 Methodists as condition OF re-
ceiving 100000 from the general edu-
cation board founded and backed by
John D. Rockefeller was read.
The Rockefeller endowment offer will
stand open until Oct. 81, 1914. and the
Colorado conference cast a unanimous
vote for the statewide campaign. which
will begin at once.

the whole people. which is steadily maxi
ing its work more thorough apd COM
plete, and which is confessedly one of the
strongest moulding forces at work upon
the character of the nation.
There is a multitude of Christian
teachers. superintendents and school off,
GERS. unselishly desiring to do their best
for the moral welfare Of their pupils and
5urdened often with sense of their re-
sponsibilitles. who will be greatly helped
and encouraged by this sympathetic re-
membrance on the part Of the Christian
church. These prayers. moreover, will
ennoble in the minds Of many less
thoughtful teachers the work to which
they have been called. will inspire them
with new and higher motives and set a
worthier aim before them through all
the ardrous labors of the following year.
The same impressions will be made. in
measure, on the millions Of pupils from
Christian homes who at the beginning Of
each school year will hear their pastors
entreating God for them, for their teach
ers, and for their fellow-pupils through
out the whole nation. that the true ends
of education may be accomplished
through the studies and the discipline of
their schools.
Tie general observance Of the sug-
gested Day Of Prayer will afford to pas
tors, in SO far as they may wish to en-
brace it. a natural opportunity to ineul-
cate vital truths concerning the whole
work Of education. and its relation to the
moral and spiritual welfare OF the child
and to our national Christianity.

HOu LEGISLATION
OF Great Importance to the Raisers
OF the Arkansas Valley

July 5th the law regulating the hand
ling and transportation OF hogs in Colo
RADIO went into effect, This law is in the
interest Of hog cholera control. The Sec
retary of Agriculture reports that sixty
six millions Of dollars is comparative
estimate for the loss from this disease
alone, IN the last twelve months. Unless
this new law is enforced to the letter we
may expect that the loss from hog cholera
next winter will be very heavy.
After July 18th you can not legally ship
hogs into Colorado. nor move them with
in the state, without making affidavit
(which must accompany the shipment)
that they have not been exposed to the
infection Of hog cholera and upon reaching
their destination tunless Tor immediate
slaughter) they must be kept away from
other hogs for period of eighteen days.
The hog raisers of the state, and es-
pecially those in the Arkansas valley. are
warned that if they do not wake up on
this hog cholera proposition and system
atieally prepare to combat it. hog raising
will be precarious business during the
winter months.
After loss OF several hundred thous-
and dollars worth of hogs. the San Luis
valley got busy and controlled the disease.
o ther infected localities can do the same
thing. The new law will help. but it must
be enforced, and there must be active CO.
operation. See how the San Luis valley
did it.

WIN FINAL GAME
Locals Defeat La Junta In Ten
Inning Contest

Rocky Ford played the last game Of
this seasons schedule at La Junta last
Sunday and returned home victorious
after an interesting game by score Of
S to 8.
Ten innings were required to decide the
issue and the locals won out by bun ching
couple of two sackers with an error in
their final turn at bat. jackson and Starr
were at their best and engaged in a
hurer's duel with honors about even.
The features of the game were the
hitting of Bond, Swink and Hoover, and
the fielding Of Gobin and Maxwell.
This was the fifth time that La Junta
and Rocky Ford clashed and the locals
were on the long end in four games.
The season just closed was one of the
most successful in the history of amateur
base ball in this city and the boys deserve
the thanks Of the fans for the clean whole
some sport they have furnished.
Steps are already being taken to put
another strong team in the field next sea-
son and there is talk Of an Arkansa S

some CASES
OF ANTHRAX
Causing Considerable Alarm
to Stock Owners
PROMPT ACTION TAKEN
TO CHECK DISEASE
County and City Authorities Work.
ing In Concert with State Veterin-
ary and It's Spread Prevented

Considerable alarm was occas-
ioned to the owners of stock in this
vicinity by the outbreak of anthrax
the fore part of the week, but
prompt measures were at once
taken by the city and county
authorities and it is now believed
that the further spread of the dis
ease has been checked and that it
rapidly will be stamped out.
Early in the week several horses
We're reported to have died from
the disease, and while in most
cases the carcasses were immedi-
ately burned one case was found
near the j. l.. Potter ranch where
an animal that had died of anthrax
had evidently been left by someone
and it was feared that large
number of animals had been ex-
posed before the carcass was burn
ed, but no new cases have yet been
traced to this source.
There are several cases of affect
ed animals in and about the city
but they are being carefully
watched and drastic action-under
the advice OF State Veterinary
Yare, who was in town yesterday
consulting with the county COM
mlssioners-will be taken to pre-
vent any further spread.
Many of the stockowners are
having their stock vaccinated in
the hope that this may keep them
immune from the dread disease,
but they-as well as all others
are requested to keep a careful
watch and promptly consult a vet
erinary upon the appearance of
any suspicious case.
And everyone is warned to inn
mediately burn the carcasses of
anthrax victims, for burial will
not prevail against this disease, as
it has been known to remain in
the soil and become virulent after
a period of ten years.

made the entire length of Main

Nor should the several superin-

to congratulations for their cour-

visitors, and for the plans and
suggestions that made of every
display a picture of the prodigali-

INSPECTOR UPHOLDS
DA|RYMEN IN CITY
Flock Says That None Have
Taken Tickets From Quar-
antined Houses.

Dairy Inspector Flock stated today
that the charges made by the commit
tee from the West Side Improvement
association that the dairymen have
been taking tickets from places quar-
antined for scarlet fever are untrue
and unjust He characterizes the state
ments of the West Side people who
have been charging that the quaran.
tine laws have been neglected as be
ing the result of their imaginations:
Inspector Flock stated that he has
questioned closely all the dairymen
who deliver milk on the west side
about taking tickets from quarantined
houses All of them denied the charge
emphatically. He said that he believes
that they are telling the truth in the
matter as he does not think that any
dairyman would subject himself to the
contagion, knowing that his license
would be revoked if a case of scarlet
fever were to be contracted in his
family.
Mr. Flock said that all the diaries
in the city are in excellent condition
No trouble is being experienced with
any of the dairymen, with the excep
ton of few who have neglected to
renew their licenses. He stated that
will be notified and asked to do so inn
mediately, as it is against the law tC
operate dairy without license.

TWO TOWNS REMAIN
IN wet" COLUMN
Mitchell and Decatur Have
Bitter Fights-Bryant
Votes DRY"

DECATUR, Ind, March 6.-Decatur
stayed in the wet column yesterday
although the majority was cut down
from 1S2 of two years ago to 80.
The contest has been bitterly fought
by both sides. Both sides had perfect
organizations and plenty of funds to
carry on the campaign. The ''drys'
conducted public meetings and speak
ers were brought in.
Until the last few days it was con-
coded to the "drys,'' but the vets
kept up their campaign to the last
minute and denied that the contest
was lost.
At the polls there were lively times.
In every precinct challenges were nu-
merous on both sides and in three
cases arrests We're made for voting
without being qualified as to resi-
dences The three cases will be heard
in the court.
Washington township, where the
city of Decatur is located, tipped from
the "wet" column to the dry by a
majority of 3 votes. The north pre-
cinct gave the "wets" 101 and the
"drys" So In the south precinct 40
votes for "wets" were cast and ga for
the "drys." One saloon will have to
suspend business as the result of the
township vote.

LITTLE EFFECT ON
RICHMOND BY Law
County and City Treasures
Talk on Act Passed by
the Assembly.

The law passed yesterday by the
state legislature legalizing the trans
fer of money from the general fund to
very little affect on this city according
to County Treasurer Chamness and
City Comptroller McMahan.
The bill legalizes certain acts of the
city treasurers in paying public i'm
proVement bonds and interest coupons
providing for a method of reimburs-
ing improvement funds by tax levy or
appropriations where deficits have
arisen in such funds on account of pre-
payment of installments.
The bill provides the right for cities
the size of Richmond to levy a tax of
one cent on every taxable 500 until a
time when the said fund shall meet
the deficits of the city improvements.
There is approximately $4,000
600 worth of taxable prop
erty in Richmond. From this
800 would amount to 81 800 per year.
The city at present is in debt to the
extent of 1000 on improvements On
the amount 1850 interest is paid each
year. The gain by the new law to
Richmond is $40 each year The law
is only to be in effect for ten years
and if the plan will free any city from
debt before that time it has to be abol-
ished.
The regular city bonds now out
amount to $5O,50O besides the improve
ment and city light plant bonds. This
debt is not considered large by the
city officials and the treasury of Rich
mond compares favorably with other
cities of the size of Richmond about
the state.
Another bill which has been passed
and received by the officials is the one
which states that after an improve.
ment has been approved and recorded
by the board of works after thirty
days has transpired no objection can
be made as to any irregularity with re.
gard to the assessment against proper
ty.

Hindu Moon Lore.

According to the Hindus a lunar
eclipse is the contact between the
moon and another planet called Rahoo,
but the masses believe that. owing to
the will Of God. Rahoo, or the serpent
like planet, catches hold of the moon
by it's hideous mouth and releases it
after a short time. At first contact the
Hindus battle in the sea and anxious
~ await the release. After the con-
tact they take another bath. During
Che interval they are not allowed even
60 drink a cup of water, as their be-
lief is that all things in the world get
polluted during the contact.
