Missouri Pacific Railway Com

in the service of each of them
for n number of years.
All cities have their touGhs,
deadbeats. thieves, and murder

his services were considered val-
liable by those companies we're
the breeding dens and hot beds
OF those characters, such places
as none but those of cxtraordin-
ary ability could hope to- secure
such positions CT trust under
such large and important busi-
naSS concerns.
The editor once lived in Kan
sas City, knows every foot Of the
ground in the neighborhood of
the Metropolitan and Mo. p.
yards, and the necessary fiber
of one having to do with the
characters of those localities,
and such knowledge OF the man
that would have to be in the
possession of those companies
before they would stop for a mo-
ment to consider him in connec-
tion with such employment.
Mr.. French consequently
comes to the democrats of the
county with recommend that at
once places him at the head of
the column so far as concerns
trnstworthiness and executive
and detective ability, which are
the three prime requisites in the
filling of the position to which he
aspires.
or the other qualifications req
uisite in tie filling of the said
position, he comes to us with the
highest recommendations of his
home precinct and school dis
trict, in the latter of which he
has for years been a member of
the school board, and made good
by carefully safeguarding both
the districts financial interests
and the interests of the district S
schools.
Mr., French is presumably OF
French extraction by descent
but too far removed to have any
very consuming desire to go ov
er to help the French lick the
Dutch, especially while the
, chances seem TO be good for Il

There are now four candidates
for the democratic nominal on 10
the Office OF county sheriff,
so that democrats are not want
ing in material to chose from for
| that place; and when they know
the merits of the man they vote
for we believe they can be
thoroughly trusted in doing the
rest; and we thus leave the mat
ter with them,
From time to time the Herald
will pay its respects to other
worthy candidates for Office,
both before the primary and af'
ter the nominations have been
made.
Get on board now if you want
to keepin touch with the times,

Auto, Motorcycle, and Bicycle
One to Five Mile Dashes.
Thrown in for good Measure
Will Be Fat Mems Races,
Aipls' and Boys Races,
Sack and Potato
Raoes,
And Various Other Kinds OF
9io Racing Sports.
The race course has been laid
out and will be in first lass
condition for the racing at the
BIG fair.
The county has arisen to the
occasion as ane man to make the
first real fair in the county the
grandest ever seen in eastern
Colorado, up to the big fair cit
les of Pueblo and Denver.
The racing feature of the fair
is being lavishly provided for.
Some handsome purses, as will
be announced later in the pro-
gram, will be provided by the
sommittes. which viii Warrant
the entrance of racing stock that
will give to this feature of the
fair a high class entertainment:
tits teo early as yet of course
Ia tell Just what races will be
put on the boards, but many in
the county and many outside Of
the county are preparing theil
stock and trimming their sailsfol
the tempting purses that some
body is going to get for the first
and second best.
A number with fast horses
have expressed their intention
of entering for those races, and
will give some time before the
fair in trying out their horses
for the best speed there is in
"TAepe will be a number of plug
races for smaller purses that will
be interesting. and buckine
broncho races that will be both
humorous and exciting
Whether there will be any
harness races or not cannot be
told at this time; but relay races
Of the most skilled riders will be
q big feature of the tracks.
There will probably be dozen
competitors in these races, anc
it is probable they will be a daily
feature of tie fair.
The auto ra cling is simply sug
gestive It might not be pract;;;
cable on a common race course,
but ~ the track is eval in shape
the auto race might be put on il
good shape and without danger.
Arrangements should be made
to have from half a dozen to {
dozen motorcycles in the motor
cycle races, as a daily diversion
and a fairly good purse for the
best; and ditto with the bicycles
The fat mems races of course
will have to be arranged at tn
time Of the fair, and largely Sc
of the other diverse kinds Of foo
faces, thAHgh' all if possible
should be arranged a day ahead
As many as Atty boys ough

The sack race is also interest
ing. The sacks for fifty boy
sheuld be on hands and read.
for instant use, and once eacl
day the sport should be staged.
The potato race-bless ou
lives we've often heard Of tn
"potsto race" land that's all w
know about it; but of cours
whatever it is it is good.
A wheelbarrow race is alway
exciting. A dozen or NOR
should be provided, the boys t
deliver 100 pounds,-quarter of
mile.
Relay races of the youths an
men are always exciting. but ot
