One Ehrenbergite attempted to
escape, but shot fired close to his
head caused him to return.
After the two cowboys had salts
fled themselves with this kind OF
fun they then told the men and wo-

forced at the muzzle Of a six-shooter
to march up to the old cemetery, east

Not thing was taken from any

fun and the two cowboys got away
with it. No attempt to arrest the
two men has been made.

BATHING.

Bathing is a disease which is max

very exasperating ailment and is liza
Bile to strike in when a man hasn't t
clean shirt to his name. Not be-
ing a contagious disease, however,
it doesn't spread very rapidly unless
a man has stern wife with a large
and sarcastic vocabulary.
Bathing has kept many a man down
town until the fire has gone out in
tests itself in various forms, the
Turkish bath, the mud bath, the
wash basin bath and the immuni-
ty bath.
The mission of the Turkish bath
is to enable stout men to get into
their clothes without the aid of a
shoe horn No lean man ever infests
Turkish bath unless he is in search
of a painless death. The mud bath
is IeSOTUeu 10 ny people afflicted Win
large means and ingrowing rheuma-
tism. It's chief advantage is that it
draws the rheumatism to the surface,
where the patient can see it, and
makes a post mOrtem unnecessary.
The wash-basin bath is not quite so
thorough as the Turkish bath, but
it is shorter and costs less. Also
there is no danger of a relapse
The immunity bath has been tried
out with a good deal of success by
our leading financiers and pillars of
society, the principal ingredients be-
ing whitewash, a pure life and legal
verbiage
Some people have passion for bath
ing and indulge in it once or twice
every month, while others, by exer
else of great will power and self-re
straint, become almost immune Wo-
men who insist upon their husbands

calendar year should have a care

EXCURSION RATES

Bottom & Maine Road Will Charge full
Fare OF Two Cents a Mile
Statement by o. F. Benson.

railroad that no excursion rates will be
granted this year on account of the agri-
cultural fairs Is causing some measiness
on the part of the officials of the fairs On
account Of the financial situation the rail
road announces that a fiat rate Of two
cents viii be charged, instead of a cent
and a half as heretofore
President Oscar + Benson of the Val
ley FAIR association, when interviewed by
The Reformer today, stated that the fair
officials here had taken the matter up
with the railroad officials and were told
that no concession could be made this
year and that the full rate OF two cents a
mile would have to be charged
we regret the situation. President
Benson said but we are in the same
boat with the rest OF the fairs and will
make the best of it. Personally ] don t
believe it viii seriously interfere with om
attendance. 1t may keep some at home
but most of the people who usually come

| pay the extra half cent a mile

nothing to indicate that they viii not dc
the same this year.
| Some Of the fairs in this state and New
| Hampshire. which depend more largely

come by rail. have become so alarmed tina
they have cancelled some of their spccia
attractions.
| The Vermont state fair, which has heer
! held in White River Junction. Is likely t,
be badly affected by the change. and IL
commenting upon it Fred l.. Davis, man
ager of the fair, says that hundreds o
people who had heretofore taken advan
tage of the low rate TO attend woul,
doubtless stay at home. thus affecting no
only the fair but the railroad as well
