Rev. Long of the Congrega-
tional church last Thursday spoke
the words which united Ray Bea.
man and Violet Wilcox in the
holy bonds Of matrimony.
The contracting parties drove
over in IA car from Sedgwick, their
home, and was intended AS sur
prise to their friends, but it seems
as if they were on the alert. A
good sized sign happened to ge,
on the car in some way and all
the way to and in 81 S'dgwick they
were receiving congratulations
The sign read: Newly Weds-
Nobody at Home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beaman couldn I
understand why all these con.
gratulations until upon alighting
they discovered the mischevious
sign. That night they were
given another welcome, with
some big boys in the crowd, and
of all tine racket, everybody in
and around Sedgwick knew
something was going on.
They will make their home in
the kenney residence, and all
wish them happiness and pros.
perity on their journey through
life.

All who attended the annual
meeting of the Northeast Colora-

recently. declare they had one of
the best times in the history of
those annual gatherings,
Attorney Roy Johnson of this
city was chosen president at the
business session, to succeed .. l..
Mitten. Mr.. Baker. Of Wrav.
was chosen secretary.
The good time that was had by
all was explained in the program
of addresses by Edlnundson,

reading by Miss Ruth Erb. The
banquet, special films at the show
house, and the grand ball, were
certainly big features of Akron's

With the dates of Frontier Days,
July 26, ~, 20 and 20 but fort
night distant. it appears probable
that the Wyoming national guard,
mobilized for service against
Mexico, will be in Cheyenne during
the big wild west show, and the
citizens committee arranging for
Frontier Days is planning ACCORD
ingly. If they still are here,
Frontier Days will be made the ve-

Wyoming volunteers. They will
be honored in numerous ways and
$4,000 people from Wyoming and
other states will see them pass in

Upon returning to get the change
which he left in the box office he

Holy Gasoline.

Will they never cease finding
new jobs for Hanks Ford?
Latest is asphyxiating gophers;
simply back your Ford up to a
gopher hole, run hose from ex-
haust to hole, crank 'er up and
gas does the rest.
Ii there is any one thing that
is detrimental to the irrigated
farm it is the gopher, and some
times these gophers lose their ap-
petite for perfectly good strych-
nine poison served out to them in
choice mOrsels of meal or grain,
and they seem to go on hunger
strikes. Whether this is limited
to the "sufragette female popu-
lation" or not it is hard to say,
but at any rate ii considerable
number of them refuse absolutely
to eat the poison.
AS Ford cars are plentiful and
"Rockefeller gas" is now readily
obtainable, Il new field of useful
ness is discovered for the combi-
nation. The system is to attach
one end of a rubber hose to the
Ford exhaust pipe and poke the
other end into the gopher hole,
making the joint tight with a
little dirt pressed down with the
foot, thus filling the hole. Run
the Ford for few minutes, and
this latest Ford "peace potion
reduces Mr.. Gopher to a state of
innocuous destitude.
Where the gophers are pretty
thick in the trenches, the man
with the Ford and hose attach
ment is able to put the quietus
upon very large detachments in
the course of half day, although
he does not take the trouble to
dig them all out of the ground,
since their edibility is much i'm
paired by their enforced consump.

NEAR BAD ACCIDENT

Nssesbasss Csi6s Near
Eah Harris

When Mr.. and Mrs. Lou Pet
erson and daughter Evelyn, were
returning to the city last Thurs
day night, they had a very close
call out near the home of Far
Harris.
Mr.. Peterson had taken the
family out for a drive around the
country and upon coming to this
place noticed another ear coming
he turned out of the road and il
seemed as if when Mr.. Neuge-
bauer came upon the scene he
turned the opposite way in which
he should have and fairly hit the
Peterson car broadside.
Mrs. Peterson and daughter
were thrown from the car and
were bruised up quite a bit, in
fact, all were shaken up to a con.
siderable extent, Mrs. Lou being
ordered by the doctor to stay at
home for few days, but was al
her place at the Mercantile store
Saturday.
The cars were damaged to quite
an extent, the Neugebauer car
sustained a bent axle and broken
fender, while the Peterson run
about had to be hauled in by the
use of a dray and will take quite
a bit of repairing if ever put in
running shape again.
Accidents will happen, hut
more care should be exercised in
the driving, then fewer will be
recorded.

GLORIOUS FOURTH

Csan1 Soeeoos i
Evssy Way

Commencing n an early hour
Tuesday morning cars and We
hiclcs of every DESCRIPTION COM
menced to gather into Sedgwick
and there WAS something going
on most of the time.
The trains coming and going
brought III their share and when
Haxtun arrived with her crowd
and band it was grand sight,
they were out in the interest Of
their Chautauqua aud it seems
their base ball team also.
Races and speaking occupied
the time until the big event of
the day was pulled off namely
the ball game in the afternoon,
there was some misunderstand-
ing at the start Ms the four teams
were supposed to draw for their
opponents but in some way this
didn't happen, as in the morning
Chappell and sedgwick took the
field aud after the first inning
was = fairly good contest, Sedg-
wick winning by the score Of l3
to 6.
The afternoon contest or rather
run around the lot spree was GER.
tainly some game the least said
about it the better for both teams
as it kept the score-keepers busy
very near all the time. 1t start.
ed in fairly good style nothing
and nothing but Julesburg start
ed the hit and run act in the
second when before the third
man laid down the willow, four
runs had slipped over the plate.
The nothing sign was out for
Haxtun again in the second but
Julesbusg scored il" Ia e
third. Haxtun started when
they scored for three and again
in the fourth six, fifth four which
gave them eight runs to the good.
W. Law relieved Twomey i'll the
fifth and after getting eight runs
off of Law ill three innings Peter
son was then substituted for Law
in the eighth. Haxtun getting Il
total of nineteen runs.
Parham of Haxtun lasted un-
til the seventh when he relin-
quished the slab to Bob Decker
who allowed Julesburg three runs
in two innings and a total of ten
scores were garnered off Parham's
delivery when he voluntarily
threw the pill up to Decker,
after Julesburg pounded him for
five scores in the seventh.
Ten strikeouts were recorded to
the Julesburg battery while only
five were recorded for Haxtun.
The only things Julesbnrg lacked
of having as many as Haxtun
was six runs, two hits and two
too many errors, as a whole,
Julesburg's hitting and fielding
were very good throughout the
game, an error where runs count
ed and not enough swatting the
pill when it would have helped a
whole lot. But the JulesDurg
team say they have won from
Haxtun and can do it again.
Quite a few new faces showed up
in the Haxtun lineup from what
visited our city some few weeks
ago, in fact only two of the old
faces we're visible in Haxtun
suits.

Also the two principal political parties refer to such citizens in oheir platfoams. The President, among other things, said; Am erica must come first in every purpose we entertain. Every man must count upon being cas- out of our confidence, castlout even of our tolerance, who does not submit to that great ruling principle.

The political situation in AL aska presents rather anomal- ous aspect. There are three par ties in the field; Republican, Dem oeratic and Progressive Demo crat. For delegate, the Repub- lic8ns have no candidate except for the endorsement of MT. Wickersham by the divisional convention at Valdez; the Dem ocrats have named Charles Sul- ger of Sulzer, Alaska as tht ir standard bearer, while the pro- gressive Democrats have also nominated Mr. Wickersham. In territorial affairs each party has named a full ticket of four candidates for assemblymen and one for senator. The Copper River Valley has two candidates Tor the assembly; Jos. H. Mur- ray of Nizina district who is the candidate of both the Republic an and tie Progressive Demo cfats, Af. Tom Holland has been named as the candidate of the regular Democrats. It is prob able that all of the tickets will be cut, as under the present cleo ton law, the Australian ballot, the names of all.candidates ap- pear on one ballot and the aver age Alaskan will undoubtedly use his judgement in selecting the best men on the ticket regard less of party lines. While such system of voting is not looked on with favor by the machine pol itlcian cuts but little ice in Alas ka and that good horse sense is more to be depended upon with the ordinary voter, than the dry and dusty platltudes promulgat- ed by political conventions under the name of party platforms.

That the ordinance kicks hole in

Walter Fisher, special counsel for

ANALYSIS Of CITY
WATER To Be MADE

A communication reaching the
mayors desk yesterday from Super
intendent Sweeney, of the Pensacola
water department, suggested that an
analysis of the pure drinking water
of the city of Pensacola be made by
competent and accredited chemists,
and the suggestion of the superin-
tendent will be adopted.
Superintendent Sweeney informed
the mayor and commissioners that he
was daily in receipt of requests from
manufacturers for an analysis of
local water, and he said that, as the
drinking water here could stand in
spection and record a pureness sec
ond to none, he recommended that 1t
be done right away, so that the analy-
sis could be furnished to inquirers.
In a great many instances, it is
claimed, pure water attracts manu-
factories stronger than any one thing,
and the commissioners take the posi-
tion that, as the water here has
passed, and can pass, the most crit
ical meteorological examination, it
was thought that an analysis would
be one of the city's very strongest
assets, and it was agreeable to each
of the commissioners. that the exam
ination be made at once.
A chemist of note in New Orleans,
who some years ago made an examin-
alton Of the drinking water here, an
nounced that the purest water to be
desired was furnished from Pensa-
acola's pumping station. II anything,
the opinion is held, the water is today
even purer than the original analysis
showed it to be, and upon receipt of
the results of the Jacksonville labo-
ratory examination, the same will be
widely announced.
