With distinct military cut, this nobby
spring and Palm Beach fashion,
called the "Navy Combination" is
simplicity in itself. The jacket or
coat part of the suit is made of
navy blue serge stitched with white
silk twist and trimmed with plain
white serge collar and cuffs. An
original touch is the loose flap pock-
ct that hangs just little bit below
the bottom of the coat. The belt is
made of white leather. A white
serge wide skirt stitched with white
silk in three thin bands around the
bottom completes the model.

Apples Scarce

Apples scarce
The writer, while visiting at Glen
wood Springs a few days ago, was
asked by several merchants if we
knew where they could obtain some
good apples. For the benefit of Glen
wood merchants we wish to state that
good apples are scarce in this section
this spring. Mrs. Chas. johnson Of
Battlement mesa has supply of Mis-
souri, Pippins and Ben Davis. :,
A meeting of D. & R. G. officials
gathered at Salida, Colo, and decided
to expend good sum of money in nee
essary repairs for their property dur
ing the coming summer. The depot at
Glenwood will be repainted and the
roadbed between New Castle and Grand
Junction will be ballasted. It was also
decided to paint what they call their
depot here, but Rifle people would be
pleased to hear that the railroad com
pany was going to build new depot
instead of painting the old structure.
A town doing the business that Rifle
is doing is justly entitled to an up-to-
date station and one that we would be
proud to boast of. The present build
ing is an eyesore to passersbv and is
anything but boost for the town.
There is more freight handled at the
Rifle depot than any town of its size
on the D. & R. G. system, and this fact
should entitle our citizens to some con-
sideration from the company
Let us hope that the day is not far
distant when the present depot at this
point will be termed and known as the
freight depot. and that the railroad
company will build neat passenger
station. This article would be good
reading in the Red Book.
Dame fashion reigns supreme in this
vicinity, as our stores for the ladies
are kept right up to the minute on all
ladies' wearing apparel. This fact
speaks well for our merchants and also
gives the gentler sex an opportunity u
see the latest models in dress fabrics
without taking chances on sending to
the mail order house and sending tha
money out of the community.
There will be more sugar beets raised
in this section this year than ever be-
fore, due to the high price that the ST.
gar company will pay for the beets,
and also that the sugar company will
plant a large acreage themselves.
The city dads met in regular session
on Wednesday evening A committee
waited on the council, asking for do.
nation from the town for the support
Of the Rifle band. By unanimous con-
sent Of the mayor and board Of trus-
tees they decided to donate $120 to the
band each year during the exhtence Of
the organization. This shows the prop
er spirit on the part Of our town coun-
ell and also reveals the fact that they
want such an organisation in the town.

Mrs. James Roden died at her home
ON west Fourth street yesterday af-
ternoon at 1890 o'clock following an
illness of about nine weeks of COM

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Held Regular Monthly Business Meet
Ing at the High School Building
Last Evening.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Board OF Education of the Public
Schools was held last evening in the
High School building, Messrs. Brown
ing, Cochran, Miles, Clarke, Russell,
Richardson, Matthews and Merz being
present. Very little business of i'm
portance was transacted.
Superintendent Caplinger present.
ed his report Of the work done during
the past month and of the new system
installed in the schools He also made
report Of his action regarding ask
ing for a rigid enforcement of the
pool room law for minors.
The District and Teachers Commit
Tee reported that Miss Frances Geisel
had been elected as teacher of Do
nestle Science for the High School.
The matter Of hiring an assistant for
her In preparing the lunch was left In
the hands of Superintendent Cap
linger
The formal resignation of. Miss
Elizabeth Luttrell as stenographer in
Mr.. Caplinger's Office was received
The matter Of choosing a successor was
left with Mr.. Caplinger. The plan
that will most probably be used will
be to employ some of the advanced
students in the commercial depart
ment of the High School during their
spare hours. This would mean quite
a saving for the school board and
would be a splendid help to those stu
dents in experience.
Some discussion was then entered
into regarding the change of pupils
from one building to another. Mr.
Russell, from the Fourth Ward, noti-
fed the Board that he was opposed to
the change. There was no heated
controversy over the matter and all
of the members of the board stated
that they thought the change a good
move, excepting Mr.. Russell Hopes
were expressed that the matter would
be satisfactorily settled.
No further business the Board ad-
journed.
