Lamar Has OF Season.

1t doesn't happen very often-but
rs the Chinaman said it "can happen.
The Lamar high school is having an
off year at football. The last hopes
that there would be a rally that might
yet bring the usual championship flag
to the local school faded last Satur-
day when the Savages went down to
defeat by score of 90 to 0, the La
Junta school being on the long end of
the score. Only once or twice in the
history of the school has such a decis-
i've defeat been administered to the
local team by any eleven. La Junta
is the only eleven in the valley with
out a defeat charged up to it now, and
they look like they would be able to
land the championship. The local
boys played hard game but were
badly outweighed especially in the
backfield, and the La Junta boys prov
cd it was no accident by forcing over
a touchdown in each of the first three
quarters. The game was almost en-
-fclS pldyeu III IdIlEr territory ana
most Of the time La Junta had pos
session of the ball. The La Junta
team reminded old time Lamarites of
the big Lamar team of a dozen years
ago which had a corner on the valley
flag for several years and one season
carried off the state championship. The
Lamar boys have only one more home
game, on Saturday, November 7th,
and will make n strong effort to win
at least this one home game. How
ever, the game is with the Fowler
eleven which last week defeated Rocky
Ford and is proving a hard one for
any team to beat.

Death of DIR. F. Milton Friend.

On Monday afternoon of this week
the many friends of DR.. F. Milton
Friend in Lamar were greatly shock
ed to hear of his death at the Lamar
hospital. The Doctor, who in spite of
his seventy-seven years has always ap-
peared to be in robust health and not
ed for vigor. was taken severely sick
last week, and after a consultation of
the physicians of the city it was de-
cided the only possible hope of saving
his life was through an operation. He
was taken to the hospital and the op-
GRAFTON performed Friday night and
for several days it was believed that
he was on the road to recovery, but
Monday afternoon he took a turn for
the worse and sank rapidly passing
away about five o'clock. The funeral
service was held from the Methodist
church on Wednesday afternoon and
interment made in Riverside cemetery.
The service at the church was conduct
ed by Rev. Logan and Judge ]. C.
Horn, and the funeral was in charge
of the l. o. o. F. Lodge and G. A. r.
Post, both of which organizations he
was always one of the most active
members. A firing squad in charge
of Lieut.. C. P. Childress fired the sa-
Lutte in honor of the departed soldier.
He leaves a widow and one
son, F. H. Friend, and one daughter,
Mrs. H. P. Syp, to mourn his loss. He
was one of the pioneers in the settle
ment of this country, coming to Baca
county in the spring of 1887, and NOV
ing about six years later to Lamar
where he has been practicing his pro
fession ever since. He was prominent
in the medical association and in many
business enterprises, and had many
friends throughout this and Baca coun-
ty who will regret to hear of his death.
The family have the sincere sympathy
of all in their loss.

BANNER BRIGHT.

For week there has been on display
in the window of the Mineral Point
Public Service Co. beautiful blue and
gold banner. This banner is given out
by the Northwest Utilities Co to the
division selling the most securities, or
prererred stock as some term it, in one
week. The honor came to Mineral
Point for the third week in July. That
is quite a feather in the cap of this
division, considering there are fourteen
divisions in all, including such promin-
ent places as GAINESVILLE, Fond du Lac,
Beaver Dam and other big towns.

LOOKED US OVER.

j. T. PAUL of Ridgeway, Republican
capdidate for Member of Assembly,
took look over the people of this city
Saturday last. He reported as having
enjoyed the friendly hand shake and so
forth. He was frank in stating that it
would be unreasonable to expect to
drag away many votes in this city from
his competitor. Chas W. Hutchinson,
WIFI was born and raised here, and is
wei worthy of hearty home support.
These are two good men. They may
differ on some minor points, but both
are clean, upright Republicans.

HUTTON AT BAT.

Those who heard Governor Blaine's
talk at the Municipal Theatre, this city,
July 10th, will remember his attack on
Il. p. Hutton. State Supt. of the Wis
consin Anti-Saloon League. The Gov
ernor having INDUCED in the same line
of talk in other towns, relative to Mr.
Hutton, and he (Hutton) being in
hospital all the while, it is only fair to
publish his reply prepared by him as
soon as he was able after his hospital
experience
Hon. John j. Blaine, Governor
Dear Sir: have been unable to
earlier reply to you attack upon the
Wisconsin Anti Saloon League as have
been in the hospital for three weeks and
have undergone two operations. has
ten now to reply because your state
ment does a great injustice TO 1,500
preachers and 200, 900 church members,
covering nearly every denomination,
who constitute the bulk of our cooper
ating constituency.
Contrary to your insinuation, the
League activities are neither originated
personally by me nor personally con-
trolled by me. These federated organ
izations choose their respective trus
tees. In the regular annual and in
specially called meetings these trustees
adopt the campaign programs and elect
headquarters committee to supervise
the carrying out of them. That was
done this year at the dry law enforce
ment convention held in Milwaukee on
May Gath, with over 5000 drys present
and participating, over 500, or more
than 10 per cent, being pastors.
"You allude to 'Hutton's convention
of the committee of a. Neither the
Anti-Saloon League nor myself partic
pated in that convention or had any
part in getting il up, except that we
urged our dry friends, if they happened
to belong to that faction. to support
dry nominations.
THAT convention did what any I'M
bossed convention Of the common people
will do now, viz nominated a law en-
forcement list of candidates. If the
kitchen cabinet dctators Of your fac
ton ever dare to trust the common
people Of your faction to meet in mass
convention, the same thing would hap
pen and in that case you would never
be the selection, in our humble opinion.
1t would be some other of the drys of
your faction who, by supporting the
amendments to your bill, put enough
teeth into it so that they made dry en-
enforcement possible in this state. The
proof is the fact that over half of your
own followers on every vote stood
against you and in favor of the bill and
the amendments supported by the w.
C. r. u, the Anti-Saloon League, the
churches, the Sunday schools, and the
dry organizations generally.
''You say the dry lobbyists 'blud-
geoned the Matheson bill through.
More than half of your followers sup
ported it from first to last, even against
your very manifest disapproval. Your
remarks, therefore, are a gratuitous
insult to many of your followers in the
legislature. They proved themselves to
be men Of the highest devotion to con-
viction. II you will tell the world what
passed between you and certain sena-
tors whom you called to your Office
while your bill was pending, we will
cheerfully accept the verdict of the
people as to where bludgeon came from.
with regard to your candidacy, was
