man was one of the oldest men in
the county, lacking only a few

more than three score years. A
good, kind hearted old man has
passed from among us. Peace
to his ashes.

Out of the large number in at-

but each enjoyed himself as much
as his brother — admiring the

every one were.

Mr. Bontloy Maples' represen-

of great mirth.
About 10 o'clock the face
masks were removed and the i>all

being rendered by the Jung-Tur

enjoyable evening.

of attending the g.ild«n w Iding of Mr.

Chicago has lost a street. It
was worth $1,000,000, and the
city would like to find it again.
Gradual encroachments were
made on the street by a railroad
company until it was completely
covered, and the city will insti-
tute eviction proceedings.
John Hewett, of San Angelo,
has challenged John Murrah, of
Pecos, to rope five steers for SI,*

experts with the lasso, with re-
cords hovering around the minute
mark, and an exciting contest is
anticipated.
Boulder, Colo,, Fob. 7th —The
11'lar I of 1 )irectors of the ('■ dora-
do Chautauqua held a well at-
tended and very enthusiastic
meeting here tonight. President
J. L. Long of Fort Worth, Texas,
was detained and is expected to-
morrow. I tie Board by unani-
mous vote accepted the proposi-
tion of Rev. Rimer T. Wilson of
San Antonio, Texas, to again bo
its Platform Superintendent. Ad-
de I to these duties, Mr. Wilson
will also be General Manager of
the Session of 1002.
It is intended to be^in the ses-
sion July 4th and close August
Sth. The summer school will be
a continuous session of five weeks,
the Wednesday holiday being
discarded for this session. Traffic
Manager Wellington and General
Passenger Agent Fisher of the
Colorado iV Southern road wore
present. There will be cheap
rates during the session from all
points in Colorado. It is also
decided that there will be several
days set apart for fraternal or-
ganizations. Among these a
Woodmen's day is assured.
The Board was divided between
the offers of John Bohr of the
Symphony Orchestra of Kansas
City, a former leader at the Chau-
tauqua, and Louis Rischar, the
leader of last year, now of Chica-
go. It was decided that the pol-
icy of keeping the grounds open
on Sunday without any charge
would be continued, and it was
further determined at the instance
of Director George F. Fonda that
the day would be observed with
entirely religious matter. Music
is not to bo of a popular charac-
ter on that day but sacred con-
certs will bo given.
Salt water used as a gargle
will strengthen the throat, and
harden the gums; used as awash
it will strengthen weak eyes;
used in the bath it is a tonic; as
a lotion for the hair it prevents
and stops its falling.
