People who suffer with hay fever
are making their escape to the
mountains, that is those who can
afford to call it hay fever. Others
call it a hail cold and stay at home.
What luck a woman is in who
can change her gowns as often as
she changes her mind, says an ex
change. Yes? Well what luck a
husband is in who has a wife that
can change her mind in any old
gown.
Telegrams from Washington to
Manila cost 52.50 per word. Dewey
may have cut the cable on the
score of economy. He probably
did not want our august naval
strategy board to go broke on giv
ing him instructions.
La Junta has a good prospect of
going populist this fall. The ever
increasing number of bootblack
stands and various other obstruc
tions allowed on our principal
streets is slowly but surely forcing
many of citizens into a middle of
the road attitude.
Some one suggests boycotting
Pullman coaches that bear Spanish
names. Anti-Spanish feeling can
become idiotic. Why not change
the name of La Junta and Albu
querque, San Francisco and Cali
fornia? The “Its” are getting too
much in evidence in this Spanish-
American matter. An “it” is a
creature with a vacuum where his
brain ought to be.
Kansas parties have manufact
ured a model for a weed-killer to
be attached beneath a locomotive,
underneath the pilot. When at
tached to the engine it breaks off
the weeds between and on both
sides of the track about two inches
lower than the rails. The machine
is arranged so that it can be made
to work or not at the will of the
engineer, and when an article is
in the way it will run over it with
out injury. It is the intention of
the inventors to have these ma
chines attached to the regular
trains, and thus keep the weeds
down without the assistance of the
section men.

PASSENGER COLLISION.
Train No. 6 Runs Into No. 5 at
Conroa—A Number of Paooan
gcra Injured.
A had smash-up occurred on the
Santa Fe Wednesday night near
Conroe, a small station a few miles
east of Lamar. Train No. 6, at
tached to engine 319 in charge of
Engineer John Madigan, crashed
into No. 5 as shfe was going on
the side track, the engine throw
ing the baggage car 100 feet off the
track, wrecking one end of Wells
Fargo’s refrigerator car and plow
ing half way through the smoker,
which was occupied by twenty or
thirty passengers. No. 6 had or
ders to meet No. 5 at Conroe, and
it appears was three minutes ahead
of time at the meeting point. No.
5 was just pulling in on the side
track when No. 6 came down upon
| them, going at a rate of forty miles
an hour. The night was very
dark and a thick fog made it im
possible to see even a headlight at
; a distance of fifty feet. Engineer
Madigan and Fireman John Mur
phy both jumped, and were con
siderably bruised and shaken up,
hut sustained no serious injuries.
The engine plowed half way
; through the smoker, and it is a
■ miracle that at least a dozen were
not killed. The boiler head of the
1 engine was knocked off and the es-
J caping steam scalded a number of
passengers whe were pinioned in
the debris. The lights in the
1 coach were all extinguished by the
i concussion, and most of the pas
sengers being asleep had great
difficulty in getting out of the car,
some of them being released from
: perilous positions by the train
i crew.
A special left La Junta at 4
o’clock Thursday morning con
taining Drs. Finney, Haskins, Dow
and Timmerman, who were en
| gaged for several hours in dressing
i the wounds of the injured. The
j special returned to this city at
about eight o'clock, bringing the
injured passengers, who were taken
to the local hospital and made as
comfortable as possible. There
were ten of them, but only four
were seriously injured, the balance
being able to get about without
assistance. Following are their
names and the injuries received:
A. W. Travis, of Kansas City;
baggageman on No. 5: compound
fracture of left leg.
C. L. Proctor, of Holly; Amity
ditch man; severe contusion on
hack.
Zach Horton, of Holly; ditch
man; three lacerations on right leg;
one severe.
Clyde Miller, of Holly; ditch
man; contusion right ankle and
leg; hack hurt; injured internally;
may die.
D. Carver, of Lexington Junc
tion, Mo., lacerated left wrist; con
tusion right leg.
B. Anderson, of Belton, Texas;
'Santa Fc B. and B. man; left ankle
sprained.
A. Harding, Missouri; miner;
wrenched right shoulder and fore
head lacerated.
C. M. Fisher, of Topeka; fore
man Santa Fe coal chutes; abrasion
on scalp; hands, face and ears
scalded, right hand badly.
J. W. Mclntire, of Coldwater,
Kan.; cattleman; punctured wound
left shoulder, lacerated hands and
head.
Three tramps who were riding
on top of the coaches of No. 6,
were thrown into the air, when the
concussion came, and landed in an
adjoining alfalfa field. They es
caped unhurt.
Pearl Shepard and C. W. Beach,
of the Great Plains Storage Com
pany, were brought in on No. 5,
which arrived at 12:45 o'clock, and
were taken to the hospital in the
ambulance. Their injuries were
only slight, the former having his
hack huit and the latter receiving
several small cuts on the arm and
side.
All of the patients at the hospi
tal were doing well yesterday, and
are rapidly recovering from their
injuries. Clyde Miller, who was
thought to have been seriously in
jured internally, is improving un
der skillful treatment and will pull
through all right.
New Bonds Going Rapidly.
Treasury officials are delighted
with the progress of the bond issue.
They expected great things, but it
looks as though their expectations
will be exceeded And the best of
it is, the bids are coming direct
from the people. It is a popular
loan in the best sense of the word.
To record the subscription will
he a tremendous task. It is pro
bable there will be several hundred
thousand of them.
Secretary Gage received offers
from New York parties for $lO,-
000,000 worth of the new war
bonds at 101. He declined the of
fer for the reason that congress has
provided that the bonds be sold at
par. At present the indications
are that individual subscriptions
will reach four hundred million
dollars.'

It Happened In Kaneae.
A temperance lecturer from Bos
ton was traveling westward over
the Santa Fe, and whenever he met
any of the other passengers he soon
commenced to talk temperance.
Soon alter leaving Kansas City
the lecturer fell in with a resident
of Western Kansas.
“This is Kansas,” remarked the
native of the land of the sunny
skies.
“So we have left the clutches of
the liquor men and are now travel
ing in a civilized state, where pro
hibition is in force," said the lec
turer.
“Yes," remarked the Kansas man,
“we drink nothing but water.”
“I should like to taste some Kan
sas water,” said the man whose aim
was to promote total abstinence.
“I will get you some at the first
stop we make. This on the train
is Missouri water, taken on at Kan
sas City,” said the man.
When Topeka was reached the
Kansas man said he would get off
and get some genuine Kansas water.
The Kansas man got oft, and as
soon as he left the seat with the
man who longed only for mild
drinks, . his mind wandered to
thoughts of treason against his un
suspecting lecturer. Yes, it would
be so easy to pour the tin cup a
third full of whisky. He got the
water and poured in a good allow
ance of liquor, io years old. He
took the “water” in to the lecturer.
“Here’s a drink of Adam’s ale
brewed in Kansas,” he remarked as
he handed it to the thirsty man.
The temperance lecturer took it,
put the cup to his lips and drained
the contents without removing it.
When he was through he handed
the cup back and smacked his lips.
“I have heard that Kansas water
js saturated with alkali, said the
eastern man.—Topeka Journal.
liver Complaints S Nervousness Cured
A torpid liver always produces
dullness, irritability, etc. You are
all clogged up and feel despondent.
Perhaps you have treated with
physicians or tried some recom
mended medicine without benefit.
All that is no argument against
“Dr. Fenner’s Blood and Liver
Remedy and Nerve Tonic.” which
we insist will cure neivousness aod
liver complaints. If not satisfied
after using one bottle your money
will be refunded by the Palace
Drug Store.
The farmers in the Fairmont
country arc burning the alfalfa
fields devastated by the hail storm,
preparatory to putting in a new
crop.
For the biennial meeting of gen
eral federation of Women’s Clubs
at Denver, Colo., June 21st to
29th, tickets will be sold June 20th
and 21st, with final limit for return
June 30th. The fare from La
Junta will be $7.23 for the round
trip.—W. O. Skinner, Agent.
William Vanordstrand, a Santa
Fe brakeman residing in Dodge
City, and running between that
city and La Junta, missed his foot
ing in attempting to board No. 31
Wednesday night, falling under
neath the cars and having his left
leg badly crushed. He was taken
to the Santa Fe hospital, where
his leg was amputated just below
the knee, the operation being per
formed by Dr. Finney. Vanord
strand sank very low during the
night and it was thought for a time
that he would not survive the shock
to his system. He was on the
mend yesterday, however, and will
probably pull through all right.
Mrs. Vanordstrand left Dodge City
on No. 3, which met with an acci
dent at the Conroe siding, and did
not reach her husband until noon
Thursday. Mr. Vanordstrand car
ried no accident insurance, having
given up his membership in the B.
R. T. He is a member of the A.
O. U. W.
The Register says that Lemon
Brothers' circus tried to pluck the
blossoms off the alfalfa grangers at
Lamar during their recent visit,
but the grangers turned themselves
loose and picked more flies off the
attaches of the circus than could
gather around the bunghole of a
molasses barrel on a summer day.
The chief attraction of the side
show was two “shell games," and
the crowd of suckers who had been
practicing to do the show, were
being fleeced in great shape. The
police interfered and there was a
regular rough and tumble scrap
between the citizens and showmen,
in which tent poles and pins, clubs
and revolvers were quite freely
used, and many were the bruised
heads received. Seven of the cir
cus men were taken before a jus
tice of the peace and plead guilty
to a charge of assault. The judge
picked the alfalfa blossoms off of
them in the sum of 1 102 and let
them go with the admonition that
Lamar is a hot thing and should
be handled with care.
A man with a kodak and a flash
light could have secured a money
making view had he been out on
Raton avenue about 3 o’clock one
morning this week. A breeze
sprang up in the night and an inof
fensive door on an outbuilding in a
backyard commenced to slam back
and forthwith resounding thwacks,
to the great annoyance of a light
sleeper. Resolved to put a quietus
upon the mstter the light sleeper
arose,opened his door (which closed
by a spring lock) and, clothed in
virtuous indignation and a night
shirt, and armed with a shiver and
whiskers, he quickly fastened the
offending doors. Alas, alack, for
the forgetfulness of righteous in
dignation. He returned to hit
own door only to find that it bad
blown shut —and fastened. Door
locked, no key, and the wife of his
bosom snoring away in an upstairs
room iu blissful ignorance of his
picturesque dilemma. Finally he
let himself down gently through a
cellar window, scraped all the bark
ol from his shins, and landed with
one foot in a roll ol batter and the
other in a cherry pie. He now
wears bia night key on a blue rib
bon around his neck.
