Tho future of Canyon county looks bright. The legislature seems disposed to give the matter a fair hearing, and that is all we ask. The bill so far has received fair and favorable treatment, and there, j no cause to feel dis-couraged.

Trinidad Citizen: There are fully 1000 farmers large and small in Las Animas county. There are probably forty or fifty cattlemen that is, those who follow this line exclusively. It is time legislation should shift toward the creator number and greater necessity. The preient ettray law is a mean sort of stattilo enacted in the interest of wandering and fence-breakin- animals. The testimony before the state legis-lative relief committee goes to prove that certain barren region of eastern Colorado are of no practical use with-out water. Thii announcement comes too late to be news.

The Affliction is Dot so Severe as Was Last Winter ia Salt Lake, THE WAEM SPEINGS A EEMEDTi Contentment is Everything in This Life, and a Nightly Perusal of the Times Has the Desired Eesu'lt, King La Grippe has been In Salt Lake for days. His arrival this winter is the signal for a wholesale surrender along the rauks of humanity. Peoplej don't want to, but this horrible Russian influenza possesses in a degree tho tyrannical spirit of the czar whence it came, and it finally masters the being attacked. There aro a number ot forms of la grippe, auy oue of which is to be dreaded. A man with a tirst-cias- s dosn of it has all he can attend to, deppito the upward tendency of tho realty market. He does Dot want to tramp) around all day and at night reach his homo worn out ami turn in bed and let the disease get its line work in during the hours the sufferer is supposing him-self asleep. The man who has what he Imagines is a slight cold is just taking the initia-tory of the grand order of Is grippe. Ho rashes to his favorite druggist and tells him how ha feels. The man of medicine thinks a solemn thought and disappears behind the throne only to reappear with a bottle and box and parcel. Tho bottle contains a liberal lot of elixir pro, the box carries twenty grains ot capsuled quinine and the parcel is a soroll of porous plasters. The latter is to be applied to the chest and the for-mer are to be taken inwardly. On awakening the following morn i eg tho victim is, well he feels like a runner' ' that has bad several heats and won IUthS) money. Ho arises and goes out only to-- return at night in a worse conditio than before. Then he decides on beroia treatment and resolves lo grin, blow and bear it until the innueoza ha reached its course and the victim finally recovers. A great many men thoughtlessly court the grippe while at the tar not the legal, but the licraidesceni. They Indnlge In baths of those popular" brothers Tom and Jerry and Hot Scotch, and similar blood-boilin- bev-erages, and continue to run around ia the oold atmosphere. Few, it any, men can successfully stand such ex- - posures and the sooner they understand this the better they will fare. A fellow who gulps down hot drinks should Indoors for a time or be should take plain water which is not calculated to make him feel like a fan.' Note the recipe of a Salt Laker who has just recovered from a serious siege of the Influenza. After being housed for days," he says, "I went to the warm springs and took a good Ions soak and sweat in a tub. I had resolved on kill or cure and the latter resulted to my delight. Now I can attend to business like a decent man and the dumbness and dullness has left my brain and I experience a sensation something akin to a man who has had a vacation. While the Is grippe possesses a man it is next to useless-net- s for him to expect to continue busi-ness with a view to increasing hie bank account. Should be persist in the at- - tempt he will lose in whatever transac-tion that may occur and the fellow he deals with will retire bearing off the best of the bargain. Better let tho lamb remain unshorn until the affliction has passed. Fortunately, however, for humanity the present form of la grippe is not so serious as it was last winter. Ameri-cans are swift to accustom, themselves to imported afflic-tions and this time they struggle manfully on despite the presence of the nasty thing. Sure it cannot last always and one of these days it will depart as silently as it came, and leave the people free and unmolested. Good judgment and common sense are excellent doctors for the case, and the man who patronizes them has little to fear. Reading The Tiites while warming your feet before retiring for the night has proven beneficial in the majority of cases. There Is nothing like contentment when feeling unwell, and a man who reads Tub Timxs each night can retire with the assurance that ha knows what is transpiring in the various spots on this old globe, which was made in six days, aud of which Salt Lake is one of the important cities. KANARRA MEETlN j HOUSE BURNED. Tha l.o Is Bonirthine Ortr SjlOOO of luranrl larlsu). The Iron county News of Feb. 7 says: The people of Kanarra awoke as usual on Wednesday morning last, but to dis-cover great clouds of smoke and sheets of flame issuing from their meeting house. The whole building, which is of brick, was soon gutted, and nothing was saved except a Webster's diction-ary which had been used in the school held in the basement. I he oiper room was for divine ser-vice on Sundays, and such other meet-ings as were necessary to be held. No cause can be definitely assigned for the origin of the lire. A meeting was held there Tuesday evening, but no fire was made in the stove. There are snspljions which raie the thought of incendiarism.

SHOCKING REVELATIONS MADE AT THE CORONER'S INQUEST- - Tarn l.a'onria Abandon! the Oplnra Bowl for a Var and R turns to Its SXidnot-Ir- a Shrlna ti Walk lato tha Hol-low Jaws of Death. The coroner picked up another job yesterday, and for a time succeeded in making a mystery out of a case, the surroundings of which were as plain as a sunrise in the tropics. It was the death of Thomas C. Lalonde over which the fuss occurred. It had been rumored during the day that deceased had taken a drink at a certain saloon on the west side and that the particular drink had been the im-mediate cause of death. Then the pro prietor of the place who had been a warm friend of the deceased came for-ward on hit defense and through the bar tender and himself revealed a story thai was tilled with shocking features. Both testified that deceased had been addicted to the use of opium to hitting the pipe and that upon the night in ques-tion Lalonde made his appearance in the saloon and requested a drink. His looks at that time, said the bartender, were so weird and unnatural as to awaken suspicion. His eves were blood-shot, his face was bloated and blanched, his frame quivered, and the bartender remarked, "You've been at the old thing again." "Yes," said Lalonde, "I stopped her for a year, but she's got me again." It was an awful confeuion. The opium pipe had enslaved him and while ho had succeeded in liberating himself for a year his return was simply to walk into the jaws of death Tho jury found that Lelonde's death had been superinduced by fatty degeneration of the heart and the fuss was all over.
