The Graden Mercantile Company, sale of telegraph plant. The plant of the Durango Telegraph was sold under morizage this morning by A. F. Hocd, J. A. Pulliam bidding the same in for $1,800. This is more than the material and equity in the Mergenthaler is worth, the latter being mortgaged for in the neighborhood of $1,800. The Herald management was one of the bidders at the sale, having figured the proposition carefully, being willing to give all the plant was worth, and when D. F. Day offered $1,7756 and then Mr. Pulliam went it was all off with this push. The Herald has had a surfeit of buying newspapers plants at high figures to get rid of rival concerns, but having signed the value of the material was willing to make a reasonable offer, but not one dollar for bonus. True, the Herald management has been solicited on all sides. The past week to buy the plant and get it out of the field, thus relieving those who have been bored and pestered to death for patronage a rest. To the extent of future realization, we were willing to comply with their request. In fact, the sum offered would have necessitated holding the material until a purchaser could be found and then possibly at a considerable loss. Mr. Pulliam was simply acting as agent and what the real owners contemplate doing has not been divulged, and so far as we are personally concerned, it makes little difference. If publication is resumed, the ordeal will fall on those who will be solicited to keep the sheet going in order to get someone out of the hole with the inevitable result of failure in a short time. There is no room for a third paper and the one who tries it will find out to their sorrow the same as the many who are now holding the bag. The plant has forever passed out of the hands of its former owner and those who were worked for credit and business will have the pleasure of whistling for their money. The part played in bidding this morning was purely in the interests of those who have been bled and who were anxious for the sheet to be removed from the field. From Saturday's Daily. Mrs. Newt. Jack went to Ignacio this morning. The fair management is highly pleased over the attendance this afternoon. E. A. Nock, the D. & R. G., right-of-way man, left on the morning train for Denver. The imported ball players, or four of them at least, pulled out for Denver this morning. Mrs. Rateliffe, one of the injured in the Rio Grande Southern wreck, left for Denver this morning. Mrs. R. J. Newland, who has been visiting the Misses Ellett, left on the morning train. Train for her home in Missouri. E. W. Hodges and wife are down from Silverton, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hanna. They arrived last evening and expect to return in the morning. Hon. T. D. Burns returned to his home at Tierra Amarilla this morning, after spending one day in Durango. Intended visiting the fair but rain spoiled his fun. Alvert Puett of the Montezuma valley and county, is among the fair visitors. He is the promoter and main push in the building of a new waterway which will irrigate the lands higher than those already under cover by the No. 1 and No. 2 ditches. The Montezuma county fair at Cortez next week will close the series in this southwest section. No doubt Durango will be well represented, although most of us have had a strenuous time with fairs the past three weeks—Farmington, Aztec, and then our big local event. Tom Helbler of Ouray is among the visitors at the fair. He finds Durango a good town and says so. For Ouray, he said that conditions are very good. A silver producing camp, it has suffered with others in the demonstration of silver, but gold, copper, lead values have helped out and the camp is still a good one. The Denver bound passenger train did not get away until 12:20 this afternoon, owing to four freight cars loaded with merchandise attached to the mixed train leaving Durango at 8:00 a.m. 6:46 jumping the track near Hermosa. The cars remained on the ties and a wrecking train sent from Durango soon had them on the track. No damage—only delay and inconvenience to those traveling. W. S. Weightman's store is overrun with fruit, Mr. Weightman having purchased the fine fruit displayed at the fair by John Turner, prize winner, T. A. Kerr and G. W. Spencer. —o— — ball game scheduled yesterday between Durango and Farmingion and intended to be played today, and to be dispensed with owing to inability of the Farmington boys to remain over. —o— — is over for the present season. Let us trust next season Durango will have a ball team without the necessity of sending out for players who have no local pride in winning. The following October magazines have been received by the public library: Harper's Monthly, Collier's, Scribner's, McClure, Century, Youth's Companion, Popular Science Monthly, Engineering and Mining Journal, Ladies' Home Journal, Booklover's, Cosmopolitan, Lippincott's, St. Nicholas and Harper's Bazar. The New Year holiday season, which was ushered in last night, is being observed by several of the Jewish residents of Durango today. With the advent of the New Year holiday, for "Rosh Hashonna," which began last evening and lasts two days, the year 666 will be ushered in, the year being reckoned from the creation. On the first day of the month Tishri, the Creator began His work, and the New Year comes on this day. From the first day of "Rosin Hashonna," and eleven the week before, until sundown of "Yom Kigpur," or the Day of Atonement, which will be Monday, October 29, the period is one of penance. SENTENCE SERMONS. Weakness cannot wait, Friends never come in flocks. Love is the great human lodestone. Labor is the noblest of all prayers. Every sin would like to syndicate itself. When religion is only a thing it is worse than nothing. Enough is as good as a feast; more. - | leads but to famine. - | even a child knows the difference between piety and paddling, No man can be an infidel who has some faith in other men. - | a few friends at heart are worth a whole directory in the head. The day of rest is never the better for making it a day of rest. Look to your works and your wings will take care of themselves. It is easy to forgive the men who have wronged the other fellow. The “cloth” is an effective insulator between men and the ministry. The only doubts for which to apologize are those you feel like advertising. Too many hope to bull their own religious stock by bearing that of others. The top notch of sentiment is gained more easily than the lowest step of service. Many times do we get the names of our troubles and our treasures transposed. There is more of the divine in a little diligence than in all the dignity in creation. The trouble with the habit of criticism is that it soon becomes a cloak for our own faults. Some men think they are forehand. EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY. New York Mail. Among the unaccountable contradictions in the news announcements of the day we notice the statement that “12,000,000 frankfurters were eaten at Coney Island this summer,” and that “more bench shows than ever will be held this fall and winter” ORIGIN OF THE FRANKFURTER. The little sausage known as “frankfurter” and “wiener” was offered for sale for the first time in 1805, and the centennial was observed in Vienna by the Butchers' guild. The inventor of the sausage was Johann Lahner, who named K for his birthplace, Frankfur. The business founded 100 years ago by a poor man has yielded. A fortune to its various heads. It always remained in the same family, and is now conducted in Vienna by Franz Lahner, a grandnephew of the original Frankfurter Sausage map. Mrs. C. C. Eddy returned last evening from a two-months' visit with relatives in Boulder county. Lew Cameron of San Juan County, in M., has accepted a position with W. T. D. Burns at Tierra Amarilla. Otto Mears was a through passenger to Silverton last evening, being accompanied by his wife. Joe Prewitt, who has made Aztec headquarters for some years, will move to Farmington the coming week. E. M. Burgess, manager of the Colorado Telephone company, accompanied by his wife, was among the arrivals from Denver last evening. The rain of Thursday night and yesterday will be of great value to farmers and stockgrowers. It will fit the ground for fall plowing and keep grass green until winter sets in. Col. Galvin, who accompanied H. L. Hall to Ignacio yesterday, says the moisture was not the kind he relishes, but as Mr. Hall is a good entertainer, he managed to pull through the day very well. H. T. Henderson, accompanied by V. T. Malott to Silverton last evening, where the interests of the Reekwoni power plant will be inspected. My Malott is a prominent railroad man of Indianapolis. The property owners of San Juan county, New Mexico, are evidently in good financial condition, as the annual tax list now running in the Aztec line takes up less than two columns of space. This is surely a good indication. Vivian Thomas, nee Killian, has been visiting her parents for two weeks. She is employed in the office of Frank W. Howbert, revenue collector, at Denver. She was waiting for the delayed Silverton train to the east this morning. Stephen J. Smith, who has been with Durango and Montezuma county banks and financial circles for many years, was in from Cortez yesterday, and with Attorney W. F. Mowry of that place was waiting this morning to catch a train for Denver. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Allen departed for their Farmington home this morning after the best part of a week in the city attending the fair. They will be the next few weeks busy ones, they must make up for lost time, having spent the best part of three weeks at the Farmington, Aztec and Durango fairs. Dr. S. W. Morrison, the promoter of irrigation systems in La Plata county, was at the depot this morning, waiting with others for the arrival of the train for the East. He said he wanted to attract attention to the fact that there are ten thousand acres of good land in the Ignacio country, which will be brought into use by the building of a new irrigating ditch which he is planning to build, and which has already enriched the interest of many in cooperative effort to build a bigger empire. The Democrat promises a roast of the fair management. And what do the directors care? The Democrat opposed the Fourth of July celebration but it was a success just the same, and notwithstanding the fact that the Democrat was thrown cold water on the fair from the start Wednesday was one of the banner days of the association meetings and had yesterday been fair the attendance would no doubt have broken all records. So let your arrows of spleen fly, They are harmless. From a letter to a friend, Miss Mary Sites having the time of her life in her western trip, After the time of writing, September 22, Miss Sites was in Victoria, British Columbia, having, after leaving Durango, visited friends at Aberdeen, Wash., until the first of August, when she continued to Portland, where she spent some weeks taking in the exposition and enjoying the balmy Pacific coast atmosphere. From Los Angeles she went to Port Angeles, and thence to Seattle. She says there are many points of interest at the old town of Victoria and she finds much to amuse and study in the people and their customs. Before returning home Miss Sites will visit friends in California for some months, and of course this means added enjoyment, as California is a delightful spot in winter. The Herald for Job Work.
