WORSHIP IN SONG.

BY REV. NJ, b. DE WITT.
When morning light
Dispels the night,
And brings the happy day,
lift my eyes
To genial skies,
And sing a gladstone lay.
At brighter noon,
With thrilling tune,
My soul would own its debt
Ofmercies given
By bounteous Heaven,
And blessings growing yet,
The quiet eve,
With sweet reprieve
OF labor's service long,
Evokes the joy,
Without alloy,
OF gratitude in song.
But when the CLEANS
OF Sabbhat-beams
Bring round the day of praise,
What peace divine
From Heaven is mine
AS hymns of love | raise

When to Cut Oats.

Pittsburg Stookman.
saw an article in your last weeks
issue which speaks in favor of cutting
oats early. Now we disagree with the
author when he says it is better to cut
before it is ripe, and we will give our
reasons, and let the reader judge for
himself if we are not right.
When oats are cut green, the grains
which, even when ripe are small, will
shrink very much, and, consequently,
lose in weight; and whenitis threashed
much will be blown away with the
chaff, which would not be if it had
been left standing until ripe, and the
grain full grown. Besides this, the
farmer runs a great risk in cutting oats
before it is ripe, especially if he cut it
with reaper, and tie it up at once, Of
having it mould; and this risk is in
creased if there should be much rain
before he can store it in the barn. 1t
also takes longer for oats cut green to
become fit for hauling than if it is left
standing until ripe, besides being much
harder to cut and handle. Oats cut
when ripe will thresh one-half easier,
as any farmer knows. The straw may
make better feed when cut green, but
there are very few people who would
whish to use it for that purpose, when
they would lose twice the amount they
would gain in the loss of weight and
quality of the oats. The idea of rails.
ing oats is not so much to preserve the
straw as that we may cut it when the
oats is best, and has most weight. We
deny that oats when cut green will be
winter and cleaner, but know from
experience that the opposite is usually
the case. When cut green it often hai
dark color, and very often some o.
the grain will be moulded. When
ripe it can be bauled in almost at once
and threshed as soon as hauled.
Our reasons, then, for allowing oat'
to become ripe before cutting are thC
following: Q) The grains will fill GU
better, and it will weigh more..-- --whel
threshed. (2) Less will blow. away
with the chaf when threshed. e.
1t is not so apt to mould. (4) 1t cal
be hauled in and threshed sooner
90 1t will have a better color.

THE SCHOOL YEAR CLOSED.
Thorough Examinations in Every Dc
partment Rules Which Gov
~ erned the Same.

The final examinations of the spring
term of the Cafion City Public Schools
closed yesterday, the entire week having
been devoted thereto and the yearly re-
views and reports and the giving of GER
ti6cates. As far as practicable the exam
nations were written, and constituted a
thorough test of scholarship and advance
ment. Ample time was taken to do the
work we'll, and the schools closed better
classified and graded than ever before in
their history. A certificate of standing
was issued to every pupil, signed by the
teacher and the principal, showing the
studies the pupil should pursue next year,
the books he should purchase, his standing
in each study at the close of the year, and
the class he should enter next year These
certificates should be preserved, and pre-
sented at the opening of the school next
September, to entitle the pupil to rank
without examination.
The following rules governed the exam
animation:
Pupils averaging seventy-five per cent
and over, advance to the next grade.
Pupils averaging ninety per cent. and
over, and standing ninety per cent in
mathematics, skip" one grade, with the
consent of their parents.
Pupils averaging between sixty and sew
enty-fve per cent. cannot advance without
special examination, averaging eighty
per cent, in September next, in order to
advance with their class. This will give
any who have been in school but part Of a
year, and who may fall below their grade
for that reason, an opportunity of regain
ing their grade with some reviews during
the summer.
Pupils averaging below sixty per cent
cannot have special examination privileges,
and must remain with the same grade an
other year.

A Strangers Opinion.

Mr.. J. H. Ryland, of the powder firm of
Messrs. Latin & Rand, Dubuque, Iowa,
which also has branch house at Denver,
after having made recreation and health
seeking tour of Colorado, spent the past
week in Canon, having found an old ac-
quaintance in the person of, our fellow
townsman, Mr.. G. o. Baldwin. Mr.. Ryland
say ours is the prettiest located, most beau
tifully surrounded, and decidedly the most
attractive and inviting residence city he
has seen in the state. During his soiourn
here he has daily bathed in the refreshing
waters of our hot springs, drank from our
soda and iron springs, promenaded our en-
powered avenues, enjoyed the fragrance of
our matchless flower gardens, and reveled
in our luscious strawberries and cream MI.

HE TOOK LEG BAIL,
A Summit County Convict EiuasA an
On1cer, and Escapes.

Sheriff Daniel Hanley, ofSummit county,
arrived at Gallon on the night train be-
tween IL and l o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, with Matt Wells, a printer, who was
convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced
to ten years. he having killed Mr.. Kerr, of
Leadville, and gotten a change of venue to
Summit county. Sheriff Hanley had his
man handcuffed, arrived safely with him,
and knocked for entrance at the peniten-
tiary door; but, not receiving reply,
walked with his prisoner to the Mcclure
house, where the conveyance had just ar-
rived with passengers from the train. Not
wishing to push past the crowd, he waited
with his prisoner until the party passed
into the hotel, thinking to follow and in
quire how he could find the jail, intending
to deposit Wells with Sheriff Jones until
morning. One of the passengers remarked
to the sheriff, upon passing into the hotel,
that he had left his overcoat at the depot
and after thanking him for the informa-
tion, Sheriff Hanley turned to speak to his
prisoner, when he found that he was no
where to be found. As the sheriff had
only lost sight OF his man for n very few
seconds, and felt certain that he was by his
side, he was very much surprised and
chagrined to know that he had escaped.
Every effort was made by the sheriff and
the passengers to recapture the fugitive,
but to no avail. Wells is described rs
printer, five feet and ten inches high, front
teeth filled with gold, weight only 125
pounds; very slim, fair hair and light
moustache, and, rs o reward of $500 is Of
fered for him, it is likely he will be recap
tured.
Since the above was in type, Wells gave
himself up to Messrs. A. and ID. Curtis,
Mt their ranch on Beaver creek, about
fifteen miles from this city, and was
brought here and placed in the county
Jail to await the arrival Of Sheriff Han
ley from Breckenridge.

What They Did at the Adjourned
Meeting Thursday Evening.

The city council met in regular session
on Monday evening last, but, as important
business was to come up, and a full board
not being present, the meeting adjourned
until Thursday evening, when the follow
ing business was transacted:
Mr.. Cassedy, from the committee on
water, reported that he and his fellow COM
mitteemen had looked over the route OF
the proposed new ditch; but, having no
surveyor, had not arrived at any definite
conclusions, nor could they until thorough
survey had been made. They were of the
opinion, however, that the cost of the
project would exceed all estimates thus far
made, and asked for further time, which
was granted.
1t was ordered by the board that the
new soda spring be put in shape for use
the ground so graded as to make it easy of
access the premises about the old spring
leveled off; the waste ditch given more
fall the general surroundings SO improved
as to abate present nuisances, and the
whole place made more pleasant and at
tractive The mayor was appointed to
personally superintend the improvements.
Bills of the Cafion City Hydraulic and
Irrigating Ditch Company, for water fur
nished the city, and repairs, etc, for month
Of May, aggregating $1O5, were ordered
paid.
The bill of W. R. Agard, for constable's
fees in a case wherein the city, as plaintiff,
was defeated, was laid on the table until
the question of Jurisdiction between con-
stables apd<the city marshal shall have
been legally determined. @
Street Commissioner Sell was ordered to
put in q street crossing at the corner of
Harrison avenue and Fifth street
The mayor called the attention of the
board to the fact that waste water from
numerous flood gates along the irrigating
ditch, below the city, was seriously damage
ing the eastern portion of Main street
wherenpon the board instructed the record
er to inform the Canon City Hydraulic and
Irrigating Ditch Company, in writing, that
the city will hold it responsible for all
damages thus done.
The several bids for printing the city
ordinances in pamphlet form were then
opened. They are as follows: Blake &
FELTON,, solid BREWER, So per page; H. w.
Comstock, loaded BREWER, Sl.So per page
solid, 81; 6. n. Udell, bourgeois, $150 per
page.
On motion of Mr.. Cassedy the mayor ap-
pointed Councilmen Cassidy, Pauls and
Skecle q committee to ascertain which of
the above was the most favorable bid, with
power to award the contract.
The mayor called attention to complaints
that saloon near the depot was reported
as disorderly house, whereupon the coun-
Gil instructed the marshal to arrest any of
fender against the ordinance regulating
licenses
The marshal was instructed to vigorous
ly enforce the ordinance regarding the kill
ing of unlicensed dogs.
On motion, adjourned.

A Mexican convict, named Romero, who
had served out about half of two years
sentence, escaped from guard on Monday
He asked permission to leave his work for
a few minutes, and when he had got to the
place where he was to stop, started OFF on
such a run as would put foot racer to the
blush. At the time of his escape Romero
was loading sand, some distance from the
penitentiary, and, as the guard was armed
with a revolver only, his escape was easy.
Search was made day and night, but up to
this time the fugitive has not been recap
tured H-.
