says: " removed here from Iowa in 1874.
AS healthy country, Colorado has proved

The water here in Denver is obtained
from artesian wells, 900 feet deep, which
are numerous in the city, and free from
alkali, mineral faint and vegetable matter;
but in many places the water is impreg-
mated with alkali, and persons not ac-
customed to it are almost certain to be
taken with cramping pains in the stomach,

CASTLE ROCK RIPPLES.

The cattleman laughs as the cattle
grow fat.
CASTLE Rock, June 80.
A good rain at last, though much more
is needed.
Mrs. Earlin is suffering from another
severe attack of asthma.
The rain of last night has materially
frightened our prospects for hay.
Several young men from this vicinity
have gone east to seek work in the har-
vest fields.
Most cattlemen report small calf crop
thus far. This is largely the result of
'sloco'' eating.
This has been a week of showers all
around us. We have had the pleasure OF
watching one or more every day, but our
share Of them has been very small.
The prevailing sentiment hereabouts in
regard to the approaching election OF
county officers seems to be, "When we
have good man, we'd better keep him .
All our neighbors are on the qui 0iUt
for the Fourth. A picnic of the Banner
Sunday school is to be held at Mr.. J. c.
Browns, and a general good time is an
ticipated.
The prolonged drouth was discouragine
to the farmers, but the rain has some.
what revived their hopes. blackberry
creek has not for some weeks been run
ming, and of late the pools have been
drying up.
The past week of extreme heat and nc
rain has about finished the "loco." Near.
ly all of it is, we believe, past recovery
1t can be seen in all shades of yellow and
brown, and slight kick is sufficient tc
detach it from the ground. We are much
in hopes that this scourge is ended.

was suddenly taken worse, when DR..

pain till Tuesday morning, when death
came. She leaves a husband and five

Assignment Of John Roach.

John Roach, OF the firm of John Roach e.
Sons, the famous ship builders, has assign
ed to Geo. w. Quintard and Geo. T.. Weed,
with certain preferences. The failure is as
cribed by some to the refusal of Secretary
Whitney to accept the dispatch boat Dol
phin constructed by direction of the United
States government. He first directs the
payment OF the wages and salaries of his Ia
borers and other employees, as the law pro-
yides shall be done, and names preferred
creditors to the extent Of about $125 900.
One cause OF the assignment is said to be
Mr.. Roach's state Of health. He is suffer-
ing from heart disease, and fatal results
were feared If he continued to worry over
the supervision OF his business His attor
ney says the contract for the three cruisers
will be carried out.
The Herald's New York special gives the
following as Secretary Whitney's reply to a
question as to the probable effect of the
Roach failure upon the government. Sec
rotary Whitney said:
| don't think it will have any effect upon
the government. | am very sorry for Mr..
Roach. | am always sorry when a man
tails into such difficulties, but do not see
that the failure can have any considerable
effect upon the government. The govern
ment has one vessel in his ship yard, and
two at New York, building, but the amounts
are nearly all paid on them. l saw in a
morning paper that Mr.. Roach thinks
am responsible for the trouble, Or at least
| could give relief, but the government owes
only the amount stin due upon the Dol
phin, which would not be enough to put
him upon a sure footing again.

Sixty fifth, OF Montreal, who went east from
Port Hope TO attend the funeral OF
their colonel Williams, whose body
was sent from Battleforl. Boats and
barges, after forty-eight hours on Lake
Winnipeg, arrived at Sellirk this morning,
their coming having been announced by
courier from the mouth Of the Red river.
There was an enthusiastic reception.
Lunch, as they call it, was served under the
trees by the banks of the Red river and
those who preferred milk on account of it's
rarity drank it. The rest dind't and were
not allowed to thirst. After the gorge and
the grandiloquencet the may or of the city pre-
sented to Gen. Middleton and his troops

Crowds filed all the highways and the
byways TEEN with people eager to greet
the boys whose Homecoming has been SO
long and ardently looked for. From the
depot the troops marched up Main
street to a stand erected in front OF
the city hall, and were there addressed
by City Clerk Brown, Premier Norauay anC;
Lieut.. Gov. Aikens, Gen. Middleton and
his brilliant staff werein front OF the stand,
and the general replied to Browns official
welcome. It is understood that sympa-
thizers of Rel in the United States are re-
spending in a generous way to his appeal
for assistance to enable him to have a fair
trial. 1t is difficult now to find any one
who will say that Riel will be hanged. There
is little doubt that sooner or later he will
escape from prison and return to his home
in Montana, where be viii be secure
from extradition.

The IdiUcy of Capital.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, for many years at
torney and now president OF the N. Y. Cen
trail railroad, said recently: lie is very much
puzzled to account for the continued de
preston in business. He says that the only
way that he can account for it is that cap
ital is in idiot. lie says that chere is every
condition for favorable inyes tment, much
beyond anything known in the most flush
period since the war. We have, he thinks
gotten to the end OF our failures. The peo-
Pile who have not been able to meet their
Indebtedness have already soneto the wall.
Those who are in business are in the main
out of debt Every sort Of trade is down
to a hard-pan basis. There are now in
the banks OF New York $3.50, 100000 OF
unemployed capital. OF this, perhaps
$50, 100000 is drawing / per cent. The
rest is drawing nothing. There is prol,a-
bly, twice the amount Of this idle capital in
the outside banks of the country. Why
this capital should be idle is one OF
the mysteries OF finance. There are plenty
Of good investments which are safe and Sc
cure, yet capital to-day hesitates to go into
anything, while in our last flush period there
was nothing too wild or idiotic for money to
rush into. He repeated again that capital
is an idiot, and the investors are governed
more by the condition OF the atmosphere
and OF public feeling than they are by their
own Judgment.

Millions of Acres Opened to Settlers.

The United States Land Commissioner
Sparks has addressed letter to the regis
ter and receiver OF the land office at Walla,
Walla, Wash, which is, in effect, a decision
withdrawing indemnity limits along
nearly every land grant railroad in the
United States. 1t affects not less than 3d.
OOO, 900 acres, las estimated by the land Of
flee authorities. OF these, IL, 900, 900 cres
belong to the Northern Pacific, in whose linn
it's the test case arose. A like amount
is affected along the Atlantic & Pacific, s.
OOO, 900 along the Southern Pacific and g.
100000 along the Texas Pacific. Every
land grant in Minnesota and Dakota is al
fected by the decision. The railroads have
had some income and not little advan-
tage by the maintenance of in
demnity limits, reserving from public
settlement large bodies of land lying
parallel to their grants. The effect was
to compress settlement within the granted
lands, and to enhance their value. At the
same time the Dads have been in the ha bit
of selling their waiver to the indemnity
lands whenever 1. settler wants to settle on
them bad enough to do so. Besides these,
still other advantages were possible in de-
fcrring the section of ''lien" lands, as they
are called. In some cases rich lands have
been held out OF market for twenty-five
years under the claims OF railroads. Obvi-
ously they had increased great deal in
value. The decision made, will compel the
railroads to select their lien lands promptly,
and not allow them to wait and rel ct poor
grades Of land in their grants and select in
lieu of it the best in the indemnity grants.
1t is not unlikely that this action on the
part of the general land office will greatly
stimulate immigration another year.
