the yield is 30 bushels per acre. Corn
will not be worth more than % cents
per bushel. There is some complaint
about worm depredating on the end

9 o'clock last night quite an excite

announcement that Mr.. b. f. Jacobs
had committed suicide. Mr.. Jacobs
had been drinking heavily recently,
and went home somewhat intoxicated
last evening. He closed himself in a
room and IN few moments pistol
shot was heard, and on examination it
was found that Mr.. Jacobs
had shot himself in the mouth, the bali
ranging upward through the back of
the head, from which he died at once.
Mr.. Jacobs was an industrious man,
past the middle age Of life, and was
generally we'll liked.

COLORADO, City, July l.-[Special.l =
Another heavy rain fell on Saturday
night and Sunday morning, which did
some damage to the railroad bridges
west of here. The country adjacent to
the city reminds one OF the old gran
ger country. The gardens in and
around Colorado City and the expert.
mental farms at Lorraine, east of here,
and Marienfeld, west, prove the falla-
cy of the theory held by great many
that this was only grazing country.
The vegetables raised in Mitchell
County this year have reduced the
price of living very much, and next
year market gardeners expect to raise
enough TO supply the home demand.
This has been the busiest month of
the year with the stock men. Nearly
10000 head Of cattle have been shipped
from the pens of this place in the last
80 days. The range is very fine and all
the cattle are in good condition.
Work is progressing very satisfsc
torily on the waterworks. Pipes are
being laid and an additional well being
bored. Unless some unforeseen acct
dent occurs the works will be IN oper
alton in six weeks.

blind. About one month ago Stephens
had difficulty with some of his ten
ants and shot at one OF them
twice. He was afteward arrested,
waived examination, and was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. He then expressed his fears OF
being murdered. He is little known
in the community. He came from
Dallas County u few years ago and has
lived as recluse.S He was bachelor,
about II years old, not communicative
and supposed to have considerable
money.
The entertainment given last night
