The Next Census.

Robert P. Porter, superintendent OF
the ceusus, in speaking Of the work says:
.'At this t:z:e ten years ago the supervis-
ors of the census had not yet been appoint
cd and confirmed. Now, all of the LIS have
been appointed and have received their in
structions. They should be ready to begin
work by July lst. This is by no means q
reflection on Mr.. Walker, because in Civ
ing out this work we have the benefit Of
his experiepce.
"By June 30th the preliminary work will
ing the statistics, of which there are 26,-
Ooo, 600. are about ready for use and are
stored in Washington.
1--WE will be able TO announce the totals
very quickly after the statistics have been
obtained. If the supervisors do their duty
well the population can be given out by
August lst. They must subdivide their
districts and appoint their enumerators
and if the men appointed follow instruc-
tions this will be the quickest ceusns
taken.
1--WE have electrical cnnumerating ma
chimes which do as much work in five
hours as was formerly done in hfty-hve
hours. The machines do their work on
the basis of l0,ooo, 600 names and think
that within twenty days of the receipt of
the last schedule an estimate of totals can
be given. BY the time that the schedules
begin to come in GOO clerks will be en-
ployed in Washington. The system of
tabulating is such a perfect one that do
not look for trouble from that direction.
1.-THE farm, home and mortgage statistics
are new branches, especially created by
Congress. Within week l will have
hundreds Of agents at work in every
county, searching the records of the last
ten years for statistics of farm and home
property and mortgage Indebtedness. In
side of ninety days the census agents will
aave gone through the recorders books of
avery county in every State in the Union"

The new Congregational church at New

handsome structure. The land has been
donated by the Colorado Land and I'm
provement Company for this purpose. The

Bishop Matt has offered Judge Thomas
Macon of Canon City SIS, 900 for his resi-
dence and an acre and half of land. Mr..
Macon has until Wednesday in which to

his property east of Ninth Street. If the
Bishop secures the property it will be for
the purpose of converting it into Catho-
lie Academy for young ladies.

RYE WITHOUT IRRIGATION.

Carson Appeal: Last Summer the
writer had a field Of rye six feet high
that grew without any artificial irriga.
ton. II cut three tons to the acre and
its value as q strong feed for stock in
Winter is unquestionable. Last Fall
he sowed wheat and rye in the same
field to experiment on their relative
growing qualities. The result salts
hes him that rye Is three to one
better and surer crop than wheat with
out irrigation. ANY one who will visit
his ranch will be satified on this point.
The wheat is stunted and heading
out when not over eighteen inches
high, while the rye is nearly five feet
high, stooling well, and still growing.
The soil Of the land where the grain
Is planted is not uniform, but the rye
seems able to do we'll almost any
where, hourishing almost as we'll on
bad soil as on good. The result OF the
experiment convinces the writer that
rye will produce between two and
three tons to the acre on almost any
kind OF land IN this State, and even
better on good land, without irrigation
II cut in the blossom before the berry
gets the milk it produces hay al
most equal to alfalfa and for horses
even better. II eattlemen will clear
their sagebrush land and plant plenty
oil rye they can keep their stock in
good condition during the bad
months.

sepnratIng Gold.

Mr.. Molloy, NJ. r., has patented a
new process Of separating gold from
quartz by the use of mercury and
electricity, by which 20 per cent Of the
precious metal can be saved instead
OF so per cent by the old methods
His apparatus consists Of an iron disc
spinning on the surface OF saucerful
OF mercury In the middle OF the disc
there is an iron hopper, through which
a stream Of water and the ore, which
is previously crushed fine, descend
upon the mercury. BY the centrifugal
force developed by the disc. the ore
is driven from the center OF the disc,
which keeps it pressed against the sur
face OF the mercury. To prevent any
waste Of metal solution OF salts is
placed in connection with the mercury.
This solution is connected with the
positive pole OF dynamo and the
mercury with the negative. The
solution is thereby constantly decom-
posed, liberatlng oxygen and supply
ing hydrogen to the mercury, which is
thus kept "quick." The solution is
cheap and the apparatus. with a
capacity OF ten tons per day, weighs
only 500 pounds.

STKEETEH INCEsT tASE.
uis Now Claimed That the Old
Man 10 Innocent.

There is now confined in the State
Prison, says the Carson Appeal, a
man named Streeter who was SEN
fenced to twenty years imprisonment
for the crime OF incest.
He was sent from Elko county, and
at the time Of the trial the feeling in
that county was very bitter against
him.
Since the trial facts have come to
light which tend to prove his inno-
cence and an effort is being made to
secure his pardon. The principal wit
ness against him was his daughter,
who swore that he was the father Of
her child. 1t is now alleged that he
was the victim OF conspiracy put up
by his two daughters and a young
man who was paying attention to one
Of them.
Streeter is worth nearly Sl00, 900 and
very close in money matters. IL is
claimed by his friends that his two
daughters got an idea that in his will
he had made no provision for them
and they we're determined 20 force him
10 do so. He states that when he was
first charged with the crime, the man
who was paying attention to his
daughter came and offered for 5000
to swear that the prospective child
was his.
He declined to pay any money as he
felt that he was innocent. Then his
other daughter sided with the first and
swore against him.
His wife, a young woman, sided
with her husband and refused to be-
lieve in his guilt. He was so certain
Of his ability to prove his innocence
that he refused to retain lawyer.
Since his incarceration the man
whom he alleges made him the offer
to swear to the paternity of the child
for s., 900 married the mother OF the
child and the two have gone East.
II would hardly seem that such
marriage would have taken place il
the husband considered the charges
against his father-in-law true.
Another curious feature of the af-
fair is that he really made ample pro-
visions for both his daughters in his
will, but after that action he revoked
it and made a new one, cutting them
off with nothing.

A Strange Legend.

Denver Republican: A strange
legend comes to US from the Sioux,
who alone can tell the true history Of
that deadly ambuscade. They say
that on the hillock where Custer fell
now grows a plant never seen there
Deiore-a curious plant With tall, slen-
der leaves, curved in the exact form of
a saber, with edges SO sharp as to in
met keen wounds upon the unwary
hands, and those who pluck it once
soon drop it, so strangely cold and
ciammy are its leaves. 1t bears a
golden-hued, heart-shaped blossom,
and in the center is one small spot Of
brilliant red, like a drop of blood.
Inc Indians regard it with super
stltlous awe; They call it "Custer's
heart, and cannot be induced to
touch It. claiming that the blossom
crushed in the hand leaves a blood
red stain impossible to remove.

NO COFFEE LIKE MOTHERS.

THE day after she went away for weeks
real rest-without the children-the usual
complaints arose at the table. All the children
declared that there was something wrong with
the coffee-it wasn't like the coffee that
mother made. They asserted this at breakfast
and reiterated it at supper. and Miss Ethel.
who was playing matron, in vain tried to
smother the rebellion. There was grumbling
at other things, but nothing SO energetic as the
kick at the coffee. And the outcry continued
all the week the mistress of the house was ab-
sent
When she got back one of the first things she
heard of was the daily coffee riot. You can
imagine how grateful it was to her maternal
ears to hear her eldest buy say emphatically:
We've not had decent cup of coffee since
you've been gone mammal A mother never
outgrows susceptibility to such fiattery, and
when this one hurried downstairs to oversee
the preparation of breakfast the next morning
she was intent upon out-doing herself as con-
cocter of Delicious coffee.
The children struggled in, paterfamilias last
as usual, and the coffee pot emitted wreath
of steam from its spout. Mater-familias put
cream and sugar in her eldest boys cup first
he had burned more incense than the rest in
hired girl spoke to her, and she filled the cup
before her and passed it mechanically down
the table with eyes averted. Then came roar
of laughter, and the favored son exclaimed:
why, mamma, you have forgotten the coffeer'
So she had. The coffee-pot contained hot
water straight.
