We have in our own little county
evidences of the injury wrought by
the Incorporate language used at the
late silver convention in Denver.
School district No. 3 had nesotia-
ted with an eastern company for the
purchase of their bonds-the pro-
ceeds to be used in the erection of
new school building. The bonds
were issued, executed and forwarded
to the company, but returned with
the explanation that they did not
care to invest in state that adver-
tised itself rs bankrupt, or whose
executive threatened or limited at re-
pudiation.
Some New York men of great wealth
recently secured control of the Amity
ditch. They had decided upon ex=
tensive improvements upon the prop
erty. These changes would have cost
very large sum OF money. and
given many men and teams employ
ment next fall
There is great danger that this
work will be deferred indefinitely, as
will be seen by the letter of their
agent, Mr.. W. j. Hallack, written on
the 18th of the month from New
York and directed to one OF our bus
mess men. Mr.. Hallack says:
"At this distance it looks as if
Colorado was making a great mis-
take in trying to impress the world
that her future is dependant on silver
alone, and that failure of favorable
Legislation will result in financially
wrecling the entire state, 1t is
having its effect on our people and
causing them to hesitate abont any
further expenditure OF money out
there until matters become more
settled"

While the laws governing the col
lection of taxes in this state have
been modified somewhat, they are
still barbarouslv harsh and severe.
Between interest and penalties, the
property of the unfortunate delin-
quent is virtually contiscated. The
rapidity with which delinquent prop
erty is eaten up by laws little short
of infamous. makes the certificate OF
purchase at tax sales very desirable

turns on investments of this kind,
that companies have been formed III
the east who make them exclusively,
and many if not the most of the GER
tifcates of purchase are held out OF
the state. We may in future issue
of this paper give the law governing
redemptions, and also give aa illus
tration of its beauties.

A curious atosj j ,oll of white ele-

kok. The circus Belonged TO an English
man named Wilson. He advertised bold
" IN the sacred city Of Bangkok that he
had real white elephant in his show
His tent was crowded to suffocation, and
sure enough the elephant which ap-
peared was snow white. 1t had been
whitewashed, and the clown made great
fun out Of rubbing himself against il
and bringing the white off on his clothes.
1t is easy to imagine how outraged the
Siamese felt, and European residents
feared that he would be lynched, but
the Siamese loftily remarked that Bud
dha would avenge himself-that man
and elephant were to die, and when the
elephant died at sea a few days after.

al of 'em good poker players, but in bad

two weeks, and the old woman, thinkin
to get rid of 'em, got up at the table the
other mornin and said, Gentlemen, the

keith is goin up, SO I'll have to raise the

Complications In South rlorI /. a,

A good story comes from the Manatee
river A man named Westfield had a
quarrel with his wife, and they decided
to separate, dividing their household
goods between them. Westfield took his
portion of the goods to his boat, but aft
er thinking awhile over the matter de-
cided that his wife had the best of the
bargain, which so enraged him that he
took an ak and went back to the house
and broke up her portion. The woman
swore out warrant for him next day,
and Westfeld dengaged a promising young
attorney of Braidentown to defend him.
After investigating the case the lawyer
decided that his client was in bad box,
so he advised him to make up with his
wife and try to stop the prosecution
This the man succeeded in doing, but
the county authorities refused to let the
matter be dropped. So the lawyer then
advised him to kidnap his wife and baby
and sail to Cinnabel island.
The matter was arranged for the next
night. The woman was escorted to the
boat, where her husband was awaiting
her, by the lawyer and a constable whom
he had nnpage1 to aesist him The lar-
yer and constable then returned to the
house for the baby, bat by mistake they
got another woman's baby, and the mis-
