land what varieties are the most mar
ketable. Fruit culture is no infant in
dustry here. All that is reeded is a
steady revival Of the business and dill
gent attention to it when started
again
In the Grand Valley. Colorado, near
Grand Junction, splendid results have
followed the systematic culture of
fruit The following statements of its
progress in that neighborhood are
taken from the Horticulturist, pub
lished quarterly at that place Utah or
chaiuists should take notice:
First, we clip the report of Mr.. N.
L. Linell, of his first fruit crop for
1898. He says:
From 40 peach tress picked 400 box
es, OF which 300 were shipped to Dem
yer and Colorado Springs, netting me
ABOUT sixty cents per box; the rest were
SOLO al the orchard; culls sold readily
at ~ cents per pound, the demand be-
ing greater than the supply.
from % apple trees, 5. 6 and Z years
old, | picked 5000 pounds of fruit One
eicS yieiued oUO pounds alone; another
Tree, . years old, 4 inches in diameter,
4oG pounds. Fall apples and windfalls
sold for cents; winter apples, . cents
per pound; all sold in the local market.
mol single wormy apple could be
found in the orchard.
MY orchard is situated ten miles west
OF Grand Junction. in the great alfalfa
growing region of the valley.
This is a statement made by Mr.. VIII
liam Bomgardner, giving total receipts
from his 16-acre orchard for the season
OF 1888. A large proportion of his trees
being too young to bear, the signif-
canoe of the appended statement is the
more strikinu.

The small fruits were ali grown on
the same land with the trees, and in
addition | raised 1900 pounds of peas
1000 pounds of rhubarb, lettuce, onions
and raddshes. Currants were marketed
lin Denver at So. to So per case Cher
rIes brought in the same market 10 to
10 cents per pound. Peaches were sold
all over the state and averaged so cents
per box; great many selected and
choice boxes were sold in Grand juno
ton for sample shipments al $3.50 per
box. The apples netted me cents per

The other fruits sold proportionately as
well.
This estimate does not include what
was sold, canned and dried at the or
chard, which in peaches alone amount
ed to 400 boxes at least.
This represents lots of hard work and
care. and the employment of six or
seven hands berry pickers and help,
during the summer season.
We may come nearer home and point
to the results achieved in Grand coun-
ty, Utah, particulars of which have ap-
peared in The Herald, and which show
that equally good results accrue in our
own territory when the business is fol-
lowed on business principles.
Now, is it not time that our farmers
and orchardists should wake UP to the
importance of a revival Of the fruit in
dustry? Is there any better time
than now to take hold OF it? Shall not
a determined and united effort be made
to trim up. clean up, renew our tress
and plant new varieties? There is an
!ample supply from our home nurseries
and we need not send money away for
trees and plants not acclimated, but
can obtain them here and be almost
sure of their success with proper care
and diligence. The Herald speaks for
a renewal of fruit growing in Utah.

President Cleveland on the Financial Situ-
atioD-Much Better ON Than a Year Ago,
When the Balance OF Trade, Now In Our
Favor, WAS Against Us-Thc Patriotic Ac-
tion of the Banks Commended.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The presi-
dent in speaking of the financial stu
alton said:
''The offer of certain New York
banks to replace from their vaults
gold drawn from the government
treasury for shipment abroad, is GER
tainly thoughtful and patriotic. 1t
not only tends to maintain the treas
ury's gold reserve in good condition,
but it adds to the stock of popular
confidence which is at all times i'm
portant.
'The elements which make up our
actual situation do not Justify any ap-
prehensions, and the administration
still adheres to its pledge and deter
mination TO protect our national credit
at all hazards and keep the quality of
our money equal with the best, so far
as the limits of executive power per-
nit.
"Of course croaking and the spread
of disquieting tales is calculated to in
jure the strongest financial conditions
| assume, however. that there is too
much patriotism among our people and
too much familiarity with our re-
sources and capabilities to permit our
reserved force and financial vigor to be
discrcdited
"When the last government bonds
were issued to replenish our stock of
gold it was nearly as low as now,
while outside of our gold we had as
available money to pay the ordinary
| expenses of government only about
$40, 900, 900. We have now, besides our
gold and in money applicable to gov
ernment expenses, more than S53,-
| 600. 900.
Il understand that it is charged in
certain quarters that the payment OF
matured obligations is postponed to
the amount of $50, 900, 600 or S75, 900, 900.
This is not true. We are paying as we
so in the usual way.
Last year, up to June /, the balance
against us arising from the export and
imports of merchandise, excluding
| gold and silver, was S64, ,5j2 ,046. The
balance in our favor, same period o.
this year, was S62, 900, ,562, represent
ing a change in our favol
of Sl27,5l2,60s. These conditions
taken in connection with the
willingness of our banks t.
help the treasury during any tempo
rary and unusual drain of gold ough
to satisfy the most conservative of oul
safety, 1t must not be forgotten as
another favorable feature in the situa
ton that we are no longer purchasing
silver and issuing gold obligations il
payment therefor.

TAR AND FEATHERS.

Terrible Outrage Committed Upon AdIt-
Gen. Tarsney Of Colorado kidnapped
From "A Colorado Springs Hotel, Carried
Out Upon the Prairie, Stripped and
Given Coat Of Tar and Feathers
Warned Against Returning to Colorado
Springs.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, June "a
Probab bly, the most glaring outrage con-
nected with the recent trouble at Grip
pie Creek was committed shortly after
midnight. Adjt. Gen. Tarsney of the
Colorado state national guard, who was
stopping at the Alamo hotel, was called
from his room shortly after midnight
and informed that some party at Grip
pie Creek wished to speak to him over
the telephone. When Gen. Tarsney
appeared behind the clerks desk to an
swer the alleged call he was suddenly
CONFRONTED BY A MASKED MAN,
armed with two revolvers, who re-
quested him to accompany him. The
hotel clerk in the meantime had been
placed under guard of the kidnapers.
Tarsney Immediately called for help
and was as quickly clubbed into sub
mission with a revolver and almost in
stantly several more Of the kidnapers
appeared and carried him to the side
walk, where two closed carriages un-
der guard were in waiting. The EN-
barkationl
WAS THE WORK OF ONLY MOMENT
and then ensued wild ride east on
Cucharras and north on Weber streets,
then east to Austin bluffs at the city
limits. On each of the drivers boxes
sat one of the mob with drawn re-
volver who saw that the hack drivers
promptly obeyed orders Arriving on
the open prairie at Austin bluffs, Gen.
Tarsney was removed from the car
riage and stripped nude and
COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS
was administered. The ringleader OF
the kidnapers had previously given or
ders that Tarsney was not to be abused.
This order seems to have been obeyed
after the general was subdued by club
bing at the hotel After tar and
feathering Gen. Tarsney the mob
warned him against returning to the
springs. While the mob were at the
hotel Police Officer Agard
HEARD THE CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE
and while on the way to render aid
was stopped by another member of the
tarring party and compelled at the
point of revolver to halt until the
balance of the mob had secured theil
man. In less than ten minutes after
the hacks had departed, three mounted
police started in hot pursuit of the alb
ductors One of these officers
WHO STRUCK TIE RIGHT TRAIL
and came up with the mob, and had thu
pleasure of looking down the muzzl'
of villainous gun and ordered to sur
render, which he promptly did, and wa
an involuntary witness of the bastard
ly outrage.

Miscellaneous.

A proposition has been made to large
land owners in Yalobusha county to 10
late large colony of Germans on their
lands if the proper encouragement is
given them. 1t has been 4 long cherished
hope of the people in that section to in
duce good class of skilled farmers to
come in and buy homes and become good
useful citizens. Many efforts have been
made with this end in view, but up to this
time they have been in vain. They are
much pleased with the county, and are
willing to induce their friends and rela-
tives to make their home in Mississippi
First-class farming lands can be had in
Yalobusha county for S. an acre. and
plenty of time will be given in which to
make payment. Comfortable homes will
be built for the accommodation of the
colony, and everything will be done to
make them comfortable and contented.
W. ]. Cowart, the defaulting tax col
iector of Marion county, was placed in
the penitentiary last week. Cowart was
given sentence of three years. His case
in many respects was peculiar 1t will
be remembered that he disappeared from
home in 1891. Up to the time of his de-
parture he had always borne good rep
utation, but for several months had been
drinking excessively. For long time his
friends believed he was off having
good time, and that he would soon put in
an appearance. His continued absence,
however, led to an investigation, which
showed him behind about $1,000. about
81 900 of the amount being due the State
and the balance to the county. leaving a
defalcation with the county in amount
a little in excess of $1,000.
Good rains have fallen in nearly every
section of Washington and Sunflower
counties during the past week, and in con-
sequence the crops have been greatly
improved. The cotton crop now promises
well, generally. Much of the corn. how.
ever. had been so badly damaged by the
long drouth that it is irreparably dam
aged.
Rains and warmth have greatly i'm
proved the condition of cotton through
out the entire State. The plant continues
quite small, especially in old lands. and
was beginning to look yellow prior to
the rains. Lice seems to have been de-
stroyed by the warm weather.

THE TAYLOR BROTHERS,
Charged with the Murder OF the Meeks
Family. Near Browning, Mo-, Captured at
Batesyille, Ark.


Family. Near Browning, Mo-, Captured at
Batesville, Ark.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, June 26.-Wm. y.
and George Taylor, the two brothers
charged with the murder of the Meeks
family near browning, No., May 10,
We're captured yesterday morning at
Batesville, this state, by Deputy Sheriff
J. c. Stout, of Baxter, and brought to
this city, arriving at noon.
The men admit their identity, and
say that the only reason they have not
surrendered was fear of lynching.
They declare their innocence and say
they will establish it if given fair
trial. They will return to Missouri
without requisition. Their captor will
receive the $1,000 reward offered for
their capture,
The victims were Gus Meeks. his
wife and two little daughters aged 4
and . years respectively. The third
daughter, years of age, survived her
terrible wounds, and through her the
awful story reached the public. She
recognized the murderers as the Tay.
lor brothers, whom she knew famili-
arly.
Meeks had been witness in Grim
inal suit against the Taylors, and the
case was still pending. 1t is thought
this was the motive for the commission
of the crime.
One of the alleged murderers is a
wealthy farmer and the other a stock
holder and cashier of bank at Brown
ing. For over month posse of 100
men have been searching the noun
tains of southwestern Missouri for the
fugitives.

WALL STREET is WAITING
To See What Effect the New Tariff Bill
Will Have Upon Business.

VIII Have Upon Business.
New YORK, June 26.-Henry Clews
weekly circular says: We are now
within comparatively few days of the
final enactment of the new tariff bill
BY the LIST of August, its provisions are
likely to be in operation: and the anx-
ious problem of its effects will then
enter the process of solution. 1t can
hardly be said that Wall street shows
any deep interest in the approaching
event. 1t is not basing any present OPP
erations upon it; it is not discounting
it as either bull or a ''bear" element.
1t does not deny that it must have
future effects, but it regards those re-
suits as SO contingent upon conditions
independent of the tariff that they
hardly afford material for speculation,
much less for careful investment. 1t
is conceded that the new act will re.
move the ostensibie reason for sus
pense which has so long kept busi-
ness stagnant. Wall streets attitude
at the moment is waiting one, so as
to see how things will drift when the
new conditions take effect.

Bailiff Morgan had allowed all the

MORTAlLY WOUNDED.
A West Virginia Affair That May Lead to
Serious Consequences.

GALLIpoLIs, o., June o6.-James Mil
Ter was shot through the head and
mortally wounded by Bert Hopkins
Sunday The trouble occurred near
Crab Creek. in Mason county. w. Va.
Hopkins was provoked at Miller be.
cause he divulged the names of gang
of thieves over there, which almost re-
suited in triple lynching. Sunday
night fifty farmers organized for the
purpose of lynching Hopkins, but he
could not be found. They then notified
the negroes living along the creek to
leave the country by Monday night.
In case any fail to leave they will be
hanged to the nearest tree by the angry
mob. Bob Haines, who held Miller
while Hopkins shot him, was put in
Jail here Sunday night.
