Snow or Rain Fell in sar.y Every Part
of Inlnralc.

Denver, Sept. 23.-The cold wave
struck the state Saturday night with
considerable force. 1t was accompan-
led by heavy snow in most parts of
the state. Here at Denver eleven and
one-half inches of SNOW fell and tre-
mendOus amount of damage was done
to trees. In places the sidewalk was
made impossible by the broken
branches.
From all over the state concensus
of the reports show that outside Of Den
yer and its immediate adjoining terri
tory no grave damage was done to
fruit, farm products, fruit trees or
shade trees. The vicinity Of Canon
City escaped almost altogether, and its
rich fruit crop is safe. Around Morri-
son and Golden fruit trees were laid
low on all sides and farm products al
most ruined. The same story comes
from the agricultural and fruit-growing
suburbs and sections. Melons and to-
matoes did not suffer to any appreci-
able extent.
In this particular case Pueblo is the
storm center An area of low pressure
barometer extends from Arizona north
eastward to the Lake region. Fog and
frost are reported from the northwest.
The center Of high pressure Is at Seat
tie, on the Sound, and is rapidly ad
vancing this way by n freezing TEN
perature. The weather Is much cooler
than 1t was over the northern and mid
die slopes Of the Missouri Valley. So
far as this state Is concerned, the storm
is general, either snow or rain prevail
ing, except in the extreme southeast
corner, where the weather seems to be
much better than elsewhere.

DON'T Like waife'a Sermon.

Canton. Ohio, Sept. pa resolution
was introduced in the Methodist confer.
ence here censuring the POpulists for
engaging Ex-Governor Waite Of Colo
RADIO to deliver political speech here
to-day. The governor appeared, but
he postponed his political speech until
tomorrow night.
Instead he delivered a mock sermon
in which he condemned the money
power and criticised the ministers.
Among other things he said: "Christ
drove the money changers out Of the
synagogue. Did any of you ever hear
of Methodist preacher driving the
money sharks out of his fold?" He de-
clared that the money power hung
about the neck of the church as a mill
stone.

DAMAGES FOR LIBEL.
Virginia Paper Brought to Terms by
tho American Book Company.

tho American Book Company.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va, says
''The American Book company of New
York has just gained a signal victory in the
courts Of Virginia and has received an alb
solute and complete vindication after long
and exhaustive trial by special jury in the
Circuit court of this city. The Pilot news
paper of this city, upon the awarding of
the contract for school books to the Amer
lean Book company printed a long article
written and prepared by r. E. Byrd, an
agent and attorney for CHM & Co, Of New
York, in which 1t was charged that the
state superintendent had been bribed by
the American Book company. The Pilot
q five weeks trial, which created an i'm
mense amount Of interest throughout the
state, verdict for punitive damages was
recently awarded, and the jury found that
the statements made were false and
deliberate libel. Not only SO, but the
company, upon unimpeachable evidence,
was proved to have dealt honorably and up
rightly in every particular in their negotia-
tfons with the state officials 1t was furth-
or proved at the trial that no better terms
school books. In fact, the attorney-general
of Virginia stated that the American Book
company seemed to throw open their whole
business to u.s. and after full and complete
examination of all the original contracts
made with the various states he expressed
himself as absolutely satisfied that the
prices were the same in all cases and that
no discrimination whatever had been made
against the state of Virginia. Furthermore
he mentioned that none of the statements
of the American Book company had been
accepted until every one of them had been
absolutely verified by direct reference to
the governors Of some fifteen states, with
whom contracts had been made. This
proved conclusivelyth that the Representations
Of the American Book company were cor
rect in toto. This celebrated case has thus
spect for the American Book company, and
has shown In clear contrast the clean and
business-like methods in which they carry
on their great industry as compared with
misstatemsats by their opponents"-Ohf-

FILTHY Condition of the Chinese Colony At
Atlanta's Show.
Washington, Sept. 20.-The treasury
officials are keeping a close watch on the
200 Chinese recently admitted into this
country at Ogdensburg, N. Y, and now
at Atlanta. Statements have reached
the department that the forty Chinese
women In the party were brought here
for immoral purposes. A letter from a
Baptist clegyman, who came from
China in the same ship with them, says
that their physical condition was such
as necessitated their removal from all
other passengers. He does not doubt
that the women were diseased and sug-
gested that the officials take steps to
ascertain the facts. and If found, as he
suspects, at once deport them.
The department agents at Atlanta
have been advised Of these matters and
Instructed to keep a lookout for evil
dcnces of their having been brought here
Illegally.

An English Naval Critic Points Ont Some
Of His Mistakes.
London, Sept. 21.-The Times gives
prominence to-day to a letter from Adj
miral Fitzgerald, in which the writer
says that Lord Dunraven must expect
that his conduct In the matter of the
Americas cup match races will be Sc
verely criticised, and that it compares
unfavorably with that Of Mr.. Iselin.
His fair minded countrymen, Admiral
Fitzgerald continues, have cause to re-
gret the course Of Lord Dunraven, and
all true lovers of sport must regret that
Mr.. Iselin's generous offer to resail the
second race was declined.
Technically, the admiral says. Lord
Dunraven's refusal to sail on the third
day was right, but the question should
have been treated upon broader
grounds Americans throughout have
shown the true sporting instinct. The
impartial verdict of nautical history,
the letter concludes, will say that Lord
Dunraven has failed to uphold the best
traditions of English yacht racing.

The Hessian Fly.

Owing to the prevalence and de-
structiy eness of the Hessian fly this
year. concerted efforts should be put
forth to prevent n recurrence of Its
ravages upon the next wheat crop. In
ordor to prevent serious attack Of
'the fly" the following measures
should be adopted:
Thoroughly burn all Ily-infested
wheat stubble in which there Is not a
stand of young clover or grass. Pre-
pare very early a border, one or two
rods wide. around each field Of wheat,
and sow the same to wheat in August.
Turn this border under very late,
using jointer, following with roll
and harrow and then SOW the entire
field.
by taking this course, many Of the
insects which escape the fire will be
burned when the early-sown border is
turned under. and late sowing Of
the general crop will avoid earlier
attacks of any remaining "fy."-Farm

Eject. of OIL Meal on Butter.

Linseed oil meal tends to produce a
soft, oily butter and to impair its fla
vor. Cotton seed oil tends to produce
a hard. crumbly butter, and is more
obiectiona BILE even than oil meal in the
matter of favor. Ho ever, limited
quantities of either do not produce
very material damage. but do tend to
considerably Increase the product,
especially when the protein contents
Of the balance of the ration Is low.
The oil meal is an excellent stoma chic
as we'll and seems to promote diges-
ton. It has a mildly laxative effect,
and therefore tends to overcome the
binding effects of dry winter fodder
Cotton seed meal does not act this
way.-IIoard's Dairymap.

IN ASSESSORS.
Queer ContrRs Shown by Returns on
Mining Property.


Denver. Sept. 21.-It has never been
the policy Of the Colorado Legislatures,
says the Republican, to make the mines
Of the state feel the taxes, and on the
contrary liberal attitude toward the
mining industry has invariably been
taken in preparing laws for the assess
ment Of such property. Under the pres
ent law the assessor of each county is
expected to reckon as property subject
to taxation one-fifth the gross value Of
all ore produced by each mine In his
territory.
In the list given below the value Of
improvements is included in the figures
returned by the several assessors with
this 20 per cent. of the gross production
from the mines of the country. A
glance at it will show that there have
been some very careless assessors in
the state of Colorado this year.

Rive for Pnnture.

We have had a high appreciation of

also found rye quite the most desira-

In time for a corn crop. One other
point in favor of rye is that it will lie

out much injury, growing readily
when the conditions become favorable
The value of green food in the late
fall and early winter Is very great.
One strong argument in favor of en-
silaSe is that this more closely resem-
bles the succulent food of summer
than any other of the common articles
of stock food. Many farmers will find
no other so cheap and easy mode of
securing green food as by sowing rye
as early as may be this fall. Where
corn has been cut for feeding or where
early varieties are cut for ensilage or
dry fodder. the ground may he sown
to rye with comparatively little pre-
Daration, although, of course. 1t should
be in good condition. These pIans.
however. would usually prevent the
sowing of rye as early as is desirable.
Flowing stubble ground or using land
that has produced crop of early pota-
tees will be advisable in many cases.
