AN ELECTRIC STORM.
Boulder and Vicinity is Visited by a Deluge
of Water.

| OIL water.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, the storm clouds began to
| downpours of rain witnessed in years
visited Boulder and vicinity. The storm
came from the west and was preceded
by rise of Boulder creek, and by 6:3o
the little river gave promise OF demon
stration similar to the one in 1894. The
rainfall as measured by Frank Gifin of
the meteorological department for Boul.
der was I;2o inches between and 7
o'clock and 2.o3 inches between arc II.
A fair idea of the volume of water that
fell may be gained when it is known that
the average rainfall of this section for
year is IS inches.
Accompanying the rain was violent
electric storm that continued for over an
hour. Some damage was done in
couple of places in Boulder by the light
ming. The residence of President Baker
on university campus was struck at the
northeast corner and the chimney was
demolished and the roof burned. Mrs.
Baker and the children were alone in the
house at the time, but beyond severe
fright no one was hurt. Some of the ap-
paratus in the electric light works was
burned out so that some of the patrons
of the firm remained in darkness.
Boulder creek was on a tear as re-
suit of the heavy rain and at one time
fears were entertained by the residents
of the low lying lands that a flood was
imminent. Theapproachesto the bridges
at Ninth and Seventeenth streets and
the two Arapahoe street bridges near
Twelfth street and near Sternberg's farm
were washed away early in thc evening
and no one was allowed to cros5. The
railroad bridge at Twelfth proved a
splendid catch all for the r 5blsh and
logs and by 7 o'clock the fu 'rce of
the stream began to be divci {. upon
the north bank. A force of fnt' as put
to work to clear away the dchZis and
channel was finally cut through. The
planked piling at Twelfth was ;naily un-
dermined but no serious damage was
done.

only such articles as uuderclothing,
suspenders, trousers and han dker-
chiefs about which there could be
any difficulty. Now that the occa-
sion has arisen whereby the identity
OF goods may be found necessary hr
any American citizen, we are quite
sure that our retail stores will see
to it that all goods which they sell
are suitably marked. This should
the more readily be done because it
is the aim of the Dingley law to in
crease the business of American
stores and 10 check the free importa-
tion CT foreign goods.
Thus we come down to the facts
that American citizens who go
abroad are not compelled to pay
duty upon their personal effects
which they take with them from this
country; nor are they compelled
even to paw duty upon all the for
eign goods that they buy abroad and
bring back with them. They are ac-
coraed the privilege of importing
one hundred dollars worth of for
eign goods free of duty. This is a
privilege that is not granted to those
Americans who stay at home. The
wholesale importer CT foreign goods
is compelled to pay duty upon every
dollars worth of his goods. He has
no hundred dollar limit free from
customs duties. Yet the American
who travels has the advantage over
the business man to that extent.
Our retail storekeepels are equally
handicapped. The American travel
er can buy a hundred dollars worth
of clothes or jewelry abroad, and
bring it here without paying any
duty. 1t is only upon his purchases
IN ercess Of one hundred doliorS
that au American is asked to contrl-
butte to the National revenue.
If there be any fault with the per
sonal effects clause of the DiIgley
Tariff it consists in the hundred dol
lar limit. There should be no limit
whatever. All foreign goods pur-
chased abroad by our citizens should
be subject to duty just as fairly and
rightfully as are all foreign goods
tina. are imported for sale. When
the American tourist does his shop
ping abroad he decreases the sales
of the American importer and of the
retailer. He also decreas-
es the demand for the American Ia
bcr that handles more goods in our
stores and that makes up the for
eign piece goods. There should not
be dollar limit even. Let the
bring back what he took
with him. Let him also pay his just
share of customs duties on all that
he buys, Just as every other Ameri-
can citizen will do, who stays at home
if his fancy leads him to purchase for
iegn rather than American goods.

To TEACHERS AND PURposEFUL PEo-
PIE THAT faint little tap on your

sound as ominous as the tolling of
death-knell. 1t will conJure up
the pleasures Of the weeks of rest.
and then they will all vanish under a
luried cloud out of whose gray body
will peep visions o: the children who
insist on being stupid when the su-
perintendent appears, or who are
triumphantly mischieycus when your
back is turned and strangely angelic
when you wheel round to detect
them. Really, there is little wonder
if your heart sinks within you, us
you remember that to keep up the
standard of the school you will need
to be alert, not once week, but
every hour in every day. can quite
understand a feeling akin to nausea,
when the familiar backs of the old
familiar books tell you that, this
year as last, you will have to go over
the self-same simple lessons to a
new set of simple listeners. Then.
if you are a woman little feeling of
angry protest will arise; for you
know full we'll that the average
man of your town, however free he
feels to point out your defects,
would prefer a week of the hardest
toll to one day of attempting the
control of twenty of your spirits !;
and, if you are male teacher, criti-
cised for your severe discipline, you
need no telling that no mother out
of captious ten would be able to
govern such heaped- together fam
lily except by free and indiscriminate
slappings.
Altogether you feel little gloomy
as the duties begin to burden your
shoulders again.

But do not undo tho good of your
vacation by fretting and fuming. To
certain extent the laborious char
acter of your work is recompensed,
in that your rest time is longer and
your hours of labor shorter than is
vouchsafed to the general run of
brain-workers. Take courage from
that, and stand up to duty in your
chosen sphere as bravely as your ia.

Let the Law Be Enforced.

697. Wearing apparel, articles of
and similar personal effects of per-
sons arriving in the United States !;
but this exception shall only include
such articles as actually accompany
and are in the use of, and as are nee
essary and appropriate for the wear
and use of such persons, for the i'm
mediate purposes of the journey and
present comfort and convenience,
and shall not be held to apply to
merchandise or articles intended for
other purposes or for sale: PRO.
cided, That in case of residents OF
the United States returning from
abroad, all wearing apparel and 9TH
er personal effects taken by them out
of the United States to foreign coun-
tries shall be admitted free of duty,
without regard to their value, upon
their identity being established, un-
der appropriate rules and regula-
tons to be prescribed by the SecreA
tary of the Treasury, bat no. more
than one hundred dollars in value of
articles purchased abroad by such
residents of the United States shall
be admitted free of duty upon their
return.
The above paragraph is numbered
G97 in the free list of the Dingley
Tariff.
The Free Trade papers have, in
tentionally or otherwise. endeavored
to create the impression that all for
eiguers and strangers who may tenn
porarlly visit the United States are
compelled to pay duty upon all the
clothing they bring with them which
exceeds 500 in Salue Such is not
the case. The law places no limit
upon the value of their personal eff
fects. At the same time, however,
if it were evident that our visitors
brought IL superabundance of cloth
ing, and sople that was either too
large or too small for the passenger
bringing it to wear, it would only be
proper that he should be assessed
thereon, as he would manifestly be
guilty of an attempt to smuggle
goods into this country for the
benefit of friends or relatives. In
the same way, Il strangers jewelry
should be taxable if it were found to
be perfectly new, or suspiciously en-
cessiye in quantity. The Dingley
bill, however, does not tax the per-
sonal effects of any visitor to the
United States who merely brings
with him the ordinary effects to
which his station in life would en-
title him.
The Lext point to be discussed
concerns the responsibilities of our
own citizens. The Free trade pa
pers here also endeavor to create a
wrong impression. They have stat
ed, time and again, that every Amer
ican-whether male or femaie-who
has been abroad, must pay customs
duties upon all his personal effects
that exceed 800 in value. This again
is untrue. Any American citizen can
bring back to this country whatever
personal effects he took from here
without regard to their value, upon
their identity being established. 1t
should certainly not be difficult to
establish the identity of ones own
goods. Nearly every mans hat.
coat, collars, cuffs, shirts, shoes,
socks and neckties bear the stamp
of the maker or the store from which
they are purchased; hence proof is
easy that they were taken out of
this country originally, and there
fore are not liable to the payment of
duty upon their return. This leaves
