COLORADO, which has been one Of
the most rampant of the silver states,
is enjoying great prosperity as re-
suit of the great increase in the gold
mining industry. The Denver Re.
publican, q most radical silver organ,
says the state has no failure to record
in it's industries, that the gold mining
camps are all busy, and that the re-
suit is being felt in Denver. This
must be hard news for Bryan, Teller
and their political followers. 4.

AN ADJOURNED HEARING.
People Who Escaped the Assessor
Must Appear Before the B. of e.
Pew People Assessed As Compared
With the Population.

The county 00arQ OF eQudliAdUion
has been spending the greater part OF
Tuesday and Wednesday preparing a
list of. persons holding mortgages and
those who escaped the assessors
These will be notified to appear be-
fore an adjourned meeting of the
board to show cause why they should
not be assessed. The adjourned meet
ing will be held Aug. 10th and 18th,
and possibly the 18th, and about lou
people will be given an opportunity TO
be heard.
The members of the board of equal1-
cation think that it is strange that
less than 600 names appear on the as
SCISSORS book in Mankato, with a popu-
Iation of $4,000, that only tifty-eight
appear on the Lake Crystal returns,
and that only twenty-three appear on
the Good Thunder books, and so on.
The books are being given thorough
overhauling, and the board is showing
itself to be more efficient in this re-
gard than any board for years.
Assessor Lille was summoned be-
fore the board Wednesday and his
books were examined. Many in
stances were shown where well known
citizens are assessed nothing on their
personal property, although known to
have expensive furniture. Mr.. Lille
said that this was his first year at the
work and that he had learned a les
son. Next year he will not be so
lenient, he said. He.had called on some
business men a dozen times to get
them to fill out their blanks, and had
finally had to do it himself. This was
humiliating, as we'll as hard work, on
his part, and showed a disposition to
evade the assessor or a lack Of bust
ness on the part of the people who
had stood him off. He was obliged to
rely largely on his deputies, the work
being new to him.
F. N. Ware, of Amboy, appeared be-
fore the board Tuesday in regard to
the assessment of the Amboy Build
ing and Loan Association. County
Attorney Hughes takes the stand
that there is a grave doubt whether
the stock of these mutual associations
can be assessed against the associa-
tions, as they own no property
beyond their surplus and act
merely as agents for their members
in loaning money. The Mankato
Building & Loan Association has
for several years returned $1,000 as
the amount upon which it ought to
be assessed, whereas it's surplus is
only about $4,000.
Members of the board thought that
the stock ought to be returned by the
individual members of the associa-
tion, as there is place on the asses.
sors' blanks calling for stock other
than bank stock.
The board took action which it is
thought will be satisfactory to the
building and loan associations and
still levy a considerable tax upon
them

ADvICEs from the Red River valley
state that so much rain has fallen
there during the past few days that
crops are icing damaged, and that
wheat which a week ago promised the
largest yield in history will hardly be
half a crop as a result, and in some
localities will be entirely ruined.
The ground was thoroughly soaked
before the last rains came and
farmers are somewhat discouraged
over the outlook.

A BLOW AT FOREIGN TRADE

The discussion in the German reich
stag on the subject of the proposed
changes in the tariff laws of the United
States is interesting to US chiefly in
the intimation which it conveys of the
effect that the Dingley bill will have
upon our foreign trade. Our astute
lawmakers, who are always prattling
about the desirability of extending the
markets for our products abroad, While
they are scheming how to prevent the
nations who buy from us from selling
to us again, may learn easily from this
Just what treatment the products of our
farmers will receive abroad after the
tariff goes into effect. The discussion
proper shows the bitterness of the feel
ing which this has aroused, in that it
was devoted to the question whether
OF not retaliatory duties and other re-
prisals could be put into effect The
objection ito doing this directly is the
