A Cutting Announcement to the Arm.
by Gen. Miles.

ny ten. Miles.
Major General Miles has issued the fol-
Lowing general order to the army in regard
to the case of Captain Lowering, convicted
of ill-treating Private Hammond:
by order of the President the proceed
ings findings and sentence in the case of
Capt Leonard A. Lowering. 4th Infantry,
are approved. 1t is, however, disappoint-
ing that an offense SO grave, and as an ex-
ample so far-reaching as this, should have
been visited with so light penalty. There
is no question that Private Hammond de-
served punishment for his conduct, but he
should have received 1t in lawful way.
The military laws governing the army are
explicit. They prescribe the duties Of Off
GERS and enlisted men. with the penalties
for their violation. Under them both have
rights and obligations When, therefore, an
officer, with the intelligence and experience
with which Captain Lowering is credited,
not only violates these laws, but exhibits
such a lack of humanity as is shown in
this case, he should receive a more severe
sentence than mere reprtmand. Commit
ting such acts degrades the officer more
than the soldier he Furnishes and shows
unfftness for the care and commanded men.
Under excitement men frequently do things
which in cooler moments they recall with
sorrow and regret; but this case Is aggra-
waited by the fact that after weeks Of de-
liberation this officer evinces no regret for
his wrongful acts"
The next movement IN the case will prob
ably be the trial by oourt-martial of Private
Hammond on charges Of insubordiEation,
fragrant disobedence of orders and deser-
ton, conviction on either of which charge
will result in his dishonorable discharge
from the army.

if taxes are raised. The law will
not permit a county unduly in

nearly one sixth OF the total.

be raised by the majority IT taxes

Fox Week Ending last Moaday.
The weather conditions of the
past week have been favorable to
late crops on irrigated lands. Corn
Is filling we'll in the Arkansas
valley; it is now beyond danger
from frost in the north central
section; good crop il reported
from Boulder county; and in the
vicinity of Loveland it is the best
ever raised. On the uplands Of
Logan county, where there has
been very little ram the past three
weeks, corn Is drying rapidly
nevertheless . large crop will be
gathered; cutting is in progress
along the divide and in portions
Of the Arkansas valley. Potatoes
are doing we'll; the quality of the
crop will MAINTAIN the high stand
ard for which Colorado Is justly
noted. Near Greeley the damage
by blight proves to be slight; the
crop is above the average In Delta
county; an average crop is being
dug near Loveland, but In the
vicinity of Castle Rock the crop
will be light, which is also true OF
the Wet Mountain valley. The
cutting Of wheat and oats IS now
completed in the south central
section aud the San LUIS Park;
stacking and thrashing is now un-
der way. Flowing has been de-
layed in localities by the dryness
of the soil, but seeding has made
good progress Oh the western
slope and IN the Arkansas valley;
a large acreage being devoted to
fall wheat In the latter section.
Fruits are abundant and of excel
lent quality; large shipments con
tinue. In the vicinity OF Canon
City the second crop of strawber-
ries Is ON the market; the berries 8
are large and finely favored but
the crop is not large. Picking of
aprles,; pears, piums and grapes is
in progress.
