The little daily half-sheet published
in Florence doing injury also to Canon
and other towns" has on two instances
this week published libelous articles
about Canon and the Cripple Creek
railroad management The articles
are moi worthy of the space it would
take to ra-publish them. In the first
place few men in Florence or Canon
wonld believe an assertion in the
Herald, unless they know it to be
absolutely true. These pernicious
attacks only go to show the
spirit of the serpent our people have
been harboring in their homes
II is this same daily that periodically
rises up and with puritanic solennity
announces, Let no jealousy exist be-
tween Canon and Florence" There was
no jealousy when the Herald started
up. For three years not an item has
been published in a Canon paper which
by any stretch Of the imagination
could be construed to reflect upon any
industry in Florence The RECORD
has congratulated our neighbor city
upon each new move-eyery new enter
prise gained. Canon glories in her
growth and our people use the pro-
ducts of her industries. We use Flor
ence oil and Florence ice. and some
drink Florence beer Florence smelt-
ers treat our ores and some Florence
newspapers are patronized almost as
literally in Canon as at home,
We ike Florence, but detest such
green eyed pertidy and low-down jour
nalsm as the Herald has been giving
its readers this week. Too cowardiy TO
make straight assertions. it hides its
authorship Of the lies in paragraphs

know the men not if they soon forget
the rank insult offered them by our
neighbor paper. We suggest that the
Herald retract aud lay the blame for
the article upon the Office boy or local
editor as the best way out of it.

THE following letter to the Repub-
licans needs no comment. Mr.. Lee
is ex.mayor of Denver and prominent
business man: 'llf the newspapers
have reported Senator Teller correctly,
conveying the idea that he is opposed
to the union of the different factions OF
the Republican party in Colorado. l
can no longer follow him. A promi-
nent and responsible leader in the
Democratic party informed me today
that Senator Teller has upon several
occasions Of late said that he was
practically a Democrat aud that no
doubt he would soon be openly atiilist-
ing with that party. If these state
ments are true, what right has Mr..
Teller to BE- giving advice to Republi-
canss also object to the calamity
bowling OF Mr.. Teller. There are so
raxny evidences ofa gradual return to
prosperity that lose confidence in any
man who predicts nothing hut calamity

to sell Them.
When the sheep are sheared it is
good time to select out those to be mar
keted. Under present conditions it is
hardly advisable to keep sheep that do
not produce good fieeces of wool. The
quality must be such as to bring good
prices, and the quantity must be suf-
fcicnt
When a select fiock is kept on a small
farm, nearly or quite all of them should
be good breeding ewes and bring good
lamb every spring in addition to grow
ing good fleece of wool.
Many farmers make "A serious mistake
in failing to feed their stock until they
are in a good marketable condition. In
many cases sheep well fattened for mar

sold in a poor condition. Not only is
more realized on account of the increase
in weight but better price can al
ways be had per pound for good fat
sheep than for poor ones With prop
er management sheep can be fattened
easily and rapidly. but they are easily
cloyed by overfeetiing and require more
care in this respect than almost any
other Kind of stock. Commence feed
ing small quantity OF grain and grad
nally increase until they are given all
that they can eat up clean 1t is not
best TO depend upon corn alone. While
it is one of the best fattening foods. yet
If given to sheep daily as their princi-
pal ration they soon tire of it and will
not thrive as they should.
Amy animal. when fed heavily. should
have good variety. and this is es-
pecially true of the sheep. If kept in
good thrifty condition six weeks feed

poorly wintered longer feeding will be
necessary. While corn can be made the
principal ration. bran. shipstuff. oats.
barley and oil meal should he given to
make up 4 good variety. and in this
way keep the sheep in good appetite.
See that they have all that they will
eat up clean and at the same time are
not overfed.
With old sheep the hest plan of fat
tening is on good farm pasturage,
changing from one place to another
every two or three weeks. 1t Is difficult
10 fatten old sheep on dry feed of any
kind. Fairly good success may he
realized by feeding ground grain, hut
the more economical plan is to depend
upon good pasturage, selling whenever
a good marketable condition is reached.
1t is usually good economy to fatten
and markc, the old sheep during the
spring and early summer rather than to
keep them over.
Always select sufficient number of
youug. vigorous ewes to take the places
of the old ones sold off.-St- Louis Re-

who raises it Ms wheat at $3.50 was

to rejoice over the foreign wheat fam

wECKAGE PASSED AT SEA.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 3.-The bark
Gazelle has arrived here from Para and
Barbados and Capt. Green reported
that last Saturday when $50 miles
south of South Shoal lightship he fell
in with an immense noun of wreck
age, apparently marking the spot
where some large English vessel had
foundered.
The wreckage included a portion of
a vessels deck with knees attached,
main ribs and s~tanchiOns, planking and
pieces of deck houses, besides the side
of a boat upon which was plainly WISH
BILE the word London There was
also about ten packages of pitch pine
deals in the midst of the wreckage, but
no spars or rigging vas in sight.
Judging from the decks and wreckage
passed, it is probable hat the vessel
would carry about p men.

AT THE AFFRIDIs MOSQUE.

Simla, Nov. "a dispatch from
Mastura says that Sir William Lock-
harts' columns are encamped in the
Maiden valley, a hitherto unknown dis
trict, which the Afridis had boosted no
invader could penetrate.
A column has visited the notorious
mosque and grove at Bagn, where the
Afridis rising originals started and
which has been the ctl.tgr Of political
and fanatical intrigue which has ami
mated the outbreaks of the tribesmen.
The mosque was left untouched and
was not entered; but the trees in the
grove were hewed down as a mark Of
punishment and a sign of victory.
The enemy offered the feebIest resis-
lance and was easily dispersed: but
as yet the tribesmen have made no
proposal of peace.

Thinks His Article Will Open Uncle
Sans Eyes.
New York, Nov. ga special to the
World from Madrid says:
Something of a sensation has been
caused in Madrid by the kilograms
from Ameica, epitomizing an article on
written for an American maya
zine by former Minister Taylor.
The Spaniards are particularly an
noyed because Mr.. Taylor has obtain
ed from their own contemporary data
in the daily press, and from u]tterances
of their statesmen at his information
about lack of honesty in the elections
and in the parliamentary government
and about the notorious abuses in
their home administration even at the
capital, his data for the article.
The conclusion Mr.. Taylor draws
from such premises in favor of Amer
lean intervention for the settlement of
the Cuban question. has given much
offense at court and in political cir
Giles because it is deemed calculated to
counterfeit the favorable impression
the Spanish note had made in the high
est circles at Washington, including the
president and his cabinet.
According to kilograms received by
the Madrid press and the official dis
patches from minister Du Puy de
LONE to the cabinet, some Spanish
papers affect to make light of Mr.. Tay-
lor's statements and say that they will
not alter the effects of the Spanish
not, which was skilfully warded of
for the time the action by the Amer
lean government, which was limited at
Minister Woodford's note of September
% and which made out so strong a case
on the grounds of international law
against liberation of flibustering eX-
petitions and against moral and inter.
national assistance being given to the
insurgents from the United States.
The impartial says the Spanish gov
eminent will take steps to 6ounteract
the effect of Mr.. Taylor article on
public opinion and the government in
America.

PERU CABINET RESERVATIONS

Lima, Peru, Nov. &.-(via GalvestOn)
PierOIa has no yet accept
ed the resignation Of the cabinet, which
was recently rendered on account Of
a vote of censure which the congress
proposed to pass upon the government
because of its failure to promulgate
various measures passed by the spec
ial session of congress last year.
The exact reason for the presidents
delay in accepting the resignation has
not yet been made public, but it is
probably due to an accusation brought
against the minister of finance of IL
legally disposing of funds which, under
the law, should nave been applied in
the payment of public Indebtedness.

OHIO DEMOCRATS CLAIM.

Columbus. O., Nov. 3.-The Demo-
cratic state headquarters are being
kept open all night with a force OF
clerks at work on the returns. At
4:30 this morning Chairman McCon-
vile claimed the election of a majority
of the Legislature and would not con-
cede the election of the Republican
state ticket. Others at Democratic
headquarters said the Republican plu-
rality for Bushnell for governor would
not exceed 5000. The Democratic
state committee claims two out of the
twelve members of the Legislature
from C~uyahoga county and that this
alone would wipe out the majority of
two claimed by the Republicans on
Joint ballot. They are watching the
count in all close counties and districts
and claim thai the official count will
show a Democratic majority of nine
Of the Legislature. The Democrats
claim that all of the Republicans on
the fusion ticket at Cincinnati will vote
for Mclean for senator.
