Colorado is Booming.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 4, 1900. Business is
picking up here very rapidly. 1t is now al
most impossible to procure houses to rent at
any reasonable price, and new buildings are
going up in every part of the city. The sill
yer craze is fast dying out and people are
settling down to business. Cripple Creek is
now large city, producing through the dis
trct more gold daily than any other gold
camp; and even old Leadville is fast coming
to the front again and is still wonderful
camp, producing plenty of mineral. In
fact, there is more mineral being produced
in Colorado than can be handled, and more
mills and smelters must be put up to take
care OF the output.
We are having a most charming winter !;
very little snow and no cold weather yet.

Ice Crop Cut Short.

RICHMOND, Me, Feb. II. The weather for
the past week has been anything but favor
able to the ice operators on the Kenne bee
river and the result will be that the cut will
fall fully 100000 tons short of the estimate
given one week ago, and the cost Of harvest.
ing the ice will be $4,000 greater than had
the storm of the past week not occurred
However, the icemen along the river are
all feeling we'll and say that while the cost
will be increased quite largely the ice will be
of better quality than if cut week ago.
While little work has been done yet many
of the operators made small beginning on
Saturday and some ice was run into the
houses, but the real work will begin on Mon.
day morning and nothing to hinder the oper.
ations there will be large amount of ice
housed along the banks of the Kennebec
river.
The American ice company has decided
not to build any more houses this winter, as
the weather OF the past week would cut the
ice crop short just about the amount Of the
capacity Of the proposed houses.

Meeting of the School Committee.

The regular meeting of the School Com
mittee, adjourned from the evening of Jan.
29th, was held in the afternoon Feb 8th.
Mayor Poor, chairman ex-oficio, presided.
Superintendent Brick made brief report,
verbal except as to finances. The Superin-
tendent advised procuring steam whistle
of different tone from any now in use in
the city, and arranging with one of the fac
tories to use it as storm signal. The Board
Landing schoolhouse was reported as NOV.
ing on its foundation and the walls getting
out of perpendicular. In his financial re-
port Mr.. Brick made comparison betw cen
the expenses of 1898 and 1899. The former
years reports were from March /, 1898, to
Feb 1, 1899, II months; tie latter from Feb
1, 1899 to Feb. /, 1900, 12 months. This makes
the school reports correspond in date
with the city treasurer's report, and avoids
some seeming discrepancies which have
been noticed in former reports, when the
one was from March to March, and the
other from February to February.

Omaha. Nov. 0.-Complctc returns
from two.thirds OF the counties In Ne
braSkn and scattering returns from
the balance show Mckinley has car
ricd Nebraska by II plurality of ut least
5000
Both sides are still claiming the state
ticket and the legislature.
The Legislature will likely be decided
by Douglas county, in which ii will
take the official count to determine
the vote.
In Douglas county the count is close
and charges of fraud are made by the
Democrats. The Republicans claim to
and six out of nine representatives
while the Democrats claim two sena
tors and all of the representatives.
The Bee says: "ltcturns from all but
ten OF the 30 counties in the state show
the Republican electors have major
ity of Sob The missing counties
four years ago gave Bryan plurality
of l.763 and if they give correspond
ing verdict this year the Republican
plurality will be 6.796. The Bee feels
justified by the returns in claiming the
election of Dietrich for governor by at
least 1000 In the - counties re-
ported he has II plurality of 300. The
missing counties two years ago gave
Poyntcr Il plurality of only 1889, and
If they should vote the same this year
it would still leave u plurality of so
for Dietrich"
The Bee claims the legislature will
be Republican by Il safe working ma
jority in both houses.
The World Herald Dem) claims the
lieutenant governor will east the de-
Gliding vote in the upper house and
that the lower house is evenly divided,
with two places in doubt.
The World-Herald says: "Complcte
returns from 81 of the 30 counties in
the state indicate the reelection Of
Governor Poynter by plurality Of
LOO. These counties give POyntcr
9O,1S0 and Dietrich S9,219 These
same counties in 1898 gave POynter
75.S4S and Hayward 1861. This com
pariSOn shows net loss Of 1900. and
it covers about three e-fourths of the
vote of the state. The later returns
indicate that Mckinley carried Ne
braska by 5000 plurality, Complete re-
turns from 81 counties give Bryan 3d.
O53 and Mckinley 99,9l3. Four years
ago these counties gave Bryan $3.50
and Mckinley 80. .105. This shows a
net loss for Bryan that nearly wipes
out his lead Of four years ago, and the
remaining counties yet to come in will
undoubtedly give Mckinley plurality
of about 5000. The state ticket seems
to be running right up with the gov
ernOr, and some of the candidates will
than that indicated by POynter."
