The remedy is simple.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla.
That this medicine radically and
effectively purifes the blood is known
to every druggist, known to hundreds
of thousands of people who themselves
or by their friends have experienced
its curative powers.
The worst cases of scrofula, the
most agonizing sufferings from salt
rheum and other virulent blood dis
eases, are conquered by it, while
those cured of boils, pimples, dys-

RAr.s for various gathering, !

RATES for various gatherings in
the state were granted by the
Colorado railroads one day this
week. including the quarto-centen-
n:al in Colorado Springs. One OF
the points raised was advertising
schemes, and agents Of the roads
sat squarely upon numerous pro
positions for advertising the roads.
One OF the agents said that they
proposed to advertise only in
newspapers. where it would do
good, and were going to "pass up"
a score or more OF schemes that
have, heretofore. been patronized.
Railroad men are unusually wise
Fake advertising schemes don't
work elsewhere as successfully as
they do in La unta. All you
need here is an out-of. date map or

Superintendent OF Irrigation Z.

The water situation IN the Az
kansas valley is becoming really
serious and by the beginning OF
next week it will be almost des-
perats. In Oteso county. the
garden spot of the state. only the
Rocky Ford and Fort Lyons canals
are getting any water from the
river, and in Bent and Pfo~ers
county not single ditch is run
ming, and the only water they get
is seepage.
$50 far there has been no ser
ious damage to crops except lit
tie alfalfa The Amity and Bob
Creek bitches have q good supply
OF reservoir water and the sugar
beet and melon crops will be saved
BY the storage water. However.
by the first OF next week predic,
that there will be a veritsble fam
inc and things may get serious un-
less there is good heavy rain
storm. OF course the situation is
nothing like wha, they are exper'
iencing down in Kansas and IN
other states, and there will be nc
enormous loss from lack OF water.
but the farmers will feel the scare

FARMERS who depend upon a
single crop to tide them over from
one season TO another. will begin
TO learn. after few years exper
fence. that diversity Of farm pro
ducts is almost essential to fore
stall disaster and failure. The
farmer who depends upon twenty
acre patch OF melons as = source
OF annual revenue. may be very
prosperous one season. under ia
vorable conditions, while the fol-
lowing year he may b. knocked
higher than Gilroy's kite by hail
storm, and be a candidate for the
poorhouse. Some depend exclu
sively upon cantaloupes. others
upon sheep and still others upon
cattle or sugar heets, and an un-
favorable season in their particu-
lar speciality leaves them bankrupt.
Successful eastern farmers diversi-
fy their products. aud in the event
of failure of one crop have others
to fall back upon. II the farmers
adjacent to La Junta would take
up the creamery proposition they
would have never failing source
Of revenue. In Kansas last month.
Junction City's creamery paid Is54
cents for butter fat. The payroll
for the creamery was Si.Ioo for
the month. Nearly every dollar
Of this amount came as clean
pickup to the men patronizing the
creamery. During May last. the
creameries Of one small county
paid to the farmers $4,000 for
milk and cream. This is simply
an object lesson.

AKcuNssrs in the revenue Ia

ARGUMENTS in the revenue law
test case were heard by Judge
Dixon in the district court of Pue-
bio county last Monday and Tues
day and the matter was taken un-
der advisement. A decision will
be given 10 the course OF the next
ten days. Judge Dixon's opinion
will probably be elaborate and vol
luminous and very interesting read
ing. Governor Orman has prac-
tically decided not to call an extra
session OF the legislature even in
the event OF the revenue law being
declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court, for which the citi.
zens OF Colorado have reason to
be devoutly thankful. The asses
sors Of the state have practically
completed their work and the in
crease 10 assessed valuation will
mean on the four mill levy for
state purposes an increase of
$500, 900 per annum in state rev.
enues. II the assessment stands
there will be no necessity for an
extra session OF the legislature. II
the new revenue law is declared
unconstitutional. however. many
OF the direct tax impositions of the
new law, which have already been
collected, will have to be refunded.

SCHOOLS OF CUBA.
Acting Commissioners Hanna's Report
Pupils Number I72.273.

HAVANA. June 1S.-The report of Lieu
tenant Hanna, acting commissioner OF
schools in Cuba, treats of the four months
ending December, 1900 Beginning in Sep
tember, 19O0 the Cuban schools were put
under direct military supervision and army
officers commenced making quarterly in
spections OF each school province. The
work of the school commissioners has con-
sisted largely in perfectng organization
under the new school law, which is modelled
after the school laws of Ohio 1t was
found that many changes were necessary
to meet existing conditions, and at present
the system is working excellently. There
are 1851 schools in Cuba and 1858 school
are colored. There are 2.217 women and Lass
men teachers. The number of pupils is
172273, and the average attendance per
school is "a. The cost per pupil per month
is s1.S6. Lieutenant Hanna recommends
that the municipalities pay proportion of
the school expenses, now borne wholly by
the state. The total annual expenditures
on account of schools now exceeds 81, ,0O0, 900.
and will probably soon reach $6,000,000 The
commissioner says that the present salaries
paid 10 teachers are from 20 to 50 per cent.
higher than those paid in the United States
and recommends that they be decreased.
attending teachers are to receive their reg
ular salary. The invitation extended by
President Eliot of Harvard University, to
one hundred Cuban teachers to attend the
summer school there has been accepted by
one hundred women instructors who under
stand English, and who will sail for the
United States the latter part of June.

against Attorney Barlow ;. Weeks
Senator Hill was equally vigorous. After
eNpialnins MS connection with Ihg aPpe.a. Pps.i.
he reviewed the case and argued the gullt
OF the defendant. He strongly defended
the course of Recorder Con and Assistant
District Attorney Osborne and the theory
and policy OF the prosecution. Starting
with the theories OF the people as 10 the
killing Of Mrs. Adams and Barnet he fol-
lowed them through their lines OF reason
ing and contended for their stability and
acceptance He insisted that the people
had the right 10 show how Barnet died
and that a complete reconciliation OF the
two cases was possible. He avowed that
the prosecution was within its rights IN
showing the relations OF Molineux and his
wife prior 10 their marriage, ana asserted
that il was the people who had suffered
when the recorder ordered the evidence
stricken out He said Mrs. MolineuX had
called her marriage a romance; he called
IL "A tragedy.
Mr.. Hill took up successfully the various
mysterious letters written under the names
OF Cornish and Barnet, and, forcefully ad-
justing them in their places in the theory
OF the prosecution, dramatically proclaimed
the alleged guilt of the prisoner and in
sisted that the State had conclusively
proven its case. He defended Harry Cor

PITTSBURG, June 1S.-It was announced
in Pittsburg to-day that New York fnan-
ciers interested in and friendly with the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company had Sc
cured control of the Fairmont coal com
bine" and that with this absorption the
Pennsylvania interests had obtained full
control of the soft coal-carrying trade to
the Atlantic seaboard. The intentions OF
the new combine" are TO develop the
West Virginia coal fields and offer i'm
proved facilities for the exporting of coal.
This probably will involve the building
and operating of a large fleet of transat-
lantic coalers. Only one independent inter-
est now exists, and it is dependent upon
the Pennsylvania.
The Watsons of Fairmont, who were ac-
tive in the organization of the West Vir-
gnia combine" are to be the active man.
ayers of properties for the railroad inter-
ests. The deal was originally started in
the interest of the men in the control of
the Baltimore & Ohio more properly speak
ing, the Pennsylvania officials, and the
combine" was financed in New York by
this strong party. All of the mines in the
Fairmont district capable of shipping coal
TO the seaboard have been secured, and the
only outside interests are the West Virginia
Central mines and the Davis Coal and Coke
Company. This company has been big
shipper of both coal and coke, but it, too,
was dependent upon the Pennsylvania or
the Baltimore & Ohio for its outlet. 1t is
said to be the intention of the Pennsylvania
TO supply the coastwise trade of the At
lantic from the Berwind-White and other
Pennsylvania mines and TO use the West
Virginia coal for the export trade that is
promised in the future.
