week ending June 2 was abnormally
cool in the lower Missouri, central Mis-.
sissippi and the Ohio valleys and or
the Atlantic coast ~northward of the
Carolinas. Frosts, more or less de.
structive, occurred from the 9th tc
18th in the Lake region, Ohio valley
Tennessee. western North Carolina and
over the interior portions of the Mid
die Atlantic states and generally thru
out New England. In Nearly all dis
tricts east of the Rocky Mountains
crop growth was checked by low tenn
peratures and rains interfered with
farm work in Oklahoma, Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Arkansas.
On the Pacific coast the first part
of the week vas favorable. but the

Injurious frosts in the eastern parts
of regon and Washington.

in partitions of the lower Ohio valley.
The GRO made a splendid growth in
Nebraska, and general Improvement is

Harvesting is nearly finished in Texas,
but its commencement has beer delayed
in Oklahoma on account of rains. The

More Money Can be Made by Raising
Beef Cattle at Present.

Des Moines, June 3.-Reports to the
Office of the state dairy commission
er indicate that dairying in Iowa is net
as popular this year as in other years
In addition to the act that the liv4
stock came thru the winter in rather
poor condition, the farmers nave dis
covered that there is more money to
be made with the present high prices
in beef cattle and pork than in cream
cry work. The state dairy commits
sioner, Mr.. Wright, is convinced that
this years reports will not show the
customary gain ever other years.

short certainly 100000 o bushels and
possibly 60, 900, 900 bushels of last years

crop.
In the thirty three counties of the
east 100 miles of the state, where crop
conditions are the best, ranging in the
'90's, in some cases, there are but
595. 900 acres of wheat-hardly ten per
cent of the aggregate area. Travellers
who see this part of the state think
Kansas will have a big wheat crop.
There is some sign of a moderate
movement of wheat from the eastern
and southern parts of the state, but in
the north half farmers are holding as
tenaciously as ever to their old wheat.

The Boston Office Of the Laramie,
Hahns Peak and Pacific Railway com
pany is stirring the local office to get
to work on the line and push things
to completion. President Van Horn
has written to Vice President Miller
concerning the matter. and Mr.. Miller
has assured the president that he will
have things moving as early as pos,
sible.
Contractor Callahan is now at Cen,
tennial, where his machinery is stor.
ed. overhauling that, and when every
thing is in shape men will be put to
work. He will go I'VE that portion of
the line already graded and make it
ready for the ties and rails, which will
be put down and a work train put on
as soon as the work can be done.
The Impotence of the Boston ONCE
is felt here, but Mr.. Van Horn does
not take into consideration the pecu-
liar climate conditions as Mr.. Miller
does. The snow is lying in sorne OF the
gulches and rayines that will have to
be crossed, and there Is still frost In
the ground at the foot of the noun
tains.

A MAN

Never feels that he has shown i'll
temper without cause therefor.
VIII tell how much nerve he has
and then balk on the merest jar.
Has a %fondness for telling other men
what they should or should not 10.
Likes to feel that his attire compares
favorably with that of a mar Of fash
ion.
Wants women to understand that he
Is not the sort to be easily cajoled or
deceived.
With a perpetual grumble' is the
last to confess that he stands in his
own light.
Always tries to make It appear that
the preponderance of love is on The
woman's side.
Will insist that he dislikes a crowd
ed dining-room and then grows cross
when he is left alone.
Who has set opinions on all ques-
lions rarely exhibits clear judgment
on involved problems.
Often bundles himself on a winter
day like an Eskimo and puts on sum
mer attire in the evening.
Thinks that the duck bill is the
queerest mammal in existence. This
is the only matter in which he don't
think OF himself first.

ATTACHED PROPERTY
AlREA0V ATTACHED

A peculiar vase has just come to the
notice of the local civil officers. Wal
ter Bovine, a North park ranchman,
owed the Laramie Saddlery company
a bill of $51.25 for a set of harness. Mr..
Lohlein on the 9Th Of April caused a
writ of attachment to be issued. the
constable taking into his keeping two
horses, a wagon and the harness. The
horses were appraised at SIS each. the
wagon at $50 and the harness at $25.
The trial WAS fixed for May 8 in Jus.
tice Hayford's court.
Today the w. H. Holiday company,
to whom Bovine owned a bill Of $57.35,
caused a writ of attachment to issue,
and as the property was already in the
hands of Constable Houston, he had no
trouble In levying the second writ. In
the meantime the horses are being
held. and will almost eat their heads
off.

Cheyenne, wyo.. April 90. 1902.

Cheyenne, Wyo., April 90, 1902.
To the Editor of The Republican.
l wish to make a correction in Mr..
Browns statement concerning Mr.. Bell
and my boys. | wish it distinctly un
derstood that it was not domestic trou-
BILE that drove Fred Bell from his
home, as time will prove. l can prove
that neither one Of my sons was at the
Haley ranch when Mr.. Bell left. Mr..
Haley hired Joe the same time he
hired MI. Bell. AS there were too
many horses for n boy. he quit Mr..
Haley's and went to work for Mr.. a
Pascoe. and was there when Mr.. Bell
quit. Jimmie Smith never in his life
saw Mr.. Haley's ranch till a month af-
ter Mr.. Bell was gone. l wrote for him
to come and see me. Mr.. Haley hired
him to break some horses. Mr.. Haley
never discharged him, nor Joe either.
Mr.. Brown says he came not long
ago: told me Mr.. Haley said he saw
Mr.. Bell. 1t was two years age that
he told me. went right to Mr.. Haley's
house and asked him. He told me he
had not seen Mr.. Bell; that he had a
letter from Tom Horn; that Horn said
he saw Mr.. Bell. I wrote to Horn to
tell me where Mr.. Bell was and he nev-
err answered.
Mr.. Bell was dissatisfied with our
home in Missouri. l signed our home
away with the understanding that l
was to have another home here In the
west. Instead, Mr.. Bell takes all the
money and disappears. I have heard
that he was at a dozen different places.
| also heard that he was see in Lara
mic. Mr.. Charles Miller; the livery
man. told me he was seen in Lara.
mie this winter. l made inquiries, but
never could find a person that ever
saw Mr.. Bell anywhere; they all heard
that he was at such places.
This is why I think Mr.. Horn knows
what has become of him. 1t is the
truth that Mr.. Horn was to have Mr..
Bell go over to Iron mountain to look
