Losses in Gainesville Tornado.

Gainesville. Ga. June 3.-The 5000
Inhabitants of this city have just be
gun to realize the extent of the appall-
ing disaster of Monday 1t now seems
certain that the death list will not be
much short OF 100; perhaps somewhat
over 100 a considerable number OF
dangerously wounded whose chances
for recovery cannot be calculated.
Figuring from all available sources
and giving credence only to those re-
ports which are believed 10 be trust
worthy, the following is summary of
the effects of the tornado in Gaines
vile and its environs:
One hundred killed. $50 injured, OF
whom probably twenty will die; 500
homeless. their residences having been
wiped out of existence; property loss,
of about $500, 900, none of which was
covered by storm insurance.
The death list so far compiled in
Clndes thirty-two at the Pacolet cotton
miI,r at New Holland, all OF whom
were killed in the demolition of the
cCmpanys cottages and thirty-six at
the Gainesville cotton mills, near the
Southern railway station, where the
tornado first struck.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
D0INGS AT.THE CAPITAL CITY
lndexing Stock Brands.

With more than 10000 stock brands
registered with the secretary of state,
the task of revising the records and
indexing them is complicated by the
similarity in many cases. In this con-
nection the brand department is en-
will give brands that resemble each
other to herds in different sections of
the state.
Such a large number of symbols
makes it impossible to prevent what
amounts to duplicating. but the brand
office is trying to remove confusion re-
Ading the ownership of stock by en-
cling the new system. 1t will be
nearly two years. however, before the
state has set of records that can be
called perfect.
One of the points made by the sec
retary of state is that stockmen who
move their herds to portion of the
state where a brand similar to theirs
is in use, should apply to the Office for
another design, and thereby prevent
confusion and the probability OF dis
putes. On this subject the secretary
of state has written the following let
ter:
There seems to be considerable mis-
apprehension among stockmen as to
just what is prohibited in the matter
Of conflicting brands.
"The fact of the matter is, that while
the law prohibits the recording of the
same brand for more than one party,
1t is entirely silent upon the subject of
conflicting brands, and in order tC pro-
tect a recorded brand. as much as is
possible, this office has made it a rule
not to record brands which conflict
with other recorded brands in the
locality or near the range where the
same is to be used.
las there are more than 10000
brands in use in this state and now of
record in this office. it is, of course,
impossible to carry this rule any far
ther than to avoid a conflict in the
same locality or on the same range.
1T is a matter of course that law
or rule which would prohibit the re-
cording of brands which might con-
flict with brands in use anywhere in
the state, would limit the number OF
brands to be recorded to possibly 1000
or 1000.
".Frequently parties having a record

II t&ge other thar: their recorded range,
and, of course, occasionally come into
conflict with brands in use on the new
range. In such cases the only rem
edy which suggests itself seems to be
that the party removing the stock make
inquiry as to what brands are record
ed for use on or near the new range,
to discontinue the use of the brands
in coco of conflict with brands on Such
new range, and to make application
to this office to record brand which
will not conflict

GREAT NEW YORK
STRIKE is ENDED

New York. June 3.-As a result of a
conference yesterday between repre-
sentatives of the employers and the
employees, the building trades war in
New York is practically ended and the
men are expected to return to work
Thursday or Friday.
Truck drivers and lahOrors employed
in the yards OF ma terial dealers are to
return to work under conditions which
existed before the strike began.
The recognition of their union is to
be waived and the men are to return
as individuals They will retain their
organization and their representation
in the United Board OF Building Trades.
but the board will not attempt to en-
force demands of the drivers that only
union men be employed in the yards.
1t is expected that the terms of set
ticment will be formally ratified by the
United Board Of building Trades to-
morrow and signed by both sides
Thursday morning.
The settlement means the return to
work of 100000 men
The employers have gained what they
have been cOntending for in insisting
that the truck drivers and the men
who handle the materials in the yards
are to return to work under the same
conditions as existed before they werV

Cattle Losses by Mango.

The exact degree Of fatiliay of the
prevalent cattle disease known as
scabies or mango. seems little under
stood, and some facts gained by Spe-
cial Agent Harry B. Kerr of the HUI
name Hureau throw new light upon
it, says the Denver News Agent Kerr
has jus returned from a weeks in
spectiou in Otero, Bent and PrUwers
counties and while there found a
stockman who lost fifty per cent, Of his
cattle Trough mango. He had two
herds, both of which Of the same age,
received the same feed and were sub
jected a. the same exposure. In the
one afilrted with mango one-haIf died,
while in he other unaffected herd not
one was Dost, showing. he believes, that
the deaths were caused by this disease
and NOT by exposure to a hard winter,
Large rumbers of cattle in the COM
ties nauHl north of the Santa i'o rail-
way weIo found to be diseased and
stockmCu are making strenuous efforts
to cur" Item by dipping. Agent Kerr's
observations lead him to believe that
the goycrnment dip of sulphur and
lime is iar more eiiicacious than the
patent romedies with which the mar
ket is lOoded. One singular aspect of
the disease is that it more apt to
prove fatal among cattle that are fed
hay or rain. those feeding upon grass
seeming being able to withstand the
attack far better. Another curious dis
covery l. that while cattle are thin as
rails, Tho horses are fat, Losses have
been heavier than usual among cows

Denver and Northwestern.

Denver. June 3-The annual meeting
of the Denver &. Northwestern Rail
road Company, which operates the cleo
tric lines to Arvada and Leyden from
the Tramway terminus at Berkeley,
was held yesterday at the cOmpany's
Offices in the Iron building The old
officers and board of directors were
reelected ard the usual routine bust
ness of an annual meeting transacted.
The annual reports of officers showed
that the projects Of the company were
in the best of shape. The line to Ley
den Junction has been completed and is
in satisfactory operation, and the eX
tensions to the Leydcu coal mines are
finished and plans are complete for the
shipment OF coal to the local market.
Further construction plans were out
lined in the reports, including the pro-
posed extension from Arvada to Gold
en- and the tentative plans for building
lines to Boulder and other points. The
latter enterprises are only in their
formative state, however. and it was
announced that their completion would
depend on future contingencies.
The building Of the Golden line,
which it was understood had been de-
cided on, IS said to be by no means
certain. Matters of certain rights Of
way are said to be still undecided. and
it is given out that the road will not be
built unless these difficulties are
cleared up.
The people Of Golden are anxious to
get the line. which will give them con-
necticns with Denver and service
suqh as they have never had. 1t was
reported that the Golden Council
looked favorably on the project, but
that it was not certain it would be car

Students in the high schools of the
city and county of Denver will no long
er receive any free text books. AT a
meeting of the Board of Education it
was decided to extend the rule that al
ways prevailed in old District No. T
to the other portions of the county.
Only two higA schools will be affected
by the extension of this rule. These are
those of old districts Nos. 2 and II.
None of the other old districts ever
gave text books to students in the high
schools. For this reason the effects OF
the rule will not be very extensive. In
making the rule to apply to the entire
district as formed under the home rule
amendment the school board merely
extended the conditions that had pre-
vailed in most of the old districts to
the others. Reports from those sections
in which text books had been supplied
show that not great many were ap-
piled -6pr. Therefore, not many will be
affec II.
