Seed Corn.

The Experiment Station of the state
agricultural school has sent out q
bulletin warning the farmers of a pos
sible seed corn famine. The severe
frosts over large areas of the corn
belt have spoiled great deal of the
corn for seed purposes, and the bulle-
tin advises those who have corn fit for
seed to save as much of It as possible.
It also gives advice as to the best
means of curing seed corn, and what
varieties will be likely to be most in
demand. This matter may be Of great
Importance to the farmers of this
county. The frost has so far done no
appreciable damage here. The warm
weather that succeeded the rainy
period has fastened the ripening Of
the corn wonderfully, and the pros
poets are now good for the best corn
crop ever harvested here. We have
never seen such good staLd of corn
as this county has produced this sum-
mer. If it ripens under such weather
conditions as we have had now it will
certainly be acclimated so as to be the
safest kind Of seed corn for all north
ern regions. AS seed corn is liable to
be high priced next spring our farm
ers would certainly do we'll to save as
much of it as possible, and save it in
such shape as to leave its germtn ating
qualities uninjured. Every farmer
having any such corn ought to drop u
pustal card to the University Expert.

No kansa. Compromise Proposed.

A Denver Republican special from
Topeka. Kansas. says: Kansas off,
cials were much interested when they
read the statement of Governor Pea
body of Colorado to the effect that he
had suggested no compromise of the
Kansas-Colorado water suit. They say
that the compromise talk must now be
traced to some other Colorado source.
as they profess to be certain that no.
body on the Kansas side suggested a
compromise. A representative of the
Republican asked Attorney General
Coleman about the matter. He said
that as far as he knew no compromise
had been officially proposed by either
side, and that he had not been ap-
preached by anybody on the subject.
He admitted, however, that the air is
full of compromise talk, and that pos
sibly this would be the outcome of the
litigation.
The Kansas officials freely admit
they would like to get the water suit
off their hands and while not conced-
ing that the Colorado officials have the
better of the argument, they would be
pleased IL some satisfactory settle
ment of the suit could be arranged.
Governor Bailey is out of the city, but
it is known that he favors settle
ment of the suit in peaceable way.
He never was anxious to push it.

a REMARKABLE CONVICTION.

We are sometimes prone to criticiso
juries, but in the long run they seem
able to get their focal lenses adjusted
and criminals who are able to escape
on ordinary technicalities are brought
beneath the swinging sword of Justice
William NJ. Miller. the head of the
Franklin syndicate. which promised Its
customers $50 per cent. on their invest
ment, is doing time In states prison
for having cheated people by what al
most any man with an ordinary
amount of brains should have known
was a swindle His legal counsel during
the time he was doing the swindling
act was one Col Robert A. Ammon.
After the conviction of Miller. his
counsel was arrested on the charge OF
knowingly having received money that
had been filched- from the customers.
His trial ended few days ago In con-
viction. 1t is a reasonable suppositlon
that he will serve several years IN
prison, the same as the man for whom
he was acting as legal adviser.
Ammon is lawyer of ability. IN
fact, his ability is alleged to nave peen
away and afar in excess OF his good
Judgment and honesty. The ethics OF
his profession will not excuse him IN
taking money he must have known was
not earned honestly. That he knew
the concern for which he was working
was a swindle. pure and simple. was
taken to be proved by the fact that he

a years work.-Leadville Herald DEM

almost resulted in a riot, and twenty
five policemen were called to quell the
disturbance.
Several arrests we're made. one po-
liceman received a deep stab from a
hat pin, while man, said to be one of
those opposed to Washington, received
several razor cuts and is now in the
hospital. After the arrests Mr.. Wash
ington was allowed to proceed and
spoke for nearly two hours.
Both factions at the close of the
meeting issued statements. Mr.. Wash
ington said in his statement that the
colored people of Boston should not
be held responsible for a few riotous
individuals, and William Munroe Trot-
ter, one of those who was arrested,
stated that the cause of the rioting
was the absurd ruling of thee hartman,
Lewis, in ordering the arrest and ejec-
tion of any person who hissed or man
ifested any objection to the speaker
1t is said that the disturbance was
prearranged and after the meeting Mr..
Trotter and his friends admitted that
they went there with the idea Of ask
ing Washington a number of questions
, and to resent any attack that might
be made on the recent New England
representatives to the Afro-American
council at Louisville.

pices of the Colored Business Mems

STATEMENT OF IDAHO SPRINGS
CITIZENS PROTECTIVE LEAGUE

these there are two others who believe
it was not radical enough.
I'VE think that this settles the trou-
BILE in the Idaho Springs district. 1t
was only by the effort of the leaders
of the Citizens Protective League that
no bodily injury was done to the union
men and that they were permitted to
leave the town without personal in
jury. AS is well known. the indigna-
tion which has existed here has been
so intense that a word might have
caused the lynching of some of the
parties implicated. We have fought
against this from the start, and the
union men can thank the Citizens
League that they were permitted to
leave the town unharmed.
"The union miners in the Cripple
Creek district established the prece-
dent few days ago when four inno-
cent Austrians seeking employment
were led from the town of Victor for
no cause whatever. In the light of that
action the Western Federation of Min
ers cannot consistently criticise what
was done here last night.
When the Sun and Moon resumed
operations We assured the manage
ment that we would protect them and
their property. The Citizens League
has used every means in its power to
prevent any disaster from occurring in
this district, and we feel Confident that
our vigilance has been the means OF
preventing the outrages until this
time. On the morning after the dyna-
hitting. the executive committee OF this
body met and passed resolution that
we would furnish the funds to replace
the damaged property. In this man
ner we propose to carry into practical
effect our promise to protect all mem
bers of this organization against out
RACES perpetrated by anarchy. We look
upon the destruction of this property
as our loss. and not the loss of the
Sun and Moon Company"

bail. Long was arrested at his home.

found him in bed. Machen was not re-
arrested under the new Indictment, as
he gave bonds in 100000 under his in
dictment several weeks ago. and the
authorities felt this was sufficient to
ensure his appearance.
Warrants have been issued for the
out town persons indicted, and their
arrest is expected within the next
twenty-four hours. The grand jury has
not completed the work laid before it
by the postal investigators and other
indictments may be expected later on,

Denver. Aug. 1.-The executive COM
mittee of the Idaho Springs Citizens
Protective League have made the fol-
lowing authorized statement:
THE action of the citizens of Idaho
Springs last Thursday night speaks for
itself. The members OF the union were
given to understand from the first that
80 long as they were agitators of So
cialistic principles we would hold them
responsible should any damage be
done to any property in the district.
When men argue in public and private
that capital hasn't a right to reason
able profit on the labor they employ,
and tell their followers that they have
been robbed of every dollar that their
employers make, it Is little wonder
that the ignorant ones are inspired to
such dastardly deeds as that commit
ted at the Sun and Moon last Wednes-
day night. We have more sympathy
for the Italians touching the fuse that
destroyed the transformer house and
resulted in the death of one of them.
than we have for the agitators who in
spired them to do it. The Italians
come to this country with little under
standing of the full meaning of repub-
lican liberty, and when Americans tell
them that their employers are robbers
and tyrants 1t is little wonder that 1t
makes anarchists of them. The people
of Idaho Springs had reached the limit
of endurance. This has never been a
union stronghold and our people be-
lieve that they would rather give up
their homes and business than submit
to policies of tyranny which have
threatened our public and private in
stitutions and the lives of our citizens
for the past six months. The action
Of last night shows that the people will
not submit to the dictation of q few
imported union agitators. There may
be some people who believe that the
action was too radical, but for each of

Court Moditles rie Injunction.

The opinion in the case of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande Railroad ct al, ap-
pellants, VS.. the United States of Amer
lea, appellee. has Just been filed in the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
The case is appealed from the Circuit
Court of the United States for the Dis
trict of Colorado, and gives decision
on the justness Of some of the provis-
ions of an injunction Issued out of the
lower court restraining the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Company from
cutting certain trees belonging to the
government
The opinion states that it is not the
purpose of a temporary injunction to
punish for violations OF the law, but is
merely for the purpose of protecting
and preserving the rights of the parties
until the controversies between them
can be heard and determined.
The opinion then proceeds to remove
the inhibition preventing the company
from using saw mills or other devices
of this nature, claiming that it makes
no difference to the government what
may be the method used after the tim
Der is obtained but that the difference
to the government comes in the TAX
ing OF the timber in the first place and
that is the important part of the whole
matter. This inhibition is for this rea-
son removed.
Then again it is stated that the tenn
porary injunction attempts to say in
what way the company shall be
charged for the lumber il takes,
whether at the rate of the manuiac-
tured ties or the value of the timber
first taken. This the court claims
should be left to the determination of
the court which decides on the other
questions involved in the case.
The order prohibits the taking of
timber for the purpose of building over
narrow-gauge roads into standard
gauge road with this timber. The court
also removes this. claiming that the
company can amply pay for the timber
that 1t uses in this fashion, and that
the government is not the loser be-
cause of this. The court also removes
the restriction in the temporary injunc-
ton which prevents the using of this
timber on certain other branch roads
not specified in the act, giving as its
reason that this can be removed with
out damage to either party until the
final hearing Of the case.
The court also states that the order
compelling the company not to trans
port the timber by rails is too strict
and the injunction can safely be modi-
fled In this particular. as it makes no
difference to the government whether
the ties are hauled in wagons or by
rail-

Governor and Eisht-Hour Law.

In an interview yesterday, says the
Denver Republican, Governor Peabody
made the sensational statement that
one reason for his not Issuing a call
for the consideration of an eight-hour
law was the fact that number OF
members of the Legislature from both
houses. who had voted and supported
the resolutions asking for an eight.
hour law, called on him In his office.
and told him. that although they had
supported the resolution. they would
not vote for an eight-hour law under
any circumstances.
Representative members OF both
houses called on me-" said the gov
ernor, land without making any pre-
tense at secrecy, said in the words OF
the spokesman: We supported the
resolutions calling for an eight-hour
law, and most of us signed the peti-
tion supporting the Whinnery bill, but
we will not vote for an eight-hour law
under any circumstances. and II you
call an extra session for the purpose,
we will filibuster all summer"
Governor Peabody said that he had
no intention of calling an extra session
for the purpose. as he was convinced
from the actions of the Legislature
during the regular session that the ma
jority of them would not support an
eight-hour law.
"They talked about their belief in
the bill ard announced in Pharasaicol
tones that they wanted such bill In
troduced and that they would vote for
1t, but a close observer could have no.
ticed that when they made these
statements, they either closed one eye
or crossed their fingers" said the gov
ernor.
"They have been attempting to lay
the blame on my shoulders. but / will
not bear it. l have made public this
much of the inner side of the matter.
and If necessary can furnish the
names of those who visited me.
1.-The eight-hour bill is a matter OF
history SO far as am concerned. The
present Legislature would never pass
bill of the kind. because there are
too many different opinions regarding
1t. The Senate will not support the
House bill and vice versa. Then there
are also two factions. one of which
wants a violation of the law made a
misdemeanor and the other felony.
