Weekly Crop bulletin.

Compiled by the Colorado Section of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
for the week ending April 20, 1903.
The mean temperature OF the week
averaged about 6 degrees below the
normal on the western slope, and 2 or
3 degrees below east OF the Continen-
tai divide. The nights were generally
cool, and frosts were frequent, further
retarding the growth of vegetation.
High wind on the 18th caused some
damage to sandy soils Light aud
scattered showers were general during
the early part of the week, and scat
tered showers occurred during the
closing days.
The soil is reported in excellent con-
dition for flowing and seeding except
in a few localities where it is still too
wet. The seeding OF wheat. oats,
spring rye and barley is we'll advanced,
and the planting of potatoes, beets and
gardens has begun. In the San Louis
valley wheat seeding is practically fin
ished with somewhat smaller acreage
than usual; in the north central dis
trict seeding is progressing rapidly.
Winter wheat and fall sown rye are re-
ported in excellcdt condition. The
acreage set apart for sugar bects is
larger than heretofore, and planting is
being pushed rapidly along the Arkan-
sas. Fruit trees are generally dor
mant, except in localities in the south
ern and western counties, where early
varieties Of apricotts are blooming and
pear buds are swelling. Alfalfa and
range grasses are making slow growth.
Stock feeding continues, cattle as
rule being in poor condition.

Washington County District Court

Judge Armour, OF the district court,
held a short session OF court in Akron
last Tuesday. But little was done be-
yond granting to District Attorney
Pound leave to file several criminal
informations. Those attracting the
most attention were the cases OF the
People against George l. Tuttle, Perry
futile, Elmer Shanks, Clinton Dams
dill and Frank Irwin.
In one set of informations each Of
the defendants was charged with the
murder OF Joseph Meenan, and the
other set charges them with being
accessories before and during the
fact.
In these cases the defendants were
required to give good and sufficient
bond in the sum of $500 each on in
formation No. ll2, charging murder,
and a bond Of $500 each in the other
cases. Their personal recognizance in
the latter was deemed sufficient by
the attorneys for the people and Judge
Stuart, attorney for the defendants.
The bond was made rcturnable Sep
tcmber 7th next when an adjourned
April term of court will be held.
The state was represented by Judge
Pound, district attorney, and August
Muntzing, ESQ, special prosecutor,
while Judge 7. b. Stuart. of Denver,
appeared for the dcfendants.-Akr

the owners of the machines and has
started an investigation as to their le-
gal status. 1t is also intimated that
these men have, with the collusion Of
postottice officials, promoted the use Of
certain machines to the exclusion OF
others and an investigation is being
conducted with the expectation that
considerable malfeasance will be dis
covered.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

The postotfice investigation contin
ues to create the greatest interest in
Washington and everyone is wonder
ing what will be disclosed next. Post
master General Payne has returned to
Washington after cruise in West H.
dian waters with Secretary Moody,
and when seen by your correspondent
said: ut is too early to say anything
as to the result of the Investigation,
but may say that am entirely sat-
istied with the manner in which it is
being conducted. l have seen Mr..
Bristow and Mr.. Wynnc and have talk
ed the situation over and am satisfied
that there has been earnest effort, no
lack Of discretion and no display of ex.
ccssive zeal. As to the results, it
would be most unwise to speak until
we are sure of our facts. 1t is our de-
termination to probe the matter to the
bottom and to prove guilt where it ex-
lists and exonerate innocence If it has
been irnpugned."
general is significant in view OF the
fact that an effort has been made to
fix the responsibility for the investi-
cation on First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne and to create the i'm
preston that Mr.. Wynne had been
guilty of indiscretion by talking to
representatives of the press and would
receive the condemnation Uf the post
master general. While most charg es
are still "under Investigation" this
much may be stated as a fact: A new
attorney general for the department,
of high character, will be appointed
soon and there will be general sweep
ing out of concerns which have, by use
of the mails, obtained money from the
public on innumerable fraudulent pre-
texts. Mr.. Beavers, superintendent OF
the division OF salaries and allowances,
resigned the day he learned his diris-
ion was under investigation. Mr..
Machen, superintendent Of the divis.
ion Of free delivery, has been proven
guilty of insubordination and, regard
less OF the many other charges against
him, he will have to leave the service
on this one count while other charges
seem likely to be proven. A thorough
reorganization Of the service and par
ticularly that section which comes un-
der the supervision of the first assist
ant postmaster general is imperative.
The present incumbent Of that posi-
tion, Mr.. Wynnc, has positively refus-
ed to he mere dummy, automatically
approving all orders presented for his
signature and, in Il measure, this re-
fusal has prcciptuted the present in
vestigation.
Numerous serious charges have been
made concerning the operations of the
three divisions above noted, too many
for enumeration here. The most SER
ious is that promotion pool has ex-
listed to which employees were compel
led to contribute literally in order to
secure promotion. The latest is to
the effect that twelve machinists, at
salaries averaging $1,000 year, have
been carried on the rolls as bookkeep-
ers. The duties of these men has been
the repairing and inspection Of the
cancelling machines used in the larger
postotflces and for which the govern
ment pays rental varying from $3.50
30 s40O per year. The comptroller of
the treasury believes these men have
been performing work incumbent on

earth, he was no bigger than a bee

he disappeared altogether, and the

Of Interest to Thin, Weak People.

Of Interest to Thin, Weak People.
It is perfectly understood by every
sick man or woman that If they can
get some remedy that will stop the
gradual loss of flesh and strength,
their recovery is assured. People
that are nervous and unsteady, have
dizzy spells, with weakened memory
and loss of ambition, their blood is
thin and watery. 1t shows in their
sallow complexion and tired manner;
soon as they commence to gain flesh
they look better and sleep better. To
gain from 1 to 3 pounds of good,
solid flesh per week, the blood must
be made rich and pure. DR.. Gums
Blood and Nerve Tonic puts in the
blood the very pith of what makes
pure, rich blood in the most direct
way, and cures diseases by making
strength. This tonic Is in tablet
form, to be taken right after meals.
It enriches the blood, making force
where there was faintness. For wo-
mems weakness better remedy was
never made. Sold by all druggists
for 75c per box, or three boxes sent
by mail. Write us about your case

MADE DASH FOR LIBERTY.
ton Attempt Escape-One Killed,
Other Desperately Wounded.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, July 1.-Two convicts
attempted to escape from the State
farm in Lexington yesterday after
noon, and as consequence one of
them is dead and the other desper-
ately wounded. The dead mans
name was Perry Horton and he came
from Lancaster. The other is Geo.
Mancie, who came from Greenwood.
The convicts, with others, were
ploughing IN large field yesterday
afternoon. Guard Kibler had charge
OF the gang, of which these two
were a part Their rows brought
them to a heavy clump of bushes
beside the field. Just as they got
to them on one round they made a
dash to escape. Guard Kibler got
one shot at them with his rifle, but
missed, and his gun getting out of
order, ha failed to shoot again, and
the two men made good their escape
in the thick underbush. The farm
is in the vicinity of that of Mr.. B
l.. Swygert's place. Last night he
and some neighbors organized them
selves into posse to assist the
guards in recapturing the men.
They visited various negro houses
without results, but finally came
upon the negroes in tho woods.
They started to run, but Mr..
Swygert opened fire with his
shotgun and killed Horton. Others
of the posse fired and Maucie was
wouded 30 that he fell, but his
wounds are said not to be fatal.
Horton was in for five years and had
served about five months. Mancie
was in for eighteen months, but had
served only four. An inquest was
held to- day and the usual verdict
was rendered.

ued his visits. Distler met her Tues
day and told her that while he could

clared her love for her brother and
requested him not to marry for two
years after her death.

DOCTOR RELIEVED OF DUTY.
Farmer Finishes His Victim OH Operating
Table-Brutal, but Very
Determined Act.

B]uffton, Ind, July 12.-John
Terrell, wealthy farmer living near
Petroleum, nine miles from here,
killed his son-in law, Melvin Wolfe,
this afternoon, firing both barrels of
shotgun into his head as Wolfe lay
on doctor'soperating table to have
leg emputated, necessltated by a
wound from Terrell's gun short
time before. Wolfe deserted the
girl, it is said, leaving her with a
young child. A suit was brought to
compel him to support his wife. 1t
is reported that Wolfe had twice
driven by the Terrell home shouting
insulting remarks and shaking his
fist at Terrell. The third time he
drove by Terrell jumped from some
bushes along the roadside and fired
at his son-inlaw with double bar
rolled shotgun. The first charge
shattered Wolfe's right leg. The
second barrel missed Wolfe was
hurried to the office of Dr. Saun
der's at Petroleum and placed on an
operating table to have the log am
pntatod.
While a crowd stood outside
watching the doctor Terrell came up
from his home in buggy, broke in
the doors of the Doctors office, drove
out the crowd at the point Of his gun
and with the remark, 81 am after
him, and l am going to get him
yet" fired both barrels into his son
in-law's head. He waa terribly mu-
tilated. At the time he first came
the young man WAS only half con-
scious. Terrell got in his buggy,
loaded up his shotgun and pointed
it at the mob that had hastily form
ed, held it at bay and drove to the
sheritf's residence.
