The Rain {! ]! ]. !. :. :,

The rain comes down now almost
every day, falling on the just and the
UNJUST, and sometimes the just as well
as the unjust get whack with hail
stone, but all are willing to take
chances.
Ranchers say that not in years has
there been such a heavy growth OF
vegetation as is seen now on the
plains, and range cattle and horses
are rounding out in flesh.
Farmers and gardeners, too, are
happy and their crops are A 1. Al
iaiia is almost ready for the first cut
ting, and as for the sugar beets they
are doing splendidly, and everything
else the same way.
The gardeners are having all they
can do to take care of their truck, for
the same rain that makes their plants
grow make the weeds grow also.
Even if they are having a period OF
strikes in the mountains, the agri-
cultural districts are blessed and that
partially offsets the misfortunes OF
the mining camps.
colorado Strawberries are now on
the market and they are making an
unusually heavy yield.

organs of democracy as the News and

However, that depends more or less
on what Alva Adams OF Pueblo has

Denver election in which the forces of
Wolcott and Stevenson were demoral-

The Indicator is surprised at the
narrow view taken by sundry OF its
democratic exchanges relative to the
late ruling OF the supreme court oi
the state. Judge GabDert, himself a
democrat, wrote the decision in which
1t is held that up to this time the
governor has been acting within his
constitutional rights in dealing with
the industrial troubles in the mining
camps, and not only that, but local
legal talent among democratic law
yers as well as republican upholds the
same contention. OF course it was
sumner, REMOVING as it does from
out OF their reach the biggest pile OF
political ammunition which the party
OF Patterson and Thomas had, but
it pays to be fair and square even in
political matters. We think we can
see wherein Governor Peabody might
have acted with more diplomacy and
adopt rules less harsh in their appli-
cation, but the truth is he kept within
the law, and democratic Judge on
the supreme bench says SO. Give the
devil his dues.

says there are many Fort Dodge
friends of George who will be pleased
to know he has left the loose-leafel

that talks more about God and less
about kings and knaves. The applica-
ton OF the item in the manner II did

him and tried to guess what he held in
his hand. and often feeling confident
put up their money on their guess only
