OFFICIAL FIGURES.

The Democratic managers and their
allies of the Socialist and other radical
organizations have spent thousands OF
dollars in spreading false reports OF
ths expenses of operating the state
government. They have purposely mis-
stated the facts and juggied the Off
ctal figures to confuse or deceive the
public mind and create pre1udlce
against the Peabody administration,
which is the most economical and eti-
cient Colorado has had for many years.
There are three ways of comparing
the states accounts, viz. TO compare
total disbursements, total appropria-
tions for departments and the inciden-
tai funds.
The military debt of 100000 is not
a fair charge to department expense
and should be considered separately, as
It involves principle upon which the
people will vote at the polls.
The following disbursements" were
taken from the state records, except
the Peabody estimate, which was made
by Senator Patterson in his papers and
includes. he says, the 100000 war
debt:

son estimate) .......... 4,273.570.00
A very small portion OF this money
was disbursed at the discretion OF
these governors, for the reason that
the expenditure of practically all of 1t
is specifically authorized and ordered
by law, and therefore the responsible
ity for such expenses is not upon the
administrations, but upon the Legisla-

0rpheum Theater.

Last night the Orpheum theatcr was
the scene of very large and enthusiasts
tic crowd. Everyone present seemed to
enjoy the performance from start to
finish.
The bill this week is a very strong
one and is worthy of the large patron
age it is receiving. The popular Orphc-
um stock company presented the we'll
known comedy drama in three acts,
The Picnickers.' This piece is certain
ly big hit. From the time the curtain
raised until it dropped, the demonstra-
tions of cheering and applause We're
deafening. This piece is crammed and
damned with ludicrous situations and
high class comedy. 1t compasses large
range of characters and wildly depicts
the influence of the varied characters on
society when mingled together in
manner unrestramed by better judg-
ment.
Each one. who takes part in this play
is an artist of rare excellence Their
ability and proficiency in their various
roles can not be questioned They are
indeed a credit to themselves as well as
the profession. The stage settings are
superb and compare favorably with the
larger companies who are thoroughly
equipped with special scenery.
Mr.. Athon, the popular baritone very
ably rendered the illustrated song

quartette of voices closed the second
chorus which added greatly to the effect
The moving pictures tell the story of
Joseph Sold By His Brothers" Here
is a youth of promising genius having
every obstacle of adversely thrown in
his way. Sold by his brothers; taken
into captivity by the Egyptians; thrust
into prison and at last through the force
of his own genius he raises like the
rising of the sun to the zenith of power
and fame. Surrounded by all the grand
paraphernalia of regal splendor, he final
ly in triumph reigns over a kingdom and
his malicious oppressors humble them
selves in the dust over which he trod.
One very strong feature of the bill is
the musical program under the direction
of the celebrated and proficient pianist,
Mr. Sam Orion. Mr.. orion is among
the best in the business and every lover
of good music should hear him.

FLOUR FOLLOWS WHEAT
IN the UPWARD TURN
Advance of SC a Sack Noted-Hay Mar
ket Unsettled, Owing to Scarcity
Of Cars for Shipment.

The produce and fruit markets are in
a very quiet state at the present time,
and there is not an immediate prospect
of an upward trend in the values of any
thing raised on the farm or in the orch
ard with the exceptions of wheat and
hops. The latter need not be mentioned
here, being treated in another article.
Wheat is keeping well up in price, the
North Yakima Milling company paying
re for No. club and 75c for No.
blucstem at the mill. Oats are quoted
at 24c, and barley at l9c. The price of
flour did not follow the raise in wheat
values until the latter part of last week,
when it took jump of cents per
sack on all grades; this causes Yakima
Best to sell at $3.50 per sack, Puritan
$l25 and Blue Bell at $l.l5. Since no
further big jumps in the price OF wheat
are looked for in the near future, it is
not thought that there will be a further
advance in the price of flour.
The haymarket is at standstill, and
the dealers, instead of buying are devot-
ing their energies toward getting cars
with which to fill the orders they nave
on hand, and for which they have the
hay in their warehouses. 1t requires
DAYS of the hardest kind of hustling TO
get one car where dozen are needed.
No information is obtainable as to when
this condition will change, and this fact
cable degree. At the Office of the Iaki-
ma Produce Company it was stated that
if the scarcity of cars continued for an
other month the effect would be dis
tressing. Yakima has never had such
a hay crop as it mas this year, and there
is a good demand for all of it at good
prices. Manager Gourley stated that
he would be buying and shipping from
thirty to forty tons a day if cars could
be- obtained; instead of that he has al
most stopped purchasing. Hay is being
offered freely, and ranchers with any
great amount of hay land are showing
a strong desire to sell at an early date.
The result of these conditions, if there
is no relief within snort time, will
be any amount of frst-class quality hay
dumped in a dead market and sold for
perhaps third of the present satisfac-
tory prices. The prices being paid de-
pend upon quality; good alfalfa sells
for 81 to $3.50. timothy and clover, $ll
to sl2, clover 50, and wheat hay 50.
The potato market is trifle discour-
aging to the growers at the present time,
owing TO the fact. that there is no pros
pect of an improved demand in the near
future. Last year at this time. it is
pointed out, the eastern shipments were
very heavy. whereas there is practically
no shipment east of potatoes at this
time. Buyers on the Sound are very
independent, and withal the prospect is
far from bright. 1t is stated that $l2
to Sl3 is now about top price for
Burbanks of first quality.
The. fruit market is unsettled, owing
TO the season and the fact that no mar
ket has as yet been established for win
ter apples, the main feature from now
on. A few of these have been offered,
and the prices the growers realized var
led from SOC to 81 box. None of the

WIDOW SUICIDES IN CHINA.
Practice That Is Being Checked by
Intervention Of American
Missionaries.

The Church Missionary Intelli.
gencer has a striking engraving,
showing a large crowd gathered in
Foochow City to witness the su
icide of a poor widow, an act which
was deemed by the people to be
specially meritorious. 1t seems
that the practice is not uncom
mon, and is attended with various
ceremonies, such as the visiting of
a certain temple, then ascending
a platform and receiving the wor-
ship of her brothers and her hus-
bands brothers; a cord is then
pulled either by herself or some
relative, and she is thus publicly
hung.
That this practice is approved
by the people is seen by the fact
that it is made the Official duty OF
certain mandarins, either in per
son or by deputy, to offer obla
tons at this temple in the spring
and autumn of each year" anC
that incense is burned twice eacl

names of these suicides are in

said George Gould, according to
the New York Tribune, railroad
happenings and Incidents interest
me. My friends, aware of this,
bring me whatever odd railroad
news they come upon. Thus |
heard the other day of a good re
venge.
1T seems that, at a suburban
station, a train was starting off
one morning when an elderly man
rushed across the platform and
jumped on one of the slowly NOV
ing cars.
"The rear brakeman, who was
standing by, reached up, grabbed
the old mans coattails and pulled
him off the train.
There he said, sternly. q
have saved your life. Don't ever
try to jump on like that again
"'Thank you said the old man,
calmly. Thank you for your
thoughtful kindness. 1t is three
hours till the next train, isn'tit?'
"'Three hours and a quarter
said the brakeman.
"The long train, meanwhile, had
been slowly gliding by, slowly gath
ering speed. Finally the last car
appeared. This was the brake
mans car, the one for which he
had been waiting, and, with the
easy grace that is born of long
practice, he sailed majestically
onto it.
"But the old gentleman seiezd
him by the coat and with a strong
jerk pulled him off, at the same
time saying, grimly:
Gone good turn deserves
another. You saved my life;

DovEcoTs IN SCOTLAND.
Only the Owner Of Extensive Lands
Yielding Much Produce May
Build Them.

1t is not universally known that
the right of erecting a dovecOt was
a privilege only to be enjoyed in
England by the lords of the manor,
and the law was vigorously en-
forced on this point. But in Scot
land, according to a statute still
held in observance, says the Hour
Glass, nobody has a right to build
a cot in either town or country ur.
less he is the owner of land yield
ing about 900 imperial bushels of
produce per annum, and this prop
erty must be situated within at
least two miles of the dovecot, or
pigeon house. A further enact
ment also states that on the above
named conditions only one cot
shall be built.
A distinguished authority on
husbandry estimates that in 1878
there were 10000 dOvecots in Eng.
land, and that allowing 500 pairs
to each house the damage wrought
by birds in devouring corn would
work out at no less than 100000
bushels, that is, an allowance OF
four bushels yearly to each pair
Anyone who destroyed a cot was
guilty of theft and is so held at the
present time in Scotland (the act
was passed in 1879, while a third
offense of dOyecot breaking was
capitally punishable.
