SPEAKING OF FROST.
LAte Gardeners Are Looking Up the
Records.

Those who have been planting late
gardens since the rains began have
begun to wonder how long the frost
Twill hold off and give them the bene-
fit of their late vegetables. This is
an especially important question with
the tomato growers around Abilene.
The tomato is a plant that bears
long and late and unless 1t is started
in fairly good time the early frost
is very liable to affect 1t before its
bearing season is over.
1t seems out of place to talk Of
frost this time Of year, but some Of
the gardeners near Abilene have
been inquiring about the earliest
known frost in recent years A re-
port shows that during the past Is
years there has not been killing
frost in the month of August. The
nearest approach to anything Of the
kind was on August 81, 1906, when
the thermometer dropped to 3S de-
grees above zero.
The two earliest heavy killing
frosts during the same period of 15
years were on September 16, 1908,
when the temperature dropped to "a
degrees and on September 81 Of the
same year when the minimum was
81. Both Of these times showed frost
that did considerable damage. 1t Is
of course that the amount
Of damage does not depend so much
upon the low temperature itself as
IN the amount Of moisture in the
lir at the time. Low overhanging
clouds also tend to hold the warm
lir close to the surface and 1t is not
brown off rapidly. Disastrous frosts
learIy always occur on clear bright
lights.

Republican and Solomon Rivers Are
Higher Than i'm 1908.

The tracks of the Superior branch
OF the Santa Fe are washed out Just
above concordia and the morning
train was forced to turn around at
that point. The agent here has re-
celved the information that the Re
publican river is out Of It's banks
and has flooded and undermined
much Of their track near Concordia.
From Solomon comes the report
that at that point the Solomon river
Is 10 feet above low water mark and
that a IL foot rise above that is ca
peeted tonight. BeIOit reports that
the river at that point Is higher than
Il vas during the food Of 1903.

MAY BE FORCED TO ARREST
IN ORDER TO GET POLL TAXES

Marshal Engle, who has been APP
pointed to collect the road tax reports
THAT 27O collections Of So each have
been made; amounting to $3.50. ~
This is only a part of the money
which is due, and to collect from
all taxable parties 1t may be neces-
sary to take advantage of the pro-
vision for such cases made in the
law passed by our last legislature.
This law after providing for the tax
goes on to say: provided, that If
any such person shall fail to pay
such tax within thirty days after
the receipt of a notice from the
township trustee, or the proper Of
ficer Of the city, that said tax is
due, the person so failing shall upon
conviction thereof be adjudged guilty
of a misdemeanor and fined in the
sum of five dollars. And 1t is hereby
made the duty Of the township trus-
tee or proper officer of the city to
give such notice to every person on
or before the first day of Septem-
ber."
This makes rather drastic meas
ure and almost anyone would rather
pay the SO tax than be fined IS for
refusing to pay It.

That United States mail pouch,
routed from Raleigh to New York,
and containing $4,000, disappeared
two weeks ago in a manner similar to
the recently reported $4,000 theft of
a pouch at Lynchburg, Va, became
known here today Beyond admitting
the loss of the package, the officials
refuse to discuss the matter
It is declared, unoficially, that the
Raleigh pouch disappeared after being
receipted for by mail clerk on a
northbound train passing here and
that the clerk in whose custody IL
was last placed has been suspended
from the service pending an investiga
ton. The pouch was handled by the
local post Office and later transferred
to the mail clerk now under suspen
sion. 1t is said he remembered seeing
and checking it. but that he did no
detect its loss until he reached the
end of his run. The name of thu
clerk is withheld and it is said hi
suspension is on the grounds of care

Spaniard, drifted about for thirty-one
days and was nearly dead and de-

the British steamer Ikaria, which
reached New York yesterday.
Rodriguez was on the verge Of col

Caracas he hired small boat to go
fishing, and was blown off shore by a
storm. He had on board demijohn
of drinking water, but for food had to
depend upon fish he was able to
catch.
After the damijohn of water was
exhausted he managed to trap enough

Sharks jumped over the nine-inch
free board of his frail craft, the sun
burned his body and the salt water
that leaked in through the seam in
the bottom of his home built boat
caused blisters, to give agonizing pain
to his limbs.
But throughout the long tenure oi

did not lose courage. He kissed the
little crucifix that he wore about his
neck and never lost faith but that il

DEs MONIES, Nov. T.. Judge James

saloon petitions OF consent in Des
Moines are valid. Des Moines will

court holds.
The decision will be appealed at
once by the dry forces to the supreme
court.
The court holds that the petition
contains 1853 valid signatures which
is 445 more than necessary.
It is the contention of the "drys''
that many of the names on the con.
sent petition were secured by fraudu-
lent and dishonest methods and that
the netition shows the duplication OF
many names. The trial to contest the
validity of the petition covered a
period Of five months.
