The new tariff bill is a law, and sugar has gone up nearly a cent a pound. Cheap carpets are a thing of the past and the housewife will have to pay a fourth more for her dishes. Cattle in the western part of the state, near New Castle, are nfllicted with inflamation of the eyes. They are sometimes left permanently blind. The disease is not contagious. It is the wrong time of year to go to Alaska. Among the thou sands now on the way to that region many will not see day light after the six months night it will be all night with some. Tuesday 18,393 head of cattle arrived at Kansas City. This is the greatest number on record, arriving in one day. The rush to the market is attributed to the drouth. Priees fell 20 to 40$. - When the insurgents can run into the suburbs of Havana* as they have done, with sheir rapid fire guns and loot every public place, it leads one to believe the great Spanish army lying there is of little use in protecting the only loyal city on the island. Saturday, Sunday and Monday were hot days. They brought hot winds and destruction to the Kan sas corn crop. This may cause the price of cattle to drop in the feeding districts, and those on the western ranges may have to be kept an extra year before market ing. 11 will cost a man S3OO at San Francisco to get food and an outfit to take to the Klondyke, and an other S3OO to freight it in, besides $l5O fare; that makes $750 cost to get there with food to lastone year Tho cost of getting bock depends on how many toes you have left to travel with.

The deadly disease known as black leg, appears to be more prevalent In Colorado among the cattle than ever before and is spreading to an alarming extent. State Veterinarian Greswell this morning received a letter from a cattle man near Lockett, Colorado, informing him that twenty-two head of his cattle had just died from the disease.—Ex. Although Elizabethtown is an old mining town it is only for the past two or three years that lode mining has received much atten tion.

Klondyke might be a good place to hunt gold and get rich, but t here is considerable doubt as to its location and resources for making it a noted health resort. The chances for living long enough to find a fortune in that land of iceburgs are undoubtedly slim, especially lor people who have lived in a temperate climate all their days. Health is wealth and happiness, while a person with a debilitated constitution and with boodle galore might as well he an inmate of Satan’s citulel. If you want to enjoy good health and get rich, go to Carriso. —Sheridan Lake Press. WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. F. 11. Brandenburg, Observer. Denver, Colorado. For Week Ending last Monday. Notwithstanding maximum tem peratures in the 90’s, the nights have been cool, with minimum temperatures in the 50’s in most sections and in the 40’s in San Luis Park. The hot and dry weather of the past week has been timely for hay making, har vesting, and threshing, but lack of rain has caused corn to be injured in localities. The rainfall has been scattered and generally light. Showers occurred near the close of the week at a few points on the western slope and over the north central section and the northeast ern counties, the rain being mod erately heavy in localities in the latter section. In the southwest ern part of the state practically no rain has fallen, and the same is true of'the San Luis Park. The harvest of wheat and oats is under way in the northcentrnl section and on the western slope and threshing is progressing satisfacto rily in the Arkansas valley. Wheat is everywhere reported above an average crop, but the oat. crop is only fair, as a rule. Pota toes continue promising: early potatoes are being dug in the eastern border counties. In Pueblo county all fruit gives promise of the heaviest yield in years, and in Freemont county a good crop of early apples is being marketed. Oil the western slope the weather has been generally favorable to all crops, though gusts have shak en oil - considerable fruit. In Delta county the main crop of Alexan der peaches and apricots have been gatficred, and yellow trails parent Dutchess apples are now ripe. Early peaches, summer apples and plums are marketed in Mesa, Garfield, and Montrose counties. The ground is drying out rapidly in San Luis Park; water is getting scarce, the supply being sufficient only for early priorities. Most crops, however, I are beyond the need of irrigation, and give promise ol an abundant harvest. General Harrison’s Book.

There is a little story in connection with both articles and publication. When the arrangments for the articles was made with General Harrison by Edward W. Hole, editor of the Ladies Home Journal, the Gener al was paid for them, with the un derstanding when they were put into book iorm the magazine was to share the royalties accruing therefrom. Air.

Harrison the subscription list ol 1 1 is magazine was enlarged many thousands.
