I 'l'he cool weather and frosts last week did not confinc them- sclves to either Custer county or Nebraska , but seem to have cast blighting effects in a number of states , practically paralyzing the fruit crop for this year 11 ] at least two states , Missouri and Kansas , which are exlensive producers of the luscious. W. H. Barnes , secretary of thc State Horlicullural society of Kansas , made 'a scven days tour of thc fruit growin belt of that state and upon bis rcturn to Topeka said : "The fruit J3 practically all killed. I'll just sum it up that way. The fros'ts and cold weather have despoiled Kansas of at least $2,000,000. The loss on enc orchard I examined - ined , belonging to ( i'red WeU- : house , will aggregate at leb.st $40,000 I was in many places , but there is little need for me to point out any spots. where the damage was done. It is practically - cally alike everlwhere. Th fruit is kilted. ' 1 he apples are all goqe , with the possible ex. ception of the Janet variety , a late bloomer. It wilt be like one or two other seasons I have been here , when the Janet was the only apple we had on the trees. The J onathans , Ganas and Ben Davis are all dead. Th fruit has turned a jet black. Peaches are gone , too , although here anel there the growers have a little hope of getting a few , but they will be few and far between. Many of the peaches were as big as peas , and never clid we have better prospects for a great crop of that fruit. Thc cherries are not only killed , but the foliage on the trees is badly damaged , and I doubt not but that mauy of tlJe trees thcmselves are lnjured , " Heports from Missouri are much thc same as those from Kans s with the exceplion that th frosb were not quitc as severe. Nc\v. York also reporls frosts heavy enough to injure the fruit crop to a limited extcnt , so prices wiU undoubtedly be gr.at- ly abovelthe usual. - - - - Another Monument. Not many 'years ago Amcrfcan silks were held in derision. Now they occupy a forcmost place in thc market , and tha number of looms in operation ranges between - tween 50,000 anel 60,000. The output , including silks , ribbons and. plushest was valued at nearly $92,600,000 , in 1900 , and there is no doubt it has becn largely increased since the census year. i Yct silk is one of the articles which free-traders insisted could not be made here to advantage , and every time the Democratic tariff reformers got a chance they cut down the duty. The increasing - ing magnitude of the American s Jk industry is another monument - ment to the efficacy of the republican - publican policy of protecti n. One Robber of Ed. Myers Convicted.

Edwin l . : 'Ilyers , who has a ranch in Nebraska , had the pleasure of seeing one of the men convicted before Judge Rosalsky yester- Ity.Myers left his ranch last Sel'tember to t -gin his third year as a student. lie. ( des his loose change he had :1 draft for : f:1 : 500 in his pocket. . . Wum ju reached tHI.i-Grand CClltal , ; tatioll , carryillhfs / satchel , he was met hy n plea milt fellow. who in the cOllrse of a conversation , said he was John McCormick. He did not add , however , that his photograph was in the rogues' gallery. lIe accompanied Myers to the Fifth Avenue hotel , where he registered. and then , to make mallers pleasant for the stranger in a strange clly , he invite him to dinner. The meal was a gOJd one and then McCormick suggestell that they playa game of pool. They wandered into - to the Tenderloin , and while they were playing two friends of McCormick entered - tered and were introduced to Myers. The talk turned upon belling on the different shots , and when Myers made a difficult one he was told that he had won $ [ ,500. He did not recall at the dinner table he had mentioned to McCormick that he had a draft for that amount in his pOl'ket. nut as he had not put up the cash McCormick said he would not pay. but promised to meet the student the lollowing ( lay , when , if he llad the money in cash , he would bet him that he could not make the same shot ag'l ' n. Delighted at the prospect , Myers had his draft cashed promptly and went to the pool room. There he met McCormick - Cormick and his two friends. lie said he had the cash with him and was ready to stake it on his skill. fIe was asked to show it and did so , producing three $500 bills. Immediately one of the others grahbed the money from his han an as l\f'ers rushed at him McCormick an ihe other fellow interfered Bn the thief got a way. Then McCormick fnund a way to dleappear. This experience the stu ent relate to young Mr. Root , who took him to Assistant District AHorney Krotel. Mc , Cormick was arres\e and convicted. , . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' - - - - - - T' Money : If your house needs paint let the experience of others more than half pay for the work by using Wk Y f4pnH .

Watch n Lltchfiel < 1Mnnure Sprea er working and you will wonder what method is used to get such even results , through Utud , san , slush or snow , with the ground frozen or otherwise , with fast horses nnd with slow ones , always working and never refusing to do business. The facts aretthis machine has been reduced to a liclentlfic basis in applying the power for distrubiUng the load. The manufac\urers have one awe ) ' with the old fashione plan of riving one part of the machine - chine froUl one wheel and another part froUl the other wheel. It has been emonstrnted thoroughly that both traction wheels on a manure spreader shoul be so arranged that they will each o an equal proportion oi the work. The Litchfield Spreader takes 1\11 the power frollt both traction wheels direct to one large gear and froUt this gear the work of m ving the load and operating the beatcr wheel is istribut- cd in proportion to the requircments. . Listen , only half the traction or that coming froUt the left wheel fs applIe to the axle. 'l'he right traction wheel applies its work direct to the large genr in ependent of the axle. Note that the axle therefore has only half the twisting strain which other machines apply to it where both traction wheels rive thro gh the axle. JUEt cOUlpare this with those machines that rive the beater wheel with one traction wheel an drive the conveyor with another. This puts froUl 70 to 9 < > per cent of the 10n(1 On the beater wheel si e an froUl 10 to 25 per cent of the load on the other side. Plainly this it ! a nstruction an is what you do not fin in the Litchfield I Come ; in , an see this spren er an see not only the features a eve I referre to , but also the traction grip \hat this machine hils both on the ground and on the people who know it ) est.
