Is Your Life Worth 10 cen,s7

Sickness prevails everywhere, and
every body complains of some disease
during their life. When sick, the OBJ
ject is to get well; now to say plainly
that no person in this world that is suf-
fering with dyspepsia, liver complaint
and its effects, such as indigestion, cos
tiveness, sick headache, sour stomach,
heartburn, palpitation of the heart, de-
pressed spirits, lbilliousness, ETC., can
take Green's August Flower with
out getting relief and cure.
If you doubt this, go to your druggists,
Addoms & Glover, and get a sample
bottle for 10 cents and try it, or a regu-
lar size for as cents. milf

THE SIDNEY STAGE sULLDozeO AGAIN.
CAMp RoprNsoN. NEB.. AUG. "a

CAMP ROBINSON, NEB., Aug. "a.
The Sidney coach from Deadwood
was stopped last night above Buffalo
Gap by five road agents, who fired into
the coach before the word was given to
halt.
Ed Cook, division superintendent of
the stage line, was shot through the
ear. The robbers secured twelve dol
lars out Of about a thousand In possess
sion of the passengers.
One passenger in obeying an order to
throw up his hands, drew up five hum
dred dollars with them. 1t being dark
it was not noticed by the robbers. g
This morning Cook raised a party
and went in search of the robbers, but
was met by u large band of Indians,
who drove himself and party back to
the Agency.

The principal issues before the people
- LAranis cSanty IN - pending cam
psign are ths proposition to extend aid
to the Colorado Central and Black Hills
railroads, and reduction of taxation to
be brought about by retrenchment in
the management of our local affairs.
1t Is known that the candidates, placed
in the field by the Democratic conven-
ton, are unanimously in favor Of the
First named project, and pledged to car
~ 1t into effect In so far as they may
DO able to do 30. The latter proposi-
ton was LIFT an open question by the
late Democratic convention, and In or
der to ascertain the sentiment of the
nominees on this important question,
We have called on each candidate and
put the following question:
care you In favor of, and will you
vote, If elected to the Legislature, in
support Of any measure that may come
before 1t, having in view retrenchment
and reduction Of taxation by means of
cutting down the fees Of county officials
to a fair salary for services rendered,
and by such other means as will de-
crease the county expenditures to the
lowest possible figure commensurate
with the requirements of the public
service Of Laramie county,"
The writer respectfully asked for the
simple answer: "Yes" or "No."
The above. question was read over to
each and every one Of the candidates
who have thus far been nominated, and
below we give the ausxers received.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1877-08-26
below we give the answers received:

Mr.. R. F. Glover, the remaining
nominee, expressed himself heartily
and unequivocally in favor of retrench-
ment by the means here indicated; but
said he had not decided to accept the
nomination for representative, as he
would be unable to devote the time and
attention required by a conscientious
performance of the duties of the office,
should he be elected.
From the foregoing u citizens will
observe that the important issue of re-
trenchment will also receive the unani-
nous support of the above named gen.
tlemen, should they be called to seats
in the Fifth Legislative Assembly of
Wyoming Territory.

II y c01ya short time since the pro-
pg3etor Of the Laramie Independent,
spld out to the Democratic party of
Albany county, got his blood-money,
and then went back on the very men
who bought him. This is one of
Sacks speculations that did not pan
out well for him. Everything went
wrong with him after that; his former
| political associates turned their backs to
him, the men who had bought him for
temporary use, cursed him for his
treachery, and the public at large des-
pissed him. The motive power in run
ming a newspaper, as well as everything
else-bread and butter-began to be
pretty thin around the Laramie Inde-
pendent Office, and Slack had to look
around for other pastures and fields
where a man of his varied experience
and easy virtue might make an honest
penny.
About this time u bargain was en-
tered into by some Of our machine
politicians, which necessitated a change
In the newspaper business Of our sister
city Of Laramie. 1t was agreed with
Hayford to give him control of the
field in Albany county by removing all
competition. Slack had to go some-
where else, and where could be found
a more promising field than Cheyenne;
where THE LEADER had for so many
years withstood the bulldozing of these
very same machine politicians. They
were In need of an organ, and were
willing to pay for its music, and Slack
jumped at the chance to get away from
a place where he had so thoroughly
played out. OF course, the articles of
agreement contained many conditions
to which he had to subscribe; the most
important one being a pledge to make
1t hot for Claiche and squelch THE
LEADER-even II he were obliged, in
this labor Of love, to fight against the
best interests of his new home. Our
readers have ere this observed how
faithful the Independent-Sun is to its
proprietor's pledges. He has done his
level best to squelch THE LEADER,
and that the pioneer steam-journal
would not squelch, is not his fault.
The aforementioned bargain entered
into between Hayford, Slack and the
machine politicians, included also an
offensive and defensive alliance between

The failure of Congress to make ap-
preparation for the pay of the army,
also affects the Signal Service, and this
too comes home to Cheyenne. Sergeant
Dobbins is working without salary and
must do SO until Congress meets. 1t
is a burning shame that honest, indus
trious men, with families depending
upon them, should be treated in this
way by q great government.
