sehenck's Sea-Weed Tonic.

In the atmosphere experienced here during
the summer months, the lethargy produced
by the heat takes away the desire for whole
some food, and frequent Preparations reduce
bodily energy, particularly those suffering
from the effects OF debilItating diseases In
order TO keep q natural healthful activity of
the system we must resort to artificial means.
For this purpose SchencS's Sea Weed Tonic
is very etfectual. a few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia 1t is Invaluable. Many
eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently. cured by the
drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic In Its nature
is totally different from such drugs. 1t con-
tains no corrosive minerals or acids; In fact It
assists the regular operations OF nature and
supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in Its
nature so much resembles the gastric Juice
that 1t Is almost identical with that fluid.
TIL gastric Juice Is the natural solvent which,
in a healthy condition OF ,thebody causes the
food to be digested; and when this Juice is not
excreted in sufficient quantities, indigestion,
with all Its distressing symptoms follow. The
Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the
gastric juice when the latter. Is deficient.
Shenct's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all drug
gists. jy3-eodlm

Six Elephants in a Pautomimo.

Adam Forepaugh's great combina-
ton of Menagerie, Circus, Museum,
Aquarium, etc, which is to exhibit
here on Friday, August 10, presents
several novel features worthy of espe-
cial notice. One is the performance of
six educated Elephants. They will
appear at the same time, under the
guidance of Master Ad. Forepaugh, II
youth of only sixteen years. These
learned pach! derms appear in a grand
dress parade, and also form their pom
derous bodies into huge living pyramids,
and engage in an amatory e~lephantine
ballet, ''rivaling the famed premieres
of the Black Crook in coquetry and
%dalliance," SO says a recent exchange.
1t should also be remembered that one
of the troupe, Mrs. Minerva, is the
mother of a promising ''baby" ele-
plant, but a few weeks old, who is also
to be seen in the m~enagerie.
The Museum and Circus departments
are not only abreast, but ahead, of any
thing of the kind ever seen here.
The present is Forepaugh's twelfth
annual tour.

The Voyagers Return.

Messrs. j. W. L. Griffith, II. NJ.
Griffin, Thomas Edwards and George
S. Steele, comprising the party of young
men who started from Denver on July
18th, bound for st. Louis by water, re-
turned to Denver Saturday, having pro-
ceeded as far as Buffalo, beyond which
point they could not navigate on ac-
count of shallow water. Buffalo is by
water course, II hundred and fifty
miles from Denver, and the distance
was accomplished in eight days. The
trip was a pleasant one, devoid of acct
dent but not Of incident. They sold
their boats and outfit to Il camping
party and returned by stage aad rail.

TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

There are some newspaper proprie-
tors who dare not claim their souls as
their own; they have no opinion on any
subject, nor do they express positive
praise or condemnation of anything or
anybody, for fear of treading upon
somebody's toes. We have a charac-
ter of that kind in this city who, as he
has told an attache of this office, makes
it a practice to watch THE LEADERS
u~tterances in regard to persons and
events hereabouts, and to interview the
parties whom he supposes to be Offend
ed by THE LEADERS, comments. In
these interviews he will sympathize
with these sufferers, explain to them
the Outrageous" course pursued by
the steam journal, and beg foy twenty
five cents for his paper, which, he prom
Uses, shall make all things right. The
deluded newspaper sufferers generally
fork over two bits, and Slack goes on
his way rejoicing.

The Coming Opera.

The st. Louis Globe says: The Rich
ings-Bernard English Opera company
opened Il season of one week at the
Opera house last evening, and met with
a very cordial reception. There was a
good and highly appreciative audience
in attendance last night, and the opera
Mauritania" was rendered with good
effect by a strong cast and full chorus
and orchestra. Mrs. Caroline Richings-
Bernard is 4 fine artistic and an excel
lent directress. The troupe is stronger
than it was when here last. The prin-
cipal added strength is 4 new tenor,
Harry Gates. Mrs. Richings-B Bernard
has lost non of her voice, and her ex-
cellent acting qualities are as conspicu-
IL as ever. She won the audience at
once last night by her song, ''The Harp
in the Air." and carried the role of
Mariana through triumphantly.
Tickets are now on sale ut the P. o.

OBITUARY.

Father Z. 3. Pease passed ''over the
river'' Monday morning at 6 o'clock.
He had been failing steadily for months,
and the event was neither sudden or
unexpected. Deceased was born Sept.
9th, 1906, being not quite Il years of
age at the time of his death. For the
past forty years he has been Il promin-
ent working member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and he died
amid the surroundings of II Christian
home, his beloved wife and dutiful
children about him, full of faith
in the eternal life of the brighter
and better world to which he has gone.
Deceased was born in Litchiel2,
Conn, but moved to Central New
York when that state was considered
as far west as is Oregon now. In 1856
Mr.. Pease came Oh west to Knox Co.,
III. In 1850, accompanied by his son.
w. D., he crossed the plains and the
snowy range, going to the headwaters
of the Colorado river, and visiting
Georgia Gulch. Returning to Illinois
he remained there about twelve years,
when he again-moved west, coming to
Cheyenne.
Deceased has resided in Cheyenne for
over five years, and was highly res
pected by our people. He leaves a
wife, two daughters, Mrs. Underwood
| and Mrs Gleazen. and a son. Mr.. w. ID.
Pease, to mourn his loss.
The funeral will take place from the
Methodist church at 10 O'Clock this
morning. Rev. w. F. Warren will
conduct the services. All friends of
the family are invited to attend.

Accidentally Slmt.

y distressing accident occurred at
Lake Mah-pi-yah-luta, last Sunday, by
which Ernest Phistrer, an employe at
Freund Bros. Armory, was very
seriously wounded. This gentleman
has been conducting a shooting gallery
at the lake in question for some weeks,
and on Sunday Il party stopped there
and began firing at the target. All
went well until j. G. Mills, late an en-
ploye at the Armory, began shooting.
The weapon he used was Il Remington
pistol which Phistrer himself fixed up
for target shooting. Mills fired a few
shots, when the weapon became clog
ged up and would not go off. Turning
around he began examining it, and
found that the movable rifle breech of
the weapon was not in place. The
hammer had been loosened, and Mills
pushed the breech into place. As he
did so the hammer descended with
sufficient force to discharge the car
fridge, and the ball, which was of D.
loO SdiIoiS- BdSot'i II CiC bpelpiicli ch
Mr.. Phistrer, inflicting Il painful and
what may prove Il fatal wound.
1t is useless to warn people in regard
to handling firearms with caution. So
long as rifles, pistols and shotgun3 are
used, accidents will happen, and we
presume Mr.. Mills feels the keenest
regret over his criminal carelessness,
so that we need not add thereto by
harsh reflections. He has had n lesson
which we hope be will profit by.

ANYTHING 20 BEAT CHEYENNE.

We do not often pay attention to
Hayford's slurs upon Cheyenne and its
people, for he is so we'll known in this
community that no one would believe
him under oath, so far as his statements
in regard to Cheyenne are concerned.
There is not a public nan or institution
in this county that has not at some time
been misrepresented and villifed by
him, and all this without reasonable
cause or provocation. 1t Seems strange
that he should persist in this course,
even after his appointment as Postmas-
ter at Laramie City, which should have
cured the ';sorehead" lie displayed on
all occasions in former years; but even
that potent salve, while it suddenly
changed him from a bitter, personal
opponent of our leading public men
to the worst toady and l~ickspittle that
eyer disgraced journalism, has not
estopped his uncalled Tor, malicious
prosecutions of Cheyenne and its peo-
pie.
AS Il recent instance OF Hayford's
contemplate meanness we copy from
the Sentinel of July 9th, the follow
ing:
We got no mail of any kind from
Cheyenne last night. 1t is supposed
the Cheyenne office committed one of
its usual plumbers and sent its western
mail east.
While he wrote the foregoing, Hay
ford knee that the Cheyenne sack had,
by a mistake of the Railway Postal
clerk, been thrown off the cars as a
''go-back,'' when the eastward and
westward bound trains met near Haz-
ard OH that day. The mail was there
fore carried east until the next west
ward bound train was met. Hayford
knew all this, but indited the above
paragraph out of pure, unauthorized
cussedness, ~instigated by a malignant
desire to injure the employees of the
Cheyenne p~ostolice, the most reliable
and trustworthy officials ever intrusted
with the L. 5. mails in this city. Fur
Their comment would be superauous.

The HEIGHT Of impudeIcc.

1t will be remembered that on the
occasion of one of the heaviest stage
robberies some weeks ago, the gang of
white Indians who did the job sent
word to Luke Voorhees, that they de-
sired him to "send up some gold scales,
as dividing dust with a spoon was not
always satisfactory" About IL week
ago Luke received a message from a
gang who robbed the up-bound coach,
stating that they had received the gold
scales asked for, and were deeply CRATE
full, and that if he would be so kind as
to renew the shipment of gold dust,
temporarily stopped, their happiness
would be complete.
Voorhees, didn't know what this mes
sage meant until yesterday, when he
received notice from his Deadwood
agent, Mr.. Bartlett, stating that he
had paid the owner for a pair of gold
scales which were stolen from the
northbound coach OH the same day the
mysterious message was dated, and
fully explained the matter.

A Worthy Hnmn Ensernriss.

People who ride in fine carriages,
and wish to have their vehicles look
well and keep in good running order
all the time, should by all means pay a
visit to the Cheyenne Carriage Works,
and inspect the really elegant work
being turned out there by Mr.. n.
Robertson.
1t is not necessary to send east for
buggies, carriages or light. spring
wagons. Robertson employs skilled
workmen, has had years of experience
in the business, and turns out as good
work as can be done anywhere. His
prices are very reasonable AMI he de-
serves the patronage Of the people of
Wyoming.

NO

The Cheyenne Gazette does not an
swer our question as to the present diff
ference between Republicanism and
Democracy i'll this country. If there is
no difference, if no important political
issues are at stake, why draw party
lines in the coming election for men,
bers of the legislature? Why not elect
the best men we have, no matter wheth-
er they formerly have voted with the
Democratic or Republican party. Party
lines are so indistinct in this section,
that people generally vote for whom
they please anyhow, selecting the best
men from the tickets placed in nominal
ton.

The Fort Pierre Stage Line Thieves.

Passengers are unanimous in the be-
lief that the driver was implicated in a
recent robbery of a Fort Pierre stage.
There were several circumstances that
point to him as their confederate. His
name is Jim Sweeney. The authori-
ties at Yankton will probably do moth
ing. The robbers who perpetrated this
outrage reside at Tom Madden's ranch,
on the North Cheyenne. This ranch is
the resort of a gang of murderers and
den are two of the most desperate
characters that infest the Black Hills.
1t is believed by some of the passen-
gers that Charley Madden was IL of
the party that robbed the stage. 1t is
also reported that this gang ian off the
large herd OF horses from Spring ranch
a few days before, and that they muir
dered Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner, in Indian
disguise, in order to conceal their
theft. This ranch is the changer spot''
on the Fort Pierre route, and passen-
gers and pilgrims are clamorous for a
cleaning out"
The Fort Pierre and Deadwood stage
company has collapsed. Its members
are at loggerheads with each other.
Some of them are too poor to be useful
and the others are too stingy to pay
their debts. None of the drivers have
been paid off, and the stock is very
poorly fed and in miserable condition.
Some of the partners have gobbled more
than their share of the funds, and the
company is badly involved in debt.
The horses are being sold to pay the
debts.

THE STRIKE AND IT'S EFFECTS.
A Practical Review of the Situation - At
fairs in Missouri.
KANSAS CITY, No., July 2s

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 2S.
To the Editor IF The Leader:
1.-THE striker is the word now in
everybody's mouth, and there is no
theory or fear or prediction too wild
that it may not be preached OIL stated
! by some one. One fact is apparent.
The railroad men who struck had no
idea of the trouble which would arise
| from it, but were like a man striking a
match in a powder house. The country
was just in the condition to take fire OH
the slightest encouragement. Other
agencies had heaped up the inflammable
material-the strikers happened to be
the ones who lighted the fire. Once
started by the strikers, and the conf
munists quietly took it off their hands.
All the dishonest and indOlent and
criminal, the thieves, burglars, tramps,
pardoned convicts and all who love
riot and ruin better than law and order,
| swarmed out like wolves that had
scented their prey. 1t is to
call this q labor movement" for Ia
boring men have in the last few days
fought to the peril of their lives, and,
in some cases, perhaps, lost them fight
ing the mobs of communists that came
to force them to strike.
A great deal may be said IN both
sides of the question. The shrinkage
in values has touched the railroad COM
panies, and they are threatened with
bankruptcy, and must do something.
Nowthey have only the choice between a
devil of a strike and a deep sea of fnan-
cial ruin. But the shoe pinches every
where and the men say it is the
struggle for existence, =" and they have
the choice between doing without bread
and taking it by force.
There are some men of standing who
predict that the agriculturists, who are
one-half of our population, will join the
laborers in a refusal to be taxed to pay
interest on bonded Indebtedness. From
this a step will lead back to primeval
chaos and as has ever been the case in
the worlds history
'Behind the mob stalks Cesar
The desire to accumulate makes men
desire law and order; if they cannot
have it in the way they want it they
will have ii in the next best way they
can get it. These occurrences are to
us probably what the Wat Tyler mobs
were to England, and we will survive
them, but until our institutions are
further tested the 4th of July orator
cannot with any ordinary prudence let
the eagle oar to Il great altitude.
The stagnation in business in the
states is unprecedented. Most firms
are e%ncroaching on their capital. a few
fortunate ones are making expenses.
The only satisfactory thing in this state
of affairs and outbreak is that every
one is satisfied that it is owing to not
following his advice. Intlationists
hard money, tariff and no-tariff-each
says to the Others II told you so all the
time" G.. W. il.

Judge Carter has built some extern
sive stock shipping yards between Car
ter and Church Buttes, on the Union
Pacific railroad, and is likely to make
that a prominent shipping point for
stock driven from Montana, Idaho,
Utah and the west. BY shipping stock
there, parties avoid the long drive
through the Green River and Bitter
Creek valleys, where there is no feed,
and this alone will make it a desirable
shipping point from the far west.
