THE NEW STOCK spEcuLATloNs.

The new combination method of oper-
ating in stocks which Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., Bankers, N. Y, have inaugural
ed, is attracting unusual attention in
financial circles, by reason of its re-
markable success. A customer in Pro-
violence, invested nine times and made
over 5000 in three months, by using
from $50 to $500 capital. BY this sy-
stem, orders from thousands of GUS
toners, in various sums, are pooled in
to one immense capital, and operated
as a mighty whole, thus giving to each
shareholder all the advantages of vast
capital and shrewdest skill. Profits are
divided every 80 days. Any amount
from 80 TO $4,000 can be used in
Messrs. Lawrence s Co.'s combin-
ations with equal proportionate success.
s15 will make S75 profit in the mouth.
5000 will return $1,000, or 8 per cent.
on the stock, and SO on as the market
varies. The new circular gives '.two
unerring rules for success and shows
how any one can operate probably.
Mailed free. Stocks and bonds want
ed. Government bonds supplied. APP

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.

The people of Laramie City are agi-
tating the capital question strongly; so
are the people of Rawlins. The re-
moval of the capital from Cheyenne is
the leading political issue in the coun-
ties of Albany and Carbon. 1t is there
fore certain that a bill for the removal
of the capital will be presented in the
next legislature. Now no citizen of
Cheyenne need be told that it is neces-
sary to have a representation from this
county hat will be true to its interests.
We need men who will work and vote
against the removal in a manner that
guarantees success. Men who have
everything to lose by a removal and
nothing to gain. Men who have the
honor to stand by their constituents.
There have grave doubts arisen as to
the position that would be assumed by
Mr.. E. A. Slack in the event of his
election to the council. 1t is well
known that he has always leaned fondly
toward the western counties. In Lar
annie City he has ever appealed for pat
ronage on the plea that he was and is a
fast friend to Albany county. and that
friendship hurts him in Cheyenne.
Thus he confesses his opposition to the
interests Of this county.
Again: Mr.. Slack, some time since.
started a paper in Rawlins, the Carbon
County Journal. He is therefore inter-
ested in Rawlins. A correspondent of
the Laramie Times from that town
wrote eight weeks ago that "Mr. Slack
has every confidence in the future capt.
tai of Wyoming.n The correspondent
praised the efforts Of Mr.. Slack in es-
tablishing a paper at that point. Fur
thermore: MI. Thompson, the manager
of the Journal, has distinctly informed
the business men Of Rawlins that the
Journal was in favor of the removal Of
the capital. Until this pledge was
made the business men there would
give no encouragement to the new
paper.
Now we submit if a man with divid-
ed interests, like Mr.. Slack, can be a
true friend of Cheyenne and Laramie
county? What is more natural than
that he should favor the removal of the
capital to Rawlins? True, he has a
paper in Cheyenne, but as it has lost
whatever influence it once possessed,
and is a losing concern financially, it
would be a most gracious turn, If he
could but boost Rawlins into a capital,
and remove his whole outfit to that
point.
OF course Mr.. Slack may deny that
he is more friendly to Rawlins than
Cheyenne. 1t is only natural under
the circumstances that he should. But
we ask if the facts, plainly, truthfully
and dispassionately stated, do not
weigh heavily against him2 Laramie
county and the city of Cheyenne have
no use for a halfway or doubtful man
in the coming crisis. Positive men are
wanted. Mr.. Slack is not positive.
He is doubtful, to say the least, too
doubtful to trust, too doubtfol to be
safe.

From Among thu Iu!u>,
l was out after pofcuplnes, and was
lying down one night near a porcupine's
hole, waiting for him to come out. l
had no gun, but only my hunting-knife
and a large knob kerrie with which to
knock the %porcupine On the nose; for
that as you know, kills him at once. l
did not hear a sound until / found the
grass near mt move and a lion got his
paw on mt and lifted me up. The brute
pressed his claws into me, but, luckily,
my leather belt prevented his teeth
from damaging me, and he carried me,
holding on to my belt and coat. II eth
er of these had given way 1 should have
been laid hold Of in u far more rough
manner. A lion is like q cat in one
thing-he can hold a live creature in
his mouth and not damage it, just as l
have seen a cat carry a mouse. / knew
the nature of the lion well enough to
know that if / struggled l should have
my neck broken or my head smashed
in an instant, so / did not struggle, but
quietly drew my knife and thought
what vas best to do. 1 thought at first
of trying to strike him in the heart, but
/ could not reach that part of him, and
his skin looked so loose that / could not
strike deep enough, carried as l was. 1
knew it would be life or death
with me in an instant, S o turning my
self a bit, 1 gashed the lion nose and
cut it through. The lion dropped me
as l should drop a poisonous snake, and
jumped away roaring with pain. He
stood for an instant looking at me,
but / did not move, and he did not
seem to like to carry me again. More
t%hanIonce he came up to within a few
yards, licking the blood as it poured
from his nose; but there l remained like
a stone, and he was fairly afraid to
tackle me again. i know a buffalo and
an OK are very sensitive about the nose,
and a cat, if just tipped on the nose,
can't stand it, so / thought a lionmight
be the same, and so it proved.

AS TO

The question of the eligibility of
Major Glafcke for membership in the
legislature has been raised. There is
no doubt about it whatever. In the or
ganic act of Wyoming (page XII, sec.
8, compiled laws,) the following Ian
guage occurs +: "And no person hold
ing a commission or appointment under
the United States, except postnaasters,
shall be a member of the Legislative as
sembly."
1t is therefore plain that Major
Glafcke is perfectly eligible to a mem
bership In the legislative assembly, the
organic law expressly permitting a post
master to become such. 1t will be borne
in mind that while Mr.. France was a
member OF the council he was also post
master at Rawlins, and 1t is well also
to remember that Mr.. /. n. Bard is a
postmaster, at Little Bear; Frank
Wolcott, who is a candidate for the leg
islature in Albany county, is also a post
master. Postmasters are eligible, and
don't you forget it.

Indian Education.


;: The system of cheating the Indians
having failed to solve the Indian prob
lem, the Washington authorities have
had the happy thought of trying the
policy of education. The first expert
ment in this direction was made some
time ago at st. Augustine, Florida,
and more recently a number of young
Indians have been entered MS pupils ut
the Hampton, Virginia, FORMAL insti-
tute. The results thus far attained at
both places have been so encouraging
that the interior department has con-
cluded to extend the operations of the
system. I.iegt. Pratt, of the army,
who has had much experience in the
work of Indian education, both at st.
Augustine and Hampton, has beer de-
tailed to take charge of II new school
for young Indians which it is proposed
to open at Carlisle barracks in the fall.
The progress of this educational insti-
tuition will be watched with great in
terest. 1t has usually been found that
a race of men was improved by learn
ing something, and there does not seem
to be any reason why this rule should
not apply to people with copper-colored
features. But the instructors at Car
Isle will need to keep close watch over
their pupils and see that they don't get
in the habit of running over to Har-
risburg and taking lessons in politics.
The densest Indian ignorance would be
poorly exchanged for an education in
Pennsylvania olitics.-LPhiladelphia
Times.

The Indian has got into politics
at last, says the Rocky Mountain
News. The Democrats of Nebraska
have highly resolved that it is the
bad conduct of the Republican par
ty that has caused all the trouble
with the Indians, and has "turned
loose upon cur frontiers organized
bands of enraged savages,n and the
people are advised to vote for the
Democratic candidate for Regent Of
the University, in order to protect
themselves from the tomahawk.-
This is amusing, but it is about as
near to common sense as party plat
forms usually come.
