This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock - with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
effieacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure. aa..
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO etfectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, anu dS many Oh IneSe cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
POSSESSED are strictly maintained.

AS TO

q 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,D the following Ian
guage occurs "And no person hold
ing a commission or appointment under
the United States, except postmasters,
shall be a member Of the Legislative as
sembly." aua1{ % am'9i q.
It is therefore plain that Major
Glafcke is perfectly eligible to a men,
bership in the legislative assembly, the
organic law expresslypermitting post
master to become such. It 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. !,

This brave old German soldier from

ing:
Sufficient reasons have determined

former aide 'de-camps, Benjamin Walk

and to my ralet de chambre all my wear
ing apparel; but I declare that all these
legacies to my servants are to be on
the following conditions: that on my
decease they shall not permit any per-
son to touch my body, not even to change
my shirt in which l shall die, but that
they wrap me up in my old military
cloak, and, in twenty-fonr hours after

His Policy.

hho WHY
From the Detroit Press.
y While n of, the sanitary police was
moving through the alleys of Cass
avenue the other day, he came upon
two bad n~uisances at once One fam
lily had thrown a great heap of garbage
over the fence, and the other had dump
ed over an old mattress and two or
three dead cats. The citizen living be-
tween the two heaps came out to the
fence holding his nose, and the officer
asked:
"How long have these nuisances ex-
istedp"
"Oh, about a month"; was the reply.

The Sun syers lthat Mr.. Greene
Of Fort Laramie has decli1ed The honor
Of a nomination on the new ticket,
This falsehood is in perfect keeping
with the rest of the Suns baseless as
s~ertions. Mr.. Greene has not only not
declined the honor, but has taken off
his coat and set to work. He was noti-
fed of his nomination by Telegraph and
accepted through the same medium.
Then the enemy exetcised its inventive
genius and circulated the rumor that
he had declined the honor. In order to
be assured 2 gentleman telegraphed
Mr.. Greene at Fort Laramie, who soon
replied that he had not and would not
decline, but would be a candidate until
the polls closed on Tuesday evening.
However, citizens may look out
for such falsehoods, and even others.
1t is safe to disbelieve all floating ru-
'mors.

QUERIES ANswEREp.I

-
Maj. Il. Glafcke, proprietor Of the
LEADER, and candidate for the terrific
rial council ION the workingmen's and
peoples ticket, has of late been fire.
quently asked these questions, viz:
"Are you in favor of retrenchment
and reform in the management of our
county affairsP"
"What is your position on the lien
law now in forceP"
This opportunity is taken to answer
the above interrogatories. They are
pertinent, and every citizen has a right
to know just how a candidate stands on
the questions in which he is interested.
1t is with pleasure, therefore, that the
answers are made.
In the first place Mai. Glafcke is in
favor of reducing the salaries of all
county officers, and has SO stated re-
peatedly. 1t is a recognized fact that
in the Encouragement of business
affairs incident to resumption, etc, the
present salaries of county officers might
be reduced somewhat. The property
owners are interested in a decrease of
taxation, and one very powerful method
of securing this is in reducing the sala-
ries. This must be done simply as a
measure of necessary economy. The
present officers would not of course be
affected by a reduction, but their sue
cessors would. There is no reflection
or hardship therefore Oh the present Off
GERS, in advocating reduced salaries for
the future. Expenses must be reduced
wherever possible without serious inju-
ry, and to carry out this platform to
the letter, Maj. Claiche hereby gives
his pledge.
AS to the lien law, Maj. Claiche
takes the position that it should not be
disturbed. "Let well enough alonep
is a motto that well applies to this case.
AS the law stands at present it is right
and just. Everybody understands it,
and poor people appreciate it. Laws
should be made as much to protect the
poor as the rich. The lien law is one
which workingmen can call their own.
Therefore let it remain.

FIRE! FIRE! FIRE.
"A MONDAY MORNING BLAZE.
The Old Overland House Entirely
Destroyed by Fire-Loss About
$I,5oo-Narrow Es-
f-8aG capes. I'll VIZ

About two o'clock this morning the
terrible alarm of fire sounded through
the streets, and soon the streets were
thronged with fremen and spectators
1t was the old Overland house, stu
ated on Eddy street, near Seventeenth,
that was afire, and as it was a frame
structure, the flames spread rapidly.
As the LEADER compositors happened
to be On deck getting out the extra
edition Of the paper they were first to
take a hose jumper, that of the Alerts,
to the fire. The Babcock engine arrived
at about the same time and the rest Of
the companies Immediately afterwards.
The Durant steamer was taken out and
placed over the Eddy street c~istern, but
the supply Of water was soon exhaust
ed. The fire had gained such Roadway
that all hope of saving the building
was abandoned, SO attention was then
turned to saving the adjoining property.
A she'd connecting the burning house
with the frame. building on the corner,
was torn down and several other out
buildings were demolished. The fire
was therefore confined to the Overland
house. This consisted of a two story
frame and a one story frame just beside
it. Both buildings were destroyed, the
loss a~ggregating perhaps 81, 800 and
they are said to be uninsured.
The property is owned by Sarah
Buckley, who is now in Denver, and is
rented by Mrs. Sarah Donnelly, who
owned the furniture. This was all de-
stroyed, entailing a loss to her of over
$3.50. She has no idea how the fire
originated. The first alarm she re-
ceived was from the boarders, who
escaped from their rooms and gave the
alarm from the street. AS Mrs. Donnelly
had her six children sleeping in various
parts of the house, she saved them to
the exclusion of other things. All the
cash she had was under her pillow, and
of course was burned up.
The boarders can't explain how the
fire started. They awoke on account
of partial suffocation by smoke and
jumped out of the windows.
Too much credit cannot be given the
fire department for their conduct at this
fire. The membership of each COM
pany was almost fully represented. AS
to the work done, old firemen say they
never saw a fire of such threatening
proportions put out with only the orig
inal building burned. At n time it
seemed as if the entire block must go,
but pluck and plenty of water van
pushed the flames. Cheyenne has good
reason to be proud of its fire depart

The Boss.

A representative of the LEADER
walked into Freund Bros.' gun manu-
factory yesterday and found them busy
at work with their improvements on
the Sharp rifles and other arms. They
showed us one Of Sharp's with their
improvements attached, which they
have Just put in trim for our we'll
known detective, W. E. Lykins. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Lykins, with his late
experience with Doc. Middleton and his
outlaws, does not want any more of the
"old reliable" in his fights with des-
peradoes. Accordingly he engaged the
Freund Eros. to attach their improve
ments to the Sharp, making it thereby
the only perfect and always reliable arm
in existence, combining in it also speed

THE cAp1rAIsoUEsr1oN.

~
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 1t is neces-
sary to have q representation from this
county that 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. NO.
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" The correspondent
praised the efforts OF Nj. Slack in es-
tablishing a paper at that point. Fur
thermore: Mr.. 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 man with diyid-
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. It is only, natural under
the circumstances that he should, But
we ask if the facts, plainly, truthfully
and dispassionateIy stated, do not
weigh heavily against him? Laramie
county and the city Of Cheyenne have
no use for a half-w 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.

PERSONAL.
Workingmen's and Peoples Candi-
dates.

uatcSs M I
Mr.. Thomas Swan, for the council, is
recognized as a powerful nomination.
Mr.. SWANS weIl-known probity and
ability insure for him a support at the
polls that means an election by several
hundred majority. He is vitality inter-
ested in the welfare of the county, and
may be relied upon.
Nobody who has long resided here
need be told that in Mr.. Charles Hecht,
who is a candidate for the council, the
people have a good reliable man. He
understands fully the vital needs of the
territory, and especially of Laramie
county.
Mr.. W. II. Hibbard's nomination is
acknowledged to be a good one by all
citizens. AS a member of the city
council he has made a splendid record,
and will carry the same business capac-
ity to the legislature, for it is written
that he is one Of the successful ones
because he is on the proper ticket.
Mr.. Thomas Conroy's nomination is
a fitting recognition of worth and
Drawn. The workingmen can count
on him as one of the representatives of
labor. He has the highest respect of
all the people at Camp Carlin, and will
poll a victorious vote.
Judge Tracy, formerly probate Judge,
and a member of the last legislature, is
a good and true man. His record is
beyond reproach. Although he sold out
a big herd of cattle, he Immediately
bought a new herd, and is now on a
visit with his family to friends in the
east. His interests are still in Chey-
enne.
Mr.. B. F. Deitrick is another work
ingman who is well known to the hon
est toilers of the city. He is a plasterer
by occupation. He is also a veteran
fireman, and thoroughly respected by
all the 6remen of the city, as well as
by his fellow workingmen.
In Mr.. F. L. Greene is a gentleman
who is known over the entire county,
but especially up north, as a gentleman
of good abilities and trustworthiness.
He is very popular at Fort Laramie,
where he is stationed, and like all of
the gentlemen mentioned herein is GER
tain of election. He is a devoted
friend of Laramie county.
Mr.. R. B. Horrie's nomination is a
most excellent one. He fully under
stands the wants of our people, and
will labor honestly and strongly and
ably for the same. He is solid on the
capital question, as are all of our IAN
didates. Being in the lumber and real
estate business, he knows just where
any improvement in the laws can be
made of advantage to all property hold
ers.
Mr.. Milton Taylor is so well and
favorably known that any further men,
tion Of him seems superfuous. All
know him to be q man that will stand
by the wants of our people and ably de-
fend them. He has a great host of
friends everywhere, and to say that
they are "hooping it up - for him and
the entire ticket is to tell a most SOL
emn truth.
As will be observed, MI. NJ. E. Post
for the council, and Messrs. Sharpless
and Hardin, have been endorsed. They
are all good men and true, and can be
fully relied upon.
OF Major Claiche. n of the candi-
dates for the council, nothing need be
said here. His record and qualifca-
tions speak strongly for themselves in
his favor.
