Jones was subject to Sick Headache
and being entirely out of her favorite
remedy, charged her husband in the
morning when he left her to bring the
medicine home at dinner time Like
all the men he forgot the errand and
returned as he went away. "Forgive
me, janet" he cried, when his wife
asked for the remedy. But she
wouldn't do any such thing and the
kind-hearted man went back to the

HORRIBLE accident.

The Evans Press relates a horrible
accident that occurred In that town
one night last week. 1t says that a
young man named Frank Gardiner,
who occupied a room over a small store,
went to bed on Thursday night. and,
placing a kerosene lamp on the wash
stand beside his bed, resumed reading q
story paper. He fell to sleep, and was
awakened by the burning of bis pillow,
which set Ere to his hair. With great
presence of mind hs wrapped a blanket
around his head, which extinguished
the flames. He then set to work to
smothering the flames that were de.
vouring the bed clothing and licking up
the floor, and at the SAME time he was
yelling Justify for help. Some friends
o arrived, and the fire was extin-
guished, but mot without the most
severe exertion. Gardiner had to have
his hair cut short to enable the appli-
cation of salves to the burns. One ear
was very severely injured. GARDENERS
escape Is considered marvellous, and he
Is himself thankful that he escaped
with his life. He doesn't know how
the accident happened to the lamp, but
be thinks that he either knocked 1t of
the washstand with his hand during
sleep, or that it was Jared off, as the
wind was blowing hard that night and
the building shook considerably. L

In a recent number the Laramie
Times devotes considerable space to the
obnoxious assessment law. in reference
specially to railroad corporations; and
makes the stat, ment that the law holds
good in cities agd corporate towns.
This assertion isopen to serious doubt.
To be sure, one Judge tPeck) decided
It to be so, but upon appeal to the
supreme court of the territory. the de-
cislpn was reversed and judgment
granted the plaintiff, the decision being
accorded by Chief Justice Sener and
Judge Blair. The matter is now be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States; but in this city the Union Pacific
Company paid their city taxes under
protest. The law as 1t stands is un.
just, all the same.
