A Girls Experiment.

The presence of a big black bear In
the aeighborhood of Butler, Ga, recent
ly, has given occasion for several local
scares and a number of newspaper ar
tieles. Miss Mary L. Groat, a young
woman who lives in that vicinity, near
Reynolds, decided q few days ago to
make use of the bear in order that she
might test the courage and devotion of
two rivals for her hand. She planned
that her brother, disguised in buffalo
robe, should appear IN certain grove
during twilight that evening and that
both lovers should be with her at the
time. The young men were glad of the
opportunity to be with Miss Groat,
neither suspecting that they were to
pass through the crucible and come out
either refined gold or ''306'' medal met
al. Sammy Groat, the bear, was de-
lighted with the scheme, feeling that he
could roar her las gently as sucking
dove or as thunderously as cyclone
in the wild west. When the sister saw
the disguised brother poke the bears
head over some bushes she pointed to-
ward the object. Both lovers looked
and saw the masqueraded youth. To
Miss Groat's surprise, however, each
made for the animal and the discharge
ef three or four revolver shots added TO
the surprise. The bear took to hissheels,
snd the young woman frantically ap-
peeled 10 her lovers not to shoot. Sam
my got home without a scratch, and
shortly afterward the romantic girl, with
On adfnirer at each hand also returned,
ell considerably excited by the incident.

LEBANON, Penn, Oct. 13.-The greatest
excitement prevails over the robbery of
cashier Rise, who was assaulted yesterday
and robbed of $4,000 by unknown thieves

FEARFUL INCREASE OF STATE TAXATION

The following table shows the tax levy
for state purposes for nine years, from
1878 tc 1881. 1t will be seen that the levy
for 1881, when the state was entirely cut
of debt, is just double what it was in 1874,
when a very large amount of old state
bonds were yet unpaid, and large sum
was demanded to meet the interest and

slight smsrting or burning sensation and q

patient cannot account for. On examining
the urinary deposits 3 ropy sediment will
often be found, and sometimes small particles

THE NOMINATION OF posi-.

That has occurred which was dreaded
BIZ republican machine managers in
Wyoming. They permitted themselves
to nominate a man for congress who
earned the distinction o. that nomina-
ton by long service as a party tool and
~unceasing activity as n wire puller while
holding public office. So t~ireless has he
been in working for a nomination dur
ing the past year, that the delegates at
the republican territorial convention,
although evincing a desire to nominate
a mar of strength and ability, sur
rendered to the persistent artfulness
and obsequiousness of a dealer in soft
sawder.
The nomination of M. f. Post is the
outcome of a general demand from the
democratic party in the territory for
his continuance in the Office of dele
gate. In Laramie county he will poll
a large republican vote and every bal
lot cast by a democrat. In all parts of
Wyoming he will meet with that en-
thusiastic support which is ELECTED by
admiration for the career of a self
made man, for a man who has done his
whole duty, and for one whose friends
are to be found everywhere.

TRAITOR AND coNsprRAToR.

The course of the Cheyenne Sun in
Connection with the late strike in the
LEADER office is worth noting. AS is
now admitted by the union, the strike
was the work of q discontinued employe.
A vacancy was created in the Sun office
the very day of the strike and filled by
the man who caused the trouble in the
LEADER office. The Sun then began
clamoring against the LEADER owners
as oppressors of working Lnen, and has
kept up the din to this day. Stimuli
~trneously with the publication of this
charge in the Sun, three of its solicitors
appeared in the streets of Cheyenne to
work up business for the SUM-. 1t at
tempted to raise a hue and cry against
the LEADER, and naturally the union
men had their story to tell. With
these incidents occurring at the same
time, it will be difficult to persuade the
people of Cheyenne that there was not
a conspiracy set afoot against the
LEADER by those to whom injury to 1t
would be profitable.
But there is a larger principle in
volved. The population of Wyoming
is made up mostly of employers and
employed. 1t might be expected that
when a difficulty arose between the two
classes, the press could be trusted to
throw some light upon it and perhaps
open a way to adjust it. What did the
Cheyenne Sun do 1t deserted alike
the peaceable working men of the COM
munity and the men who represented
capital. 1t falsi6ed the statements of
the owners of the LEADER as to the
cause of the strike against them. For
the sake of a temporary advantage over
an embarrassed rival in business, it
surpassed the strikers themselves in
intemperance of action. No epithet
has been strong enough to express its
malignant feeling tnward the LEADER.
1t has sought every unfair method to
incite the community against the
LEADER. To-day'the union men man
fully come forward and say a wrong
was done us. The Sun is left alone to
defend its incendiary course. 1t turn
ed its back upon the employing class, it
cast its lot with striking workmen, it
was unfaithful to its duties as n news
paper and it sought to incite the passions
of the working men by spreading false
doctrines on the question of wages.

they expected. Their freshness had a
int of another color given il, and they

imported rats" as they were to abuse
tn" former force.
1t is proper TO state that nearly all of
the members of the Union in this city
are men with families, W property,
pay taxes and have resided here over
ten years. Thus it will be seen the
attacks made by the LEADER called for
n defense. The Sun came to the aid Of
these men, rs it ever will to the aid of
the wronged, not alone because they
belonged to the Union, but because
they belonged to the city.
1t must not be supposed that the
LEADER discharged the Union men
last August. The men simply told the
proprietors of the paper they would not
work for them, and left. After they
departed the LEADER ''after waiting
until it cooled Off" discovered they
we're a drunken, incompetent and
worthless lot.
In fine, the paper has again lied and
slandered, but in this case business and
political reasons compel it to admit the
fact. And such an one is the paper
which states it is fighting the battles Of
the people" and which endeavors to
obtain a place in the territory by mis-
representations, ISLANDERS and abuse.
