The Flowing OIL Wen.

Special Dispatch to THK LEADER.
RAwLINs, October "a courier ar
rived here to-day bringing the information
that a flowing oil well had been discovered
at Oil City. Wyo. The flow he described
as being remarkable, both as to quality
and quantity. The well belongs to the
Denver Oil Co., and the oil was struck at
a depth of about eight hundred and fifty
feet. The report of the courier created
intense excitement here and the meager
particulars of the affair were eagerly
sought. Every mon in town seems to
have caught a sort of oleaginous craze
and if everything pans out as expected, a
big boom for the oil regions is predicted.

COOK MUST SWING.
The Decision of the Court Below
Affirmed.
December IL the Date Fixed for
His Execution.

Judge Lacy handed down yesterday the
opinion Of the Supreme Cont in the case
of George Cook, who has been
convicted of the murder of James
Blount, at Laramie, on Deem
Der 3, 1888. affirming the decision of the
Court below in all of the points by it de-
cided. The decision is an exceedingly
voluminous document, consisting of some
twenty pages of legal cap and is full of
citations of legal authorities. 1t dis
cnsses all of the points raised by the
prisoners counsel, at great length and is
said to be a very thorough and exhaustive
examination of the legal questions raised
in the case. 1t concludes as follows;
1.-The judgment of the Court below is
in all things affirmed, and the Court now
appoints the 18th day of December, 1884.
for the execution of the sentence of the
Court below"
In all probability this decides Cooks
fate, and he will pay the penalty of his
crime unless the Governor commutes his
sentence. In the event of the execution
of the sentence, Cook will be the second
man hanged in the Territory by due pro-
cess Of law.
Mr.. Bruner, the Clerk Of the Court,
was engaged yesterday afternoon in
tnnscribing the decision, and it was not
possible to obtain anything more than the
mere statement of the Courts decision.
The Brown disbarment case was then
taken up, and the Court rendered a de-
cision denying the motion to dismiss the
accusation overriding each and every
objection made.
The respondent then filed a demurrer
raising exactly the same grounds as those
made in the motion to dismiss the accusa-
ton. The Court promptly over-ruled the
demurrer and the counsel for the respond
ent stated that they were ready to file the
answer of respondent to the charges CON
tanned in the accusation. The answer was
then filed with the clerk.
The answer does not make a denial Of
the matters contained in the accusation
but is an explanation of the manner and
circumstances under which the language
the respondent is alleged to have
uttered was used. The respond
ent's counsel then desired to know
whether the court deemed it necessary to
proceed further and take proof as an
swer under oath had been filed explaining
all the matters alleged in the accusation.
The Court took the matter under ad-
visement and then adjourned to o O'Clock
this morning. 1t is understood that the
Court will proceed to take testimony
to-day and thus investigate the truth Of
the accusation.

MESSAGES OF LOVE AND DEATH.
The One Is BIighted BY News of the
Other.

Mr.. c. G.. Thayer, of Egbert, left this
city last evening for Boston, Mass,
where he had been called by the sudden
death Of his wife. Mrs. Thayer was we'll
known as an accomplished lady to many
people in this city, having paid several
visits here as the guest Of Mrs. J. b.
Gill. Mr.. Thayer is a well-known sheep
raiser at Egbert, and was seated in the
telegraph Office, at that place, engaged in
reading a letter which he had just received
from his wife, when the news of her death
was flashed over the wires. With the
letter from his wife still in his hand he
received the Geographic message announc-
ing her death. The shock was a severe
one, and almost Frustrated the bereaved
husband. Mrs. Thayer's death came as
suddenly upon her friends in Boston as
it did upon her husband. 1t appears she
was seated at a table when she suddenly
toppled back from her chair, a corpse
before she reached the floor. The exact
cause of her death was not stated in the
the telegram, but it is believed to have
been caused by IA heart complication. Mr..
Thayer has the sympathy of a large circle
Of friends in his sudden bereavement.

The Coming Attraction at the Opera
House.

The play-going people of this city will
have another theatrical treat in the pres
entation of Felicia by Rose Eytinge on
Saturday night. This lady is too well
known as an actress to require any ex-
tended commendatory notice. For a long
time she has been one of the principal
favorites among the American audi
ences and her popularity has been
deservedly won. Her rendition of the
character of Felicia is one of hsr finest
performances. In addition to great dra-
matte force she possesses the great art of
enlisting the sympathies of her audience
which makes her impersonation the more
interesting. The company is well worthy
of patronage and deserve a large audi
ence.

the Government and asked him what the
visit Of Mr.. Cameron meant
1T means simply this" he replied.
"Mr. Cameron is hear "a rent a building
for the use of the Government, and
will make the best terms that he can.
The matter of location will not arise. The
Government don't care anything about
that The Postal Department is now
cutting down the salaries Of the employees,
and is about 80, 200, 600 behind on the
estimate for the last quarter. Everything
is now being done to decrease expenses

elsewhere they are going to take it. 1t i

IRON TONIC AND BLOOD
PURIFIER,

The only preparation of iron in solution in
which the iron has not been oxidized or rusted.
Everyone knows that iron in most any form
is good tonic; but when you have a prepa
ration of iron in solution, in which the iron
has not been rusted, you have a superior ar
ticle. Iron when oxidized or rusted has most
of its life or virtue destroyed.
This preparation is as limpid and trans
parent as spring water, and readily assimi-
iates the food taken into the stomach, the
only means of reaching the blood, and in that
manner penetrating every part of your system.
If your physician prescribes tonic for you
call his attention to this preparation, and he
will tell you that it must be the best
This preparation has been tried and tested
by competent physicians and pronounced the
best, and not u single individual that has used
it to our knowledge but says that they have
been greatly benefited. Besides, it has made
cures in cases that physicians had treated for
years without success. tits certain remedy
in anemia, nervousness, dyspepsia, chills and
fevers, and all diseases incident to malaria.
Female diseases, kidney and urinary or
gans, lost vitality, impotency, rheumatism,
and in convalescence from facilitating dis.
eases, and, in fact, in all cases requiring a
tonic, it is the best.

our office, 103 Hanover street, Baltimore, Nd.

to construct washing machine which, unlike
its contemporaries, WOULD DO the WORK
AS WELL AS BY HAND, and in a much
shorter time, without destroying the clothes
or breaking the buttons. The Atkinson
is a machine which will stand the
most rigid examination, and do all
that is claimed for it. 1t is simple in
construction, thereby enabling the
manufacturer to sell at a price which
puts it within the reach of all. It is
light and durable, not liable to get out of
repair, and is easily operated. The principle
is unique and original, differing widely from
that of any machine ever designed for IL SIM
liar purpose. The time worn system of beat
ing, rubbing and grinding the articles to be
washed is totally ignored, and new one
founded on an established law of hydraulics,
which treats Of the suction and pressure of
water and air) is substituted. Hss~ Every
good housekeeper should examine it. 1t is n
valuable addition to articles of household

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

For Dyspepsia, Nervousness, Bilious At
lacks, Headache, Costiveness, Chills and
Fevers, and all diseases of the Liver and
Stomach, j. NJ. LAR0QUE'S ANTI Bill
IOUS BITTERS are decidedly the most po-
tent remedy that can be used. 1t is purely
vegetable, faultless family medicine, and has
been manufactured at LAR0QUE'S PHAR-
MACY, one of the most prominent Drug
Stores of Baltimore, for more than half a
century. Its efficiency in all forms of LIVER
DISEASE has been tested and approved by
thousands of the most prominent citizens of
Baltimore, who have used it successfully in
combating the above complaints, all of which
arise from arrangement of the liver and
disordered stomach. We therefore say to you
confidently, if you have Dyspepsia, suffer from
Sick or Nervous Headache, have Chiils, Bow
els are Constipated, or you feel generally
played out and don't care continental wheth-
err you live or die, TRY J. NJ. LAROQUE'S
ANTI BILIOUS BITTERS, and our word
for it, a single dose, taken either at night on
retiring or in the morning before breakfast
will make you feel like new man. If you
live in a malarious section, where Chills and
Fever abound, it will be found most elfectual
remedy in guarding the system from all attack.
The price, too, is reasonable and within the
reach of all-25 cents for the Herbs in pack
age, or S1.00 for the bottle ready prepared.
Sold by all druggists.

DISTRUST.
BY ELLA WHEELER.

Distrust that man who tells you to distrust
He takes the measure of his own small soul
And thinks the world no larger. He who pirates
0fhuman natures baseness and deceit,
Looks in the mirror of his heart and sees
His kind therein reflected. Or perchanee
His honeyed wine oflife was turned to gall
By Sorrows hand, which brimmed his cup with
tears,
And made all things seem bitter to his taste.
Give him compassion but be not afraid
OF nectared love or Friendships strengthening
draught
Nor think poison underlies their sweets.
Look through true eyes, you will discover truth;
Suspect Suspicion and doubt only Doubt.
