AT a recent church school anniver-

vited to make few remarks. Here is
what he said: .The foundation and
rock to which and we all must cling
is the undefiled faith, as this is taught
US in the Bible. DO not join that great
crowd which either neglects entirely
the Bible as the sole source of truth, or,
at best, misinterprets it to suit its own
ideas. If there is anything that can
give security in the present world OF
action, it is this only foundation, which
is laid in Christ Jesus. May this day
be blessed one to all of you, that Il
may increase in you the knowledge oi
God, and of his only begotten son, Jc-

only when the teacher is sure of his

Tired Eyes.

People speak about their eyes being
fatigued, meaning that the retina, or
seeing portion of the brain, is fatigued,
but such is not the case, as the retina
hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue is
in the inner and outer muscles attached
to the eyeball and the muscle of accom-
mediation, which surrounds the lens of
the eye. When a near object is to be
looked at, this muscle relaxes and al
lows the lens to thicken, increasing its
retroactive power. The inner and outer
muscle to which l referred are used in
covering the eye on the object to be
looked at. the inner one being especially
used when near object is to be looked
at. It is in the three muscles men
toned that the fatigue is felt, and relief
is secured temporarily by closing the
eyes or gazing at far distant objects.
The usual indication of strain is red
ness of the rim of the eyelid. betoken-
ing q congested state of the inner sur
face. accompanied with some pain.
Rest is not the proper remedy for
fatigued eye, but the use of glasses Of
sufficient power to render unnecessary
so much effort to accommodate the eye
to vision. Scientific american.

United States from s2.162, 900, 900 il

1873 to 81, 1873, 600, 900 in 1888. What
does all this prove but that the country
is prosperous beyond peradventure.
reproduction, whether of steel rails,
iron, cotton cloth or manufactures,
must be more readily absorbed to-day
than ten years ago. A shrinkage in
WEI street or panic can not affect the
country as disastrously in its present
strength and magnitude as it could
when the business of the country de-
pended more particularly on New York
financial quotations.
Wall street has had its shrinkage,
and it is time to stop predicting ruin
and hard times with the panic of 1873
as text Real estate may decline in
value. and in all probability it will, for
with the increase of wealth Will come
the desire to invest money where it will
net four per cent. per annum.
With Government bonds netting less
than three per cent. it is natural to sup
pose that the time must soon come
when real estate will no longer net six
per cent. and over.
In 1873 the Government of the United
States had on hand, of gold, silver and
greenbacks, $4,000, 900 legal tender.
In 1877 they had 1888, 100000. In
January. 1884, they had $40, 900. 900.
Each year they had obligations out of
interest accrued and certificates repre-
senting a portion of the money held by
the Government relatively.
Another point to be taken into ac-
count. In 1873 probably one-half the
public debt was held abroad. To-day
nine-tcnths of it is held here.
1t is possible that stocks may go
lower, but if so it will only be the shares
of those roads which are paralleled for
local business, being only few of the
trunk lines this side the lakes.
The above facts will enable the pub
lie to draw its own conclusions as to
whether the future promises disaster or
prosperity.

silver since this valley was first
settled,' says the Salt Lake Tribune.
"salt has been collected along the
shores OF the lake for domestic and
mechanical purposes. Salt works have
been established at various places, but
the most of it has been collected in
sloughs, where by evaporation it de-
posts on the ground. About all the
salt now collected is for the use OF
silver mills, which consume about
$4,000 tons per annum, as follows:
Utah uses about 5000 tons. Idaho 5000

Colorado about 500 tons, drawn from

The Possession of an I~nfantIle Dog
Causes Several Disturbances.

-
Some days ago a young nephew of
Major Talbot gave a pup, of some long
haired variety, to Elitch's messenger boy
Phillip. Phillip in turn gave the pup to
Mrs. Delay, wife OF the plumber who
has placed most of the gas pipes in posi-
ton since the works began operations.
The animal made its faults endurable by
reason of its faculty of entertaining a
child and therefore its presence was toler-
ated in the household. 1t seems that
Major Talbot did not propose to relinquish
the ownership of the pup. Recently he
called at the apartments of Mr.. and Mrs.
Delay, over Rhodes & Troxell's, where
his knock upon the door was answered by
Mrs. Delay, who was alone at the time.
Il is stated that when the door was opened
the Major ungallantly forced his way into
the room and seized the pup. Mrs. De-
Lay resented the intrusion of an utter
stranger and refused to surrender the ami
nal until Major Talbot was identified
and his ownership of the pup was proven.
The Major started for the door with the
pup in his arms, when Mrs. Delay
barred his passage and denounced his in
trusion. 1t is alleged that the Major 50
far forgot 4 mans obligations to woman
that he knocked or violently pushed the
lady down and then walked away in
triumph with the pup in his arms.
Some little time after his visit to the
room where he regained possession of the
woolly dog, Talbot was met in the Senate
saloon, on Eddy street, By a Mr.. Hunter,
the partner Of Delay. Hunter accused
the Major Of the alleged unwarranted
rudeness to Mrs. Delay. A controversy
ensued, the lie was exchanged, and the
Major struck Hunter with a heavy cane,
cutting his upper lip and leaving other
evidences Of the blow. Hunter at once
went to his shop, where he Sc
cured a revolver and from whence
he at once started out in search Of the
Mayor. He was intercepted by Judge
William Ware Peck and a number of
friends, and was induced to abandon any
sanguinary purposes he may have enter
tanned.
A complaint was made before Justice
Fisher, accusing Major Tablet Of assault
ing Mrs. Delay, but at the requestof the
lady, who looked upon an appearance in
Court with repugnancc, the matter was
dropped.
In Justice to all concerned it NAV be
proper to add that the Delays accepted
the pup from the boy Phillips without
any knowledge of the several changes in
its ownership, and that probably Major
Talbot did not give it to his nephew, al
though the latter claims to have obtained
it in that manner.
The matter is not entirely settled, and
may yet get into the Courts.

A WYOMING INVENTION.
a Novelty in Ere Arms, Designed aud
Made Here.

Mr.. Frcund, the well-known gun
dealer, has Just finished a working model
of a new military rifle, that seems dea-
tined to become a National arm.
The model just finished by MI. Freund
is of a Cavalry gun. The barrels twenty
eight inches long, with a front sight, pro
tected by heavy side guards, SO that it's
outlines may not be blunted by saddle use.
The halfstock is fastened and removed
without the use of any tools, bands or
screws. One Of the innovations noticeable
in the arm Is the method of taking it
apart. Not a screw, bolt, or any fasten-
ing. requiring a tool, is used; but, by
throwing the lever forward, a slide may
be pushed forward, and the entire lock,
with the breech and firing pins, may be
taken out
The gun ia a hammerless one, but a
low, blind hammer at the side indicates
the position Of the firing pin. and also
operates it from q half to a full cock.
This blind hammer always indicates a
halfcock, and a movable trigger,
which has no operation while the
lock is at ~half-cock, adds to the safety of
the arm. The gun can be cooked with n
instantaneous movement when being held
in firing position. The instantaneous
change from half to full cock is one Of the
best features of the arm.
The ejector is a compound one with ac-
celebrated movement. No matter how
slowly the lever may be moved, the
empty shell is quickly and forcibly thrown
from the chamber.
The arm is one of the finest in balance,
most complete in detail and wonderfully
simple that could be imagined. Some Of
its features were suggested blythe late Cap
tain Clark, ofarmy headquarters and while
it is primarily designed for cavalry use, il is
a model that sportsmen will appreciate
The opponents Of the hammerless gun
cannot object to this gun, while those who
prefer a hammer will also endorse it. In
t~erchangeable parts go with the arm and
in a moment it can be changed to a full
hsmmerless one if 50 desired. AS a pro-
duct of Western ingenuity the gun will be
Of interest to Wyoming people. 1t viii

it will be placed on exhibition.

The defendant was arraigned and his plea
of not guilty entered.
The Territory VS.. Charles II. Rody; in
dictment for burglary committed at the
Cheyenne House. The case was called at
10 O'Clock and was given to the jury about
AIS o'clock. Only a few witnesses were
examined but the arguments of counsel
occupied several hours.
All members of the Petit Jury not serv-
ing were excused until 10 O'Clock this
morning.
Benjamin E. Brewster was admitted to
citizenship,
The Territory ys. William Rogers. The
defendant was arraigned and plead not
guilty.
The Territory vs.. o. E. Stewart. Ar
raigned and plead not guilty.
At 1870 O'Clock the Court took a recess
until 9 o'clock pending the verdict of the
jury in the Rody case.
At s O'Clock the jury in the Rody case
visited the hotel where the burglary oc-
CURED and after returning to the Court
House called for blankets and bedding.
1t is presumed the jury is disagreeing be-
cause Rody has already passed eight or
nine months in Jail, and as no property
was lost through the alleged burglary it
is supposable, at least, that the members
of the jury thought the accused had been
punished sufficiently.
At 10 o'clock the jury reached a con
clusion and upon coming into Court re-
turned a verdict Of mot guilty. Rody
was thereupon discharged from custody
and the Court adjourned to $3.50 o'clock
this morning.
