There is now an excellent opportunity
for our hunters and-others who enjoy wild
excitement to indulge in a grand wolf
hunt for the purpose of ex~terminating the
band of ferocious animals which infest a
portion of the country to the southeast of
this city. If a grand wolf hunt was or
ganized on a scale large enough to drive"
the country down there. as used to be
done, there would be lots of fun and ex-
element in it and Just enough danger to
make it interesting.

Hon. William +. Villas, Secretary of the

petitioners most respectfully represent
that within their knowledge .the greatest
business drawback in securing the settle
ment and improvement of Wyoming Ter
ritory is the tardy issuance of United
States patents to the lands upon which
settlers have made final proofs and pay
ments.
1t is a fact that in a large number of
cases patents are still pending where final
proofs and payment were made many
years ago. Only a small percentage of
all the proofs accepted have as yet been
rewarded with patents. II il of great
importance to settlers in a new countrv

A Botanical Curiosity.

The Misses Bowles' have specimen
Of botany in their store that is we'll worth
your notice. About three weeks ago
one of their nice callie lilies needed q
support and branch of the nearest tree
was broken off and used for this pur-
pose, the end of the branch sticking in
the earth in the pot that contained the
plant. The stick happened to be the
branch Of an apple tree and is now in
full leaf and blossom. If this feat of
nature continues the Misses Bowles will
be able to furnish "green apples and
salt" for the college girls in advance Of
the season. In the back part Of their
store is jar containing charcoal and
water. In this are placed some lilac
branches which are nearing the point OF
full bloom. In addition to this in glass
vases containing water are number OF
hyacinths in bloom. These "water cul-
tivations" of flowers and shrubs are a
new feature in window gardening and
are becoming quite popular with horti.
culturists.

Centennial Meeting ut City Hall.

On Saturday last at p. m. number
of Hillsboro ladies met at the City Hall
and preliminary steps we're taken in
view OF the approaching State Centen-
nial. Important measures we're suggest
ed and adopted in reference to some of
the departments.
What is the use? What does it all
mean? Surely not simply a spirit of en-
ulation, display of industrial achieve
ment or of artistic ability.
Above and beyond this, it means q
oneness Of sympathy, . community OF
thought and purpose, and, upon the
solid foundation of the past century, a
broad, grand outlook toward immediate
prospects of well-earned laurels. 1t were
we'll to appreciate such advantages, and
their reflex influence in home and State.
''The present and the future, as well as
the past, owe their greatness Of oppor-
tunity and achievement to those who,
under God, watch the drift Of modern
life in order that they may rightly regu.
late their own course in recognition of
the great divine plan. so far as apparent
to men, and Of the progressive attain.
ments of humanity and the soul. Thus
ought we all to use this phrase and to
utilize the thought which it presents. !"
In contemplation Of these things believe
us, Yours in the spirit of
concord"
