nearest and best known neighbors.
Beckwith gave him some good advice
and released him.

The Query Box.

The question box service at the Presby-
terrain church Sunday evening was quite
interesting and entertaining. Some of
the queries reminded one Of the old saw
which sets forth that a fool can PROFOUND
more questions than a wise man can
answer" Rev. Field is always equal to
the occasion, however, and e~vinces a dis
position to treat all questions fairly. His
liberal view upon some propositions is a
revelation to those who believe that the
cloth is constrained to adhere to certain
rules. 1t is hoped that the unique service
will be repeated often.

The chairman of the several boards OF
county commissioners in the territory,
sitting as a board to equalize cattle values
yesterday, reduced the number of classes
under which cattle have been taxed from
seven to FIVE. Thoroughbred and pedi-
greed bulls and lows viii this year be as
sessed at 1925, as compared with $50
last year; high grade bulls at $40, instead
Of S45 thoroughbred cow at sos instead
of S75; high grade mich COWS at S25 IN
stead Of $50; and range cattle at Sll in
stead of Sl3, so, the last years figures.
Owing to the unsettled condition of the
market and the low prices which have
prevailed, the board was of the opinion
that these reductions were only perfectly
Just.
If all OF the range cattle of Wyoming
are turned in at this valuation the result
will be satisfactory.

A EVENING.
The Seml-AnBuaI Y. NJ. C. A. Enter
taInmenI a Grand Success.

The semi-annual entertainment of the
Y. NJ. G. A. last evening was an unqual-
fled success, The attendance was large
and the audience included representative
people. The programme had been care
fully prepared and attested the ability of
the managers in that direction. No bet
ter evidence of the regard of the citizens
for the organization which they so liber-
ally support could be adduced thar the
success of last evenings entertainment.
DR.. Hunt, president of the society, con-
Quoted the exercises, which were opened
with prayer by the Rev. DR.. Williams.
Miss May Tuttle's piano solo was a mu-
steal gem. The young lady is an accom-
plished artist and rendered a difficult Sc
lection in fine style.
The reading by Mrs. Warren added
fresh laurels to that estimable lady's we'll
earned reputation as an elocutionist.
Mr.. f. p. Harmon is Indian club
swinger par excellence. His muscular
frame is living proof that this form of ex-
ercise is most beneficial.
The vocal solos by Messrs. Whitcomb
and Henderson were well received. The
gentlemen were in excellent voice and
filed the hall with melody.
Mrs. Ed. j. Churchill has installed her,
self as a fayorite with our literary people,
and her services will be in constant de-
mand at home entertainments. Her reci-
tation was enthusiastically encored, and
the audience was 10th to permit the lady
to retire.
Mrs. j. G. Pratt sang with her usual
sweetness and was compelled 10 respond
to hearty applause.
Victor De Prato, the young master of
the violin, executed with admirable skill
a difficult selection, and responded with a
pleasing air. He was accompanied by
Prof. Hutchinson, his tutor, on the piano.
An innovation was a public debate by
members of the Y. NJ. c. A. senate, an
organization composed of members of the
society. and contemplating the encourage
ment Of thinking and speaking. The
proposition that a protective tariff is
necessary to the best interests of this
country was debated. The contestants
we're: Affirmative, Ed Towse and A. D.
Kelley negative, II. W. Henderson and
I. b. Adams. The latter were victorious
by a majority of one. w. p. Carroll,
Prof. Pasmore and Col. Bryan acted as
judges. Messrs. Kelley, Henderson and
Adams made quite able and logical argu-
ments on the question. 1t is regretted
that lack Of space precludes a reproduce
ton of at least a portion of the timely
and pointed speeches.
That the Hon. Geo. w. Sewers is an
orator of no mean ability was patent to all
who heard that gentleman's address last
evening. la the judgment of the writer
this feature of the programme should
have headed the list. Perhaps, however,
1t was a reservation of the best until the
last, The gentleman gave a brief history
of the Y. NJ. Q. A, and paid a glowing
tribute to those earnest workers who
assisted in its advancement.

THE NEW GENERAL MANAGER.

The Omaha Bee gives a short bio
graphical sketch of Mr.. Kimball, who
has been promoted to general manager of
the Union Pacific railway. 1t is as fol
lows: Thomas l.. Kimball is a native
of Maine, IS years old, received an acad-
emic education, taught school in New
England until he was 81, followed it up
by engaging IN the commercial and ex-
press business for four years, moved west
ward in 1856, locating in Northern Ohio,
and finally settled in Cincinnati in 1859.
There he did some newspaper writing
and reporting and wrote some stirring
circulars for the Pennsylvania Railroad
company. Then for five years he was
Southwestern passenger agent and finally
general Western passenger agent OF that
line in Cincinnati. In March, 1871,
Thomas A. Scott was elected president of
the Union Pacific Railway company and
Mr.. Kimball was appointed to the posi-
ton of general passenger and ticket agent
of the Union Pacific. Mr.. Kimball came
to Omaha and has ever since resided
here. During this long period Mr.. Kim
ball has remained with the Union Pacific
throughout all changes OF administration.
For ten years he filled the office to which
he was first appointed, general passenger
and ticket agent. He was then pro-
NOTED to be assistant general manager,
which Office he filed for four years. The
next three years he was the general traffic
manager of the Union Pacific system. On
Sept l, 1887, he was appointed assistant
to the first vice president, from which po-
sition he has lust been promoted.n

1t is not necessary for n corpulent per
son to vigorously deny himself everything
good to eat in order to be less bulky. 1t
is n positive fact that a cup of water taken
after each meal will rapidly reduce flesh.
Eat you like, rich grayies, sweets,
pastry, anything, but drink nothing at
meals, and in a few minutes after rising
from the table drink the cup of hot boil
ing water, and enjoy the light, relieved
feeling you will experience. 1t is a little
odd, but hot water taken before the meal
increases the weight.-Woman's Work.

SENATOR MANDERsoN is anxious to
preserve the National park, and now has
before congress a bill increasing its dimen-
sions by the addition of about 1000
square miles. He makes it conform to
the boundary lines between Montana and
Idaho on the north and west, and extends
it into Wyoming on the east and south,
thus combining the wonderland exclusively
to Wyoming soil. So far as Wyoming is
concerned, there will be very little objec-
ton to the scheme.

THE Democrats of Wyoming Territory
have appointed their two delegates to the
national convention at st. Louis and in
structed them for Cleveland's renomina-

set up the job Chicago Journal.
We can assure the Journal that there
was no Job at all about it, and that the
postmaster had no more to do with it than
any other influential democrat. The in.
struction for Cleveland was simply an ex-
preston of the unanimous wish OF the
party of the territory.

African sheep, as represented by speci-
mems in the Berlin geological gardens,
vary greatly in size and form, some being
large and clumsy, while others are quite
small and graceful, with slender, deer
like limbs. The color is always black

species, covered with wool, but have only
still, coarse hair, which is short and even,

INFANTILE
SKIN DISEASES,

Our Oldest child, now six years OF age, when
an infant six months old was attacked with a
virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies falling, we called our family physician,
who attempted to cure II bnt 1t spread with
almost Incredible rapidity until the lower por-
OF his back down to. his knees, was one solid
rash. ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious. We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. FINAL
we were advised to try the CUTIcURA RENE
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three or four weeks n complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy
child, perfectly well, no repetition OF the disease
having ever occurred.
