'Kine Cure, for consumDtives.

The odor of COWS and COW stables is
thought to have a curative effect upon
co~nsumptives. A hospital for this ''kine
cure" is about to tbe opened It Reinick-
endorf, near Berlin. The sanatorium
proper consists of a vast circular build
ing, in the basement of which several
hundred cows will be kept, and the odor
of the stables be conducted to the rooms
in the upper stories. In the center of
the building is a large yard, for which a
whey cure, bathing establishments, etc.,
are planned. The surplus of the dairy
products is to be disposed of to the public
under proper precautions.-Home Jour-

His Record UntarnIsned.
brock Springs Miner.l


The Democrats of Wyoming territory
EaYe selected Caleb Perry Organ, of
Cheyenne, as their standard bearer.
Their choice meets with the unanimous
support OF this whole territory. A better
man could not have been nominated. He
is an ideal man of the people, one of our
Oldest pioneers, and one upon whom we
can all lean in confidence, and trust
him universally. OF all the public men
who have figured more or less in politics
in this territory, not one bears SO clear
and clean a record as Perry Organ. When
a candidate for the legislative council two
years ago he carried his W county by
storm. running far ahead of any candl-
date OF either ticket, and his present
nomination comes to him unanimously
out of compliment from a grateful con-
stituency for his u~ntarnished record while
serving the best interests of the territory
when a member of that body.

THE San presents facts and figures and
THE LEADER cannot dodge them by alleg.
ing that it is merely a personal grudge
against Stoll.-The San.
Our recollection is that we haven't
lodged the matter quite as much as the
Luminary could co~nscientiously wish we
had. Its entire presentation of the mat
ter has been a case Of confusion worse
%contounded. Afidavits covering only five
items of their alleged official figures showed
deliberate misstatements to the amount of
$1,000. The Sun in dealing with this
matter should take a rect in its magma
ton.

The campaign is already beginning to
grow warm. The Sun, with that intense
mental concentration characteristic of it,
has already commenced 10 punctuate its
editorial page with interrogation points.
Here IS a sample of it: The youthful (O
editor () of THE LEADER () writes "A
Model C) Editorial G) for the benefit (?)
Of the editor of the Sun" Now who
wouldn't feel crushed under the weight of
such a mass of sarcastic interrogation
points? OF course in a genuine newspa-
per office it is a standing rule to express
an idea so clearly that the subscriber will
not rush around the following morning
wildly clamoring for a diagram to discover
what the editor is driving at. The Sun,
To a certain extent, forestalls these visits by
running its ideas and diagrams conformity.
The only trouble which results is in the
difficulty to decide which is the idea and
which is the diagram. This might be
overcome by getting out a city license so
that the idea and the diagram might each
carry its official collar.

STILL BLUNDERING..

The Sun is beginning to sing low on the
Stoll business, but it is striking false notes
with about its usual regularity. Its latest
point of attack is the bringing of four wit
nesses here to testify in the Mccoy case
at a cost, it alleges, OF 81, 500.
Fortunately the people have not yet
forgotten several features of the Mccoy
case. Mccoy was a man about whose
history very little was known even after
the killing of Charley Gum at Lusk.
The man himself was a rather fine looking
young fellow, frank in his manners and
apt to create a very good first impression.
Through adroit manipulation sentiment
was very strongly worked in his favor.
The sheriff and prosecuting attorney
worked all winter long to discover some
thing OF McCoy's history. They learned
that he was what is technically known as a
bad man." He had committed five
murders in all and instead of being the
pleasant companionable fellow he APP
peared to be he was In reality a desperate
of the very worst stripe. The knowledge
of these facts made the prosecuting at
torney very anxious to secure a conviction
and if evidence of McCoy's alleged good
character we're introduced, as he had every
reason to believe it would be, it became
Imperatively necessary for him to contro-
vert it and let the people know precisely
the stamp of a man they had to deal
with.
In order to provide against every poss-
BILE contingency which might arise Crap
per, a Texas merchant, who had seen
Mccoy commit one murder, and Bell, the
prosecuting attorney. who had broken up
a band of outlaws, of which Mccoy was
the leading spirit, were first summoned.
Subsequently these men were unable to
appear, and two other witnesses equally
competent were brought here.
Two of the Texas witnesses were here
at the time fixed for the trial. The at
torreys for the defendant then stepped
forward and presented an affidavit aIleg-
ing that Judge Maginnis was prejudiced,
and asking that another Judge be called in
to try the case. This was strenuously re-
sisted by Mr.. Stoll. but Judge Maginnis
decided that under the law he had no op-
ton in the matter but to call in another
Judge. This necessitated a postpone
ment of the trial, but the blame of it GER
tainly cannot rest with Mr.. Stoll. When
the Mccoy case was finally tried it ended
in a conviction of murder in the first de-
gree.
The personal malice of the editor of
the Sun will not permit him to treat this
matter with any degree of fairness Or
honesty. His allegation that the county
was charged with 81 ,015 in special attor-
ney fees is maliciously absurd. An as
sistant attorney was employed upon only
one occasion and then his fee was $500.
This was at the conclusion of the fourth
murder case tried that term, and Mr..
Stoll was confined to his room by sickness.
The court ordered the commissioners to
employ al assistant attorney and they did
so.
OF course it would be too much to ask
of the Sun to stick to the facts of the

THE PEOPLES CHOICE.
what the Territorial Press Thinks OF
Perry Organs Nomination.
" wyoming Honored.


Caleb Perry Organ has been nominated
by the Democratic territorial convention
for delegate to congress. To support a
good man for office irrespective of his
party affiliations is an imperative duty the
Lyre owes to itself and its independent
political record. Such a man is Caleb
Perry Organ. One of our pioneers-one
of those the efforts of whose early man
hood have c~rystalized into the firm and
enduring foundation stones of Wyoming
growth and development; a man whose
life has known no political chicanery; a
man single Of heart and earnest of pur-
pose; a man in the prime and vigor of his
, 1888-10-16
attorney.

THERE is no other subject upon which
the Republicans, headed by Judge Carey,
are spouting more rank nonsense than on
the subject OF statehood for Wyoming.
The object of it all, as has been well OBJ
served by the Rawlins Journal, is Judge
Carey's oyerweening ambition to be a
United States senator. Even as matters
now stand the territorial taxation is as
high as any taxpayer wants to see it.
Statehood is a very good thing to advo-
cate as a possibility of the next five years.
While no newspaper or individual has the
development and progress of Wyoming
more closely at heart than The
LEADER we cannot help believing
that if congress conferred the distinction
upon the territory at its next session it
would prove little short of a genuine ca
lamity. The Democratic party can be
trusted to look just as closely after the
interests of the whole people as the Re
publican party. Whatever contributes to
the general good must in a measure con-
tribute to the good of the Democratic
party and the individual members Of it.
We do not believe the people of the terri
tory look upon statehood as an event
which is Immediately desirable, and they
certainly cannot approve of the blather-
skite talk upon the subject with which
they a;e now being deluged. This state
hood talk is too highly favored with SEN
atorial ambitions.

And thrills along the line,
Though each to himself may hear it,
And make to the next NO stgn--
The patter of tiny footballs
That run to al open door,
The mothers tender singing,
Her step on the nursery floor;
The boyish shout of welcome,
The girlish ripple of glee,
At the click in the guarded portal
OF the homebound father's key
This is the army's music:
Cheerily calls goodnight
The merry voice of the comrade
AS he passes out of sight
Into the heart of the household
When the days long work is done,
And wife and BARNS are waiting
With a kiss for their dearest one.
Under the windy flicker
And fare of the evening lamp

With steady and resolute tramp
A host of the strong and gentle,
A throng of the brave and true,
Dear little wives and mothers,
