The New Town OF wcndover.

f.. Holmes, who built the first house at
Cottonwood, which is now known as
Wendnver, was in town Yesterday. He
says the outlook for the new town is now
very bright on account of the exceedingly
pleasant outlook at the Sunrise mine. 1t
is probable that II branch may be built
from the Cheyenne & Northern at Wen

prove rue the town is assured of a rapid
growth. An application has been made

commended for passage notwithstanding
the objections of the Uinta county delega.
ton. The passage of this bill will have
the effect of removing Judge Corn from
the third district and installing him in the
second, while Judge BlaiI's successor will
be assigned to the third district. By the
provisions Of the bill the counties of
Laramie and Converse shall compose the
first judicial district, Albany and Carbon
the second, Sweetwater, Uinta and John
son the fourth, Until the fourth district
is formed Crook county shall be attached
to the first and johnson to the second.
The terms of court are also prescribed in
the measure. The Western members
urged that Judge Corn be allowed to re-
main with them. Every speaker on the
question paid a glowing tribute TO the
judges ability and honesty. 1t is de-
sired to assign Judge Corn to the second
district for the reason that an experienced
man will be needed there upon the expira-
ton of Judge Blair's term.

A Hint to Sleepers.

1t is perfectly true that no one ever heard
OF a snoring savage. In fact, if the wild man
of the woods and plains does not sleep quietly
he runs the risk of being discovered by his
enemy, and the scalp of the snorer would
soon adorn the belt of his crafty and more
silent sleeping adversary. In the natural
state, then, natural selection" weeds out
those who disturb their neghbors by making
night hideous with shores With civilization,
however, we have changed all this The I'M
pure air of our sleeping rooms induces all
manner of catarrhal affections. The nasal
passages are the first to become affected IN
stead of warming the inspired air on its way
to the lungs, and removing from it the dan
gerous impurities with which it is loaded, the
nose becomes obstrueted. A part Of the air
enters and escapes by WY Of the mouth.
The veil Of the palate vibrates between the
two currents-that through the mouth and
the one still passing through the partially
closed nostrils-like torn sail in the wind
The snore, then, means that the sleeper's
mouth is partially open, that his nose is par
TALLY closed and that his lungs are in danger
from the cir not being properly warmed and
purified From the continual operation of
these cause.-the increase of impure air in
sleeping rooms and permitting habitual
snorers to escape killing and scalping-some
scientist has predicted that in the future all
men land the women, too will snore 1t goes
along with the decay of the teeth and bald
medicines.

REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE.

OTTAWA. Ont, Jan 13-Eight weeks
ago Renaes Mcdonald county treasurer,
and a highly respected citizen of Cornwall,
left his home TO cross the river in boat,
and not returning at the appointed time,
search was made. and the finding of his
empty boat was the result. This led to the
belief that he had been drowned, and a
fruitless search was made for his body.
The family went into mourning and he
was given up as dead. The Office OF county
treasurer was awarded to another party
His ccal business was also disposed OF. and
the position of secretary to the gas
company was awarded to some
one else. His life was heav-
lily insured. and not satisfied with the cir
cumStanceS which surrounded his mySte,i-
Gus disappearance, the companies inter
ested commenced TO investigate the case
quietly. and have Just succeeded in locat-
ing him in IL hospital at Portland. Ore,
where he AT present lies. His family have
just received word from him. His story is
that he was drugged and robbed, and then
put on board train which carried him to
Portland. He says that he has no recol-
lection of what happened after he get out
OF his boat. when he met some strangers
and adjourned with them to Il hotel to
have a social drink. The whole affair has
created considerable excitement in his ma
tive town. where he WAS looked upon as
above reproach. There is certainly tishy
look about the affair which will be in
ve&tigated on his return, friends having
left TO bring him home.

Myth of the Ok.naEen Indians.

Mr.. A. s. Gatschet publishes an interesting
myth of the Okinagen Indians in The Globus
He relates how the animals climbed on a
chain of arrows TO heaven in order TO obtain
the fire The bird Tskan made strong bow
of the rib OF an elk which he killed by eating
its heart Then he killed the coyote with MS
arrows, but tie latter was revived by the
fox. Then he shot one arrow into the sky
The next arrow be shot stuck in the end OF
the first one. Thus he continued until q chain
was formed reaching from heaven to earth
All animals climbed up this chain. and the
beaver obtained the fire. An analysis OF this
interesting legend shows that its elements are
found among great number of tribes of the
Selfish lineage and among their neiglIborS, but
it seems that the myth of the ascent to heaven
is characteristic Of Selfish mythology Cat
schet tries to interpret this legend, and thinks
bird Tsl;an represents the moon, the coyote the
sun; but this seems improbable, as the myth
is extremely complicated. and is probably de
rived from q great number of sources IL is
desirable that one mythology OF the native
tribes Of the upper Columbia should be col
lected systematically, for the analysis of ira
dition is enc OF the most important methods
OF studying the history OF the native races
and the psychology of nations

A Remedy for Diphtheria.

Very considerable interest has been excited
in foreign medical circles by III. Brondel's
successful treatment OF diphtheria by the use
of benzoate of sodium. He asserts that of
200 consecutive cases he has not lost single
one, and, though admitting the possibility Of
ii mistaken diagnosis in some instances, yet
even excluding so per cent. on this account
there remain 100 cases without death. His
method is to have the patient take, every
hour, tablespoonful of a solution Of ben
zoate of sodium, fifteen grains to the ounce
and at the same time one-sixth OF a grain of
sulphiGe of calcium in syrup or granule; in
addition TO this the throat is thoroughly
sprayed every half hour with the benzoate,
this being done unfailiagly at the regular IN
tervals day and night, with no other local
treatment whatever. No attempt is made to
disIodge the false membrane. The nourish
ment consists of beef Juice, tender meat, milk,
etc, but bread and all other articles which
NAV cause irritation of the throat are forbid

BUSINESS FAIR FOR THE TINE OF
THE YEAR.
Collections are Much Better Than
Was Reported a Month or
So Ago.
Speculative Markets are Dull, Indicating
Firmer Legitimate Trading
Money is Generally Easier
Figures Show a Return of Foreign Capital
Farm Products Evinee Better
Feeling-The Weeks Failures

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-R. G.. Dun & Co.
perhaps little more than usual dizziness
| for the first half of January, business still
progresses without monetary pressure, OF
unusual embarrassment from the failure
of collections in any part of the country.
While failures at some points are numer-
Gus, the aggregate is less than for the cor
responding week of last year, and complaint
of collections is much less frequent thann a
month ago. Within thirty or sixty days
payments on large fall purchases will be
required, and some increase III failures
would not be surprising, for the shrinkage
in business toward the end of last year in.
Dictated that there had been oyer-cOnfident
buying in some departments. But the
new year opens with less embarrassment
from that or other causes than was reason
ably apprehended.
Speculative markets are generally dull,
which is not Il bad symptom for legitimate
trade Industries are somewhat disturbed
by strikes and by legislative or bust
ness uncertainties. Shortness of supplies
and high prices disturb manufacturers at
nate for northern iron producers that they
are just now led by the temporary stop
page of some furnaces to hold prices
firmly when southern makers are effecting
contracts at $50 for No. | and $40 for mill
iron. In rails there is no change. Sales
OF bar iron at 100 at Philadelphia show a
weakness. while the nail market is sitter.
The unusual prosperity of the cotton mar
ket, with fair prices and we'll sustained
demand has led to the demand for higi
wages tor spinners, which threatens to end
in a serious strike. At present the effort
is to hasten purchasers and stitfen prices.
Other Industries are progressing satisfac-
torily and in lead the production OF 10000
tons. and in copper the production of 1S2,
500, 900 pounds surpass all previous records.
REPORTS from the interior show fewer
features of interest than usual, trade being
everywhere quiet or dull, as is usual at this
season. money being generally easier, with
some tendency to stringency at St Paul.
Figures indicate that the return
of foreign capital from this coun-
try has been considerable during abe
past six weeks, and though prices in the
stock market do not decline, movements
indicate foreign investments are in
creasing.
