GETTING READY.
Precincts for the Coming Election
Designated.
The South Side, in this City, to
Have a Polling Place.
One More Precinct Than Before the
Creation of Converse County.

At the adjourned meeting of the county
commissioners yesterday all members of
the board were present.
The resignation of w. R. st. Clair as
justice of the peace for IVA precinct was
received and placed on file.
The notice of the general election sent
out by the territorial secretary was read
and ordered filed.
In the matter of a petition for a county
road from a point on the Nebraska line
near J.. II. Gordon's ranch to a point on
the Cheyenne-For Laramie road in sec,
ton 20, township Is, range 81 west. w.
G. Lykins, l.. Ashenfelter and d. Nc
Ulvan were appointed viewers and Sept.
IL fixed as a day OF meeting.
The board designated the following vot-
ing precincts for the coming election:
Cheyenne No. l, Cheyenne No. 2,
Cheyenne No. 8, Bordeaux, Chugwater,
Islay, Egbert, Fort Laramie, Granite
Canyon, Hartville, Hawk Springs,
Hubert, Iron Mountain, Iva, Little Bear,
1lIlle IlOrSC CTeSk, unOTdu, tine DluuS,
Phillips, Pole creek, Collins Told Pratt &
Ferris), Rawhide Buttes, Silver Crown.
Upper Horse creek, Wheatland, Wend-
over, Hauphoff, Patrick, Walker. Willow
creek, Swedish Home, Fairbank.
Cheyenne precinct, No. 8, is the most
important new one. 1t will embrace all
that portion south OF the Union Pacific
railway tracks. The polling place will
probably be at the new j. T. Clark hose
house. The establishment of this pre-
cinct was a wise move. Heretofore the
south side has never polled full vote on
account of the isolation from the re-
mainder of the city.
Before the creation of Converse county
there we're thirty-one precincts in Lara
mic county as against thirty-two this year,
evidencing a steady growth IN population.
The county clerk has already placed
with the printer orders fornew poll books,
and everything will be in readiness for
the coming election IN the shortened
county.

company last evening Capt. E. s. Smith,
on behalf of Col. Luke Murrin, presented
the organization with a handsomely
framed photograph of Tom Mulqueen,
one Of the veteran members of the com

rim for the gift, and Toms" phiz was

"wooLEYn WEST DEMOCRACY.
Opinion of a Leading Wool Grower on
the Tariff Questions.

The Tall Sycamore of Sugar creek was
in tow yesterday, accompanied by ex-
Sheriff l. g Miller, another fine gentle
mau of the same bailiwick and political
faith. When the pair boarded the train
at Rawlins a spirited tariff debate was in
progress between the editor of a Portland,
Ore. Democratic newspaper and three
high protective tariff men, one of whom
is an iron manufacturer.
The discussion became warmer and
warmer, but Dixon only continued to
travel in Paris with lola while Mr.. Miller
applied himself with more energy to the
task of converting a cigar into smoke and
ashes. An open rupture seemed immi-
nent, when a brakeman suggested that
the debaters ask Mr.. Miller's opinion,
stating that tho ex-sherif was a citizen of
the territory and a heavy wool grower.
The trio literally alighted upon the
Rawlins man, who, much to their
chagrin, delivered himself thusly: II
raised 200, 600 pounds of wool this season
and marketed it without the assistance OF
commission men. | sold it in the same
way last year. As to protection, | don't
care if all the tariff is taken off wool. l
have had eleven years experience in the
business and am fully convinced that the
producer isnot the protected party. When
raw wool is free, like plate glass, the de-
mand will increase and prices will be reg
ulated accordingly, manufacturers and
commission men to the contrary notwith-
standing. Give me a rest on your tariff
fallacy. l am for Cleveland and Thur
man."
As Mr.. Miller concluded the Hon. ].
R. Dixon smole a smile and the Oregonian
swore by the beard of the prophet that he
was a level headed citizen.

The Biting Tongue

SANDER attacks us from behind. The
bite is rarely felt unless it is maliGnlnt
and persistent. Disease too often steals
upon us through a vital channel. The
air we breathe affects the lungs-if it be
malarious it enters the blood, if it change
too quickly in the temperature it pro.
duces disease of the throat. etc. Whether
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is taken to
prevent or to remedy the various forms
of disease produced by miasma. such as
intermittent fever, dumb ague. ague cake
or bilious remittent, it is and has proved
to be anc Elective and thorough remedy
one which does not only ameliorate the
symptoms of the maladies of this type, but
eradicates their cause. Dyspepsia. liver
complaint, rheumatism, bladder and kid
ney troubles are among the humanity
affecting troubles which it promptly re
lieyes and ultimately removes.

two custom house rangers came into New
Laredo with the dead body of q man
whom they had found at point twenty
miles down the river called Ell Arroyo
Cayote, The victim was young man,
as he had no beard. His head
had literally been pounded to Jelly
with rocks, several of which were
picked up around the spot where he was
found. His name is not known, nor can
any one be found in that city to identity
MIN. His pockets had been turned, and
robbery hsd evidently been the object Of
the murder. AS yet no clew can be found
So TO who perpetrated the cruel murder.
No letter or anything was found about
his person by which he could
be identified, and who or
what he was will probably remain
a mystery as The identity of SO many VINO
have been killed on this border within
the past twenty-five years. Seyersl

work the day before and they told him
they were running q line to Leon juno
ton. He said they had examined ACROSS
Ing on the river and pronounced 1t 8 good
one.
A Mr.. Williamson, who lives on the
line run by Mr.. HIgdon last fall from
Marble Falls to Llano, said he raw the
same corps of surveyors, snd they told
him pretty much the same as Mr.. Thomp-
son, also that direct line to Leon juno
ton would leave Lampasss few miles TO
the left (the nortb) Both gentlemen
said they were making careful survey,
snd expressed the opinion that the road
would be built as the surveyors were
working for the St. Louis, Arkansas and
Tt xss Railway.
Another gentleman, whose name we are
not st liberty to mention for reasons eD-
tirely satisfactory to US, said that he had
it from the best authority that they are
surveying d line for the st. Lou g, Ar
kansas and Texas Railway, and that grad-
ing will begin soon. In fact, everything
indicates an early extension Of the road
The country through which it will be
