LETTER

Mr.. f. \. Slack. of the Cheyenne SIN
publicly proclaimed last evening that THE
LEADER would not publish the second Of
the Peck series of letters as printed in the
New York Times and reprinted in an
other column OF this paper. By what re-
maIkable combination OF circumstances he
arrived at this conclusion we are at u loss
to imagine, but it is quite apparent that
he doesn't know nearly as much about
what this paper will or will not do as he
thinks he does. II he only knew it he per-
haps has his hands pretty full in trying to
speak for himself without assuming any
grandiose airs and affecting TO speak for
others about whom he knows nothing.
In the good old days it used to be a
rule of party newspapers TO suppress any
thing of a ~derogatory nature that might
crop out regarding a prominent party
leader of their own faith. Instead of
publishing the charges and publicly re-
iuting them they hid their little heads in
the sand like the ostrich and imagined
btNhhHt Ahtl AhtlloSlNeS hbIC Dlluu Ut as
sumed to be blind everyone else suffered
from a similar affection. Experience has
long since exploded this iallacy. 1t is
not now considered evidence of good
journalistic sense for an editor to allude
to such matters by inuendoes and sup.
press altogether the statements OF fact
from the other side, because this very
suppression ~magniiies in the eyes of the
public the Importance of the charges.
The object of publishing a newspaper,
we take it, is not the suppression but the
publication of news. Whatever may be
said against Judge Peek himself his let
tiers have attracted widespread attention
and therefore are matters of much local
interest
As the readers of The LEADER desire
To read them they arc rcpublished inIhese

A Multitude or Ailments,

The ailments which afiict the kidneys
and bladder are so numerous, that merely
to name them would fill a space far out
running the limits of this article. Suffice
it to say, that they are both obstinate and
dangerous. To their prevention Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is well adapted.
The stimulus which it lends to the action
of the kidneys when they are lethargic,
serve to sounteract a tendency in them to
lapse, first. into a state OF pernicious in
activity, and afterward into one of posi-
tive organic disease, which soon destroys
their delicate integuments, poisons the
blood and causes death. A double pur-
pose is served by this depurcnt. 1t pro-
NOTES actiqity of the kidneys and expels
impurities from the blood which have no
natural channel of outlet except these
organs. Constipation, biliousness, lever
and ague, rheumatism and dyspepsia, are
also remedied by this medicine of thorough

The French government has made a
grant of Sos, 900 a year to defray the ex-
penses of the Pasteur institute, in Paris,
the cost of founding which-several hun
bred thousand dollars-was contributed
by various governments and private in
dividuals. The purpose OF this institute
is, as all know, the prosecution OF expert
mental research with a view to the cure
of hydrophobia-in any country a very
rare disease. Diphtheria, scarlet fever,
typhoid fever, measles, yellow fever,
cholera and other preventable diseases,
IN the other hand, count their victims
by thousands; yet there is in 10 coun-
try a special establishment in which
any ono Of them can be scientifically
studied, and better means arrived ut for
their prevention or their cure, and arrest
from spreading. All contagious diseases
are preventable. For their development
two things are required: First, the
special germ which produces them; sec
ond. suitable bodily conditions L allow
it to flourish.
II we could destroy their germs, they
would cease. But to do this would ne
cessitate universal cooperation on the
part of all individuals in the community,
which is practically impossible, The bet
ter way is 10 secure such bodily condi-
ion as will prevent their development.
The success that has attended vaccina-
ton for smallpox, and is nov attending
vaccination for hydrophobia, points 10
the likelihood OF achieving this by some
process of vaccination for diphtheria,
typhoid fever, scarlet fever, etc. Why
will not some large minded and philan-
tluropic person or persons endow IN in
stitute or institutes in this country, as
individuals and governments have done
in France, for the purpose of studying
these more fatal and common diseases,

Not Real Live Frogs,

of the well known wits of the Clover

private dinner was ordered in the hotel.

of the dinner, by some piece of i'll luck,
1t was found that the supply of frogs had
failed, and the question of where TO OBJ

In this emergency, as the proprietor of
the hotel was bewailing his hard fate.
our Clover club friend approached and
asked what was the matter. He was
told the sad state OF affairs.

frogs, that's all right. have two dozen
large ones in the fountain on my place In

offer was accepted with elusive thanks.

and dispatched for the frogs, and both

In about two hours he returned. and
his face wore a sort of puzzled express

COOKING COIL

A LEADER reporter yesterday secured
from Special Agent Fulton a chunk of
coal which presents as fine an appearance
as any which has yet been procured in
the territory. 1t comes from the divide
between Skull and Salt creek, in the
Black Hills country south of Sundance
and very close to the Y I ranch of Hun
ter & Bergman. The disco Sery of the
coal has been purely accidental as there
were no surface indications of it. 1t LAYS
in very regular layers which, so far as they
have been developed. maintain a uniform
thickness of about eight feet. Fitzpatrick
Bros. the railroad contractors, have about
100 men employed in that vicinity, de-
veloping the mines, working a saw mill
and getting out timber for the came.
MIR. Hemingway, who is in charge of the
coal development and who has given the
subject his life long attention, says the
coal is a coking coal of the very finest
quality.
Should this prove to be the TACT it is
the greatest discovery that has yet been
made in the territory. The one thing
most needed in the d~evelopement of the
territorial resources has been cokiug coal.
We have coal in abundance, and iron orc
and oil, but coking coal, a necessary In.
gredient in the manufacture of iron
had never heretofore been discovered.
The coal lies at a distance of go mile:
north of Cheyenne or 100 miles north Of
the Cheyenne & Northern railway.

What He Would Have Said.

A certain lady in Paris gives periodical
dinners, at which assemble most of the
best known wits and literati of the day.
The rule of the mansion is that while
one person d|iscourses no interruption
whatever can be permitted. 1t is said
that NJ. Renan once attended one of these
dinners, and, being in excellent vein,
talked without a break during the whole
repast. Toward the end of the dinner a
guest was heard to commence sentence,
but he was instantly silenced by the
hostess. After they had left the table,
however, she at once informed the ex-
tinguished individual that, as NJ. Renan
had now finished his conversation, she
would gladly hear what he had to say.
The guest modestly declined; the hostess
insisted. II am certain it was some
thing of consequence, she said. ALAS,
madame" he answered, sit was, indeed;
but now it is o late. l should have

a Snake in the Bed.

Here is a story told by Thomas W. Knox in
his last "Boy Travellers" volume. 1t tells
about u pleasant little habit tho snakes nave
AWAY out in Australia: Fred's room was
separated from mine by a thin partition.
When Mr.. Watson left us Fred remarked that
he was quite ready for a good sleep, as he
was very tired. As he spoke he turned down
the bedclothes and then shouted for me to
come quick.
Here's a big snake in my bed p said he.
Come and help ne kill him."
Mr.. Watson heard the remark and hastened
back before I could get to where the snake
was.
Don't harm that SNAKE" said he; ''its
u pet, and belongs to my brother. It's Moth
ing hut a carpet snake"
With that Fred cooled down, but he said
he didn't want any such pet in his bed even
il it was nothing but a carpet snake. The
serpent, which was fully ten feet long, raised
its head lazily and then put it down again, as
if it was quite satisfied with the situation and
did not wish to be disturbed. Mr.. Watson
explained that the snake had no business
there, and without more ado he picked the
creature up by the neck and dragged it off to
a barrel which he said was its proper place.
After he had gone Fred and I put a board
over the top OF the barrel to make sure that
the reptile did not give US a call during the
night. Poverty is said to make one ac-
quainted with strange bedfellows, but poverty
IA surpass Australian bush life, where a
man finds a snake in his bed quite too often
for comfort.

A good COW ought to yield 600 pounds OF
cheese annually. Professor Willard takes a
COW that will yield $50 pounds a year for
twelve years, deducting the first two years
during which, as a heller, she yields nothing,
and compares her with three steers, which at
4 years old, will yield 1,0Do pounds of meat.
The COW in the time specified viii yield
400 pounds of good, wholesome food, every
pound OF which, as shown above, is so per
cent. more valuable as q nutritious food than
the meat will be. We have virtually 5000
pounds of nutriment from the dairy in
Twelve years to each steer. But taking 1t,
pound for pound, and putting it at current
prices for full cream cheese, and the beet at
more than average price for the carcass, and
what have we? The cheese ut 10 cents a
pound-the highest ruling price at this
time-would yield the gross sum OF $3.50,
while the meat, at an average price OF IL
cents, would give the gross sum of $500.
It behooves some of us, therefore, who arc
especially favorably situated for conducting
the dairy, aud are yet devoting our strength
to beef production, to go into an inyestlga-
ton OF this matter. There is beef produce
ton on farms where the dairy should be
firmly established, and tiilers of the soil Will
never get down to the most sold business
principles until they carefully institute COM
parsons between the probable profits OF dit
ferent farm enterprises.

A Fastidious Horse.

The Norwich Bulletin says there is a horse
in the town ef sprague that has to be put to
bed to be shod. Is blacksmiths do not have
beds in their shops fer the accommodation of
such eccentric animals, Mr.. Williams has to
carry a mattress and pillows where the horse
is shod. Tho horse does not like tc go to
bed, and as it takes good management to
throw him down on the mattress and got him
into a mood and q position to have the shoes
put on his hoofs, few blacksmiths like to I'M
dertake the job. A Norwich man has lone
the job repeatedly, and almost always the
horse is driven to this city to have new shoes
put upon him.. The horse is thrown down on
the mattress and held there by straps across
the body, and the owner insists on haying the
horses head bolstered up in a comfortable
position with two pillows while the work is
being done. There is not, probably, another
horse in New England that requires a mat
tress and pillows to be shod upon.
