WAGON SOLICITING AID.

Those interesting themselves in the mat
ter of raising aid decided yesterday TO put
wagons out today to call on the leading
establishments seeking provisions or any
thing else that will assist the poor people
of Stanton county. So far there has been
very little organized effort in the matter
and hence little done Many say they will
give so and SO but have no way of getting
it to the car and this suggested the idea of
wagons TO make the rounds. Any one
wishing to donate money can do so and it
will be exchanged for corn quite readily.
The wagons will bear sign indicating
purpose and any one seeing it can halt
and make contribution without offend
ing the driver in the least.

sentative leaves this morning for home

The Lander Clipper, a Republican
newspaper, is decidedly magnanimous to
say the least of it. This is the way il
talks: "We do not know how the FIRE.
mont bar feels about the appointment OF
a chief Justice for the territory, but for
our part if the matter is between M. G.
Brown of Laramie and w. w. Corlett Of
Wyoming, our preference would be de.
cidcdly in favor of the latter. We dc
not belong to that class who look upon
the place Of a mans residence as having
anything to do with his fitness for office.
If all the best men lived in Cheyenne our
theory would be give Cheyenne all the of.
fees. But then the territory claims Cor
lett and there is no nook or corner, ham.
let or school district that would not fee
honored by his appointment"
On the proposition that Cheyenne Re
publicans should get all the offices we dc
not believe there will be much difference
of opinion among Cheyenne Republicans.

Clothing q ship in steeL.

Two or three months or less after the
completion of the fairing the ship is
probably in frame and looks like the
skeleton of some Brobdignagian mon
ster that has stranded ON the bank of
the river. The ribs have been hoisted
into position at right angles with the
keel, and strung together by rib bands,
and already there are signs of the coming
subdivision by decks and bulkheads of
the hollow space within. You can still
sec through her, however; she is like, to
make yet another comparison, q great
oblong wicker basket, the supple willows
being represented by the network of
steel. The next step Is the clothing of
ribs with plates.
As they reach the yard the plates are
square and flat, but they are passed
through rollers of various kinds, from
which they issue In any shape desired
followed like a spoon, curved length
wise or breadthwise or d~iagonally, as
the contour of the ship may call for. A
steam or hydraulic plane smooths them
down as though they were the softest Of
Viii wood; another machine trims the
edges as easily as n woman cuts silk with
q pair of scissors. Then, suspended by
iron chains, they are thrust between the
jaws of a punching machine, which has
resemblance to a sinister human face
with a flat nose, a long upper lip and a
small chin. The jaws close upon them
and bite out, ten at a time, the holes for
the rivets by which they are to be fas-
tened to h frame.-Scribner's.

The verdict Unanimous.

w. ID. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind,
t~estifies: II can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of rheumatism of ten years standing"
Abraham Hare, Druggist, Bellville, O.,
afirms: "The best selling medicine l
have ever handled in my twenty years
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thous-
ands of others have added their testi-
mony, so that the verdict is unanimous
that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases
OF the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a
half dollar a bottle at w. N. Hunts drug
store.

The sum of 1868 was raised In a few

THEY SHOULD ALL HELP Us.

The Omaha Bee has this to say: IVY
oming has taken tho bits into her own
mouth and proposes to make a way into
statehood despite all obstacles. Governor
Warren has just issued a proclamation
calling for an election of the delegates to
a constitutional convention in September,
aud the people of the state have entered
heart and soul into the project. There is
but one thing that stands between Wyom-
ing and statehood, and that is the requisite
population. But where there is a will
there is a way, and with push and pluck
Wyoming will ere long overcome this bar
rier."
Nebraska had a population OF $1,000
when it was admitted to the Union.
Surely she has no cause for complaint
should Wyoming be admitted with twice
the population which she then had.
On the subject of admission of the ter
r%itories, the Western states should be a
unit The growth and development Of
one section must necessarily aid the
whole.
There are many questions of national
importance upon which the West must
take issue with the East. Eventually the
trans Mississippi section must overshadow
the Eastern section in wealth,
and importance. 1t is therefore TO the
personal interest Of every newspaper in
the West to do everything in its power to
aid the admission Of a territory. for by 80
doing it is building up an ally which may
Weld a powerful influence some day.
We do not believe in ~sectionalism, but
we certainly do believe that the West is
not receiving its Just amount of consider
alton from the national government.
When We are in a position to demand a
favor it will be readily granted us.
Let this nonsense about population be
dropped for good by Western papers.
None of the states so far admitted have
had anything to brag about in this re-
spect- Let them give us a boost when
ever they can, for in aiding us they are
indirectly aiding themselves.

UNCLE JED AND JAMIE.

lie was neither tramp, drunkard, =,
nor pauper, though stranger encount-
ering Uncle Jed might, at casual
glance, have easily mistaken for either
the grizzled, slouching figure in garments
much the worse for wear, frayed and
ragged hat-brim, and broken shoes often
bound about and held together with
twine and withes of bark. But closer
inspection would have noted that the
lines on his face We're not those which
dissipation leaves, and that despite his
unkempt appearance there was about him
an air of sturdy independence, as of one
who felt Il right to his own place in the
world, while the small troop of children
that, mixed with shaggy dog or two,
unusually followed close at his heels,
chubby and robust as to face and form,
though somewhat dishevcled and dilapi-
dated as to garments and hats, showed
that whatever his circumstances, he was
decidedly a man of family.
In fact, Uncle Jed, or more correctly
speaking, Jeduthan Cranston, was both a
householder and landowner, and his
excursions, so frequent as to almost seem
continuous, along the quiet country road,
through the bit of woodland. over the
long hill, and between the rolling fields
were IN the nature of a progress from the
weather beaten, little old house that
formed his residence to his "other place. "
something like mile distant. To be sure,
neither estate was of great extent, vet
sufficient in the hands of an energetic.
thrifty man to have rendered him in
farmer phrase ''free-handed." But Uncle
Jed's industry was never of the violent
kind. In a desultory sort of way he
managed to raise enough to fill the
mouths of the flock who filed the old
house till it seemed in danger of bursting.
For the rest if pane of glass chanced
to get broken there were plenty of
hats lying about with which to replace it
and if the barn door threatened to part
from its hinges rail propped against it
could keep it in position, all of which
seemed to trouble the plump, placid wife
of his bosom as little as it did Uncle Jed
himself. Perhaps had his farms been adj
jacent his working hours might have been
less intermittent, but his jaunts from one
to the other were apt to be broken by
periods of repose, if the weather invited,
under the shade OF a roadside tree or d
perch on the rail fence that enticingly
