BOOSTING WYOMING.

There is no doubt that Wyoming easily
leads the list Of territories seeking ladmis-
sion into the Union at the present term
of congress. Her claims are treated con-
siderately by the press throughout the
country. Favorable mention of Wyo-
ming comes floating in from the most d.
vergent sources and the most unexpected
quarters.
The latest which has come to hand is
from the Tacoma GIobe. 1t says: 1T
is natural enough that Wyoming should
desire statehood and there is no reason
why that territory should not be admitted.
She has the population requisite and it is
a permanent population which is sure to
increase. Wyoming is rich in coal, iron,
precious metals, grass, cattle. petroleum,
soda, and Republicans. When the great
of the territory are brought out,
as statehood will as sist in doing, Wyo-
ming will become one OF the richest and
most productive commonwealth in the
Union. In the western center Of the ter
ritory is a region where crude soda is de-
posted in quantities sufficient to supply
the world for centuries. Near by are
sand and coal. These three, the soda
and sand for ingredients. and the coal to
supply the necessary heat in manufactur-
ing. will some day make that region the
greatest glass producing section in the
world.
The vast deposits of petroleum in
Wyoming, if brought nearer TO market,
would supply all c~hristendom for ages
with everything into which petroleum
goes. The coal fields OF Wyoming are to
all appearances inexhaustible. The coal
oil IN Pennsylvania is admittedly dimin-
Ishing, and in FIVE years. or less, the vast
deposits in Wyoming will control the
market. Railroads are being rapidly
built in the territory. Irrigation will
make splendid farms on millions OF her
acres, and we are learning anew in this
nineteenth century that irrigation beats
the natural rainfall In results. To have
water when you want it and where you
want it is a great thing. Povidence no
doubt does things very well, but Provi-
dence, plus science, is better.
1T looks now as if Wyoming will be.
come a state before the expiration of the
fifty first congress, and there can be no
doubt that her peculiarly favorable situa-
ton on the pathway between the atlantic
and Pacific, Ler grand and
great possibilities will make hat territory
one of the great and rich states of the
nation"

Forty-pino Years In Prison.

The franklin County almshouse at
present affords shelter to man who
has remarkable record in the Grim.
inal annals of this part of the state.
His name is William Pierce, and he
was released from Auburn prison u
few days ago. after serving term OF
imprisonment amounting to forty
nino years, four months and six days.
The crime for which Pierce suffered
this terrible punishment was for the
murder of his own fathc- on Jan. 10,
1889. Pierce, who was then about 16
years old, was working in the woods
with his parent, when dispute arose
over tho .use Of horse which he de-
sired to drive in the evening to attend
party or spelling school in the neigh
borhood.
The father, unable to stand the abu-
sive language of his son, attempted to
chastise him. In return, William
seized his OK and with two or three
blows killed him. The parricide was
arrested and tried in this village in
July, and sentenced to DO hanged
on Sept. 2 Of the same year. On
account of his youth Governor Sow,
ard commuted tho sentence to impris.
onment for life.
Pierce became hopelessly insane @
few years ago, and a second commu
tation was granted, which allowed his
release. Every one Of his relatives in
this county has been dead many
years, and tho story Of his crime was
almost completely forgotten-Malone
