AT Omaha the Union Pacific is doing
some tall figuring on the revised time
card to take effect about the middle of
next month. The worst trouble is in ar
ranging for trains 5 and G, the thunder
bolt mails. 1t is the intention to have
these fast trains very light and frst-class
in every particular. The latest plan is
for two mail cars, a combination baggage
and two sleepe-s. After a time there
may be a sixth car, either a mail or diner.
The operating department will make a
stubborn fight against the addition of a
heavy dining car. These new trains will
make fewer stops on the Wyoming divis-
ion than did the Golden Gate special.

Henry Hoffman, the expressman, found
the badly decomposed remains of an in
FAINT at the dump grounds Yesterday. The
body had been wrapped in swaddling
clothes and placed in a box. IT had been
exposed to the elements for fully a month.
There was much speculation on the. case,
but the concessus of opinion was that
some poor family had resorted to this
heartless method of burYing its dead. The
find was made Yesterday morning and the
matter called to the attention OF the coro-
ner by a LEADER reporter last evening,
Mr.. Chafin did not decide as to what he
would do but rather thought an investi-
CATION unnecessary.

WYOMING FORESTS.
An Excellent Letter on Territorial
Timber by N. N. Grant.
Much Lumber has been Used, but a
Great Deal More Burned.
Some Sensible Recommendations
by a Practical Man.

Hon. NJ. N. Grant, territorial auditor,
has. in compliance with urgent requests,
written an excellent letter to the Ameri-
can forestry commission on the subject of
Wyoming timber. He says:
By knowledge gained during a residence
of nineteen years in Wyoming | am JUS
titled in stating that millions of railroad
tiers and millions of feet OF lumber and a
vast amount of timber for fuel, fencing
and mining purposes have been taken
from the public domain. In addition 10
this, probably twenty times as much tim
Der has been destroyed by forest fires.
We are now mining over one and a
half million tons of coal per year. and |
feel confident that this amount will be in
creased to three millions in the next five
years. Railroads should be furnished all
the timber necessary for construction
and equipment and be given every posi-
BILE encouragement as they are i%ndispensi-
BILE to the development of our vast de-
posts of coal. iron, soda. asbestos, gold,
oilfCi. COpDCi Nv ObhCi aAo ~ 70
necessary Tor us to have lumber to build
towns, also for the ranchman to
improve bis land and make it productive.
The profits of the government would be
a hundred fold greater to encourage the
settler and the railroads to develop our
great than to retard it BY ad-
verse legislation. My plan would be to
protect against forest fires. | would have
agents look after this and give them nee
essary authority to require any citizen TO
assist them in case of a fire and properly
compensate them for services SO rendered.
l would have rules prepared by the sec
rotary OF the interior to govern the agents.
requiring them to designate how much
and what kind of timber should be re
moved; not to exceed, however, one half
of the timber per acre and no timber to
be removed that is less than eight or ten
inches in diameter two feet above the
ground. In this way all the young and
thrifty growth would be preserved for fur
Their use and leave sufficient timber to
prevent the rapid melting of snow in the
spring and prevent spring foods.
l would place no restriction on the use
of timber for the Improvement of ranches.
There should be no provision for the
use or removal OF dead timber, for this
would be an announcement to set fires to
deaden timber In order to get the use of
it, | do not mean to convey the idea that
any special provision is needful or proper
concerning such timber, but on the other
hand; that no distinction should be made
in Legislation as has been suggested by
some persons, between live and dead tim
Der. Such discrimination would lead to
abuses

JUSTICE.
A Remarkable Court Martial at Fort
Washable.

In the case of Private William G.
Cooper, who was court martialed at Fort
Washakie in the latter part of July last,
found guilty, and sentenced to be dis
charged from the army and sent to the
penitentiary for one year, not a single
motion or objection made by his at
torney was sustained by the court.
Cooper was defended by j. I. Norton,
and the proceedings, says the Lander
Clipper, show that he made twenty-one
motions during the trial and that every
n OF them was overruled by the court.
The reviewing authority of the depart
ment of war now says: Cooper ought
to have been acquitted, and every motion
filed by his attorney should have been sus-
tanned. Cooper is therefore acquitted"
The charge was e peculiar one. On
the first day of July. Cooper wrote to
Attorney D. A. Preston, consulting him
professionally concerning charges Cooper
intended bringing against DIR, Hill with a
view of employing him (Preston) in the
case. This letter intimated that Col.
Burt, the commanding officer, would not
enforce military law against DR.. Hill.
Preston showed the letter to DR.. Mason,
who requested the letter that it might be
used to bring charges against Cooper for
maligning his commanding officer. Pres
ton refused to allow the letter to be used
for any such purpose. He afterwards,
however, showed the letter to DR.. Hill.
who no sooner saw it han he determined
to possess it. The proceedings show
that he told Preston he was going to take
hat letter and that he he did take it
without Preston's knowledge or consent.
Mason preferred the charges against
Cooper, which were that "he had written
what was false and known to be false
when it was written"

Witches Plants.

In most countries certain plants are
to be found associated with witches
and their craft. Shakespeare causes
one of the witches to discourse of root
of ''hemlock digg'd i the dark !" like
wise also of slips of yew silver'd in
the moons eclipse" Verain was in
olden times known as "the enchant-
er's plant" rue, again, was regarded
as an antidote against their spells and
Vaccinations. Their Partially for
certain trees is well known. Accord
ing to Grimm, the trysting place of
the Neapolitan witches was a walnut
tree near Benevento. In walnut and
elder trees they are also said to be in
the habit of lurking at nightfall.
Witches, too, had their favorite flow
ers. Among these the foxglove was
known as the witches BELLS" the
harebell as the witches thimbles. :"
Tradition asserted that on moonlight
nights they might be seen flying
through the air, mounted on the stems
of the ragwort, reeds or bulrushes.
Throughout Germany it is believed
that witches career through the mid
night skies on hay. Many plants were
pressed into service as charms and
spells for the detection of witches and
evil spirits when wandering about on
their nefarious errands, particularly
the st. Johns wort, still largely worn
by the German p~easantry as a kind of
amulet on st. Johns eve.-Exchange.
