NO APOL0GIES TO MIKE

The Denver Republican gives Wyom-
ing a mild boost towards statehood. In
it yesterdays issue it says: "a conven-
ton will probably be called in Wyoming
during this summer for the purpose of
iramirg a state constitution, in the hope
that the next congress may permit the
people of the territory to organize n state
government. Although Wyoming has
hut a small population, 1t is capable of
maintaining a state government, and con.
grcss would do well to let it into the un-
ION. The more the natural resources of the
territory are looked into, the more they
are seen to be very great. In the east
this is known to but few persons. Many
will remain Ignorant of it as long as tie
territorial government is maintained, who
would have their attention directed to
Wyoming by its admission into the I'M
ION.
Immigration and capital are needed
in Wyoming. Their coming would be
fastened by the organization of a state
government. Immigrants would soon
learn OF the inducements held out by the
new state, and capital would lose some of
its timidity in sight of the shelter of state
laws. Wyoming possesses oil, coal and
iron in great abundance. 1t also has
many thousands of acres of land that can
be reclaimed by irrigation. There is a
great deal of water 10 the streams with
which to supply irrigating bitches. The
North Platte, the Green, the Poudrc and
the Big Horn are all large rivers. There
Is, furthermore, reason To believe that a
great deal OF the eastern, and particularly
the northeastern, part of the territory
may be cultivated without irrigation"
There are very good reasons indeed to
believe that the land in some paris of the
territory can be cultivated without irrIga-
ton. The best reason that now occurs is
the fact that crops have frequently been
raised in precisely this way in various
parts of the territory.
As to population there is no need of
Colorado people expressing any squeam-
ishness. Colorado came in with a claimed
population of $4,000 thirteen years ago
and now the city of Denver has more than
twice that number of inhabitants. Ne.
braska had 10000 and Oregon only 40
900. Wyoming is lust as well fitted now
IN population, resources and possibilities
As were any of these states named at the
date when they were permitted to cast
aside the provincial form OF government.
Wyoming tacks on no apology to its ap,
plicatiou for statehood.

1t has been demonstrated that all sorts
Of skin may be tanned Beasts, birds,
fishes and reptiles have been alike
brought to the tan yard, and the prices
of their skins are regularly quoted In
the price current of The Shoe and Lea
ther Reporter. Alligator skins have long
been a favorite material for the manu-
facture of pocketbooks and satchels.
The high price which the first product
commanded o induced manufacturers
to produce limitations. These are mere
ly embossed leather. The peculiar scaly
nature of the alligator's hide is success-
fully initiated by means of steel dies,
which leave q durable impression upon
the leather so perfect in resemblance to
the genuine alligator skin that only ex-
perts can tell the difference. The same
process Is used to initiate other fancy
skins, 80 that there is no novelty that is
not initiated within three months of its
first appearance. The alligator skins
were first put on the market in 1876.
Kangaroo skins have only beer on the
market about three years. The skin Of
the, porpoise has lately been used for
shoes, and Is well considered because of
its fine grain making it waterproof. 1t
resembles a goat skin. The skin of the
seal has also been made into leather, and
sells for about $40 a dozen skins.
One Of the latest novelties is rattle
snake leather, which is used chiefly for
making pockctbooks. The notified ap-
pearance of the finished skin makes Il
pretty leather, and it is rather fashion
able. The imitation skins, made of emu
bossed sheep skin, arc already on the
market. The skin of the monkey has
also beer tanned and used for making
pocketbooks. Bear skins have long been
used with the hair on for caps and coats,
and the hides nave also been used for
leather. OF course these novelties arc
not made in large quantities, and are
mostly used for fancy trade. During
the past few years tho hides of horses
have been successfully tanned and put
upon the market as n standard article of
leather.
American kid is now taking q promi-
nent place in the leather market, and is
ven preferred to French kid by many
manufacturers, who find it quito as soft,
pliablo and durable, and much cheaper.
It is declared that American kid at
twenty-five cents n foot is equal to
French kid Mt ~fortycents. Pig skins arc
yet in demand for saddles.-New York

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 2.-The

DALLAS, TEX, Sept. SC. O'Neal
Perkins, late of Nashville. Tenn, ar
rived in Dallas to-day, and tells rather
distressing story. He, with his wife and
little two-year-old boy, left Nashville
for Dallas, where he was to engage in
manufacturing candy. They had pro-
ceeded as far as Texarkana on their route
to Dallas when Mrs. Perkins was taken
i'll which compelled them to lay over
there. Saturday morning every prepaIs@
ton was made to resume the Journey.
Mr.. Perkins carried his invalid wife ana
their two-year-Old little boy and placed
them comfortably on n seat III TeXas,
and Pacific coach that was going to L}ssA-
las via the Sherman branch. He turned
and inquired of the brakeman how long
until the train would pull out, and was
informed that 1t would leave in about
thirty minutes. He thrust his pocket
book, containing the tickets and SIOO,
which represented his haTd-earned saw
ings, into his wife S lap and with light,
jOyous step he bounded down the street
to the nearest fruit stand to get his little
boy a banana When he returned there
was no train in sight. 1t
pulled out in MI. Perkins alb
sence, and now he found himself
staring hopelessly down the smooth road
= bed with nothing to Obstruct the view.
He had neither wife, child, tickets,
friendsnor money with him, and as the
gravity of the situation slowly dawned
upon him, Mr.. Perkins felt like he was
some other man. All day he haunted
the telegraph office and railroad station
hoping to get intelligence from his wife,
but none came. He chen collected his
bewIdered thoughts and managed, after
a great deal of trouble, to secure passes
10 Dallas, where he arrived this morn
ing He could be picked out from the
crowds that thronged the streets; he
looked SO detected and fOriorn. He
made a confident of Detective Kirby,
whose big heart almost melted at the
mans sad appearance and his tale Of
woe, and together they visited every
hotel and public place in the city, but
without finding any trace of Mrs. Per-
kins. The trunks, however, were found
at the depot.
Mr.. Perkins unfolded his sad story to
the reporter, and he says there is no
power on earth that could induce his
wife to fOrsake him. He knows she is
terrible sick somewhere or else she IS the
victim of foul play. He fears the lat
ter He says she has Travelled great
deal and no sharper could get into her
confidence.
He describes her as being low in stat
ure, rather heavy set, weighing about
one hundred and twenty pounds, has
dark hair and eyes, and wears gold spec
tacles. She wore a lead cOlOred dress
trimmed in silk and a black hat. She
has with her little boy two years old.
