Didn't Like the Principle of 1t.

Lltawlins Journal
A disguised Democrat was Mr.. X. G..
Mayor last Tuesday evening. The Jour
nGL, we are sorry to say, was the innocent
cause of the aforesaid disgust. A little
after ! o'clock Tuesday afternoon the
Journal received a Chicago special an.
nouncing that President Harrison has
nominated Hon. +. f. Warren for COVER
nor of Wyoming" The intelligence was
Immediately bulletined and the Journal
flag run up. When Mr.. Mayor learned
the cause of our apparent hilarity, he
Immediately sent over for his bill, order
ing his paper and advertisement stopped,
subsequently calling and settling, remark
ing that he would stay with the admins
tration as long as it lasts, that the Journal
outfit were a lot of mugwumps, 20 run
up a flag over a democratic defeat. AS
to our politics. as well as those of Mr..
Mayor, we will leave the city, county and
territory to decide. Unfortunately, per,
haps, for %ourselt, we have resided in
Wyoming a couple of weeks, and are
pretty well known, there not now being
fifty men living in Wyoming who cast
their fortunes with this great common
wealth before our appearance upon the
scene.

The Greatest Rnn Ever Made.

BUFFALO, April IA remarkable feat
of railroading was performed to day on
the Erie railway. A locomotive of Amer
lean manufacture hauled the Buffalo day
expires the entire distance from Jersey
City to Buffalo, 423 miles. This is the
and arrived at Buffalo exactly on time,
1920 D. m. A speed of over a mile a
minute was attained on several occasions.
The train will leave Buffalo at $50 a. IN.
and will reach New York at ll:l5 p. IN.
The same engine will take the train back.

An interesting case of trial for at
tempted bigamy was summarily disposed
of by Judge Ridley in the criminal court.
Charles Ready is a negro. Upon an in
dictment of bigamy he was brought into
court the other day to answer a charge
of attempting to commit bigamy by
using a bogus license. The facts were
fully established, but the judge gave a
verdict of not guilty. There can be no
bigamy or attempt at bigamy," he said,
''unless the license is genuine" He
therefore dismissed the case. Ready
was held in custody, however, as it is
understood he has actually married sew
eral women and is still subject to indict-
ment for bigamy.-Nashville American.

The ntomnch ni.riI. acIns-

These, if existent in a natural quantity,
and unvitiated by bile, play their part in
the functions of digestion and assimila-
ton. But the artificial acid resulting
from the inability of the stomach to con-
vert food received by it into sustenance,is
the producer OF fatulence and heartburn
which are the most harrassing symptoms
of dyspepsia. The best carminative is
Hostettcr's Stomach Bitters. Far more
effective is it than carbonate of soda,
magnesia or other alkaline salts. These
invariably weaken the stomach without
producing permanent benefit. No man
or conan chronically dyspeptic, and con
s~equently nervous. can be in possession Of
the full measure of vigor allowed by ma
ture. Therefore, invlgorate and regulate
the system. and by so doing protect it
from malaria, rheumatism and other seri
Gus maladies.

A High Singer.

The lark ascends until it looks no larger
than n nudge, and can with difficulty be
seen by the unaided eye, and yet every
note will be clearly audible to persons
who are fully half a mile from the nest
over which the bird utters its song.
Moreover, it never ceases to sing for a
moment, a feat which seems wonderful
to us human beings, who find that asong
of six or seven minutes in length, though
interspersed with rests and pauses, is
more than trying. Even a practiced pub
lie speaker, though he a pause at the
end of each sentence, finds the applause
of the audience a very welcome relief.
Moreover, the singer and speaker need to
use no exertion save exercising their
voices. Yet the bird will pour out a con-
tinuous song of nearly twenty minutes
in length, and all the time has to sup
port itself in the air by the constant use
of its wings.-The Naturalist.

A JOLLY TRIO.
Three Level Headed len who Repre-
sent the Northwestern.

Among the gentlemen attending the
live stock meeting are Charley Hughes,
superintendent of the Black Hills divi-
sion; Tom Horn, superintendent of the
South Platte division, and Hugh j. Chit
tick, general stock agent of the Chicago &
Northwestern, about as lively and ener-
getic a triumvirate as any railroad turns
u Mr.. Hughes has been connected
with the Northwestern for twenty-seven
years and Mr.. Horn for twenty-one years,
and both are thoroughly proficient in
every practical detail of railroad building
aud management. A party of Eastern
admirers of Mr.. Horn recently selected
him as president of what was known as
the Wyoming and Elkhorn Pipe Line
company. but which has since been irrev-
erently styled the Skimmerhorn outfit.
The scheme was to take the oil as it came
fresh and reeking from the wells in the in
terror of the territory and turn it loose
into Dry creek. Under natural dydro
static laws this would carry the oil with
the water into Buffalo creek and thence,
equally as a matter of course, it would
follow down the North Platte river. At
Fremont the design was to construct two
immense towers, one at each side OF the
classic Platte, and by means of an elab-
orate system of skimmers separate the
oleoginous from the aqueous fluid and
raising it into tanks have it carried by
pipes to the expectant and enthusiastic
people of Omaha. Theoretically the
thing is a bowling success, but it
hasn't yet been put into practical opera
ton.
Mr.. Hughes has cultivated singing as a
side accomplishment and has a baritone
voice hat would charm the lyric stage.
Mr.. Chittick is already well known here
and with his two companions numbers
among his friends everyone with whom
he has come in contact up to this stage

Mr.. Crumpton, who lives in the Arkan-
sas flats, seven miles south of Quanah,
had an inkling that something was going
wrong around his place, and determined
TO seek out the trespasser. Going n short
distance from his house, he entered a
cave, and in the darkness was confronted
with a pair of fierce, glaring Eyes and
rumbling growls. Whipping out his re-
volver he shot ct his mark, when a
scream was uttered and suddenly an
panther sprana upon him,
knocking him some feet backward, when
a hand to hand fight ensued. After a
fierce struggle and being violently
scratched in the face, Mr.. c. finally sue
ceeded in firing the fatal shot which
stretched his game out. The animal was
dragged from the cave and measured
over nine feet.-Carter Eagle.

After the recess of the Court Of General
Sessions yesterday, DR.. Taylor returned
to court. He understood that Miss Sulli-
Il in her case against Lockwood, in
tended to make o charge against him or
connect his name in an unpleasant man
ner with the case.
After he had testified he waited until
she had finished her first testimony, in
which she did not mention his name, n
having no idea that she would be re-
called he went away. AS soon as he
learned that she had made accusations
against him he fastened to the Court
House and went on the stand aud denied
positively hat anything about malprac-
tice had been said TO him by either Miss
Sullivan or Lockwood at his Office or else
where, or that he had ever offered to be a
party to it.
This concluded the evidence and ex-
Judge Hoffman began his address to the
Jury on behalf of Lockwood. Ex-Judge
Hoffman is always eloquent and yester-
day he was up to his standard. The Pros
ecutor made an earnest appeal for the
State.
The Jury were out three-fourths of an
hour n rendered a verdict of guilty on
the second count in the Indictment.
