Leander Richardson, the editor of the
New York Dramatic NeioS and Sporting
Age, who is one of the most widely
known journalists in the United States,
has writton a novel called Lord Dun
mersey," which is about to be published
by John Delay of New York. The book
tells the story of a bogus English lord in
New York, where he is petted, feted, and
assisted in his netarious schemes by the
toadies of society, until he succeeds in
surrounding himself with complications
that lead to his ruin. This parsonage,
though a rascal, Is as pluckY as they make
them, and is a picturesque and brilliant
figure Maurice BARRYMORE, the well known
and brilliant literatuer and actor. says of
Mr.. Richardson's story: 1T is the best,
most powerful and intensly dramatic tale
| have read in years, and it is absolutely
original"

AWAY FOR TWO WEEKS.
DIR. Birney Summoned to Nebraska as
an Expert Witness.

Much to the regret of his many patients
and a large number of citizens who wish
immediate treatment for nose and throat
troubles, DIR. Birney, the specialist who
has so successfully treated the afflicted
here. will leave the city to-day and be alb,
sent about two weeks. He has been sum
moned to Nebraska as an expert witness
in a big murder trial.
DIR. Birney has created somewhat of a
sensation in Cheyenne. He is a genial,
affable gentleman, who makes friends
readily and retains them. He is a perfect
master of the newly discovered electrical
treatment for all nose and throat trouble
and confines himself strictly to this prac
tice. He has been a graduate of medi-
cine and surgery ten years, five of which
were spent in a noted institute in Chicago.
The electrical treatment has been known
less than two years and DR.. Birney is one
of its leading demonstrators. He has i'm
proved upon it in several directions and
devised a number of instruments. The
ground work of the system is cauteriza-
ton of the affected parts. This is
done with fine wires charged from
a powerful battery. Application OF cocaine
makes all operations absolutely painless.
Three patients told a reporter Just as
they left the chair that there was nothing
unpleasant about the dreaded ordeal.
DIR. Birney is one of the few practitioners
who actually cure 'catarrh. His atomizer
for the introduction Of medicines into the
head is a new thing and perfect in its APP
plication.
Thus. r. Reid, the well known Union
Pacific engineer, who has suffered for
years from a polypus on either side of the
nose, called on DIR. Birney as a last resort.
He is delighted with the result, saying
that the electrical surgeon shared and re-
moved the torments without any trouble
at all. Mr.. Reid left his work only one
day. This instance illustrates the great
est merit of the electric treatment. There
was not the bleeding which makes knife
surgery in the nose almost impossible.
In two weeks DR.. Birney will return to
Cheyenne and remain several months,
practically locating here. He will fit up
offices in elegant style and send for the re-
mainder OF his instruments. The doctor
has made nan engagements to treat peo-
pie when he returns.

Chief Engineer Clark returned from
Plainview, Neb., last night and left for
Chicago a few hours later. He has been

estimates on each of the three lines west
of Plainview has been made. Mr.. Clark

But tell my mother In the village,

To pray for me with folded hands"
The soldiers dead; his mother and his sweetheart
They pray for him with folded hands.

And all the earth was red
Wherein they laid him Z
The sun beheld him thus, and said:

And flowers clustered on his grave
And were contented there to bloom
And when the wind would roar
Among the trees,
Then asked the soldier from his deep, dark grnyei

"NayI' said the wind, my gallant hero,
Nay; thou hast died In battle, but the flag
Hath won the day. Thy comrades
Have carried 1t away full happily"
Then said the soldier from his deep dark grave: :
II am contented-"
And then he hearkened TO the wandering
OF herds and shepherds, and he asked:

"Nayr' they said; may, my gallant hero;
For thou art dead; the war is over;
Thy fatherland is free and happy"
Then said the soldier from his deep, dark grave: Z

And then he hearkened TO the lovers laughter;
And thus the soldier asked:
"Are these the peoples voices, who remember

"Nayr" spake the lovers: may, my gallant hero.
For we ore they who never do remember;
For spring hath come, and all the earth ia smiling;
We must forget the dead"
Then said the soldier from his deep. dark grave

LEGALlZED ROBBERY.
The Mora Effect OF Unjust Taxation on
its Victims.

WARSAW, N. Y. June 30.-There is
an increasing interest taken by the far
mers here in the tariff, as surely there
ought to be, for they are by no means as
prosperous as they formerly were. They
are not allowed to sell their produce at
protected" prices and our highway
men whom tariff stations along our
borders gathers tax that increases the
price of what they buy. The farmers
pay the larger portion of the tax which
goes into the pockets of the industrial
parasites that prey upon society. This
sdeprives them of their self-respect by
compelling them to submit to the die
itation of others. Where the spirit of
liberty is not dead, it provokes within
them feeling of rebellion, and makes
them hate monOpolists. 900
+ farmers sous are deserting the farms
because of the relatively decreased prof
its of farming. The man of nerve will
fight against being made slave, and
many will run away and try to become
shareholders themselves. ., ..0.:

The Prospective States.

I f
The republicans are in a state of mind
over the four territories which have
been formally invited into the Union.
Montana is almost conceded to be DEM
Ocratic, Washington is doubtful and
now the note Of alarm is sounded that
both DakOtas-"the two new states
made to be Republican"-are altogeth-
er likely to getaway. A Aeorrespondent
of the Philadelphia Press, writing from
Sioux Fall, s. D., estimates that natnr-
ally South Dakota is Republican by 20
600 majority and North Dakota, owing
to less population, is reliably $4,000
majority for the republican ticket" but
he recognizes the great danger that the
farmers alliance, the tariff reform re-
publicans and the prohibitionists may
get together with the democrats and
nominate q fusion ticket, which he says
''could, under certain conditions, win
in both north and south Dakota this
year." That is not the worst of it in
his eyes, for he continues: "Every re-
publican knows what it is to open the
gates to fusionism, especially in new
state; it sets All example and creates a
precedent which will be broken down
by hard work only, for if it once be-
comes success it will be through the
support of farmers and they are hard to
reach" There's heap o. trouble on
the g. O.. p. mind. Pain Dealer.

ing q branch Of the National Soldiers

very talkative mood when accosted.
General, how are the soldiers homes

"Splendidly. The veteran who fought
for the perpetuity Of this country, and
who now finds himself alone In the
world without means, will. not suffer.
Uncle Sam will care for him. AT the
present time In the different Soldiers
Homes throughout the county there
are nearly ten thousand veterans, and
although the membership is up, to the
average at the present time it Is only a
matter of few years until the govern
lnent will have no use for these institu-
tions. The old soldiers are passing away
very rapidlyp raH 'Nfa $500 :
what do you think of commission
er Tanners policy, as regards pensions?,'
II do not care to offer any criticism
as to the way my successor Is handling
the department. That is his business.
l am Of the opinion, however, and al
ways have been, that all soldiers who
were wounded in the war, or who con-
tracted such diseases as has incapaci-
ated them from labor, should receive
liberal pensions. 1 do not think the
money belonging to the government
should be scattered about to those who
are in want, and whose claim perhaps
is frail, to say the least. The tendency
has been in the past to throw down the
bars and let go Of the money without
proper cause. l opposed this during
my term OF office, and should oppose it
were still commissioner of pensions.

Pension SyNindIes.

The pension bureau h been captured
by the pension agents or attorneys, a
class ofpeople who could be dispensed
with to great advantage. They prey
upon the government through the Ig-
norance of pensioners and have become
notorious by swindling soldiers widows
and orphans, Tanner is the creature of
these SO called attorneys and Is under
the special command of the man Lem
on, q professional soldier and worker Of
pension claims whose cases have been
preferred and have caused no little
scandal about Washington. The assis-
tant secretary of the Interior. Tanners
chum, the fellow Bussey. has just rem
dered o decision in which he Overruled
q righteous act of the pension office in
cutting down an exorbitant charge of
All attorney for fees. Some soulless
agent roped claimant into an agree
ment to pay $25 for collecting claim
of $50. In allowing the claim the PEN
sion Office cut the attorney down to $8,
which would be 10 per. cent. of the
claim. The attorney Kicked laid the
matter before Bussey and got q decis-
ior awarding him $25, nearly one-third
of the claim. If the claimant is poor,
as probably is the case, Bussey is access
sorry to despicable swindle. The So
allowed was too much, for the attorney
no doubt belongs to the favored agents
who have only to ask q favor to have 1t
granted, and the SIT stolen would be a
large sum to the claimant. This admin
istration pretends to be deeply con-
cerned for the soldier and ostensibly
wants to pour the contents of the U. s.
treasury into the veterans purse but in
reality 1t is in league with the alleged
attorneys who are robbers of soldiers
widows orphans. The poor widows
and orphans cannot be assessed for o
campaign fund, the pension attorneys
can.--Pydi,e Dealer.
