piculafoy.s Excavation. at s,..-

One of the most important archao-
logical expeditions undertaken in
western Asia is that of M. and Nine.
Diculafoy, who were sent by the
French department of public instruc-
ton and of public works to Media and
Persia to explore the remains of the
ancient cities of those regions. Their
first expedition was undertakeni in 1881
and 1882, and their work was COM
pleted in the years 1884, 1885, 1886.
The excavations, which were carried
out with great difficulty, on account
of the fanaticism Of the inhabitants,
have yielded valuable results from an
archaeological as well as from an his
torical standpoint. The palaces of
Artaxerxes and of Darius have been
excavated, and it is now possible to re-
construct the plans of these magnih-
cent buildings. The objects collected
during these excavations have been
transported to Paris, and form one of
the most interesting departments of
the Louvre. The collections contain
polychromic bas-reliefs from the royal
palace, representing lion and warriors,
and potteries of the First and Second
century of our era. Besides architec-
tural remains, numerous inscribed
cylinders, ivory, bronze and clay OBJ
jects have been found. The palace, a
model Of which is being made, was q
magnificent building rising on a plat
form sixty feet in height, protected by
wall, and accessible only on the south
l by a large s~taircase.|Science.

Il CHANGE TO MAKE MONEK

Some time ago it was mentioned in
The LEADER that the American Agri-
euiturist had offered the following prizes:
$500 in gold for the best acre of wheat;
$500 in gold for the best acre of oats; $500
in gold for the best acre OF potatoes; $500
in gold for the best acre of corn.
To this amount the Cheyenne board
added 800 to any one in Wyoming win
ming one of the prizes. The Buffalo Echo
added $40 to any one in johnson county
winning the prize and the Buffalo Sent
mel adds 800 to any one in johnson or
Sheridan counties who are equally fortu-
nate.
1t is quite evidentfrom this that a good
deal Of interest is being aroused in the
subject all over the territory and that the
farmers are quite confident that they
stand a good show of winning one or the
other of the prizes. 1t is a sell evident
proposition that no one thing could so
cffectually advertise the territory as that
those so-called bleak and arid plains had
produced the best acre of wheat. oats.
potatoes or corn.
ln the belief that the grangers in Wy
oming are disposed 10 make a genuine
effort to capture one of the prizes and as
further arrangement THE LEADER adds a
prize of 800 in gold to any one in any
part of Wyoming who captures any Of the
prizes and, failing in this. $50 to the one
who raises the best acre of wheat, oats,
corn or potatoes as submitted and decided
in the american A0riculturist contest.
We are authorized at the same time to
duplicate this same offer on behalf of
Hon. G. p. Organ, so that the residents
OF johnson or Sheridan counties winning
the prize will in reality secure 500; those
outside of the two counties named. but
residents of the territory, will receive
$500. In case of failure to secure the
prize the resident coming closest to it will
receive a prize of 500.
This should be sufficient to stimulate
the people OF the territory to do their
very utmost. A purse of $500 for the
best acre of wheat, oats, potatoes or corn,
independent Of their intrinsic value, is
worth working for.
Let there be a united effort all along the
line

HAS BOTTOM BEEN REACHEDp

Has the cattle market finally struck
hard nan and started on its permanent
upward course2 Thus is a question which
is not only OF deep personal interest to
the stockgrowers but to every resident of
Wyoming and the West,
There is no doubt that the cattlemen
are in better spirits over the outlook than
they have been since the illusory upward
movement of last year. The stock mar
ket Of the past two weeks has tended
steadily upward and it is an encouraging
feature of the outlook that the market
has not been flooded by droves of imma-
ture cattle.
: Everybody is united on the subject that
the plethora Of cattle cannot always last.
The defamation of plains stock by the
severe winter of three years ago, the
drought of the following summer in the
Eastern and Southern cattle ranging sec
lions, coupled with the general disgust
regarding the business. induced a general
clearing up of unripe she stock, has now
h'NNSN IA maihCb u WV EtdSbDS.
Everybody realized that this sort of thing
could not be maintained indefinitely, but
the question was, when would bottom be
rcached2
The continued downward tendency of
the market to within the past two weeks
seemed to indicate that another season of
low prices was in prospect. but with up
ward prices being maintained stifly and
steadily without a rush of cattle from all
quarters Of the compass and the import
ers still crying for more, there is well
grounded hope that the cattlemen this
season may, have an opportunity of par
tally recouping themselves.
The prospect is certainly brighter in
this respect than it has been for three
years and we hope the coming fall may
bear out the pleasant promises Of the
spring.

Some Sensible Words About Whiskey

Judge Amos Briggs is a candidate
for the Judgeship of Chester county,
Pa, and in reply to letter asking
him if he will grant any license to sell
intoxicating liquor in that county in
the event of his being elected he says;
Il assure you that | AIN emphaflcal-
~ and unqualifiedly opposed to the
granting of licenses in any form-hlgh
or low-for the sale of Intoxicating Ii
ouors to be used as beverage, and II
| were Judge would not grant such
license TO anyone unless the law in ex-
press terms required such licenses to
The present (Brooks) law requires
the court to hear petitions from res
idents of wards, townships and bo-
roughs in favor of and remonstrance
against the application for license,
and in all cases the court shall refuse
the same whenever in the opinion OF
said Court. having due regard to the
number and character of the petition
ers for and against such application,
such license is not necessary for the
accommodation of the public or the
entertainment of strangers and trav-
elers.
How in any view the sale Of intox-
icating liquors as drink can be SAID
to be necessary to accommodate the
public or to entertain strangers and
travellers l totally fail to perceive.
Necessary means Indispensable; that
is. without such drink the public can
not be accommodated nor strangers
and travellers entertained
ITO assume such a position is to
me the height of absurdity.
sInstead of being necessary to &C
commodate the public the use of intox-
icating liquors as drink Is the great
est curse to-day which the public has to
deal with. 1t desolates more homes,
ruins more families, creates more dis
tress, gives to mothers, wives ana
daughters more heartache, and lntiicts
on little children more neglect and
suffering than all the other evils with
which our civilization has to contend.
1t burdens our criminal courts, fills
our prisons, almshouses and insane
asylums, and it enhances the public
burden by increased taxation more
than fifty per cent.
Are these evils, these burdens and
this suffering, the inevitable result OF
the use of intoxicants as a beverage,
necessary to accommodate the public?
| Could not the public be much better
accommodated without them? l am
thoroughly convinced that it could,
and entertaining this conviction, If
were Judge, would grant no licens-
| es at all, in the absence of a law requir-
| ing in express terms that they should
be granted"

A Brutal Husband Thrashed.

William Gilbert, of Middleburg dis
trict, Carroll county, Md, was whip
ped last Saturday by men who had
promised to help him force his young
wife to leave her fathers house, in
which she had taxed refuge from his
cruel treatment.
Some time ago his wife had him ar
Rested and then left him and returned
to her parents. He swore that he
would compel her to return to his
house. Several supposed friends in
whom he confided promised to help
him. The plot was to go to the house
at night and threaten to burn the
place if she did not return with them.
Saturday night the band met, and
three men proposed to go ahead of
the rest and learn if the father-in-law
could be taken by surprise or whether
he was armed for such an invasion.
They went ahead, the husband follow
ing with the rest of the party. While
going through woods three men in
white caps sprang into the road, ac-
cused Gilbert of horse-stealing, and
with a cowhide proceeded to fog him
numerically. He appealed to his
party, who only laughed and held him
while the others applied their whips
He had been led into a trap, from
which he did not escape until he had
received sound thrashing.

FEW COMPARISONS.

Just about a year ago the presi-
dental campaign was in full blast.
The Democratic orators were urging
with all their earnestness a revision
of the ubiquitous tariff, that taxed
the people so heavily and yielded so
little in return. The Republicans, on
the other hand, were actively engaged
in showing how the principles the
Democracy advocated would cause
great business disaster, and that il
the Republicans were once more
placed in power a very tidal wave of
prosperity would sweep over the laud.
The Republicans charged that even
the discussion of the Mills bill was Diet
rimental to business, and they prom
ised that if the subject of tariff reform
were given quietus the country's
prosperity would at once become no
ticeable to all
Well, the principles of the Domoc-
racy were rejected by the people-by
a very small majority-and the cause
of tariff reform was given quietus
for the time The Republicans came
into power, and they have had nearly
all this wear to start their tidal wave
of prosperity.
But have they started it:
We haven't seen ii.
As matter of fact there have been
329 more business failures in the Uni
ted States during President Harri-
sons administration than there were
during the same period last year,
while the liabilities connected with
the failures also increased 16l per
cent. There has been one great fail
ure after another this year, and still
they come.
But the lesson can be brought
nearer home. BY looking at the files
of the REGISTER we find that year
ago to-day the farmers of Jefferson
county got Sl.0S for their wheat
now they get IS cents. a year ago
for corn they got so cents bushel-
today they get 50 cents. Have the
prices of the articles the farmers buy
been lowered in proportion? Does he
get his clothes and shoes and groce-
ries and household goods and hard
ware and machinery any cheaper?
Does he get any benefit from a Re-
publican administration that offsets
the loss of 30 cents bushel on wheat
and ~ cents on corn? Does the broad
shield of American law as admins
tered by the grand old Republican
party"-in General COTS language
repay him for his losses on his wheat
and corn?
We think not.
The American people have been
fooled often and badly, but we think
the worst fooling they ever got was
when they relied on Republicanprom-
Uses of prosperity last fall

His Poverty Was No Barrier.

Wedding bells rang merrily last
Monday for Bessie, the daughter OF
Samuel Ainsworth, the millionaire
manufacturer of Boston, and Charles
S. Dusenberry, a reporter and artist
for the Tide, a weekly publication at
Bath Beach, l.. l., who has been max
ing a salary of 50 a week. He is
twenty-five years of age, while his
bride elect is just nineteen.
The young couple met at Avon
Beach Hotel last summer, and 1t was
a case of love at first sight on both
sides. They were constantly In
each others society, but when the
summer was over and Bessie resumed
her studies at Miss Van Normann's
Select School, in New York, all the
young lady's schoolmates noted that
she had lost her former cheerful spirit.
Miss Van Norinann the other day
sent for Mr.. Ainsworth to come and
visit his daughter TO ascertain II pos
sible what was the matter with her.
After good deal of persuasion Bessie
confessed to him that she and Mr..
Dusenberry were in love. but that
the letter, owing 70 his poverty, was
afraid TO ask her to marry him be-
cause he would be accused of fortune
hunting.
Mr.. Ainsworth looked Dusenberry
up, and learning that he was an alto
gether worthy young fellow, although
poor as church mouse, he told him
that he had not the slightest obJec-
ton to him as son-in-law and freely
granted his consent to their marriage.
He has given them handsome house.
Miss Ainsworth has $3.50, 900 in her
own right, and will inherit twice as
much more from her father, who is a
widower and she an only child.

A Whole Family Burned to Death.

At Davis's Switch, small village
near Bradford. Pa, the other evening.
the dwelling Of Patrick Daily was
burned and his wife and three sons,
aged thirteen, eleven and nine, respect
lively, were roasted in the flames. AT
six O'Clock while the Daily family
were at supper, the father stepped to
the cook stove to turn off part of the
gas. He Internationally shut the
throttle tight, and onreversing it again
the house was filed with gas, and an
explosion followed, and in an instant
the entire house in was flames.
The three boys and the mother
fell PROSTATE on the floor, overcome
by heat and flames. Mr.. Daily rushed
out of the house TO call for assistance,
but all efforts TO save the unfortunate
inmates were futile. The house was
entirely consumed in a few minutes.
The charred and blackened bodies
presented a most sickening sight.
Mr.. Daily was very badly burned
about the head and face, and is al
most craZed with grief.
