Good Old DAYS.
Charley Clay, the treasurer OF Con.
verse county, is in town, and his pres
ence recalls a food story. Back ten or
twelve years Charley and his brother had
ranch on Uhug creek. Charley was the
swell member of the firm and lived in
town. He instituted farming in an ex-
perimental way, and the punchers at
times reveled in the luxury of native po-
tatos costing about a dollar apiece. To
perfect small but very excellent irri-
eating works Charley caused to be built
across the creek a dam far and away
ahead of anything of the sort in that
country. He was proud of the structure
and when new of a %cloudburst on
the Chug came in his first inquiry was
about this dam. FreiRhters had cut
down enough telegraph poles to destroy
the effectiveness OF the line, and the tele-
phone refused to tell. IN this dilemma
Charley sent a messenger out to learn
how it was with the dam. Tho rider was
given a good horse and instructed to
make a quick trip. He reached the
ranch, forty miles north. at noon, and de
livered his message.
The range Clay was a rather peculiar
genius and is still as delightfully."- odd.
Said he: You take some dinuer and
I'll give you a fresh horse; theu go back
and tell Charley his dam is all right, but
the creek is gone" He was dealing in
facts, for the flood had changed the
course of the little stream SO it flowed
around the barrier in which Charley was
so much interested.

Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself,
When what he says is supported by 9TH
ers no reasonable man will doubt his
word. Now, to say that Ailcock's porous
plasters are the only genuine and reliable
porous plasters made is not self praise in
the slightest degree. They have stood
the test for over thirty years. and in
proof of their merits it is only neces-
sary to call attention to the cures
they have effected and to the voluntary
testimonials Of those who have used
them.

lion. Wluiam w. Corlett, leader OF the
state bar and for years Wyoming's fore
most citizen, died at his residence, No. l.,
Maple Terrace. Eighteenth street, at I:5O
yesterday afternoon. with wife and son
and several immediate friends at his bed
side.
The serious illness of the idolized Cor
lett commenced nine weeks ago, and
hundreds have daily inquired as to his
condition. Nervous exhaustion brought
on by overwork vas the fatal ailment.
Several times during the last sickness he
was reported dying. but rallied as often
sufficiently to warrant hope for his recov-
cry, until yesterday forenoon when it be-
came painfully evident that the end was
near. He sank gently and vas
conscious till dissolution. About noon
ne called Tor ate and after drinking
asked to be lifted up and rested in a sit
ting posture for some time. For the last
hour he lay dormant; breathing was regu-
lar and without labor, but the only other
evidence OF life was in his wonderfully ex-
pressive eyes, gazing with love into the
faces of weeping dear ones. Five minu-
ties before death respiration was nalural.
There was no distressing struggle, not a
gasp. The final breath was a full one
The sad news reached all portions of the
city in a few minutes aud evoked a univer-
sal expression of sincere regret. No Wyo-
ming man was more admired THAI Mr..
Corlett and his death is an irreparable
loss to the whole people. In the most
isolated hooks OF the state heads will bow
with poignant grief.
Mr.. Corlett. who was a man of un-
ceasing energy and continuous applica-
ton, has been in poor health nearly ten
years. His professional duties we're ar
duous and he was a wouderous worker.
For a long term a sturdy physique and
the tenacious industry OF ambition ena-
bled him to keep up, but for two years
he has been under treatment OF local
physicians and eastern specialists. Thir;
teen months ago he returned from a stay

New York Citizens Indignant at the Action
of Virginian.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE flying of a
Confederate flag from the staff upon the
house of DR.. d. J. Beattie, near Succa-
sunna has called forth indignant protests
from prominent Republicans aud Demo-
Gratis alike in this neighborh0od. The
owner of the place is Virginian who
came to reside here few months ago. DR..
Beattie visited Richmond at the unveiling
of the Lee monument, and his daughters
anticipated his return by making 4 flag.
The emblem was displayed for short
period. but was subsequently, taken down.
On the Fourth of July the flag was again
raised and has since remained up. Several
indignant people of the neighborhood have
requested the officers of Company G to
cause the flag to be hauled down. The
matter was referred to Colonel Campbell of
the First Regiment. who has sent a reply
saying that nothing can be done except by
the direction of the Governor. DR.. Beattie
says that the flag was not raised with the
intention of affronting the people. He has
received threatening letters bearing upon
the matter, and does not propose to be
coerced or frightened so long as he violates
no laws.

of the lake along the scene of the disaster
No bodies were found up to dark, when the
search was abandoned for the day. Dyna-
mite will be used in the morning.
There were good many who made use
of life-preservers, but none had as good
service out of them as had Robert Adams,
the seventeen-year-Old son of Dr. Adams of
Lake City, ana his companion. They Sc
cured three e-preservers, and were in the
water for six hours before being rescued.
Young Adams could swim, but his CON-
panion could not They had the good sense
to float quietly along and not attempt TO
fight against the waves
SAVED FROM DEATH.
During six hours they were buffeted by
the blllows and blown hither and yon by
the gale. They drifted about mile down
past the town and then a change in the
wind carried them up the river to Fronteac,
seven miles from here, where they were
rescued by DR.. Kain and party, and to-day
are nearly as we'll as ever.
THE CAPTAINS STATEMENT.
Captain Withern, proprietor and CON-
mander of the Sea Wing, has been severely
blamed by citizens and others for what they
allege TO have been criminal negligence on
his part in pulling out into the lake with
such a crowd when the sky looked so threat
enng. The captains wife and two Of his
three children lost their lives under the
waves. and that fact, together with the loss
of his vessel and the great loss oil lie, has
so unnerved him that he has kept pretty
much out of sight during the day. Those
who saw him Got but imperfect statements
from him.
The first is that he did not consider the
danger very great, and thought he saw
break in the clouds promising a clearing
away of the storm. This is not we'll taken
by the people in this neighborhood. who
say the sky was black with the most threat
ening kind of clouds, and that it was clearly
evident very Heavy storm was about to
break.
HIS OTHER EXCUSE,
II such it may be called, is that the
manager of the excursion, whose profits
would be cut down by any delay in the de-
parture of the boat, was so urgent in his in
sistance upon her immediate departure
that the captain yielded and took the boat
out to her destruction.
Many incidents of that awful night are
beng related. James Webb of Red Wing
and young lady companion had just jok-
iDgly finished fastening life-preserver on
each other when the storm struck the YES
sci, and their jokes proved their salvation,
for both were saved. Cannonading which
went on during the morning did not bring
any bodies to the surface and was aban-
dOued during the afternoon.
