Use Common Sense.

That people should use the same prac-
teal common sense in advertising that
is necessary to transact any other bust
ness would seem to be an indisputable
proposition. Yet there are gentlemen
who are extremely good business men
in all other respects who will make
grievous errors in this direction. Knox

Regular Publications Best.

No one takes up regular publication
without the expectation of finding some
thing of interest. The simple act Of
turning the pages is as positive an ex-
ample of expectation as is the opening
of a closet if one is in search of a coat.
Hence an announcement in a regular
publication has an advantage over any
other form of business solicitation-that

GOLD HILL NOTES.

Special Correspondence.
GcLD HILL, March l5.-This is the
third day hat the sun has shone all day
for more than a mouth, and the way work
is now going on shows how this fine
weather is appreciated.

his large stable and if the weather con-
tnues fine will soon have it finished.
Where the stable is being built there is
about ten feet of snow.
Wilbur q. Knight of the Keystone
mine says that he is very well pleased
with the camp, and is now sure that this
will be a permanent camp.
There has been guile a number OF cases
of la grippe" in camp during the past
week. f. o. Sawin left for home yester-
day, thinking that he would recover from
his sickness faster at Saratoga than here.
Two outfits from Carbon have arrived
add have commenced building. One man
will build a boarding house, and has let
the carpenter work to John Burman.
This building will be frame building.
The Blue Bell now shows five feet of
solid quartz between its walls. The con
tract tor. fifty feet in the Acme will be
finished by the middle of the week. The
vein now looks better than ever, and there

DO We See Ghostsl

The question OF ghosts was dircussed at
the Cheyenne debating club last evening
at great length, the speakers being Judge
Carroll, Ed. Towse, Gen. Thompson and
Clarence Richardson. The affirmative
cited numerous historical and and Biblical
inst lnces to prove that spirits visit the
earth and communicate with mortals.
The negative were positive that no liv-
ing mortal could assert with positiveness
that he had seen a spirit or. communicated
with one, and that all other evidence was
hearsay and not to be credited. The friv-
olous communications OF so-callei spirits
made through mediums were in their very
i~rivolity strong evidence that they were
not genuine.
The question was decided in favor of the
affirmative.
On next Thursday evening the question
to be debatedis: "ResolUed, That lynch law
is sometimes justifable on organized So
ciety," Gen. Thompson aud Mr.. Par.
menter will speak for the affirmative and
Judge Peck will take the principal part
for the negative.

MOVING FOR MILLER.
Various Petitioners Who Ask a
Communication of Sentence.
Special Pleading by a Lawyer in
His Behalf,
He Alleges That Insanity Was Her.
sditary in the Family.

Governor Barber received a long and
specious petition yesterday from Roches-
ter, N. Y. 1t was gotten up by a
lawyer named Weaver in the interest of
the condemned murderer Miller. MIR.
Weaver alludes to the fact that he had
spoken to both Senator Carey and Sena-
tor Warren regarding the matter. Both
had declined to sign the petition for
reasons which were satisfactory to him.
The writer claimed that the fault to be
found with most of the petitions sent into
the governor in the Miller case was that
they were basel entirely on sentimental!
and humanitarian grounds. He and the
gentlemen who signed the petition with
him had thrown asi lie sentiment in = con-
sideration by the subject and we're in
fluenced alone to circumstance surround
ing the case.
THIS fact is not very apparent from a
perusal of the petition itself which, not
outstanding the statement of the writer
that he has very closely scanned the testi-
mOny and made a personal investigation
OF the early history of Miller. contains
some inaccuracies that are little short of
%glarIng. He has a cool deal to say about
the subtle dividing line between the men
tally responsible and the mentally ire
sponslble az demonstrated in the Miller
case. He writes at some length of Mil
ler's anttcedent5 and intimates pretty
strongly that a streak of insanity was
hereditary IN them. Reference is made
to MIller's father. of his habit OF hard
drinking and subsequent suicide, of the
boy having been left au orphan at a tender
age and OF his being sent TO an asylum.
His checkere1 career after be was
bound out is treated at considerable
length and it must be said that the
facts of the crime are placed in the lest
possible light for Miller. The closing
paragraph OF this part of the petition
draws a dreadful picture of Miiler's suf-
fering from hunger aud cold, aud how he
was alleged to be driven to desperation by
his suffering.
The petitioners close by asking hat the
sentence be com nuted to imprisonment to
life.
This is by far the most interesting, but
by no means the ouly petition received by
the governor. 1t is signed by a score or
more of prominent New York citizens.
The friends of Miller family. but more
particularly those in charge of the orphan
asylum are deluging tine governors office
with appeals for leniency. TIE orphan
asylum authorities are particularly inter
ested Tor the reputation OF the institution.
as no boy ever yet sent out from it has
been hanged. They seem more concerned
about the good name OF their kid cara
vsnsary than they are about the atrocity
Of the crime committed by Miller or the
suffering it has entailed on innocent and
unoffendlng people. They are making a
strong point OF what the people of the
East may possibly think of the hanging
OF a boy who Is now in his 18th year.
Meanwhile Miller is safe enough until
after the supreme court has passed upon
the points of error submitted by his at.
torney.

A SILENT PASSENGER.
Frank Ream Dies on an East Bound
Union Pacific Train.

A young man died on train No. S yes
terday. his body being taken off at Lara
mic. The Republican gives the following
information Of the occurraDce:
1T was the body of Frank Ream, a
young man quite well dressed and having
a small sum Of money on his person and
a gripsack containing his effects. He
also had a note Of introduction from
Chas. Baldwin of the law firm Of Baldwin
& Tatleck. Salt Lake City, to c. f. Lef-
ferts of Council Bluffs. Ia. aud was
jo~urncying from Salt Lake to Omaha on a
second class ticket
1t Is stated that he had been sick Tor a
time in the hospital at Salt Lake and it is
supposed was too weak to stand the trip.
When the train was near Fort Steele he
expired quietly IN his seat in the smoker
so quietly that his body remained in an
upright position and no one knew that
death was IN the car until the conductor
came along. noticed his pallor aud
~endeavored to waken him. Word was
received last evening from a brother Of
the dead man, living at Oscaloosa, Iowa,
directing that the body be buried at
Cheyenne. The funeral will take place
this afternoon from TurnbulIs under
taking establishment.

1t seems probable that L little imagina-
ton is very much better rs a possession
han a great deal. A little is, to the
daily incidents aud events Of life, what
salt is to meat. The relish it bestows
upon them is just as good as a pleasure.
If you are in a sorry plight you can see
help coming ly its aid. though, on the
other hand, You are not tormeuted by
g%rievous relapses of Impotence and de-
spair upon the delay of the arrival Of
such help, as you would surely be if you
were as imaginative as a poet. And in
like manner, when you are in the thick
of prosperity, under its gentle, judicious
suggesting you are able to look ahead,
foresee the inevitable squalls which shall
follow such a spell of fine weather, and
be prepared for them. In fact, Il certain
amount of imagination is like ballast to
q ship, whereas too much acts like a
storm upon the same ship, catching it
with all sails set.--All the Year Round.

STATE OWNERSHIP.
Ii viii be n Winning Fight IN Three

II. 6. Wilson, of the United States
geological survey, was IN town Yesterday
and called at the office of State Engineer
Mead. He has Just returned from Cali
fornia where he spent some time closely
investigating the subject OF irrigation.
lie has visited various parts of the Rocky
Mountain region and is quite familiar
with the conditions presented IN it.
He secured some data shout Wyoming
il the state engineers office. Mr.. Wilson
iavors state ownership of land in the arid
belt. When asked as to the chances of
such a bill passing at the next session OF
ongress he said they we're not very favor
able. The new congress will be composed
OF a great many new men who are not at
all familiar with this subject. Many of
them have been elected on distinct issues
and will devote their time chiefly to ac-
complishing their W purposes, without
very much heed OF the demands of other
district or the merits which may be back
OF them. He believes, however, thai in
the next congress, that is three years
from now the fight for state ownership
OF lands will win.

is THERE A BOND TRUST,
Indications Point TO Combine Among
Bond BnveTs to Keep Down
Pnces-

Some remarks were made at the
council meeting the other after
noon which limited at a bond trust be-
ing formed by the bond brokers TO con
troll the price OF bonds thrown on the
market. There are about fifteen reput-
able houses throughout the United States
engaged III selling securities in large
amounts.
One Of the bidders here, the other day,
let fall the remark that he did not think
the city could sell their bonds for par.
The general opinion Is that the bidders
got together and decided to make the
city pay a commission to them and only
to offer par for the bonds.
Mr.. Hay has been corresponding with
some Eastern houses in regard to their
putting in a bid for the bends. Hester-
day he received a telegram from them
stating that they were not prepared to
bid. He is confident that it is not a
question Of money with them, and can
not understand their actions.
Wyoming bonds have heretofore sold at
a premium of more than s per cent and

teen year bonds which are not as valuable
as the thirty year bouds about to be is
sud. The bond matter is a mystery to
all who understand the former selling of
bonds by the state and county. but we
will probably know more about the matter
after we see the results of the attempt to
sell them at private sale.
