Editor LAMAR REGISTER,
Lamar, Colo,
DEAR SIR:-In reply to an inquiry
in last weeks REGISTER, wishing to
know who built the first house in
Lamar. NJ. d. Parmenter built the
first house in Lamar May 9th, 1856,
and within three days had house
full of boarders, who remained until
after the original town of L amar was
surveyed and plated The names
of some of the boarders were E. W.
Fuller, G. G. Ament, A f. Patch, j.
w. Decker, w. /. Craddock and
dozen others. The next house was
built by i. W. Fuller. The third
establishment of any importance was
erected in the middle of Main street
about opposite where the postofice
is now. 1t was the headquarters Of
Bob Sweetman and used for irrigation
only. The next was land Office and
from that time until the present day,
Lamar has been improving. Now
let the people of Lamar and Prowers
county be united; work together.
Offer some man good inducements to
put in lumber yard at Lamar, SO
that you will not be obliged to pay
from so to sos per thousand for
knot holes. Offer some railroad com
pany some Inducements to build a
road to and from Lamar, SO that you
can buy car load of coal at the
mines for 81 per ton, and not be
obliged to pay So per ton freight on
the same. Ii you all work together
you will succeed If you don't work
together you will be in the soup
with me.
Fraternally yours,
NJ. D PARMENTER.'

The Wire Stretcher.

A wire stretcher is apparently a
very simple and inoffensive machine.
To see it hanging up in a hardware
store, or even lying across fence,
where it has been thrown by some
exasperated victim, it does not look
at all dangerous. But it is. In the
first place, it's as complicated as
watch, and can be as perverse as an
army mule Good staid sober citizens
that we knew right here in Colorado,
became prematurely old and scratched
themselves bald headed trying to cir
cumvent the awful contrariness of the
the wire stretcher, and finally gave
it up in despair, and went back
broken hearted to New England
where fences are made of stones.
There is no doubt but that it is
having baleful influence upon the
farming interests of the state, and is
depopulating the rural districts. It's
nuisance, that should be abated.
It's provocative of more profanity
and calls for camphor and rags,
than all the other implements about
the farm, the family hammer that's
loose at the handle not excepted. It's
deadly enough in the hands of an
expert, but when green man tries to
use one on barbed wire, it's simply
horrible.
No firm should be permitted to sell
wire stretcher unless they send an
experienced man along to operate it,
just as they do with other compli-
Gated and dangerous machinery.
We get these facts partly from our
own experience, and partly from the
testimony of B. b. Brown, who was
trying to use one on the north side
this week.

WuITELAw REID is the second candi-

never find in the sports of folks that

And In Major Towne's Side Found Guam
tity of Stony Substance.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Surgeons E. W.
Andrews and G. w. Crazy. of the Medi-
cal Board of Pension Examiners, have
performed remarkable surgical opera
ton on Maj. o. c. Towne, the veteran,
who has been under their charge for
some time. Major Towne resides at
Argyle Park. and has been confined to
his bed for nearly year from growing
abcess in his right lung. Two months
ago the lung was opened and the abcess
cut and drained. Major Towne began
to recover, but recently his condition
became worse.
Last Sunday the surgeons determined
on another operation, and removed the
fourth, fifth sixth and seventh ribs.
This opening was large enough to ad.
NIT DIR. Andrews two hands. In this
cavity the surgeons found a great guam
tity Of stony substance, some of the pieces
being as large as marbles and as hard as
stone, while that which was in the bot
tom Of the cavity was as fine as sand.
The walls OF the cavity were also GOV.
cred with the stony substance. Every
particle of the stone was removed and
the wound covered and dressed.
Twenty.four hours after Major Towne
had improved wonderfully, and he now
feels very much better and there is
every prospect of his recovery.

HOPE FOR COL. H. CLAY KING.
His Friends Petition the Governor and
Washington Authorities.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July ga new
hope has been born in the breast of Col.
Ell. Clay King, condemned to be hanged
on August IL for killing David III. Pos
ton. For several days he has been in a
state of mental and physical collapse,
but yesterday he frightened from some
cause, known only to himself. The
strong petition sent from kentucky to
the governor asking that his sentence
be COMMITTED is thought to have begot.
ten the hope in Col. Kings mind for
better things. This morning Judge
Greer returned from Washington city.
Several days ago he and Judge King, of
Texas, went to Washington to make an
effort to bring the case under Federal
jurisdiction and secure review of the
law and facts before the Supreme Court.
The lawyer refused to discuss the
matter, but it is thought from remarks
that he dropped that there will be some
action taken in the case by the Federal
court.

THE HOMESTEAD STRIKE.

The strikers at Homestead did not
evince very great desire yesterday to
return to work and but few of them &C
cepted the companys invitation to come
back as individuals.
Manager Frick has plenty of other
men, however, and the mills are now
working. But how long will this last ?
The strikers are becoming desperate
and change in their condition is i'm
perative.
OF course as long as the militia stays
at Homestead the non-union men now
employed in the mills are sure Of pro.
lection. But when this force is with
drawn will they be left in peace? The
belief is that they will not and that
more trouble will eLsue.
This is q very grave condition of af.
fairs 1t will be impossible to keep the
soldiers at Homestead for any length of
time as the expense is very heavy.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars day
are heightened into weeks and the
weeks into months.
The mill people absolutely refuse to
compromise matters or recognize the
Amalgamated Association This thew
undoubtedly have perfect right to do.
But if by their refusal it will he neces-
sary to always keep a detachment OF
soldiers at Homestead to keep down tho
strikers the question assumes new
phases. They cannot expect the Gov
eminent to protect them forever by this
large force of arms, and they ought to
be willing to do all in their power to
settle the matter.
A ma oritY of the striking men have
homes and families in Homestead
There is nothing else there for them to
do and they will not be driven away
from home. 1t is very grave condi-
ton Of affairs and every effort should be
made to bring about change at once.
This should be particularly desired
by tho Republican managers. This
trouble will cost them thousands Of
votes, and unless it is soon settled
may ALLEVIATE the workingman's vote
almost entirely. Here is an excellent
place for Chairman Carter to begin
work.
