A PROPOSITION is before Congress

A PROPOSITION is before Congress
providing for the publication of the
pension list. The idea is to cOllate all
pensioners with the amount they re-
ceive and the character of the disa-
bilities they suffer, so arranged as to
enable anyone to see at a glance who
are receiving such aid in every state.
county, city and borough in the coun-
try. The proposition if carried into
effect will undoubtedly result in reve-
lations that will be startling to every
part of the country. There appears to
be prevailing impression that many
persons are now receiving pensions who
are not Justly entitled to the same,
while there are others who are entitled,
who for some reason unexplainable are
deprived of the governments bounty.
A publication of the list will show who
the former parties are. No person
who is Justly entitled to a pension need
object to the publication, as the uni
versal sentiment among the people is,
that all veterans who have lost their
limbs, met with casualties or lost their
health while in service during the late
war, should be cared for by the gov
eminent 1t is only the frauds who
should object to the publication of the
list.

SEVERAL ministers at De Soto recent

Sam. Byrns, asking him to vote no
more money to the Worlds Fair, save
on the condition that its doors be clos

CHEESEMAN'S reply:

yon. VIM. Fossch. l.. +. Aspley, Chas.
+. Collins, A. ClaXon. ID. w. Crow, e..

Rererend Sirs-Your letter of March
18th received, requesting me to vote
no more money to the Worlds Fair at
Chicago save only on the condition that
its gates be closed on Sunday" On
this question there shall be no contrO-
versy between us. | have never voted
one dollar and / can safely say never
will to that show; certainly | will not
unless it is in the line of plain duty to
take care of the governments exhibit.
This proposition to put the government
into partnership on the expense of
$1,000, 900 of the peoples money Is
simply ridiculous and absurd and will
never consent to it. Of course, aside
from the above objection, l am very
much in favor of maintaining the Sab
bath. Very respectfully,
SAM. BYRNs.

IL commenting on the fact that State
Senator F. r. Newberry wants to be
the delegate to the National Democratic
Convention from this Congressional
District. the Pennington Times says
1.-THE Senator would make a good dele
gate and fair representative OF the
Democratic sentiment of this district. "
Well, if Newberry wouldn't follow the
will of his constituents any more close
in a convention than he did at the last
session of the Legislature he would be
poor delegate. The Senator will not
by any means secure hearty support
in the old Twenty-FOurth Senatorial
District, where he is best known.

BUFFALO, Wyo., April 1.-THE stock
mems war has taken another turn, and
legal authorities will now attempt to set
tie the troubles. Colonel Van Horne's
command, consisting of three troops Of
cavalry, received orders at midnight to
march to the scene of battle at once.
About a. IN. the sound of forward
march" rang out clear on the morning air,
bad the bluecoated troopers start d out of
the fort and galloped toward the at. ~"
ranch. The distance was cover d by day
light and the commanding officer and
Sheriff Angus held consultation. The
sheriff reported that he had ordered the
men to SURF nder, but they had refused
and opene fire on his men.
Was Preparing to Throw Dynamite.
AT 2 O'Clock yesterday morning a courier
rode into town and announced that Sheriff
Angus was preparing to throw dynamite
into the stockade of the invaders. A few
moments before orders had been received
from Washington by the military authori-
ties to proceed at once to the scene of the
trouble. The cavalry crossed the country
as rapidly a. possible. The sight of the
troops dampened the ardor of the party.
The troops did not arrive any too soon, for
Angus was preparing for an onslaught,
the result of which would have been terri
BILE, and would have swelled the list of
killed TO fifty or a hundred men.
The Stpckmen Surrender.
Colonel Van Horne found that the
rustlers, small stockmen and the sheriff's
posse had completely surrounded the
ranch and cut off all means OF escape, so
that the stockne ems forces were entrapped
However, the military had no trouble in
inducing the stockmen TO surrender The
only provision that was exacted was that
they should be taken to Fort Mckinney
and not be allowed to fall into the hands
OF Angus or his men or the rustlers To
this Colonel Van Horne consented, and I'M
der the protection of the cavalry the stock
mems forces, consisting of sixty-five men,
quickly saddled and bridled their horses
and rode to Fort Mckinney, where they
are now confined.
Sheriffs Posse Dispersed.
The sheriff's posse and the forces of the
rustlrrs and small ranchers rode ahead to
Buffalo or dispersed to their various
farms. Just what the next move will be
cannot be said. The stockmen will be pro-
tected by the United States troops until
Colonel Van Horne receives further orders
from the commandment at Omaha. The
men will undoubtedly be turned over to
the state authorities to answer for the
killing of Ray and Champion

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
IN the results -you Ill ind a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And Favorite

him that if he had taken the $4,000 he
borrowed from Attorney Lemon and put
It in the mining company, instead of the

Witness continued his testimony in
effect that J. Bradley Tanner was in the
public service at the time, and that
although Commissioner Raum had tes-
titled before the committee that Tanner
and Fleming had no interest in the com
pany ii WAS erroneous; and further, that
Raum had the books of the company and
he (witness) could not gain access to them,
and that the commissioner will not issue
his stock to him. The company was in a
very shaky condition and foreclosure
would be made on the 18th inst. B. NJ.

James Morgan, OF Bloomington, Ind, .
lawyer and pension attorney, testified that
he never directly or indirectly paid Cooper
any money for information regarding PEN
sion cases, except the s25 sent through
Cooper in January last for Jersey, for
work the latter had done. The witness
testified that when Cooper introduced him
to Hersey in the latter's Office in this city,
Cooper did say that if he (witness) had
anything worth paying for Hcrsey would
do it for him. This is contradiction Of
Cooper in his explanation to the commit
tee. In this connection, however, the wit
ness said that the remark was made only
rs a recommendation Of Hersey rs u law

In the course OF questioning the fact was
brought out that the letter containing the
