NATURAL SOAP.

Newcastle Democrat: Extending to

miles lies n of the greatest natural

Although its effect may be the same
its component parts r entirely differ

suds in hard water and when used in
washing the hands and face leaves the
skin very smooth and soft. 1t is used
with good success in washing clothing
Of all kinds. A very peculiar feature
of 1t is that It can be entirely dissolved
in clear water and its presence cannot
be detected. but the richest and best
part of 1t is that assays show that 1t is

Even Mercer was caught out in the
blizzard Wednesday night and had
both feet badly frozen, say the Rock
Springs Independent. The young man
left here Tuesday morning and went to
Sand Butte. n good days ride to the
south. after some sheep for w. H.
Gottsche. On Wednesday morning Mr..
Mercer started on the return trip. driv-
all went well until towards evening,
when a severe storm broke, which was
soon developed into a blizzard. The
sheep soon scattered and in his efforts
to hold them the young man was soon
hopelessly lost. Night came on and
the storm increased in fury. The
young man made many futile attempts
to find the road. but in the binding
snow and darkness everything had a
dismal sameness and he wandered
about aimlessly until at the first indi-
cation of gray in the east he came to a
fence. Mr.. Mercer was weak, tired and
chilled through, but he fully realized
his position and determined not to
leave the fence: he followed the fence
for some distance and finally arrived
at the ranch house of Robert Ander-
son, Is miles south of town, where he
was taken in more dead than alive, and
tenderly cared for. Barney McCabe
was then on his way to town and he
brought the young man with him, ar
irving Thursday evening. An exami-
nation showed that both feet were bad
ly frozen. though the attending ply
sicians are of the opinion the members
will be saved intact. 1t was only Mr..
MERGERS extreme cool head that saved
his life. When the fact dawned upon
him that he was lost and in a driving
blizzard his determination was to keep
moving and not become separated from
his horse. 1t was a night Of awful
horror that will not soon take itself
from the young mans memory.

In last evenings Denver Times there

COLLABORATING the proceedings in the
Crocker case Judge Hayford. before
whom Croker was tried. has been re-
ceiving anonymous letters OF a threat
ening character trying to intimidate
him in the decisions in the matters of
change of venue. granting a new trial.
etc. No attention has been paid to the
letters. although the identity OF the
sender is suspected"
Judge Hayford was seen by a Re-
publican representative this afternoon
and said there was some truth and
some fiction in the Times telegram.
During the progress OF the trial he had
received in all perhaps eight or ten an
Onymous letters, and while they did
not contain open threats. there were
covert insinuations which were Of a
malicious character. On the morning
of the last hearing. just after court
opened, a boy came into court and laid
a letter on the judges desk. 1t went
on to say that Crocker had had a fair
trial and that there was no excuse for
a re-hearing of the case. This letter
was turned over to the prosecuting at
torney Of Uinta county. The others
had all been burned soon after their
receipt. The fact was merely men,
toned by the Judge to show the state

PREDICTION FOR ALLISON.
A Man With Political Acumen Says
Mckinley is Not the Man.

Mr.. o. D. Randall of Chicago was in
the city today. Mr.. Randall is q man
who takes considerable interest in po-
litics and by a of the fact that he
travels from one end of the continent
to the other and comes in contact with
people of all shades of political belief,
his opinion is worthy Of more than
passing notice. In speaking Of the
presidential possibilities this morning.
he predicted that William Mckinley
would not be the nominee of the re-
publican party at the st. Louis con
-vention.
students of the political history of
the country" said he, remember that
Seward was the choice Of the people Of
the United States at n time. All Sec
tions were clamoring for his nomina-
ton. which was considered a foregone
conclusion. The night before the NOM
ination was made he was wired that he
would be the choice on the first ballot.
But Seward had In some way incurred
the enmity Of Horace Greeley, and
Greeley was determined to defeat him.
Although the New York delegation was
personally favorable to Seward to a
man, Greeley pulled wires on the night
before the convention which threw the
nomination to another man.
Mckinley is today the choice Of the
people of the nation, but Tom Reed
will have strength enough to prevent
his receiving a majority Of the votes at
st. Louis. and that being the case. Nc
Kinley's supporters will say to Reed,
You defeated our man and now we will
defeat you and their votes will be
thrown to Allison. Mark the predic-
ton. Allison is today the most likely
man in the race"
