The city boys had counted for
several moons past on celebrating
Halloween as tradition says itmust
be celebrated, and visions of the
city of flowing wells turned bottom
up rose paramount. City Marshal
Baymiller had as decided view on
the negative side of the question,
and Saturday night carried club
of extra proportions, and had as
aides half dozen special deputies.
AS the weird midnight hour ap-
preached the atmosphere seemed
filled with wraiths, hobgoblins, etc,
for signs would change positions
and various other articles would
disappear regardless of the Wig
lance of the marshal and his val
iant deputies, But at last the un-
earthly gang was run to ground. 1t
was using it's best, Cor it's worst, as
the marshal thought). to haul
threshing machine from shed in
which it was housed to a better
position on Main street, but hob
goblin strength proved wanting.
The marshal commanded in voice
the same as though he were COM
manding hosts from this mundane
sphere, Boys, you will have to stop
that, or | will be obliged to arrest
you" The threat, with others of
like nature, was repeated time and
again, but the only effect seemed to
be to make the workers work the
harder But the threshing ma
chine refused to bulge, and the
threats Of the officers seemed too
monotonous, and a deep sepulchral
voice, that reminded one someway
of certain young man about town
responded, "well HI, Bay, who's
doing this job anyway? If you've
got nothing else to do lend hand
and help get this machine out of
here, or else hold my coat for me"
Deponent has not said whether the
marshal lent hand or held a coat,
but sure it is that no arrests were
made. Moral--Mortal officers of
the law will waste their strength if
they attempt to cope with Hollow
cen visitors from another sphere.
The Columbian society of the

THE FORTNIGHTLY CLUB.

The Fortnightly Club and a
number of it's invited guests were
entertained in an open meeting Fri
day evening, Oct. %, by Mrs. Chas.
A. Barry and Miss Annie Howard,
in the parlors of the ladies dormi-
tory.
The Club is devoting the first
three months of the year to the
study of Emerson, and the NOM
bers responded to roll call with a
quotation from that author. A
short musical program was rem
dered, but the feature of the ever
ing was the lecture upon Emerson, S
poem, THE Sphinx" by Pres. E..
A. Bryan, of the agricultural college.
His remarks gave very clear in
sight into the meaning of the poem,
and the club esteemed it a rare
privilege to receive assistance from
q so able interpreter of the great
seer.
At the conclusion of the program
dainty refreshments were served:
The next regular meeting will be at
the home of Mrs. Fulmer, Nov. 1,
at 2:30 o'clock.

had sustained several ugly cuts about
the body. She was brought into town
by Mrs. House. who walked the entire
distance, nearly three miles. carrying
her suffering child all the way. Medi-

SUCCESSFUL RAILROADING.


The Cheyenne and Northern railroad
branch OF the Union Pacific, Denver
and Gulf system has hauled during the
past two months from Cheyenne to
Grin Junction 1900 cars of southern
cattle, says the Tribune. The great
bulk Of these were hauled within 80
days. There was no serious delay ex-
cept one train delayed by a washout

head Of cattle, not a man was injured
and the loss Of cattle in transit was the
lightest ever known. The damage to
cars and engine, except ordinary wear
and tear, did not exceed $3.50. The av-
erage running time Of the stock trains
between Cheyenne and Grin Junction
has been less than nine and one-half
hours. The railroad company expects
to handle about 200 more cars Of south
ern cattle this month, wh ich will close
the season. The management Of the

JAPAN'S CALAMITY.
Thirty Thousand People Drowned in
the Terrible Tidal Wave.

Washington, July 21.-The secretary
of state has received a report from the
United States minister to Toxic in re-
gard to the recent tidal rave in Japan.
"a horrible disaster has befallen ia
pam he says. causing the death of
10000 Of her people and leaving twice
that number homeless and starving. On
the evening Of June Is. the northeast
em literal of the Island Of Pondo, for
a distance Of nearly 200 miles, was SUBJ
merged by a tremendous tidal wave 80
feet in height. which in sweeping ire
sistibly upon the coast only spent lite
energy after a rush of miles into the
interior. and retired leaving a desolate
waste Of sand and debris where had
stood SO many homes and thriving viii
lagos.
The first meagre reports from the
scene OF the catastrophe gave little idea
of its magnitude, but each succeeding
budget Of news arriving from the north
has added to the appalling character Of
the disaster until at the time of writing
(June 25) 1t is estimated that the NOR
talities will number more than 80, 900.
Il am pleased that so far as I can
learn no Americans have suffered, eth
er in person or property. Japan has
sought no foreign aid, but seems able
to provide for all its destitute. The i'm
perial family has headed the subscrip-
ton with $4,000 yen and donations from
several sources are swelling the relief
fund"

Gladness Comes

vHIitn q better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentlc efforts-plcasant Efforts
rightly di, ected. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system which the pleasant
family laxativ, u of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted v7..h any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of n laxative,
one should have Che best, and with the
well-informed .vcrywherc, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
