CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 21.-An i'm
portant case, involving the effectiveness
of the Wyoming statutes in relation
to the validity of mortga ges, was de-
cided in the United States court here
today. The case was that of Ridgley &
Tracey, of Springfield, Ills, VS.. the
First National Bank of Cheyenne. The
plaintiffs held mortgage of 100000
against the Cattle company Of Mont
gomery, Swan e Co. The First Ma
tional Bank also had a claim of $4,000
against the cattle company. Learning
that one of the partners in the firm of
Montgomery, Swan & Co., had not
signed the mortgage to Tracey & Ridg-
ley. the bank collected its claim by
attaching the proceeds of a, sale of
part of the cattle, claiming that under
the Wyoming statutes which provide
that a chattel mortgage must be signed
by every member Of the firm making
it, the mortgage to Ridgiey & Tracey
was invalid The decision was in favor
of the bank and sustains the Wyoming
statutes.

HARD AT WORK.
REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLICANS
BADLY AGITATED.
Throughout All the Trouble, the
Paramount Query Seems to Be
"Where are We At:"

WASHINGTON, July 21.-As one result
of one conference between Chairman Bah
cock, of the congressional committee, and
Mr.. Mark Hanna and Major Mckinley last
week. the scope of the work of the con-
greSSiOna1 committee is to be greatly
widened during the coming campaign.
The Republican congressional committee
from this time on will perform more work
and in different fields than has ever de-
voiVed upon any previous congressional
committee. Mr.. Babcock'S organizat ton
win take charge of the literary feature of
the campaign entirely. The committee in
addition to supplying the various con-
gressional district committees throughout
the country with speeches and documents
will also furnish the state central COM
mitteeS in every state with campaign
material. In the last campaign, the con-
greSsional committee confined it's laborS to
about 100 congressional districts but in
this campaign it will widen its field of
opera IONS TO take in every place in the
United States where there is a chance for
a contest.
The number of campaign documents
that will be sent out between now and
mittee will reach in the millions. From
one state alone an order has been re-
ceiyed for 900 of those documents and
there are a number of orders for 10000
and 100000. The majority of these docu-
ments will bear upon the financial ques-
ton.
The congressional committee will get
out the campaign book this year and is
now at work on it. The Democratic con-
gressional committee has been a little
slower in beginning work than the Re
publican committee.

A Wondering World Informed of the
Movements of Mckinley.

CLEVELAND, o.. July 21.-Major Nc
Kinley decided that he would not attend
the exercises of the centennial celebration
this morning and remained quietly at
Windermere, the suburban home of Mr.
M. A. Hanna. In answer to the question
how long he would remain in Cleveland,
Major Mckinley said: It'll Friday or
Saturday excepting a few hours at ALI
ance early Thursday l go to Alliance

expecting to make is that of Founders

Continuing Major Mckinley said he
greatly appreciated the quiet rest he was
obtaining at Windermere. The numerous
callers and his large mail at Canton had
occupied his attention almost continuous
ly since his nomination.

NEW WOMEN OVER THE OLD.

Twelfth street near Roby The dis
advantage under which the original
mother laibors when she is prone to lay
hands on her mischievous youngster
was entirely overcome by reason of the
drop frame bicycle.
The frsc Inclination of an unusual
and lively comedy came in the voice of
a female calling over a neighboring
wood pile. The boy paid no attention
to the maternal warning until his
mother appeared on the sidewalk with
a generous section of a drunk strap in
her hand and fire in her eye. Then

grasped his coat tails and Jack was
being led home in triumph.
