A MAN.
He Believes That Much IIog-Wash Has
Been Written.

To he Editor OF The Republican.
Laramie. Wyo., Oct. 81, lS97.-As ons
of the young men of Laramie and as a
me-, r of the Tilicun club | protest
against this USELESS and nonsensicaI dis.
cussion of the matrimonial question as
it is being carried oain The papers ana
in every other place. | feel as if grave
injustice is being lone to all parties
concerned by some of the articles that
have appeared recently. One article
says that the young men of his city
never call upon girls who do not serve
a free lunch to every caller. This state
ment may be true as to three or four
gentlemen, but it is not true as to the
majority of our young men. Another
article says every young man in Lara
ME has proposed to every girl he
the first. No such a condition of afrairs
ever happened. The only gentlemen l
know of who proposed we're accepted.
Another article say that the gentle-
inen here go to so many parties and
go with so many girls that they get
tired of the girls and don't want to
marry any of them. Whoever heard
such nonsense? Such rank stuff as
that does more harm than good. 1t
will hurt the town because families who
have girls will not come here after
reading that stuff, and the girls that are
here Will move away. Such stuff as
that makes everybody think that the
young men here are all hogs and fools
and we don't like 1t. All the people
talk as If they thought there was some.
thing in the odd Mans" article. but
that article is the worst rot OF them all.
It was a malicious stab at our society
made by somebody who is envious of
our good times. And those articles
signed University Girl" were all writ.
ten by some girl who wanted to annoy
and ~aggravate the other girls and their
parents and teachers. We know this
because no girl would have gall enough
to say such things as were in those
articles if she actually believed VIVA,
she said.
All the boys are tired of this hog,
wash. AS said before, it hurts the
town because some people believe IT
and those who don't believe 1t at frs,
talk 1t so much that they get to be,
lieve 1t afterwhile. Things have got tc
such a pass that we hear nothing but
free lunch" and marriage everywhere
Sensible talk has been driven out of the
field. We young men have decided tina,
1t Is about time to raise a HI of a roar

A BETTER SITUATION.

MORE ENCOURAGING THAN
FOR SOME DAYS PAST.

Daily Number of Cases Will Di-
minish-Reports From New Or
leans Are of a Very Encouraging
Nature.

Washington. Oct. 3l.-Today's yell
low fever reports to Surgeon General
Wyman show that the situation is bet
ter and the outlook encouraging

that from now on as frost gradually

districts the daily number of cases will
diminish in number. Today's reports
include the following:
Montgomery. Ala. 6 new cases; no
deaths; four recoveries.
Mobile, Ala. II new cases; no
deathsfi four ~recoveries.
Biloxi, Miss, 3 new cases.
Clinton, Miss. Z new cases.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
The Republicans Claim Gen. Trac,
Will be Elected.

New York, Oct. 31.-The republican
committee confidently anticipates the
election of Gen. Tracy and each Of the
borough tickets. 1t believes. according
to a statement issued today. that the
vote for Henry George in the borougha
of Manhattan and the Bronx will con.
siderably exceed the vote Of the citi-
xen's union. 1t Is absolutely confident
that Seth Low will not carry a single
assembly district in the present city
of New York, and the only one where
is really n contest between Tracy
and Low il the Twenty-ninth district,
which Tracy will, they say. carry over
Low by a full thousand votes.
The majority by which Gov. Black
defeated Porter last year will be just
about the majority by which Tracy will
defat Van Wyck. In the borough Of
brooklyn, Tracy will beat Low two to
one. The statement concludes:
we expect to poll 1900 votes for
Tracy in New York and the Bronx. TO-
900 in Brooklyn. 10000 in Queens and
{. 1000 In Richmond, and VI expect that
vote to carry with It . plurality ON

T FOOTBALL A

Atlanta. Ca, Oct. 31.-von Cannon.
one Of the players on the university of
Georgia football team. died this morn
ing from injuries received in a game
between that team and the team from
the University of Virginia in this city
yesterday afternoon. Cannon never
regained consciousness after having
been hurt. He was one OF the star
players OF the team. His death has
stirred prejudice against the game
among the members Of the state Leg
islature. which is now in session, and
1t is probable that a bill will be passed
In a few days making it a misdemean-
or to engage in a game OF football in
this state.
The faculty Of the university has de-,
cided to prohibit the game in the fu.

THE FAMILY INSANE.
MRS. LUETGERT'S BROTHER SAID
TO BE IN THE VICINITY OF
PrEBLO. COLO.
A Poor lmecile Who Has Been in the
Insane Asylum of the Centennial
State-A Pueblo Attorney Says He
Can Produce Him for Il Proper
' Consideration Of Course.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-A new sensation
has developed in the Luetgert case.
Attorney Albert Phalen has received
the information that Mrs. Louise Luet.
gerts missing brother is now living
in the vicinity of Pueblo, Colorado. and
could be produced here in Chicago at
the second trial Of Luetgert. This
missing brother of Mrs. Luetgert and
of Dietrich 8;cknese, disappeared q
years ago and has never been heard
Of since.
Through all those years he appears
to have been wandering in a partially
demented condition around among the
ranches in the neighborhood of Pueb-
10. doing chores and odd jobs at light
work for a living and having been
confined at least once in the Colorado
state asylum for the insane.
The importance of this discovery
cannot be overestimated. 1t may be
got before the jury and pointed to as
powerful aids to the contention of tho
defense, that Mrs. Luetgert has follows
ed in the footsteps OF her brother and
is either wandering at large in a de.
mented condition or has long since
been committed to an insane asylum
at some distant point. where her name
and history may never become known.
The letter conveying the information
10 frny, m nttrrpp, -f DAHL, Il
was formerly associated with Mr.. Pha,
len in the practice Of law in this city.
The good news came as a great sur.
prise to Mr.. Phalen. who had not heard
from his old friend, Attorney Joseph
Dye, for more than 16 years. In his
letter to Attorney Phalen, Mr.. Dye
says:
A ROAMING PARTIAL LUNATIC.
Lately l have seen by the papers
that you have been assisting in the
defense Of L%uetgert. the sausagemak-
err. Now l am of the opinion that |
know his wife's brother well-that is.
the brother that has been missing so
long. He used to be II client of mine,
and | know where he is at the pres,
ent time. For years past he has beer
partially insane and addicted to roam,
ing from one place to another, and
when | was the acting prosecuting at
tOrney of this judicial district | caus,
ed him to be committed for insanity
in the asylum Of this state. But as he
is not of Il violent character he has
been permitted to leave the institution
from time to time and go at his will.
During these intervals he has obtain
ed employment on some of the ranches
and small garden farms about this city
at some light work, such as doing
chores and pulling weeds. etc. If this
evidence will do you any good in your
next trial l will furnish it for you up
on any reasonable basis and upon short
notice."
After reading this letter Mr.. Phalen
went owe to the Jail to inform the sau-
sage maker as to the discovery. Luet-
CERT was pleased. The upshot was that
Mr.. Phalen vas instructed to telegraph
instruction to Mr.. Dye to bring Henry
Bicknese to Chicago at once, in case
his identity was established beyond all
question.

A TELEGRAPH To kLONDlkE.
Vancouver. B. c.. Oct. 31.-Mr. Chas.
R. Hosmer. general manager of the Pa
cifc Postal Telegraph, says that today
regarding the telegraph communica-
ton with Klondike that he understood
the Dominion government had this
matter under consideration. There
were no insurmountable difference in
the way. either in the construction or
the maintenance of a telegraph line
via Ashcroft and Quesnelle, which was
the route adopted in 1896. for connect
ing Asia and America. via the Boring
sea. This route passes through the
present Klondike country. A line con
Meeting Quesnelle, the northermost
point in British Columbia reached by
the telegraph. and Dawson City, II de-
cided upon within a few months, could
be put in operation by this time next
year. Stations can be established ev.
cry four miles and they would be used
in connection with the mounted police
and other departments.
Mr.. Hosmer leaves for Victoria this
evening and will proceed thence to San

Of the remaining AZ, 900 votes Of last
year. and say about 5000 mugwumps,
making 1000 altogether carrying their
combined votes up to 129. 900. The resi-
due of "a 900 votes will swell the dem
ocratic column. making its total
strength 49, 600. a conservative esti-
mate.
In Brooklyn the registration is 204,-
600. of which $4,000 votes will be poll
ed. A conservative estimate gives the
democrats Ga 1000. leaving 12S, 900 to be
divided otherwise. Tracy and Low are
apportioned IS, $500 of these. Henry
George, he assumes, will get 5000. The
remaining $4,000 votes include the g.
900 that We're with Shepherd in 1895
and these are credited to Tracy and
Low, 5000 to the socialists and 600 to
the prohibitionists. The remaining
10000 votes must be put into the reg
ular democratic column, making the
entire number there 81, 500.
The democrats will get so per cent
of the 90, 500 votes in the borough OF
Queens and a like percentage Of the
II 900 votes to be cast in the borough
of Richmond. Putting the figures to-
gether. Leader Grant says they show
that Judge Van Wycke will receive
240, 900 votes out of 527, 500 votes cast.

says:
Today John Watka. the Creek In
dish who shot Jonas Deer. another
member Of his own tribe, was legally

rivals for the hand of the same girl
and fought at a dance, at which she
was present. to decide who should gain
her. Watka killed Deer, and after
wards married the Indian maiden. Sew
eral days prior to the time preparations
for his wife's future welfare we're COM
pleted. and the pang Of parting over,
Watka set out alone to the public xe-
cution grounds. In due time he arriv,
ed-the crowd was waiting. The pris-
oner assumed his position on Bonded
knees. with arms tied behind, and
blindfold Eel his eyes. The rifle was
placed in the hands Of a keen marks
man; the sharp crack and the white
spot marked for the heart was dis
colored with the squirting blood caus-
ed by the deadly bullet.
Late this summer Watka went to
Kansas City with a baseball nine Of his
fellow reds, and played a game at one

tunity to escape. but returned to the
territory OF his own accord that his
sentence might be carried Out.

The DAnOdil.

It is now many centuries since, ao- cording to Ovid, the young man Narcis- sus was changed into 8 daffodil because of his pining away from seeing his love- ly shadow in the water. But it can hardly be from sympathy with the un- fortunate youth that the flower has con- tinued to be so popular during all these long ages. Certain it is that it has as high value today in the gardens of persons of taste as in the flower plot of the humblest cottager. No garden is considered to be quite complete without its little patch of daffodils.
 Of late years florists have given st- tention to raising varieties from them, and the record of their many forms is 6 feature of the catalogue of all seedsmen. Double ones formerly carried of the palm for popularity, but in recent times the single variety is regarded as quite as desirable. e.-Meehan's Monthly.
