Stone at iva had been held up and rob-
bed OF $l45 cash. The telegram also
stated that the event occurred at $3.50
o'clock and Il was signed by R. d. Rob-
inson. who is manager Of the store. It
was understood that the intervening
time was taken up in riding horseback
to W%heatland, the nearest telegraph sta
ton, from which place the message
came.
Mr.. Stone called in Sheriff Shaver
who wired to Agent Brice at Wheatland
for particulars Of the ho.d-up at IVA
and after a little while the following
message was received by the sheriff:
J. P. Shaver, Sheriff:
AT $50 tonight two men rode up to
Robinson's store. one dismounted, walk

Again the bell peals forth from the

youth OF Laramie to their lessons, after
a three months vacation.
a singular feature OF our schools is
that they are SO seldom visited by those
who should be most interested. Par
ents are rarely seen in our schools ex-
cept on some Friday afternoon, when
there is to be a special program. Have
the mothers ever thought that they
might be not only interested but in

greatly to build up a cultured and cultl-
waited society in hat city.
At the woman's congress-. held in San
Francisco last May. Helen Gardner. the
gifted writer, delivered a remarkab BILE
address on women. The idea all through
was the necessity Of women fitting them
selves for that highest and best vocation
in LIE. conscientious. intelligent moth
erhOod. After all. It is the woman who
is the best mother who is the one to be
most highly honored. The literary wo-
man may win distinctiCn: the artist,
fame. but she who devotes her time to
the careful training OF the immortal
souls entrusted to her keeping does more
for The good O: the world. for society
and humanity than her sisters in all the

Jack Manders. who has been keeping
a saloon for some time at Marquette,
met a violent death a few days ago,
says the Ohto Rustler. Our information
Is that he rode away On a spirited horse
to look after a bunch OF stock in which
he was interested. 1t is supposed that
while riding his horse 1t threw and Tell
on him and that while in a dazed condi-
ton ne got up and wandered to a cliff,
over which he fell several feet, break
ing his neck. He lay there until found
a few days afterward. At the inquest
held before Justice w. P. Webster a
verdict Of accidental death was found.
The unfortunate man came to this coun-
try from Scotland. from which country
he received q handsome installment Of
money every three months.

Prussia,s Amber Monopoly.

The working of amber in Prussia is a
monopolylin. the hands of a firm whic'
owns the two best mines, the Palmnick-
en- and Kraxtepelle. For the concession
it has, according to a report from the
British consul at Dantzig, to pay to the
German government a royalty of $780,
900 marks year. 1t is reckoned, says
the London News, that this firm has,
up to now, paid no less than $1,000
900 in royalties to the German govern
ment. In addition to the output from
the mines in 1895, good deal of amber
was picked up on the. beach at the Pill
lau, in the province of East Prussia,
being washed up with the seawood dur
ing the prevalence of northwesterly
gales. The shore at Pillau after storm
is sometimes covered with a layer of
seaweed three feet thick, among which
the amber is found entangled. Men,
women and children find easy and lu
crative employment in searching for the
amber along this part Of the amber
coast. The people engaged in this pre-
carious work often earn Sc day or
more. In 1895 about 100 tons of raw
amber came to Dantzig to be worked
up, as compared with 140 tons in 1894.
1t is nearly all melted to make lac and
varnish. The larger pieces are also
made into beads, which are sent all
over the world. The beads known to
the trade as the Leghorn corals, are in
strong demand.

Russian Railroads.

Russia, with over 4,875, 900 square
miles more than the United States, has
158, 900 miles less of railroads. says
the Boston Courier. Most of the en-.
gines burn naphtha oil for fuel, with
excellent results. This oil is the ref
use from the first refining and costs
about 40 cents per barrel. This oil is
also used for general lubricating pur-
poses. None of the engines have bells,
but instead they have two whistles.
The engines are finely painted, the
wheels red, the frame black, jacket
and cab green, with fine black stripe;
the inside of cabs nearly white, or
cream color. The speed of freight
trains is limited to 20 miles an hour,
and the fast express is limited to 35
miles per hour. In switching and
making up of trains all signals are
given by sound-that is, the switchman
has tin horn which he blows and the
engine driver is obliged to repeat this
signal by whistle before he goes
ahead. When and engine stops the en-
gineer is required to give three short
whistles.

(To be Continually

People never get an encouragement
for doing the good samaritan act in
the interests of the public, as the man
decided who offered to assist a dis
tracted woman and ameliorate the suf-

The boy who howls was in evidence,
the curled darling of his only own
mother and the terror of erybody
else, and he had kept the car in a state
of wild excitement and exhausted the
patience of everybody, including his
doting parent.
"Oh, if your father were only here"
she had said for the fiftieth time, as
she tried vainly to restrain the bowling
terror.
At that he stopped bowling long
enough to beat the air with his small
shins, and the woman on the other
side of him remarked audibly that
cage was the proper place for savages
like him.

won't you be good boy?"

with him.
Then it was that the philanthropist
of the company asserted himself He
had been trying In vain to read his
morning paper ever since he started
from home.

ly; Il am father myself, and l will
be happy to chastise your cherub in
behalf of his absent parent"
..Oh, no, you won't, not If l know it!''
said Johnny's mother, rising in her
wrath like Hgress. There amt that
man living dare lay a finger on that
boy-hts own father or any other ugly
old catamount who thinks he knows it
ALL" and she effectually shut off de-
bate by going into the next car and
taking the sweet infant with her.
