THE SUPREME COURT PASSES up
or THE CARBON COUNTY
ELECTION CASE
Sustaining the Contention of the Dem
ocratic Observation-Disclosures All
Voters Within This State Must Be
Able to Read the Constitution in
the English Language.

Cheyenne. Wyo.. Nov. 15.-(Special
to The Republican.)-The Wyoming
supreme curt today rendered a decis,
ion in the Carbon county contested
election cases sustaining the contention
of the contestants who were the demo,
cratic candidates for county attorney,
treasurer and commissioner at the last
election. that foreign-born citizens
must be required to read the constitu-
ton of the state In the English Ian
guage in order to vote. One hundred
and fifteen ~Finlanders who voted for
the defendants could not read the o n
stitution in English, but their votes
were accepted because they could read
it in their own language. The decision
will seat the contestants and settle deh-
nitely what the requirements of the
educational test OF the Wyoming con-
%stitution are.

PENlTENTIARY LECTURES.

One of the most interesting lectures
in the course being given at the peni-
Tertiary was delivered by Prof. Soule
on Sunday afternoon. His subject was
"Hannibal.' and that greatest of all
military commanders was fortunate in
his b~iographer. He had fallen into
more sympathetic hands than those OF
the Romans. Yet Prof. Soule assured
his audience that all the material for
the story Of Hannibal's life is furnished
by his enemies. a fair indication of his
pre-eminence as a leader-for when an
enemy can discover no flaw a man
must be perfect.
Hannibal is a fascinating character,
and Prof. Soule did the theme full JUS
tiee. The lecture was delivered with
Il notes and its style was most fe-
licitous. Some passages were models
of refined eloQuence. The audience was
attentive and appreciative.
On next Sunday afternoon the SER
vice will be conducted by the Very Rev.
Frank J. Mallett. dean Of ST. Matthew's
cathedral; on the following Sabbath by
the Rev. Henry f. Golden. pastor of
the Presbyterian church.

load of paying freight, counting all
mileage, on many respectable rail-
roads. The average. for instance. on
seven important representative roads.
from the last official figures. is 257 tons,
which is considerably higher than the
average of the roads Of the country.
In this example the saving in train
length would be more than 500 feet,
which is a very important considera-
ton from the operating standpoint.
The saving in weight only indicates a
part of the saving in the cost Of haul
ing. Increasing the number OF cars
in the train adds to journal friction
and rolling friction, and to all wearing
and breaking parts. 1t increases the
resistance on tangents and to a still

In early days Mr.. Randall was connect

Y. and Thurlow Weeds office was to
the rea and above. In his day no
American had such control of public af-
fairs as Thurlow Weed and the result
was the bringing Of many of the public
men of the day to Albany. This ma
turally brought Mr.. Randall in contact
with them and he came to have n lik-
ing for public affairs. spending much
time in the study Of political questions
and conditions. Many readers of The

with him published in .ese columns
before the election of 1896, wherein he
gave a forecast of the coming event
which proved wonderfully accurate.
He predicted the defeat of Blaine in
1884 and, again. said it would be impos-
sible for the democrats to elect Cleve-
land in 1888. He is wonderfully happy

STEEL CAR TO THE FRONT.

STEEL CAR TO THE FRONT.
The present development of very ca
pacious cars is in steel, because, fo1
several reasons, steel cars can be made
lighter than wooden ears of the same
capacity, particularly when that capci-
~ is great. More paying load can be
hauled in a train Of the same gross
weight. Very capacious steel cars can
be built for approximately the same
cost per ton Of carrying as wooden
carr To handle a given amount OF
traffic fewer car would be required.
and for a given load the train would be
shorter. In these two facts r practi-
cal advantages which all railroad men
will recognize. Less track and yard
room would be required, fewer men to
handle and care for the rolling stock.
and other advantages Of short ~ COM
pared with long trains on the road are
sufficiently obvious. Furthermore, the
metal cara would be safer from de-
s~truction by FIRE.
A little analysis Of comparative train
weights shows some significant facts.
II we assume q train of 80 steel carr,
with 4 capacity of 100. 900 pounds each.
says the Railroad Gazette" It will
carry $500 tons Of paying freight, and
the dead weight Of the carr will be
$40 tons. or a total Of 2o10 tons. Atrain

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple, but Safe and Effec-
tual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long

full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with SOUL or
watery risings. a formation Of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and lungs
and difficult breathing: headaches,
tickle appetite, and a gen
eral played-out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter-
Tor of the stomach could be seen it
would present a Shiny. infamed condi-

peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed OF Dis
astase. Aseptic Pepsin. a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect safe
ty and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher of 271O Dearborn
street. Chicago. ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head. whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh Of stomach
without cure. but today I am the happi-
est of men after using only one box Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot
find appropriate words to express my
feeling. l have found flesh, appetite
and sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the SAT-

and most convenient remedy for any
form OF indigestion. catarrh Of stom>

PROFITABLE CATTLE RAISING.

PROFITABLE CATTLE RAISING.
The new conditions that have result
ed in confirming cattle to pastures, must
necessarily limit the herds and reduce
the profits. If the ranchnlen with small
pastures, and some irrigated agricul-
tural land. would sell of all cattle but
the cows, and Gull out the poor cows,
turn attention to raising calves for fall
sale. they would find 1t much more
profitable than bothering with raising
feeders. The hay and grain required
could be produced on the ranch and fed
to the stock. Suppose a ranchman has
pasturage for 100 cattle. let him get
that number of COWS instead Of a mixed
herd. Get good bulls. Take good care
Of the stock during the winter, have
shelter and feed them hay and some
grain. In the spring it will be safe to
count on at least 80 per cent Of calves.
The O being in good condition would
produce better calves, which will sell
readily at $11 per head in ordinary
times, making the ordinary income
from this source of at least $780,. To
secure an annual income of that
amount raising feeders would require
the possession Of a mixed herd OF 225
to $50 cattle, which would be expensive
in taxes and handling, and which could
not be done in many cases on account
OF limited %pasturage. Calves are al
ways In demand. Only recently 200
Of them, near the state line, sold for
$3.50 per head. while a carload sent
to Omaha brought $20.5O each, and
hardly any OF them were over six
months oid.-Central Wyoming News.

Crazy and Naked.

HARWINTON, Conn.,, Nov. 10. Bertha
Fiddler, q young German girl OF this place,
had been missing for ten days when a
farmer taking short cut through thick
woods saw wild girl running before him.
He pursued and caught her, but, shreking,
she fought to free herself. She wore only q
skirt her hair was tangled and matted her
form was covered with dust she spoke unin-
telliglbly. Nevertheless, the farmer recog-
nized her and compelled her to 20 with him
to the house Of her sister Mrs. Fred Miller.
There the girl could give no account Of
herself, could not tell where she had
been or how she had lived since she dis
appeared Since her return as often as
she has been dressed she has insisted upon
disrobing herself. She passes hours comb
ing her hair. No one living near the Har-
winton woods saw Bertha during the week
she was missing. thorough search OF the
woods disclosed in their densest part a
cave two miles and half from any house.
There are evidences In the cave that Bertha
dwelt in 1t. such as heap OF berries and a
bed OF leaves. On the day of her disappear
ance bundle containing everything woman
ordinarily wears except skirt was found
on the banks Of little stream here. The
clothing was identified as that of Bertha
Fiddler, and everyone naturally concluded
that she had been drowned.

4 Warm l,ukr In AlNsku

Dawson City, wonderful as it is in
many things, has still another wonder
about which little has been heard. 1t
is an immense lake, located back in
the mountains. not far away from the
greatest town on TIL, the waters of
which are always warm. Fish IN
countless thousands can he caught in
the coolest weather without trouble,
for the waters of the lake are never so
cold but one could battle in them.
The third claim this wonderful body
of water has for distinction is that,
while it is hundre Is of miles from the
ocean, and there is no apparent con-
lie 'tion between the two. the lake is
ati'e cted by the tide. Lake Selawik is
the name given to the discovery by
Father Tosi, Jesuit missionary, who
for years has been working among the
Alaska Indians in the interior. Seat

Inucht,r A. "a DANGEROUS Symptons.

II is an ordinarily accepted idea that
laughter and mirth o! all sorts are
healthful indications Insanity eX-
pert,, however, take very different
view of these mantle stations. Sur
geons aud nurses appr-hend serious
trouble when patients laugh after
grave operations. Highly organized
persons, or those whohave experienced
sudden and severe. shocks sometimes
show a disposition to laugh heartily.
In cases of this sort no time should
be lost in distracting the attention by
any and all possible means. There
are several cases where the mental
faculties seemed about to give way,
and probably would have done so hut
for the wise precautions of friends,
who took immediate steps to present
something entirely new to the patient
and to keep the thoughts away from
the cause of the shock. In delirium
much benefit is sometimes realized b,
entertaining the sufferer with anus
ing stories or questions. 1t keeps the
mind from running in one direction
and assists nature in restoring the
lost equilibrium.

He Sang Eyerything.

One of the amusing incidents that
figure in preachers experience is re.
lated by Rev. DR.. Mcintyre of Chica-
go: 81 cannot sing, unfortunately,
and so whenever L conducted REVIVAL
services used to take along friend
of mine named Vincent, a great, strap
ping fellow with a voice like the north
wind He never had had any musical
training, but, oh, he could sing.
Whenever he sailed into hymn, the
corn fields would turn their ears
toward the church. In those days
hymnbooks were scarce, and it was
customary for the minister to read two
lines of some familiar hymn, and the
congregation would then sing them,
the tune being generally known. On
one occasion / read two lines of long
meter hymn, and Vincent led the sing
ing magniticently. Then picked up
the Bible and read my text: is there
no balm in Gilead? Is no physician
there?' laid down the book, but be-
fore could begin preaching, Vincent's
voice arose, loud and clear, and the
congregation followed him in singing
the text. Too much surprised to col,
lect my scattered senses, I leaned over
the pulpit and in stage whisper said
to Vincent: The words I gave you
were the text and not hymn at all.
This time Vincent had monopoly Of
the singing, for the congregation had
not caught the words; but he never
stopped or wavered until he had sung
every word Of my confidential remark
to him. 1 sank into my seat. For the
next five minutes 1 didn't dare open
my mouth for fear Vincent would sing
me down. 1 paid him of that night
