FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The fire department is very important
branch OF public service. The city has
been very fortunate in it's fire loss in the
past years, and great credit Is due the
department. that it was not greater. We
have good facilities for fire protection,
good apparatus and hydran5 service,
ample water supply and efficient conipa
MES. One of the most essential things
in fire department. is harmony, and 1
trust it will prevail during the present
year. We have every reason to believe
that the Chief Engineer and his men are
alive to the responsibilities resting upon
them, and will leave nothing undone to
give our homes and our property all the
profession in their power. The Chief
Engineer, in his report, makes few sug-
gestions and recommendations that l
think are good, and should receive your
consideration.

relieve the treasury Of the obligation
to redeem them should there arise an
extraordinary demand for gold.
Mr.. Altgeld says that the govern
ment obtains no benefit from this sub
stitution of notes, but IL he had read
and understood the bill before attack
ing it he would have found that in ad-
dition to this retirement of the green
backs a tax of 2 per cent is levied on
all issues of national currency notes in
excess of 60 per m of the capital Of
any national bank and a tax Of 6 per
cent on the excess OF 80 per cen of
such capital.
These national currency notes,
based upon commercial assets, are to
be further secured by a bank note
guaranty fund made up Of the contribu-
tons of the banks.
THE object Of the bill is to intro
duce a safe and sound banking cur
rency, and yet so c~onservatively and
SO gradually that the business commu-
nifty will hardly be aware Of the trans
action.
"Mr. Altgeld argues as il the $780,
600, 900 Of greenbacks and government
notes were to be withdrawn all at
once whereas it will take at least five
years and perhaps ten to bring that
result about.
THE bill is, in fact. a wise and pru-
dent measure that will, in the course
of time, establish the finances Of the
people and of the nation upon those
sound and enduring principles that
time and experience have proven to be
the best.
THE Times-Herald sincerely trusts
that all the people will carefully study
it, for the more it is studied and the
better it is understood, it's wisdom and
conservatism will be the more clearly

any one year by the state land board,
of which Governor Osborne was prsd-
dent, was about $12,970. 5ut the In
come Of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the comrlence-
ment of Governor Richards siimnis-
tration until during tie lat fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
state board for said year. from the
leasing Of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $36, 982.S9. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional legis-
lation, as lieu lands, 4 Ito acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been fled which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue Of $17,0S8. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
Of Wyoming the annual expenses of
the county government to the tax pay
ers Of Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum Of 1870. 9o9.51. Az a result Of wise
legislation and a republican governor,
and as a result of the thorough and
painstaking work of the present state
examiner. and heartily c~o-operated In
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state. although the NUMBER Of counties
has been increased, the expenses Of
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920, 098. 93, OF a saving Of e
$50, 900 per annum to the taxpayers of
Wyoming.
Attention Is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be COL
lected from corporations incorporated
under the laws Of this state and from
insurance companies whereby the
annual income of the state has been
increased over a year of the Osborne
administration from s. 5000 to the sum
Of $4,000. These are but instances Of
the progress made by the state and
and the advantages gained to the tax
payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and amdnis-
tration.
We censure and condemn John e.
Osborne, Wyoming's representative in
congress, for neglect of duty In leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history Of the nation.
causing Wyoming to be the only sov-
erign state that did not respond to
roll call in the house OF representatives
on the adoption of the declaration Of
war for humanity and the maintenance
Of national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
is a paryt that fulhlls its pledges and
always adheres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number, we fear no criticism. but sub
NIT our record to che most scrutinizins
investigation.

A A DOCTOR.

Barnum was not the first man to
humbug the people nor the last. OF
late years there has grown up a syndi-
cate of q,Iack doctors who travel about
the country giving free consultation
and charging a fabulous price for pro-
missed cures. In giving their free dag
nosis they try to make their victim
believe he has some terrible aifment
that threatens his life. This is more
easily accomplished than is generally
supposed, as most persons have a dis
order OF some kind or can be made to
believe SO. To convince the patient
that great skill will be required to ef-
physician would not succeed, the Quack
fixes an extraordinary price for his
services and finally consents to take a
90-day note. which he Immediately dis
counts at the bank. The victim is re-
Heved-of his money. but gets valu-
able experience. DR.. Osborne works on
this plan. He travels about telling the
people they are desperately sick and
that he is the only physician to cure
them. Like the veritable q,tack he
his wonderful cure-all and tells
the public that it will cure corns or
consumption, itch or insomnia, mumps
or measles, cramp or cancer.
In this way he has twice secured en-
First, in 1892 and again in
1896. What benefits the people have
from his services does not ap-
pear on the record. None Is claimed by
Osborne, o have any Of his pa
tents given him a certificate Of recov-
cry, SO that he appears before US the
bird time without testimonials.
He offers his old remedy, free silver, !
which has been discarded in the east

THEIR LATEST F~ALSEHOOD.

Obedient to Instructions from Chair
man Jones Of the democratic national
committee. his subordinate, John E.
Osborne, is telling the people OF Wyo-
ming that a bill has been introduced in
congress that will retire all the green
backs, all the silver certificates and all
the silver. leaving the people Of Ameri-
ca to depend for their circulating medi-
UNI upon gold and national bank notes
alone. Many people will wonder why
1t is that Mr.. Osborne has waited till
this late day to spring this upon the
people. 1T is because his statements
are misleading and untrue. Word has
been passed along the line by Chairman
Jones and such men as Altgeld, Os-
borne and others are now retailing his
falsehoods to the people. A recent is
sue OF the Chicago Times-Herald took
UP this very matter, and as we have not
a copy OF the bill in question at hand,
we quote the Times-Herah article in
full, as follows:
MIR. Altgeld's article attacking the
McCleary bill, is full Of such astounding
mis5tatements as to the tenor and
meaning Of that measure that 1t is diff
cult to comprehend his audacity save
on the assumption that he knows his
readers are entirely ignorant OF the
measure and may possibly take his
word for what It contains. He quotes
neither a paragraph nor a line OF the
bill to fortify his assertions, but goes
on with the most unblushing assurance
to say that it mean this or that, as he
may think his adroit ~perversions will
most alarm his readers. For instance.
he says:
Under this bin all greenbacks and
other forms Of government paper now
circulating as money and amounting to
upwards Of $40O, 900, 900. are to be IAN
celedl and the government is to issue
interest bearing notes or bonds that
will not circulate as money in their
stead, thus increasing the annual bur-
den OF the American people to the ex-
tent OF many millions OF dollars
THE Times-Herad challenges Mr..
Altgeld to quote a single section Of the
bill That provides for any such thing.
No bonds and no interest bearing notes
are to be issued for the redemption Of
the greenbacks Of other legal tender
notes OF the government. Those notes
are to be retired in two ways. First, "
they are presented at the treasury and
gold is demanded for them. they are to
be Cancelled and not paid out again
except under certain conditions care
BULLY guarded. Second. a national
bank desiring to issue circulation on
its commercial assets may deposit an
amount of greenbacks with the treas
Try and receive therefore a new class of
Dotes called national reserve notes.
which bear no interest, as Mr.. Altgeld
The bank is then permitted to Is

assets to the amount Of
reserve notes It has received The pur-
pose o6 this measure 10 to take the

was declared against Spain and that
a sale of bonds was entirely unneces
sary. Further than this, he says that
subsequent events have proved the sale
OF bonds unnecessary because there is
still more than ample funds in the
treasury in excess of the $2OO, 900, 900
bond sale. This is a very high tribute
to the financial ability OF the Mckinley
administration. but how in the name of
reason did the government get that
money II the Dingley revenue law
didn't raise 1t? The trouble with
Johnny's logic is that it is lame.

unable to find any serious ailment. or
course he conjures up a lot OF evils
which he says exist in the body polite,
but the people are "tolerably we'll, l
thank you" and he finds it difficult to
convince them they are sick. 1t is right
here D. Osborne fails. His free con-
sultaticn dodge don't work in the year
1898. They are not only well, but they
don't want to be told they are sick.
Furthermore, they don't propose to re-
tain the services of a doctor whose
treatment they only survived by refus-
ing to take his medicine.

HON. FRANK w. MONDELI.
Hon. Frank W. Mondeu. the republican candidate for congress. is well
and favoaby known in every portion Of our state as the fearless and able
representative of Wyoming in the Fifty fourth congress, o which occasion
he did noble service in behalf Of the nation and the commonwealth of Wyo-
ming. 1t has been many times remarked by men Of experience in the halls
Of congress that few men eve entered that body and accomplished sc much
during their first session as he did. His record of services will be found in
column in this supplement. While in the national house of repre-
sentatves he made for himself a name and a reputation which extended far
80 much for his state during his first term in congress.
The people o our state will do wisely If they select, Ito represent them, a
tried IN true who las been uccessfu in the past and understands
how to secure legislation Of the character W q need. In all human probability
the next house OF representatives. like the present, will be republican by a
large majority, and il 81 it would be the height of folly fol Wyoming to elect
a congressman who will be obliged to act with the minority and be unable to
ecu legislation lin the interest of u state. A vote or Monden is a vote
for Wyoming; a vote to extend our national domain both easta nd west and
Tor the extension Of IL trade to the islands Of the Atlantic and the Pacific;
a vote t. sustain President Mckinley and our brave soldiers and sailors; and
a vote to keep our country the granary and manufacturing center of the
world.

No DAMAGE by THE STORM.
Wind Only Ten Miles Below Hurri-
cane Force.


Tho highest velocity attained by the
wind during the storm of last Thursday
night was forty miles an hour. which is
only ten miles below hurricane force In
spite of the violence of the storm, how
ever. no damage was done beyond the
breaking of limbs from trees.
A rare phenomenon which appeared
twice during the storm was lunar rain
bow. 1t was seen in the western sky
shortly after o'clock and again just be-
fore II o'clock. 1t was very clearly de-
fined. and the colors were distinctly WISH
bic.
To-day the indications are for fair
weather. The general conditions are
given by Mr.. A. f. Evans, Of the Wea-
Their Bureau, as follows:
The high barometer pressure has in
creased in energy and area since yester-
day morning. and now occupies the CEN
trail valleys and portions of the Middle
and South Atlantic States, causing cooler
and generally clear weather. In the
Northwest the barometer is still low,
and the temperature has risen somewhat
Some cloudiness prevails in the upper
Mississippi Valley and in the New Eng
land States, but elsewhere IL is mostly
clear.
Rain has fallen in the States along the
Atlantic and Gulf, also in the Northwest
Cool. clear weather is indicated for this
vicinity tonight and Saturday.
