The railroads of the United States are not
supposed TO be unfriendly to the govern
ment, but they are killing entirely too many
OF its troops. Most of the casualties are
caused by moving troop trains in sections
and running the sections too close together.
The accident at Tupelo. Miss, in which four
men were killed outright and a large number
injured, was caused by a following section
running into the preceding one, which had
stopped for water. There are well known
rules to prevent this kind of accident, and
the government should make an investiga-
ton to learn whether they were enforced in
this instance, and, if not. why not; also,
who was to blame for their INFRINGEMENT.

the people of the locality OF the right to

spirit of home rule. If the Massachusetts
supreme court should move up to such a
position as that, what havoc would result

,Hlcd-O 1OSt
A gentleman who returned from Omaha
last Thursday morning tells us that he is
now just beginning to feel a reduction to
normal temperature. His experience has
made it extremely difficult for us to answer
the question so frequently put, What is the
best time to visit Omaha? Throwing aside
the matter of parboiling weather and consid-
fered this summer by the metropolis OF Ne
braska, we believe we may say that there
are certain periods of conventions when the
visitor to the famous exposition will find
counter delights and rival festivities. Per-
sous DESTROYS of seeing Omaha at a time
when it is pulsing with life and gayety
might time their visit to catch the conven-
ton of the National Beekeepers' associa-
ton or the Daughters of SPHINX or the West
make arrangements to meet with the Amer
lean Cemetery Superintendent of the West
ern genealogical association, or the Ma
tional Funeral Directors, or the Sons OF Pho
Biography, or the Nebraska Retail Liquor
Dealers. This is only a small proportion of
thriving industries whose representatives
will gravitate to the proud city of the plains
this summer, but it will suffice to give an
idea of the life and hustle or the western
Nebraska sun. We suppose that everybody
will rush to Omaha before the snow flies,
and we take pleasure in briefly enumerating
some of the features of metropolitan gayety
not associated directly with the exposition.

ANY disease may be deadly enough
when YOU have no adequate means
at hand TO confront it. Plenty of peo-
pie die every day of durable diseases,
simply because the stereotyped, routine,
s~enseiess methods and remedies usually
employed are not halfway equal to the
occasion.
But when a truly scientific remedy like
DR.. Picrce's great Golden Medical Dis
covery" is brought to bear upon the
complaints which it is designed to cure,
it penetrates the tough hide-bound armor
of obstinate disease with the same I'M
erring accuracy and power with which a
modern rifle penetrates a savage shield.
IT had been doctoring and using patent medi-
cine for about n year and a half, being unable to

"The doctor said I had heart disease and indi-
gcstion. 1t began with a choking and oppressed
my throat clear down into my stomach. My
appetite was usually poor, and I was as weak
and nervous as though I had been starved out
for months. My heart kept throbbiug coutin-
ually and I was short of breath.
N, V. for advice and he informed me that I had

The highest income received during
any n year by the state land board.
of which Governor Osborne was presi-
dent, was about $12,97O. But the in
come Of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment OF Governor Richards admins
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
leasing Of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $36, 9S2.S 6. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional legis-
lation, as lieu lands, 341,77 acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue Of ST, OSS. 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. 909.51. As a result of wise
legislation and a republican governor,
and as a result Of the thorough and
painstaking work Of the present stats
examiner, and heartily co-operated In
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state. although fhe number Of counties
has been increased, the expenses OF
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920, 09S. 93, or a saving of over
$50, 900 per annum to the taxpayers Of
Wyoming.
Attention is called to the TACT 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 $1,000 to the sum
Of SIS, 600. 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 aminis-
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 SOW
erign state hat 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 fulills its pledges and
always adlieres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number, we fear no criticism, but sub
nit our record to the most scrutinlzing
investigation.
