WHOLESOME ADVICE.
For People Whose Stomachs are Weak
and Digestion Poor.

DR.. Harlandson, whose opinion in
disease is worthy OF attention, says
when a man or woman comes to me
complaining Of indigestion. loss Of ap-
petite, sour stomach, belching, sour,
watery-risings, headaches, sleepless-
ness, lack Of ambition and a general run
down nervous condition l advise them
to take after each meal one or two of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, allowing
the tablet to dissolve in the mouth,
and thus mingle with the food eaten.
The result is that the food is speedily
digested before it has time to sour and
ferment. These tablets will digest food
anyway whether the stomach wants to
or not, because they contain harmless
digestive principles. vegetables essences,
pepsin and Golden Seal which supply
Just what the weak stomach lacks.
l have advised the tablets with
great success, both in curing indiges-
ton and to build up the Tissues, in
creasing flesh In thin, nervous patients,
whose real trouble was dyspepsia, and
as soon as the stomach was put to
rights they did not know what sickness
was.
A 50-cent package Of Stuart's Dys.
pepsia Tablets can be bought at any
drug store, and as they are not a secret
patent medicine, they can be used "a
often as desired with full assurance
that they contain nothing harmful in
the slightest degree; on the contrary,
anyone whose stomach Is at all derang-
eded will find great cement from the
use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
They will cure any form of stomach
weakness or disease except cancer Of
the stomach. Full-siEe package at

and Mutton-Captain Chittenden's
Report Upon Storage Reservoirs.
For many years, and o p~articu-
larry during the past six months, The
Republican has been advocating with
considerable energy the encourage
ment of agricultural pursuits in this
state and county. Agriculture must
eventually prove VI greatest source
Of wealth 1--WE mean the tillins Of the
soil and not stock raising alone) and
this being the case, the people of Wyo-
ming cannot too soon take advantage
Of the wonderful possibilities In store.
OF course nothing can be done in the
way Of raising grain, etc., in this state
without irrigation and to more thor
oughly irrigate the land we must con-
serve the flood waters, utilizing the

ed third by Captain Chittenden IN his
mastery report II we could secure
legislation which would give US this
blessing Laramie would proft i'm
mensely, as we'll as all those who own
the land below.
1t Is the greatest question which the
statesmen OF the west have to deal with
today. Upon this Important question
the Cheyenne sun-leader says:
Just so long as the people OF the
state OF Wyoming send outside for
flour. oats. corn, potatoes, the great
bufk OF h produce they consume, they
will not participate in the nations
prosperity to an equal extent with other
localities. This fact the Sun-Leader
has asserted for the past e years In
as strong language as 1t could properly
use. The leading republicans OF the
state recognize the conditions n Hmt-
tations under which our people exist
and have striven most earnestly to
solve the problem. They recognise
that it is necessary to utilize the
large streams as they come down from
the mountains, and that immense
storage basins should be established
where the conditions are favorable for
construction at moderate cost, taking
advantage of the d~epressions which oc-
cur near the foothills. They know that
the state is not able to bear the expense
of such work. and efforts have been
made to procure government aid.
As the result Of prolonged efforts in
a educational way BY our oongres-
sional delegation, consisting Of War

A PROPOSED BALLOT Law.
10 tho Editor Of the Press:


The following system of voting has
been sugge as substitute for the
Aus ralian ballot:
/. The present provisions of Law relat-
ing to the form of the ballot, its marking
and it's printing by the State, to be
repealed.
aud every ballot to be counted when the
interest OF the voter is plainly EXPRESSED
thereon.
8. The voting booths to be retained,
but re ersed in position.
4. Official envelopes to be placed in
each booth.
s. A SPACE in the voting room to be
rallied off within which ballot distributors
are to be limited. The distribution OF
ballots elsewhere in the voting room and
on the streets to be prohibited E'ch po-
litical party to have the right to appoint
one ballot distributor to place within
the railing, and persons not exceeding six
wishing to distribute ballots variant
from any req ular party ticket may be adj
mitted by the officer presiding at the cleo
ton. Each ballot distributor to be OBJ
liaed to give to each voter applying there
for one ballot.
6. The voter may provide himself with
ballot before coming to the polls at any
place not on the street, or he may take
from thu distributors one or more ballots.
He NAV then retire behind the booth
where he will place the ballot he wishes
/ to cast in one Of the official envelopes and
then deposit the envelope in the box.
All the details of the system have not
been elaborated in the foregoing state
ment, but the general outline is probably
stated with sufficient clearness, SO that
the general outline OF the plan can be
understood.
1t is urged in its favor that all the adj
vantages OF the Australian ballot law are
preserved, and all the disadvantages are
eliminated. The use of the envelope per-
mits the voter to keep his vote absolutely
sece if he wishes. No system can do
more.
The feature of the Australian law
which has most commended it to the citi-
zens at large is the good order which pre-
walls at the polls. The same good order
is secured by the enforced confinement of
the " Is distributors within a space set
apart for them, much as heckmen are
limited to a limited place in railroad sta
tions, which will prevent the persistent
solicitation formerly so annoying.
On it's face the plan here outlined APP
pears to afford plain and simple meth
cd of secret voting, very little liable to
cause mistake, and in which every vote
can be counted. 1t will certainly be eco
uomioaI in it's administration. 1t will
avoid all the technicalities now necessary
to get names on he official ballot.
My object in this letter is to invite a
suggestion of possible objections based
upon critical consideration of the plan
itself That is, is it liable to lead to er-
rors, and If 90, howp Will it make bri-
bery, Intimidation or fraud easier than at
present?

EUGENE FIELD

BY 5. Terry Mexican. Jr.
Eugene Field.-what delightful moments
We can recall At the mention Of that
name moments spent IN pouring over his
little volumes Of verse-and such vers"
simple aud quaint yet fairly hubbllng
over with humor or touched with pathoH;
truly his writings hold a unique place in
the literature Of tho world
Fancy the father or mother who In the
past have lost their little one. reading
Fields Little Boy Blue" without awak-
ening n food Of memories Of their little
boy blue who while sleeping was awak-
enod by the angel song" and perchance
of the "lIttlc toy dog" and "tin soldiers
they have laid away, moro precious 20
them than rubies.
But there rs the opposite side to Fields
nature hs humorous and Of course
brighter side; FOR nm Illustration TN men
ton "sceln' Things Al night" can you
read that little poem without smiling as
you think Of the number ~ times -
when n boy. you had been sent early 10
bed "fer bcln wlckcd?" And again. how
often when Won had been put TO bed,
said your prayers, your fond mother had
turned out the light, bid you "secp
tight" and softly closed the door, how
YOU would open your eyes and the room
being dark, imagine you could "scc
things" how every shadow would almost
stop your hearts beat, you "wuz so
skecrcd"
To my mind Eugene Field with whit
comb Riley as close second, stands
alone as the exponent Of child life In
verse; there Is that something about his
poetry that appeals to you-you are not
satisfied with one reading and you read
It again.
Quoting from an article that appeared
In the Chicago Intcr-Ocean: "lf America
had a Westminster Abbey with It's
poets corner, he would be one to there
find rest"
Field was born in 1850, and died Novcm-
Der (, 1856 at his home near Chicago

money, but rich in friends and memo
res."
