PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.


Washington, July 6.-Presi-
dent Mckinley, at 11:40 tonight,
issued the following proclama
ton to the American people.
To the People of United States
of America.
At this time, when, to the yet
fresh remembrance of the IN
preceden ted success which at
tended the operations of the
United States feet in the bay of
Manila, on the first day of May
last, are added the tidlngs of the
no less glorious achievements of
the naval and military arms of
our beloved country at Santiago
de Cuba, it is fitting that we
should pause, and, staying the
feeling OF exultation that to nat
urally attends great deeds
wrought by our countrymen in
our country's cause, should rev
erently bow before the throne Of
divine grace and give devout
praise to God who holdeth the
nations in the hollow Of His
hands and worketh upon them
the marvels His high will and
who has thus far vouchsafed to
US the light of his face and led
our brave soldiers and seaman
to victory.
l, therefore, ask the people of
the United States, upon next as
sembling for divine worship, in
their respective places of meet
ing to offer thanksgiving to Al
mighty God, who, in His in
scrutable ways, now leading our
hosts upon the waters to un.
scathed triumph. now guiding
them in a strange land through
the decade of shadows of death
to success, even though at a
fearful cost, now bearing them
without accident or loss to far
distant climes, has watched over
our cause and brought nearer
the success of the right and the
attainment of justice and honor
able peace.
With the nations thanks let
there be mingled the nations
praises that our gallant sons may
he shielded from harm alike on
the battlefield and in the clash
of fleets and be spared the
scourge of suffering and disease
while they are striving to up
hold their country's honor, and
withal let the nations heart be
stilled with holy sweet the
thought Of the noble men who
have perished as herses die and
be filled with compassionate
sympathy for all those who
suffer bereavement or endure
sickness, wounds and bends by
reason of the awful struggle.
And above all, let us pray with
earnest fervor, that He, the dis.
penser Of all good, may speedily
remove from us the untold
Affections Of war and bring to
our dear land the blessings Of
restored peace and to all the do
main now ravaged by the cruel
strife the priceless boon of se-
curity and tranquility.

A WOMAN FOUND DEAD.

DR.. Thode was called to Fort Steele
Wednesday evening by a telegram
which stated that a oma had been
discovered dead in bed in a house where
she had been living. The woman was
known as Patricia Guanas, having been
living with a Mexican by that name to
whom she claimed she was married.
The a is employed by H. M. Sholine
as a sheep herder. The woman was also
formerly employed by Sholine. but a
few months ago she and Guanas came
to Rawlins and when they returned as
serted that they had been married. The
records of the county clerks office do
not show that a marriage license was
ever issued to parties of that name.
Since then the parties have been liv-
ing together in a house in Fort Steele
owned by Mrs. Sholine. The man was
o at home at the time OF the death of
the woman The remains were buried
at Fort Steele Thursday.-Rawlins Re-

WHY HE wEEps.
BILLY" Bsmef Nr-si. al Embarras,
sing Position.

The Salt Lake Tribune gives the
following account of a mean trick
played upon BILLY" Bramel by a Salt
Lake judge:
D. B. Hampstead and W. II. Bramel
are the saddest young men in the ranks
OF the Salt Lake democracy. They re-
gard themselves as the victims of a DO,
litical job or a misfortune. 1t matters
no which. The result is the same.
And they attribute the misfortune that
has overtaken them to Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney Graham F.. Putnam. who
like themselves is moving hat portion
OF heaven and earth he EAR reach
to obtain the democratic nomination
for County Attorney.
Judge Norrel the other day appoint
ed Mr.. Hampstead to defend John F.
Wilson, a pauper, charged with burg,
larry. On the same day he selected Mr..
Bramel as counsel for James Corbin, a
colored man, over whom the charge OF
HOUSEKEEPING is impending. There is
no glory to be wrested from the conduct
of either case. and no money. The two
attorney candidates. realizing that eff
fective defense OF their clients is I'M
possible, fear that Mr.. Putnam. as pros
ecutor. will win some easy laurels from
them just before the convention. But
more than this they are apprehensive
that the cases will be set for V
b:on ~week-their busiest time.
About town the selection Of Bramel
and Hampstead to defend the men was
regarded as an excellent joke and r
ious attorneys offered them assistance
in the defense.

SUNDAY NIGHT BURGLARY,
Rooms of Mr.. and Mrs. J. ]. McCutch.
con Entered and VaIu .sNhas Taken,

Last evening between s -.I 3 O'Clock
the roms over the ofice IT VIM. D.
Thomas on Gran, avccue, occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. J. j. McCutcheon, were
entered by some person or persons I'M
known and money and jewelry Of the
value of over 500 taken. The robbery
was committed during the absence OF
Mrs. McCutcheon, who had gone to
church, and before Mr.. M%cCutheon, who
has been absent at Douglas, had reach
ed the city.
The indications point strongly to the
s~upposition that the burglary was
committed by someone who is familiar
with the premises. The rooms were
entered through the door, which had
been unlocked and locked again after
the theft had been committed
The articles of most value taken by
the thief or thieves were a pair of dia-
mend earrings, worth $50, a gold
watch which cost $40. a revolver, a gold
pen and $l3 in cash. Numerous other
small articles of less value were also
taken.
h loss was discovered about 10
O'Clock last night, when Mrs. McCutch-
con was putting away some rings which
She had been wearing during the even
ing.
h matter was Immediately reported
TO the police; but as no clue was left
by the robber it is extremely doubtful
II the guilty II will be apprehended.

NEWS OF THE STATE
EXAMINER HENDERSON'S RE-
PORT ON THE CONDITION
OF STATE BANKS.
HOld-Up at Big Piney-Woman Found
Dead at Fort Steele-Arrested on a
Charge of Arsenic Incorporate
the Town of Kemmerer-Interest-
ing State Items.

Cheyenne Tribune: In his letter Of
t~ransmittal Of the abstract Of condition
of state private banks, to Governor
Richards, State Examiner Henderson
in part says
Il have the honor to hand you here
with an abstract of the condition OF
state and private banks al close of
business, July 18th. 1898. The abstract
is interesting in that it shows a less
amount of r~e-discounts and bills pay
able than the May statement, a greater
amount OF loans and discounts and alb
solute lack Of congestion Of funds. The
May statement showed a deposit slight.
ly i'm excess of the present one but at
the same time loans and discounts ma
terially less than that of July 14th.
During the past three months the loan
account in all banks has been largely
increased. Deposits which had contin-
ued to increase until about June 18th
were then made subject to drafts,
drawn in payment of extensive pur-
chases of sheep and cattle. In this
manner the general withdrawal for
investment has amounted to approx
mately 5000, 900.
THE statement shows that at the
close of business July %, 1897, there
were deposits in the banks OF Wyoming
amounting to $2.957, sos. AZ, while upon
July 14th, 1898, the total deposits of
such banks were $3,444, 534.S1, an in
crease in less than twelve months, Of
$4S7 .O25.1 10. Estimating that the popu-
lation Of the state is 80, 900. the increase
per capita approximates Sc. The loans
and discounts at close OF business July
%, 1897. aggregated $2.4s6, 734.62. while
upon July 18th, 1898, the aggregate of
this account was 49, 37 ,223. AZ, an in
crease of $3.50, 4SS. 80. The increase,
both in deposits and leans accrue pro,
portionately to the several classes of
banks in about the same ratio as their
business bears to the whole. With such
a statement there can DO no doubt of
a healthy and prosperous condition ex-
listing within this state"
