Quoted by Mrs. Watt, superintendent
of pen~itentiary and reformatory work
for the state. Rev. Foster of st. Louis
offered the opening prayer. Mrs. Brown
told the men OF the origin of the flower
mission work and of the beautiful life
Of Jennie Cassidy, our SANITY promoted
comrade. Mrs. Watt gave a short,
earnest talk and Archdeacon Johnston,
chaplain of the penitentiary, closed the
services. AS the men passed out they
were each presented with a bouquet OF
flowers and a card containing a verse
of scripture. A few who were not sup
piled in passing held out their hands
eagerly for the little token OF love from
IL sisterhood.
Our state convention conyenes Sep
tember 18th, and we are to have with us
Mrs. Mary Jewett Telford, who is well
known in Laramie and throughout
Wyoming. first as the editress OF the
Challenge, a prohibition paper which
she published in Denver for years, at
terrward as the highest officer OF the W.
R. c. in the department OF Colorado
and Wyoming. In this position Mrs.
Telford fully demonstrated that 1t is
not necessary to be a party worshiper
to he patriotic, loyal and full of zeal.
During this time she never once forgot
that She was a white-ribboner. For
the last two years she has been the
efficient, wide awake president of the
w. c. T. U. for the great state OF Colo
RADIO. She will give us an address on
the evening Of September 7th and be
with us during the convention. We
hope the people of Laramie will i'm
prove the opportunity Of hearing her.

The twenty round glove contest came
off Sunday night as advertised. There
was a fair crowd in attendance who
expected to see a mill" of some dura-
ton, but were disappointed. The prin-
cipals, Mr.. Sid Sutton and a stranger
who styled himself Ed Cuff of San
Francisco, were rugged out in fighting
paraphernalia and ready for the bout
when time was called by Judge"
Dougherty, who acted as referee. Mr..
Cuff was a fighter and showed it when
he came into the ring. Mr.. Sutton had
eve had any experience in that line
of sport and showed himself as incap-
able of protecting himself against a
man of Cuffs ability. Sid. however,
landed a few Intellectual blows. The
principals shook hands at 9: 40 and sew
enteen seconds later Sutton lay on the
floor of the arena knocked out as COM
pletely as if he had been struck by
lightning. Mr.. Sutton is a good anna
teur athlete. especially in the wrestling
class, but frankly admits that he is nc
boxer and only put on the gloves with
Cuff after being persuaded by his
friends that no harm would result. Sid
is a good wrestler and we would advise
him to stick to his speciality in athletic
games.-Big Horn News.

A NEW WYOMING BANK.

The thriving little town Of Saratoga
is to have a bank. This Is an assur-
ance from the fact that the Platte Val
ley bank filed papers of incorporation
in the office of the secretary of state
this morning. The capital stock is $1O,-
900, which is divided into shares valid
ed at 800 eac.! and held by the follow
ing persons:

AN INVITATION.
Mothers Requested to Attend Sessions
of the Teachers Institute.

The recent movement along educa-
tional lines known by the title Moth
er's Movement has reached our city
and we believe that it is prophetic of
great good to be accomplished in the
near future.
The aim of the movement, as we un-
derstand it, is to bring about a hearty
cooperation OF mothers and teachers
for the more thorough training OF the
child-the making of better men and
women, the growing OF better citizens.
The benefits of such cooperation are
evident. The least antagonism be-
tween the training of the home and OF
the school can but have a baneful in
t1uence over the child. Wherever such
%antagonism exists it is but the con-
tinued attempt of the one to teal down
what the other is seeking to build.
Both mother and teacher are aiming
at the same object. They are interest
ed in the same child. They should be
in close sympathy with each other.
This movement of child study is not for
| the purpose of making original inves-
tigation in the science of P~aedology,
The average parent or teacher can
hardly go SO far as that. Such work We
leave for the expert. But by hearty co,
operation the parent and teacher can
| 70 ithfpNl,y study thu roSttltS Of ,hn ov.
pert's research, and successfully apply
them in their respective fields. AND
as the conditions under which parent
and teacher observe the child are quite
different. and a comparison Of notes
and an interchange of ideas can bui
prove advantageous to each, we cor
daily invite the members of the Moth
ers' club and all others interested il
child study to attend at least the at
~ternoon sessions Of the county teachers
institute, which will open Monday
August 90 and continue for four days
Prof. Merz of the university will Civ,
a talk on this subject every day dur
ing the institute. Such talks will begil
at 3 o'clock and continue twenty min
utes, after which there will be a gen
eral discussion. The topics for dis
cussion are as follows:
Monday, value and Scope of Chill,
Study"
Tuesday, Methods"
Wednesday and Thursday. "Disci
pline at Home and In the School"

LIVERY STABLE BURNED.

The many friends Of R. l.. Thayer
will learn with sincere sorrow of the
misfortune which visited him early Fri
day morning. when his livery stable
at Big Horn was destroyed by fire. en-
failing a complete loss OF the property
as well as of his household goods. The
value of the property destroyed is es-
timated at 81, 200, with no insurance.
and represents all Mr.. Thayer's saw
ings in years of hard toll. We under
stand he had but recently made the last
payment on the property. The origin
of the fire is unknown but there is sup,
posed to be some connection between
it and the presence of a couple of wan
derers who were wooing Morpheus in
the hay loft and were seen to come
tumbling out when the fire was well
under way.-Sheridan New Deal.

THE AMERICAN FLAG IN SWEDEN.

THE AMERICAN FLAG IN SWEDEN.
A story that would be hard to believe
il it did not appear in the Boston
Transcript indicates that Americans
and American emblems are still treat
ed with respect in at least a few parts
OF Europe besides England. 1t seems
that a HolyOke teacher who had been
studying manual training in Sweden
at a point where cars run only twice q
week recently received from home a
letter in a flag envelope. The au-
thorities thought that it was a COM
munication from the United States
government. and Immediately a special
train was made up and took the letter
forty miles to the person for whom II
wal intended. Unfortunately for the
creditbility of this tale, Sweden is a
land OF schools Of intelligence. as well
as OF good will toward the United
States. Still, rural Sweden is very
rural indeed, and the episode may have
really happened. One can hope 80, any
how, for 1t is a very pretty episode,
and a pleasant contrast to a good many
of the reports now coming to us about
the nature OF Trasatfantic sentiment
toward this government--New York

PYTHIANS DID NOT ELECT.
Some OF the Members Under ~Investiga-

Indianapolis, Aug. 25.-The election
OF the oficers of the supreme lodge.
KNIGHTS OF Pythias, did not take place
this morning. 1t is usual to elect Off
Gers the third day OF the biennial ses-
sion, but 1t was objected to because of
the investigations that are now going
on, and one representative insisted that
the election be delayed as it would not
be the proper thing to elect men who
are under investigation.
There were stormy times in the lodge
room this morning. and several appro-
priations that usually went through
either referred or voted down. and there
was q strong determination on the part
Of those opposed to the present supreme
oficers to track close to Pythian laws
in everything. This morning a resolu-
tion was introduced that will cut the
expenses OF the meeting Of the supreme
lodge half in two. and will make this
session the cheapest ever held with so
many representatives.
A resolution requiring reports from
the o6hcers as to supplies furnished.
and declaring that in the future such
purchases must be made by competitive
bids was introduced. An inquiry was

THE NIGER
Pleasant Feature of Camp Life Describ-
ed by a Correspondent.

The Cheyenne Tribune yesterday re-
ceived a very interesting letter from a
members of the Alger light artillery, in
which was described a feature of camp
life that is commendable and at the
same time an evidence of the broad
patriotism and Christian spirit that
animates California people.
There is a society called THE So
ciety of Christian Work" which is dis
tinct from the Red Cross and which has
maintained a hospital tent in the camp
of the Algers ever since the boys went
west When the camp has been moved,
the tent was packed also and reset in
the new locations. Whenever one of
the boys got sick everything possible
has been done for him by the ladies in
charge. one of whom has always been
on duty at the tent. In addition to
hospital supplies the ladies have kept
the boys supplied with ink. pens. paper
and even stamps when necessary, and
The Tribune is given to understand that
all the Alger boys are truly grateful for
the consideration shown them and the
help given them by the ladies of the
Society of Christian Work. There are
a lumber of mothers and wives and
s~weethearts in Cheyenne who also will
add their hearty thanks to the warm
expressions Of the Algers.
The boys are making great progress
IN battery drill and the food furnished
gives no cause for complaint.

The reception rendered Alger by the
Sheridan ladies Wednesday evening
was fairly attended and We believe a
source Of pleasure to all present. The

as the assembly was more anxious to
begin dancing than they we're to shake
the hand of the genial next governor
of Wyoming"as H.A.Coffeen humorous

tory address. The hail was prettily
decorated with a p~rofusion OF flowers,
the ladies OF Sheridan having loaned
their most cherished "posies' for the

The Rand-McNally new Standard
war Atlas is a very timely publication,
which seems to be well planned to an
sWer the questions which people are

OF the world. The maps are in sufficient

the low price at which the atlas is pub
lished, so cents. will make ignorance Of

elected every man. The Stuenenberg-
Afford combination received on an
average % votes. Cash C0ie received
the highest vote on this ticket 50. 1t
is evident that the combination made
"a special fight upon J. w. Reid who
received the lowest vote on the Morris
ticket, ia. This was done no doubt
to rob Mr.. Morris of the effective sup
port of Mr.. Reid in the convention.
The result all over the county is
similar to the result in Lewiston. In
many precincts there was no opposi-

Mr.. Morris will take the solid delega-

The o. II. d n. company has leased
the big warehouse on Snake river
front. This move was promoted by
the railroad competition. The steam
boat company could want this facility
to the public freight traffic for no pur-
pose than TO favor the patrons of the
river line. The farmers may expect
benefits from this transfer. The trans
portation company will undertake to
accommodate the public in every
possible manner. The storage capacity
of the house will be increased To meet
all possible increase of grain that may
seek market here. The house will
be extended according to terms of the
lease to meet ali demands, 1t is also Il
condition of the contract that the
house is to remain public house aud
not be run in the exclusive interest of
the navigation company. 1t is believed
this change will result favorably to the
wheat growers as II will afford facilities
for free competition of wheat buyers.
