s.Teddy" Cannot Accept n Nomination
from the INDEPENDENTS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Theodore Roose-
welt tonight issued a statement in which
he declined to accept any nomination the
Independents might offer him. 1t would be
an injustice to mis- associates, he said. The
statement, in the form of letter to John
j. Chapman, follows:
II hesitate to write you while the 1nde-
pendent nomination has not been formally
offered me, but am now receiving so many
questions as to my intentions in the matter
that / am not willing to wait longer My
name will probably be presented for Gov
ernor at the Republican State convention
at Saratoga on the 9th. If 1 am nominated
it will be on the same ticket with those
who are named for the other State offices.
The Republican party will also have con-
gressional and legislative tickets in the
field. National issues are paramount this
year very few municipal officers are to be
elected. The candidates will be my asso-
ciates in the general effort to elect a Re-
publican Governor, Republican congressman
who will support President Mckinley and
the cause of sound money and a Legislature
which will send to the Senate a Republican
United States Senator. 1t seems to me that
/ would not be acting in good faith towards
my fellow-candidateS If / permitted my
name to head a ticket designed for their
overthrow a ticket, moreover, which cannot
be put up because of objections to the char
acter or fairness of any candidate mas
much as no candidates have yet been nomi-
mated.
II write this with great reluctance for /
wish the support OF every Independent If
elected Governor 1 shall strive to serve the
State as whole and TO serve my party
by helping ii serve the State. l should
greatly like the aid of the Independents
and l appreciate the Importance OF the in
dependent vote, but cannot accept nomi-
nation on terms that would make me feel
disloyal to the principles for which l stand
or at the cost of acting with what seems
to be bad faith towards my associates.
Again expressing my hearty appreciation
OF the honor you wish to confer upon me
and my regret that 1t comes in such shape

FOUR BOXES DID 1T
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months or
years from the pains and inconvenience of
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skepticism upon the claims of the makers
of the new discovery for cure of all forms of
piles, known under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such as
to warrant the investigation of any sufferer.
AS case in point the following letter
speaks for itself.
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of substation No. 8,
Hosack avenue, Columbus, o., writes as
follows:
Pyramid Drug Company:
Gentlemen want you to use my name
If 1t will be of any use to you. l was so bad
with the piles that 1 lost work on that ac-
count. Nothing did me any good. read
in Cincinnati of the many cures of piles by
the Pyramid Pile Cure. and 1 went to a
drug store and asked for it. The drug clerk
told me that he had something else that he
thought was better. but 1 told him that
wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that I
tried another. and then to complete the cure
used two more boxes, making four in all. 1
am now completely cured. Have not a trace
of piles, and 1 had suffered for four years
with the worst form of protruding piles.
I suffered death from piles, but l have
found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be just as
represented. l have recommended it to sew
eral of my friends, and am thankful to be
able to write you what good the remedy has
done for me.
Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure because it contains no opium, cocaine
or mineral poison of any kind, and because
it is so safe and pleasant to use, being pain
less and applied at night. The patient is
cured in a surprisingly short time, with no
inconvenience whatever
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug
gists at so cents per package, and if there is
any constipation 1t is well TO use the Pyra-
Cure, as constipation is very often the cause
of piles, and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition. Price of pills is 70 cents
per package.
Write to Pyramid Drug Company Mar
shall, Mich, for little book on cause and
cure of piles; sent by mail free.

UNEXPLAINED TRAGEDY.
w. j. Haldeman's Motive for Shooting
j. c. Richardson Unknown.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 24.-Ex-State Sem
ator ]. c. Richardson, president of the Halde-
man Paper Company, who was shot yester-
day by his brother-in-law, w. ]. Halde-
man, in his office at Lockland, is still alive,
but his age is cause for fear that he may
not endure the shock of the wounds. The
marshal of Glendale took Mr.. Haldeman
into custody at his home at Glendale to-
day. The affair causes intense feeling on
account of the close social and business re-
lationship of the parties and of their high
social position. They occupy palatial homes
In Glendale. and are among the best known
business men of the county. 1t is difficult
TO find an adequate motive for the shooting.
The men were alone in their office when the
shooting occurred. The victim declines to
assign any cause. His son. however says
there had been a clash in the morning over
the alleged neglect of Haldeman with refer
cree TO a car of paper, but they afterward
discussed business together. 1t was 3
o'clock in the afternoon when Haldeman
returned from the bank and the shooting
occurred

Colonel Roosevelt left tonight for his
home in Oyster Bay. Before his departure
he said that he had given out no statement
regarding his citizenship in new York State
for the reason that he had been unable to
see Elhu Root. who has all the papers, in
Guiding copies of his correspondence with
his counsel. relating to the tax matter. His
correspondence, he said would show that he
intended to give up his residence in this
city. but not in Oyster Bay, only in order
to avoid being compelled TO pay taxes in
both places. He stated further, that as Mr.
Root is a delegate to the State convention.
that gentleman may wish to lay the papers
before the convention rather than make a
public statement at the present time.

NEW ARMY POST.
Army Officers Go to Sheridan to Sc
lect a Site.

a regimental military post, to be gar
risoned. probably, by two companies OF
the T~wenty-tifth infantry. will un-
doubedtly be established at or neal the
town of Sheridan. Wyo.. within the
next few weeks, says the Denver News.
General Summer passed through the
city yesterday morning en- route to the
town named. for the purpose OF Sc
Letting a suitable site for the fort. With
him were General Henderson. solicitor
Of the Burlington, and Captain w. H.
Beck. inspector general of the depart
ment of the Missouri. The new sta
ton will be about eighty-fve miles
south of the Crow reservation in Mon
tana.
Fort Custer was recently abandoned
by reason Of the location being I'M
healthy. 1t was situated in the heart
of the reservation. The nearest post
to the Indian grounds at this time is
Fort Keogh. Mont, some 200 miles
northeast. Fort Washable, Wyo., is
over 300 miles away. There is a vast
stretch of country between the Crow
and the Wind River reservations which
will be patroled by the new government
settlers.
The Crow agency is near the boundary
line between Montana inc Wyoming
and has an agency in charge Of J. w.
Watson, first lieutenant of the Tenth
cavalry. In 1895 the agents annual re-
port stated that there was a total pop
ulation on the reservation of 2.133, Of
which CTS were grown male Indians.
The industries are agriculture, stock
bitches. In 1895 the Indians raised
! $50. 900 pounds Of oats. 300 900 pounds
of wheat. 10000 pounds of corn and
0 O,OOO pounds of potatoes. In that
year also, the Crows had IL, 900 head
of cattle, which number has been in
creased considerably. The reservation
has a government school and two mis-
sion contract schools, all doing good
work. This department (Colorado) has
in area 522,3S5 square miles, Of which
SO $40 square miles are in Indian reser-
vations. The Indian population. ac-
cordiDg to the last report. is 53.117.
The post to be established at Sheri-
dan vii be garrisoned at first by two
companies Of infantry. so it is said. but
in a few months the fort will be occu-
pied by a full regiment OF twelve COM
panies.

A NICE COMPLIMENT

The following item, taken from a
Chicago paper, will be of interest to
many Laramie people. as the gentle
man referred to in it is Mr.. Fred
Fischer. son of Mr.. George Fischer OF
this city. Mr.. Fischer left Laramie
several years ago to take up his resi-
dence in Chicago and has gained quite
a reputation as a vocalist, as the fol-
lowing will show:
Last nights meeting at the
Baptist church was we'll at
tended for a wet Monday night, and
the service was impressive and full of
promise. The song service was in
spring. for Mr.. Fischer has a way OF
getting people to sing. After the
scripture lesson and prayer he sang
My Name in Mothers Prayer He
reached the heart with his singing, for
he sings from his heart. At the close
of the evenings discourse Mr.. Fischer
sang O impressively No Hope in
Jesus"

The atmospheric Clock.

The atmospheric clock-a sort Of de-
vice that goes Of itself-is not inaptly
termed a perpetual hourRlass. In up.
pearance 1t is like IL long thermometer
with the bulb Of mercury at the bot
tom. The glass tube is about three
eighths Of an inch in diameter and se-
cured to the frame by two bands through
which it passes easily. The divisions Of
time are marked Oh each side Of the
tube. Inside the glass tube is a smaller
tube shaped very much as an ~hourglass.
Some mercury and u scrap of blotting
paper for the purpose of taking up any
moisture that might gather in the tube
are placed at each end.
The mercury in the top end Of the
tube is placed opposite the mark Of the
proper time and falls to the bottom Of
the tube exactly as the time passes.
When it has run out from the top, the
frame can be turned and the mercury
set to time III the other side. Thus it
registers the seconds and hours quite as
accurately us my other timepiece-the
drawback to such an arrangement being,
of course, the turning of the frame, q
task as irksome as that Of winding .

"In marking a ballot. any elector
shall be at liberty to use or copy any
unofficial sample ballot which he may
choose to mark or have marked pre-
vious to entering the polling place or
booth. but no elector shall be at liberty
to use. and no person shall print, have
printed. or have in his possession. any
unofficial or sample ballot. unless the
the same is printed on red. yellow or
blue paper, and is plainly marked at
the top thereof Sample Ballot"
After carefully reading the above in
structions, the best plan is to go to the
polls and put your cross in the square
over the republican ticket. This will
insure the election of good men and
no mistake will be made.

In the Militar Wochenhlatt, a leading
German military organ. Herr Won Ploctz
recommends horse racing as Il panucea
for socialism. He says that the reason
why there is no socialism in England is
that they encourage horse racing there
and that "the love of the sport is the
connecting link between all classes Of
men, enabling tho poor to comprehend
the necessity for difference of fortune"
Following out Heir Ploetz's idea, it
is said that gambling on horse racing is
increasing in Germany ut a tremendous
rate, though so far no diminution of
socialism has been noticed.
