SOMETHING TO WORK. FOR.

For many years Mr.. S. w. Gillespie
of Lookout has been carrying on the
successful raising OF oats, using the
old bed of Ione lake for the purpose.
Without the use OF the pillow he has year
after year seeded the same ground to
oats and narrowed it in, and the result
has been unvarying success. This year
on 125 acres, he produced almost 200 900
pounds Of oats, the weight being 43
pounds to tn bushel. Mr.. G%illespie's
success is proof conclusive OF the fact
that the soil Of the Laramie plains can
bountiful yield and without crop fail
ure. There is just one thing hat we
may need in the near future and that
is an additional supply of water. AL
ready the Big Laramie river is entirely
appropriated and there has upon two
or three occasions been a shortage at
Wheatland. Year after year the set
Element of the land between this city
and Sheep and Jelm mountains pro-
ceeds and each settler draws from the
already almost exhausted supply. The
hope of our future prosperity lies main
ly in the construction of large storage
basins for the conservation of the flood
waters Of spring. The Wheatland COM
'pany, known as the Wyoming Develop
mentcompany, is already at work build
ing a large reservoir near the ranch of
Senator John McGill. from which the
water will be taken through a tunnel
and distributed among the farmers Of
that successful community. But this
reservoir will have little beneficial eff
feet uIton the ranchmen of the Lara
mic plains. What they need is a large
reservoir in the upper part Of the val
ley, such as the big basin site. With
this basin full of water all the plains
below could be irrigated from the main
reservoir and all the lands above could
be irrigated from the bitches conduct
ing water thereto. Thus every foot Of
the rich soil Of the plains could be made
to yield a harvest such as Mr.. Gillespie
has been reaping annually and such as
the farmers Of Wheatland are raising.
Every effort should be made by the
people of the Laramie plains and OF this
city to bring about the contamination
Of this much desired result. 1t would
mean not only added population and
wealth to the county at large. but it
would mean the upbuilding Of Laramie,
which would be benefited by the addi-
tlonal market caused by added popula-
ton. prosperity and wealth and by the
magnificent water power the reservoir
would furnish the city. The splendid
start already made by Senators Warren
and Clark and by Mr.. Mondell must be
pressed steadily forward. Let every
citizen do all in his power to strengthen
their hands in their effort TO have the
government take hold Of the project
Of the establishment of western reser-
voirs for the purpose OF holding back
the flood water which is annually de-
vastating the valley OF the lower Mis-
sissippi. While the water is being held
back the people Of the mountains can
use It.

Mckinley Prosperity and Don't You

Mckinley Prosperity and Don't You
Forget It
For the information Of the democratic
unhappy calamity howlers of Wyo-
ming, it may be stated that there is an
abundance of Mckinley prosperity Wis
ible at the railroad shops in Cheyenne.
Mr.. Bay, the foreman of the shops,
said to a Sun-Leader reporter yester-
day, that they are now employing more
men than for many years previous.
The work is increasing every day and
new men are put on as fast as they ap-
ply. A large part Of this force is given
an opportunity to work overtime. In
addition to Mr.. Bays statement, the
local writer of the Sun-Leader yester-
day said:
we are informed by the railroad
officials that the railroad business Is
~livelier today than 1t has been since
1890. Crews have been added at Lara
mic, Cheyenne. Sidney and other points

being promoted to engineers and more
crews being added. The business Of the
road is enormous. which fact is due to
the increasing business all over the
country. AS an oficial said today:
There has been a general revival in all
kinds Of business In the last two years.
and the revival II more noticeable In
the last six months. Railroads have
" experienced such . revival and
the laborers a testify to this fact. 1t
it seldom, indeed, that we are called
upon by men with the request that they
be allowed to let a run go as they are
being overworked. This, however, has
been the case in the last few weeks.
There has not been a time in months
that We could not employ a mar that
was sincere in his desire to work."
This, of course, will be encouraging |

Why They Should Be Defeated
There is no reason under the u to
be advanced for electing a single dem
ocrat to Office this year, either in this
county, state or nation. Every republic
can candidate is we'll fitted for the office
to which he aspires; all are good citi-
zens. capable business men and are
thoroughly in touch with all methods
that will advance the general prosperi-
ty, and they belong to a party which
stands for progress and prosperity. On
the contrary, the democratic candi-
dates, while they are all good men and
good citizens, honest and all that, be-
long to a party whose every action
has always been detrimental to the best
interests Of the whole American people.
Every democratic candidate should be
defeated this fall, because Of the party
to which they belong.-Otto Courier.

Not Wholly to Blame
When We speak Of the ruin and de-
vastation caused in the land under
Cleveland's administration, we do not
mean to lay all the blame on his shoul-
ders. He simply went to work to close
tie factories by free trade legislation
and a democratic congress did all in
their power to shake the confidence of
he people in the money of the country.
Between the two they succeeded in
closing both the banks and the work
shops. Cleveland had the help Of the
democratic party in cutting down the
revenues of the government and throw
ing labor out Of employment, but he re-
fused to help the democrats in break
ing down the commercial credit Of the
nation.-Sun-Leader.

A STORY OF HAMLIN.

Hannibal Hamlin in his own Maine
town, half a century ago, was a gold
democrat, and his party was at al
most as low an ebb as the Maine
Democracy now is. He called T.
caucus to choose delegates to the
Maine conventions-state, county and
congressional. Two persons came:
Hannibal himself aid John Smith,
They elected a full list of DELEGATES.
but when it came to their credentials
difficulty arose. Hamlin was chair
man of the caucus, and Smith secre-
tary; but how was the gathering to
be described? Hamlin said: "Mr. Smith
write: AT a large and respectable
caucus of the democrats of H, So
and-so were chosen delegates to the
state convention, and then put the
names"
But, Squire Hamlin, can we call
this caucus large and respectable, only
you and me?'
why not, Mr.. Smith? You are
large and I am respectable; what's
the diff1culty?" And the credentials
were so made out.

her fortune. Mrs. Rusche was ill
and did not wish to have her future
foretold, offering as an excuse that
she had no money. The gypsy woman
was persistent and contended that she
had lots of money in the house. The
intruder hypnotized Mrs Rusche and
learned from her subject that there
was purse of S140 in bureau drawer.
She took the money and warned the
woman, who by this time was per-
fectly inundated and submissive. not
to say anything about the affair, even
70 her husband. She then left the
house and returned to her camp, and
few days later the gypsy outfit left
that district. This happened several
weeks ago, the wife, who appeared to
labor under some terrible fear of tho
gypsy woman, who had a most Won
derful influence over her, did not tell
her husband Of the incident until
yesterday, when he went to get the
money and found it gone. Then she
told the whole story and Mr.. Rusche
hastened to notify the sheriff and
swear out a warrant for the arrest of
the thief.
The gypsy outfit is now supposed to
be in Montana or Wyoming.-Minn-
eapolis Journal.

cut into two-inch wide strips for the
tTills. The edges OF these strips, to-

UP-TO-DATE ACCESSORIES.
The silk cravats, the tulle neck
ooWs, the lace jabots, and such-like
fai-lals that make charming the toll
cite OF the woman of modes, are very
expensive items to purchase ready
made. A silk cravat can be made by
nimble fingers, with the aid of three
quarters of yard of good glace silk.
With this length of silk joins are
necessary. Either one must be ar
ranged for in the center front, or two
to come beneath the
knot. If the more satisfactory length
of yard and half of silk is bought
lavender blue, rose, scarlet, bright
green and orange are up-to-date col

scarf being exactly that length. From

A handy portable elevator for
raising packages from wagons to the
second story of a building has a sup
porting ladder, carrying a sliding
frame, which is raised and lowered by
derrick, mounted under the ladder.
On adjustable platform being mounted
on the frame, which can be set level
when the ladder is at any angle.
Variable throw-cranks for bicycles
are arranged to slide through sleeves
fixed on the axle, the cank hanger
carrying eccentric disks fitted with
| grooves in which rollers mounted on
the crank work to reciprocate the
crank in the sleeve.
In new grinding mill two fat
trimmed wheels are attached to yertI-
cal shaft which turns the wheels
through V~shaped bed having cir
cular rail at the bottom over which
the wheels run to crush the grain as
it falls from the hopper.
Housekeepers will appreciate new
lciothes drier, which can be used In
the house, and consists of frame
work supporting double row OF
bars, on which the clothes are hung,
the device being suspended from the
ceiling by a rope and pulley, so it can

clothes are hung.
In a recently-patented safety device
i for elevators, two rows of pins are
set in the guideways Of the shaft with
hooks mounted on the elevator to
catch in them as soon as the cable
which supports the elevator breaks
and allows the springs to operate.

TO LOCATE SUiNKEN VESSELS.

A. J. Carson, a commercial traveller
living in Kalamazoo, Mich, has
patented a device to prevent foundered
vessels from being completely lost.
His idea is to place buoy on the deck
of the ship in such a position that
when the vessel sinks the buoy is freed
and stays on the surface. A long rope
made of steel is connected with the
buoy. The rope passes through a
hole in the deck and is would around
a reel in the hold of the ship. This
reel is mounted on ball-bearings and
the hole through which the rope
passes is similarly equipped to prevent
friction and avoid the danger of en-
tangIing. After the vessel reaches the
bottom the buoy will serve as a
means of locating the wreck.
