STURGEON for some time has been
enjoying substantial building boom
and number of big brick business
houses have been and are now being
erected. A fine Baptist Church is in
course OF construction and DR.. Keith
is building a large and handsome busi-
ness house. The spirit Of enterprise
seems abroad In Sturgeon and the
business portion OF that live town in
no way resembles the Sturgeon OF
four or Ave years ago. No town In
this section has gone through such a
transformation for the better. Ita
citizens are thoroughly wide-awake to
the interests Of their little city, which

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY %. 1899.

Senator Warren, on February 18th.
presented several matters in the senate
for the benefit of the people of Wyo-
ming. The first was the petition of the
legislature of Wyoming praying for the
enactment of legislation to prevent the
dissertation of the national flag. Sec
ond, a petition from the Legislature of
Wyoming praying for legislation pro-
hibiting the sub-letting of mail con-
tracts or star routes. Third, a petition
of the legislature of Wyoming praying
for the appointment of a commission
to treat with the Indians for the pur-
chase of unoccupied lands upon the
Shoshone Indian reservation. Fourth,
a petition of the legislature of Wyo-
ming praying that the rules and regu-
lations governing the forest reserves in
that state be so modified as to allow the
unrestricted grazing of live stock on
surch reservations. Fifth. petitions of
Local Union No. 1874. Typographical
Union, Cheyenne. Wyo.: and of Local
Branch No. sol, Amalgamated Society

has originated the idea of thawing out
frozen water pipes with electricity.
and made two successful experiments.
He takes the electric current used
for street lighting purposes. attaches
one wire to the frozen pipe inside the
cellar Of one house and the other wire
to a similar pipe in an adjoining house.
thus completing the circuit. A current
Of aLout fifty volts is then turned on,
heating the pipes and melting the ice
within.
Prof. Woods plan has been success
fully worked at the residence of ex-
Senator w. F. Villas and Alderman
Brown. At the Villas home $50 feet of
frozen lead pipe was thawed out in IS
minutes. Prof. Wood used a trans
former to reduce the voltage, so that
the current will not melt the pipes.
Thi discovery will obviate the neces-
sity for e~Xcavating. which has always
heretofore been an expensive feature.

Lord Beresford says without inter-
ference from outside, China will be
bankrupt in four years. He advocates
an open door policy for the empire with
a sort of protectorate controlled by
Great Britain, Germany, the United
States and Japan, as the interests OF
those countries are more largely af-
fected than those Of any other nation.
In speaking of the probability Of the
Chinese race, Lord Beresford says:
THE Chinese are a most docile and
honest people. There is not a single
banker il China who will not tell you
a Chinaman's word is as good as a
bond. In their migrations elsewhere
they have been charged with immor-
atty. but this is because they did not
take their women with them. l learn
ed many incidents showing the strict
probity of the Chinese. One merchant
told me of a transaction he had with
a Chinaman involving G25 900 worth
Of silk. There was no written agree
ment, but simply a verbal one. The
purchaser found afterward that he
would lose heavily on the venture, but
he paid the G25, 600. l could tell a
more of similar incidents"

SILVER AS A PRODUCT.

1t is not likely that any other meta
will ever get into politics as promi,
nently as silver did in 1896. The claim;
made for silver were stupendous. II
was accepted by millions as the sole
regulator of commerce, finance and civ
ilization itself. But it has nearly drop
ped into its proper place as n of the
worlds valuable metals. Stripped OF
the fiction with which it has been art
fully surrounded, silver is doing quite
%ell. 1t is not going out of production
or use because the world refuses to ac-
cept 1t at double its real value. 1t has
a present and a future. More fresh sill
yer was added to the worlds supply in
1898 than in any other year except 1892.
The total was 1870, 900, 900 ounces,
against 1S3, 096, O9O in 1897, and 165, 100,-
Ss7 in 1896. The market value was
sos 600, 900. In production the Unit
ed States led last veal with 10000, 900
ounces, Mexico coming next with 3d.
600, 900.
The average price for the year was
IS. 26c per ounce in New York, giving
the silver dollar a value of about Acc.
The highest price in New York last
year was go. CSC, in March. A large in
crease is reported in the use OF silver in
the arts. A moderate demand for the
metal continues In Asia. China. Japan,
India and the Straits settlements took
- $50, 900 ounces from London, 1880

Among the many amusing incidents
which marked the close OF the Fifth
state legislature, perhaps the most not
able was the picture episode. in which
Senator Gross of Converse county play
ed the leading part. With their usual
generosity and pardonable egotism, the
members of the august senate provided
a picture in group for the senate cham
Der and an extra one to be presented
to the Lincoln club. Mr.. Cross. demo-
crat, was chosen to make the presen-
tation to the club. He recited in proper
terms the manner in which the Lincoln
club had entertained him, although a
member of the opposite political party,
and then moved that the picture be
given to the Mckinley one-gallows
club. The motion carried and the Lin
coin club parlors are bare so far as the
big picture is concerned. Alongside the
excellent house picture in the club
rooms there appears the Fifth senate in
miniature. Mr.. Cross generosity and
gratitude are exceeded only by his mis-
chievious ~partisanship.

day. from Cincinnati, or in guarding
his letters from publicity and letter
Of that character was addressed to
him, yesterday. Theoretically a letter
addressed under the circumstances at
tending the KautZ letter may be re
Sarded as strictly private. yet pract-
cally the writer must accept the con-
sequences that would follow the publ
cations.
In the case of Chief Justice Chamb-
ers, whose brother made public letter
criticising the Germans in Samoa. the
effect will certainly be injurious to the
chief justice.
Though the letter undoubtedly was a
private communication. vet the state
department was bound to take notice
of the fact that this publication had
done much to injure the usefulness oi
the chief justice and TO render his re
tention i'm the office after the recon
