Uncle had not been considered seri-
ously i'll more than about a fortnight or
so before the end, writes Carlyle's
nephew, John G. Aitkon, in The Allan
tic. The vital spark Of life tOward the
last days kept hickering in a way 20 ex-
traordiuary that the doctor declared he
had never met such teuacitr Of life and
vitality in the whole course Of his varied
London and other experience. Dear
uncle, the good, true and noble old man
that he was, really suffered little in the
way Of pain for some weeks before his
death, which was itself little more than
Il gentle Pickering sleep, ending in a
scarcely beard last sigh of sound.
While lying in a cumatose or uncon-
scious state his mind seemed to wander
back TO old Annuudule memories of his
ever loved ones and their surroundings;
his mother holding her supreme seat,
surrounded hy Il trOoping throng of once
familiar faces not very greatly less dear
to him. He died full Of years, with all
| his weary task of worlds work well
and nuhly done, and leaves no mortal
behind him who does not love and rev.
erenCe his life and memory.

His eXcellency, the governor, has
made no mistake in the recent appoint
dnent of the foul new trustees on u
university board. Judge John Alden
Riner is a federal judge of the district
of Wyoming, and both he and Judge
Melville c. Brown. who was re-appoint-
ed on the board, were prominent mem
bers of the state constitutional owen
ton. the latter serving as the honor
able president of the convention in
1889 during its sessions. Hon. S. Con-
ant Parks, banker and scholar of Lam
der, Fremont county, is an ideal man
for a trustee of the university; he was
educated abroad and has the distinc-
ton Of having won a Phi. d. from the
German university at Halle. During
the year 1894 he was a lecturer at our
university. Mr.. n. S. Bristol. the
fourth appointee, is a successful bust
ness mar of Casper, Natrona county.
They are all men of affairs of large
faith, who have long since cast in their
lot with Wyoming; their moneyed in
terests are here, they are men with
families and believe in education and
will have the highest interests of our
university at heart. And with the new
governor OF Wyoming thoroughly in
sympathy with all that pertains TO
higher education, as he is, it would
seem as though our University of Wyo-
ming is about to take on a new lease
of life.-Wyoming Student.

A DRAMATIC CLIMAX.
h Eject of One Womnn's Pnthcti
Eyes on II Jury.

"e" u" Jury
That JurIes are affected by handsome
and languishing eyes is proved by a re-
markable experience of the greatest adj
vocate at the New York bar, the late
James L. Brady. He was counsel for a
young woman in a case involving an
attempt to break a will.
His client sat by his side. She was a
very beautiful young woman whose
eyes seemed always to rivet the alton

THE WEAPON OF SCIENCE.

Any disease may be deadly enough
when you have no adequate means
at hand to confront it. Plenty of peo-
pie die every day of durable diseases,
simply because the stereotypcd, routine,
scns2lcss methods and remedies usually
employed are not halfway equal to the
occasion.
But when a truly scientific remedy like
DR.. Pierce's great Golden Medical Dis
COvCry" is brought to bear upon the
complaints which it is designed to cure,
it penetrates the tough hidc-bound artnor
of obstinate disease with the same I'M
crring accuracy and power with which a
modern rifle penetrates 4 savage shield.
II had been doctoring and using patent medi-
cine for about n year and n half, being unable TO
work most of the tSne," says John T.. Cough
enOur, Esq, OF GleuSavage, Somerset Co., Pa.
THO doctor said | had heart disease and indi-
gcslion. It began with n choking and oppressed
feeling in the chest. ! seemed to be raw from
my throat clear down into my stomach. NV
appetite was usually poor. and l was rs weak
and nervous as though | had been starved out
for months. My heart kept throbbing contin-
tally and l was short of breath.
"lludlly ] wrote to DIR. X. Y. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. y, for advice and he informed me that | had
indigestion and torpid liver. 1 did not think
hat diagnosis was right. but ! ordered six bot
dies of Dr., Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery
and began its use. Afer using three bottles I
began to improve slowly and soon went to work;
and have been working ever since"
For obstinate constipation DR.. Pierce's
Plcasau- Pellets are the most perfect
medicine ever devised. They give
prompt, comfortable, permanent relief.

The Denver News solicitude con-
corning Fish Commissioner Campbell
is very touching. Mr.. Campbell became
a resident of Wyoming about the same
time that the editor of the Wyoming
department of the News Carpet-bagged
it in from Kentucky and he has made
his home here ever since. What's more,
he is likely to remain here after some
of his caluminators have found the
grass very short.

The many friends of Curtis L. Hinkl

The many friends of Curtis l. Hinkle
will rejoice at his appointment to the
position of clerk of the state land
board. During his long residence in
Wyoming he has made a legion OF
friends, all of whom urged the execu-
tive to give his application for place
favorable consideration. Mr.. Hinkle
has served the state with distinction
as a member of the legislature, has
married one of Wyoming's fairest
daughters and is a mar of honor and
integrity.

In the race for county assessor may

only care about the matter is that a
man with a stiff backbone and strict in

concerning which they wrote. A
great many of the statements in the
book in question regarding Sundance
and CrooR county, if they should be
needed by honest investors seeking le-
g.timate enterprises, will work to the
detriment of this country and tend to
keep our real and possibili-

if a wiser and more honest course had
been pursued in the early days of
Crook county our true resources would

This is an evil which has crept IN

begin to overflow, a movement to put

panied by an effort to create n high
school department. not so much the

dream of some principal who would be
superintendent or some sort of central

This dream is too easily realized, be-
cause it ~tlatters the people. Then there

A shut in, penitentiarylike place has
been evolved by the architect and school
committee, gratifying to their pride
