An attempt was made, it is said, to

There's no danger Of over production
in the cattle line. About year ago
The Progressive Farmer gave figures
showing that on January 1st, 1892
there were 100000 more cattle than
on January 1st, 1898.
A circular recently issued by the
Secretary of Agriculture shows the
decrease in cattle on January 1st, 1899
since January 15t, 1898, to be 1 12O, 743
head. In addition to this the receipt ts
of beef cattle at the various markets
Of the first twenty eight days in Janu
ary, compared with corresponding
period last year shows a decrease of
68 400, classified as follows:

From these figures, it is apparent
that the beef cattle supply is not equal
to the demand. Besides an increased
demand for beef is expected from our
new territorial possessions and from
Europe. The latest figures we have
been able to get snow that the number

NJ. wolbol sold fifteen head Of COW

NJ. Wolbol sold fifteen head of COWS
to a Laramie man a short time ago,
which he and son, Walter, took to Lar
annie last Sunday, together with TWEEN
ty-three head of beef steers. The lat
ter were shipped to Denver and a TOP
price was received for them.

visited the Gem City lately are Thomas

mic during April, returning TO open
school in the Pollock district May 2.
Mr.. d. p. Smith, who was elected
general manager of the Centennial I'm
ion hall, did not care to take the po-
sition and accordingly, Mr.. Thomas
Bird was elected in his place. Work
was recommended upon the hall, so we
think it soon will be completed.
Mr.. VIM. Baillie, who has been sick
for some time, was taken to Laramie
about a week ago to receive medical
attendance.
Miss Sarah E. Bird, who was also
ON the sick list for a time, has recov-
cred now.
We are sorry to say that an unfor-
fortunate event, the first of the kind
for a number of years, occurred in the
valley the 9Th inst. Some buildings be-
longing to Thomas Bird and occupied
by Mr.. Shines, were burned to the
ground that day. Seven head of fine
horses were burned to death, and moth
ing was saved. The real cause of the
fire is uncertain, as Mr.. Shines was not
at home when the dreadful occurance
took place.

Now Recognized as a Cause of Serious
Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or soul stomach, is a form
of Indigestion resulting from fermenta-
ton of the food. The stomach being
too weak to digest it, the food remains
until fermentation begins, filling the
stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour,
burning taste in the mouth is often
present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
ence is given but little attention. Be-
cause dyspepsia is not Immediately ia
tai, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and is becoming rapidly used and pre-
scribed as a radical cure for every form
of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by all druggists for so cents per pack
age. It is prepared by the F. A. Stuart
Co., Marshall, Mich, and while it
promptly and effectually restores a Wig
orous digestion, at the same time is
perfectly harmless and will not injure
the most delicate stomach, but on the
contrary by giving perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

in the United States and cabled back

is dead.
1t is incomprehensible how these re-

Captain Frederick Watkins, arrived
here this evening before dark, and it
was Immediately reported that Mr..
Sherman was o only alive, but bet

cover.

WASHINGTON STIRRED.
Washington, March 21.-Seldom has
official Washington been completely
stirred by conflicting emotions than it
was today by the announcement, first
of the death of Honorable John Sher-
man, and then by the contradiction of
the report, which came a few hours lat
er, the M giving a relief which was
as marked as was the sorrow produced
by the other.
The first report which came from New
York, was received at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon and was circulated in the de-
partments just before they closed for
the day. The announcement seemed to
follow naturally the other cablegrams
Of the day. stating that the venerable
statesman's condition had grown
worse since yesterday, and there was an
unusual expression of great regret and,
in many cases, of personal distress over
the news. Cabinet members, senators
and members OF house expressed deep
BORROW, speaking LOT only in terms Of
admiration and respect for the ex-sen-
ator's public career, but dwelling low
ing kindness upon his personal charac-
ter.
The contradiction the first report did
not arrive until $3.50 o'clock. It came
to b Associated Press in the shape Of
a positive statement from Santiago,
meade in the knowledge that the report
OF tho senator's death had been circu-
lated.
This dispatch was Immediately given
as wide circulation in the city as it was
possible for it to receive at that hour.
Secretary Hay was placed in possession
of a copy of the dispatch, as were also

SUPREME COURT.
The Assessor Case Was Argued Yes
terday.

There was a special session Of the
state supreme court today for the pur-
pose of hearing arguments in the case
of Charles A. Reals, county treasurer
and eX-officio county assessor, VS..
Dwight P. Smith, the newly appointed
assessor of Albany county. This is the
famous assessor imbroglio which was
certified from judicial district No. 2.
Mr.. Reals gave $1,000 additional bond
as ex-ofiicio assessor and Mr.. Smith also
gave bonds as county assessor under
the new law. The question to be de-
termined is the constitutionality of the
new law. The case was presented to
the supreme court upon an agreed
statement of facts, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Downey of Albany county repre-
scented Mr.. Reals and G. w. Burdick OF
Cheyenne and Corlett Downey of Lara
mie represented Mr.. Smith. Colonel
Downey's argument consumed the fore
noon and the arguments of the defend
ants attorneys took up the greater part
OF the afternoon.
Mr.. Corlett Downey made his first ar
gument before the supreme court and
acquitted himself with much credit.
The young man gives promise of a very
bright future in his chosen profession.
Sun-Leader.
1t was u novel scene in the supreme
court yesterday, when Corlett Downey,
of Laramie, appeared in opposition to
his father. Hon. s. w. Downey, to ar
que the question Of the constitutional
ity Of the law enacted by the last leg
islature providing for the appointment
Of county assessor, says the Chey-
enne Tribune.
Downey, the younger, appeared for
the county, and presented a logical,
we'll studied argument in support Of
the constitutionality OF the law as re-
Gently passed. His father, Colonel
Downey, had previously presented the
question for the county treasurer, Mr..
Reals, and the discussion developed the
fact that there is a very nice point in
volved and that the question is an ex-
ceedingly close one.
The young man is to be congratu-
lated upon his first appearance before
the honorable supreme court and upon
his gentlemanly and unpretentious
ann before that body. He is the
first Wyoming-born boy to be admitted
to practice before this court, and is a
of '95.

tremely rigorous ordeal for a young
mans initial appearance before the SUI

himself in a worthy an older
