Drowned in Wyoming.

The particulars of the drowning OF
the two boys Richard Il, James and
Lorin Holman NJ Kemmerer, Wyo., is
thus given il the Camera OF Friday,
May l..
On Wednesday morning while
Thomas Mehan, driver of the delivery
wagon Of Il. \. Keenan,, was starting
on a trip TO North kemmercr, Lorin
Holman and Dick James jumped into
the wagon for 4 ride. AS was his GUS
tom, Tom drove to the river and began
TO ford 1t just below the bridge in
order TO let the horses drink, The
river had raised considerably during
the night, but not thinking its condi-
ton nj all dangerous, he urged the
team into the swift current with the
expectation of reaching the opposite
bank in safety. When in the center
of the stream the horses were carried
of their feet and in endeav oring to
swim upset the wagon and threw out
the occupants.
MIR. Mehan instantly took in the sit
uatiop and used every effort to save
Dick, who was nearest him when the
wagon overturned, but to no avail.
His heavy clothing became water
soaked and he sank with the boy in
his grasp, and only loosencd his hold
to save himself when he saw there was
no hope of reScuing the lad.
Both boys tloatcd for some little
distance before they sank, and had
assistance been at hand they could
undoubtedly have been saved.
a searching party with boat eX-
amined the river for several hours in
the vicinity of the accident, but dis
covered nothing. At length, j l..
Ewing and +. Sway2c, who were man
ming the boat, decided to drift down
the stream and examine the cddies
and turns, but on reaching the railroad
bridge the swift current dashed the
boat against the piers and wrecked it,
the occupants barely escaping with
their lives.
structiou OF another boat, and active
search for the balance of the day was
deferred until It's completion.
On the following morning the body
of Dick James was recovered 10y two
Austrians who found it in II clump of
willows Il short distance below the
foot bridge. The remains were taken
to the undertaking parlors of Frank
Curtis and there prepared for burial
Although searching parties have
been at work since the accident, and
liberal rewards offered by Mayor
Keenan, and others, the body of lorin
Holman has as yet not been recovered.
The rapid rising of the river will be
a great impeachment to their success.
Dick James was the Youngest son of
MIR. and Mrs. +. II. James, and was
born in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, and
would have boon T. years of age
September g. 1899
Both boys were bright and manly
fellows and loved 10y all who knew
them. Their sad and sudden demise
has cast gloom over the entire COM
munity, which will take some time to

VIM. and Thos. Swinbank captur-
ed four young wolves by digging
them out of their den on the Drybone,
west of this city last week. That is
a more profitable kind of mining
than digging for lead ore.
Under the new law the state pays a
bounty of three dollars for every
wolf killed and the county where the
animal is killed will pay an equal
amount. The county board may in
crease its bounty to five dollars.
The law in reference to killing
song birds is violated very frequently
in this city by a number of boys.
Last week boy killed an oriole that
had a nest in a neighboring tree. If
the law was enforced as it should be
such offences would cease. 1t is all
right enough to kill the sparrows,
but the song birds should be protect
ed. We understand that several
parties in this city have agreed to
make complaint and prosecute any
person found killing song birds here.

would be an express train due at 4
o'clock that afternoon. The English
man was on time With his grip. etc,
and so was the express train. The in
tending passenger watched it approach
and thunder by the station at top
speed. The traveller was annoyed, and
turning to colored man who stood
near remarked: Tibet train didn't
stop" mo, sir" replied the coiored
citizen cheerfully, "didn'tcvn hes tate"
A teacher in Il primary school recent

the reply. And why do YOU have three

BRYCE OF ENGLAND.
SIDELIOHTS ON THE GREAT
BRITISH ECONOMIST.
His Writings Have Attracted Wider
Attention Than Those of Any other
Engiishman, Living or Dead - His
American Commonwealth"

James Bryce, the great British au-
thor, scarcely needs any introduction
to American readers. His American
Commonwealth" is the best and most
popular book or American institutions
issued since the famous work of De
To~cqueville. He is one of the foremost
men in the British empire today, and
has had a long and brilliant public
career. He is a native of Glasgow,
Scotland, and a graduate Of University
College, Oxford, where he won many
prizes n other class honors. He
served for 4 number of years as regius
professor of civil law at Oxford uni
versity, resigning this post in 1893.
Mr.. Bryce was first elected to parlia-
ment in 1880, as Liberal member for
Tower Hamlets, and has since been
continuously prominent in various
high government offices. He was ap-
pointed under secretary of state in Mr..
Gladstone's government of 1886, and
later was a member of the Rosebery
cabinet, serving as president of the
board of trade. In politics Mr.. Bryce
is a Liberal, and has been the cham
pion of many important measures, such
as home rule, international copyright,
the abolition of university tests, and
the protection of the Christian subjects
Of the sultan. He has also distinguish
ed himself for his advocacy of a teach
ing university in London, and the set
Element of trade disputes by public ar
bitration. In his public service, as
in his literary work, Mr.. Bryce has
adopted the wise and moderate course
which has earned for him the profound
respect even of his opponents. In the
field of literature Mr.. Bryce has made
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1899-05-20

for himself an immortal name. His
first great work, the Holy Roman En-
pre-" has become a classic, and has
been translated into nearly every Eu-
ropean language. Other notable pro-
auctions are his 1.-TWO Centuries of IT.
ish History" "The American Common
wealth." and Impressions of South At
rica," the latter issued a year ago. Mr..
Bryce is also a frequent contributor to
the leading English and American re-
views. He is specially gifted as a
writer on great international questions
and his views on such subjects are al
ways received with profound attention
everywhere He has a clear, incisive
and vigorous style, and is original, in
dependent and progressive in his ideas
and opinions. He has always been
friendly and sympathetic toward this
country, though a keen, just and dis
eliminating critic. 1t is not too much
to say that no living writer outside of
America is more competent than Mr..
Bryce to discuss the living issues of
the day in a broad and masterful way
and from a point of view that will CON-
mand the attention of the American
public. Bryce is an ardent supporter
of the principle of bimetallism.

HER VALENTINE E..
The Lady of France in Olden Times
Chose Him for One Year.

Tho Lady of France in OIden Times
Chose Him for One Year.
Chicago Times-Herald: For many
years it was the habit of the gay pleas
ure-seekers of France, men and women,
to enroll themselves in companies COM
posed Of valentines. Every 18th of
February they would assemble in the
center of the town. Here, two by two
"a lady and gentleman riding to-
gether), they would make the circuit of
the neighborhood or horseback. The
procession would generally be led by
Cupid, Mercy, Loyalty and Chastity,
attended by trumpeters, b~anner-bear-
ers and a crowd of persons, young and
old. Usually the procession would re-
turn to the town hall, where, in a
rather sacrilegious fashion, the VAL
entines worshiped Love in a mass.
Then each pair kissed and went their
separate ways, for each was now to
choose a new valentine. The names Of
all the gentlemen present, written on
slips of parchment, were low drawn
by the ladies from a casket. Thus each
lady received a new mate for the COM
ing year. Each gentleman was bound
by Ews, which were read aloud to the
whole company, to be faithful to the
lady who had chosen him for a twelve
month, He was to supply her with
flowers, to make her stated presents,
to act as her escort whenever she
wished, to compose songs in her honor.

GERMS IN PHONES.
Dangers That Lurk in TransmItters and
Receivers.


The telephone receivers, transmit
ters and tubes in the offices Of the
health department are being cleaned
daily, by order of DR.. Jones, as a
means of killing disease germs that
often collect on the instruments by
reason Of persons breathing upon
them. DR.. Jones advises the frequent
s%crubbing of telephone receivers, es-
pecially speaking tubes and public tel
ephones, as he has no doubt hat they
may act as disseminators of disease
germs. DR.. Schede, an expert chemist,
of New York, has scientifically dem
onstrated that telephones do harbor
disease germs. His investigation was
confined to telephone transmitters,
which he washed with an atomizer
containing two parts of alcohol, one
part of ether and one-half pint of glyc-
crime. The germs and foreign sub
stances were found in the glycerine
after the alcohol had been e~vaporated.
He found germs of consumption,
smallpox, scarlet fever and grip, and
other bacteria were found with po-
tato starch, decaying meat and decom-
posing cheese, which served as a
nourishment for the disease germs.
