The Khedive's unfortunate illness has
robbed London of much of the expected
festivities and in some respects has made
the visit somewhat of a fizzle. Some such
stimulus to trade is badly needed, as, in
spite of the efforts of the royalties, the
season is dull in the extreme.

Kumassi still awaits RELIEF. Governor
Hodgson is expected to hold out, but after
the siege ends little can be done to subdu
the natives until the rains are over. In De-
cember a punitive expedition. with a corps
of white troops, will probably be sent. The
mortality among the officers of Colonel
Willcock's staff shows how useless il would
be TO send man. white troops until then.

DON'T LIKE THE KLoNDIKE.
A Returned Prospector Drops $1ooo
and is Glad to get out-Meets an
Old Friend in time of Need.

Thomas j. Bishop, an old
acquaintance and friend of j. F.
Rose, arrived here a few days ago
and is stopping with Mr.. Rose.
Mr.. Bishop left Kansas City last
May with $1,000. He arrived here
penpiless. He says that the
Klondike country is over-rated
and a mighty good place to stay
away from. He says the country
is overrun with poor men and
that the class of people there
make it dangerous to ones life
and comfort to remain there. He
landed at Seattle without a cent,
yet he said it was the happiest
day of his life to think that he
was at last safe out of the Klon-
dixie. He worked his way to Raw
Inns, his destination being the
Battle Lake copper mines. From
Rawlins he walked out to Jack
creek and went to Roses house
to ask for a nights lodging. I'M
agine his delight to meet an old
friend at the door-one whom he
had not seen for Is years-and re-
ceive an instant recognition and
a hearty welcome. Mr.. Bishop
will remain with Mr.. Rose Tor
the present.

A Cow and a Dog are InseparabIe in
Their Friendship-Constantly to-
gether in the Fields and on
the Range.

MI. Buchanan, a citizen of Sar-
atoga, owns a black COW, likewise
a small black and tan dog. There
is a strange companionship be
tween the two for they are to be
seen together constantly. Wheth-
er the COW cares for the dog or not
it is hard to tell as she refuses to
make any response when inter
viewed. But that the dog dotes
on the COW is evident by the fact
that it is constantly with her, no
matter where she may go. The
dog starts out with the COW in her
wanderings in the morning and
remains with her until she either
comes, or is driven, home at night.
He has constituted himself her
guardian and the care he takes of
her is rather amusing, when the
difference in size is considered. 1t
matters not how cold the day may
be, nor how far the COW may wan
der in her search for food, there is
to be seer the little black and tan
close to her heels. If the COW
fords the river, in goes the dog
with her. He will allow no one
to go near her except her owners
and he fills the air with a parox-
ysm of barking if one ventures too
near. He banks to the COW in a
confidential manner as they go
along and seems to thoroughly en-
JOY her company as well AS his of
fee of protector to his four footed
friend.

the Mining Laws of Wyoming and

with the regulations of the Gen

offers the pamphlet for sale at the
price of 40 cents, postpaid to any

A PLEASANT SMOKER.
Members of Camp No .6o46M odern Wood
men of America, Entertain Their
Friends in the Masonic Hall
Monday night. Cigars, Cards
and a Delicious Lunch.

The members Of Camp No.
6046, Modern Woodmen of Ameri-
ca, are good fellows. So say the
thirty or forty of Saratoga citi-
zens, who enjoyed their hospital
ity at a smoker, given in Masonic
hall Monday night. About s
o'clock, p. M, the hall, which was
brilliantly lighted, began to fill
with the members of the order
and their invited guests. Small
tables had been provided, and
around each a quartet of men
gathered. and were soon deep in
the mysteries of whist, high five
or some other favorite game of
cards. Cigars were passed around
and soon the air was blue with
tobacco smoke and the men were
in their element. A gramophone
had been procured and furnished
music and amusement for the N
tire company. AT the hour of ten
an appetizing lunch of ham sand
witches, coffee and tea was served,
with a side dressing of apples and
candy. Then came more cigars
and more blue smoke.
AT II o'clock the company be-
gan to depart, and there was not
one in the entire assembly that
did not feel that he had had one
of the most delightfully."- sociable
times that he had ever experien-
ed in his life, and earnestly hoped
that he might have the opportun-
ity of attending every smoker Civ

May Have to Consult a Specialist.

Billy Weber, one of the men
hurt in the explosion in the Big
creek copper mine, some weeks
ago, will probably be taken to
Denver shortly to have mis- eyes
examined by a specialist. One of
his eyes is all right, but the other
one is very weak and gives evil
dence of some injury to the ball
which will need attention from
some one especially skilled in that
branch of the profession.

Weber, is doing finely and viii

BATH HOUSE IMPROVEMENT.
New Po~rcelain-lined Tubs, Comfortable
Sofas and Large Easy Chairs to
Be Provided.

We have been shown a number
of large porcelain-lined bath tubs
which are Don to be placed in
position in the Hot Springs bath
house by Robert Dyer, who has
charge of that branch of the Hot
Springs hotel property. These
tubs are intended to replace the
old woodentub that have done SER
vice in the bath house for so many
years. They will be in glaring
contrast to their predecessors, in
that they will be roomy and al
ways present a spotlessly clean
front to the bather, whereas the
old wooden tubs, while probably
always clean, looked like they
had been made from timber taken
from the Mayhower. and were
just recovering from an attack OF
typhoid fever.
The floors are also to be covered

W. H. Johnston returned Mon
day from Doggett where he had
been to visit his children who now
live with their grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Morgan. Mr.. John
ston says Bert, the little four-year
old boy who was poisoned at the
same time his mother was, is be-
ginning to recover the use of his
lower limbs and can walk around
He also has a good appetite and
is in a fair way to soon entirely
recover from the effects of the poi
son. Mr.. Johnston says they are
now quite certain that the poison
came from sulphur matches drop

Jack Johnston and A. r. Couz-
ems are making preparations to
start a lumber yard in Saratoga at
an early date. They will keep
everything on hands required for
the construction of buildings, such
as flooring, siding, doors and win
dows, lath, shingles, compo board,
corrugated iron, lime, plaster and
cement, in fact a full line of every
thing needed in that business.
People who contemplate building
will appreciate this piece of infor-
nation, for heretofore it has been
almost impossible to obtain such
supplies short of Cheyenne OF

HORACE GREELY'S
HANDWRITING.
A Specimen of it in the Possession of
H. G. Wilcox.-Looks Like a lot
of Fish Worms After They
Had Lain in the Sun
for an Hour.

Fl. G.. Wilcox has in his posses
sion a letter written by Horace
Greedy to his father, H. l.. Wilcox,
dated April 18th, 1870, which is a
curiosity as well as a rare speci.
men of that eccentric gentlenan's
chirography. There seems to be
absolutely no rule by which one
can cipher out its contents, as
each letter is made in an indie
pendent fashion in each word, and
at each time it is used. A few of
the words are decipherable, but
only a few, and its contents are
known by a translation which ac-
companies it. The letter is writ
ton on common note paper, which
has the printed heading of the
Now York Tribune on it, so famil-
lar to the readers of that paper for
the past so years. There is not a
youngster in all this land, who
can write in the most rudimen
tary fashion, but what can pro-
luce a more perfect specimen of
letter writing than this relic Of
that great man.

Leslie Mel Donald Dead.

From a private letter received
here a few days ago, from Rev. P.
G. Mcdonald we learu of the
death of Leslie, his fourteen year
old son, whom our people will re-
member. Mr.. Mcdonald and his
family, who lived in the Saratoga
valley for a number of years, o
ed to Walnut, Ills, about five
years ago. Within the past few
years Mr.. Mcdonald purchased
some property atGreely, Neb., and
was living there ut the time of his
-sors death, which took place on
the Bird inst. The body was taken
back to Walnut, Ills. where MI.
Mcdonald says they will remain
the rest of their lives. The letter
did not say what had caused Les
lies death, but it is presumed to
have been consumption, as he
was troubled with weak lungs
when first brought to Wyoming
bnt seemed to grow strong and
we'll while here. The daughter.
Dolly, was married to Prof. A. III
Peterson, at Princeton, ILL.,, Oh

Inns have been here for the past
week, visiting Mrs. Abbotts par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Maxfield, and
other friends.
The Hot Springs hotel looks
bright and attractive in its new
coat of white paint fresh from the
brush of E. F. Harvey and men.
The absence of paint on that
building, for the past ten or
twelve years, has made it doubly
conspicuous in it's prominent posi-
ton. We predict that there are
better times in store for the
Hot Springs hotel and that, too,
in the very near future.

Steele Saturday, says it is his in
tention to start a drug store at
that place in a few days. The
goods have been ordered and are
probably on the ground at this
time. The log building, just east
of the old grout store building,
now occupied by Frank Hewitt as
a salc,n, has been secured and is
being fitted up for the reception
of the drug stock. DR.. Perdu, Of
