There was a lull in the days busi-
ness. Two Of the downtown BARRIERS
assistants were watching the street
from their basement window, the two
pairs of eyes gazing ~fervently up from
the actual asphalt level. Another as
sistant read a forlorn looking news
paper. Only the boss barber was oc-
cupied with a customer, and this in
%dividual, gazing ~ceilingward through
luxurious lather, became aware of con
v%ersation in the room which was no.

distinct treble quality to the muir

when shaved n returned to an up

side it appeared the square shoulder

Just beyond could be seen the mods

The Basutos inhabit an irregular and
~oyal-shaped country in the northeast
of Cape Colony, the area of which Is
about 10, 293 square miles. 1t is a well
watered country, with a delightful eli
mate and a soil which is adapted for
producing grain. Meadow land. also,
abounds. and large herds of cattle add
much to the wealth of the natives. The
capital is Maseru. and therein six hun
dred Basutos and thirty Europeans
find homes. European settlement is
prohibited throughout the country and
therefore the white population has re-
NAMED for some years practically lin
tied to the few foreigners who trade in
wheat, mealies and corn.

Bits Idea of It

Bits Idea of 1t
OF all the cases of worse than wasted
energy that have come under my OBJ
servation since | have been on earth
this time, the recent state prohibition
convention at Cheyenne acquires the
cookie. Prohibition is all right for
prohibitionists, and no one has any
right to quarrel with man or woman be-
cause they choose to abstain from drink
of any sort. But the average prohibit
zionist isn't satisfied with teaching his
doctrine Of abstinence by precept and
example, but insists on using a club in
the form Of legal authority. To my
mind he might as well denne by stat
ute what We shall eat and what we
shall wear-prohibit the manufacture
of guns with which people commit MUIR
der, and put a stop to the compound
ing of Rough on Rats and like poisons
with which people occasionally put on
immortality, and all that sort of thing.
But in any event, prohibition is a dead
letter in Wyoming-people here know
what the word liberty means and be-
lieve that every man and every woman
is his or her own boss-hence there is
absolutely no excuse for holding a
state convention and placing candidates
in nomination representing that policy.
1t is worse than time wasted, and it
serves only to give the unbeliever leave
to assert that those who originated and
carried out the gathering simply seek
notoriety, and IN opportunity to pose
before the public as little gods and god
desses. At the convention" Mrs. May
Preston S~losson, Of Laramie, "a nom
mated as the Prohibition candidate for
congress. Mrs. Slosson is a good wo-
man. a talented Christian lady, and an
active worker in the cause of temper
ance, Christianity and charity. But she
is not a crank. In a signed communica-
ton to The Laramie Republican she
says: my name having been used
without my consent or knowledge by
the prohibition convention just held in
Cheyenne, l beg the favor of space in
your paper in which to state hat I am
not a candidate for any office on any
ticket; that l emphatically decline the

NOT READY TO GIVE UP.
Populist Nominee Expects to be En-
dorsed at Kansas City.

-
Duluth, Mimi, June 25.-Charles A.
Towne takes exception to the inference
drawn from a dispatch from Austin.
Tex, yesterday that he would withdraw
from the vice presidential race if not
nominated at Kansas City. He says
he expects to receive the nomination.
The dispatch quoted refers to an ex-
tract from a letter written by Mr..
Towne to Major Walton of Austin, in
which he said: my friends know that
no personal consideration would in
fuence ME to stand in the way of sue
cess of the party for which we are con-
tending"
Mr.. Towne said tonight that there
was nothing in the letter upon which
an intimation of his course as to the
vice presidency could be based.
"You may say, however," continued
Mr.. Towne. that I expect to be nomi-
mated for vice president at Kansas City
and I have more support at present
for the nomination than any other man,
although in some sections of the east
there seems to be objection to a west
ern man for the place. Some Of the
people down there cannot get rid Of
the old idea that the United States
does not extend beyond the Allegheny
mountains. If, however, I am not nom
mated by the democratic convention, I
am not prepared to say what action
I shall take and will not decide until
that time comes"

Boston has been through some de-
cidedly unsatisfactory experiments in
municipal ownership under the Read of
Josiah Quincy, recently mayor for sew
eral terms. The plan was to abolish
the contract system and have the work
performed direct by city employees.
This method was applied to streets and
sewers and the labor Of mechanics. A
municipal printing office and ice plant
were established. In every case the
cost was immensely increased. For
one job of electrical equipment the city
paid more than double the former rates.
Municipal artificial ice cost $50 a ton.
The municipal printing Office caused a
scandal by it's original cost and its
operations resulted in constant loss.
Under the new mayor s%uperluous men
have been dropped, with an annual saw
ing in salaries Of i've $4,000. Bos-

STATE PRESS

This is harmony
The Buffalo Voice, whose editor was
a delegate to the late democrats con-
~yention at Laramie, prints a map of
Laramie, Albany, Carbon, Sweetwater
and Uinta counties and labels it: THE
Home of the Wyoming Democratic
Hogs and then adds the following
editorial comment on the conventions:
1t has been said that the best les
sons learned in the course of life are
those acquired by adverse experience.
This axiom does not seem to apply to
the democracy of Wyoming. At least,
If tho party ever learned any lesson by
defeat, it does not put it into practice.
The outcome Of the late state conven-
ton is a case in point. The southern
tier OF counties. traversed by the Union
Pacific railroad. has always displayed
a tendency to gobble up everything de-
sirable in sight, and are usually sue
Cessful for lack Of cooperation on the
part of the representatives from the
central and northern counties. The
northern democrats are expected to
furnish the fodder upon which the hogs
of the south may grow fat, and
this year is no exception to the estab-
lished rule. Some year, we trust. the
north will profit by experience and
combine for mutual protection Raw

A SURE WINNER.
Governor Richards Talks of the Great
Philadelphia Convention.

Governor Richards returned yesterday
morning from Philadelphia, being one
of the delegates from Wyoming. Sena-
tor Warren, Senator Clark and Con-
gresham Mondell will be home in a
few days.
Governor Richards is very enthusi-
astic in his approval of the ticket
nominated. In talking to a Cheyenne
Leader reporter, he said it will carry
the country like wildfire. He says the
west will endorse the administration
as strongly as the east and there is
now little doubt but that Washington,
Idaho and Utah will go republican.
The governor says it was a magni-
ficent body Of men and he was very
much impressed with their character.
The delegates from all over the coun-
try were filled with enthusiasm. There
was not the excitement that might
have prevailed if there had been rival
candidates. Everybody demanded
Roosevelt, who was ven Iowa's second
choice Mr.. Roosevelt was sincere in
his desires to not accept. He has in
augurated ideas of government which
he desired to put in operation in New
York during his second term. But the
tide was so strong that he had to sur
render.
Philadelphia is ar ideal place for a
convention. The hall holding 10000
people was well ventilated and very
comfortable. The Philadelphia people
are fine entertainers. The convention
was one of the most notable in the his
tory OF the country.

Democrats are laughing because Of
the fact that the New York Herald pre-
sents the name of Cleveland for presi-
dent. Cleveland is the only mar they
have been able to elect since 1860 and
he has more horse sense than Bryan
ever will have. He was off on the tar
III, but he believed in the enforcement
of law. Had it not been for the fact
that he sided with Spain when he was
in the presidential chair and attempt
ed to pull down the flag in Hawaii, and
performed several other fool things,
Grover would not have been half bad
not so bad as his party.

1t will require n good deal of cheek
for the democracy to meet in Kansas
City and give an excuse for their be-
ing alive. What can they point back
to as a reason why people should trust
them? What can they promise for the
future? They expect to win on their
indictment of the republican party, but
what will be their showing? What
have they to offer the people for the
future? When they d~enounce trusts,
how will the Hills, Whitneys and Van
Wycks in the convention keep from
smiling? When they shout Imperial
ISM will the benevolent features of
the members before them give any
proof that they ever gave up a good
thing? What excuse will they be able
to urge for trying, as a party, to live?-

In these columns mention has al
ready been made of the discovery of a
horn Of the extinct aurochs, or ur (not
the blson), in a peat bog In Lower
Pomerania. This remarkable specimen
DR.. Nehring now describes and figures
in the "Deutsche Observation-Disclosures
Presse" of Feb. 10. In the course Of
this article the author mentions that
the aurochs, Of which our domestic
cattle are the descendants, survived on
the continent till 1927, and that ex-
amples OF its enormous horns, some
times mounted as drinking cups, were
preserved in many inns, churches and
castles, especially in South Germany
and Alsace-Lorraine, till a compare
lively recent date. In 1880 Conrad
Gesner, for instance, mentions having
e skulls, with the horns, of aurochs
at old hostels in Worms and Mayence.
Till as recently as the first French
revolution two aurochs' horns were
preserved in Alsace, the one in the
cathedral Of Strasburg and the other
in the cellars Of the episcopal palace at
Zabern. The first measured six and a
half feet in length, while the second
held four liters. Since both are now
lost, the newly discovered subfossil
specimen is OF priceless value.-Na-

port of all men who hate demagogy
and who recognize the right of the
producing classes to combine and to
cooperate to meet new business con-
ditions. The use Of. capital cannot be

Don't it make you tired to hear the
democrats decry the commercialism Of
the republican party? Four years ago
commercialism in some form was the
thing they were looking for. but COM
merce had gone glimmering under the
rule of Grover Cleveland. Now they
urge that there are better things for
humanity than the chance to earn a
dollar. There may be better things for
a laboring man than the opportunity
to work for fair wages, but if there is
it has failed to come to our notice. Give

Dowie's Scheme.

Washingt ton, Apr. so. John Alea
Dowie, the we'll known healer Of Chi.
cago and the general oversee" Of the
Christian Catholic church, was at the
treasury department. today and had a
conference with Secretary Gage and
Assistant Secretary Taylor. He said
that he had recently purchased at Not
ingham, England, five machines for
making Nottingham lace as we'll as
other necessary machinery, which he
would set up near Waukegan, Wis.
He had also engaged under contract
twenty experts in lace making, and
his purpose in seeing the treasury Of
ficials was to learn if there would be
any legal objection to their coming in
to the country. He was informed by
the secretary that the contract labor
laws of the United States made spe-
ci6c exception in the cases of work
men to be employed in an industry
new to this country, and as lace max
ing was undoubtedly a new industry
here there could be no objection to
his bringing over the men he had en-
gagged. DR.. Dowie stated that he had
1900 acres of land near Waukegan
where his lace plant would be estab-
Gshed for the benefit of the members
of his church community, and he ex-
pected to make the enterprise very
pro6table.-Minneapolis Times.
