is champion, because he gave JEFF the
fight of his life, and is willing to meet
him again at any time. When Cor

lin, with his clever and foxy mana
ger, Billy Madden, will strike the
burg loaded down with posters printed
on green paper with glaring red type
informing the public that Rubin is the
champion, having won II on a techni-
cality because Jeffries would not heed
his challenge after being given due
time. When this all comes to pass the
public will wonder who is really the
champion, and there will be bar-room
arguments galore, in which the sports,
wise or otherwise, will try to figure
out for themselves where the title be-
longs. Jeffries Is champion by right

championship claims will furnish ma

all those who love to talk on pugilistic

says he will pay no attention to Jeff,

Brady made a very reasonable propo-
sition to Fitz, and it would not sur
prise many to see Fitz and the cham

FLOWER.

at is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houston, that in my travels in all
parts of the world, for the last ten
years l have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy, for dyspepsia,
d%eranged liver and stomach, and for
constipation. I find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling office
positions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. 1t does not injure the system
by frequent use, and is excellent for

BE LOYAL TO WYOMING.

The Leader is greatly pleased that
the efforts of Willis George Emerson
10 raise the money to erect a copper
smelter in the town of Grand EnCamp-
ment have been successful. The time
is soon coming, we hope, when there
will be surplus money in Wyoming to
develop the mineral of the
state. The prosperity of our stock
men ought to result benefcially in
more ways than one. now that eight
tenths of the live stock is owned by
residents of Wyoming.
We have always admired the loyal
spirit of the men who made their for
tunes in Colorado. They did not, like
those of Nevada or California, go else
where, taking their money with them.
But they built railroads, erected smell
tiers and manufactures, also hotels, OPP
era houses and business blocks. Men
like Governor Palmer, Governor Ev-
ans, Hill, Tabor, Eaton, Stratton, and
a host of others, have devoted their
mt SltS III " luIt' W IL upbu4lh
ing of the state of Colorado, and set
an example that is we'll worthy of mi
tation.
The beautiful cities of Colorado are
largely the outcome of this public
spirit and local pride. We can see ev-
licences of it in Wyoming, but not to
the extent that is desirable. Mr.. n.
r. Davis, one of Wyoming's successful
stockmen, is about to i]naugurate a
railway enterprise in central Wyoming
that will do much toward the develop
mcnt of the mineral Of the
state. Another citizen, DR.. II. NJ. Ben
nett, has just let a contract for the
erection Of a pretty hotel, of pressed
brick, to be erected at Guernsey
which will be an attraction as well
as a public convenience. The Leader
would be pleased to mention that q
similar good work was undertaken fol
each of the towns on the line of the
Union Pacific, including Cheyenne.
We might enumerate many Other
Improvements greatly needed in oul
state and which could be profitably
made. We have also mines tina
should be operated, lands that SHOULD
be reclaimed and there are many in
dustries that should be established
Our first great need is a beet suga,
factory. The lands and the climate o
Wyoming are as well adapted to the
cultivation of the sugar beet as thos'
of Utah, where the business has prov
cd wonderfully prosperous.
Let us hope that the men who amas.
wealth in Wyoming will not 81 abroad
to invest it. Let there be such loca
} pride as will tend to bring about 10y
atty to the state and devotion to hel
| interests. Without a doubt Wyoming
) has great natural resources. This cal
not be denied. But it is a mistake tt
leave their development depend entire
ly on foreign capital.
t The Leader will have more to say
on this subject hereafter, as it is one
of vital importance to the welfare o.
the people of Wyoming.-Leader.

One-half acre of land for five years at

The value of potatoes and grain

SENATOR CLARK'S INDEX.

CLARK or Wyoming, as iOIlOWS:
There is no better index of business
prosperity or depression in tn" United
States than the condition of the rail
roads," said Hon. C. d. Clark, United
States senator from Wyoming. who is
chairman of the senate committee on
railroads. when railroads are carry
ing lots of passengers w know that
the people have money to spend in
travelling, or that business Compels
them to travel. AS the movement of
freight grows, the volume Of business
transacted Is on the increase. The
larger the earnings of the railroads. the
more satisfactory are, not only their
own balance sheets, but also those of
the merchants and manufacturers who
are shipping and receiving the goods.
Between the years 1893 and 1895
there was a loss of $3.50 per mile in the
passenger earnings of the railroads of
the United States. In 1895 the freight
earnings OF all the roads were SITS
per mile less than in 1893. Adding this
to the loss of passenger earnings. gives

MINISTER WI HAS NEWS.

CeHtral China

Says Peace and Order Prevail in
Central China.
Washington, June -. Reassuring
advices regarding TIL, condition of af-
fairs in Central China have come to
Minister WI, Of the Chinese legation
here. The yiceroy of the provinces of
Manan and Hupe has sent Il cablegram
saying that peace and order prevails
in that section of the country. At the
same time some apprehension is felt
that any attempt by foreign warships
to ascend the ang-tse-kiang river for
the protection of foreigners in those
provinces may excite the natives and
arouse their suspicious. Such an init
nation was conveyed in the viceroy's
dispatch. Minister WI conveyed the
contents Of the cablegram to Secre-
tary Hav when he called ut the state
department yesterday. The minister
is still without any advice touching af-
fairs in Northern China. and expresses
a disinclinati1n to discuss what may
be the condition of affairs in Peking.

: LEXINGTON AND
: IT'S COMMON.....


The village of Lexington lies about
ten miles northwest Of Boston. The
first settlement was made there in
1910 near the site of what afterwards
became known as the Buckman Tay-
ern. There still remain in the village
several well-preserved houses which
were standing at the time of the bat
tie of Lexington 125 years ago. They
have been we'll cared for and have un-
dergone little change. They add much
to the historic interest of the place
and are annually visited by thousands
of tourists. The local historical society
has placed tablets on them enumerat-
ing the dates and facts of especial in
terest.
Lexington Common is in the form
of a triangle and stands nearly in the
center of the village. At the time of
the fight on April 10, 1775, it was an
open space and used as drill ground
for the militia. Today it is beautiful
park. At the southern end Of the tri-.
angle is what is known as the Pulpit
monument, in the form Of granite
pedestal surmounted by an open Bible.
This monument stands on the site Of
the first three churches built by the
colonists. Just behind it. properly
protected, is thrifty elm which was
set out by Gen. Grant Is years ago
on the centennial anniversary OF the
battle Near the northwest corner of
the Common is the sMinute-men mon
ument, at the foot Of which are buried
those killed In the battle 1t is quaint
i1y inscribed and bears the names of
those whose last resting place It
marks. In 1924 Lafayette was given
"a public reception In front OF this
monument, and fourteen survivors OF

SHORTAGE IN HAY.
Owners of Stock in North Dalsot.;
Are Facing u Dilemma,

Aside from the crop situation as re-
CARDS Wheat and other grains. the sub.
ject that is at present agitating the
mind of the farmer more than any
thing else is what is to be done for
hay EeXt winter. Heretofore there has
always been mere or less wild hay
that was available. but this year there
is absolutely 10 wild feed to be had.
The hay situation has been Il serious
one for some time past. owing to the
tact that year hy year the country is
settling up more and more. and wild
lands are becoming scarce. Tame hay
has been raised to 4 considerable eX-
tent for the past few seasons. but il
the present dry weather continues it
will be useless TO SOW grass seed.
Straw has also been fed more or less as
Il coarse fodder, but. from the present
outlook. there will be no straw this
year. Several farmers in the vicinity
OF Fargo are plowing up the earlier
Sown grain and will sow a few acres

and the bullet holes can still be seen.
To the west of the Common is the

door and imbedded itself in bureau.
The bureau, bullet and all, is in the

the original owner died with his head
in his wife's lap the morning of April

which is now the rear L, as shown in
