point attorneys for service. In order
to remedy this, | recommend hat the
present state legislature enact a law
that will require every company hat is
now doing business in the state. or
that may hereafter be admitted to do
business in the state, to appoint the
state auditor and eX-oficio insurance
commissioner and his successor in Of

AT the last session of the legisla.
ture. the insurance laws were so
amended that all insurance companies
are required to pay to the state . per
cent of all amounts that have been col
lected upon lapsed policies. | refer to
section III of the Revised Statutes of
Wyoming. 1899. A portion of this law
is no doubt unconstitutional, as it i'm
posed upon all companies a tax of two
and one-half per cent upon all premi-
ums received from residents of the
state and if this office insists upon
the payment of an additional tax of
two per cen upon the premiums of
lapsed policies. the companies are
compelled to pay a tax upon premiums
that have already been taxed. do not
believe that this was the intent of the
law. and | sincerely hope that it will
bu repealed.
The laws that govern the admission
and conduct OF building and loan asso.

are inadequate in their present form.

In a sermon recently delivered at
Rome by Bishop Spalding OF Peoria,
ILL.,, a Roman Catholic ecclesiast. he
said: Since it is our duty to educate, it
is our duty to give the best education.
and first of all to give the best cduca-
ton to woman; for she, as mother, is
the aboriginal God-appointed educator.
What hope is there of genuine prog
ress, in religious life es~peclally,,df we
leave her uneducated? Wheru Woman
is ignorant, man is coarse and sensual,
her religion is but a superstition
he is sceptical and ~irreverent. IL we
are to have a race of enlightened, no.
bic and brave men, we must give to
m the best education 1t is posi-
Bile for her to receive. She has the
same right as a man to become all that
she may be, to know whatever may
be known. to do whatever Is fair and
Just and good. In souls there is no
sex. If we leave half the race in ig-
norance, how shall we hope to lift the
other half into the light of truth and
love?

A
Its Formation Is Something Few Of Us
Understand

saAhH.
The formation of a thunder storm is
one of the familiar things that few of
US know anything about it. That
sounds like a contradiction. but 1t Is
not, for while We are familiar enough
with the impressive spectacle made by
the clouds as they gather and with the
sometimes disastrous and always star
ting effects of the storm when it
breaks over us. how many of us can
trace 1t back to its origin, step by
step, and tell how and where 1t got its
terrible power? Let us try to do this.
There is no doubt hat the electric
charge of a cloud comes from an mi
tlal charge multiplied by induction.
The initial charge may be acquired by
evaporation, for we know that cleo
tricity may be generated in that way.
Or 1t may be generated by the friction
OF Vapor-laden air. which, moving as
wind, comes in contact with objects on
the earth's surface. This vapor is com
posed of very minute particles of wat
er. each of which becomes electrified,
the charge accommodating OF its sur
face. Now, as these particles of drops
come together and are condensed into
larger drops the surface area is re-
duced in proportion to the volume and
an increased electric accumulation is
the result. In other words. when two
drops are condensed into one, there is
the same quantity of water and of
electricity was when the drops were
separate, but there is a good deal less
surface, and the electric charge is in
tensitied to that extent. The drops so
formed attract smaller drops by their
greater power. and thus condensation,
with continual increase of power, goes
on rapidly and a thundercloud begins
to form. AS the cloud is sent forward
by the wind it affects the eaTth's sur
face by induction. and the earth's
surface affects it in the same way, the
cloud becoming positively and the
earth negatively charged. This goes
on rapidly, electric energy being con-
~tinually drawn to the cloud from the
air, and the same quantity being re-
PEELED from the earth below. Thus it
Is that the thundercloud forms so
quickly and acquires so great an cleo
trio power.

HAIR SOFT AS SIlK
New scientific Treatment Kills Dan
druff Germs, and makes Hair Soft.

1t is an accepted fact, a proven fact,
that dandruff is a germ disease; and it
is also a demonstrated fact that New
bros Herpicide kills the dandruff germ.
Without dandruff falling hair will stop,
and thin hair will thicken. Herpicide
lot only kills the dandruff germ, but
it also makes hair as soft as silk. 1t
is the most delightful hair dressing
made. 1t %cleanses the scalp from dan
druff and keeps it clean and healthy.
Itching and irritation are instantly re-
lieved, and permanently cured. At all

.raWford's Idea Of Heaven

Crawford's Idea Of Heaven
Saratoga has had some typhoid few
er. caused by impure well water. AS
We still have the pure water of the
North Platte river flowing by our doors
we have no cause for complaint. But it
does not look as though if a man went
to Cheyenne he would have to take
along a jug Of water-a jug filed with
anything else would not be necessary,
as they have plenty of other truck in
Cheyenne, as well as in Saratoga. We
pity the legislature. They will have
to walk clear out to the head waters

AN IRISH


Geological Interest.
Ireland has recently discovered it
self to be tie proud possessor Of an
animal which is exclusively Irish.
Only a mouse. it Is true. but then the
smallest creatures have often the
largest geological interest. 1t appears
that on the North Bull S%andbank, in
Dublin bay, an islet about two and
a half miles long which began to ap-
pear above water during the last quar-
ter of the eighteenth century. there
dwells in large numbers a mouse so
house mouse as to be a distinct vari-
ETY. with legitimate hopes of one day
being recognized as a sub-species.
These mice are the descendants It is
supposed of castaways and have in
about a century thus adapted their
coats in color to their sandy surround
ings for protection against the owls
and hawks which hunt over the island.
The North Bull Sandbank mice are
not all equally pale in color, and the
geological Interest of the discovery
lies in the opportunity afforded sci
ence to ascertain in how many gener-
atoms a complete change of color for
protective purposes is evolved. A long
bridge connects the sand bank with
the mainland, but as this is an open
woodwork structure Is is very unlike
ly that ordinary mice will intrude to
disturb the progress of this natural
experiment.

Time Il Was Stopped-

AS the time for the meeting of the
legislature approaches the question of
the bounty on wolves begins to make its
appearance. There is a method in this
madness. 1t is lone to influence the
and to secure an a]ppropria-
ton which is entirely in the interest OF
the stockmen. The last Legislature was
simply a stockmen's association and,
though they were well aware that the
was distasteful to the people,
they appropriated S25 900 to the pro-
lection of their own interest. 1t is high
time that this kind of Legislation was
ended.-Saratoga Sun.

 Representatives of the leading busl- ness houses ot the city have put their shoulders to the wheel and lively ef- forts are being made to carry out this commendable public enterprise. Vol unteers are requested from every busi- ness house in the city, and from as many other sources as possible.

 ''Ifan cannot become active mem- bers, !" said partner in one of the lead ing business houses in the city and who isa leading spirit in the fire depart ment, "iet th,m at least sign the roll and become moral supporters of the en- terprise.
 "Skagway needs the brawn and muscle Of her 1.-the and rugged young men to hurry the carts to the front and fight the fire, and the encouragement of the less athletic and muscular to keep up an interest in the company or ganization. Nearly every business house of any consequence in the affairs Of the city can furnish at least one ac- tive man who can help draw the ma chine to fire.
 Nearly everyone turns out toa tre, but the majority of men run along the sid walks to glut their curious eyes upon a spectacular sight, and lend no hand in moving the carts or fighting the flames.
 "Organizc Organize ! Organize {! should be the slogan in the mind of every citizen who dreads fire, and his cry should be supported by himselt.'
