The time for the converting of the

ever given in the city, and it will be
followed by a ball. This function Is

be a most enjoyable one.

IT LEADS IN COAL PRODUCTION

Until the end of 1898 Great Britain
was the greatest coal producer of all
the countries. In 1899 the United States
passed Great Britain. In round figures
the coal output of this country in 1899
was 245, OOO, 900 tons. This was so, 000,-
600 tons OF a gain over 1898. Here is
an Industrial triumph for which the
country is to be congratulated. II
means much in the race for business
supremacy.
Nearly twenty years ago the United
States passed Great Britain in the eX-
tent of its manufactures in the aggre-
gate. Four or five years ago the I'm
tied States began to forge ahead of
that country in the amount Of iron pro-
duced. Now England is left behind N
coal output. Next to the United States
as a coal producer, of course, stands
England, while Germany and Franc
follow, in this order. The United States
coal output il 1899 was much more than
three times as great as it was in 1870.
All the other producing countries have
increased their output since 1870 also,
Germany faster than any of the others,
but Germany's gain has not been near
ly so great proportionally as that of
the United States.
The principal reason for the great
growth in coal production last year
was the immense increase in the iron

From the Argonaut: An American
army nurse, who does not understand
Spanish and has recently returned
from Cuba, relates that one day she
was startled by the unexpected visit OF
her Cuban laundress. The was
intensely excited. She gesticulated
wildly and seemed to speak of an at
tack upon the hospital-of wounded
men %butchered INT nurses cut to rib
bons. The nurse was frantic. She
must know the worst. In the hospital
was an officer very Ill with typhoid fe-
yer. She knew he understood Spanish.
Only in a very serious matter would
she disturb him, but this was obvious
ly a matter Of life and death. She led
the Cuban woman to the bedside, and
there the story was repeated. The
officer listened intently. The nurse
held her breath. The Cuban ceased.
The sick mar turned his head on the
pillows. He whispered, feebly: she
says the stripes in your pink shirt
waist have run. and she doesn't know
what to do with it."

We hope that the county and city as,
SCISSORS and the boards of equalization
will see that the people of Laramie are
each and all placed upon a more equal
footing than they have been during
the past few years. There Is no rea.
son why n class of property should
bear a greater burden than another
If merchandise Is taxed at so per cen
of its value, then town lots and i'm,
prOvements should be taxed at the
same figure. Any citizen who knows
anything about the matter at all knows
that much of our city property has
been assessed during the past few year.
at from 100 to $50 per cent of it's value
and in some cases property has beer
assessed at twice its market price. Il
there vas any good reason for this
non would complain, but no argument
can be advanced In Its favor. The on
ly answer given the taxpayer is thai
he is taxed the same as his neighbol
and therefore he should MAKE no CON
plant. 1t is true he is taxed the same
as the man who lives next door. but
how does his valuation compare witt
other classes of property and with the
property Of other counties? If corpor
atoms are taxed upon so per cent valu,
alton, then individuals should receive
like treatment, and there is no reasor
oil earth why it should not be accorded
If the ranchman's steer that will sci
for $40 cash is taxed at $40, then the
townsman's lot that will sell for So
cash should be taxed at $40, and moi
at 500, as has been the custom. Also,
Lutte equality and equal and exact JUS

From the Omaha World-Herald:
Judge Beasley has been a justice Of
the peace in a northwest Missouri
township for so many years that the
memory Of mar runneth not to the
contrary. A few years g Beasey
was personally interested in a lawsuit,
being a party thereto. 1t was neces-
sary for him to make an affidavit, and
he deprecated the idea Of making it
before another justice or a notary and
depriving himself of a fee. So he filled
out his affidavit, swore to it before
himself, signed 1t as justice and as
witness and awaited developments.
He was sure hat he would win and
thus be able to tax the costs up to the
other side. When the case came up
before Judge Kelley the affidavit was
offered in evidence and promptly OBJ
jected to, the reaso being given that
a justice could not swear himself. Let
me see the affidavit" said Judge KEEL
ley. 1t was handed up to the judge,
who scanned it carefully for a few
moments and hen asked: "Mr. Beas-
ley, will you kindly tell me how you
appeared before yourself when you
swore yourself and identified your own
signature?" THAT was very easy.
your honor" replied Beasley. Il Dor
rowed a looking-glass and went
through the formalities before it"
Beasley was somewhat astonished
when Judge Kelley sustained the OBJ
lection.

RHYMES OF THE DAY.

Never did the sun of heaven
Kiss the face of fairer maiden,
(Of the Injun style of fairness,
Than was Marye-Mocks the Jayebirde
OF the Utes. Her face and figure
Would attract a crowd If pictured
On a gaudy Gibson poster.
Mouth the gods would take a smack at,
In her eyes were a y of starlight,
In her laugh were ripping waters,
In her voice a dream of music,
Every warrior of the nation
Not already fixed with squawlet
Strove his level best to win her,
Brought the wild game of the forest,
And the game from paleface henroost.
And the fruits of game Of monte,
And the treasure laid before her,
Sought for war to show their prowess,
Show that they were trumps in battle
One cen brought the scalp all CORY
OF the burly Pat O'Connell,
Section boss at Hobo Siding,
AS a mark of his affection,
But she scorned their fond advances,
Told them hat they weren't in it,
That their name, to use the lingo
OF the paleface tribe, was Dennis,
All because aspiring Marye
Had an overripe ambition
To corral a paleface husband
Who was expert at draw poker
And could keep her gowned in fashion,
Throbbed her heart, with hope new
kindled
When she heard the agents best half
Tell him as he fondly kissed her
After taking in a dinner
That the heart of man was always
Easily reached through his stomach.
With this careless speech to nerve her
Marye vanished from her people,
Glided like a brunette spectre
In the soft, free silver moonlight
From the hatred reservation,
With designs upon the stomach
OF some unsuspecting faleface.
Now, sly as prey-hunting tigress,
She was serving as a waitress
Singing f~fteen-cent collations
To a gang of lanky ooarders
In on onion-scented foot joint
Out in Hymen county, Utah,
Where she'd heard the men will marry
On the slightest provocation.

that the Mormon church is ready to
exert all its energies toward the seat

for SO many years that my hands grew
large, as you see them"
The speaker held up his small and
shapely right hand, smooth and white
as woman's, and said:
"Well, thank the Lord I never
worked on a farm"
The member replied, you are prob
ably going to run for the presidency

COUNTERFEIT DOLLAR
Given to Missionary Wheeler To Paw
For BoOk.-A Mean Trick

81 must have found horseshoe some
time in my iife," said w. S. Wheeler,
the ex-clowp. street missionary, last
night and he proceeded to explain
why he thought SO. On the pipht
before after closing his street talk he
passed his hat, into which the audience
dropped IS cents. Then he said he had
some books to sell, price Is cents each. A
man approached him, said be wanted
to buy a book, and tende ed q dollar
In payment for it.
Mr.. Wheeler gave him his newly-ao-
quired six bits and a dime together with
the 15c. book for the dollar, put the
dollar in his pocket and went to his
lodging place, happy in the thought
that he had done his duty and had q
dollar with which to keep his land lady
in good humor until he could strike a
more liberal audience. But when he
proffered the dollar to her ladyship the
next morning the light of day revealed
the fact that 1t was a counterfeit.
Mr.. Wheeler, being of cheerful dis
position, 1s not disposed to worry about
the loss of 100 cents 60 much as the
thought that he, being q stranger, is
likely to be regarded as q pusher of
crooked coin himself If be Is found
Offering counterfeit dollars in payment
OF his accounts to very great extent.

Hired the Press Censor.

The average newspaper man is usu-

one. This was pretty well illustrated
when the Chicago Record was placing
its foreign correspondents. George AIDE
was sent abroad by Victor f. Lawson
for that purpose. AIDE did all right
until he got into Servia. There he
found all the newspaper men in Jail
for political offenses. He was in a
quandary, so he cabled to Mr.. Lawson:
Newspaper men all in Jail. Press
censor very strict"
Lawson promptly fabled back:
