To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains OF disease is the worst
form Of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: "My
wife has been 30 helpless for five years
that she could not turn over IN bed
alone. After using two bottles Of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work." This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache, baekache, faintin gand dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is a godsepd to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed.

Shall We Incorporate.

The question of incorporation
for Saratoga has come up again
for settlement. A census of the
town has been made, a map of the
proposed district to be included
in the said town has been drawn
and posted, together with a notice
that an application will be made
to the Board of County Commits
sioners at their meeting on the
first Tuesday of July. There are
three such notices in different
parts of the town and they will re-
main posted for 20 days. The list
of residents or census and the
map Are both posted in the Office
of The Sun, where they are open
for inspection by all parties who
are interested therein.
Until very recently the senti-
ment of the majority of the people
was against incorporation, but the
l~awlessness which has come into
our midst in the past few weeks
has changed the mind of nearly
all those who against it and
now the sentiment for incorpora-
ton is almost universal. We be-
lieve when the time comes to vote
upon this question that there will
be but very little Or no opposition
to incorporation.

Delightful Springtime.

No time of the year is quite SO
welcome in this beautiful valley
as the spring time. Just now the
weather is fine, the air soft and
balmv, the hills and valleys are
green with a fresh coat of verdure.
the tender leaves are putting
forth from the trees all along the
river and its tributaries, the birds
are singing, the cattle, horses and
sheep are in fine condition and all
the world seems to rejoice with
life and happiness. When one
walks abroad aud enjoys the de-
lights that are presented on every
hand, and when every breath is
like nectar, it is hard to realize
that sin abounds, that there is evil
in the land, that anyone is in
want or that hearts are sad.
When there is such Joy in nature
and when every view is enchant-
ing, sorrow, evil and distress seen
impossible monstrosities.

Bonded for $4,000.

An important mining deal was
consumated here this week, where.
by F. P. Cole and Company bond.
ed for $4,000 seven claims in the
extreme southeastern part Of the
Upper Platte Mining district,
owned by w. s. and George s.
Adams, Shellie and Ralph Wood
and James Farrell.
The claims r all copper prop
critics, running from Z to 10 per
cent copper and from 50 to s. in
gold at the surface. The lead can
be traced on the surface for two
miles and, while its exact width
connot be determined at this time,
is is known to be from IL to 20
feet in width. The principal
claim in the group is known as
the Olympia and the shaft on that
claim is down Is feet on the vein.
The claims are located in the
southeast part of township IA,
north of range 80. The formation
is gray granite.
1t is the intention of the lessee
to begin work at development at
an early date and it is quite prob
able that at least 100 feet of de-
velopement work will be done this
season and $50 feet next year.
We we're unable to learn about
the payments but a good sum
no doubt paid down and the
rest in instruments. The company
is a strong one and will no doubt
make a stir in that part of the
country before another month
rolls around.

place last week. He says work is
progressing finely in the construc-
ton of the stamp mill and that it
will shortly be ready for work.
Mr.. Green says they are finding
better ore than he over saw in the
camp, and he has been staying
with Gold Hill ever since its first
discovery. He has the most I'M
bounded faith its future.
At present Mr.. Miller is in hos
ton in consultation with the Com
pany concerning the work at Gold
Hill. On his return it is expect
ed that the work will receive a
new impetus. They are now en-
ploying Is hen in their camp.

Stole Flowers From a Grave.

Mrs. Albert Walter decorated
the grave of her father, Edward
Probst, who lies in the cemetery
here, with some artificial flowers,
the leaves of steel and the bios
SONS of porcelain, the past spring.
She was very much grieved on
visiting the grave Monday to find
that some person had stolen the
wreath. 1t is hard to find a name
harsh enough for any one who
will stoop so low as to do such a
deed. If the person who commit
ted the deed is discovered he will
be made to feel the full force of
the law.

ing the work at the camp, said:
1--WE are down go feet ON the

have been compelled to suspend
operations OIL account of the flow
of surface water. But will soon be
able to do away with that trouble
and then we can proceed with the
work of sinking.
"The shaft is now in ore, better
ore than we have ever had. The
ore body occupies the entire shaft
and, as we have not run any cross
cuts, we do not know how large
the ore body is.
"We are now constructing an
other ore house to accommodate
the output of the mine. The bot
tom has fallen out of our snow
road and we have to provide
some place to store the ore until
the road gets in a condition to
travel again, which will be in three

THE: COMING PRESS MEETING

boys being in a seductive frame OF

con Crawford arose and with that
august solemnity for which he is
noted, and in terms SO glowing
that the effervescent light could
be seen through several brick
walls, invited the boys over to Sar-
atoga. He told about the grand
eur of his neck-o'- wood about
all the pretty girls Saratoga has,
and how there was to be all man
ner of good things provided to eat,
and the argument was simply ire
sistible. So touching were the
Deacon's words that Bill Barrow

he had lost a half dollar some
where and was shy on his board
bill Bro. Slack, who is used to
such scenes and knows the Dea-
con pretty we'll, didn't seem to
mind it much, and even grinned
occasionally, but his stony-nearted
tenor didn't influence the others,
and the Deacons kindness was
taken for what it was worth-and
we are going to go to Saratoga.
The meeting is to be the last of
July, or, if the mosquito eason is
a little late, it will be postponed
till August. There is to be II side
trip to the Grand Encampment
mining country, and a general
good time for three or four days.
OF course, the brethren are to be
allowed to fish in the Platte, and
there is to be a cash prize for the
fellow who can handle the Dea-
cons bait to the best advantage
and not have the headache the
next day. 1t will be the largest
small gathering in the state in

BURGLARY AND LARCENY.
A Crook Breaks into the Drug Store
and Helps Himself to the Con.
tents Of the Till and
Some Cocaine.


When Joseph NUM- went to
open up the drug store of Glenn
mons d Price Monday morning he
found the front door had been
forced open. Later the drug clerk,
Henry Britt, discovered that the
money drawer had been tapped.
DR.. Price concluded to do a lit
tie detective work on his own &C.
count and after making enquiry
among the saloons and also DIS
covering that a dozen bottles of
Birney's Catarrh Cure had also
been taken, he spotted his man in
the saloon of Cluff & Albro. Dep
uty Sheriff Sisson arrested the
suspect and he gave himself away
on the start and when arraigned
before Judge Blood acknowledged
the deed and was bound over to
the District court in the sum of
$500 on the charge of burglary
and larceny. He was taken over
and put in the calaboose where he
raised the very devil all day, try
ing to set fire to the place. He
tore out the stovepipe exit in the
roof and would have gotten out
but for the prompt work Of the Of
6cers who chained him fast in his
cell during the night.
The man, WIN gave his name as
George P. Byers, had been at work
for the Ferris.H aggarty company
at the mine and only recently
came down from there. He is an
ex.convict and morphine tiend and
it was partially through the use of
the Birney Catarrh Cure that he
had stolen that he was apprehend-
ed. Deputy Sheriff Sisson left
with him for Rawlins Tuesday
where he was placed in jail. He
will probably be tried the present
term of court and hurried on to
the pen as fast as possible. He
claimed to have had two accom-
plices but no one believed his
story.
