A MAIL CONTRACTOR
QUICKLY OVERHAULED.

S. S. Sage, the mail contractor be-
tween Battle Lake and Encampment,
was captured today on Deep creek
within six miles of the Colorado line
by creditors of the town of Encamp
ment, says a special from hat town,
who swore out a warrant and start
ed the sheriff in pursuit. He had made
a hard drive back across the Colora-
do line and when he vas nearing the
mining town of Pearl his horse became
exhausted and the officers who had
t%elephoned ahead soon had him in
charge.
The officers are now on the way with
the prisoner to Encampment, where he
will have to stand trial for obtaining
money under false pretenses and II
swer to his bondsmen for his actions.
He has always been considered an up
right man, but the excitement of the
mining camps a too much for him

RELIEF OF SETTLERS
ON FOREST RESERVES.

1t is the intention of Land Commits
sioner Hermann to ask congress to
take early action in enacting legisla,
ton for the relief of settlers on lands
within the forest reserves. says an
Omaha Bee Washington special. The
legislation proposed is for the purpose
of organizing the issuance of patents
to settlers who were on tracts embrac.
ed within the forest reserves and who
were prevented for one cause or an
other from making final proof. There
are several such cases in the Black
Hills forest reserve in South Dakota
and in other states where reserves
have been created during the last four
or five years.
The legislation will be general in its
scope and will apply also to such cases
as may arise hereafter. 1t is the pur-
pose of Commissioner Hermann to di-
rect the attention of congress to this
matter soon after it %convenes with a
view to securing action as soon as
possible.

MEETING
OF WYOMING INDUSTRIAL CON-
vENTION BEING ARRANGED
FOR By BUSINESS MEN.
Committee Appointed to Secure Hall
and Make Arrangements for State
Week in December-MineraI and
Agricultural Display.

The Wyoming Industrial convention,
to be held here the 18th and 18th of
December, was the subject of discus
sion at the business mems meeting last
night. W. H. Holiday. presided, and
George W. Fox acted as secretary.
The attendance was quite good
and the discussion was enthusiastic
from start to finish. The subject is
one in which a good many people are
interested, and the interest is growing
as the Importance of the proposed con-
vention is unfolded. The convention
will bring together some of the lead
ing citizens of the state, and car be
made of incalculable benefit in bring.
ing to the attention of the people of
the eastern states the matchless re
sources of the State of Wyoming. The
gathering is expected to crystalize
some movement to have Wyoming
properly represented at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition at St. Lu's in
1903, and some of the efforts will be
along this line.
At the meeting last night the matter
received the consideration of the bust
ness men in a business way, and a
committee consisting of Mayor Spicer
and DR.. l. r. Swigart was appointed to
make arrangements and secure a hall
for the meeting OF the convention.
The convention, as outlined in the
report Of the first meeting Of the com
mittee appointed by the Wyoming
Press association, will consist of rep
resentatives from the different coun-
ties OF the state, and is intended to
embrace every section of the state.
The delegates will be apportioned to
the different counties In such numbers
as will assure a good attendance. and
it is believed that not fewer than $50
delegates will attend, embracing al
most every school district in the state
and including some of the leading and
most energetic citizens In the differ
ent counties. Laramie will do her part
in making the meeting a success. to
repay in a way the honor conferred in
the unanimous selection of the Gem
City by the committee.
AS mentioned in The Republican
yesterday afternoon, A. G. Richards.
the hustling young manager of the
Laramie Mining exchange, was given
charge of the collection of a mineral.

the state, and he was delegated the
authority to appoint such assistants

SMITH CASE WILL
BE CALLED TUESDAY,

The trial of the suit of Mrs. Bertha
Smith (now Mrs. Code) against the
grand lodge, A. o. L. W. will begin In
the district court here Tuesday. The
motion to transfer the case to Lara
mic county district court and CONSOLE
late it with a suit pending against
the defendant was overruled. and it
will be called here.
The grand lodge is being sued by the
former wife and sister of the deceas-
ed member of the order. and the grand
lodge asked that the two cases be
merged in n so that it would not be
called upon to pay the policy twice.
The grand lodge offered to deposit
the mount of the policy, $4,000. in
the district court in Cheyenne and
then let the plaintiffs in the two cases
fight it out for possession. This view
was not taken by Judge Bramcl. and
unless something transpires that he
does not now see he will try the case
on its merits here.

The late Bishop Williams Of Con-
necUicut was a truly pious man. but
was sometimes placed in a position
where he envied the privileges Of those
not of the cloth. At a recent cUuclave
at the General Theological seminary
they told this tale Of the good bishops
wit: One summer day the bishop went
out fishing with a friend, and. as the
day was warm, they swung d bottle
of rare Burgundy over the side Of a
rowboat. When luncheon tim" came
the bishop essayed to pull the wine
aboard, already tasting in anticipation
the cool. delicious beverage. Through
some mishap the string slipped from
his fingers, and the bottle sank to the
bottom of the river. Bishop Williams
sat up with a sigh. and said. with his
eye sparkling: You say 1t. Jones;
you're a layman Boston Journal.

roased in that period moro than %
per cent. We are now cultivatinp All
The land in cotton that the South bas
labor for, and altho we have sufficient
area to produce one hundred million
bales of cotton, we cannot do it until
we get moro labor that is willing to
work har,l and live very economically
You can see, therefore, why it is not
to the interest of the South, or any
other people depending Oh the South's
cotton, for the negro to be taken from
the cotton folds and put into tho mills.
Another reason why do not think
the negro should be put in the mills is
that this industry furnishes almost the
only refuge for the laborlng white peo-
pic OF the South from the strong COM
petition OF cheap negro labor on the
iarms, IN the cotton gins and oil mills
the negro fills practically every place
except the boss's. The poor white man
IN the South with family dependent
on him finds it very hard to ray rent
on land and buy supplies on credit and
compete with the negro in raising cot
ton. That was one of the greatest
hardships during slavery, for the white
man either owned or controlled negro
slaves, or came in direct connection
with them in labor. One can readily
understand, therefore, that tins class
of people have found great relief by
going into the cotton mills, where thcI
not only receive better wages than
they could make on the farms, but Sc
cure better school and church faclli
ties, and are freed from the hateful
There iY Il very strong
antipathy between this class and the |
negro, which Is natural, and tho it |
may DC only prejudice it is uncon-
qucrahlc. A man may be poor enough
to be forced to work his family in the
acids alongside of the negro, but moth
lnS but dire necessity makes him doit;
and he would resent most bitterly any
intrusion of the negro in the cotton null
work, which he now regards as his
own. 1t ls all right 'vhclc men alone
work, in the mines, at masonry and
all kinds of hard labor, to mix the
races, but it is wrong to work negroes
IN association with white women and
children.

State can stand. He said that some
people objected to the States drawing
all income from the business; to the
states going into the business. Ho
fcpllcd to this by saying the State was
already IN the business when the law
was passed, and was it not better for
the State to get the unscrupulous bar
keeper out Of tho way; give the people
pure liquor, and get all the money the
business yielded when properly and
economically managed?
The Senator referred, in passing, TO
the hard time the State constabulary
had in Charleston when the law went
into force, and rather felt that Charles
ton wanted TO be sort of state by
itself.
Various questions were asked the
speaker. One that caused greatest
laughter in the reply it got was !: "Do
You think the dispcnsary law could be
worked here in New York 9' "No;"
MIR. Tillman replied, "I do not think
you have civic virtue and patriotic
spirit enough to adopt the law in New
York."
In the course of his rer .rks Mr..
| Tlllman said: " We have in South
Carolina about lS0 dlspen, lries. U
40 not Know that quite give the num-
beD and they supply the whole State.
Here in Buffalo you have city of
$50, ,0o0, with about 2,GGG saloons"
The contrast was telling, indeed; for
Buffalo has one saloon to every 1876
| persons in the city.
MIR. Tillman made two mistakes,
which he conld ill afford to make in
his address, holding as he doeD the
high position of trust from South Caro-
lima. lie spoke disparagingly Of the
Christian ministers in South Carolina.
lie felt that their attitude toward the
dispcnsary law, which is working un-
told benefit for the State, was open to
reprimand. He appeared to speak In
slulring way of the preachers IN gen-
cral. think Mr.. Tillman erred at
this point; for my observation Of
Northern people is that, while they
may not all recognize the claims of re-
liglon, they seldom speak disparaging-
ly of preachers in public addresses.
Should Mr.. Tillman sec this article l
trust it may put him on his guard
against the repetition OF his mistake.
Another mistake OF Senator Tillman's
was his unnecessary acknowledgment
that he is himself moderate drinker.
That did harm. He said: Whom
| want drink of liquor go straight
into saloon and get it that has al
ways been my way" But only few
minutes before he had been rnnning
the saloon keeper down, in his dirty
business, and speaking Of the open
saloon as n menace. Now for him as
Senator Of the United States to say in
tho presence of great gathering of
men, many of them young mon, that
he visited bar rooms and drank liquor
was q mistake. Better keep that q
secret il he must do such q thing.

was expressed for him as man Of
