The prime. imperative need for sue

Doors and other wooden articles are
now actually e~lectroplated with copper
and other metals. They are first treat
ed in such a way as to make them
waterproof. and to prevent from warp
ing and %shrinkage. by filling the pores
with a proper varnish. They are then
bound with strips Of metal and over
the e~lectroplate. The articles are then
ed with a metallic leaf that will take
put into the electroplating vat and one
pole of the current is attached to the
binding metal strips, and the other to
the electrOlyte used. So 'brOnZed"
doors are made of wood.

When the atmosphere in a room has
become close and impure, one may east
ly render it sweet and habitable by
placing one-half ounce of spirits of
lavender and a lump of salts of am
monia in a wide-mouthed, fancy jar
or bottle and leaving 1t uncovered. This
makes a pleasant deodorizer and disin-
fectant. filling the room with a deli
cate perfume which will be soothing
to the nerve and senses.

Congressman Mondell is responsible
for the fact that hereafter bidders on
carrying mails on Wyoming star routes
must give their personal supervision
to the performance OF the same and
reside on or contiguous to the route.
and that mail will be delivered free to
all who make request ana place their
boxes or cranes along the route 10 re
ceive the same. This Will doubtless
expedite the cost of the service: but
the work will be done by men who live
in the country and the service will be
prompt and efficient. In making his
fight for this change before the depart
meut Mr.. Mondell gave many striking
illustrations of the starvation rates
which had come to be paid under the
old system of syndicate bidding. and
insisted that the government should
pay good prices for the service. No

Some Cheyenne fishermen have
broken the record, so the story goes.
and Incidentally they have fractured
the law. They lay claim to have
caught $50 pounds of wallcycd pike of
all conditions and sizes. one Of the
party AYERS that he had Il pound pike
on his hook which simply served as
a bait for Il mammoth fish that got
away. Other fishermen are green with
envy ana are simply calling the attcn.
ton of the fish commissioner to the
size of the alleged catch. During the
winter they will have time to enlarge
upon the stories they had intended to
tell before this Cheyenne party re.
turned home and had to cur an *.

The democracy of the nation and
more particularly the extreme rarti
sans of the north are becoming greatly
alarmed lest President Roosevelt may
make inroads into the party of the
south by extending Il portion of the
patronage to men who are known to
be honest and capable. 1t is bribery.
they howl, and the negro is being be,
traycd. 1t is significant that the pros.
ident's policy is meeting with the en-.
dorsemCnt of such men as Booker r.
Washington. Mir. Washington says
the sooner the COlOrcd people of the
south renounCe politics and devote
themselves to the work they have in
hand, the better it will be for all par,
ties and classes. Mr.. Roosevelt has
studied southern conditions and his
administration will unquestiOnably os-
tablish more friendly relations with
the people already drawn closer to us

A Small Fire.

A big smoke or a small fire was
started in the rear Of the Rorabaugh
Wiley dry goods store on Monday fore
noon, about nine o'clock. Some dry
goods boxes were piled at the rear Of the
building and some one started fire tc
burn some old papers in the alley near
bv. Some Of them blew into the pile Of
boxes and soon started a fire which
communicated itself to the main build
ing. The fire company arrived with
is usual promptness, The fire was
subdued without very much damage
what was done being entirely confined
to the building.
1t was fortunate that there was so lit
tie wind blowing at the time, for had
there been such gale as has been blow
ing so much of late the fire might have
swept the best portion of town, Now Il
the time Of year when the utmost pre-
causlion shonld be observed in starting
any kind of fire out of doors.

sition to do good work for their patrons
In District seventy Grove township
the district board without warrant OF
law closed down their school one month
before it was out They gave as their
excuse that they were out OF money,
when they had almost enough to pay
for the months school. Even II they
were out Of money they were violating
the law when they arbitrarily shut down
the school, Any patron of the school
can demand and compel said board to
finish their school. Miss Mabel Jones
the teacher has done a great deal for
the school for the past few years, She
has built up good school and added
great deal Of apparatus, having raised
the money by box suppers. The board
takes this method of showing their ap.
probation. 1t is an outrage.
