REFUNDING STAMPS ON CHECKS.
DECISION THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AT PRES
ENT TO RETURN CHECKS TO OWNERS

Washington, Aug 12.-Commissioner Yerkes Of
the Internal Revenue Bureau. to-day gave out a
statement regarding the return to bankers of i'm
printed checks and drafts that have been sent TO
his bureau in order that the stamp thereon might
be refunded. in pursuance Of the act of March 3
1901 The banks and other owners Of imprinted
checks and drafts requested that the Internal Rev
enue Bureau cancel each check in such manner
as to render its further use possible and then re-
turn the same 10 its original owner. They were in
formed that under the existing law it seemed i'm
possible to comply with these requests. The Com
missioner says that the extent 10 which these
checks and drafts being sent in for redemption
shows that large pecuniary loss will fall upon
banks and owners II the checks and drafts are de-
stroyed after refund is made for the stamps
thereon. He adds:
The most careful consideration has been given to
the question rs the right of this department to
make for the value of these stamps and then
cancel and return the checks and drafts. The con-
cluson reached IS that under the present laws il is
not possible TO return these instruments to the
possible 10 consider these claims and redeem and
make refund TO the owners Of the amounts due by
reason of the stamps imprinted; will cancel these
instruments 10 allow their future use; Will
store the various checks, and Will request Congress
at its session In December next pass a law under
which IL will be possible and legal TO return these
drafts and checks to the claimants and owners. 1t

PANAMA LINES TRAFFIC SAID TO BE UN-

The railroad this message has reference to is
that operated by the Panama Railroad Com

asked this government to send warship to the

From the dispatch, however it appears that
so far American interests are concerned a
United States warship is hardly needed at
Panama, the greatest American interests
there are represented by the railroad company.

LACK OF OFFICIAL INFORMATION.

Washington. Aug. 12.-Mr. Herran. the Co
lombian charge daffaires at Washington. is still
in official ignorance of the momentous events
which, according to the press reports. are taking
place the Isthmus OF Panama and along the
Venezuelan border. He attributes his lack of
information to a break in cable communication
with his country, the line from Buena Ventura
north having been reported to be in bad work
ing order.
Mr.. Herran characterzes the situation In the
South as most bewidering. The official advices
concerning the probable withdrawal of the Co
lombian Minister from Venezuela he regards as
significant, though he points out that the
port distinctly stated that Sehor Rico, the Min
lister there had not demanded or received his
passports. and thus the matter has been robbed
OF the seriousness which would have been given

The Date Prisoners are to be Moved.

1t is now estimated by the state
officers that the prisoners at the state
penitentiary at Laramie cannot be
moved into their new quarters at
Rawlins before December list, as the
institution will not be completed be-
fore that time.
Considerable delay has been oc-
casioned by the inability of the con
tractor to secure men to work and
dearth of steam filters and plummers

The Eternal Law.

Perhaps there is no action of man.
klnu SO hard to control as speech.
A man has greater difficulty in curb
ing an unruly and vicious tongue
than any of the rest of the members.
The ancients said: "The tongue is a
hre,' and like fire it scorches, as well
as warns and comforts. To be able
to control this fiery member is one of
the greatest accomplishments that
man or oma can possibly possess.
10 be able to stop and say to ones
self: SIS this, which l am going to
say, true and, if true, will it be pleas
anti Should 1 remain silentY"
1t is comforting to know that one
can have an infallible rule to live by.
one handed down to us by the learn
ed men OF ancient times, and which
is just as applicable today as then.
When asked for the rule they said:
Let him say what is true; let him
say what is pleasant; let him utter no
unpleasant truth, and let him utter
no agreeable falsehood; this is the
eternal law"
Only when N charged with the
the moral training of some dependent
one, should unpleasant truths" be
be uttered, and only then with the
greatest tenderness. Too often a
man seeks an outlet for his own ir-
ritability by what he is pleased to
call "plain speaking" He wounds
and defames others and calls it being
crank"

They Were Too Much For Them.

Heretofore the boys about town,
and some of the men, have enjoyed
themselves at the expense of the
groom who was so fortunate to get
married and so unfortunate to be
c~harivaried, but they got fooled on
Tuesday evening when they tackled
w. I. Evans and bride with their tin
cans, COW bells, and the many other
things they had with them to make IA
noise, including a healthy pair of
lungs. About Z o'clock they waited
on the couple and introduced them
selves with an outburst of noise that
would brighten the average bride
and groom into a conniption fit, but
it did not disturb Mr.. Evans and his
bride from their bliss, or if it did they
did not show any signs of it. They
had been there before, and had prob
ably gotten used to it. The boys
kept up their noise for an hour and a
half, but neither Mr. Evans or his
bride came forth with the wherewith
all to treat the boys, and they pound
ed some more on the tin cans, and
they rang some more on the COW bells,
and they yelled some more with their
mouths, but it was all in vain. The
couple would not come out, and the
boys gave up in disgust, and declared

The Cemetery to be Fenced.

A representative of The Sun had
an interview with Mrs. Pennock, who
owns the ground on which the GENE,
terry is located, the first of the week.
and learned from her that it is her in
tention to fence the grounds as soon
as possible. She said this would have
been done before this, but that the
expense of laying the ground out had
been quite heavy and that she had
not yet realized enough from the sale
of lots to repay her for that work.
The grounds will shortly be enclosed
by a substantial wire fence until such
a time as she is able to put a better
and more appropriate fence around
it..
We learned, also, that there were a
number of people who have buried
relatives and friends there that have
never offered to pay for their lots, and
some have e gone so far as to go
there, dig a grave, and never even go
to ask permission, let alone pay for a
lot. 1t leaked out, during the CONVEX
sation that four members of a prom
inept lodge of this place had been
buried there and that not a dollar
had been realized from the ground
occupied. Many bodies had been
buried in the grounds previous to its
being laid out for that purpose and
of course, for those lots, nothing was
realized. But it is a shame that any
one should impose upon good nature
and generosity so far as to take a lot
without permission and never say boo
about paying for it. Mrs. Pennock
would, no doubt, be perfectly willing
to give anyone a lot who was too poor
to pay for it, but it is a burning shame
that any person should sponge a lot
in which to lay their dead. At least
the last resting place of a loved one
should be free from that stigma.

Cruelty to Animals.

Charles Gilbert, a young man who
has been doing some freighting in
this part of the country this summer,
was arrested yesterday by Sheriff
Kicker for the Fremont county au-
thorities, on the charge of cruelty to
animals. 1t is said that he got mad
at his freight team whilein Lost Cabin
several weeks ago, and took an AK
and cut out several ribs from one of
the horses, while the animal was in
the harness, and he hacked several
more of the horses. The young man
is now in the county Jail awaiting the
arrival of the Fremont county sheriff,
who will take him to Lander fol-
trial. -Natrona County Tribune.

Mayors Proclamation.

In accordance with a time-hon-
ored custom and the action of the
President and Governor, it becomes
my duty to designate Thursday, Nov
ember, %, 1901, as a day for the OBJ
servance of Thanksgiving.
Notwithstanding that we have had
some dull times, yet the rainbow of
promise is before us. Our citizens are
rallying around the flag of progress.
The future has a brighter look for us
than ever before. With new indus
tries and improvements being made
and in contemplation and our bust
ness being on a sure and firm basis,
and with the absence of disease or
epidemic in our midst, we have much
to be thankful for.
1t is therefore fitting that we should
show your appreciation for these man
fold blessings to the Great Ruler of
the Universe.
Now, therefore, l., Chas. P. Glenn
mons, mayor of the town of Saratoga,
do hereby set apart and designate
Thursday, the 2Sth day of November,
A. D., 1901, as "A day of Thanksgiving
and prayer. l request the peoole of
our town on that day to lay aside
their usual business and avocations
and to assemble at their usual places
of worship and return thanks to Him
who doeth all things well for the
great blessings we have enjoyed dur
ing the past year.

j. S. Stanley of Benton county, Ia,
was in the city yesterday on his way
home after investing in a section of
land in the colonizing enterprise in
augurated by the Homestead Irriga-
ton Settlement of Carbon county,
Wyo. He will take possession of the
land in the spring. Mr.. Stanley was
enthusiastic over his new purchase,
and said:
THAT country presents great chanc-
es for the farmer and stock grower
and l am willing to risk something
on my faith in ultimate results. | am
convinced that irrigated lands in this
Western country will yield more
b~ounteously and also bring in people
rapidly. l have been farming on a
half section in Iowa for twenty years
and sold my land for S63 an acre.
Now | am going to start again, and
am confident that | can make my new
land worth as much as my old in
much less time. The markets for the
products of the Western irrigated
farms are better. The yield per acre,
too, is greater. Alfalfa hay is selling
at Saratoga, Wyo., which is the near
est large town to the new colony, at
SO a ton; oats are bringing 81 a
hundredweight and potatoes So. A
farmer does not want anything better
than that"
The land on which Nj. Stanley will
settle will be irrigated by the Kuy-
kendall ditch, a scheme planned by
John NJ. Kuykendall of this city and
others. The water comes from the
North Platte and will irrigate about
100000 acres. The soil in the Platte
valley is rich and the water supply
inexhaustible. The foothills and
mountain ranges afford a rich sum
mer pasture for cattle, while the
meadows of native grasses, unequaled
for their nourishing properties sup
plemented by the product of the alf-
alta and timothy fields, are reliable
agents in the fattening forces that
will make the stockgrowers' corralls
attractive to the butcher and the stock
dealer during the winter months

shines out of him through every crack
