A WYOMING PIONEER
DEAD AT EVANSTON,

l. C. Winslow, one of the best known
citizens of Wyoming, died at his home
in Evanston Friday, aged "a years. He
was one Of the pioneers OF Wyoming,
and has resided in Evanston for over
thirty years, being in the mercantile
business. He has held numerous Of
fetal positions, such as postmaster,
county commissioner, etc. He had been
ir poor health for the past year or
more, so hat his death was not a sui
prise, yet this entire community is
sad over the event and deeply griev-
ed. He leaves a wife, three IONS and
two daughters, all grown, says a spe-
cial from Evanston.
His Oldest son, Linwood Winslow, Is
a conductor on the Rio Grande West
ern and resides in Salt Lake City; an
other son is a dentist in this city. The
Oldest daughter is Mrs. DR.. Soller, her
husband being superintendent Of the
state insane asylum at this place. The
younger son., James, n youngest
daugher, Lisle, are living at home with
the mother. To the family the loss is
severe, and all the old settlers mourn
with them. The funeral was held from
the family home at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon.

COUPLE ACCUSED OF
STEALING DIAMOND Ri


Some time last September a Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Oliver came to the Hotel
Towns and rented rooms, says the
Sheridan Tribune. Later Mrs. oliver
was employed by the proprietors. Mr..
and Mrs. Osborne, to do chamber work
about the premises.
Osborne missed from her apartments
a diamond ring valued at $3.50. Cir
cumstances pointed to Mrs. Oliver AS
the guilty person. but no steps were
taken toward the recovery Of the prop.
erty at that time. Sheriff Nelson was
notified, however, and a close watch
kept on the suspected parties.
In October Mr.. and Mrs. oliver left
the Towns and secured rooms at Mrs.
Lords. Last evening the couple re-
moved their trunks etc., to the depot
preparatory for shipment to Newcastle
this morning-the couple themselves
having departed for that point last
night.
Sheriff Nielsen, armed with a search
warrant, examined the trunks at the
depot and discovered the ring in ques.
ton, and Immediately wired the New
castle authorities to arrest and hold
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver until the arrival
of the Sheridan county sheriff. Sher'

BRYAN Contradicts Rumor,

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 23.-An indig-
ant denial is made by MI. Bryan to
the story sent out from Denver that ne
had decided to suspend the publication
Of the Commoner because of lack of
support. The fact is that the ON
moner was never more prosperous han
it is today. The paid circulation last
week was 1O3 900 copies, and while
Mr.. Bryan will give no figures to 10
cal publications, it is known that his
profits for the first year will not fall
much below $50, 200. The paper is
printed at a local publishing house,
where an entire floor is necessary for
the accommodation of the office force,
which now numbers thirty persons.
The paper started in January, 1901,
with a circulation of 10000 paid copies.
The business has been systematized
and agents placed at work in almost
every section of the country, SO that
it has been no difficult task to run the
circulation up to large figures, while
the advertising itself is not an incon-
siderable part of the papers
C. w. Bryan, the business manager,
a brother of the editor, said last night
that the story was nonsensical and that
the paper is firmly established. Only
a small portion of the subscriptions
were for short periods and that already

HIGHER JUROR FEES
SENATOR WARREN INTRODUCES
BILL WITH THAT END
IN VIEW.
Jurors and Witnesses In United States
Courts to Get Three Dollars q Day
and Increased Milease-senator
Clark Will Cooperate, and Tells
Funny Story About Laramieite.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 23.-(Spe'
cial to The Republican .)-Senator War
rem has introduced a bill providing
that jurors and witnesses in the United
States courts in the district Of Wyo'
ming shall be paid three dollars a day
for their attendance upon such courts,
and for each day necessarily occupied
in going and returning, also mileage
at the rate of fifteen cents per mile
each way when travel is by stage or
private conveyance. and ten cents per
mile when by railroad: the fees of
witnesses before commissioners courts
to be the same as those attending 9TH
err United States courts.
1t is well known that the fees AMI
mileage o paid witnesses and jurors
do not begin to cover the expenses of
such witnesses and jurors attending
the United States courts, to say moth
ing of their loss of time and business.
The last United States grand jury
which met in Cheyenne signed a petit
ton to Senator Warren asking him to
endeavor to C a remedy for this
injustice, and the bill he has introduc-
ed and which he will try to have en-
acted into law is the result.
Senator Clark who will cooperate
with Senator Warren in securing the
passage of this bill, told a group Of
senators a funny story in connection
with the "~closeness" Of the United
States in dealing with the officers Of
the federal courts, Of which Major
Schnitger. Of Laramie, was the hero.
When the major was marshal Of
Wyoming, the department Of justice
several times refused to allow his &c
counts on occasions where he had
made long journeys to serve papers
and a unable for good reason at the
end Of his journey to obtain service.
Finally the major vas ordered by the
court to serve a subpoena upon a mar
lear Lander. AS is well known, the
language OF a subpoena directs That
the marshal have and bring the
body" of the person against whom d.
rected before the court.
When Major Schnitger reached Lam
der he found that the man he was to
bring was dead. He telegraphed the
attorney at Washington. 81 have been
directed to bring the body Of Henry
Jones' before the court at Cheyenne.
Henry Jones has been dead four days.
Must l dig him up and take the body
to Cheyenne, and II not, will my &C
counts De allowed for coming here?'
The major got an immediate reply
to allow the body to rest In peace and
that his accounts in this case would be
allowed.

1T is stated on reliable authority
that w. j.. Bryan will retire from the
newspaper business when the first
years existence of The Commoner eX.
pires," said J. w. Eddy OF Lincoln,
Neb., at the Albany Saturday morning.
to a reporter for the Denver Times.
The paper has beer a wretched fail
ure, n it is well known around Lin
coin that Mr.. Bryan is very much dis
gusted with the lack OF support of
the enterprise. The paper finds little
sale now, and even the people in his
own town pay little attention to it.
1t has never been in any a news
paper. The whole thing is devoted to
the views of Mr.. Bryan, which can
hardly be classed as news, you know.
1t looks more like q college monthly
than a newspaper. l have saved The
first issue as a curiosity.
The impression in Lincoln is that
Mr.. Bryan is politically dead, and that
as a national figure in American poll
tics he belongs to the past. OF course.
the democrats of Nebraska may send
him as a delegate to the next national
convention if he wants to go, but his
friends think that he will not wish
to be present in that body at all.
"Mr. Bryan's lecture tours have not
a success, either, and he seems to
be on the wane all around. | believe
he is out Of politics and that i'll future
he will be confined to a small circle
in the party"

OIL Fuel for Locomotives.

One of the railroads on the Pacific
coast has been experimenting with oil
az fuel for their locomotives in place
Of coal, and IL it proves a success will
be adopted. While there may be some
doubt as to the success of this new
fuel, there is none concerning the cura-
tive value Of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. It has been given q thorough
trial during the past fifty years and
has never disappointed any sufferer
from dyspepsia, indigestion, constipa-
ton or biltousness who has given it a
fair trial. What it has done for 9th
ers in the past it will certainly do for
you nov. Try a bottle and you will
be convinced. The genuine has our
private die stamp over the neck of
the bottle.

OF all the productions of the vege-
table world which the skill and in
genuity Of man have rendered condu-
Give to his happiness and to the in
crease Of his enjoyments the apple
stands forward as the most conspicu-
Gus. It Is now a fruit crop Of univer-
sal growth. and although the most
beautifully s%un-stained examples reach
England at various periods Of the year
from Canada and California and the
temperate regions Of the great Austria
liam colonies for flavor none OF them
equal those grown in England. The
garden apple is believed to have been
introduced into Britain by the Ro-
mans, and the wild apple OF u hedge

to degenerate, and to which 1t would
