The map selected is issued by Rand.
McNally & Co, and is up-to-data in ev
cry particular. 1t is arranged in neat
book form and is suitable for carrying
in ones pocket, is neatly covered and
very durable. In addition to the map,
there is a large amount of valuable IN

showing in detail the entire railroad
system, the express company doing
business over each road and accurate
ly locates all cities, towns, postofices,
railroad stations, villages, counties, ISL
ands, lakes, rivers, etc.
The special features of this pocket
map are: Locating the branch or par

each station is situated; the nearest
mailing point of all local places; desig-
mating money order postofices; tele-
graph stations, and naming the COM

A BUNDLE OF BOLOS

AS a whole. the state press stands
squarely by the university and Its eX.
cellent president. The Republican has
already printed a number of favorable
comments made by the papers of Wyo.
ming during the past week and here
appends additional comment:
An Unwarranted Attack.
Bill Barlow in his Douglas Budget
makes an unwarranted attack on the
University OF Wyoming at Laramie.
1t seems to us that the Budget man is
a little Inconsistent. lie says, after
enumerating the curriculum and the
equipment of the states educational
institution: The university has ev-
erything except scholars This is
not the fault OF the institution or its
management, but of the people OF the
state themselves.
Attacks like Brother Barrow has
made upon President Smiley. who he
says is a good and capable man. are
not intended TO improve the situation.
Mr.. Barrow's only complaint seems to
be that too much restraint is placed
upon the students. The only criticism
we have ever heard coming from the
university, and they were purely ru-
mors and not we'll authenticated, were
exactly to the contrary.
We believe that the University of
wyoming will compare very favorably
with similar educational institutions,
whether seCtarian or INSTRUMENTATION
al in character, in any of the western
states. Statistics show that the per
cent of the attendance of students &C
cording to the population of the states
is larger in Wyoming than in any 9th
er surrounding state, Utah alone eX,
cepted.
While the large amount of money
expended each year does seem large
for an institution whose total enroll
ment has never reached the 200 mark.
still the advantages are offered and if
the people OF the state do not nave
their children avail themselves of
them, or are willing to zeal the eX-
pense of sending their children else
where to be educated. as many are do
ing, the state has performed its duty,
and the responsibility rests upon the
individual citizen who does not have
sufficient public spirit to patronize and
support a home institution.
Every dollar expended in the main
tenance of the state university is
money well invested by the state, and
attacks like the Budget has made on
the institution will show parents that
they may have no fear about sending
their children there, for strict disci-
pine is maintained III there is no
complaint of the course of instruction
followed.
There is nothing wrong with the
university. The only thing that it
Leeds is the support of the people of
the state.-Rawlins Republican.
As Well Stay at Home.
Bill Barrow seems to have stirred up
a hornets nest in his arraignment OF
the management OF the state university

An old colored woman selling snails
occasionally makes her appearance in
certain streets here, says a Philadel-
phia paper. She carries an old basket,
in which the snails repose on freshly
]sprinkled leaves. These are nor sold
as food. but for cleaning the outside
of window panes-an old practice still
in vogue in kensington. The snail is
dampened and placed upon the glass,
where it at once moves around and
devours all insects and foreign matter,
leaving the pane as bright and clear
as crystal. There are old-established
business places IN Kensington where
the upper windows. when cleaned at
all. are always cleaned by snails. There
is also a fine market for snails among
the owners of aquariums. as they keep
the glass clean and bright.

The Republican has been shown that
1t was i'll error regarding the reduction
to the ranks of We of the officers of
