Senators keep closely in touch with
the weather in their home States at all
times while in this city. The Weather
Bureau service in both the Senate and
Houses allows them to know every
morning the temperature. rate at which
the wind blows, the rainfall or pres
ence Of clouds all over the country, so
that they can not only know the con
dtions at their homes, but can see
what is likely to occur during the
coming twenty-four hours. Senators
interested in stock farms of the West
find much satisfaction in seeing just
what conditions prevail Oh them during
the severe weather Of the winter or
during the tolTid periods OF the sum
mer. Senators interested in shipping
on the lakes and rivers can keep track
OF the conditions allowing the running
of boats. Various other lines of indus

"Ohice Of I. L. Darlington,
ATTY at Law,

~ y ~ A~N'f
Cheyenne. WyO., June IS,
"NIy Dear Miss Muggins:-I regret
exceedingly that circumstances over
which l have no control make it i'm
possible for me to hold you to your
promise, made some time ago, which
you may still remember. AS the daugh-
ter of a rich man, reared in the lap OF
luxury, as it were, it would be asking
too much OF you TO share my poor lot
with me. You must know how painful
the sacrifice is to me, but for your
happiness | am willing to suffer any
deprivation, and ! must be firm. l
am sure you would be willing to brave
all for my sake, but in justice to you
and to my own sense OF honor as n
man. 1 beg Of you to think no more Of
me except as Your Friend,
Lionel Livingstone Babington,
per Simmons"
The poet has well said; There is no
fury like a woman scorned," and Susan
Muggins was perfectly furious when
she read this letter, for she was now
onto Mr. Babington's curves, and fully
realized that 1t was her money and
not her own sweet self that he sought.
Yet it had not seemed so to her on
that radiant night as she listened to
the murmurous music OF his voice
pouring his rapture into her shell-ike
and willing ear. But Susan's heart
was not broken. 1t was slightly dis
figured, perhaps, but still in the ring,
and it prompted her to revenge. Re
venge is sweet, and Susan always did
have sweet TOOTH She had even
said to Lionel on more than one oc.
casion: "Oh, you sweet thing" hut
that was before he wrote the letter.
What she said after that was scarcely
fit for publication.
Some women might have sent for him
to come to them, or they might have
gone to him and soaked his spats with
their tears as they groveled at his feet
pleading for his love. Not so Susan
Muggins. For moment only was she
stunned by the cruel blow. Quickly
pulling herself together, she soon got
her second wind, and went on the
war-path for the recreant L. L. Bab-
ington. Did she seek him with the
pungent pistol. or the penetrating
poniard or exc the destroying acid
for his fatal facial beauty? Nit. She
knew his most vulnerable point, and

pcndence by heart. She was also as
sistant secretary of the Wyoming Wo-
mans Suffrage Association. With
such a taste for public affairs, it is
no wonder that to her love of Lionel
Darlington was added puissant pride
in his political career. She yearned
to see him rise to greatness, and thence
step into the wider fields Of national
politics, into the United States Senate
hadn't she money ?-and why should
he not become President? True, wy
oming was not yet a pivotal State,
but Ohio had once been Of no more
significance than Wyoming was now.
Dlzzily she contemplated herself as
the first lady Of the land, and the
blood fairly whirled through her veins.
wyoming women are wonders.
Naturally enough, the fair ones of
Mr.. BIS large circle of admirers were
envious of Susan Muggins when they
heard of the snap she had got, but
really these two favored beings were
so admirably adapted TO each other
that it was not long ere the most
envious came to the conclusion that
any other arrangement would have
been a misfit, and hearty congratula'
tions were rendered by all Their re-
spective pictures, done in the highest
style Of the newspaper art, appeared
in the society columns of all the sun
day issues, both in Laramie and Cey-
enne, and their engagement was in
deed a rose-colored event
But it is not always the farest prom
ise that comes to the fullest fruition,
and ere the rosy month of June had
waxed and waned and passed up the
summer solstlce TO July, Lionel Liv-
ingstone Darlington and Susan Mug
gins were no longer lovers pledged to
wed. 1t had been intimated that Mr..
Darlington was OF calculating dis
position, and alas, it was too true.
Within three short weeks of the sweet
scene we have pictured in the rustic
bower Of the lute-lulled lake, a dark
rumor foated in from Laramie City
to the effect that Susan Muggins's
father had failed in business. Only a
cloud as large as mans hand at hrst
upon the commercial sky, but it grew
apace, darkening as it grew, until the
storm broke, and e. Algernon Mug
ginss financial condition was such that
he could no longer part his name in
the middle. In other words, his great
fortune was blotted out of existence
and he was poor man.
His lovely daughter was at home
when the terrible blow fell, and Lionel
Darlington wrote TO her at once. He
might have gone in person, as he had
transportation over the railroad, al
though not yet elected to the Legisla-
ture; but the convention was approach
ing and he was absorbed in the forth
coming conflict. He did not have time
even to write q long letter. II was as

Thomas Il. Reed and Vermont

The Hon. Thomas B. Reed had host
of admirers in Vermont as we'll as in
other points of the country, who will be
shocked by the announcement of his sud
den death. Mr.. Reed was personally
known to not a few men in this State,
and many others who had heard him
speak in different parts of the State had
marked respect for his pronounced abil-
ity as a statesman and his forcefulness
as an orator, Moreover, every reader of
the press had gained intimate knowledge
Of Mr.. Reeds career in Congress- par
ticularly as speaker of the House, and
while one might not always agree with
his views, it was impossible not to ad.
mre the courage with which he always
advocated what he believed to be right.
| The defeat of Mr.. Reed greatest am
| bition is so recent an occurrence in our
political history, that it will naturally
be recalled by many people in connec-
ton with the close of his career Mr.
! Reed recognized the full significance Of
the part taken by Vermont in the presi-
| dental campaign of 1896. In writing to
! an admrer and friend IN this State, sew
eral months previous TO the Vermont
State convention he said: II am quite
sure that the best thing that could be
done would be to have united and zeal
Gus New Engiar n as we now have"
This reflected ,ntiment so far as
it had been puUAcly expressed up to
the beginning Of February of that event
full year How the missionary work be-
gan In Wlndham. Windsor and Benning
ton counties bore rapid fruit and how the
resulting Mckinley wave swept the State
republican convention and placed YER
mont in the column of Mckinley States,
is so fresh in the public mind as to re-
quire no recital at this time.
Speaker Reed had no rel. ..... lor the
Green Mountain State, even though he
realized, as he subsequently wrote, that
the battle was lost in Vermont" and
that with the division of what had been
confidently hailed as a New England
solid for Reed he must give up all hope
Of winning the republican nomina ton
for the presidency in 1896. His was the
tone Of sorrow rather than OF anger, but
even though the highest ambition Of his
life had been thwarted and his most cher
ished hopes had been broken. he showed
that he could be great even in defeat.
Not until the present generation has
passed from the stage of action and the
fires OF partisanshp have had time to
cool will the American people realize how
much they owe To the courage and
ability OF Thomas b. Reed as shown in

When Representative O'Sullivan stops
to think over the full situation in rela-
ton to the dropping out of the section of
the referendum bill relating to the location
OF saloons near churches or school houses
he will realize that he was needlessly dis
turbed. He was not in our thought nor
was ne referred to in our editorial directly
or by inference. Nor was any member of
The committee charged with connection
with the omission in any way. On the
contrary it stands to reason that if any
outside party desired to surrepttiously
cut out an objectionable provision before
it was printed, he would not inform the
members of the very body which adopted
it. Representative O'Sullivan shows that
in spite OF the great effort made to have
the bill in proper shape he found that the
measure as ii was being printed did not
contain the provision in question and he
had It corrected The omission may have
been purely accidental on somebody's part,
of course; but inasmuch as it was known
that certain parties in Montpelier were
strongly opposed to that Identical section
it is not at all surprising that some people
there surmised that the two circumstances
had some connection.

ENDLESS NIGHTS
The Experience OF Woman Who
Could not Sleep.

To lie awake and count the hours, with
never wink Of sleep, or at most only
ftful doze, till it is time to get up-most
people have gone through the experience
once in while. But to have it keep up
night after night-then it is wearing
and, in the end, will undermine the
strongest constitution and reduce the
vitality to low ebb.
Slceplessness has always something Of
disease or undue excitement in it. The
excessive uso Of tea, coffee, tobacco, or
any narcotic, may bring it on. In such
cases, if the patient stop the use of, or
use moro moderately, those sumulants,
he can overcome the trouble. 1t may
como, too, from dyspepsia, general run
down condition of the system, from dis.
ease or insufficient nutrition, fcverish
excitement, too much blood in the head,
etc. In these latter cases medicine that
will feed the nerves and build up and
purify the blood, like DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People is recommended.
That this medicine will accomplish a
cure in such cases has been proven in
