Carlton. The two were old army
omrades having served in the civil
war in Company b sof the Seventh
Kentucky cavalry and this is their
first meeting in nearly forty years
and had lost all trace of'each other.
Mr., Porter relates in vivid way of
the last time he saw Mr., Carltan.
II was at the battle Of West Point,
Georgia, while the company and reg
iment alorg with Others were storm

the company flag ont of the hands of
the culorhearer as he fell with bull
let in his breast, and said, Follow
me. boys and jumped upon the
hreastworks and planted the flag on
top of the breastworks.
Just then cannon ballcame along
and Carlton fell and the staff of the
flag was cut in two, About that
time Porter was put out of the fight
also, and hehad never seen his COM
rade again he supposed that he was
killed when in reality he was only
KIN ocked down by the shock and was
so on on his feet again. This battle
was fought near the close of the war.
A co.incident to Mr.. Porter's visit
and his story of the battle lies in Il e
fact that West Point is the birth
place OF Mayor Hunter and he dis
tinctly remembers the battle and is
also able to relate Incidents connect

Mr.. Porter has been endeavoring
to get pension for some years, but
being unable to prove his claim he
has been unsuccessful. Less than a

Added to School Revenues.
To the Editor of The Republic.

To the Editor of The Republic.
Mexico, Mo-, May 15,-There is one
thing to the credit OF the Democratic
party in the management of the
School Fund of the State that lhave
not seen mentioned in the discussion
Of that subject going on in the pa
pers.
The Democrats in 1889 increased
this amount of schoolmoney distrib-
uted 10y the State from one-fourth-
the minimum required by the Consti-
-trrttfurr- rrTu TTS iTTTrtt ttrVTT upTOTrT0Hed
up to lSS1-to one third of the total
ordinary revenue of he State.
Thus did they not only increase
the school monies by converting
United States bonds bearing low
rate ofinterest into State certificates,
yielding > and 6 per .cent. but set
q hrt nE epaelllent OF successive leg
isiatures, .32'a per cent,sihstead Of 25
per cent, as formerly, Of the State re-
venue for support of the public
schools.
And this, too, while at the same
time lowering the State levy for
ia yes.
This record is a most convincing
proof of Democratic economies in the
State administration and Of the nur-
turing care which the Democratic
party has ever displayed in the up
building of our splendid system of
common schools. G. CLAY.

TWO SECTIONS FOR ONE.
Leasers of Railroad Lands Control A.
ternate Sections.

Denver, April IA Republican spe-
cial from Cheyenne says that an I'M
portant decision was handed down py
the Supreme Court yesterday in the
case of Cosgrff Brothers, wealthy
sheepmen of Fort Steele. plaintiffs In
error, VS.. l. C. Miller. president OF the
Rawlins National Bank, and the FER
ris- -Haggarty Mining Company, also a
leading sheepman of Carbon county,
defendant in error; opinion by Chle1
Justice Potter. Justices Corn and
Knight concurring.
Under the decision. when anyone
leases any area of railroad land he has
absolute control of the alternate gov
ernment sections, or of double the area
for which he pays. Then, too, nomadic
herds cannot be driven across the
lands. The decision practically gives
to the sheepmen who have leased the
railroad lands in the Red Desert coun-
try absolute control of the entire des-
ert.
The matter will be taken to the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, for it is held
to be of national Importance.
Cosgrif Brothers, with others, have
been for many years grazing their
sheep on the public lands forming the
alternate sections with the railroad
lands owned by thes Union Pacific
This is permitted by the laws Of the
United States. Miller leased from the
Union Pacific large tract of railroad
lands in the vicinity Of Fort Steele
This land was not fenced.
During the winter Of 1893 Cosgrifi
Brothers permitted their flocks Of
sheep to Craze upon the unfenced lands
of Mr.. Miller, and the suit for trespass
was instituted by Miller, and judg
ment for $1,000 damages awarded by
the District Court Mt Rawlins. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
Court.
The decision Of the Supreme Court
affirms the Judgment Of the lower cour,
as to damages. and in effect holds thai
the grazing of sheep on the unfenceC
land of another, although such land Is
not marked as to boundary. consti
tutes trespass If the owner of the land
gives notice OF said ownership, and
boundaries. If the owner of the sheer
has knowledge of the fact that sucl
lands are owned by the plaintiff ant
has a general idea Of their location.
Although the decision does not pas.
upon the question Of right-of-way ovel
leased railroad lands. 1t Is thought thai
1t will have the effect to exclude tres
passing to any extent upon leased, un
fenced railroad lands: that is. a person
leasing railroad land acquires, in ef
| feet, absolute control to all the alter
nate government sections.

COLORADO'S GRAND OUTLOOK
FOR UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH

Denver, April 1.-The Republican
thus SUMMARIES the industrial pros
poets Of the state:
Fifty millions to be put in, circula-
ton. This is the immediate outlook In
the state of Colorado. The figures do
not include the output of the mines.
nor of the fields. nor the beet sugar
gardens. They do not contemplate the
ordinary revenues of the business live
stock and manufacturing interest of
the state, nor the millions to be
brought and left in the state by the
summer tourists This is money over
and above all the ordinary additions to
the fund Of cash in the state of Colo
rado.
All over the state railway construc-
ton Is in progress. New roads are
planned and older roads are being eN-
tended to reach new territories. And
in each railway the principal item of
expense will be labOr-and all the
money spent for labor stays in the
state, for 1t is spent with local mer-
chants.
Saying nothing of the immense an
nual addition 10 the money in circula-
tion which will come from the opening
of beet sugar factories in the north
ern part of tie state, there is more
than $4,O0O,OGu now being spent, or
which will be spent, in building and
equipping the factories. Hundreds
of laborers are employed at the works
and in making brick and iron and 9th
er parts of the great buildings, and the
wages paid to al of them add to the
fund of money going from hand TO
hand in the state, contributing to the
era of good times and general prosper
ity.
The packing plant now going up at
the stockyards will cost S2UoOO Just
to build, and that is all that is figured
into the great total. But every dollar
which is put into the bare building and
machinery means that SO which have

Weak and Sickly Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
Of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put ON flesh where health de-
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of vogeler's Curative Compound,
from two to FIVE drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. 1t is the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of great living physician.

RECIPROCITY BILL REPORTED.
Reduction Of Twenty Per Cent. Of
Sugar Imported From Cuba.

Washington, April l.. = Chairman
Payne yesterday presented to the
House the report of the ways and
means committee on the Cuban reci-
procity bill, which the committee had
ordered reported earlier in the day.
After reciting President Roosevelts
recommendation in behalf Of Cuba,
Mr.. Payne says:
Our relations to Cuba are peculiar.
In our declaration of war with Spain,
and ever since, we have solemnly pro-
claimed to the world that our object
was to give Cuba a stable and inde-
pendent government"
The report adds that we are bound
to care for our own people, but after
reviewing the American sugar situa-
ton, says:
1T can work no injury to our indus
try II we make this small reduction IN
Cuban sugars. The enactment Of this
bill will not affect the protection of the
sugar producers of the United States.
There is no reasonable pretense that
the same reduction on other Cuban
products will injure any other Ameri-
can industry"
The report asserts that the planters
and not the refiners will receive the
benefits Of the reduction. and adds:
Cuba does not come simply as a
mendicant, nor should she he treated
as such. She offers good trade in re-
turn. This she is willing to concede.
Under the provisions of the bill. we
should be able TO double the amount OF
our export trade with Cuba. which
amounts to $2SO0O,O00 more than We
obtained in the last fiscal year"
In conclusion, the report says:
"It is happy circumstance that,
without any injury to our own indus
tries, and without the loss of anything
except seven or eight million dollars Of
revenue, which we do not need, we are
able to extend this relief to Cuba and
at the same time get reciprocal trade
relations with her."
