The Dog Poisoner.

About once a year the dog poisoner
breaks loose in this town and takes
the lives of a number of CANNES. II
would not be so bad if he caught on
ly the worthless and disreputable
dogs, but it is oftener hat he gathers
the very best CANNES in the town in
stead of the worst. He made his APP
pearance here a few days ago and the
result is that four dogs and any num-
Der of cats have gone cover the
road"
FATTY" the restaurant man, lost Il
valuable old cat and MI. Want lost
sever fine f%elines, which he had rais-
ed and kept on his ranch to catch
squirrels and prairie dogs. They had
been brought to town for the winter
and were being carefully fed and
kept in good condition for. their work
in the spring. Many others have lost
valuable cats, and any number of
dogs now go around wearing muzzles
to prevent them picking up poisoned
bits of meat.
There is hardly any name low
enough, or punishment severe enough
for the fiend who will do such work.
He would gladly serve mankind the
same way if he dared to do so. He
is a very mysterious individual and
and keeps his identity safely conceal
ed, or he would get swift and sure
punishment from the hands of some
of the owners of lost dogs.

Sheriff Mcdaniel left this morning
for Kansas City with requisition pap
ers for one Harry Adams who is wan
ted to answer the charges of forgery.
Adams vas formerly employed as a
bartender in G.. w. Plummer's saloon
in Saratoga and forged Mr.. Plum
mer's name TO three checks on the
Saratoga State bank and left the
country. Two Of the checks were
passed at Encampment and one at
Fort Steele. The respective amounts
were $50, $3.50 and S25.
Sheriff Mcdaniel learned of Adams
presence in Kansas City where he
was receiving mail under an assumed
name, and telegraphed "a description
to the chief of police who arrested
him.-Rawlins Republican.

Ian Maclaren On Mothers.

Ian Maclaren, in the Christian En-
deavor World, pays the following
beautiful tribute to mothers:
The person to whom you owe
o than you can ever pay, or even
imagine, is your mother. She endur-
ed for you, served you more pa
tiently, loved you more fondly,
thought of you more constantly, and
hoped for you more bravely, than any
other person you have known on
earth, OF ever will know, save your
wife or your husband, if, indeed, they
can always be excepted. If your mo-
ther be spared to you, then are you
bound to make her a first charge on
your life, as you desire a peaceful
conscience, and as you shall answer
before the judgement seat of God.
She must be encompassed with every
observance of comfort and honor, and
gentleness and love, with sacrifices,
also, if so be il will please her, of
tastes and occupations and time, and
ever friendships, and after you have
done all that you can think of, and
any n can suggest, you will still re-
main a hopeless bankrupt for the love
wherewith she loved YOU"

Saratoga's Sensation.

Saratoga is in the throes of a social
sensation which has set the commun-
ity by the ears and may possibly
drive Deacon Crawford and a lot of
other good men, who value peace and
quiet above all else, to drink. Ten
young buds of the town agreed
among themselves to attend a recent
masquerade in costumes exactly
alike-and they did. These COS
tunes were on the sheet-and-pillow-
case order, and the identity of the
young ladies being effectually shrou-
ded in mystery they turned them
selves loose a. mischievous maidens
sometimes must and had a heap of
fup. But when the sweet things I'M
masked, two of them proved to be of
the gender best suited to britchiloons
end galusses-two of their number
having loaned their costumes to a
couple of young fellows of similar
size. The boys had played girl to
perfection; had chummed with them
to the queens taste-to the extent,
even, of participating in a dressing
room trough house, had ohligingly
stuck a pin here and fastened a buck
lie there and otherwise made them
selves useful to that extent that when
their identity was revealed it cut a
cash in local social circles which do
esn't seem to neal up very fast.-Bill
Barlow in Budget.

The Ice Harvest.

The ice harvest is being gathered
and a number of teams are engaged
in hauling it in and storing it away
in the different ice houses throughout
the town. A small portion of the
crop is being taken from the slough
just north of the Hot Springs Hotel,
where a fair quality of ice is had, but
the best and clearest comes from the
ice hole on the ranch of j. F. Craw-
ford, where it is Is inches in thick
ness and as clear as crystal. Consid-
ering the very warm weather of the
present month Is inches is better
than any had expected.

The Value Of a Weekly Paper.

Did you eve stop to think what a
tireless and steady letter writer a
good local paper is? Week after
week, reaching into years, it goes on
telling of marriages, births and
deaths, the coming and going of your
town the business and fail
ures, the incidents, crops, improve
ments, parties, REVEALS, meetings, Soc
ails, in fact events of all kinds. All is
grist that comes to the hopper of a good
local paper. Why, if you were to un-
dertake to write a letter each week to
your absent friend and tell half the
news your local paper gives, you
would soon give up in despair. The
supposed pleasure would become a
tiresome bore. The letters would
grow shorter and shorter, further
apart, and finally cease entirely.
Why the difference7 Because with
the newspaperman it is business.
People in a live town recognize this
and take pleasure in giving the editor
news items that you would never
learn.-Ex.

FIFTY TONS PER DAY.
The Ferris-Haggarty Mine row Running
With a Full Grew Of Men--ore Being
Hauled Down to the Transfer on the
Old Ferris-Haggarty Ore Road and on
to ~Enoampment.

The Ferris Haggarty mine is once
o in operation and is producing
about fifty tons per day. They have
a crew of about fifty men at work
there and the Grand Encampment
Transportation Company is hauling
the product of the mine to the En-
campment smelter.
The work of transporting the ore
from the mine to the transfer is by
means of sleds, to which are attached
four horses. From the transfer to
the smelter six horse wagon teams
are used. The company has about
1000 cords of wood cut and piled by
the side of the road and the sled
teams are loaded back with this wood
for the use of the engines at the
mine.
The work of driving the tunnel
continues steadily and it is thought it
will be finished by the time the
spring opens up again. They are
now in between 800 and 900 feet.
Hon. L. G. Miller, the president of
the company, who went up last week
to look after the working of the mine ,
is expected back today.

Cemetery Being Fenced.

Mrs. Pennock, the proprietor of the
grounds where the cemetery is situat-
ed, is having the same enclosed by a
substantial wire fence. The posts
have been peeled and present a res
pectable appearance. Mrs. Pennock
Is also having the sage brush cleaned
out of the streets and the grounds
generally gone over and cleaned up.
The change in the grounds is very
marked and the cemetery can now be
made a very pleasant appearing place.

Bennett Benefit Supper a Success.

The supper given at the residence
Of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. FL. Barkhurst last
Friday evening, for the benefit of
Rev. Robinson, was a very great sue
cess, S25:50 being realized. The
Brush creek people are a very liberal
hearted people and do nothing by
halves. We suggest that Collins and
Saratoga do something of the same
kind now for there is not the slightest
doubt but what Mr.. Robinson is in
great need.

Concerning Mrs. Reynolds.

A few months ago, when The Re,
publican and Postmaster Beltz sue
ceeded in finding the Scariwoda girls.
who had inherited a sum of money
from their brother, it was learned that
one of the girls resided with her hus-
band at Saratoga. Now certain ladies
of Laramie have interested themselves
in the case to complete the legal iden-
LITIGATION necessary to obtain posses
sion OF the money. The Saratoga
lady, when the news of her brothers
death came to her, was nursing her
husband through a sever spell of
illness and could give the legacy lit
tie attention. 1t is believed that the
money, amounting to nearly $500 for
each Of the sisters, will soon be turn
ed Eel to them.-Laramie Republi-

Joseph Moody Returns.

Joseph Moody returned from Deca-
tur, Arkansas, to which point he took
the remains of his brother, who froze
to death on the 18th of December.
Mr.. Moody says that the Pacific
Sheep Company, for whom his broth
er was working, and in the preserva-
ton of whose property he lost his
life, did not offer to pay any of the
funeral expenses or in any way show
they appreciated the devotion of the
man who died'in their employ. This
is another illustration of the fact that
COMBINATIONS have no souls.n

SCARLET FEVER QUARANTINE.
We're the Laws Violated in the Discharge
Of Lou. carroll--Mattsr to be Tnvesti-
gated by the Health Board.

Lou. Carroll came down from En-
campment a couple of weeks ago, ill
and, after being examined by a ply
stefan, his case was pronounced scar
let fever. He was at once placed in
one of the small cottages at the Hot
Springs Hotel and quarantiDed. DIR.
Green administered medical attend
ance. Last Sunday DIR. Green, after
bathing and thoroughly fumigating
his patient, allowed him to leave for
Ei'campment on the stage. 1t now
%transpires that he was not kept in
quarantine for the length of time re-
quired by law.
DIR. Green, when e in regard to
the matter, said that Carroll had the
fever very lightly, that it could hard
ly be called scarlet fever, that it was
more like scarletina than scarlet fe-
yer, that he had entirely peeled off
and that he did not consider that
there was a particle of danger in al
lowing him to leave quarantine. AL
so that he had notified Mayor Glenn
mons that he intended to turn Carroll
loose.
The State Health Board, which has
all such matters in charge, has an off
icer here now in the person of DIR.
Burke. 1t seems that this officer is
the only one who has any authority
to let persons out of quarantine and
that no n has the power, nor
have the city authorities any power,
to let any one out of quarantine.
The Health Board has taken the mat
ter up and will investigate the sub
ject thoroughly. The rules in regard
to infectious diseases. are very strict
and it is commended that they must be
observed very carefully, otherwise
there will be no possibility of stamp
ing out the contagion.

may MEAN A RAILROAD,


Last Sunday afternoon a rig, con-
tanning President H. G.. Burt of the
Union Pacific road, Superintendent
w. l.. Park and Chief engineer j. B.
Berry. They stopped at the Hotel
Wolf and, after interviewing a mum.
Der of our prominent citizens, left for
Walcott early Monday morning.
1t was their intention, when they
first arrived, to go on up to Pearl and
Pinkhampton and across the Medi-
line Bow range to Laramie. But the
storm which sat in here Monday mor
ming scared them out and they made
a bee line for Walcott.
While nothing definite is known of
their purpose in visiting this place
at this time, it is easy to surmise
that their object was to look the coun-
try over preparatory to building a
road up this valley in the spring.
There can be but little doubt but
what it is the intention of the com.
pany to build the Saratoga branch
this coming spring or summer, as all
things tend that way; and there can
be but little doubt but it will build
straight up the North Platte river, in
to North Park and over into Route
county, Colorado.

The BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING.
sumter's yigiIant and Ever Active
Advertising Bureau.

Columbia, July 23.-Here is the re-
suit of publicity and wide-awake
city official who keeps up with the
papers and profits by the poverty of
the State in advertising matter:
Sumter,ES. c., July p, 1902.
His Excellency, Governor M. B.
McSweeney, Columbia, S. C.-Dear
Sir: Having read the letter Of Mr..
Orville G. Wales, asking about in
dustrial opportunities in certain
counties in this State, I have sent
Mr.. Wales some printed literature
about Sumter County, and, as l do
not know his street and number, Or
postofhce box number take the iber-
ty of enclosing the letter to you, and
requesting that you supply the proper
business address for me and mail same.
am also in correspondence with
Mr.. J. j. Reason, of Gallatin, Pa,
and Mr.. j. NJ. Clark, of Crofton, Pa,
as result of your admirable plan of
publishing the letters in the "Rewspa-
pers from individuals seeking infor-
nation about our State. Your plan of
publishing these letters Of inquiry
gives every section of the State an op-
portunity of presenting its advant-
ages to prospective home-seekers and is
beyond doubt wise plan. It is, how
ever, characteristic of your admins
tration as Governor to do all in your
power to advertise and advance the
interest of South Carolina, and your
capable business administration of
the Office of Chief Executive, together
with the Charleston Exposition have
done a great deal for this State. Hop
ing that you will continue to give the
press the information referred, to, I
remain, E. I. Reardon.
