PROFESSOR CEASES LECTURE.
Concluding One in the Sheffield Course
 Last Night.

Last Night.
 The concluding lecture of the Sheffield course was given by Professor Chase
 in North Sheffield hall last evening to very large audience. The lecture was superby illustrated by lantern slides and the professors acknowledged abil- ity both as an astronomer and lecturer made the evening one long to be re- membered by those present. The lee turer gave brief resume of the ctn- dition Of astronomical knowledge a hundred years ago Abiding to the momentous discoveries made during the last century and the part of Amer ica in them; also to the fact that there are 200 observatories and stations for study of astronomy in the United observatory takes no inferior place among them. His illustrations of the working plant of the Yale observatory and his reference to the able workers there, Dr. Elkins and Professor M. r. Smith, was enjoyed by friends of those gentlemen. But the amazing figures as to time and distances used in this sci ence were simply beyond the cornpre- hension of common folks. The views were great and the atmosphere of the lecture room was greater. The remark of the lecturer that in ten million years the sun will have lost the power of sus- taining life on the earth sent a chill of apprehension down the spinal col umn of more than one nearer

EAST INDIAN BREATHING EXER-
 CISES

The Indian sages do not practice theil breathing exercises simply for the sake of repose and sleep. During the in- breathing energy is increased, These Indians are not the only people who be- lieve that with the in-breathing of pure air there comes something still more vital than oxygen; but the Indians have developed the art of breathing more than any other people. One of their fla vorite exercises is to inhale through the left nostril to hold the breath for a time, and then exhale through the rigbt nostril. Another of their exercises is to drink water through the nostrils, and after it has been retained for short time it is expelled through the nostrils and the mouth This is said to cool the head.-Chambers Journal.

 The Molly Pitcher" of Glen McDon- ough's play of that name, in which Kathryn Kidder will be seen tonight at the Hyperion, is not always the grim visaged woman that is pictured in the portraits of the heroine of the battle or Monmouth. The stage Molly Pitcher is very lively individual who keeps the audience during the first three acts of the piece in a constant roar of mer- rment. Miss Kidder has always ex- celled in comedy and up to this season achieved the greatest success of her ca reer as the humorous Madame Sans Gene" In the last act of Molly Pitch CT" however, the scene of which is laid on the battlefield of Monmouth, Miss Kidder is said to rise to the stern bravery of the occasion. She realisti- cally depicts the heroism of the historic Molly by taking gunner's place at the cannon and loading and firing the field piece throughout the engagement. Miss Kidders acting during this scene is said to be nothing short of magnifi- cent It leaves an impression on the

ty thousand people. All it needs to
make it one of the most productive
regions liz the West is water. That
it will have, under the canal which
we prosose to construct. / expect to
see the time when all the land be-
tween the North Platte river and the
mountains will be covered with farms
and waving grain, and meadows will
take the place of the brown and un-
inviting sage brush which now car
pets the land.
This valley has one supreme ad
vantage from an irrigation standpoint,
and that is, its command of water its
supply. 1t lies at the fountain head,
as it were. There is nothing above
it-no country which can lay claim to
the waters of either Brush creek or
the North Platte river. The North
Park country, where the North Platte
river rises, is of limited area and it will
never be an agricultural country be-
yond the raising of hay. Consequent
ly we have nothing to fear in the way
of some other country above us de-
handing the use of the waters of the
Platte river and thus shutting us
out"
Mr.. Clampet is a business man of
great ability and far seeing faculties
and his forecast of the future of this
country is not overdrawn-is fact the
picture of what this country will be
in a few years from now could not
be well overdrawn, and we are of the
opinion that there are very many
people right here in Saratoga, who
have not the f~aintest conception of
the future of this valley.

Candidates are in evidence already,
from S~weetwater county, for the con
g%ressional nomination and for the APP
pointive position of United States
marshal Mr.. Hay desiring to sue
coed Frank Mondell and Mr.. Hamil-
ton aspiring to fill Frank Hadsell's
shoes. S~weetwater deserves a place,
somewhere, and hope she'll get it in
the next deal-as she would at the
last convention had her representa-
tives been willing to take their hands
out of each others hair and get to-
gether. But-she should guess again.
Mondell is still on duty at Washing
ton as we go to press, and if he has
ever missed a roll-call or failed to
stand up for Wyoming whenever oc-
casion offered, the fact is not of rec
ord. Everybody knows that the val
ne OF "A congressional Representative de-
ponds as much upon his term of ser

states recognize this fact, and profit

lazy, or shown any symptoms of

with his services; but he didn't and
he hasn't. He is worth more to the

Eugene E. Skiver, Aaron d. Rob-

the Medicine Bow Valley Monday on
land business. Mr.. Roberts is an old
timer having come to this country in
1877. He says he could have, at that
time, taken a homestead right in the
heart of Denver.
James Fisher, who is a resident of
Carbon, is also an old timer, having
come to this country in 1878. Nh.
Fisher is quite a prominent citizen of
Carbon, owning d livery and feed sta
BILE there and also being the mail con-
tracter on the route between Carbon
and Widdowfield. He is also deputy
road supervisor at this time and as
pires to be nominated for that office
at the coming republican county con-
vention next fall. He is a man who
stands very high in the estimation of
the people of his country and would,
if nominated, carry his whole country
over there almost solid. He is a man
of practical experience in road bust
ness and would be one of the best
men that could be found for that off
ce in the entire country. We hope
he will receive the nomination.

Surveying a County Road.

County Surveyor, j. @. Kennedy,
left Tuesday. with u crew of men to
make a survey of a county road from
Walcott to this place, in accordance
with directions from the Board of
County Commissioners at their last
meeting. The Union Pacific road in
formed the Board that it desired
them to have a strip of land, a half a
mile in width, surveyed by the coun-
ty, from Walcott to Saratoga, which
strip would be reserved from sale and
left as a county road and "A public
highway over which to drive stock.
Mr.. Kennedy says the survey will fol-
low the present road to Pass creek,
but that it will bear to the west of
the. present road in going south sufii-
cient to avoid the two large gulches
which it now crosses. 1t will also
follow the old Bennett Ferry road for
a short distance, when it will follow a
ridge, parallel with the present road,
coming into it again at a point a mile
or so this side of the Home Comfort
Ranch owned by l.. c. Cook. From
there on it will follow the old road.
A map of this survey will be filed
with the Union Pacific Land Depart
ment and they will reserve the strip
from sale.
II. A. Kincaid and son Harry, Will
liam Norell and H.. l.. Odell are the
mel who have been employed in the
survey.

Range Sheep Very Poor.

Range sheep are said to be very
poor this spring, owing to the over
stocking of the range. There were
said to be nearly three times the
sheep on the Red Desert this past
winter than it contained feed for and
the consequence is that all the sheep
are in a very poor condition and will
have to face the spring storms with
but little flesh.
All sheepmen agree that never be
fore, in the history of that industry,
have their sheep come out of a winter
in a worse condition than the one
just passed. When shearing and
Landing time comes there will be
much loss in case there are any cold
spring storms, such as we usually
have at that time of the year. In
case there are any unusually hard
storms after shearing the result will
be disastrous to many fockmasters.

ELK MOUNTAIN
TRAGEDY OF 1878.
A Monument Erected to the Memory Of
WiddowAeld and Vincent, who Were
Killed There by Fleeing Train Rob-
bers on the 18th Day Of August. 1879.

Not very many of the residents of
this valley know anything of the ter
rible tragedy which occurred in Rat
tie Snake Canon, on the west side of
Elk Mountain on the 10Th day of Au-
gust. 1878, whereby Thomas Widow.
field and Edward Vincent lost their
lives. Train robbers had removed
the spikes from a rail about a mile
east of Medicine Bow station. and
were lying in wait for No. 3, the ex-
press car of which they expected to
rob. The rail was discovered by the
section foreman returning from work
and the robbers fed to Elk Mountain,
taking refuge in the fastness of Rattle
Snake Canon, to which place they were
trailed by Widdowfield and Vincent.
These men came onto the burning
camp fire of the would be train rob.
bers who shot them from their con
cealment in the brush.
james Fisher, of Carbon, whose
wife was a sister of Thomas Widow
field, erected IA monument of sand
stone over the spot where the men
fell and every year, on the 18th day
August, he repairs to the spot and re-
kindles the camp fire on the same
spot and crowns the monument with
flowers, in remembrance of the men
who died there.
