Scarlet Fever Situation.

The scarlet fever situation remains
in statu quo. Lew. Carroll came
down from Encampment last Thurs
day suffering with the disease. He
was placed in a small cottage on the
east side of the river and quarantin.
ed. He came down in the stage, not
knowing what his trouble was, but, as
there is no danger of infection until
after the patient begins to peel off,
there is not the slightest danger that
any one who came in contact with
him will take the fever.
The little girl of Flavel Curtis is
doing very nicely. The youngest
Curtis child, a baby 6 months old
now has the fever, but will probably
come out of it all right owing to the
fact that the other child had the few,

INCORPORATED.
The Kuykendall-wilson Development
Company and the Brush Greek Ditch
Company. the Former for 81, 500, 900 and
the Latter for 500, ooo. File Papers.

The incorporation papers of the
Kuykendall-W wilson Development
Company and the Brush Creek Ditch
Company were filed in the office of
the Secretary of State, in Cheyenne,
last Monday, by Lacey & Vandevant-
er, their attorneys. The first compa-
ny is organized for the purpose of
constructing the ditch and reservoirs
and its stock is dividend paying, and
there are 100000 worth of the stock
in the treasury, the proceeds of which
is to be available for construction
work. The officers of the company
are: j. w. Wilson, President; W. L.
K%uykendall, vice-President; j. NJ.
Kuykendall Treasurer and II. l..
Kuykendall Secretary and General
Manager.
The Brush Creek Ditch Company
is differed by the same men and in
the same manner, and its stock is
composed of 100000, divided into
10000 shares of $40. each of non divi-
dend paying stock. Each share calls
for an interest in the ditch equal to
an amount of water that will water
one acre of land.
The ditch which the company will
begin on will not be the large ditch
out of the North Platte river, but one
out of Brush creek, which will cover
an area of 10000 acres. Whether
they will purchase an interest in the
Sterrett canal and enlarge it, or fol
low the Boutwell, survey has not been
fully determined on. Two reservoir
sites have been selected and the work
of running a preliminary survey will
be begun very shortly. The North
Platte ditch is reserved for a later
period, but will be built by the same
company.

LIKES SARATOGA.
Dr.. Stevens, Of Laramie, Who Visits sar-
atoga, Has Much to Say in Its Praise
Thinks the Hot Springs Water Here
Wonderful.

DIR. Stevens, who was called to Sar-
atoga last week, in consultation with
DIR. Burke, over DR.. Smither, was in
terviewed by the Republican on his
return home and has many nice
things to say of this place, from
which we clip the following:
at is interesting to note DR.. Ste
vens' comment on the trip and his
first visit to Saratoga. He says he
was quite agreeably surprised to find
so nice a little city nesting among
the hills and SO full of life and hustle.
He took a bath in the waters of the
hot springs, and so delighted was he
that he will send his rheumatic and
other. patients to them for the sake of
the hot baths. The water comes boil
ing up from the ground at a tempera-
ture of e N hundred degrees and
cooled by water taken from the same
springs and cooled in tanks.
The doctor met Harry Galbraith,
the manager of the Hot Springs hotel
and got from him some facts in con-
nection with the house. The hotel is
three stories high, has accommoda-
tons for 100 guests, with a two story
kitchen. Three cottages have just
been finished within a hundred yards
of the hotel. An old Laramie chef,
Jack Verne, presides in the kitchen
and in the fishing season, while the
breakfast is cooking on the range,
steps just outside the kitchen door
and catches a nest of trout out Of
the Platte river. Henry Miller, jew
eler Adams, Joe Hines, jr., and other
Laramieites are there in business.
The hotel company, the doctor
says, is at present driving a tunnel
through $50 feet of solid rock and
when that is finished a stream of wa.
ter will be kept running around the
hotel all the time.
Dr. says slx-horse Concord
stages leave Walcott every morning al
Z o'clock for Grand Encampment
reaching Saratoga en- route, and there
is a good deal of travel to the hot
springs, where rheumatism, both
chronic and acute, are treated, and
that any case of acute rheumatism
that does not yield to the cure in
twenty-one days is considered incur
able.
DR.. Stevens says that section has q
woman freighter, Mrs. Ferris, who
drives a six-horse team, loads her OWL
wagons, harnesses her own teams and
attends to her business as v,ll as {
man could and better than a good
many men he has seen.

Has Net Sold Timber.

Frank E. Coe, the tie man, was up
from Omaha this week, to look after
a contest which has been instituted
against some of his timber land on
which he had laid script, the testl-
mony having been ordered before U.
S. Commissioner ]. F. Crawford at
this place. 1t was recently reported
that Mr.. Coe had sold all of his tim
Der in the Brush and Mullin creek
countries to j. G. Teller. Mr.. Coe
denies this and says he has not sold
any of the land, nor does he intend
to do so, but will retain it and, at
some future time, cut the timber
from it.

Wolves Troublesome.

Grey wolves are troubling the
Brush creek stockmen this winter.
They killed four head of cattle for Ca
leb A. Cook some weeks ago and have
done much damage in other parts.
There has been a number of these
pests seen on that creek the past two
or three months. Last week William
Turnbull took his pack Of hounds up
there and he and Jesse Barkhurst and
the nnchmen engaged in a two days
hunt for the vicious brutes. They
saw four wolves but were not success
full in catching any. The only re-
suits of the trip was a bob cat.

Distinguished Guests.

DIR. 2. L. Baldwin of Niles Mich,
President of the Colorado Copper Co.
of Pearl Colo, accompanied by DR.,
o. Carter of Budamon, Mich, and H.
A. Hathaway, London Eng, passed
through here Tuesday on the return
trip from Pearl, and stopped at the
Hot Springs Hotel. Their Wolverine
properties at Pearl carry gold, silver,
lead and copper and promise good
values. They will put in machinery
in the spring.

Smallpox at the Pen.

Among the prisoners recently
brought from Sheridan county was
found to be one afflicted with small
pox. As soon as the case was discov-
cred the prisoner was placed in the
pest house under guard and all who
had come in contact with him were
isolated, the entire building fumigat-
ed and everything done to counteract
the spread of the disease in the peni-
tertiary. 1t is believed that there is
little or no danger of infection in that
institution.

Louisiana Purchase Commission.

Governor Richards has appointed a
commission to look after Wyoming's
interest at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition. 1t consists of Hon. E.
A. Slack, of the Cheyenne Daily
Leader, Robert Fl. Homer of Lara
mic, DR.. Salathe of Casper, Prof.
Nelson of the Wyoming University
and H. c. Beeler, state geologist.
The commission is a good one and
Wyoming's interest is in good hands.

A Correction.

Mrs. Perry Wagner called at The
Sun office this week and states that
the report that she had been the
means of spreading scarlet fever in
the families of Mr.. Want and Mrs.
Jones is not true. She says she
did any washing for Mrs. Wi
ant, nor was she at her house. She
says that, while she did wash for Mrs
Jones, she was never out of her own
house after her boy was taken with
the fever until released from the
quarantine. Therefore she could moi
have been the means of taking the
disease to either house.

School 70 Open.

School did not open Monday, as

Chairman Knapp and Commissioners
F'ifer and Prouty were on the bench

pose of investigating the allegation
made by the live stock exchange that
the rate on live stock is proportionately
higher than the dressed beef rate from
the Missouri river east. the same being
q discrimination unjust toChicago pack
ers and live stock men. The following

said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I am to say

said than has been said already by those
who have addressed you this afternoon
the statesmen who worked with Nc

exponent of good and strong govern
ment who died last fall, who died as
truly for this country as Abraham Lin
coin himself.
Il thank you for having given me the
opportunity this afternoon to come be-
fore you and lay the corner stone Of
this building"
The president then, with a trowel in
hand, threw in the morton and the stone
was lowered slowly into position. At
some later date it will be raised suff1-

a number of relics in the zinc box with
