Sixty Cases Of Smallpox.

DR.. II. S. Finney, health officer
for Carbon county, was in town
this morning on his way home
from a visit to Snake river, and
Encampment. He says there are
60 cases of smallpox in the south
ern end of this county. He
says DR.. Burton, of Encampment
was arrested for criminal careless
ness in connection with some of his
smallpox cases but is now out on
bail. AS soon as the witnesses now
in the pest house, are liberated,
the State Medical Board intend to
proceed against him in the mat

Young married couples have to
quarrel SO as to learn not to-.
A woman can love a man of the
most egregious vanity on earth, but
not of meek humility.
When a woman changes her way
of doing up her hair and her husband
doesn't notice it, she knows right
away that he doesn't love her any
more.
The first thing for a man to do
with the woman he marries is to
force her to understand that he is 60

Harvest Of Fossil Bones.

Charles Gilmore of Laramie
aud E. b., Cavell, who have been
at work all summer in the fossil
fields at Medicine Bow for the
Carnegie institute at Pittsburg,
have ceased work for the winter.
The summer netted them about a
carload of fossils, which will be
shipped to Pittsburg. The finds
were numerous and valuable.
though no astonishing results fol
lowed their labors.
Walter Granger, who is Mt work
in the Medicine Bow field for the
American Museum of Natural
History at New York, also has a
carload of fossils to go forward,
but he will remain in the field for
the balance of the month. His
success has been about like that

IN JUSTICE COURT.

The mills of the Gods are rath-
er rusty in Judge Heath's Court
now. The grist which set their
wheels to grinding was the suit of
J. A. Phillips vs. A. j. Chichester,
in the sum of $50, which was
tried by jury last Friday. The
evidence on trial brought out the
following facts. When Chichester
moved to Encampment recently
he made an agreement with A. j.
Phillips whereby he was to have
the handling of all the latters
coal sold in Encampment. 1t was
understood that all private parties
who wished to buy their coal and
haul direct from the mine should
do 80 without the sale being sub
ject to Mr.. Chidester's per cent.
When Mr.. Phillips came to settle
Mr.. Chichester held back a portion
of the money as damage in that
the Encampment Lumber & Trans
portation company had bought if
ty tons for it's own use and also
some for its employees. The jury
rendered a verdict for the plaintiff
in the sum of 1896 and costs.

BATTLE LAKE ITEMS,

The traffic over the Battle Lake
road has been greater the past two
weeks than ever before in the his
tory of the camp. Every day wa
gon loads of laborers are being
conveyed to the Rudefeha, where
there are at present in the neigh
borhood of 100 men at work, tear.
ing down the old buildings, erect
ing new structures and putting
the road in good condition.
The partnership interests of
Thomas and Russell in the firm
of Thomas, Lamb & Russell have
been purchased by j. H. Schmitz
of Denver. The stores at this
place and Rambler will hereafter
be run under the firm name of
Lamb & Schmitz. Messrs. Rus

exclusive attention to their min.
ing interests.
A petition has been widely cir
culated and signed asking the
board OF county commissioners to
declare the road between Grand
Encampment through Battle Lake
to Copperton a county road. At
the present time the road under
the supervision of the county ex-
tends only as far as Encampment,
the road from that place to Battle
and Copperton having heretofore
being kept in condition by means
of private donations. This dis
trict is entitled to the recognition
asked for and the petition will
undoubtedly be allowed when it
comes up for consideration.

they were not there for war.
When pressed for an explanation
IT was discovered that the great
European powers had determined
to dismember China and divide
the country among themselves.
They said: we need a base for
operations in that work and we
thought if the United States did
not want the Philippine Islands,
why we did, When this became
known to the President he saw at
once the immense advantage it
would be to the United States to
retain the Islands and he at once
ordered Dewey to hoist the Amer
lean flag. The rest is known to
all of you.
"Another thing which you peo-
pie do not perhaps realize is that
this western country, these Rocky
Mountain states, are going to be
the greatest wheat producing
countries on earth. China has
inbred her rice for so many CEN
turtles that it is beginning to lose
its power as a life sustaining food.
She is even now casting around
for a wheat supply, having deter
mined to substitute wheat for rice
as a national food. The only
country that is capable of raising
the vast quantities of wheat that
will be required is these Rocky
Mountain states, and that by
means of irrigation. You can
readily see that this is going to
make your Western states the
greatest and most prosperous em-
pire on earth. Perhaps you can
now understand why all the great
trunk lines r building west,

husiastic political meeting eve
held in Saratoga took place at
Densen's Opera House last Satur-
Ray evening. Fully 500 people
gathered in the hall and manifest
ed the livehest interest in the
bpeech of Col. Schoonmaker, which
lasted an hour and fifty minutes.
The weather was perfect and a
full moon shed it's soft and lumin-
BUS rays over the scene. Many
people from the surrounding coun-
Try were present, as well as a very
large turnout from the town and
bill expressed themselves as very
much pleased with the speech.
Col. Schoonmaker is a remarka-
bic man. He is the inventor or
originator of the present method
pf gathering news known as the
Associated Press. He was, for II
years, the foreign correspondent
pf that association and is said to
be the best posted man on foreign
hfairs in the United States.

was of greatest interest. More

Tariff and the remedy which
President Roosevelt would apply
10 the former TO prevent their
running the country, were master
III efforts and convinced his audi
.ence that he not only knew what
he was talking about, but that the
explanation and remedy were the
correct ones.
In speaking of the PHILIPPINE
Islands he gave conclusive reas-
ms why the United States should
etain them. Said he:
"When the Maine was blown up
ID the harbor of Havana the en-
tire American nation clamored
for war, and were quite impatient

ley in opening hostilities, At
tbat time Dewey's fleet was in the
iharbor at Hong Kong, with only
Two rounds of ammunition. He'd
var been declared he would have
been, by the law of nations, CON-
pelled to put to sea, an event
which the Spanish would have
taken advantage of and complete
'ly destroyed his feet. Mckinley
had trains loaded with amuni-
ktion in the dead Of night and hur-
ried across the United States, to
San Francisco, where it was again
loaded on ships at night, TO pre-
vent attracting attention, and
rushed across the Pacific ocean to
Hong Kong, and loaded on Dew
.ey's ships. Two days after Presi-
dent Mckinley had received word
from Dewey that he was all ready,
war with Spain a declared.
During all this hurry of prepare

dell. 1t was a great bonor and
one that is seldom accorded to
any but old and seasoned veterans
of Congress. Therefore I wish to
urge upon every voter in this au-
dience to support Mondell. He
is the man the President trusts
and who can do a thousand times
more for your young state in Con-
gress than any other man you
could possibly send there. Mr..
Mondell is in every way worthy
Of your trust and confidence and
it would be the sheerest folly to
think of substituting any other
for him, at this time, too,
when your state needs a steady
hand and a watchful eye in the
halls of congress-"
In speaking of Trusts Colonel
Schoonmaker said:
"China had a written language
240O years before the birth of
Christ. She is full of Trusts and
has been ever since her historians
began to chronicle the nations
events. She has an egg-gather-
ing trust, an incubator trust and
chicken trust. Not an egg can
be gathered except under the egg
gathering trust. Not an egg can
be hatched except under the in
cubator trust and not a chicken
handled without the authority of
the chicken trust. So you see
that America is not the only coun-
try of trusts. Neither are these
trusts the result, as our democrat
ic friends declare, of the tariff,
for England, which is a free taade
country, has always had trusts.
"Now, President Roosevelt has
a plan to handle the Trusts which
1 think will work. The great
trouble with Trusts is the water
in their stock. So long as they
confne themselves to legitimate
representation Of capital, SO long
as a share of stock represents a
dollar of money actually invested,
there can be but little danger.
Now, President Roosevelt propos
es to ask Congress to make the
law governing National banks ap-
plicable to every corporation that
does business in more than one
In the matter of National
before a bank can begin
business under the National Bank
the Government sends a mar
to count the money, and for every
dollar of money issued in stock
there must be a dollar in the bank.
Not only is this done at the COM
mencement of business, but every
once in a while the Government
sends a ms to inspect the bust
ness and to e that there is no
water in the stock; that is, to see
that they do not issue more mon-
ay than they are entitled to, or
more stock than their capital calls
for.
ain this way, and in this way
only, is it possible to control the
This plan is the one
which President Roosevelt pro-
poses to put in operation if you
people stand by him and send
such men as Frank w. Mondell
TO help him. Great things are in
store for your country. Make no
mistake about whom you choose
your congressman and l am
quite sure that, so long as you
choose Frank W. Mondell to re-
present you in the lower house of
congress, you will make no mis-
lake. Senators Warren and Clark
are two of the ablest men in the
