Marss Chan.

The entertainment given last
Saturday evening in the Jensen
Opera House, under the auspices
of the Y. p. s. G. E., was a very
successful affair: both financially
and socially, something like 1913
being realized after all expenses
were paid.
The entertainment consisted of
an illustrated story. "Marse
Chan" a wal time story written
by Thomas Nelson Page, was
read by Judge Blood, and illus
trated with tsbleaux. Judge
Blood is an excellent elocutionist,
and the tableaux were carefully
arranged, making the evening a
very pleasant one for all who at
tended.
The Y. p. S. G. L. wish to ex-
press their thanks to the different
ones who kindly assisted them
during the entertainment, and to
especially thank Judge Blood, w.
r. Bradford, and the musicians.

Mowry.Msttlsr

Tuesday evening a very quiet
wedding took place at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs w. 81.
Large, jr., at which Otis Mowry
and Miss Grace Mettler were
united in marriage, Rev. Hape-
man officiating. The ceremony
was performed at 5 O'Clock p. m,
after which a fine wedding supper
was served the bride and groom
and the very few friends who
were present.
The groom is a son of Earls
Mowry, and interested with his
father in the ranch business. He
has lived in the Spring creek
country for a number of years,
and although a very quiet young
man, has won the respect and es-
teen Of all who have known or
dealt with him.
The bride has been staying with
the family of j. G.. Brewer the
past summer and is very highly
spoken of by her many friends.

up their residence on Spring
creek, where the groom has re-

A Mistaken idea.

There seems to be a general i'm
preston that many of the large
cattlemen are behind Horn aud
approve of his murderous meth
DDS, even contributing to his de-
Tense, as we'll as assisting to pay
him for his nefarious work. This
is wide of the mark. Outside of
John @. Coble there is perhaps
not another cattleman, large or
or small, that is interested in
Horu's defense. In fact there is
not the slightest sympathy for
Horn or his hacker among the
great majority of cattlemen
throughout the state and we are
sure we voice their sentiments
when we say that they are just as
glad to e Horn convicted as are
the rest of the people. Law and
order means just as much to them
as it does to the rest of the state
and it is unjust to make the whole
sale C har ge at the big cattlemen
r hand and glove with Coble in
supporting Horn.

Mr.. Mondell.

1t is a well known axiom, and
one that every business man fol-
lows, never to discharge a man
who makes himself useful to his
employer. The same rule ought
to hold good in politics.
Mr.. Mondell has rendered sig
nal service to Wyoming during
his tenure of Office in congress,
has faithfully represented the in
terests of his state, and has made
himself felt as a power among his
associates, and for that reason he
ought to be reelected, SO that the
influence he can WELD may not
be lost to this state.

chased the Record newspaper,

list, goodwill, etc. The first of
this week we purchased the entire
outfit of type presses, etc, and
will shortly move the material to
this Office. We will have one of
the most complete newspaper and
job offices in the state as soon as
the two are combined. There
never has been room in this town
for two newspapers, there being
scarcely enough business to sup
port one and the failure of the
Record to make a living is only
natural. There is an inclination
to overcrowd the newspaper bust
hess everywhere and we would adj
wise newspaper men to go Glow.
There is no business that is more
~harrassing and unsatisfactory,

than there are which are making

PLEASING PROSPECTS.
The Republican Party will Sweep the
stats-The Democratic Ticket . Dis
Outraged one

S-
The Republicans of Wyoming
have a right to rejoice over the
political and material prospects
which smile on them from every
county in the state. The present
outlook indicates a sweeping ma
jority in everyone Of the thirteen
counties. The people have conf
dence in the party that does
things and where their interests
are concerned they will not toler-
ate any other political organiza-
ton. 1t now looks as if the Re-
publican ticket will receive an
unprecedented majority. Men
who have the reputation of being
conservative in judgement claim
that Congressman Mondell will
receive quite two-thirds of all the
votes cast for Congressman on
November 4th.
The Republican state ticket
will also receive a big round ma
jority, There is an old saying
that if you want your political
party to succeed you must nomin-
ate good men. This old precept
was observed by the delegates to
the Republican State Conven-
ton when they re-nominated Gov
ernor Richards, Secretary of State
Chatterton, State Auditor Grant
and nominated for State Treasur-
er that able financier, Henry G.
Hay.
The Democratic candidates were
selected and nominated simply to
keep up the organization, and no
well informed member of that
party in the state will pretend
that there was ever a thought or q
hope of electing any man on the
ticket. The candidates were
solemnlv pledged at the State
Convention to go through the
form of making a campaign and
were advised to trust to future
political opportunities for their
reward for the labor performed
in this HOPELESS year for the Dem
cratic party. In a sort of a half
hearted way their candidate for
Governor has canvassed a portion
of the state but in no place has
his presence caused any enthusi-
asm, even among the faithful.
He has held some meetings but
for the most part the attendance
has been exceedingly slim. He
was made to feel that in Wyoming
the way of the Democratic candi-
date for Governor is a hard road
to travel.
The Democratic candidate for
Congress became h-artsick and
hopelessly discouraged in the
early party of the campaign and
returned to his home. Everyone
of their candidates was handicap
ped by feeling and knowing that
when they entered the campaign
they left hope behind.

A Defective ARGUMENT.
The Cheyenne Leader Shows up the Rot
tsnness Of stickLsy's Railroad Argu-
ment.

Mr.. Stickney, the candidate on
the Democratic ticket for secre-
tary of state, is out making what
he calls political speeches. He
goes into a labored argument to
show that the railroad companies
OF this state are not paying
enough tax and this is the way he
proves it. He says the Chicago
& Northwestern road IN Iowa is
assessed for 1902 at the rate of
Sl3,640 per mile and that the
Union Pacific is assessed at only
$4,000 per mile. Mr.. Stickney
scatters a good deal, but what he
wants is to have the Union Pacif-
ic railroad in Wyoming assessed
as the Chicago & Northwestern
in Iowa is. Of course he does
not explain that this great North
western which runs through the
densely populated state of Iowa
carries from twenty to forty pas
sengers where the Union Pacific
in Wyoming carries one, and its
freight business is more than ten
times as much as the local freight
business of the Union Pacific in
Wyoming. He does not take into
consideration either that the
Northwestern railroad is double
tracked in order to do its immense
business and the stations are only
a few miles apart. These things
he carefully suppresses, for to ad-
init them would spoil his argu-
ment. He makes a show, how
ever, of reasoning like this. If
the Northwestern is assessed S13,-
$40 per mile in Iowa, then the
Union Pacific should be assessed
a like amount in Wyoming. This
sort of argument is all right for a
one-idea Populist like Stickney,
who does not pretend to be either
logical, fair or truthful.
Now let us suppose for an in
slant that the Union Pacific rail
road felt that the amount assessed
against the Chicago & Northwest
ern in Iowa should not govern the
assessed valuation of their road in
the state of Wyoming and suppose
they were unwilling to pay taxes
on the same basis as the Iowa
road, what would they do? They
would say: "The Chicago and
Northwestern is double tracked
through Iowa. 1t has many i'm
portant stations within the state.
Its business originating in Iowa
in freight and passenger traffic is
very large, while our road in Wy
oming is but a single track, with
less than half a dozen good towns
across the state. The expense of
running trains over the mountains
is fully treble what it is to run
them across the polite grain pro-
ducing and manufacturing state
of Iowa. The local business in
freight and passengers of the
Union Pacific in Wyoming is not
one-tenth that of the Chicago and
Northwestern in Iowa"
The omission Of the important
facts shows the unfalruess of Mr..
Stickney's argument, and how he
missjudges the observation-disclosures
of the people of Wyoming He
is either incapable of taking a
comprehensive view of any public
question or is INSCRIPTIONS as to
what he says. In either event he
is unfit to discharge the duties of
any otfice.-Cbeyenne Leader.

MAY CONFESS.

The breaking down of Horns
apparently indomitable spirit soon
after the termination of his case
leads the authorities to believe
that he will make a full confession
before he walks up the steps of
the gallows. What this confess
sion will be and whom 1t will i'm
plicate is a matter of conjecture,
but it is expected to clear up
every detail of the mystery sur
rounding the murders committed

MAY o APAEAL.

1t is now believed that the Horn
case will not be taken to the state
supreme court, although the pre-
liminary step was taken when the
petition for a new trial was filed
yesterday afternoon. This motion
merely preserves the rights of the
prisoner if it is decided to appeal
the Ease and does not mean that
the case will be appealed. With
the appeal must be filed the bill
of exceptions, and this bill must
contain every word of the evil
dence introduced during the trial
The cost of preparing this evil
dence alone would be many hun
dreds of dollars and it was esti-
mated by an attorney today that
an appeal would cost $1,000, ex-
elusive of attorneys fees. 1t is
also believed that the appeal
would be fruitless in results and
it is freely predicted it will not
be taken.
1t is expected that Horn will
receive his sentence today.
