impetus to q movement begun here for

National Guard Of Wyoming, and some
| Of the members of the former fine COM
pany here and later Of the company
that went from Laramie to the Philip
pines as a part of the regiment of Wy
oming volunteers have taken up the
matter Of the organization and equip
ment Of the company.
A Republican reporter this morning
called upon w. E. Yelton. late first SER
yeant of Company F, Wyoming vol
u~nteers, who did duty in the Philip
pines, and he has practically consent
ed to take charge Of the initial stages
OF the proposed organization. MIR.
Yelton is the ranking officer of that
company here. a thorough military man
in practice and full of the spirit and
ire that would soon make Laramie
the home Of the best drilled and best
disciplined militia company in the
state. He will write at once to Adju-
tant General stitger of Cheyenne, get
ting all the Information and blanks
necessary. The addition of the $25
per capita from the national treasury
will help the adjutant general very
materially in the equipping of the COM
pany.
Sergeant Yelton says the crying need
now is a suitable army. He thinks
there would be no difficulty in enlisting
the fifty men necessary to the forma-
ton Of the organization, and 1t is
known Governor Richards is very much
In favor of the enlistment of a COM
pany here, SO that We could count con
ldently upon state aid and encourage
ment from the first. MI. Yelton says
there are twenty or thirty young men
here who were members either Of the
Wyoming regiment or Torrey's Rough
Riders. with military training, who
would form the nucleus OF the company
and give it added prestige from the
start.
The cadets Of the university are a
we'll drilled body Of young men, and
Laramie has the best band in the state,
two elements that would unite in max
ing the proposed military company
easily the most favored in southern
Wyoming. There is a military spirit
rampant among the young people of
the city, and Sergeant Yelton believes
1t needs but the initiative to make the
thing go like wildire. He has already
begun work on the preliminary steps
to be taken.

The Mysterious Visitor
Is Now Invading Many Homes
1t Strikes Young and Old Who
Are Physically Weak and
Rredisposed to Disease.
Celery
Compound
Fortifles the Body, Cleanses the
Blood and Gives Strength
to Resist All Attacks.

That mysterious visitor, Grip is
now invading many homes and strik-
ing down the young and old who are
weak or predisposed 70 disease.
1t is now well known that the dis
ease spreads rapidly to the various
members of the households into which
it has been introduced. 1t accords
with the theory of infection, also, that
the disease has usually attacked the
persons liable to infection. DIR. Rich
ard Sisely, in his book on Epidemic
Influenza" says the disease is almost
entirely propagated by infection.
In past winter seasons it has been
fully and happily demonstrated that
Paine's Celery Compound is a tower
of safety when grip is prevalent. When
this scientific and health-giving med
icine is used, it strengthens the nerv-
GUS centres of all the vital organs;
it purifes the blood, regulates diges-
ton, gives a healthy tone to the
whole system, enabling young and old
to feel secure from the ravages of
disease. Weak, nervous, d%yspeptic,
and ailing people will find in Paine's
Celery Compound a true protector and
shield from the dangers of grip. A
trial of one bottle will Danish all ex-
listing doubts.

There was another little land deal
involving 10000 acres the other day
over in Santa Fe. The usual minim-
UNI price of So an acre was agreed upon
when an Ohio man put in an appear
ance and upset all plans by onering
$3.50 an acre for the lands as his first
bid, and it resulted in it being knock
ed down to him at $3.50 an acre, thus
giving the Territory $4,000 more tina
the slated price. During the progress
OF the bidding the financial standing
of the Ohio man was questioned, and
he forthwith flashed certified checks
in the amount of $4,000 and said he
could produce more il necessary. Why
is it. though. hat we don't see long
articles in the republican organs
about the big prices, etc.. obtained
for the land? Heretofore. when such
a body of land has been sold for s.
al acre they usually have a column
about it; now that a large tract has
been sold for fifty per cent above the
usual price they have nothing to say,
probably for fear that ii might stimuli
ate others to look out for these sales
and prevent the Territory from receiy-
ing a fair price for the lands.
The opinion is pretty well divided
as to the possible admission OF New
Mexico. now that the question has as
sumed a new phase.
