The Rock Springs Miner says:
Conductor Kelley of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, for a
single man. is the most valuable
TO the state of Wyoming of any
conductor we have any definite
knowledge of. Last Monday

successful case of confinement on

Medicine Bow and ended at Rock
Springs. where the woman is now
in the hospital. His skillful eff
forts resulted in a boy baby.
which promises to be a republican
voter some day in Wyoming, and
if not. in the United States of
America. A. the present time.
Kelly holds the first prize in the
natural increase of the population
in Wyoming, and the Miner
stands ready to record anybody
who is willing to buck him on
this proposition.

To the Public.

The Wyoming Commission OF
the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton has undertaken the task of
seeing that this state is properly
and creditably represented at the
Worlds Fair to be held in st.
Louis in 1904.
While a great deal of work has
been done and arrangements have
been made with most of the lead
ing mines, agriculturalists and
others, for exhibits along their
several lines, yet it is more than
probable that there are numerous
interesting relics, mineral and
agricultural products, which will
be overlooked unless those pos
sessing or having knowledge of
the same, voluntarily communi-
cate with this Commission.
Therefore, we invite anyone
Who thinks he has anything wor-
thy of exhibition at ST. Louis to
communicate at an early date with
Commissioner-in-C Chief c. b. Rich
ardson, Cheyenne, Wyo, explai"
ing clearly what the article is and
the conditions under which II
may be secured by this commits
sion.
We trust that every citizen OF
Wyoming will feel that it is his
duty to cooperate with the Wyo-
ming Commission in seeing that
this state is well represented al
st. Louis.

The n of the Cumberland
"copper" property, situated some
Ieipht or nine miles east of this
place, have, after more than a year
|of idleness, again begun work on
their property.
When the work on that proper
|ty was abandoned over a year ago,
n tunnel over 900 feet in length
had been run in to intersect the
vein. No succeeding in striking
the vein at the point cal
| culated, the work was abandon
| ed for the time.
During the forest fire, which
swept over that part of the noun
tains, over a year ago, all of the
buildings at the mine, consisting
of engine house, clubhouse. cook
house and blacksmith shop, were
| destroyed, and when it IA deter
mined to again begin work on the
claim, it was necessary to con
struct new buildings. A force of
men are now engaged in erecting
such buildings as will be necessary
for the work this winter.
The visit of Prof. H. G. Beller,
State Geologlst, to the mine was
the cause of the renewal of the
work. When he went over the
ground and looked at the forma-
ton and the surface indications he
told them that the reason they
had not struck the lead in their
tunnel was because of the fact
that the lead had failed to dip AS
much as they had calculated on;
hence it would be necessary TO 90
further with the tunnel in order
to cut it. He also said that they
should not be discouraged. MS
there was certainly a large body
of very rich copper ore in that
mountain, as indicated by the sur
face groupings and the lead as ex-
posed by the shaft.
1t was because of this encour-
aging report that the company
again took heart and began the
work of delving after the ore
body. |. NJ. CONFESS is II of the
men interested in the mine, and
he it is who has seen to the start
ing of the work there at the pres
ent time.

Thought 50, 6 Too Much.

A member of the last legisla-
ture who represented one of the
western counties of the state was in
the city a few days ago and meet
ting Adjutant General Sitter at
the capitol asked him how much,
all told, was appropriated for
militia and other military purpos-
es by the last legislature, and said
he was shocked when the general
told him the appropriation
amounted TO $4,000. He said he
was glad he did not vote for it
but when the general asked him
if he didn't vote for the $4,000
wolf bounty appropriation and
the $4,000 appropriation for the
st. Louis exposition, he was COM
PEELED to admit that he did, and
asked no more questions about
the Wyoming Tribune.

PHILOSOPHICAL NOTES.
After Death States.

Theosophical Investigators have
mapped out clearly and fully the I'M
seen world. The student of
Theosophy is prepared to view
calmly the world upon which he eu-
t-rs when released from the physical
body in so-called death. He is ready
for the great change whenever it may
he hest for his evolution. Death
does not end all for him after he has
mastered even a few of the underly-
ing principles of this great philoso-
ply.
The conditions which meet a man
are precisely these he has made for
himself. Whatever thoughts and
desires he has encouraged during
life take form as living entities which
hover around him. These react up
on him till the energy his encourage.
ment has given them has been ex-
hausted. One can readily see how
terrible will be the conditions il
these thoughts have been powerful
and pc. sistent. "The worst that the
ordinary man of the world usually
provides for himself after death is "A
dull aud unutterablv weary existence,
void Of all rational interests the
natural sequence of a life wasted in
self indulgence, iriviality, and gossip
here on earth"
Purgatorial suffering will be added
to this WEAKNESS if the man, during
his earthly pilgrimage, has been
mastered by any strong physical de-
sire or been a slave to such a thing
as avarice. In losing his physical
body \ man never loses aught that is
himself. His desires and passions
are himself, as vivid as ever after
death and even more active for they
do not have the dense particles of
the physical brain to put in motion.
Wherein the purgatorial suffering
comes, is the loss of the power to
crafty these passions which remain
as "%torturing. gnawing desires, I'M
satisfied ana unsuitable"
This makes a very real hell and a
more supposable one for the unfortu-
nate soul than the impossible LAKE of
FIRE we used to hear about. The

CHURCHES 70 MERGE.
Congregational, Methodist Protestant

Congregational, Methodist Protestant
and United Brethren to Unite.
From Saturdays Daily.
Rev. S. ]. Geddes, of this city, re-
turned last night from Pittsburg, Pa,
where he attended committee meet
ing of the Congregational, Methodist
Protestant and United Brethren church
es called for the purpose of discussing
the advisability of merging the three
churches. Rev. Geddes reports that
it was practically decided to merge
but that the plans will not be complet-
ed until another meeting to be held at
Pittsburg in October Rev. Geddes is
president of the Iowa conference of
the Methodist Protestant church and
it was largely due to his efforts that
the recent merger Yves effected be-
tween the Methodist Protestant and
Second Congregational churches in
this city
VIII Devise Plans.
Rev. Geddes stated this morning that
at the meeting in October the commit.
tee from the three churches would de-
eide upon a basis that would be satist
factory to the three churches and shat
until that time but little would be done
in the matter II was practically decid,
ed at previous meeting 70 merge the
Methodist Protestant and ConSrega-
tional churches, but the United Breth-
rem were not figured in en- the deal.
They desired admlttance, however, and
as 4 result the Pittsbnrg meeting was
held and their admittauce was practic-
ally granted.
Situation in ottumWs.
Several weeks ago it was decided at
joint meeting of the ministers and
members of the Methodist Protestant
and Second Congregational churches
in this city to unite and as a result the
churches merged, using the church
structure formerly occupied by the for
Iner. church while Rev. D, ID. Davies,
the pastor of the Second Congregations
al church was retained" in charge OF
the merged church. Rev Geddes de-
sired this change as his duties as pres
! ident OF the Iowa conference of his
church required his presence in the
field. 1t will probably be two or three
years before the three churches will
have perfected the merger.

BOARD CUTS CLAIM
COUNTY OFFICIALS OBJECT TO
PAYING TOWNSHIP ASSESS
oR's CLAIM.
Supervisors in Session at Court House
Cut Bills of Eight Township As
SCISSORS and Meet With Objections
Attorney Secured to Fight Case.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Because the board of supervisors cut
down their claims for services rem
dered in compiling the assessment for
1903 four township assessors yester-
day secured the services of Attorney
j. A. Lowenberg and entered unanl-
nous protest against the boards ac-
ton. The men who complained were
G. w. Davis from Adams township;
l. o. Cremer, of Agency township; w.
H. Vass, from Washington township,
and r. G. Dimmitt from Highland
township. -Four other township asses
sors also had their claims cut but as
yet they have entered no objection.
The board heard the argument of the
attorney and late last evening decid-
ed to refer the matter to the county
attorney and to abide by his decis-
ion,
Divergence in Claims.
When the bills of the township as
SCISSORS for work on compiling the 1908
assessment were filed it was noticed
that there was wide divergence in
the prices. Some of the assessors re-
turned bill for SIS or thereabouts
for their services while others set the
mark at figures near $780, 1t was the
difference in the prices demanded for
practically the same work that led
the board to decide upon rejecting the
claims. .,ts

The board of supervisors met in reg

Ing and Started upon the usual work
of examining the claims which have

little has been done aside from hearing

cutting the claim of the township as
SCISSORS. County Attorney Seneca Cor
nell has taken the matter under adj
visement and has not as yet given his
