Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach

SHOOTING AFFAIR IN
A CASPER SALOON,

George Lobmier shot at Fred Roedde
three times last night, two of the balls
taking effect, one taking off the tip of
the left ear and the other entering the
heel of the right foot, going entirely
through the foot and lodging in the
upper part of the center toe, says the
Casper Tribune. The victims left
ankle was also slightly burned with the
pail, which entered the right foot. The
shooting occurred at about 10 o'clock
at night in the Wyoming saloon. where
Roedde was quietly talking with some
friends. He was standing at the bar
when Lpbmier opened the door, and.
drawing his gun, commenced to fire.
AS soon as Roedde saw Lobmier with
the gun he started for the back end of
the saloon. and vas nearly through the
door when he was shot in the foot.
Lobmier and Roedde had some trou.
BILE some time ago., and it seems that
Lobmier got decidedly the worst of the
deal, and. after drinking heavily for a
few days. he secured a gun and went
hunting for his enemy.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN
METHODS IN COMPETITION.

George d. Harmon, who has the con-
tract for drilling two OF the wells to be
put down by the Belgo-American peo-
pie between here and Salt Wells sta
zion, is stopping with Mrs. Harmon, at
the Commercial, says the Rock Springs
Miner. Ills rig is ready for work. and
he expects to begin to drill next Mon
day. The two holes he has contracted
to put down are the two locations near
est Rocl; springs. while the rig of the
Belgo-American Drilling trust is up at
the third location, near Salt Wells sta
ton, where drilling will also begin in a
few days. Barring accidents. the drill
ing of the two holes ought to be a test
CT the respective merits of European
and American machinery and methods
of drilling. The rig Of the Belgo-Amer-
lean people is of English make, and is
IN charge Of an experienced English
man, which has operated similar ma
chimes extensively in South Africa. The
rig looks odd to American eyes. but Is
said to got there just the same. Mr..
Harmon's rig is Of the regulation
! American type used in developing the
old Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and
other American fields. The sinking of
the two holes will be watched with in

FAMILY CARES.
This Information May Be of Value To
Many a Mother In Laramie.

When there is added to the many
cases i~nseparable from the rearing of
children that affection of weakness OF
the kidneys and auxiliary organs, the
mothers lot is far from a happy one.
This condition can be quickly changed
and absolutely cured by the use of
Deans Kidney Pills. When this is
known the mothers burden will be
lighter and her home happier.
Mrs. william McCune of 11S Gar
field street, says: "a case of a child
came to my notice some time ago who
was annoyed with non-retention of the
kidney secretions. Physicians were
consulted but their treatment failed
and advertised remedies were tried,
but nothing even lessened the weak.
ness until Doan's Kidney Pills were
procured at the Laramie Drug Co.'S
store. The use for some time of the
remedy SO strengthened the kidneys,
bladder and renal tract that the weak.
ness gradually disappeared until 1t
practically ceased. The parents are
very grateful for the benefit received
and never lost an opportunity Of recon
mending the means they employed
which brought relief. namely, Doan's
Kidney Pills"

the temple, directing a stream of water
into the building. The roof had fallen
in and a heavy cornice directly over the
heads of the men was tottering. They
were warned against going under the
cornice, but paid no heed. They had

large auditorium, anG it is the opinion
of those who witness the blaze in its
early stages that it was set by a spark
from the electric light wires. The fire
department responded promptly, but
there was little water pressure and the
flames soon had control.
The building was equipped with cost
ly fixtures and paraphernalia, and the
total damage is estimated at about
$50, 900. There was $4,000 insurance
on the building and S $1,000 on the para

be rebuilt for the amount of the insur-
ance, as at least three of the walls are
available.
