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 us 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 Cos
store. The use for some time of the
remedy Sc strengthened the kidneys,
bladder and renal tract that the weak
ness gradually disappeared until it
practically ceased. The parents are
very grateful for the benefit received
and never lost an opportunity of recon-
mending the ear they employed
which brought relief, namely, Doan's
Kidney Pills"

ENTERS PROTEST AGAINST &C.
TON OF COMMITTEE IN GAME
PRESERVE BILL.
Says Favorable Report Of Committee
Was Secured Through Trickery-
Will Prepare a Minority Report
and Endeavor to Defeat Passage Of
Bill,

Washington Feb. 27.-The house
committee on public lands has author
lied favorable report on senate bill auth
orzing the president to establish game
preserves within the forest reserves,
to be set aside for the protection of
game and fish, amending the bill so as
to restrict the president from making
more than nj preserve in any state
and absolutely prohibiting the killing
of fish or game in the preserve thus
created.
Representative Mondell stated after
the action was taken by the committee
that the report was secured through
trickery. 1t was announced at the last
meeting of the committee that no fur
Their meetings would be held, and We'd
nesday's meeting was called for the
sole purpose of passing commendatory
resolutions upon the services of mem.
bers of the committee who are to re-
tire with the close Of this congress.
Consequently Mr.. Mondell and sew
eral other western members were not
present and in their absence the re-
port was secured.
Mondell will prepare a minority re,
port and will endeavor to defeat the
bill on the floor of the house. It's main
purpose, he says. is to make the Vel
lowstone park reserve, in Wyoming, a
game preserve. This reserve embraces
nearly one-eighth Of the area Of Wyo'
ming and if made into a game preserve
under federal regulations the game
laws will be abrogated and an immense
area in the state be diverted from the
use of the people and made simply 9
game preserve for the pleasure of east
ern and foreign tourists and sports
men.

RIVERS
UNDERGROUND TO BE MADE TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEEDS
OF THE SURFACE.
Subdivision Of the Hydroqraphic
Branch Of the United States Geo
logical Survey to Investigate Un-
dereround Water-WilI Collect
Data from Wells and Springs.

At the meeting Wednesday evening
to organize the Albany County Indus
trial association the remark was made
that the Laramie plains contained
more underground water than flowed
through all the surface streams. and
that it could be made to do its share
toward the irrigation of the arid lands
Of the plains. The following from the
Salt Lake Tribune of yesterday will
be read with interest in this connec-
ton:
"A line of work has been taken up by
the United States geological survey
which will be of more than ordinary
interest to the farmers of Utah. A
subdivision of the photographic branch
of the survey has been organized by
Chief Newell to investigate under
ground water. The entire country has
been divided into halves. western and
eastern, under two section chiefs. who
will put the work of each state in
charge of a separate geologist. The
g~eologist will collect data from wells,
borings. springs, etc. regarding under
ground waters with a view to conduct
ing special geological Investigations in
fields which promise results of practi-
cal benefit to residents.
"In a country where so much de-
ponds upon and so little is known of
the true source of artesian water as
this, the projected work Of the survey
should be of immense value. The prob
lem of the conservation of water may
be solved. the indications of an artes-
ian flow may be determined. and hun
dreds of unknown facts may be brought
to light that will assist the inhabitants
of the arid region in their battle with
drought.
1.-The geological survey is preparing
to issue a report of the work done at
Bingham and Park City during the
past season, as well as brief publica-
lions on economic deposits at three
other points in Utah.

CURING lEPROSY.
American Physician Discovers Means
Of DISCRIMINATING Disease.

Washington, Feb. 26.-According to
United States Consul McWade at Can
ton, it has remained for an American
physician, DR.. Adolph Razlag, to dis
cover a means of curing and exter-
minating leprosy. In a report to the
state department, the consul says that
wonderful success has attended the eff
forts of this physician and his work
has attracted the attention of the high
est manchu and Chinese officials.
His work began in June. 1902, in a
leper village six miles distant from
Canton. OF four cases treated, three
have been discharged completely cured
and the last is making a practical re-
covery. The physician urges strongly
the adoption of his methods for the
treatment of lepers in the Philippines
and in Hawaii.
The main features of the treatment,
which Is shown in detail in the con-
sul's reoprt appear to consist of minute
and prolonged sanitation and the use
of highly antiseptic drugs.

Captain H. G. Nickerson. whose ap
pointment as allotting agent of the
Shoshone reservation at Lander has
been confirmed by the senate. is await,
ing the arrival of Harry f. Wadsworth,
his successor as Indian agent. when he
will take up his new duties and com
mence the allotment of lands in sever,
atty to the red men. says a Lander
special to the Denver Republican.
Captain Nickerson is a veteran of
the civil war IL a pioneer of Wyo-
ming. Serving from 1861 t o 1868. he
was in the wings of the federal army
under Generals Rosecrans and Hayes
and was b%revetted captain of the Twen-
ty-third Ohio volunteer infantry for
gallantry.
Captain Nickerson came to WyO-
ming in 1867, locating at the then
famous gold mining camps of South
Iass district. He served several terms
in the state Legislature and was one
of the men chiefly instrumental in Sc
curing a division of S~weetwater coun-
ty, whereby Fremont county was cut
off and named. During the early
years of his residence in the state Ind
ians were troublesome and the settlers
were in constant danger from roaming
bands. He was a participant in sew
a encounters and his army training
made him a leader among the white
men. While in business at Lander
in 1898 he received the appointment OF
Indian agent from his war comrade,
PRECEDENT Mckinley. At the end of a
four-year term. Captain Nickerson
was reappointed by President Roose-
welt.
He has made a splendid RECORD as In
dian agent, being a man of discretion.
while at h same time he grasps a
situation quickly and acts with energy.
showing a reserve force that fits him
splendidly for any emergency.
The appointment of an allotting
agent for 1000, 900 acres of land com
prising the Shoshone reservation
means much for Fremont county and
the state. When the lands are allotted
there will be many thousands OF acres
of land thrown open for settlement,
which means a rush for the valuable
agricultural and mineral portions.
Captain Nickerson is one of the
prominent workers of the republican
party in Wyoming, and is universally
liked and respected. His appointment
gives general satisfaction, as his ex-
perience and work among the Indians
give him clear insight to the duties of
his new position.

MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN
OF GENUS PORCUPINE.

The %porcupine killed by Mr. Larson
near Granger and presented to the uni
versity collection is a magnificent spe-
cimen. 1t has been mounted by Prof.
Knight and measures az feet from
nose to tail and two feet in girth, and
must have weighed in life more than
thirty pounds. The feet are shaped
like those of a bear. The winter coat
of gray and white hides the innumer-
able quilts. each as sharp as a needle.
Mr.. Larson also brought with him
two specimens of the Bohemia wax
wing. a bird that m in Alaska
and winters here. They are SNUFF brown
to lead gray in color, with beautiful
yellow and red dots on the wings. The
wax wing is a handsome little fellow
and has a melodious voice, which may
be heard here nearly all winter. The
red and yellow are very vivid and show
when the bird is on the wing in flashes
of brilliant color.
Both the porcupine and birds will be
added to the splendid collection at the
university.

Sa>s-oS5s~Would Do Better to Stick

Talk Is Causing Discussion.

Boston, Feb. 27.-The students of
Boston university are discussing a
talk which Prof. Marshall L. Perry of
the university gave to his class on the
subject of Unfortunately sending
boys and girls to college.
According to the noted educator a
great mistake is made by those par
ents who, knowing that their children
lack brains, still think that they can
have them trained to lives of useful
ness by packing them OF to a univer-
sity. DR.. Perry declared that careful
Judgment should be used in choosing
between practical instruction and high
er education. Among other things he
said:
Many a boy would do better to stick
to the blacksmith shop and many a
girl to the millinery trade. Too many
feel that going to college is going to
redeem their lives. 1t sometimes ruins
them. Some people are no good in
College, but all right in other lines. 1t

% 20 by the chairman of the meeting
expressed the opinion that it would be
legal for the commissioners to SO order.
After that the motion to have the
matter brought to the attention of the
council was tabled. that the effect of
Mr.. Siosson's suggestion might be felt.
That idea tool hold with some people.
County Attorney Gibson facetiously re-
marking that if the library be abandon.
ed. as Mr.. Corthell feared it might in
time, the building could be converted
into a county Jail. which was sadly
needed" This created hearty ap-
plause.
MIR. Crumrine, in outlining the prop
Dsition at the opening of the meeting,
said that he and others had been fig.
uring some on the maintenance plan,
and had adduced these figures of the
probable cost of maintenance:
..Janitor and librarian, per year. 81 900
Lighting and heating, per year. 800

iCals.
MIR. Downey took a somewhat less
optimistic view of the matter. He gave
a history of the present county library
from its starting in 1870. and said that
the tax now levied was hardly large
enough to accomplish much in the way
Of additions to the number of books.
He quoted from the last published re-
port of the trustees of the library to
show that there was a growing pop
ularity for the institution. The num-
her of readers was quite large and in.
~creasing.
When the meeting adjourned the
sentiment was that Messrs. Nelson and
Crumrine should assure the board of
county commissioners that the people
would indorse the levying of a tax to
the maximum statutory limit. half a
mill, and that the question of a site
should be digested and settled at a
subsequent meeting, the proposition to
build on the court house square being
~ mean a solution of a difficulty
in the securing of a site.
