terfering with the work of the
majority when you do otherwise.

GREELEY.

Gales! gales! regales! and gales
galore!
Tom Adair is putting the strips
on his big new barn.
Leslie Hartzel the popular North
Dakota boomer is here visiting
friends and relatives.
The Gov. Cummins speech at
tracted goodly number of Greeley
ties to Audubon Saturday.
Mrs. Brown who has been visit
ing with her sister, Mrs. John Eagen
will return to her home at Indian
ola, Iowa.
Those big red barns, such as Bob
garnet ls now erecting on his fine
evidence of thrift.
The farmers in and around North
Branch met in that village last Sat
urday night to consider the wisdom
and possibility of establishing
cooperative creamery.
Ira Johnson, the progressive
Swede of Pixies Peak drove over to
nelghbor kness' last Tuesday and
exchanged twenty dollar bill for
an old SOW and ten little Chester
Whites.
The furious rain storm that drove
the thrashers in last Tuesday was
followed on Wednesday by one of
the tercest gales that ever blew
beneath clear sky. Hay stacks
were turned over, orchards stripped
OF their apples, and strawstacks
scattered hopelessly over the fields.
A few days since, while Ira John
son and Andrew Nielsen were en-
gagged in stacking hay, the latter
feil on the rack and so injured him
self internally as to necessi-
tate immediate skill of physician
to stop the alarming flow of blood.
The victim of this unique accident
is rapidly recovering at this writ
ing.
Miss Essie Goochey has gone to
Pella, Iowa, to pursue her studies
in the school of that city, and the
likelihood that the Goochey family
| will move there soon is almost
alarming in the social circles of
the Union Baptist church, as such
a change would hopelessly cripple
the choir and leave deplorable
vacancy in the Sunday school and
young peoples societies.
Mrs. Frank May and daughter
Maggie were nearing the John
Nash farm on their way home from
Audubon Saturday evening their
team being nettled they drove it
into Mr.. Nash's yard to wait the
passing of the train. The train did
not come as expected, 80 they re-
sumed their way. The yhad scarce
ly crossed the big bridge there,
when the train dashed in view.
The horses became frightened and
in their mad plunges broke the
wagon tongue, the remaining stub
of which gouged into the earth and
turned back under the wagon.
The doubletrees came loose and
away went the team, which soon
became hopelessly tangled in a
barb wire fence. They were terribly
lacerated. The ladies exhibited re.
markable presence of mind by not
leaping from the wagon and thus
escaped unscratched, barring fright.

THE THIRD

Sheridan having secured the third
annual meeting of the Wyoming Indus
trial convention, it behooves the south
ern counties of the state to begin early
in their preparations for thorough rep
resentation therein. Not only should
our people turn out in goodly numbers,
but provision should be made for ex-
hibits of our minerals and our agricul-
tural products. Each county of the
state will vie with its nelgnbors in G
ting the standard high. Sheridan, we
are sure, will make every provision for
the installment of exhibits and the en-
tertainment Of the peopie.
In all probability the meeting will be
held in the early fall. in order that
there may be no danger Of climatic
conditions interfering with the bust
8 and the pleasure OF the conven-
ton. A trip to Sheridan promises
much in the way of pleasure as well as
profit. An enjoyable outing and An ex
change of views will do much toward
drawing us all closer together and will
materially enhance the business pros
perfty and the social weY-being of the
entire people.
On to Sheridan.

THE PARAMOUNT T

Probably the most important paper
read at the Wyoming Industrial con-
vention was that Of Editor e. A. Slack
OF the Cheyenne Dairy Leader upon
Wyoming's opportunity at the Louisi-
ana Purchase exposition. In a few
brief, terse paragraphs he set forth
Wyoming's duty in such a clear, fore
ible manner that the convention with
out a single protest urged an %appropri-
alton of $4,000 for a creditable ex-
hibit. This state cannot afford to be a
''piker." We had no exhibit at Buffalo
and many Of our people had great
cause to regret it. They sulked about
the exposition grounds ashamed to say
from whence they came. We must
show our colors-in iron, in coal, in
copper. in oil and in all the varied agri-
cultural products that have made US
famous. Don't smile. We have &C.
quired fame in agriculture. The north
ern part of this state has produced al
most a thousand bushels of potatoes on
q single acre of ground. 1t has produc-
ed wheat which secured first prize at
the Chicago Worlds fair. Wyoming
u exhibit products at st. Louis which
will call forth the wonder and the ad-.
miration Of the entire world.
The Wyoming Industrial convention
made its vote for an appropriation
unanimous, There is reason to believe
the legislature will do the same thing.

NEGLECTED. ALASKA.

The house of representatives has
passed a bill providing for the repre-
sentation of the territory of Alaska
by a delegate. This will not be much
OF a gift. A delegate has little in
iuence. Congress has so much to do
that it is reluctant to give time t ter
ritorial legislation. eel where a del
egate has eloquently set forth the pres
sing necessity for it.
There. are many things which will be
more useful to Alaska than a delegate.
There is need of a land law with prop
er provisions for securing homesteads.
Laws should be enacted for the preser-
walton Of the forests and the salmon.
These are important, practical ques-
tions witch congress is slow to take
hold of. The old belief that all Alaska
except a narrow strip along the coast
Is a bleak polar desert, where zone but
a fur trapper can earn a living. is dy-
made that the Canadian northwest,
once said to be untillable, is a fine
farming region. The same discovery is
being made as regards extensive Alas
kan districts. 1t is too soon to say that
all the cultivable land belonging to the
government has been taken up and
there can be no h~omesteaders. Unfor,
~tunately, owing to a lack of law, the
American who goes to Alaska and at
tempts to cultivate the soil Is a mere
squatter. He can get no title.
The extent of the mineral wealth of
Alaska is gradually being learned. The
territory is rich in copper and in gold
and doubtless other minerals will be
found there. Mining camps will grow
up into large and permanent towns
Railroads will penetrate the territory
and open it up to the miner, the farm
er and the cattle raiser. There is a
great future in store for Alaska. but
that future will be slow in coming il
congress will do nothing to hasten the
development of the territory. The last
congress was with difficulty induced tc
make some provision for civil govern
ment in Alaska. The thrush Of miners
made 1t necessary to do something
There will have to be much more Iegls
lation before Alaska will have a fair
chance. The territory has been under
estimated and neglected from the he
ginning.-Chicago Tribune.

The human heart, that most wonderful
of engines, is scarcely larger than a mans
fist. Yet in each twenty-four hours the
dual heart moves approximately six tons
of blood, equivalent to about two barrels
of blood per hour. And this continues
without ceasing from the first breath of
infancy to the last sigh of age. Is it any
wonder that when continued extra strain
is put upon so delicate and busy an or
gan, it should break down? Is it any
wonder that in this z of overwork
there should be an increasing number of
deaths attributed to heart failurel

Tendency of the 11me..

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one Of
the most dangerous diseases that med
ical men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use Of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always
results from a cold or from an attack
of influenza grip, and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy co%unteracts
any tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence Of colds and grip in
recent years, and a be relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from a slight cold when
no danger is apprehended until 1t is
suddenly discovered that there is fe-
yer and difficulty in breathing and
pains in the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold is contracted. 1t always cures.
