mate, it is not well to pick one too tender in years He knew that she buxom young damsel of 20, while she may be a joy to the eye, is hardly well enough~yersed in the affairs of a home to make satisfactory nest for her husband, who is old enough to know what home is really worth. Not for him the giddy girl of 20, the maiden of 30, nor even 40. MT. Turner found his 60 summers.
 There can be no doubt that the TO- nance of Turner and his bride was a real love match. There was every thing to prove that it was: Clandes- tine courting, speedy courtship, and, aye, even strenuous family objections These things being considered sure signs of a real love affair, go to prove the assertion of MT. Turner that man can fall in love long after he has passed the allotted three score years and ten.
 Mr. Turner is well-known business man of the Indiana metropolis. His newly welded wife was until recently a music teacher in Detroit. It is sure that Turner loved at first sight, be- cause he says SO. Judging by the se- quence of events it seems probable that the bride-to-be. who was at that time Mrs. Butler, did the same They parted. Then followed a courtship by correspondence. Despite the fact that the loyelorn swain's middle-aged son r xyi0n O croi inc hn rod. ding, in fact going so far as to write the girl in the case warning her against his father, the romance enued as all good romances do; they married and the years will show whether they lived happily ever afterwards.
 The romance of Turner is only one of the many instances where, of re- cent days, Dan Cupid has been intrud- ing his ubiquitous presence into places where consternation and trouble of various kinds are sure to follow it. Apparently one of the chief delights of the little fellow is to sting people with the bangs of love and make them suffer serious inconveniences for their weakness, and to offer them strange and curious means of acquiring the same weakness.
 There is the case of Miss Bessie Smith, of Kings, Ind, and Fred Roehr, of Adrian, N. D. Bessie worked in a store in the little town which was her home. She sighed for a romance to enter her life, and sought in the good old way via the inclosed name in a package of goods. Itwas ill an envelope of flower seeds that Bessie put her name, and the package found it's way far up into North Dakota to the big farm of Fred Roehr Fred was promptly smitten with the name rBes- sic smith, said he T wonder how it would look as Bessie Roehr?"
 There followed an exchange of let ters and pictures. Then came the pro posal, and Fred came to Kings to claim his promised one. So far all was lovely and serene. But upon Roehr's arrival at the little town an other man appeared in the case He was armed with repeating rifle, and began to chuck lead at the prospect i've bridegroom with malice afore. thought But some one took him sud denly from behind, and he heard o1 the continuation of the Roehr-Smith TO. nance while sitting in jail the next day. Stranger than the efforts of the most wonderful fiction writers arc 1 the ways of real love and lovers!

CITY WATER WORKS.

The Republican believes Laramie is
question than it has been at any time
during the past decade. Scientific
men have made a comprehensive re
port on the entire matter and it is
o for the people to decide whether
they desire to improve the works OF
not.
Nothing con be done without the
pany. 1t owns the aqueduct, the res
ervoir and the land upon which the
reservoir is situated. The city does
not even WI the small lateral mains
that distribute the water. 1t may also
be necessary to C the consent OF
the seyeral associations and com.
panies who own the street laterals to
abandon tneir present rights, as it
would be impossible to render their
property vaiueless without their con,
sent or in some manner compromising
them therefor. They have vested
fights under the old contract with the
railroad company and those rights
have been confirmed by the city coun-
Gil.
The first step is to arrive at an amic-
able agreement with the railroad. AT
ter this has been arranged it will be
necessary to vote bonds for the pur.
pose OF constructing the works. Any
suggestion that the system be con
structed a portion at 3 tine should be
frowned down. While Tie work is be-
ing done it should be all done and
well done-even to the installation of
the metres to register the amount
consumers use. Without the metres
there would be an inadequate supply,
for the reason that the new system
will certainly be Of very much larger
capacity and the opportunity for waste
increased in corresponding ratio. l.
citizen who knows he is paying for
the water he uses will be careful to
see that there are no leaky faucets
and his lawn will be improved by the
use of less water. Metres will GER
tainly be a necessity.
After Laramie's system Is once
completed, it ought not to cost to ex.
NSSA S',OOV pSi ahAuAAs W pay tAS ~
terest on the bonds, superintend and
repair the works and collect the tax.
This IS about ~ per cent of the cost
of water to the city Of Cheyenne. OF
course, a sinking fund for the pay
ment OF the bonds could not be set
aside out of such a small tax. If any
thing is to be done this year, there is
no time to be lost.

BUFFUM
WRITES FOR DENVER FIELD AND
FARM ON VARIATION IN
OUR GRAINS.
Few Crops Specially Adapted to PeeuI-
lar Conditions of The Arid Regions
Took Best Varieties of Wheat
and Oats Grown Here to Fort
Collins.

Few crops have become especially
adapted to the peculiar conditions OF
the arid region which are essentially
different In elements of climate and
method of supplying water from those
conditions to which the seed, brought
here to plant, has become accustomed
and adapted through hundreds or evel
thousands of years, says Prof. BIC. Blu.
FUN Of this city in the Denver Field a
Farm. The change in the environment
Is as great as could bc imagined ano
especially is the difference magnifeo
when the seed is brought to our higher
attitudes. The increased amount o.
sunshine, the deeper and richer soil
especially differing lie amount ano
kinds of mineral plant foods. and coo
nights, the increased air movement
on the open plains and the supply Of
water from below instead of from
above, places the plants in a situation
at once novel and stimulating.
These conditions produce varieties in
plants which grow from such seeds
making them larger, more prolific OF
different in composition or indeed the
vacation may combine all of these new
qualities. That this actually occurs is
abundantly proven by results with
crops in the west. Wheat grown from
eastern seed will be larger in straw
and grain, more plump and heavy, OF
brighter color and more prolific for a
few seasons. Sugar beets grown in
Colorado from seed raised in Germany,
become of greater size and are richer
in the average sugar content than the
mother beets from which the seed was
produced. The smaller potatoes from
Wisconsin and other rainfall regions
used as seed produce the finest crops
raised In the Greeley district. How.
ever, it is true that variation takes
place in many crops due to change of
environment with the seed.
Three years ago I reversed the op-
GRAFTON by taking the seed of 1875 of
the best varieties of wheat and oats
grown at Laramie for several years to
Fort Collins. where they were carefully
planted in good soil. The way those
grains behaved was most discourag.

WAS 1T POLITICAL?

For some two weeks last past Chey.
enne has been agitated from center to
circumference by a religious and
moral wave. Revivalists have filled
Keefe hall almost daily and many
have been converted.
Right in the midst of thi, great
awakening the mayor and the city
council conceived the idea that it
would be quite the proper thing to
pass an ordinance licensing gambling.
notwithstanding the state law and the
recent decision of the supreme court
holding the same to be constitutional,
The mayor prepared a message advis.
ing such a course and Councilman
Adam Schilling introduced an ordin.
ance providing for a license of $3.50
per month for gambling houses. And
then the fun began.
In some manne the revivalists had
heard of the contemplated action of
the city council and appeared III
force. AS the orator of the occasion,
they enlisted Judge Carey. who made
an eloquent appeal to the city fathers
not to fly in the face of the state law
and the decision of the court of last
resort. A portion Of his address was
a strong appeal against the vice OF
gambling.
A practical member OF the council
asked the judge how the 500, 900 to
complete the city dam was to be
raised, and then he showed what was
afterward construed to be the real
pupose of his appearance in the coun.
Gil chamber. He said the council
should fine the gamblers and fine
them high.
Now. If the gamblers are to be fined
for the purpose of raising revenue the
result Is exactly the same as if they
were licensed and from a moral
standpoint there is little choice.
Immediately after the meeting of
the council a correspondent of the
Denver Times, who. by the way, is an
employe Of Judge Carey's Wyoming
Tribune, wired his paper that the
judge had made a great political coup
and that he had strengthened himself
at the state capital.
If the judges purpose was correctly
construed by the correspondent of the
Denver Times, then he is not deserv.
ing of special communication, unless
1t be for the very able manner in
which he ''buffaloed" the city council.
1T is alleged six members of that body
had pledged themselves to support
the license ordinance, but when it
came to a vote not even the member
who introduced it voted y 1t was
a clear case of stampede and they are
now all wondering where they are
at"
IN this connection it may be of in
terest to note that some leading az
lorneys contend that the Cheyenne
charter was in no way repealed or
amended by the ~anti-gambling law
and that the Cheyenne city council
has the power to license gambling.
The morality of Judge Carey's coup
depends upon whether his advice to
fine the gamblers was for the purpose
of raising evenue or for the purpose
Of s%uppressing the evil.
Just at this time those acquainted
with the political situation In the
state are inclined to the belief that
the view Of the Times correspondent
is the correct one and that the action
was purely for the purpose of strength
ening rotten fences.

G~UBRNAToRIAL CONTEST.

The past week in the campaign for
the ~gubernatorial nomination may be
sized up in two words: Nothing do
ing.
A newspaper in the western part OF
the state. the Rock Springs Miner, al
leges that information from ten coun'
ties is to the effect that Governor
Chatterton will have their delega,
lions. The Republican does not know
what the Miners sources of informa
ton are or how reliable they are, but
believes it is optimistic in the eX
IRENE.
NO infallible forecast Of the
strength of individual candidates can
be made at the present time. How
ever, the following Is considered fair
ly accurate.
Chatterton-Carbon, Fremont, Big
Horn and probably Sweetwater.
Brooks-Albany, Converse. Lara
nile, Natrona, Uinta and Weston.
in doubt-Crook, johnson and
Sheridan.
The foregoing is predicted upon the
assumption that Messrs. I%vinson, Har,
din and Carey will not be In the race.
Inquiry among the people OF Albany
county brings out the fact that a very
large majority are favorable to the
candidacy of Mr.. Brooks, should MIR.
Ivinson decide to not permit his name
to go before the convention; in fact,
the sentiment Is as nearly unanimous
as it could well be at this time.
Newspapers published in the
northwestern portion OF the state indi-
cate that Governor Chatterton will
not have a walkaway In Big Horn.

they threw out small, contracted heads,
which dallied along from ripening I'M
til frost came and shrunk the imma-
ture grain. The season was long and
warm and the grain, which had been
accustomed to a higher altitude and
shorter season. seemed to grow with
the assumption that there was little
need to reproduce themselves and no
occasion at all for hurrying up about
doing SO. Grain planted on the Lara
mic plains seems to bestir itself to
ripen as much perfect seed as possible
before frost comes.
So marked is the hurry that the
leads ripen some time before the
traw loses its green and if left until
he straw appears ripe the grain shat
ers from the over-ripe and brittle
reads. The first step in breaking up
n established variety is to make it
negin to vary and in a few years the
'ariety We obtain is quite unlike that
With which We started. My observa-
ion indicates that the tendency o.
rain after it has been grown four or
i've years Is to begin to run out, as the
'armers call it. This running out is
1 gradual deterioration which produces
smaller heads, causes the disappear
ance of some of the spikelets at the
lower part of the head with failure to
fill those at the tip of the ear and per-
haps also showing a difference in the
kernel, which causes the crop to be-
come Improbable in yield and quality.

No people should make any truce with

He who commits It should be taught
to know
That swift as arrows from Ulysses
bow.
His punishment will come to him each
time.
But mobs are more of menace to a
land
Than is the thing their fury would
o'erthrow,
For where the raging crowds OF
lynchers go
The criminal and law die hand In hand.
And nations all must learn this solemn
thing.
Though 1t were only learned in blood

No commonwealth ian bear the test
Of years.
And cruelty the law. Law must be
