RECORD OF THE PAST.
No Stronger Evidence Can be Had in
Laramie.

Look well to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee Of fu-
ture results. Any one with a bad back;
any reader suffering from urinary
troubles, from any kidney ills will find
in the following evidence proof that
relief and cure is near at hand:
Mrs. A. Callahan of 215 West
Twelfth street. Cheyenne, says: "In
the month Of May, 1899. l was inter.
viewed by a gentleman who asked me
for my experience with and opinions
of Doan's Kidney Pills. I had obtain
ed the preparation a short time pre-
vious to his visit at a drug store, and
II gave a statement for publication
which said that for eighteen years
was subject to backache; when in the
acute stage to stoop hurt and the con-
traction of a cold brought actual suf-
fering. Doan's Kidney Pills stopped
a very aggravated attack. 1t Is now
three years and a half since I made
my original statement, and I just as
emphatically endorse the preparation
today as l did when 1t came to my no
tice. You are at liberty to continue
the publication of my endorsement
Just such emphatic endorsement
can be had right here in Laramie.

COLONEL STANTON
CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY.

Colonel Thomas Stanton is trying
to make his friends believe he Ia eIgh-
ty years old Instead of about sixty-fve,
and gave 1t out yesterday that he had
turned the allotted four score years.
Anyway. his warm friend Herman
Langheldt dedicated the following lines
to the colonel on the anniversary:
"All hail to the day of you birth on
this morn!
For your health AMI prosperity al.

May your life be all roses and free
from q thorn;
May you have many happy returns
Of the day.
'As the years roll by with an unvarr

And old age creeps as you travel
your way;
Yet still with a love that life only can
bind.
wish you again, Happy returns OF

Of Maria Susanna Fedora Elizabeth

Mrs. Mary Habedank.

Justice Leventritt, after severing

the recommendation that action be

1t is asserted by Morgan & Chiffon
of 140 Nassau street, representing both
plaintiffs, that when Mr.. Bruchle mar

Mrs. Elliott is a handsome woman Of

opened yesterday afternoon by
a line up from West Point versus
Columbus, which resulted in a
score of 6 to in favor of Colum-

teams settled down to good work
and played a smooth game until
the finish. T h e inclement
wheather prevented a large
crowd from being in attendance
but those who braved the cold
felt encouraged for the future
supremacy of Colum bus on the

can be organized in this city.

Free Rural Routes.

Mr. w. G. Watson, who occu-
pies the position OF inspector of
the Free Rural Delivery service
for the State of Mississippi,
spent several days of the past
week in this city looking into the
operation Of the several routes
established in this county last
year. There are several little
matters in connection with these
routes which require 1justing
in order to perfect the service
and Mr.. Watson had all of these
under consideration, giving each
a personal inspection and inves-
tigation before making any rec.
ON mendation in the premises.
To begin with he has had the
New Hope route under consid
GRAFTON with the hope of so
changing it that the people of the
Dunbar neighborhood might be
made patrons of this route but
he finds it impracticable and the
route will remain as It is for the
present with the exception of a
few slight changes which will
facilitate the work for the carrier
on this route somewhat. The
people of the Nye Hearon neigh
borhood have long wished for
the extension of the service to
their section and Mr.. Watson
will try and arrange the Flint Hill
route so that it will serve this
section and put in another route
to accom- modate the people Of the
Flint Hill neighborhood. The
people of Steens are anxious for
the establishment of a route to
serve the pOpulous district con-
tiguous to that place and Mr..
Watson in company with Mr..
VIM. Harris, examined the route
Monday and it is understood that
he will favorably report on the
same. This route will run south
to Jemison S Mill; east to the
Randall place. across the Ala
bama line; north to Hudson and
thence west to the Mormon Road
and back to Steens. The estab-
lishment of this route means
great Improvement in the mail
facilities at Steens. the addition
of a money order department
at that office and mails three or
four times day.
LOwndes county has now
eight free rural routes all serv-
ing the people of the county and
few neighborhoods are not now
enjoying this modern mail con-
venience. It is believed that
before the year is over this num-
ber will be materially added to
and for this favor the people are
largely indebted to the efficient
inspector who has charge of this
service in this State.
