Hanna and the Presidency.

Hanna will certainly be a can
didate before the Republican
Convention for President.-Daily
Papers.
Hanna will not be a candidate
for the Republican Presidential
nomination. This may be con-
sidered tinal.-Daily Papers.
Hanna is one of the shrrwdest
politicians in the United States

the Presidential nomination

Hanna is as open and honest as
the day; he does not wish the
nomination for President on the
Republican ticket if he could get
it.-Some More of Hanna's
Friends.
You can depend upon it that
Hanna has his friends working
quietly, all over the country. to
see that Hanna delegates are
elected to the Republican conven-

that none of Hanna's friends are

Old Wyoming Friends.

From a recent letter from
Grandma billiard it is learned that
she and her daughter, Mrs. W. c.
Nowlin, have sold their old home
in Ecru, Miss, and moved to Ken
sett, Ark, having purchased II
home at that place. Mrs. Now
Inns son Robert, having graduated
from a medical college, is practis-
ing his profession at Kensett.
Miss Nowlin and Miss Myrtle are
teaching school at the old home
in Mississippi. Miss Mary is Wis
iting her sister, Mrs. G. w. Beal,
in New York city. Charles, the
eldest son, resides with his mother
and grandmother, at Kensett.
These people all lived in Wyo-
ming, years ago, and when they
moved to Mississippi, left many
warm friends here.

J. G. Teller Case Settled.

The following is taken from a
Denver paper:
By mutual agreement and at
the request of United States At
torney Earl Nj. Cranston, the two
cases of the government against
John c. Teller for alleged illegal
fencing in and cutting timber
from federal lands in Carbon
county, Wyo., have been dismiss
ed by Judge Hallett. The timber
was valued at $41 ,343.OS, and the
litigation has been pending for
four years, the original case hav-
ing been decided in Wyoming in
favor of the government. Later
Mr.. Teller appealed the judge
ment at the court of claims, in
Washington. The present settle
ment is said to be due to the
amicable offices of Judge Burch,
who was recently in this city
looking after the interests of the
government in the case.

A Party in the Country.

Last Friday evening a party
of young people from the city,
headed by Miss Ora Ainsworth,
went out to the Want ranch, on a
visit to Miss Elva Wilcox, who is
holding the fort as teacher at that
place. The young folks had filled
a common break wagon with hay
and had a regular STRAW ride"
They spent the evening in play
ing games and had a sumptuous
supper at twelve o'clock, and
came home along in the early
hours of the morning.
The party was made up of Miss
Nellie Rowen, Miss Sanders. Miss
Ainsworth, Miss Cover, Roy
Ainsworth, Edwin Pennock,
Charles Parker and Bert Walker.

Help the Children.

The school children are all very
anxious to make enough money
out of their coming entertainment
with which to buy a new bell for
the School Building. The one
they have now is little, and old,
and hangs on a post at the end of
the building. 1t does the best it
can, but it cannot make itself
heard very far, unless the wind
happens to be just right. What

The Condition Of the Range.

The absence of snow in the val.
ley, up to the present time, is a
serious menace to next summers
range and water supply. Without
snowfall on the prairie we can
hope for very little grass. With
out abundance of snow in the
mountains water for irrigation will
be short. There is still time for
snow to fall, but it is liable to
come in large quantities, and at
unexpected times, which will make
severe weather.
Up to the present time stock
men have had to do very little
feeding. The fine. open weather,
and sunshiny days, that have
marked the winter so far, are de-
ceiving in their effect. If the
weather is stormy, and snow fall.
ing at intervals, ranchmen look
after stock and see that they are
fed and properly taken care for.
But they are liable to neglect
them when the weather is fine.
AS a natural result stock are al.
lowed to get thin, and if the
weather continues fine, stockmen
will find that their stock will come
out in the spring in much poorer
condition than they would with a
more severe winter and better
care.
There is really nothing on
which to predicate weather prog
nostications in this Western
country, All signs fail here. The
weather predictions, that are so
potent in "the states" are of no
sort Of value here in the Rocky
Mountains. One looks to the al
MANAGES and changes of the moon
in vain, for when the changes of
the moon would mean a storm in
Illinois, or Indiana, the change
passes and the promised effect
fails to show up here.
We still have time for lots of
winter, of the severest character,
and we r quite liable to have,
not only a stormy February, but
a very snowy and d~isagreeable
March and April, retarding all
kinds of work and working a great
hardship to stock. The snow fall
in the mountains, SO far as can be
ascertained, is very light for this
time of the year. The present
outlook is for a light snowfall and
a consequent scarcity of water for
irrigation next summer.

The Buggy Turaed Over.

Miss Roberta Robnett came
down from Encampment Tuesday,
and has been visiting the schools
here, and makes an excellent re-
port concerning the work being
done.
Miss Robnett says that while
iourneying in Mondays storm
the wind blew the buggy over.
Fortunately she vas wrapped in a
big fur coat and was not injured
She casually remarked that "she

Electric Light Coal Contract.

E. e. Cochrane, a son of j.. ID.
Cochrane, of the Waterloo hotel,
was the lucky bidder on the con-
tract to furnish the slack for the
coming year to the Saratoga
Electric Light, Heat and Power
Company. The bid was for 800
tons of slack during the year 1904
The price that Mr. Cochrane is
to receive is $l,375. The slack
will come from the Phillips coal
bank. Mr.. Cochrane begins his
work on the LIST day of February,
at which time the contract of the
Company with w. b. Wykert,
which has been in force the past
year, will end,

As to Dogs.

Saratoga is long on dogs-in
fact she has about as many dogs
as the law allows for a town of
this size. There are pedigreed
dogs, mongrel dogs. long dogs,
short dogs. high dogs, and low
dogs, and dogs of low degree.
They fill the streets, and chase
COWS and horses-and one another:
they lay in the way OF the side
walks; they fight, when they are
not busy chasing cows, or one
another; they bark and howl, and
carry bones up onto the sidewalks
and chew them-and permit you
to walk around them. Still they
are all good dogs-when they are
asleep, make no noise when they
are still. There is no question
but what they earn their living
or try to--and have just as good a
right to live as the dogs of any
other town, and therefore we have
nothing to say against them. In
fact we all like dogs.
Dogs, like men, learn from each
other, and are quick to follow any
example set by their elder breth-
rem. The old dog, who trots Sc
dately along with me to the office
every day, is generally joined on
the way by a half grown yellow
pup, with a blunt tail. They trot
along amicably enough at such
times, and are the best of friends.
But the other day the old dog
caught the yellow pup around the
barn. This was an objectionable
intrusion on private property and
he proceeded to thrash the young
ster, following him for an hundred
yards, accelerating his flight with
sundry bumps and kicks that sent
the little fellow home yelping
with fright.
The next day / observed the
pup doing the same thing to a
younger and weaker dog, down in
the town, and he behaved toward
that dog in exactly the same man
mel as he had been treated by the
older dog. So much for example.
He had learned his lesson and was
quick to take advantage of it.

W. NJ. Holt came down from
the Copper Bar Mining Company's
camp Tuesday evening, after re-
pairs for the injector, which had
broken down. He says they are
working steadily on the drift to
cut the vein IN The claim. They
are now in l25 feet and expect to
cut the lead every shot, He says
every indication points to the lead

There was a delightful surprise
party at the house of NJ. and

night, in which about twenty-five
of the schoolmates of Miss Violet
Large participated. The party
was in honor of Miss Violet. The
evening was spent in games and

happy throng to one of her de-
%licious suppers. When the party
broke up the young people all

JAPAN'S REPLY MEANS WAR
Open Secret In Russia that it's Provisions Cannot
be Accomplishments Made by Russia of
Demonstration Against Persia and
Indiat to Retaliate on England.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 19.-It is
now an open secret here that the
Japanese reply is distinctly mega
tive and its extremely courteous
tone is only equalled by the firm
ness of spirit which characterizes
it.
The various news agencies are
being treated to sterotyped replies
implying that diplomacy is still
being used. 1t is stated that their
Majesties and the ministers are
most active. The Cars advisers
have been instructed to try to
work out some plan whereby the
Amour Propre of both countries
can be saved. England's pro-Jap-
anese policy is exciting serious
attention. The sentiment is grow
ing that Russia has not to do with
Japan so much as with England.

retaliate by a demonstration to-

Things Look Gloomy.

Paris, Jan. 19.-Private dis
patches from st. Petersburg indi-
cate that the Japanese note has
not helped to fortify optimistic
anticipation ns. AS long as there
was room for further negotiations
Russian diplomacy helped Russia
to gain time. But Japan, having
gwen a final answer to the latest
Russian note, will not, it is ex-
pected, wait indefinitely for a de-
cision on Russia's part.
There is said to be a good deal
OF irritation at st. Petersburg
over the failure of Russian diplo-
macy. 1t is recognized that the
conclusion of the Chinese Ameri.
can treaty has materially affected
Russia's prestige.
1t is reported that Russia stands
IN greater fear at the present mo-
ment of the United States than
Great Britain.
Another source of chagrin is
the indifferent attitude of France.
