FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1904.
WILL A US OUT.

sherman Warner, writing to the Ian
der Clipper, urges that the northern
call a convention for the pur-
pose OF selecting a city to be voted for
as the future capital of Wyoming. Mr..
Warner says:
The question must be settled at the
coming election and it is time to COM
mence action in the matter. To &C
complish it will require the united &C.
tion of all the people who have the wei
q Of the people Of the state at heart,
regardless Of partisan political opin-
Ion. 1t will not do for every town in
the state to put itself forward as a can
didate for the location, as in tina case
Cheyenne would win out md the CAPT
tai would be left on the bleak, barren
hill in the state of Colorado, where it
is now situated"
In another spasm the writer adds:
"At first thought it would seem to be
unfair to the southern counties to ex,
clude them from the convention, but
to admit them would only cause dis,
cord and inharmony in the gathering.
The removal will have to be accom-,
plished by the people of the central
and northern portions of the state and
they are the only ones who are in a
position to judge of the proper loca,
ton"
The foregoing propositions are at
once radical n startling. He does
not admit that the people of the five
southern counties of the state have the
welfare of the people at heart, nor
does he admit that any but the people
Of the north ARE in a position to judge
of its proper location"
Wouldn't that be nice. Under this
proposition no voter along the line of
the Union Pacific would have
anything whatever to say about the
location of the capital. so far as
this capital convention would be con,
cerned. We are not considered as hay,
ing the welfare of the state at heart.
If Mr.. Sherman Warner will consult
the records he will probably be star
tied to learn that the counties he would
bar from his convention-Laramie, AL.
bany. Carbon, Sweetwater and Uinta
contain two-thirds of the population
and fiveeights of the wealth of the
state. Even If they were barred from
the convention they would certainly
be permitted to vote at the election.
or is it the purpose of Mr.. Warner to
carry the matter clear through to the
bitter end and not permit the counties
along the line of the Union Pacific to
vote?

CURRENT EVENTS.
Strange Story From Greeley.

Miss Rosine Meeker of Greeley,
daughter of n. c. and Arvilla d. Meek
er, has left Greeley, leaving behind a
story of fraud and cruelty hard to be-
lieve. 1t is alleged that for years she
has been wheedling and threatening
her mother till she has secured a deed
to almost all the property. A brother
has just come on from the east and
has filed complaint in the district
court. The complaint sets forth that
Rosine Meeker lived with her mother
for the last % years and that during
the last 10 of which she has Emporium
ed, %besought. Wheedled and threatened
her mother in order to persuade her
to turn over to the defendant all of the
Meeker real and personal property;
that, taking advantage of her mothers
feebleness, the defendant took posses
sion of her mothers pension money,
rentals, etc, at all times, and did what
she pleased with them, her mother not
daring to make complaint for fear of
bodily injury which her daughter might
infict. N. G. Meeker was the founder
of the Greeley colony and was promi-
rent because of his later connection
with the Meeker massacre, in which
he was killed by the Ute Indians.

evidently being in readiness TO jump
into the ring at a moments notice to
take the place of the one first knocked
out. Mr.. Brooks is seconded by Chair
man Van Orsdel and Bill Barrow,
while Mokler, of the Casper Tribune,
and Bond, of the Cheyenne Leader, are
the bottle-holders and towel manipula-
tors. In the Chatterton corner Col.
Crawford, the sage of the Platte Valley
and the able editor of the Saratoga
Sun, and Atwood C. Thomas, the
state senator and editor Of M~eeteetse,
are ready for the fray as seconds to the
governor, while Editor Calkins, of
Cody, and Colonel Hinkle of Chey-
enne, are in charge of the bottles and
towels.
at will evidently be a fight to the
finish and a knockout will decide the
contest, for there are no sponges in
either corner to throw up in case one
or the other of the contestants should
be knocked down but not put out.
The referee, if II has been select

The auditorium in which the contest is
being held is crowded with an enthu-
siastic throng. Surrounding the Chat

not yet taken seats with either faction,

1T will be an interesting contest.

SENATOR HANNA'S LAST LETTER

1t is in the amenities of life where
great men shine out respondent. A
Washington dispatch says Senator
Hanna's last written words were in
the form of a pathetic letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in which he acknowledg-
ed, in a way quite characteristic, the
presidents tho~ughtfulness in calling
at the hotel to inquire about the sena-
tors condition. The letter was writ
ten by the senator the afternoon of
Friday, Feb. 5. INT was the last bust
ness Of any kind transacted by him.
After Senator Hanna's death Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent a letter to Mrs.
Hanna, in order that copies of it might
be made by the family for preserva-
ton. The original will be returned to
the president, who will treasure it care.
fully in memory of his dead friend.
Elmer c.. Dover, Senator Hanna's
secretary, says that early in the after
Don of the day the letter was writ
ten he was called to the senator's bed
side to take up business matters. That
proved to be the last time the senator
was able to dispose of any business,
either public or private. Mr.. Dover
informed the senator that the presi.
dent had called to inquire about his
condition.
Wasn't that nice of him. whisper
ed Senator Hanna. wasn't that
good ?"
Later the senator called for pencil
and paper and wrote the following:
My Dear Mr.. President: You
touched a tender spot, old man,
when you called personally to in
quired after me this morning. l
may be worse before l can be bet
ter, but all the same such drops
of kindness are good for a fell
low. Sincerely yours,
MARCUS A. HANNA.
Friday p. m.
The next day a reply was received
from the president with a note stating
that it was to be shown to the senator
when Mrs. Hanna thought best. Sena-
tor Hanna never saw the reply, which
was as follows:
Dear Senator: Indeed it is your
letter from your sick bed which
is touching-not my visit. May you
very soon be with us again, old fell
low, as strong in body and as Wig
orous in your leadership and your
friendship as ever. Faithfully
yours,

daughter of Charley Dorr was kicked

PARABLE OF THE
WEDDING GARMENT.

The kingdom of heaven is like a Ger.
tain railroad king who made a mar,
riage for his o n
And sent forth his servants to call
them that were hidden to the wedding,
and they would not come.
Again he sent forth other servants,
saying, tell them which are hidden;
behold, l have killed the old hen, and
prepared the wedding dinner, and
opened a key of nails, and all things
are ready for the blowout.
But they made light of it. and went
their ways, one to his farm, another
to his drug store, and aonther to
his grist mill, and the remainder took
the v and entreated them
spitefully, and put a tin ear OF them,
and frescoed them with Michael An
gelo eggs.
But when the railroad king heard OF
it, he bounced the entire outfit, and
shut off on their passes and raised
their freight tariff, and busted them
up in their business. and smote them
sore on the gable end of their intel
lects, and made it red-hot for them.
Then said he unto his servants. the
wedding is ready. but they which were
hidden were not worthy.
Go ye, therefore. down to the side
tracks and into the r~Oundhouse, ana
water-tank and %cabooses, and gravel
trains, and gather together as many
as we shall find, and tell them to come
over to the wedding feast and fill
themselves up.
And the servants went forth and
rounded up as many as they could
find, both bad and good, and babe
them to the feast.
And when the king went into the re.
ception room he found there a man
who had not on a spike tail coat, and
low-neck shoes, and clicked socks.
And he saith unto him. "Pardner,
how cometh it that thou art here with
out any store clothes on and wearing
instead, a linen duster and jim-crow
raiment generally"
And the man was speechless at first.
but he answered yet again:
20, railroad king! live forever l
know that l am here without a we'd
ding garment; but, behold, l am a con
ductor on tly line, and I have re-
formed and nave ceased to knock
down. and, behold, thy servant is
poor. for he is trying to live on his sal
ary."
And the king was very wroth, and
he told the usher to gather him in and
to take him by the slack Of his raj
ment and cast him over the outer wall,
and there was weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
merry and whooped 1t up, the man
who was last out did steal around to
the back door and become solid with
the cook, and filled himself up with
the wedding feast on the side.
And it came to pass that when he
had eaten Of the fatted calf and the
wedding cake, and absorbed all the
champagne that he could carry away,
he crawled into the hay-mow and slept
till the cock crew.
And when the morning was come he

ward Salt Lake, for behold he was .
