Publication Containing Reliable lnfor-
nation Concerning the Resources OF

Such is the title of the 1904 volume
of the splendid pamphlet issued by
| Secretary of State Fenimore Chatter
ton, a copy of which has just been re-
ceived. The work was printed at the
office of The Republican.
THE State of Wyoming" Mr..
Chatterton says in his preface to the
| volume, was authorized by the legis.
lature of 1903, which should, in the
main, give a concise account of the
states and interests. The
task of collecting the necessary infor-
nation has been somewhat difficult,
because of the numerous interests cen
tered over a territory embracing nearly
IS 5000 square miles, and the results are
somewhat disappointing, as l realize
that many facts of interest and value
must, of necessity, have been over
looked.
ut has been impossible, within the
space allowed, to give as much detailed
information as desired, but an earnest
endeayor has been made to give, un-
der the stamp of official authority,
from sources of the stricteSt RELIABLE
ity, an accurate and reliable summary
of the states resourceful advantages.
Z take pleasure in giving grateful
acknowledgment for very valuable as
sistance rendered in the, collection of
data to the following gentlemen, who
have kindly interested themselves in

ming. natural scenery. ranch and
stock scenery, herds of sheep and cat,
tie, pictures of the bands of elk roam
ing in Jackson's hole, mining, agricul
tural and irrigation scenes. and many
others, making one of 'the most attract
i've and artistic volumes ever issued
by a western state. The text of the
volume, as Mr.. Chatterton says, is in
tended to convey some idea Of the mar
velous richness of one of the grandest
states in the Union. whose broad acres
TEEN with animal life, whose noun
taina are filled with a wealth Of pre-
clous metals, whose plains ard hill
sides are dotted with thousands Of
head of cattle. sheep and horses. ant
whose climate is noted Tor the purit,
of its air, the beauty Of its sunshine
and the health-giving properties OF III

BOATS ARE SUNK
SHARP FIGHT AT PORT ARTHUR
LEAVES OPPOSING FLEETS
EVEN AS TO LOSS.
Admiral Makaroff SaIlies Forth With
Russian Torpedo Boats and En-
gagged Japanese Mosquito Fleet
French Naval Experts Doubt Wis
dom Of Move-Far East War News.

New York, March l2.-Admiral Max
Arthur squadron.
A reconnaissance by Russian torpedo
boats brought on a sharp fight with the
Japanese mosquito fleet, supported by
cruisers. Each side lost a torpedo
boat.
The Russian admiral dashed out
with two cruisers to cover the retreat
of his mosquito squadron, but found
himself outnumbered.
The fact that the admiral steamed
out to the rescue with but two small
unprotected cruisers may indicate that
his heavy ships had not steam up and
that they were too badly crippled to
move.

Mr.. .Chatterton and those who have

AdmiraI's Wisdom Doubted.

Paris, March 12.-Naval experts Sc
riously doubt the wisdom of Admiral
Makaroff. Russia's new naval COM
mander, in the far east, who has estab-
lished a new order of affairs at Port
Arthur. The Japanese are pleased at
the continuance of the admiral's az
gressive policy, for by his methods in
each engagement a torpedo boat is ex-
changed for a much larger and more
costly torpedo boat destroyer. Even
exchange OF losses such as occurred
Wednesday night would soon give the
Japanese the complete mastery, so far
as mosquito fleets are concerned.

WIFE BY COMMON
Law CONTRACT
Mrs. Anna Tagg Claims she
Lived With Late John
Shelley.
BROWNS v HOUSE
Formal Dedication Of New Building
March 15elndications That Large
Crowd Of Brown County People
Will Attend.

Deadwood. S. D., March 12.-Claim-
of John Shelley by common law con-
tract, Miss Anna Tagg, who now gives
her name as Mrs. Anna Shelley, has
commenced suit in the courts by which
She hopes to acquire possession of an
estate valued at $55, 900. This consists
chiefly of mining property, situated adj
joining the Homestake mine at Lead
and held under United States patent.
Shelley died at Deadwood very sud-
denly several months ago., aged about
SO. and supposedly unmarried. He had
come to the Black Hills in 1876 and had
acquired a fair sized fortune by hard
work and earnest application. Immedi-
ately after his death the woman filed
a petition asking that she be appointed
Administrative of the estate, stating
that h vas the widow of the deceased
and Offering proofs that she had lived
with him as his wife. although no mar
riage ceremony had beer performed.
Her petition elected protests from
creditors of the Shelley estate inc from
Luke ]. Shelley of Rochester, N. Y, a
nephew of the deceased, who claims to
be the legal heir. AT the hearing In
county court the application of the
m was denied and Joseph NJ.
Rickle of Deadwood was appointed adj
ministrator. with the consent of all the
parties.
The case promises to bring on a stub
born legal fight, in which some que
lions of law not often resorted to VII
be argued. 1t Is admitted that Shelley
had lived with the woman several
months before his death, which in fact
occurred In her apartments in q Dead.

where Umbrellas Come to Grief.

New York Times: III I were a stat
istician." said the motorman who had
been obliged to stop the car for five
minutes and give a man with a broken
umbrella q nance to extricate the re-
mains from the slot In the tracks. Il
would fnd out what percentage Of the
umbrellas that are broken in the course
OF q day meet their doom In the tracks
wouldn't be afraid to bet money that
I'd ind that fully two-thirds of them
get smashed that way.
THE accidents are not due to poorly
constructed tracks or the carelessness
Of railway employees. but to the fool
lshness OF the people who carry UNI
brellas. Somehow. most folks have a
habit Of jabbing them into every con-
venient crevice. The slots in the car
tracks offer the greatest inducement
for this form of exercise, and the mar
who can resist giving them a dig with
his umbrella or walking stick as he
passes by ID strong minded, indeed. So
deeply ingrained Ia The desire to test
the capacity of that slot that some men
who have missed the mark at the nrst
Ming have actually been seen to stou
stock still In front OF an approaching
car to give q second or third dig. II
necessary, to find out II the slot was
really open or II 1t was just q line OF
beauty drawn down the center of the
street by some enterprising member OF
the Municipal Art society. With plenty
OF 6lockheads OF that kind abroad can
anybody wonder that street car tracks
have become the foe OF umbrellas and
walking eticks?"
