Deweys Acquitted.

The Dewey trial was given to the
jury at Norton Friday evening.
Twenty-eight hours later the verdict
Of mot guilty" was rendered. The
trial has been one Of great cost to
Cheyenne county, which is thinly
settled and will find 1t heavy burden
to pay the expense. This trial was
for the murder OF Burch Berry.
Charges against the defendants for
the murder Of the other BerryS still
remain hut the evidence is the same
in each case and conviction would
be doubtful in the event of their trial
1t is probable that the famous case
is now settled.

Tin Horn Politicians.

In this state, and i'm every state, a
number of gents live whose only viSi
BILE means of support is perennial
Office holding. They are the tin-hOrns
Of politics. They don't care for can
didateS, except as candidates may
keep these tin-hOrnS i'm Office. They
aren't above stealing when they are
within the law and they are natural
grafters. In towns where they live
their names are no good; they don't
pay their debts, and they have bad
records in social matters. Any miser.
able little law, insurance or real eS'
tate business keeps them empluyed
when they are out Of office, and The
are eking out an eXistance. Yet when
they 20 10 Tupeka or To- a state CON
vsnti0n these politicians are some
body. They put on clean clothes, put
ten dollars and a railroad pass in their
pockets and Swell up like a dead COW.
Why should il be a crime for editors
who have to work hard for all they
get 10 discredit these politicians ?
Editors owe these fellows nothing;
newspaper owes its readers everything
Instead Of building up these tin-harn
poiiicianS, why should not the news
papers stand by their readers, and tell
The truth about these professional
gentleman of the road? They are MT
honest: they are not the men to lead
parries and movements; when they
come 40 rs leaders why not give them
both barrels ?-EmpOria Gazette.

Business Change.

A deal was cOnSumn ated last wet k
whereby Il. Frank StinSon becomes
the owner and proprietor of the b. NJ
g. S. Hardware Company, l. q. Me-
Dowell and n. G Bracken, his part
ners retiring. In the transaction six
hundred acres Of land formerly par
of the StlnSon ranch, were Transferred
10 Mcdowell and Bracken Mr. Stin-
son will devote his time and attenl ion
TO the business aud Mr.. Mcdowell
will probably continue his stock rade.
What Mr.. Bracken intends to do we
have not yet learned. This firm
which was organized about two years
ago has built up a good business and
it is probable that Mr. Stnsnn Will
enjoy similar prosperity. The Herald
wishes each member success in his
new field Of labor.

Lettuce Prevents Smallpox.

Don't forget that lettuce prevents
smallpox. o.
So far as it is possible for a human
being to be protected from catching
smallpox, lettuce is protection.
No need for vaccination whatever
Any person who eats small quantity
Of lettuce twice day, morning and
evening, is as we'll protected against
smallpox as it is possible for any one
to be.
To be sure one ought to be clean,
ought to live in ventilated rooms, and
avoid dirt OF all sorts. Also avoid
contact with people who have small
pOX. Foolish exposure to the conta
gion Of smallpox is not to be thought
OF. But there is no need for vaccina-
tlon.
Go calmly on about your business
Provide a small quantity Of lettuce
morning and evening, and you can
feel sure that you have protected your
self and your family In the best posi-
BILE way against smallpox.
Lettuce is one of the oldest vegeI a.
BILE remedies known to the medical
profession. Long before it was used
as food it was used as medicine. Many
tunes 1t has been claimed that it has
magical or miraculous powers to pre-
vent contagious disease. We believe
this is carrying matters altogether
too far. But lettuce does furnish to
the system exactly what is Mt eded to
prOtect it against the poison Of small
pox.
We defy any one to produce case
OF smalppx that has been contracted
by any person who made daily use of
lettuce as food. If there is any such
case on record, we would be glad to
hear Of it.-Medlcal Talk.

editorial this morning, the sentence
concentrating the aspect of the mes.

self to that journal.
On the whole, the press of London
regards the message as statesman
like. highly courageous and notable
document, which the Morning Post
ventures to think will do more than
any public utterance of recent years
to increase sympathy between Britons
and Americans" following this ex.

Washington, Dec. 6.-With the Sen
ate in session thirteen minutes and the
House fifty-tbree minutes, the last ses-

assembled yesterday. The time of both
bodies was devoted entirely to the
usual formalities of opening day. There
were the greetings between members,
the great floral display and the hun
dreds of visitors, with beautifully
gowned women predominating. Corri-

bers.
The gavels of Senator Frye, presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate, and
Speaker Cannon of the House, fell ex-
actly at IL o'clock.
In each house a committee was ap-<
pointed to wait upon the President and
inform him that Congress was ready to.

colleagues. The visitors applauded his
entrance with cheers and hand-clap-
