A Bullet Proof Vest.

1t Is reported that a vest made OF
bullet proof cloth was recently tent to
the president, to be worn as a protec.
ton against assassination. II THIS
cloth will do all that is claimed for it.
its discovery will be a most valuable
one. especially to all public men
While it is good policy to protect the
system from danger on the outside It
is equally as important to protect it
from the inroad Of disease on the in.
side. For this particular work Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters is highly rec.
commended by physicians everywhere.
1t will tone up and strengthen the
system so effectually that disease can.
not find a foothold. Then it also cures
indigestion, dyspepsia. bloating. diz
%ziness. insomnia. liver troubles and
malaria, fever and ague. A trial will
convince you of its value.

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 n with a bad back;
troubles, from any kidney ills will find
in the following evidence proof that
relief and cure is neal 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. l 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 I
was subject to backache; when in the
acute stage to stoop hurt and the con
traction of a cold brought actual sui.
fering. Doan's Kidney Pills stopped
a very aggravated attack. 1t is now
three years and a half since l made
my original statement, and l just as
emphatically endorse the preparation
today as 1 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.

MONDAY, MAY 1e. 1904.


The Republican has never expert.
enced = campaign in which political
guesses have been so much at variance
with the facts as in the present cam
pAign for the ~gubernatorial nomination.
For more than three weeks last past
the papers of the state and particular
ly the Cheyenne Tribune and some OF
the country weeklies have published
figures giving Mr.. Chatterton almost
everything in sight. They have had
really nothing upon which to base their
statements and the tote of the people
has shown them to be in error every
time.
We can hardly believe the Tribune
would publish figures and say its can.
didate had the nomination "in a walk
hands down." etc, just for the pur-
pose of influencing the vote in its own
county. That is the cheap political
game of a ward heller and we believe
it is above such methods. We must
therefore conclude that it was entire
ly misled and made bad guesses be,
cause of bad advice and inaccurate
sources of information.
The country papers can be excused
because Of the fact that their editors
were carried away by their sympathies
and read only the side they hoped
would win.
From a state standpoint, the contest
has been a friendly n and no open
sores are left. OF course, in a few in,
stances it is probable individuals en-,
tered into the fight with such zeal and
earnestness hat IL will take them some
months to heal, but there is time for
them to come to a full realization of
the fact that there is nothing to be
gained by going over to the enemy.

S STRANGE
CHARACTERISTICS OF A FORMER
BLIND STREET MERCHANT
OF LARAMIE.
Walter Cow Walks the Streets Of Ev.
anston Upon His First Visit Like
an oId-Timer, and Already Knows
the Number Of Telephone Poles
Along the Sides Of Certain Streets.

Walter Cow, a blind man from Colo
RADIO. Is in the city as the guest of his
blind friend. George Jones. says the
Evanston News-Register. Both of
these gentlemen attended a school for
the blind at Colorado Springs. where
they formed a strong friendship. Mr..
Cow may locate here and open up a
confectionery store next to Loewen-
TENS butcher shop.
There is a popularity about this
blind man that battles scientists. He
is stone blind and walks the streets of
Evanston as If he were an old-timer.
He alighted from a train near the
stockyards on Monday and after max.
ing a few inquiries as to now the town
was situated. etc. he made his way to
a hotel unaided. In company with a
representative of the News-Register,
Mr.. Cow walked along the street with
his head turned toward the buildings
and actually counted the number OF
NShSR oAS IA "a oioSn. q
ed for an explanation of his powers he
exclaimed: Il can explain this power
only as instinct. When passing a pole
something seems to press down on my
cheek bone. and by this means l keeI
count of passing objects. l am what
you might term a daredevil, at least
as to fear. | am afraid of nothing and
probably take chances that 1 should
not. If | remain in Evanston l will
handle gasoline and pop my own III
and l assure you that my customers
will not suffer for lack Of courteous
treatment and proper attention"
Mr.. Cow has canvassed the town
with an egg separator and complac.
emily remarked that he had succeeded
in making his rounds without skinning
his shins.

THE SIZE OF RECLAMATION
HOMESTEADS.

In an interview recently Congress
man Mondell stated that he believed
the interior department would fix the
size of homesteads under the Shoshone
canal at so acres. Following is a por
ton of the interview:
The reclamation service, when they
adopted the project. gave notice that
the entries would probably be so acres
SO that those who have taken entries
have done SO with the understanding
that they would be compelled to limit
their entries. except possibly in some
asses where the land may be very
poor.
"As a matter Of fact, the interest OF
the country lies in having sO-acre rath.
er than 160-acre farms under this ca
nal. The more settlers you can get
the better for your country.
Il am under the impression that
the department Is not inclined to be
in a hurry with regard to the opening
Of the segregated tract until the time
arrives when the secretary shall. under
the provisions Of the irrigation law
be In a position to declare the acreage
Of the entries to be 80 acres.
MY advice would be to those who
have alreadymade entries under the ca
nal of more than eighty acres to make
thoir mnrovementa nm ono Of the
eighties. Az q matter of fact, the av.
erage settler will have about as much
as he can do, In my opinion. to pay the
government price for q 80-acre tract"

anticipate this change of season and pre-
pare for it. In this way the ~discomforts

overcome.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, a med
icine for every season of woman's life, will
entirely meet the needs of women at this
