After Annexation.

The foreign representative unofficially
stated that King Leopold is secretly
making overtures 10 various leading men
in the political world, in order to bring
about the immediate annexation of the
Congo Independent State to Belgium.
This decision is due to the impossihIlity
of upholding longer the existing govern

The Congo Independent State is COM
ing TO the front once more as a cause
for international complications
Lord Danman. in London, is credited
with saying that the Belgian Congo
question will be submitted TO the next
peace conference at The Hague, because
present conditions there. it is alleged,
are not satisfactory 10 the powers which
signed the international act relative to
that state. These powers may take
hand in the affair once more. thereby
causing a read1ustment OF King Leo
poidis African administration
From a foreign representative in
Washington who knows the Congo sit
nation IL was learned that hino Leo
pold. on the other hand, is trying TO
convince the powers and the world in
general of the benehcent character Of
his Congo enterprise. He appointed gen.
eral Paul CUsterman governor there, be-
cause of his experience IN the Congo.
and because he is a man of distinction
and ability.
Baron Won Krints. the Austrian ex-
plorer. who recently returned from
Congo, said that his observations have
given him the most favorable impress
sion of the conditions in that country.
"a sojourn in the Congo" the baron
said. would convince anyone of 'the
satisfactory administration of King
Leopold's dependency. The Congo gov
ernment has done everything possible
to improve the conditions. The natives
are better housed, clothed and fed than
they were ten years ago. Factories and
manual training schools for native chill
dren are being maintained by the aCy-
ernment. There are no cases of cruelty,
as has been alleged. Those which oc-

The method of separating u rural
schools into divisions. primary, inter
mediate aud advanced, is being tried in
this county. This method has been
used successfully in some other states
and is attracting favorable comment
here from both teachers and school pa
irons. At the end of the second and
sixth grades the children receive GER
~tifcates of promotion and when the
eighth grade Is completed a diploma is
presented to each pupil.
The district Libraries are steadily in
creasing the number of their volumes,
Several hundred have been added this
year, besides globes, charts and maps
We still suffer in some of our dis
tricts from too short a school term
How this can be overcome and at Least
six months Of school be given to every
child is a question that is still to be
solved in our more sparcely settled
neighborhoods.

CONSUMPTION
Is 1t Inherited and Can It Be cured7

Many of the leading scientists are
spending much time in the study of
this great white plague, and find that
more cases are caused by neglect than
are hereditary.
Neglected coughs and colds gradual
ly weaken the whole pulmonary sys'
TEN. and before people realize it there
is a diseased spot in one lung, splitting
blood soon follows and eventually a
collapse.
Mills, A Druggist, graduate of Phila.
delphia College of Pharmacy, says
there is nothing known to medicine
equal to their cod liver oil preparation
Vinol, for consumption, especially in
its early stages, and while they do not
guarantee it will cure real consumption
they have letters from people who were
given up to die, and who declare they
were saved by Vinol.
Among others Mrs. ]. G. Brown OF
Anderson, Ind, writes, Our daughter
Mary was in consumption and given
up to die by our family physician
Vinol completely restored her to health
and words fail to express our gratitude
for this valuable cod liver oil prepare
ton
Mr.. Joseph Denis of Winslow, Me.
says, 'Vinol cured my son of consump
ton after he had been given up"
I'VE believe Vinol is the most per
feet cod liver preparation known, as il
contains no grease to clog the system
upset the stomach and retard its work
yet it does contain all the curative
medicinal and bodybuilding elements
of cod liver oil actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, and is acceptable tt
the weakest stomach. 1t is worth try
ing on our guarantee" Mills, A Drug

The meeting was the largest ever held
by the association, about 400 members

gathering is a representative one in

The question of fall dipping of sheep

the capital nave been making lightning
changes in their pulpits. Even the

three times in as many years. The

five or six years, the Baptists have
made some changes and Rev. McQuil-
ken of the Presbyterian church has re
Gently resigned. 1t is hard to say just
why all these changes have been made.

The erroneous idea is held by some
that the city canno increase its bond

water works The constitutional pro
vision relating to municipal indebted

thereof, or any subdivision of any
county of the state of Wyoming, shall,
in any manner. create any indebted,
ness exceeding two per centum on the
assessed value of the taxable property
therein: provided. however, that any
city, town or village may be authorized
to create an additional Indebtedness,
not exceeding four per centum on the
assessed value of the taxable property
therein as shown by the last preceding
general assessment, for the purpose OF
building sewerage therein. Debts con

Laramie, Wyo, Dec. -, 1905.
Hon. T. t. lyman, State Superintend-
ent of Schools.
Dear Sir:-Herewith l beg to submit
the annual report from Albany county
for the school year ending September
l, 1905.
The several schools Of this county
are carefully conducted by an efficient
and conscientious corps of teachers,
who spare no effort for the good of
those under their charge.
Realizing the disadvantages under
which the rural teacher is compelled to
work, the authorities, with the aid and
cooperation of the State Educational
association and the state board OF ex
aminers are introducing a course of
reading which Is proving very benefc-
ial to those wide awake teachers who
are DESTROYS of keeping in the van of
progress. 1t is hoped that within a
or two this plan will be placed on
a still more advantageous basis.

County Treasurer William Hicks is
preparing to cancel another block of
$4,000 of Albany county bonds. And
thus Albany county goes on getting out
of debt. This payment cuts the debt
Il approximately 100000. If we can
continue on for seven more years do
ing as we'll as we have during the past
three or four, the debt will be entirely
wiped out, Such a consummation is
~devoutly to be wished. 1t may also be
added that 1t has taken good manage
ment to pay off $4,000 of the eounty's
debt during a period Of less than five
years and to at the same time not levy
any increased amount OF taxes.
