Powder Explosion Blows Jesus Vega to
 Atoms.

Jesus Vega was the powder man" at the Shannon mine. 1t was his duty to carry the powder from the maga- zine to the men employed in the mine. Yesterday at about II o'clock he loaded up with fuse, caps and about twenty-five sticks of giant, and started for the tunnel, which is the entrance of the mine. In some un- accountable manner the dynamite exploded before the tunnel was into atoms. So completely was the work done that only small pieces of the body were recovered.

It will probably be month or six weeks before the Clifton Water com panv will be able to supply its patrons with good pure water. The continued floods have prevented the company from laying their mains from the pumping plant to town. As a temporary expedient water is now being pumped from the river into the mains. It would be well for Consum- CTS to boil this water before using it for drinking or culinary purposes. otherwise they must expect more or less sickness. The company this week commenced dreconstructing their mains. but the completion of the work depends altogether upon the stage of water in the river.

Canada Not With Us.

1t was the general impression that
Canada was only awaiting an invita-
ton to become part Of the United
States, but when the question was pre-
scented to 300 of their prominent peo-
pie, not one favored the plan. This
caused great surprise and considerable
comment. Another event that has also
caused considerable comment is the
wonderful cures being made every day
by the famous Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Doctors and druggists every
where have been interested and surpris-
ed at its marvellous power, which often
affects a cure when other remedies had
failed. If your stomach is weak, and
you suffer from poor appetite, heart
burn, indigestion, dyspepsia, costive-
ness. cramps, headache, biliousness,
female complaints, backache, or ma
laria, fever and ague, the Bitters will
cure you. Try a bottle today. 1t will
please you.

What The Earth Produces.

The earth has nourished us through un.
known ages of human existence. Is it not
true that the earth supplies us with every.
thing that we really require for existence
Have you ever thought that it is probable
that the earth supplies us with the means
to keep our bodily vigor, our health, if we
only knew it? The animals know by n.
stinct what is good for them and will search
until they find in some plan, what they
need for correcting indigestion or constipa-
don. etc. Is it, therefore, not possible that
there are roots and herbs supplied by nature
which will cure the diseases that afnict
human kind That is why DR.. Pierce, of
Buffalo, N. ", has such faith in his rMed-
ical Discovery Years ago, when he was
in general and active practice, he found
that a combination of certain herbs and
roots made into an Alternative extract, with.
out the use of alcohol, would always put
the stomach into a healthy condition, nour-
ish the tissues, feed the blood and nerves
and put healthy tone into the whole
system.
Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
restores the lost flesh by curing diseases Of
and nutrition and enabling the perfect di-
Restion and assimilation of food from which
hesh and strength are made.

MORE EVIDENCE.
It is Coming in Rapidly in Laramie.

Evidence IN the following subject
will prove of interest to every Laramie
reader. So many people go through
the same experience daily. This pub
lie statement should be proof positive
to every wavering doubter. Read it
carefully.
James Larson, Of 615 First street,
says: owing to a strain caused by
over exerting myself l suffered a great
rheumatism in my right arm and a dull
aching in my loins. During that time
1 tried different remedies but If I had
obtained any marked success, l never
would have gone to the Laramie Drug
Co.'s store for Doan's Kidney Pills.
They quickly, quietly and very thor
oughly created a healthy action of the
kidneys and when the s%ecretions from
those organs became FORMAL backache

the merits of this preparation"

two tons being equal to three or more.
This hay is very fattening either alone,
or better still, fed with beardless bar
leey hay. Il recommend beardless bar
ley hay because it has 10 waste to it,
all stock like it n do well on it or
with corn fodder or kafir corn, etc.
You can keep many more hogs on a
ranch where you have ar alfalfa patch
or two. An acre will keep fifteen to
twenty. 1t is better to divide your hog
lots; hogs don't like and will not eat
old growing alfalfa. 1t must be young.
A little grain fed daily when in the
pasture will give big returns; headed
wheat is also good. A small lot where
the chickens cap get at it will help;
it is a big saving, and your chickens
will be more healthy and will give
more eggs. AS to cows, | need not say
what al immense saving can be made
by feeding alfalfa to your milk cows;
| am speaking of the ranches where
the general crops are grain, where we
seldom ind good COW feet except in
the spring, will enable you to have
your COWS fresh in the fall. Alfalfa
and beardless barley hay make a mag
nificent COW feed. You will (by hay
ing the right kind of COWS, get lots of
rich milk, make plenty of butter when
it is at the highest price, in the spring
when the grass is good.
Sow alfalfa alone. 1t has beer rec
commended to SOW with a nurse crop,
but results have been disastrous be-
cause after you cut your nurse crop
you leave the young tender alfalfa ex-
posed to the hot sun, having taken the
shade nurse crop away, and it is too
tender and so dries out. Do not get
discouraged if for the first year or two
it does not come up to your Cxpecta-
tons. Recollect it takes three and
sometimes four years to arrive at ma
turity. This does not mean you will
have to wait that long for returns. You
get returns after the first year of SOW
ing. Get seed that has been raised on
dry land, not irrigated seed. 1t will
do better. l cannot too strongly i'm
press upon you the Importance of get
ting the best seed. Like produces like
and it is being demonstrated every day
by men making a special study of the
same, that by using the best seed we
get larger and surer returns, let alone
the fact that by buying the cheaper al
falfa seed we pay a very big price for a
lot of worthless weed seed.
Alfalfa will not grow on wet land;
that is, where water stands, as it rots
the roots. 1t requires w~ell-drained
land. Cut the hay when the first flow
ers appear. 1t is important to be pre-
pared to cut when the time arrives, in
asmuch as sometimes the weather
turns hot and the first thing you know
you are behind with your cutting and
your alfalfa is in full bloom, resulting
i n inferior quality of hay.

A NEW ISSUE INVOLVED.

The ditch now being constructed at
the head of the Big Laramie for the
purpose of diverting a large portion of
the Laramie valley drainage to the
Poudre is likely to bring before the
courts an issue upon which they have
not as yet rendered a decision. The
courts have held that prior appropria-
ton for beneficial uses gives title to
state boundaries are not to be consid-
cred in the matter of ownership. This
Is now the general rule laid down, 1t
having been decided in Montana, Ida
no, Wyoming and Colorado. But there
is another rule that the courts have
made in the transfer of water rights,
and that is hat a right may not be
transferred from one piece of land to
another if a neighbours rights are in
jured thereby. And this question may
soon be called in question in the fight
for the waters of the Big Laramie
river.
Up at the head of the Laramie a st.
Louis company, aided by some Colo
RADIO men, has purchased a number of
turning the ranches into grazing lands
and divertiug the water hitherto used
for irrigating meadows into a canal
leading to the valley of the Poudre,
-.l--- - - H. ,,~l g., ;Dtt~ur
rich sugar and potato lands. AT the
first blush it would appear that they
have a perfect right to transfer the
water rights from the ranches they
have purchased to the lands in the
Poudre valley, but another question
ia involved. By the %transfer of this
water to another watershed the rights
of the landowners lower down on the
Big Laramie are very seriously injur-
ed, for the reason that no seepage re-
turns to the river for their benefit. The
transfer is therefore an irreparable in
Jury to the neighbor below and to that
extent becomes a question for the
courts to pass upon.
In this valley the people should unite
to fight the common enemy. The diff
ferences between the Wheatland De-
velopment company and the ranchmen
Of the Laramie plains should be speed
lily adjusted and all should make de-
mand upon the people of Colorado that
no water be taken from the Big Lara
mie river to the injury Of prior appro-
p~riators.
The Republican believes that the
law and equity is on the side of the
Wyoming men and that they will be
sustained in a contention of this ma
ture. Under existing conditions our
rights are being very seriously leopard

l remember a delightful little sup

myself. Mr.. Beecher had occupied
part of the evening with a stirring lee.
ture on some topic relative to the
crisis of the moment. There had
been talk of a new federation OF
states, from which New England
should be excluded. The lecturer had
said: 81 take it that there will be
patching and darning on our national
map when New England is left out
In the cold" He had also humorous
ly commented upon the grandiose
style Of Yankee lying in comparison
with that of our English relatives. At
the supper which followed Mrs. Stowe
said to her brother: Henry, when
you were a boy, you used to lie in
that lordly Yankee fashion Of which
you spoke in your lecture just now"
