CITY SHOULD RESPOND.

Some time ago a number of the
patriotic ladies of the City of Laramie
raised a fund for the benefit of the
veterans of the Spanish war. They
performed a great deal of good and
sought to in some way perpetuate the
memories of those living and those who
had gone before. Those ladies, under
the leadership of Mrs. Anna b. Holli-
day, sought at that time to secure a
couple of lots in tie city cemetery in
which to bury the bodies Of soldiers
not members of the Grand Army of
the Republic who are now scattered
throughout the burying ground and
whose graves are likely to become lost
to the memory of the living. 1t was a
worthy object, sought in a s~elf-sacrific-
ing, loyal manner but for some ga
son no action was at that time taken
by the mayor and council. The matter
was referred to a committee and like
the old soldiers-faded from earth. 1t
should be revived and the ladies given
the ground they wish. They have suf-
ficient money to put a stone coping
around the ground and to transfer
thereto the bodies of the soldiers now
lying in the potter S field and elsewhere
in the city cemetry. At this season,
when patriotism is moving the hearts
of men, is the time to take action.

LARGE Gifts to Charity.

Donations and requests for last year
total nearly half a billion of dollars, as
compared with about $123, 000, 900 in
1901, which was then the record break
ing year.. The record-breaking medi-
cine for the year 1904 was Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, it having been the
mean of restoring more sickly peo-
pie to robust health than any other.
1t is really a wonderful medicine for
those whose stomach has become
weak, whose liver is inactive or whose
kidneys are unable to perform their
proper functions. Thousands of such
sufferers use it exclusively. 1t posi-
lively restores the stomach to its nor
NAL condition and thus cures indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, nausea, co~stiveness,
bloating, heartburn, sleeplessness, fe-
male disorders, cramps, or malaria, fe-
yer and ague. Try it today. Dur pri-

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

Governor Brooks, in an interview in
the Cheyenne Tribune, says it pays to
advertise. Some weeks ago the state
commissioner of public lands, Mr.. r.
P. Fuller, inserted advertisements in
papers of the several counties of the
state covering the lands owned by the
state subject to lease and since that
time the applications from the people
have been coming in at a very crafty
ing rate. In speaking of the leasing
Of state lands the governor said:
THE state lands bring more revenue
in to the state treasury than anything
except taxation and since advertising
the lands which were still open for
lease We are receiving many new ap-
plications from all over the state. We
have fixed the rate of lease at fifty
cents an acre for lands which have
no water and one dollar for lands
where water can be had for stock. OF
course these rates apply only where
there Is no competition for the land.
"Mr. Fuller is getting his system into
good working order and the land leas-
ing business promises to be still more
a source Of revenue to the

MONDAY, MAY %, 1905.
MEMORIAL DAY.

Each recurring anniversary of Me-
mortal day brings the veterans of the
civil wal and their honored dead clos
er to the hearts of the entire American
people. Time alone brings out clear
and distinct great events of history.
During the progress of e~poch-making
national tragedies the people are too
much absorbed in the heartrending
transactions to fully appreciate their
value in preserving and uplifting the
nation.
Slavery had become so imbedded in
the national life that blood alone could
wipe 1t out. 1t became necessary that
a great sacrifice must be made for the
benefit of the entire people. Some
fathers, brothers and sons must go
down to death in order that those re-
naming might enjoy greater blessings,
but their actions were not fully appre-
ciated at the time of the great strug-
gle. Now we look back with n feel
ing of reverence and are fully aware of
the meaning of a united nation-of the
death of slavery from the American
continent.
Memorial day has come to be more
than a holiday upon which the vete-
rams of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie pay tribute to their departed com
rades. The patriotic citizens of the
republic o fully appreciate that 1t
belongs to them to also lay a flower up
on the consecrated graves Of the he
roes gone before. Did we say conse-
Grated? Yes, but not by the acts of
the living. The loyalty, patriotism,
self-sacrifce and love of the old flag
which impelled the veterans of 81 to
lay down their lives c~onsecrated the
ground in which lies the bodies of our
dear departed. They fought, suffered
and died that government of the peo'
pie, by the people and for the people
might not perish from the face of the
earth"

sey, Wyo., say
There are scores of people like me
annoyed at intervals with attacks of
backache, who are at a loss to know
what to do when these attacks occur,
some of them much more painful than
mine and of much longer duration. The
important point is how to stop them.
particularly SO if the party has spent
a good deal of time and a good deal of
money experimenting. For three years
prior to 1899 my pack ached and the
action and condition of the kidney Sc
cretions were not right. l had always
taken as little medicine as possible but
1 knew l required something to assist
nature and happening to read a state,
ment about Doan's Kidney Pills, l
took a course of the treatment. 1t
stopped the backache and other inli.
cations of either weakened or overeT,
cited kidneys. During the interim,
though l have resorted to the use of a
few doses of oan's Kidney Pills, when
ever my kidneys plainly told me they

PUT A BUNCH OF FLOWERS ON
THEIR GRAVE.

Two little orphan children in their
young and tender years.
With little hearts affectionate and
brave,
Cried with voices merry, Wei go to
the cemetery,
To put a bunch of flowers on ma
mas grave.
Our parents both are dead" the little
orphans said.
Their sweet and parting kiss to us
they gave,
Now they are dead n gone, and We
are left alone;
But well put a bunch of flowers on
their grave
Our papa was a soldier and mamma
vas a nurse,
And many a dying man she tried to
save
Amidst the lannon's rattle they fell on
the field of battle
So we'll put a bunch of flowers on
their grave"
And many a gallant soldier for their
comrades that are gone
Who fell in the fight so glorious and
bra
Will shed a tear and weep DER their
ashes that now sleep,
And put a bunch of flowers on their
grave.
No doubt there are some among us who
have lost a friend so dear
Now the green grass DER their bodies
mown and wave
For them will kneel and pray, on this
memorial day,
And put a bunch of flowers on their
grave.

WHY ONE is E
Many hypothesis Are Advanced by
the Scientists.

Many hypothesis Are Advanced by
the Scientists.
Scientists disagree as to the cause
OF drowsiness. Some curious and re-
markable reasons are assigned for the
desire everybody has for sleeping. 1t
is attributed by some people to an
accumulation in the system of the
poisonous products of the wear and
tear of h body during the day.
There seems to be some measure of
truth in this. for in many diseases
the patients are often ~sleepless. An
other hypothesis is that the nerve
cells of the brain dwell apart from
each other, as it were. during sleep.
The brain is composed of millions Of
tiny bodies called cells, each having
several delicate prolongations. or
branches, for the purpose of communi-
eating with other cells. When the
brain is fully active all these cells are
in contact, or ready to be in contact,
with one another: but the time oc-
~casionally comes. it is thought, when
the branches of all the cells curl up,
and their isolation means that COM
plete communication between the cells
ceases. The state of body and mind
that follows is what we call sleep.
The most probable explanation of
sleep, however, is that in some way or
9th sr the internal condition of the
cells is changed, partly from exhaus-
ton and partly because Of diminished
stimulation from other parts of the
body.
