CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of it in Laramie But Daily
Growing Less.

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body so
delicately constructed.
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood. When they fail the blood be
comes foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there
is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica'
tons of kidney trouble. 1t is the kid
ney's cry for help. Heed it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and invigorate the
kidneys; help them do their work;
never fail to cure any case of kidney
disease.

c SAM INVITED.

Representative Carl Sieverts of AL
bany county believes he has struck the
keynote of the bounty matter. He has
introduced a joint resolution asking
congress to investigate the question
of the killing of predatory wild animals
in the western states with a view to
their determination by the national
government.
the national government should take
hold of his matter and pay the bill,
and he will find a large number of peO-
pie who will agree with his views.
Wolves. coyotes and other predatory
wild animals are a menace to all the
people of the entire west II If the
burden is placed upon the entire ia.
ton it would be light indeed. Another
argument brought by Mr.. Sieverts is
hat government control would elimi-
nate the difficulty now experienced
through the operation of a different
law in zach state. The government, act.
ing over the entire area, woulr have
one law for all and thus equity would
b" established.
The gentleman is also of the opinion
hat coyotes interfere materially with
the operations of the agricultural de
partment in eXterminating scab, as
they travel from one bed ground to
another. wallowing in "a and
certainly spreading disease from one
band of sheep to another. 1t is impos'
sible to cure sca1 in coyotes, SO the
next best thing is to kill them. and the
gentleman from Albany is of the opin-
ion that the department of agriculture
should carry on his work in connec-
ton with its efforts to exterminate
contagious diseases among cattle and
sheep.
Sucresc IN the idea

Success to the idea.

The Republican notices that the
northern papers invariably refer to the
population of Albany county as being
5000 or $3.50, as the spirit moves them.
The only authority under the sun they
have for the cures given is Secretary
Ch~atterton's little book. in which he
gives the population of Albany county
in 1900 at 1904. He shows an, in
crease in the vote between 1900 and
1904 and yet arrives at the conclusion
that We have lost in population. The
correct figures, based on the vote of
1900 and the increase as shown by the
vote of 1904 are 1861. To be fair, the
latter figures must be used and the
people of this county will not change
them till the census of this year is
taken.

fusing to reveal anything, he was
stretched up with an ugly rope around
his neck, and held in a choking posi-
ton until he was almost dead. Being
let down, he again declined to talk. He
was strung up again, and this time, be
ginning to fear that his W life would
be taken then and there, volunteered
to make a confession. From this it ap-
peared that he had started out with,
the gang to go to Medicine Bow, and
was separated from the party and fail
ed to reach the railroad with them.
Dutch Charley, n of the captives,
was, however. with the gang, and prov.
ed to have been the very man who had
first fired upon the deputies. AS he had
told the story to Manuse. these two
men had gotten upon the train o the

into a n in the Elk mountains and
came near going upon the scoundrels
Just as they were leaving camp after
remaining all night. The robbers left
hurriedly, tossing the burning chunks
from their fire into a stream of water
near the camping place and taking to
their horses. Being well mounted, the
robbers stopped a few rods away and
concluded to watch the movements of
the officers, being concealed them,
selves. The officers coming up to the
fire, one of them dismounted and stuck
his hand into the ashes. exclaiming to
his comrade:
I'VE are close upon their heels. It's
hot as hell"
Yes. you son of a B.. its pretty
damned hot, and We'll just give you
a chance to find out how hot hell is
Thus responded Dutch Charley fol-
his gang. at the same time drawing a
bead IN the dismounted officer and
notifying him to prepare to die. He at
tempted to mount, but was shot down
by Charley as he got up. The other
officer attempted to escape by flight,
but a dozen bullets were sent flying
after him as his horse ran at full speed
down the canon, n he fell dead with
three holes through his body, the gang
then disbanding n making their
escape.
This story of Manuse's was sufficient
to seal the fate of Dutch Charley. 1t
was decided that as the killing of the
deputies had taken place in Carbon
county and not in Albany, he should be
tried there, and he was put on the
train and started for Rawlins for trail,
He never reached his destination. He
was taken off of the train when near

FIRING AT

In view of the fact that the delega
tion from Albany county secured the
enactment OF every measure our peo-
pie were interested in, the attack OF
the Boomerang upon our lawmakers
certainly comes with very bad grace.
Last week the same paper printed with
apparent endorsement an attack made
by a northern paper upon this county,
a it be possible that it is the pur
pose of the democratic organ to throw
its little but waning influence on the
side of our enemies?
So far az Albany county is concern
ed, it has secured the repeal of the
agricultural college law, the transfer
of the penitentiary grounds to the Uni
rersity OF Wyoming and a three
eighths of a mill tax for university pur
poses. This is of course for the bene
fit of the state institution, but is Of
local interest and of local aid.
Aside from this, if the Wyoming leg
islature had passed no other act thar
the land bill, it would have served the
people well. But there were many goot
acts passed The Eighth Legislature

The men awoke with a start, and al
most in an instant five pairs of hands
shot into the air. There was but one
exception in obeying the command, and
that exception was noticed in the one
from whom it. would have naturally

From the Portland (Ore.) Telegram.
Senator Howe has introduced a bill
that carries number of amendments
to the initiative and referendum law
as it stands on the statute books at
the present time. Many Of these
changes are in order that the law may
be more easily carried out, but an i'm
portant feature is named.
1t will permit friends or opponents
of any measure to, have, their argu-
ments printed by the state at the ex-
pense of the. people having the mat
ter in hand instead of having the par
ties having their own arguments print
ed and then submitted. The bill also
does away with the necessity for hay

tax assessments to be paid in cash. If,
then. you can rent all the land you
need for money-making purposes and
have the priority right to keep it as,
long as you need it, or your offspring
needs it, the idea is feasible and it is
now in practical use for years in large
areas in Australasia. Some American
modification of this so-called single
land tax system will no doubt have to
be developed by us as matter of self
protection against the rapacity of the
Christian men who now control the
land resources of America and build
on that foundation caste of monopo-
lists which will destroy our democracy
even as the Roman patricians de-
stroyed that democracy, by shifting
taxation from the land they controlled
on to the people, who in turn had to
come back to the patrician owners of
the land for a chance to make living.

California
From the Sacramento Bee.
The senate and assembly commit
tees on constitutional amendments
held meeting in the assembly
chamber Jan. %, at which the pro-
posed constitutional amendments now
before the legislature looking to the
adoption of the initiative and refer
endum were discussed. There was a
fair attendance of members of both
branches of the legislature, together
with a number of citizens interested
in the movement.
Speaker Frank c. Prescott, OF the
assembly, introduced DR.. George
Gates, president of Pomona college,
as chairman Of the evening. DR..
Gates made short Introductory
speech, in which he said he was deep
" interested in the question OF direct
legislation, viewing it from the stand
point of a moralist and educator.
He then introduced George H. Dun
lap of Hollywood, secretary Of the
direct legislation league Dunlap said
hts object was to explain the purposes
of the proposed constitutional amend
ments now before the legislature.
One amendment proposes the inltia-
tive and referendum in the cities and
counties Of the state, and another in
cities and counties consolidated gov
ernmentS.
In the latter class only matters re-
1ating to franchises ana the drawing
of contracts can be acted upon, while
that proposed for the state, outside
of consolidated cities and counties, is
more general and permits of a wide
range of subjects being voted upon dl-
rectly.
A. r. Sprague of this city was, then
introduced. He said direct legislation
is the most advanced step in this
democratic country When certain
percentage of voters believe certain
law should be enacted they can pre-
sent it to the electors, but if it is not
adopted, the matter ends there, for a
time, at least.
The initiative, without the referen-
dunn. would be worse than useless, for
the majority must rule to insure the
safety of the community.
In the course OF his remarks, Mr..
Sprague said:
Popular government must always
rest, if it is to be safe and stable, up
on the will of the majority, and what
ever plan can be adopted to ascertain
more clearly and definitely what this
will of the majority is helps in the
very highest degree to the permanent
cy of true democracy.

for certain course of political action

wise politician has remarked cater

is used for that it is an absurdity tc
say that it affords assurance to the
voter endorsing it that its declarations

himself to two points made by the

no need of the referendum.
