tor Will follow. There is no sense in
letting this town go to seed
There you have as honest an express
sion OF purpose and opinion as could
drip from the PEN. The editor means
1t, and he doesn't care whether the
mayor belongs to his party or not.
When the mayor OF a larger city
makes a request for a general cleaning
up of the city, one paper comedies
with him regardless of everything in
the nature of politics, another comes
out and says there is a graft in the
street cleaning department, another
thinks it is an opening wedge to Snug,
gle a new alderman into the council,
and another is wary of the proclama'
ton on general principles. All OF this
grows out of the new policy of indi
rectness and misrepresentation.
For the concentration of honest eff
fort and the maintenance of true civic
pride, the weekly papers still holt

Canada Not With Us.

1t vas the general impression h a
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 pool 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.

T. c. Dickson, Of ia East Seven

sey, Wyo., says.
There are scores of people like me
annoyed at intervals with attacks OF
backache, who are at a loss to know
some Of them much more painful THAI
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 back ached and the
action and condition of the kidney Sc
c%retions were not right. l had always
taken as little medicine as possible but
| 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

cations of either weakened Or overey-
cited kidneys. During the interim
though l have resorted to the use Of q
few doses of cans Kidney Pills, when

remedy is very valuable"

the measure that they have sufficient
power to pass it over his veto, but com,

contractors are now considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of fining the strikers 800

as many strikers as contractors the

MORTON HAS NOTHING BUT
PRAISE.

A good deal has been said recently
in relation to strained relations be-
tween Secretary Paul Morton and Pres.
ident Roosevelt and it must be admit
ted that there has been some founda-
ton for the reports. but in spite of the
fact hat the president is ardently ad-
vocating an act that will give the in
terstate commission power
to make railroad rates and that Mr..
Morton is a railroad man who is thor
oughly imbued with the idea that the
power of the corporations should be
supreme, they have nothing but good
words for each other-at least in pub
lie. After the president returned from
his Colorado hunting trip he spoke in
the highest terms of Morton and now
Paul gets right back at him with the
following choice bouquet:
He is, taken all in all, II of the
most remarkable Of all of the great
men who have occupied the White
house. AS earnest in his love of coun-
try as Washington, as far-seeing as
Jefferson. as courageous as Jackson,
and as much opposed to human slav-
cry in all forms as Abraham Lincoln,
he stands robust in his integrity and
sturdy in his determination that there
shall be a square deal all around. y

THE SPIRIT OF WEEKLY PAPERS.

There is something refreshing about

dailies from larger centers of ponula-

inoculated with the virus of yellow
Journalism, with a few notable excep-
lions.
The pile OF weekly exchanges, how
ever, indicates that the country edi-
tors have grasped readily that part of
the new phase OF yellow journalism,
which might be termed enterprise. but
have refused to follow the sensational
and unreliable methods of the larger
sheets. The type is cleaner and
brighter than before; pictures are fire.
quently used to make the pages at
proper display of advertisements, and
the press work is much better as a
rule.
But through 1t all, the weekly paper
has remained true to Its principles,
and its editor has his forefinger upon
the public pulse. When the editor con
fers with the mayor and discovers that |
the chief executive of the town wants
the streets cleaned, he prints some
thing like this:
Mayor so-and-So calls u attention
to the fact that the streets need clear

Following is the summary of the
weekly crop bulletin issued by Sec
ton Director W. S. Palmer from the
Cheyenne office of the Wyoming Sec
ton on Tuesday, with the remarks
from the correspondents in Albany,
Carbon and Laramie counties:
The week opened cool with frosts
quite general during the first three
days, but much warmer weather pre-
vailed before the close, giving about
the first good growing weather of the
season. Rain was general over the
state on the 18th, and most parts of
the state received a good amornt Of
moisture, the rainfall being heavy owe
much of the state.
The week was the most favorable
of the season, although the average
temperature for the week was below
the normal. Work was pushed rapid
" during the week, and late seeding
nearly completed, although some still
remains to be done. Early sown grain
is up. and is making fair growth, al
though warmer weather is needed for
its rapid growth. Gardens are nearly
all in, and some early garden stuff is
already up.
Grass is making good growth, and
ranges are now in fine condition, with
prospects for excellent feed. Stock is
in good condition. Little or no irriga.
ton has been necessary in the state
so far this spring. All streams are
carrying a good supply Of water. The
warmer weather is beginning to melt
the snow in the mountains, and rivers
are rising slowly.
