our precious Geo. r. Stallings. He
was born August Is, 1877, and his
whole life had been a constant pleas

enemy we never knew 1T. Gentle and
kind, he was loved by all who knew
him. He had been consistent mem
Der of the Baptist church for long

and died christian death. He as
sured us of his willingness to die, as
he knew he would go to the Saviour

hearts are torn with grief and anguish
at being separated from him, but we
hope to meet him in ''the sweet bye

sorrow. ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

A PRESS COMMENT.
Saratoga Valley Wants Some

Forty millions! Gee! but Wyo-
mings going to be right in it, isn't
she? What Saratoga valley people
need to do is to put forth every eff
fort to see that some OF those forty
millions come this way. 1t is strange,
but all ayes seem to be turned toward
the northern part of the state, to the
entire neglect of the southern part.
Now, we would have you remember,
that we have a spot down here in
southern Carbon county that is worth
looking at. Nowhere is there finer
farming or grazing land than that in
this valley. Nowhere can richer min
eral deposits be found than in the
mountain ranges on either side. No
where can finer medical waters be
found than those that flow out of the
ground here daily. 1t will lot be long
until all eyes will be turned in this
direction, for we are going to have a
railroad, and with the advent of a rail-
will come the development of
such industries as beet sugar fac
tories, wool securing mills, more smell
ters and hundreds of mines in opera
ton. Just mind these things, if you
will, when you have those forty mil
lions in mind.-Saratoga Sun.

VERB NOT HAVING TO WAIT.

The Laramie plains country may not
receive any great amount of money as
a direct result of the expenditure OF
forty millions in the state, but 1t will
forge to the front just the same. A
large number of our ranchmen have
come to the conclusion that first-class
irrigated lands are o valuable for
native hay crops and will bring them
up in a few years from ten dollars per
acre to forty dollars per acre., and with
out the aid of Uncle Sam.
OF course some of the money will
slop over into our valley and We Will
take it in our business. Possibly, In
the future, the reclamation service
may profit by the object lesson given
by our people and aid in the irrigation
of our lands by filling the big natural
reservoir to the west of Laramie.
But we are not going to sit down anu
fold our hands and wait. There is too
much to do and time is precious.

Skull May Solve Mystery.

Sundance, Wyo., April 12.-The dis

spot in the northern part of the county
may possibly solve the mysterious dis
appearance five years ago of John
Vaughn, a wealthy stocEman. Vaughn
and George Brownfield left the Vaughn
ranch, where they were to make a
large stock deal. Vaughn was never
heard of again, Brownfield claiming he
disappeared in the night. 1t has al
ways been believed that Vaughn was
the victim of foul play, and the dis
covery of the human skull, which has
a bullet hole in the forehead, may
solve the mystery surrounding the

WEDNESDAY, APRIL -, 1905.
THE ACT.

During the past few days some of
our citizens have been discussing the
Bankruptcy law and the manner OF
men who have beer taking advantage
of its provisions. 1t seems to be the
impression of the writer's, and OF all
who have given the matter candid con
sideration, that the act is, abused to
ali alarming degree and that it is sim
ply being used by a number of dead
beats to evade the payment of their
honest debts.
No doubt there are cases where hon
orable men are unfortunate and may
with propriety go through bankruptcy,
but if they continue to be honorable
men they must certainly settle with
the men who have extended them cred
it at the earliest possible date. The
bankruptcy act wipes out the Legal
debt, but it does not relieve the credi-
tor from the moral responsibility, and
no honest man can satisfy his con
science by a court decree of this ma
ture.
Many of the men who have taken ad-
vantage of the act have had liabilities
of less than five hundred dollars.
Think of it! An American citizen will
lingtopawn his honor for such a paltry
sum of money. A man who will do
such a thing certainly is lacking in
thn GnA, goruiIilttfa, nf p,nrhnnI
good name and an honorable position
in the community are certainly worth
far more than the trifling amounts the
greater portion of our bankrupts are
selling out for.
1t has been aptly stated that the
thief in the night is just as honorable
as the man who run bills with the
grocer, the butcher and the clothier,
only 10 rush off to the bankruptcy
court to cancel the accounts. The
thief does not put the merchants to the
trouble of waiting upon him. He goes
and tries his level best not TO disturb
any one. But it is different with the
daylight robber. He is generally the
most captious of all customers. The
best there is appeals directly to his
taste and he has everything in the
store down before he makes his selec-
ton. He causes no end of bookkeep-
ing and not a little waste of s%ole-leath-
err in the fruitless endeavor to collect
from him n in some cases it is an
actual relief to the creditor to hear that
he has gone to the bankrupt court to
settle. His name can then be placed
in the n. G. column where it really be-
longs from the first.
The Republican sympathizes with
those honest, capable merchants who
are endeavoring to carr a living In
trade and it has eve %applauded any
action on their part more nearly ap-
preaching the cash system.
By standing squarely together and
reporting to each other all characters
who show a disposition to hetray the
confidence reposed in them, our mer-
chants and professional men can do
much toward r~emedying the evil.
For the beat, at least, cash should be
the watchword.
