zine venture that promises well. the
Republican has made a somewhat crit
ical examination of the first issue of
his Journal, which is called public
Service and is published in Chicago.
1t covers u field heretofore vacant and
should at once receive a tremendous
patronage. In an article, What We
Are Here For Mr., Gonden says Pub
lie Service will be devoted exclusively
to the gas, electric, water, telephone
and tramway services. 1t will deal
with these public utilities fairly, fully
and inteuigently, showing interesting
and instructive features Of their de
yelopment and management by both
municipal and private corporations.
Mr.. Gonden is not a municipal owner
ship man. He says that by a complete
exhibit Of the facts he will show that
municipal ownership in many Ameri-
can cities is a failure, instead of the
success hat it is generally represent
ed to be.

AS IT o NOW.

The primaries held in Cheyenne last
evening were spirited but not bitter.
1t was practically a straight issue
between the supporters of Governor
Brooks and Mr.. Cosgrif.
The various voting precincts were
closely ~canvassed II Il fair vote
brought out, though much lighter than
III the Brooks hatterton contest in
1904.
The result as published in detail in
another column shows quite a decided
victory for Governor Brooks.
He won thirty out of the forty-two
delegates in Cheyenne and he reports
coming in from the county indicate
hat he win have a majority Of the
forty.three outside delegates to the
county convention and will receive the
entire t~wenty-one delegates from Lara.
ME county in the state convention.
This with the delegates from Albany
county conceded to Governor Brooks
in addition to those already placed in
the Brooks column will, 1t 10Y seems,
give him Il decided majority of the l4l
delegates in the state convention and
insure his nomination on the first bal
lot.
Mr.. Cosgriff has put up a game fight
and has kept the supporters of Mr..
Brooks guessing and jumping but there
was a very marked, popular sentiment
that Governor Brooks has made a good
governor and is entitled to another
term.
1t was this feeling, together with
the governors wide circle of personal
friends all over the state and not any
shortcomings on the part of Mr.. Cos
griff, who no doubt will in time have
his day, that accounts for the success
of the Brooks forces in the various
counties.
Hon. w. r. Schnitger will have the
support of Laramie county's twenty
one delegates for state treasurer and
it is believed he will receive the noml-
nation. The friends of both MIR. Schnlt'
ger and Mr.. Gillette are talking the
latter gentleman for secretary of state
and it is not improbable if Mr.. Gillette
will accept 1t that Cheyenne will en-
joy the society of Mr.. Gillette and his
interesting family for the. next four
years. Mr.. Irvine, however, is said to
be an %aspirant and If so the situation
so far as secretary of state is concern
ed may be somewhat complicated.
Both candidates for governor have
stated that no matter which is nomi-
mated there are to be no sore spots
and that everybody will fall in line and
whoop it up for the ticket.-Cheyenne
Tribune.

In accordance with established u.s.

Lord Avebury, better known as Sir
John Lubbock. was a naturalist even
as a schoolboy at Elton. In his auto
biography Lord Avebury says: AT

they were quick at writing verses and
learning by heart, had much more
leisure than they have now. l devoted
q good deal of mine to natural his
tory and geology, in spite of the re-
monstrances Of my tutor, who thought
that it might have been better occu-
pied on the classics. On one occasion
we were given The Bee as a subject
for a theme. l took some pains with
1t, and my tutor sent for me and asked
me confidentially whether it was all
true. From what he said, 1 inferred
that they rather suspected l was quiz

PITTS FoNDNEss FOR PORT.
Great Statesman's Health Ruined by
Over-lndulqence.

The ruin of Pitts health was attri-
buted to his physicians, who made
him take port in large quantities in
his youth, so that he could not do
without it later. Lord Granville has
seer him swallow a bottle of port in
tumberfuls before going to the House.
His hands shook s much that when
he helped himself to salt he was
obliged to support the right hand with
the left. Stothard, the painter, hap
pened to be one evening at an inn on
the Kent road when Pitt and Dundas
put up there on their way to Walmer.
Next morning the waiter said to
Stothard: How much wine do you

bottles, siri"-Rogers' Table Talk.

stlII Work for Wood carvers

The work of the Independent wood
carver has greatly changed since the
days when the wooden fgurehead was
a necessary part of every ship that
sailed the seas, yet work for the wood
carver has not decreased in quantity
as much as might be imagined, for
with the disappearance of the ships
fgurehead has come a great increase
in architectural carving, the making
of newell posts for stairways, decora.
tive panels and the like. Many wood
carvers are now engaged in making
animals for carrousels, and this work
is very similar to that Of making fig
ureheads, about the same degree Of
art being required and the two prod.
ucts being somewhat comparable as
to size.

ARIZONA.

New Mexico and Arizona I'M be-
come a state unless a majority in each
territory shall vote in the affirmative.
There has been little doubt of the read,
mess OF New Mexico to accept joint
statehood, but 1t has been generally as,
sumed that Arizona would o There
was such a fervor and frenzy of pro,
test while the matter was before con-
gress against what was called an un-
hallowed and hated union with New
Mexico that it was supposed almost
tory would vote in the negative. Con,
gress could not be moved. Its final
word was Joint statehood or nothing"
Some dispatches from Arizona indi
cate hat not all are for rejecting the
congressional offer, In two counties
delegates favorable to joint statehood
have been elected to the republican
territorial convention which is to meet
ley month. In one of the counties
the delegation was elected in spite of
the strenuous opposition of officials
Of the Southern Pacific railroad. 1t
has frequently been said hat the rail
roads and some other corporations
were largely responsible for the pro
tests against joint statehood. They
it is said, would prefer to have Arizo
ma remain a territory, so that they
might continue to enjoy low taxation
and several other profitable privileges
Undoubtedly every citizen of Ari
iona would prefer separate to joint
statehood, but when it comes to the
pinch a larger number of the people
than has been supposed may deem II
better to take half a loaf than no
bread. 1t may be that there was some
b%luffing in the fiery assurances that
Arizona never, never would come into
the union of states linked with New
Mexico.
If the republican party in the terri
tory shall declare for joint statehood
there may be a chance for it The
democrats, however, will probably be
on the other side. So will the corpor
atoms. But their desire to have Ari
iona remain a territory for selfish rea
sons may make votes for statehood
The voters, irrespective of party, may
reason that what is best for the cor
porations will not be best for them

Lineage Of the Mikado.

twenty-second wearer of the crown,

B. C. That is to say, the founder of
the dynasty was a contemporary OF
Nebuchadnezzar. Though n may not
be guilty Of the impoliteness of cali
ing his pedigree in question, it is diff
fcult to believe that the mikado of
1850 years ago was the son of the
sur goddess. Possibly even the pres
emf occupant of the throne has doubts
about it in private.

PERFumEp LAMPS AND RINGS.
They May Be Used as Means Of Dis
Injecting Rooms or Cars.

They May Be Used as Means OF Dis
Injecting Rooms or Cars.
The use of perfume as a ~disinfectant
is well known, and the scented
dandy" has perhaps more hygienic
wisdom than his detra ctors give him
credit for. It is he who is trying to
revive the use of the perfumed foun'
tain ring, an article de luxe which
may either be used as an ornament
or as a means of a pleasant disinfect'
n in stuffy underground trains or in
insalubrious districts.
The ring is an ordinary gold one
fitted with a ball at the back. 1t is
filled by pressing the ball nearly fiat,
and dipping the ring into a cup OF
scent, when the elasticity Of the ball
draws the perfume into the interior
till quite full. BY the least pressure
the wearer Of the ring can cause a
Jet of scent to shed its refreshing
aroma any moment he pleases, and he
may thus act as a benefactor or a
nuisance to those in his vicinity.
The perfume lamp may also be
used as another pleasant method oil
d~isinfecting a room. A ball of spongy
platinum is placed over the center OF
the wick, and is fixed in its position
by a thin glass rod, which is inserted
into the wick. The lamp is then filled
with any scented spirit, and when
lighted is allowed to burn until the
platinum gets red hot. The flame is
then blown out, and a pleasant odor
fills the atmosphere.
