Another Matrimonial Riot.

The mob went wild Tuesday
night-in fact, there were about
a half dozen of them working inde-
pendently. Their purpose was the
common one, to make grief for
Frank Hobbs, he having committed
the objectionable offense of reform
ing, getting married and settling
down to respectable citizenship.
First came the kids, who were sat-
isfied with small change, with
which to regale themselves with
cigarets and chewing gum. Then
came a hand or two of independent
marauders; followed by the band,
nice serenade and decent be-
haviour. Later in the evening
the irre sponsible mob awoke the
town with the tin can and horn
announcement that they we're going
into action. The details of what
they did to Mr.. Hobbs, reformed,
are too narrowing for publication in
family paper. There was some
thing lacking somewhere, and a
detachment was detailed to storm
Dan Shelters home and bring him
down town, dead or alive. Then
the happy thought occurred to some
bright mind that o. E. Cannon had
a few coming to him. They got
him, and while bringing him over
town in the triumphal car, the same
tipped over in an irrigation ditch.
Today physicians hope to save his
life. Frank Hobbs, the immediate
occasion of the riot, will recover, ii
he is given perfect rest and quiet.

Will TEST IN IHt COURTS
RIGHT OF MORMONS TO VOTE

A press dispatch from Salt Lake,
dated Tuesday, says: '"rhe right
of the Mormons of Idaho to vote for
civil offices will be tested in an
action to be brought in the Idaho
courts by direction of the democratic
state executive committee. An eff
fort will be made to secure a judi
cial decision that the clauses of the
Idaho constitution which disfran-
chises Mormon devotees are self
operating and do not require stat
utory enactment to give them
vitality.
Such is the statement made by
H. w. Lockhart, of Pocatello,
chairman of the democratic state
committee, who is in Salt Lake.
Chairman Lockhart says that the
test case will be made against Judge
Alfred Bulge, of the Fifth judicia
district, on the ground that, as ;
member of the Mormon church, IN
is disqualified from holding office
Should the contest against Judg
Bulge hold good, it will maxi

democratic candidate for govcrno
of Idaho, governor of the state
Judge Stockslager carried the gen
tile counties of the state and wa
defeated principally by the Mormo
votes. Great significance attaches
therefore, to the result of the ties
case TO be brought against Judg
Bulge.

U. P. DYNAMITED RIVALS.
ADMITS COAL MONOPOLY

Edward E. Clark, interstate COM
merce commissioner, Tuesday re-
sumed the governments investiga-
tion at Salt Lake of conditions af-
fecting the coal trade in the inter-
mountain country and the manner
in which coal lands have been ac-
quired in Utah and Wyoming. The
legal department of the Gould and
Hartman railroads were represent
ed at the hearing and were permit
ted to cross examine the wit
nesses.
E. M Allison, attorney for the
Rio Grande system, in an argu-
ment against permitting the inves :
tigation taking the wide scope
which Commissioner Clark proposes,
admitted there was a monopoly of
the coal trade in the intermountain
country. He insisted, however,
the commission had no authority
to enter on a public investigation
of the manner in which coal lands
were acquired. Testimony in rela-
tion to such matters, he argued,
should be taken in secret, and ths
facts brought out should be sub
mittcd direct to the president in {
special report for such subsequen
action as the president might di
rect.

Battleships to Cost $6,ooo,ooo.

The new b~attleships now being de-
signed in this country and England will
cost about S6,OOO,0OO each. The tend
ency is to build heavier ships than have
ever been seen, to make them as speedy
as possible and to arm them with the
most powerful guns. The tendency of
most sickly people is 10 experiment with
every remedy they hear of, but they
soon realize their mistake. The better
and safer plan is to get a bottle OF Hos
letters Stomach Bitters and let it re-
store you to robust health quickly.
Thousands have adopted this plan with
such gratifying results that they are
never without a bottle of it in the home
at all times. 1t always cures dyspep-

Rawlins Rejoices-


Rawlins owes a debt of gratitude to
Senator Warren for his good work in
our behalf in Washington. Again he
has secured the passage of a bill giving
Rawlins a public building to be erected
at a cost of s1O0 00OO. He has done his
part. The bill now goes to the house
where its fate is in doubt until 1t has
actually passed and been signed.
A similar bill passed the senate a
year ago through the efforts of Sena-
tor Warren but was KILLED in the
house. Wyoming's delegation in the
house is only one of nearly four hun
bred. Congressman Mondell will do
his mightiest and We hope that he will
have success.
Rawlins' claims for favorable consid-
GRAFTON on this bill are strong and e
act fairness will give us the much COW
eted federal building. However, we
must content with the fact that u del
egation worked hard and long for us.
If it fails we will be of course disap-
pointed, but will not forget to give
nearly expression of our appreciation
to the wyoming delegation for their
efforts to secure a fine public building
in this city.-Rawlins Republican.

FAMOUS AS AN ORATOR

Congressman Mondell is growing as
an orator and his fame is extending
among the people of the far east. Mon
day night he was signally honored by
being selected as one of the chief
speakers at the Lincoln day banquet
of the Middlesex club of Boston, Mass,
an exclusive, conservative and innuen,
tial organization. His address was a
very able II and he did not lose the
opportunity of presenting Wyoming''
side of the tariff question.
A few of the salient points made by
Wyoming'h congressman are giyeI
herewith:
"Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen
| am very glad, indeed, 10 be here to

or and privilege of being a guest of

A Baker Wanted

There is an industry that could be
started in this town at the present time
with very fair chances for success, and
that is a bakery. One well known cor
poration here would engage to take $50
loaves of bread a day, to say nothing of
pies and cake. that a trade might and
could be worked up in. Should such a
thing come to pass as deciding upon
Kemmerer for a registration point, the
demand would be unlimited. We do
not mean that such a business here
would amass a fortune suddenly, but
we do say that a good baker, with the
addition of ice cream and lunch parlors
to his establishment, would build up a
good business for himself. Who will
try it?-Kemmerer Camera.
