HERO IN DISGUISE.
By DUNCAN N. SMITH

This is the tale of the Muggsy.
Wicked.st lad in the state:
Tough as ten cent heefsteak,
Without rederInins trait;
Known as the village terror,
Proud lie was head of the gang;
knowing ones ali predicted
Muggsy was born TO hang
Said he would wake some morning
Strung TO II pole or tree,
Was that the fate of MuggSyf
Was it? Just wait and see.
Strolling along one morning.
Tough as am owl unb lied,
Muggsy behcid street car
Right in its path child,
Innocent little creature
Clad in Il pinatore;
Dirt on its face was plenty
Though there was room for more
Did he rush In and save It,
Scoring reward or fee.
Act like a real stage hero?
Did he? Just wait and see.
Baby that played SO sweetly.
Innocent. young and glad,
Was a policeman's daughter;
Muggsy despised its dad.
Did he for that. YOU wonder.
Stand like Il fellow dead?
No. For he grabbed the street car,
Tossing ii over his head
Killing some forty people
Others are crippled yet,
Car was a wreck but Muegsy
Rescued that child, YOU bet.

building, and orders have be IN re-
ceived to rush the construction as
much as possible. From Guadala
jara the next step will be to the City
of Mexico, and Hartman will have d
line down the entire length of the
Pacific coast.
Although an exact date has not
been set for the completion of the
road. ii is supposed that three years
will see the new line in operation.
The project is said to be an effort
on the part of Hartman TO get

THE LAST TRIP OF THE SEASON
Steamer Spencer Has Discontinued the
Run from Portland to Portage

Monday evening the steamer Spen-
GER which since September 20 has
been making regular trips to the por-
tage road, brought the last load
down for the season, and will here
after remain at The Dalles dock each
evening instead of Drawing the waters
of the eddy, says the Chronicle.
On her last trip she brought down
2200 sacks Of wheat, which clears the
warehouse at the portage. During
the three months it is estimated that
the Spencer has brought down between
$4,000 and 10000 sacks, besides other
freight. Next year it is likely the
Open River association will have it's
own boat on the run.
Last night 500 barrels Of cement
were taken up to Smith & Jones, the
government contractors, and the por-
tage expects to cary 1000 barrels for
north bank contractors before the first
OF the year.
Superintendent Steelsmith expects
that bushes for the portage will by
the first of the year have been all
handled and the road will be closed
down for the season.

WRITTEN OF
BEFORE HIS DEATH.
MEETEETSE MINER THOUGHT TO
BE DEAD WAS FOUND ALIVE
AFTER MANY HOURS.
Suffered Stroke of Paralysis and Word
Sent to Nearest Settlement for
Coffin and a Preacher-Henry
Weimer Ends Long Life Surround
ed by Much Mystery.

M~eeteetse, Wyo., Aug. 1S.-His grave
ready, his funeral notice and obituary
published in a local newspaper and a
parson engaged to preach the sermon,
all twenty-four hours before his death,
is the experience of Henry Weimer,
buried here this week. Several weeks
ago Weimer was taken with a severe
stroke of paralysis, since which time
he has been under the care of neigh
borly miners, at his home in Kirwin.
Believing him to be dead, the miners
sent a messenger from the camp to
arrange for the last rites, only to re-
turn to the camp and find his patient
still living.
Newspapers Posted on Wall.
Weimer came to the Kirwin mining
district in 1880 and at the time of his
death owned some of the most promis-
ing claims in the camp. As far as
known he has not received a letter
since that time, and has no relatives
in this country. Copies of the Auburn,
Neb., Post, printed in 1880, and posted
on his cabin walls, furnish the only
possible clue to guide the officials in
the search for relatives. AS the claims
left by Weimer are among the val
liable properties of the district, the
relatives, if found, would some day
realize a handsome sum from them.
Little Known of Him.
Weimer would never talk of his past
history to the miners with whom he
came in contact, and absolutely moth
ing is known of his life prior to his
coming here. He lived alone and fire.
quently spent weeks away from the
camp, prospecting in the mountains.
When he was taken sick the kind.
hearted miners of the camp tenderly
nursed him, and generously paid the
heavy expense of summoning a physi-
clan fifty miles during the temporary
absence of the company physician.
The miners paid for a handsome casket
and & squad of them accompanied the
body to Meeteetse for burial.

TRYING A NEW HORSE
FOR CHEMICAL ENGINE.

The fire department this morning
tried a black horse in the chemical
engine team, to take the place of the
''off horse" Jerry" which was killed
yesterday afternoon, by direction of
DR.. A. w. Whitehouse, the veterinary
surgeon. The new horse belongs at
the Windsor barns and behaved very
nicely in the team with the other.
Jerry was afflicted with what DR..
Whitehouse believed was a severe at
tack of enteritis (apopleXy of the bow
els) and was killed to end a most dis
tressing and hopeless scene Mr.. Vel
ton shot the animal. DR.. Whitehouse,
in a note to Chief Gramm of the fire
department, said: Shortly after 5
p. m, August 16, while the horse was
eating his oats, there was a fire call,
and of necessity he had a severe run.
This, in my opinion, was the of
his fatal illness. AS the horses are al
ways noisy at night, I do not think
that any possible blame a attach to
the fremen for not recognizing his
condition earlier.

WYOMING CATTLE TAKING FIRST
RANK AS SELLERS AT SOUTH
OMAHA MARKET.
Clay, Robinson & Co., In a Note to The
Republican, Mentioned Some of
the Excellent Sales Made by That
Firm of Cattle From This Section
Garden spot of World.

Wyoming is getting just recognition
as the garden spot of all creation in a
dozen different directions, but none
more so than in the excellence of the
cattle produced here. w. S. Vance, the
Millbrook company, John Ernest, Ora
Haley, the Hereford company of Rock
dale and a dozen other big firms OF this
particular part of the state have re-
ceived recognition from time to time.
The following note from Clay, Robin
son & Co, of South Omaha, will be of
interest in this connection:
Best Cattle of Season.
ION last Tuesday some of the best
cattle of the season were offered at this
point. d. R. Whitaker, a prominent cat
tleman of Cheyenne, had a car of four
year-old steers here, Hereford and
Shorthorn breeding, that sold at $5.25,
averaging 1875. We also sold one car
of COWS at $3.50, averaging 1,O4S.
Price for the steers is top for the sea
son, outside of some very choice North
park cattle, which sold here early in
the season, when the market was con.
siderably higher than at the pres
ent time. The cows are extremely top.
Topped Feeder Market.
"On the same day we also topped
the feeder market, one car averaging
1,19O pounds, selling at $4.45, belong
ing to John Whitaker of Cheyenne. Al
so sold two cars for the Tolland Cattle
company, G%lenrock, Wyo., at the same
price, averaging 1,046 pounds. 1t is
needless to say that these parties were
extremely well pleased with the con
dition of our market and the prices
obtained by this company"

THE ELECTRIC AGE
IN REPUBLICAN OFFICE.

The electric age has supplanted the
gasoline age in The Republican office.
Electric heaters are today being in.
stalled in the bindery to heat the bind
er's glue and hot water for various
purposes. The two additional motors,
one for each of the linotype machines,
have been shipped, and only a few
days will elapse until the two ma
chimes will be running with their own
motors. The four motors already in
use are giving entire satisfaction. They
run without noise or smell, and move
so steadily that the machinery turns
with hardly a hitch.
