A HALT is CALLED.

There can be no question as to the
presidents attitude toward the combi-
nations in restraint of trade. He Is
thoroughly determined to stop all
boosting of prices by agreement be-
tween the sellers. In other words The
Sherman antitrust law is to be made
effective.
At the present time Attorney Gen
eral Moody is proceeding or arranging
to proceed against no less than ten of
the big m%onopolies of the nation, and
there will be no child's play about the
matter. 1t is not believed there will
be many o decisions like the Hum
phrey decision at Chicago and 1t is con-
fidently expected by the administration
that the Judiciary will stand squarely
in line for the enforcement of the law,
OF course, the president does not ex-
pect n judge to decide contrary to the
law and the evidence, but does expect
a verdict on behalf of the government
when warranted, nj matter upon whom
the burden and the stigma may fall,
OF one thing the president feels just
ly proud, and that is the fact that the
American editors are almost a unit In
his support, With a few exceptions
they are unfolding his hands and max
ing 1t easier for him 20 enforce the
law. without public opinion and the
power of the press he would be unable
to succeed in his undertakings, but the
people are with him and the press will
give him every aid within its power.

WYOMING

The Republican does not know the
name of the gentleman or lady who
writes the geography notes for the
Cheyenne Leader, but it does know
they are among the most clever produc-
tons ever published in this state. For
instance, it is barely possible this one
upon Laramie may not be entirely rel
ished by the people of the Gem City,
but nevertheless 1t does credit to the
author:
Laramie; Largest town in Albany
county; located half way between
Cheyenne and Medicine Bow, and indi
Gated on all Union Pacific maps; ahid.
ing place of mine promoters, univer.
sity students, mosquitoes and misery;
occupies one corne of a site 400 times
too big for Chicago and not far from
the roof of the world; Big Laramie

fish stories. flows through this town;
state hatchery for the encouragement
of prevarication five miles distant;
celebrated as the home of the Boom
erang, which was thrown over by Bill
Nye many years ago and has been
coming back ever since; state peni-
tertiary once located here, but moved
in order that the inmates might not be
subjected to immoral influences; seat
of the University of Wyoming and Hol-
liday's big store; chief products, re-
form waves, wind INT state auditors;
often called the Gem City because of
the similarity of a Laramieite to an
emerald-both green; tourists desiring
to review the muck rake battalion
while their train hesitates here should
mention the water system"
And then, passing on to Rawlins,
could anything be better than this:
"Rawlins: CAPITAL and pride of Car
bon county; located in a desert so
dreary that the town seems beautiful
In comparison, and that's going some;
Union Pacific trains aud Lander stages

NO PERSON
Would Make Such a Proposition to the
People of Laramie, Unless They
Were Absolutely Sure.

Did you ever Know or hear of a per-
cent you paid him If he could not
build up health and create strength
and vitality for old people, weak, sick
ly women and children and the conval-
escent, create an appetite, cure stom-
ach troubles, make those who are too
thin, fat, rosy and healthy? Or cure
hacking coughs, chronic colds, throat
and bronchial troubles?
This is exactly the offer that Mills,
A Druggist, graduate Of Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy, makes to every
person in Laramie.
Mills, A Druggist, says, Our offer is
based upon what we believe to be the
greatest strength-creator and health
~restorer known to medicine, Vinol,
which is the up-to-date form of admin
istering cod liver oil, recognized for
centuries as the grandest of all body
building agents for wasted human
strength and vitality.
In Vinol We have simply done away
with the useless system-clogging oil,
and given the people all the medicinal
curative elements of cod liver oil act
ually taken from fresh Gods livers, and
We have neve sold in our store a med
icine of more intrinsic value.
"As a body builder and strength-cre-
ator for old people, weak women, puny
children, after sickness and for all
diseases, its fame has
spread so far hal it is now guaran-
teed by over two thousand of the lead
ing druggist of the country. and es-
pecially by us" Red Cross Pharmacy.

GIGANTIC RAILROAD SCOOP
Hartman People Take Over Great Cen
tral Mississippi. Valley System OF
the Illnois Central.

News of the most important sue
cessful transfer Of railroad control
since the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads jointly took over the
Burlington system, about FIVE years
ago, became known in New York SaS-
urday. It was learned that a deal
which will bring the Union Pacific
and Illinois Central railroads together
under one management has been pos
itiYely fixed.
First knowledge of the big transac-
ton was gained from the statement
Of a prominent fnancier who said that
with it's profits of more than $100,
100000 growing out Of it's investment
in Northern Pacific and Great North
ern shares, the Union Pacific compa-
ny has purchased 81 per cent Of the
capital stock of the Illinois Central.
The accumulation of the latter haa
been gradual, he said, extending over
O. period of two years. AS the Union
Pacific had needed money to take over
purchases of Illinois Central, it had
sold Northern Securities or Northern
Pacific and Great Northern stock ia
the open market.
The same authority stated that the
Union Pacific some time ago took over
all the Illinois Central stock owned
by the Railroad Securities company,
a New Jersey corporation, organized
by Hartman interests for the purpoSo
Of owning and holding Illinois Central
shares. There is no record OF the
amount of these holdings, but they
are known to be very large.
The New York Herald of Monday
printed the following:
''It was learned in this city that
there are many indications that the
Illinois Central railroad has been ac-
ouired by interests identified with the
Hartman party. 1t has been known
for some time that the Illinois Central
holdings in the hands Of this party
have been figured as high as 100000
shares Of a par value of $16,000,0OO.
According to statements made by per-
sons who are in a position to inspect
the transfer books of the Illinois Cen
trail, there is evidence there that goes
far toward confirming the story of the
merger"

SOUTH CHEATED OF len MILLIONS.
mat Amount Lost by Cotton Growers as
Result OF axe Report.

keSuIt o. GIG NepoSt'
President ]. A. Taylor of the Ma
tional Ginners' Association, in signed
statement, given out at Washington
Saturday, asserted he had found out
that intentionally, l believe, the jan
uary Is report of the census bureau
included from one to seven days more
ginning than should have been includ-
ed, and this report will cost the south
$1O,O0O,000.
'"rhe discrepancy" he added, was
caused by the way the instructions
were given to the government agents,
asking them to get from the ginners
the amount of cotton ginned to date,
and the amount expected TO be gin
ned.
THE ginners believed that the cot
ton already ginned and yet to be gin
ned were to be added for a total
report, and in many instances gave
the agents the number of bales gin
ned to, say, on the 18th or 23rd Of
the month. There was also a loss of
S7,O00,000 in our trade balance with
foreign countries as a result of the
report"
He. quoted Mr. North as saying a
leak from his office had never been
discovered, and said he thought Mr..
North was mistaken.
