PASTORS CONDITION
SLOWLY IMPROVING,

The condition of F. w. Bross, pastor
of the Methodist church here, is i'm
proving steadily, but slowly, according
to a message from the parsonage this
afternoon, although the paroxysms of
pain are very severe and almost tear
him to pieces. He has spinal menin-
gifts. Mrs. Bross received a message
from her relatives at Omaha today.
saying that her mother, Mrs. Moore of
that city, who suffered a stroke of
paralysis on Sunday, and was believed
to be dying, is better. MIR Bross'
father, who lives at North Adams,
Mich, fell in his barn there a few

as to require the services of a surgeon,
but he, too, is better now.

Orders were received here this
morning that, beginning today, the
shops of the Wyoming division, in
Guiding those at Laramie, North
Platte, Cheyenne. Rawlins, Green Riv-
er and Evanston, would shut down at
noon on Saturday, the order to remain
in effect for the present. The shops
of the division now work nine hours

day, Thursday and Friday, and five
hours on Saturday, making fifty hours
a week. Just how long the order
would remain in effect the local of
fcials could not say. The men in the
shops here hail the change, as the
baseball and fishing eason are coming
and there will be "doings" on almost
every Saturday.

HORTICULTURAL LAW
GENERALLY APPROVED.

The state horticultural law is now
quite generally approved. Some lit
tie Inconvenience was occasioned at
first, both to purchasers and to the nur,
series. in the process of adjustment to
the new conditions, since, in spite of
the extent to which it was published,
some nurseries and some patrons over
looked its existence. Now that it is
seen that the law is looking to the ad,
vantage of both buyer and seller, it is
growing in favor every day. Even those
nurseries that at first objected to the
license fee and the bond are now en-,
thusiastic supporters.

Denver, Colo, May 5.-An extensive
fire this morning, on lower Fifteenth
street, destroyed the big buildings of
the Denver Transit and Warehouse
company, with all their contents, caus-
ing a loss hat will be at least s100, 900,
and may be double that.
Newspapers Lose Stock.
The newspapers of the city lost
large amounts of paper stored, and
the loss of pianos, household goods
and trunks left with the company for
storage cannot easily be estimated.
The total insurance, however, is said
to foot up a total of nearly $3.50 900.
Whisky Saved All Right.
BY the greatest possible efforts of
the firemen 100000 worth of fine
whisky hat was in bond was saved
from destruction. This was about the
only article of value that was saved.
The loss, it is thought, will reach
$3.50 900.

WYOMING NOW HAS
MANY FRUIT TREES.

Reports from the licensed nurseries
indicate unusual activity in orchard,
garden and ornamental planting. Those
who are in the habit of think of Wyo-
ming as unsuited to fruit growing
would be astounded could they see he
thousands of standard fruit trees and
small fruits that are coming into the
state. Shade trees and ornamentals
are being planted everywhere and will
soon remove the charge that Wyoming
homes are barren and misunderstanding.
Most of the wyoming buyers are dis
playing good judgment in beginning
with standard and well tried varieties
A few r evidently experimenting
since they are purchasing fruits and
ornamentals adapted only to warmer
and longer seasons than ours.

PROPOSITION TO HAVE 1T LOCAT-
ED AT LARAMIE BEING DIS
CUSSED BY CITIZENS
OF THE CITY.
That 1t is An Ideal Site,
Combining More Good Features
Than Any other in State, and That
State Would Fare Well Should the
Government Assume Control of
State Hatchery in This Vicinity.

A movement has been started here to
ask the United States government to
locate its Wyoming fish hatchery sta
ton in this city, using the state fish
hatchery. Congress has appropriated
by legislation $4,000 for the purchase
of a site and the erection of the neces.
sary buildings, the site to be determin.
ed later. One of the requisites for the
government hatchery is that it must be
located within two miles of a line of
railroad, to facilitate the shipment of
eggs and young fish. 1t is presumed
that, once the hatchery is establish
ed, the government will provide for its
maintenance and for the propagation
of fish.
Three Hatcheries Provided For.
Three such federal hatcheries were
provided for in the bill, one in Wyo-
ming, one in Utah and the third in Col
orado. 1t is believed the Colorado
hatchery has been located.
AS at present outlined, the plan is to
turn the state hatchery here over to
the government, by purchase or do
nation, as is deemed wisest, the state
to retain the branch hatcheries as Sar-
atoga, Lander, and other points.
Speaking of the matter this morn
ing, a former attache of the hatchery
here declared the Laramie site an
ideal one, the best he knew OF in the
state, and he has seen them all. There
is an abundance of clear spring water,
which retains its temperature the year
round, is always clear and pure and is
never full of mud or other impurities,
and is so near the railroad hat the
government could find nothing against
it on that score. If necessary, a branch
road could be built to the hatchery at
small cost and with slight work. The
buildings are ample for the present
needs, perhaps, but there is room to
expand, and if the government cared,
it could make one of the finest fish
stations in the world right here.
State Would Be Better Off.
Speaking of the states interests in
the matter, l should say hal the state
would be better cared for by the gov
eminent than under the present ad-
mirable arrangements. We would re-
ceive, | doubt not, a dozen young fish
to one we raise ourselves, and it
would be less expensive to the state
than under the present order of things.
l have heard but one other place men
toned, Saratoga, and this site is so
far ahead of that l should think there
would be little trouble in convincing a
government official of the ~desirability
of the Laramie site. However, we
should do all We can to induce the fish
commissioner to at least visit Laramie
and look the matter over-that is, if
the state desires to sell or donate its
plant to the government

GOOD PIECE SPOILED
BY HOODLUMISM.

The presentation of "A Deserted
Bride" at the Opera House last night,
a meritorius production, was all but
spoiled by the frantic actions of a lot
of hoodlums, who should have been
put out of the house. The manager
would go to one fellow and ask him to
behave himself, and would then be
met with a storm of whistling and cat
calling ridiculous and annoying. Mrs.
Root should appeal to the police to
suppress disorder of this kind and
the police should arrest every offender.
Men and women pay money to see a
play and dislike to have their enjoy
ment interfered with by hoodlums. All
the hoodlums, The Republican is
ashamed to say, were not small boys
nor half-grown boys.
