DECISION.

In 1901 Senator Charles A. Guernsey
of Laramie county filed an application
under section 2306, u. S. r. S, known
as the soldiers and sailors additional
act, to file upon a piece of land in the
Cheyenne land district. Subsequently
this scrip filing was approved by the
general land office and the local off
GERS were directed to allow the same
For some eason the final payment was
not made till after the passage of the
reclamation act and the withdrawal of
the land included in the Guernsey fl
ing for the purposes of that act. 1t
was held by the general land office at
the time of payment that the land was
not segregated in such a sense as
would operate against the United
States, although it would operate as
against an individual, hence the filing
was rejected. From this rejection an
appeal was taken to the secretary of
the interior, who now decides that the
action of the general land office was
in accordance with the law.

The Future of the Airship.

An airship inventor, who recently
sailed the first airship over New York
successfully, confesses frankly the
shortcomings of his invention and &C
knowledges that it could never be
adapted for carrying passengers mol
for express service. The only CONNER
| cial value of an airship is for exhibition
purposes, and the day of practical NY
ing-machines is still far distant. Ii

poor, tired stomach of yours why don't

1t has been used successfully for over
so years in cases of %belching, bloating,
heartburn, fatulency, costiveness, dys-
pepsia, Indigestion, female ills, bilious

affecting a cure when other remedies
have failed. Give it a chance to prove
its merit and you'll be thankful for

The opening of the Interstate canal
in the northern portion of Laramie
county was not heralded with a blare
of trumpets, but the big ditch is des'
tined to carry water to hundreds OF
farms and to bring prosperity to hun.
dreds of homes just the same. The
lands under this ana are said TO be
just as fertile as any in the Poudre
valley. They are certainly as low and
the crops that have been raised thereon
indicate richness. These lands have
nearly all been entered under the
Carey act and will have cost the own
ers at the time of patent approximately
thirty dollars per acre. The same ca
nal also carries water to many thou
sands of acres of land in western Ne
braska, and that portion of the Platte
valley IN our neighboring state is rap
idly settling up. Westward the star

The Wool "Squeeze''-

The latest thing out in trust circles
is the Wyoming wool combine, an in
side pool said to have been established
sion houses to depress the prices of
wool in this state. Reports from Raw
Inns indicate that there is some grounds
for believing that such a combination
exists, owing to the fact that it is al
most impossible for hockmasters to OBJ,
, tain offers for the purchase of their
clip. If it appears that the buyers are
attempting to squeeze" the Wyoming
sheepmen and thereby knock the bot
tom out of the local wool market it is
likely that the Wyoming growers Will
take a hand in The game themselves.
There is a shortage in the wool sup
ply in the east. Prices are high and
the stock on hand is limited. There is
every reason why Wyoming wool
should bring the good figures asked by
the sheepmen. However, the commits
sion houses think they see an oppor.
tunity to make a neat sum out of the
wool growers. Hence they are hold
ing OFF, in the hopes of forcing the
hockmasters to come to their prices.
1t is a clever scheme and would work
If the Wyoming men did not thorough
ly understand the situation in the east.
AS 1t Is, there is no danger of a STAN
pede on the part of the men out here
and, sooner or later, the buyers will
have to come up to the prices demand

POOR NOT BECOMING POORER

A favorite assertion of socialists and
d~emagogues is hat the rich are becom.
ing richer and the poor poorer; and by
this appeal they cause some people to
follow them who possess themselves
every evidence of the untruth of the
statement.
No mar Of ordinary intelligence who
gives the subject serious thought can
believe for a m that any class of
the population of this country is poorer
than it was a generation ago. Were the
charge true, it would be practicable to
n a class of people enjoying less Of
the comforts and advantages of civil
cation than people of the same class
enjoyed twenty-five or thirty years ago.

Quite recently a number of state pa
pers have suggested the possible can
didacy of Senator Keister for the dem

the senator in an interview yesterday
stated that under no circumstances
would he accept the nomination, says

OPPOSE CONTRACTION.
Real Money League VIII Circulate
Petitions Against Bankers Plan.

The Real Money league which is or
ganized to fight the contra ctive''
phase of the elastic currency pro-
gramme outlined for congress bv
bankers had a meeting at the office of
Dr. w T. Taylor Sunday afternoon.
The league organized in Topeka but

leagues which it is expected will be
started all over the United States.

Albert Griffin of Topeka is president
OF the league, George E. .Overmyer is
vice president. Orla L. Alley, secretary
and J. r. McKeeyer, treasurer.
The memorial contains the follow
ing plea:
Elastic currency is a bankers
term, and means one that they can
expand and contract at their pleasure
and thus cause it to 'huctuate' to
their profit, and to- the loss of other
classes, especially producers and wage
earners.
Yet. in spite of these recognized
principles the late Bankers National

It Washburn, because it shows that
Washburn is now fully in the class of
the biggest teams of the west
1t was an unusual sound when on
the Washburn football field Saturday,
the Washburn rooters gave the Kansas
yell repeatedly when the news from
Nebraska was announced.
Washburn had its share in making
the game success for Kansas. Last
week DR.. Outland the head coach Of
the Washburn team went down to
Lawrence and helped his old friend
Kennedy with the coaching Outland
and Kennedy were former stars on the
Kansas team and later starred together
on the Pennsylvania team. Outland
went especially to coach the Kansas
line in charging, and greatly strength
ened the Jayhawkers on the defensive
play Coach Weede was given an in
vitation to coach the ends but declined
reluctantly on accoLnt of having to get
his men in shape for the st. Mary s
game of last Saturday.
Coach Outland coached the Kansas
team in 1901 and in 1903 Kennedy
coached the Washburn team. Both
men are among the best coaches in the
west and although great rivalry has at
times existed between the two teams
both men have always remained great
friends.

when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med

purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins. backache, frequent.
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should

saving her life.
