Trial Marriages.

Mrs. Parsons, the wife q Congaess-
man, iwho has recently attracted at
tention by writing in favor Of trial
marriages is barking up the wrong
tree. B Trial marriage would do away
withgmarriage entirely and with it
would as a consequence be the de-
struction Of the home upon which
our nation rests. Mrs Parsons sees
so much unhappiness in marriage she
might with better profit to herself
ard the country direct her attention
to those things which produce I'M
happiness in the matrimonial state.
e. The craze for extravagant living,
dressing beyond their means and a
maudlin desire fornoioriety and fool
ish.display are breaking up hundreds
of homes by dissatisfaction and disa-
greement and not unfrequently by a
violation of the marital vows. If
marriage has gotten to such a condi-
ton in this country that such fool
suggestion Of Mrs. Parsons for trial
before keeps" the fault is largely
with the women themselves.
They should realize that they are
not intended either by divine law or
by the common fitness Of things to be
mere ornaments, but helpmates, and
instead of devoting their time in de-
vising plans to spend what their hus-
bands m lake, they should either help
him to make or at least help him to
save what he makes.
If men would insist upon the Di-
vine law that wives should be subject
to their husbands and woman would
get proper regard Of their duties
as wives, such silly suggestions as
Mrs. Parsons makes would not be
heard of and the divorce court would
have much less to do.-Elizabeth-

LECTURER FROM UNIVERSITY OF
WYOMING NOT BEHIND THOSE
OF THE OTHER STATES.
Cody Enterprise Comments Upon Re-
cent Farmers Institute Held There
and Prof. Morton-Proud of Rec
ord Made BY Vance Cattle.

The second annual farmers institute
was pulled off last week in a very sue
cessful style, says the Cody Enterprise.
While we must admit that the meeting
was not as enthusiastic as some we
have heard of in other states still we
must remember that the number OF
farmers around Cody is small as COM
pared with districts surrounding W
where institutes are held in those
states. The lectures given by Prof.
Buffum and Morton were all very good
and prove c~onclusively that our In
structors are on a par with those OF
other state agricultural institutions.
The farming community of Cody is in
~creasing in population very rapidly n
within Il few more years our institute
should be more literally attended.
However the interest of the entire
town in the institute was very keen
and showed that the work of the state
agricultural district is receiving favor
by every individual.
1t is with pride that we tell of the
great showing made by Wyoming in
the International Live Stock show that
held in Chicago during the first
days Of December. Wyoming though
yet an infant among the states of the
union won even more than her share
in the contest. In the cattle ring wy
oming took first in feeders type, first
in t~wo-year-old and w. S. Vance of
Laramie showed a Hereford steer that
took the special prize offered on that
class of cattle. The special shorthorn
prize was also won by Wyoming as
well as other seconds inc thirds in the
fat cattle classes.

Washington, D. c., Jan. Slight
was thrown on the rumors of discord
between Secretary Taft and Chairman
Shonts of the canal commission by
the publication Of a letter from Sec
rotary Taft to President Roosevelt
embracing the correspondence with
Shonts. Shonts, as president of the
Panama railroad, to meet the obliga-
lions of the road, decided to sell 62S
$1,000 bonds without consulting the
higher authority. Taft told him he
should % have done so. President
Roosevelt caused Shonts to repur.
chase the bonds. Another source of
trouble was the cancellation of Mar
kel's contract for commissary supplies
on the isthmus. At the instigation of
Shonts Markell IA paid owe $4,000
for his time and services in making
the bid. In each case the sole objec-
ton lay in Shontz exceeding his au-
thority. The president has approved
Secretary Taft's actions and col
mendations.

UNIVERSITY CADETS
BECOMING SOLDIERS.

The basketball team from the Uni
versity of wyoming did not return from
Fort Russell with Captain Heavey Sat
urday afternoon, the whole party re,
naming at the fort that they might
get a better insight into the workings
of a garrison of the regular army OF
the United States. After the game of
ball, in which the university boys were
defeated 2S to 10 by the superior play
ing of the Fort Russell team and by
the fact that the floor was like wax
and some of the university boys were
thrown to the floor, the team was en-
..tertained at a merry dance until well
along toward morning. On Saturday
they were taken to Fort Russell and
treated like princes of the royal blood,
given soldier provender, shown every
sight worth seeing and given to under
stand that the Irmy of the United
States would delight in doing them
honor. The boys are SO well pleased
that Captain Heavey expects to be able
to make commissioned officers of all
of them before the school year ends
1t was a treat to the cadets, they being
loud In praise of the soldiers at the
fort and to Captain Heavey-'who's
all right, you bet"

New York, Jan. 8.-Mrs. Butts re-
sumed the stand in the oil hearing

nation of the present Standard Oil

the company's accounting department
at Albany eight years n was then
sent to Cleveland, where he went to
work for the Republic Oil company,

nings, a member of the domestic trade
committee of the Standard. The wit

of the Standard. Tilfo'd told him the
Standard had Just bought out Scho-
field, Schimer & Teagle and reorgan-

CAUGHT IN
THE PULLEY
PLASTER MILL EMPLOYE MEETS
ALMOST INSTANT DEATH SAT.
URoAY WHILE AT WORK.
Lamb Drawn Into Machinery
and His Life Crushed Out, Being
Practically Unconscious From Mo-
ment of Accident-PIaster Com
pany Defrays Expenses of Funeral.

Goven F. Lamb, aged 81 years,
whose family live on Seventh street,
near the corner of Park avenue was
killed at the plaster mill about 8
o'clock Saturday night, the coroner
being notified shortly afterward, and
took charge of the body. A coroner's
jury consisting of H. G.. WEIGH, G. A.
Campbell and R. E. Fitch returned a
verdict that death occurred at the
plaster mill and that 1t was purely ac-'
cidental.
DR.. Hamilton was called, but found
the man dead, death having occurred
within fifteen minutes of the accident.
The physician reported that several
ribs were broken, the hip broken and
the flesh bruised, the head badly
bruised and the contents of the stom-
ach forced upward and downward.
Inconsistencies probably came at the
moment of the accident.
From the evidence adduced at the
coroner's inquest, the accident vas
witnessed by Albert Pullman, a fellow
employe, who was assisting Lamb at
the time. Lamb was in the act of
loosing a broken belt from a shaft
and reached through another belt NOV
ing on pulleys. His hand was
caught by the moving belt and he was
dragged into it and against the pulley.
Pullman says the engine stopped with
Lambs body still fast against the pull
ley. Pullman tried to get him out, but
could not, and asked the engineer to
start the engine again, when the body
of the man was removed, death COM
ing within a few seconds afterward.
The coroner took charge Of the re-
mains, the manager of the plant de-
fraying all the expenses of the burial,
including suitable clothes, a casket
and the undertaker's charges.
Mr.. Lamb came here with his family
some time during the summer to &C
cept a position with the mill. One
daughter lives in Nebraska, and word
has been received from her. She is
expeced here this afternoon, with her
child and with the sister of the de
ceased. Mrs. Lamb has three chill
dren at home, n son and two daugh'
tiers, who are almost Frustrated With
grief at the terrible accident. Mr.
Lamb came here form Nebraska.

on the west, is in the hands OF John
Olson for partition, and will be cut up
into small holdings, consisting of so
acres each and up, and sold for agri-

T REFLECTS CREDIT
UPON WHOLE STATE.

One of the handsomest publications
that eve came to our desk was the
special edition of The Laramie Repub-
lican, which was issued this week, says
the Kawlins Republican. 1t is full Of
information concerning that commun-
ity, the printing is par excellence, and
the cover design is very beautiful. The
Republican managers are certainly en-
terprising which TACT is apparently
very we'll appreciated by its readers.
The special number is not only a good
thing for that particular section of the
state, but reflects credit upon the
whole state as well.
