 Mir Mohr adds: "The above makes the condition of the fund look decidely blue to us; we certainly need money right away"
 The sudden falling off in receipts was experienced by many other summer homes last season. owing to the cool ness of the weather. Our most pros- porous year financially was 1892 when our receipts amounted to $12,25449.
 About two hundred children are taken to Life's Farm every fortnight, The cost of transportation and providing for a child averages S3 for two weeks; so, for every s sent to this fund child from the city gets a fortnights outing in the country, with as much fresh air and wholesome food as he can utilize.

LIFE's FRESH AIR FARM.
Much Good woak Done at Branchvllle
 In this State.

Much Good woak Done at Branchvllle
 In this State.
 A few words about the work. Since it was started, eighteen years ago, the total number of children who have been entertained at Life's Fresh Air Farm is 26,385, On the average, they have con- stunned each season about 17,000 quarts of milk and have slowed away 5000 loaves of bread a year, and loaves of the biggest kind. These figures are given merely to convey some idea as to the appetites of our guests.
 The Fresh Air Farm was first started in 1888, in New Jersey. IA factory had been destroyed by fire, leaving 8 num- ber of abandoned cottages, and these cottages were used for the children. The first year we took care of 2,00O children the second, 1900, and the third 2,417. In 1891, through the kindness of MT. Edwin c. Gilbert, we were enabled to secure the present location at Branchville Conn, at minimum rent al. Later on Mir. Gilbert transferred the entire property to the Life Fresh Air Fund, and it is now a permanent feature.
 The first year that Life's Farm was transferred to Branchville (this being the fourth year of it's existance) 1,01S children were taken care of, From this time on to the present year there has been an average of about s1,250 each season, the largest being in 1892, 2,S72, and the smallest in 1SS9 with LOT.
 The children are collected from vari- ous sources in New York. Many come from the slums; many are waifs Among those who visited us last sum- nler, one group on July and the other on August IA, there were Orphans, 10; father dead, 33; mother dead, 31; par ents in hospital, Is; abandoned, 10; par ent insane, 6; father in prison 5; father deserted by mother, 20; mother deserted by father, 8; taken from mother, g; mother in reformatory, 6; father a drunkard. 70; mother a drunkard, l2.
 To quote MT. Mohr, the superintend- ent:
 "The transportation of the children average about $1,050 a season. We en1- ploy hix caretakers (three men and three women), besides Mrs. Mohr and myself, to look after the children, and six colored women to do the cooking, cleaning and chamber work. A number of years ago we had to close the farm for few days because of a case of measles; other than that although many children are taken to the farm suffering with noncontagious ills, nc child has had to be sent home on this account"

Cheyenne, Aug. 25.-After one Of the
most hotIy contested primary elections
ever held in Laramie county, Cover
nor B. B. Brooks carried Laramie coun-
ty by a decisive majority. The pri-
maries in the country were held in
the afternoon, while those in Cheyenne
were held at 8 o'clock at night.
In the city of Cheyenne Cosgriff car
ried three precincts, with IL delegates.
All the other precincts, with 80 dele
gates, went to Brooks.
In many of the country precincts pri-
maries were not held. OF those thus
far heard from where elections were
held, Brooks has Is and Cosgrif IL.
This insures Brooks Laramie county,

The Laramie county convention will
be held in Cheyenne August 2S. 1t

necessary to a choice, if all precincts
should be represented. Brooks now
has a clear majority owe all and this
lead will doubtless be increased.

Excitement in London.

London, Aug. 25.-The attempt
made by a bomb thrower on the lif1
of Premier Stolypin today at a recep-
ton, which resulted in the killing of
many notables, creates considerable ex-
element here. 1t is feared the pre-
mier will not survive the assassin's eff
forts. His son vas seriously wounded
and the anarchists are determined, If
possible, to slaughter the family.
Succeeded Gormekyn.
S%tolypin succeeded Gormekyn as
premier of Russia two months ago. M
Witte was made premier last October
with the expectation that he would
effect a solution of the difficulties
which tore the empire into a thousand
parts. His administration was a dis
tinct failure, however, and a disap-
pointment to the government, the rev.
olutionists and himself. He resigned
in disgust. Gormekyn was no more

road is completed it will be n of
the greatest railroad engineering feats
in modern times. The engineers in
charge have instructions to keep one
object in view, the ~straightest line with
the least grades. To accomplish this
~forty-fve tunnels will be bored in east
ern California, between Oroyille and
Beckwith pass. Instead of going
around mountains the Western Pacific
is going through them.
The longest of the tunnels is that
at the head of Spring Garden, twelve
miles east of Quincy. This is cut un-
der the ridge dividing the north and
middle forks of the Feather river. 1t
will be over 1000 feet in length when
completed. The next longest tunnel on
the road will be the one under Beck

Was Holding Reception.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-At a re-
ception at the residence OF Premier
Stolypin today an explosion occurred
undoubtedly as the result of a bomb
thrown by re~volutionists. The premier
is probably fatally hurt. Several per-
sons were killed and many wounded by
the explosion. The premier's son was
among the latter. The news created
intense excitment, as first reports stat
ed that the premier vas dead. These
reports could not be corroborated as the
house was Immediately surrounded by
troops and admission was denied to
everyone. In fact the crowd was driv'
en- off the streets. 1t is learned the
premier's body was terribly mangled,
and the belief is general in this city
that he cannot survive his injuries
long. The house was almost wrecked
by the force of the explosion.
No Hope for Recovery.
The attending physicians entertain
no hope for the recovery of the pre-
mier. Three weeks ago Stolypin re-
ceived a letter from the revolutionists
containing a threat of death on &C
count of his assistance in restoring the
reactionary regime. Since then he has
remained in the house most of the
time. Detectives guarded the house
and bodyguards accompanied him ey-
cry time he appeared in public.

DEATH OF POPULAR
UNIVERSITY STU


Word has just been received of the
death, from appendicitis and pneu-
monia, at Big Horn, Sheridan county,
of Anthony Jennings, on the 18th inst.
Mr.. Jennings was a graduate of the
university in the class of 1901, and
since leaving Laramie has been teach
ing in Big Horn. He vas recently
elected to the principalship of the
schools in Manville, the same position
which was held last year by Mr.. It'd
ball OF the class of 1905. Mr.. Jennings
spent a number of years in Laramie,
having first come here to school at the
time st. Matthew'S hall was open for
students. He was extremely popular,
a good athlete and particularly excelled
in golf, going to Cheyenne at the time
that our local players wrested the
| championship from the players over
the hill. He vas a young man of un'
usual promise and his death will be
sorely felt by his many friends. His
father, who is an Episcopal clergyman
in Idaho, was fastening to his side, but
failed to reach Big Horn before the
young man breathed his last.
