This was the cheerful statement made
bya business man who always takes his
holidays in the shooting season. and
this year spent his fortnight on the
Desert river. above Mont Cert, says the
New York Sun.
From all accounts this has been Q
record season for deer everywhere. In
many cases parties have returned from
the woods much earlier than they had
intended. because they had made their
bags OF game.
There were not many, though, who
had the foresight to pick and take
home the berries for sauce. The Inc

The modern hunter is not superior
to sauces and dressings, but he is gen.
orally In too much of a hurry to look
after them. Still, there are those who
realize that there is much more to
be got out Of the fall trip to the
woods than slain deer and hardened
muscles.
+ To such observant hunters the fact
that In the moose country there are
thousands Of acres OF choicest cram
berries going to waste every year af-
fords food for thought. Cranberries

Lines On a Skeleton

Behold this ruin! Twas a skull
Once of thereal spirit full.
This narrow cell was life Is retreat,
This space was Thoughts mysterious seat,
What beautious visions filed this spot,
What dreams of pleasure long forgot,
Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear,
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this moldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye,
But start not at the dismal void
If social lows that eye employed,
If with no lawless FIRE it cleaned,
But through the LEWIS of kindness beamed.
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue
If ialSchocd i honey it disdained.
And when it could not praise was chained;
If bod in Virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When Time unveils Eternityi
Say, did these fingers delve the mines
Or with the envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock or wear a gem
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of Truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on Wealth and Fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
These feet the paths of duty trodf
If from the bowers of Ease they fed,
To seek Affection 3 humble shed;
II Grandeur's guilty bride they spurned,
And home to Virtue cot returned
These feet with angel wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky!

The east was also urging that the
west was getting too much of a hold
in the senate and that its power there
ought to be curbed. In speaking to this
particular division of the subject, and
in the course of an eloquent tribute to
the west, MI. Mondell said:
In the day that is sure to come when
the magnificent commonwealth / have
the honor to represent on this floor
shall have fully developed her 10000
square miles of coal lands and shall
have an output of hundreds of millions
of tons of fuel per year, when the Nigh
lty steam shoyels shall ceaselessly feed
her inexhaustible mountains of iron
ore into the %devouring maws of count
less furnace and mills, when her linn
itless fields of oil and gas shall light
the midnight heavens with the glory
of her n~umberless factory fires, when
her fertile valleys and uplands shall all
bear golden and abundant harvests,
and her splendid citizenship shall have
multiplied a hundrefold, possibly some
representative of that mighty common
wealth may stand on this floor and carp
and cavil because the fathers ordained
that n state, without regard to its in
fancy or its decadence, should have
equal representation on the floor of the
UNITED States senate. | hope that will
never occur. | trust that in that com
ing day no representative of the glor-
ious golden west, of the heroic, chiv-
alric west, will ever be so ungenerous
as to twit gentlemen from other states
upon the fact that his magnificent com,
monwealth has so outstripped them in
the race Of development, progress, and
prosperity"

A SPLENDID WATER SYSTEM.

After many years 1t now seems en-
tirely probable that 1906 is to bring
Laramie a new water system, one that
the citizens will point to with pardon
able pride. The council has taken ac-
ton upon the matter of the issuance
of bonds and ii now only remains for
the citizens to place their stamp of ap-
proval upon the issue. With a new
castiron main from the city springs
and adequate laterals through all the
streets, water-users will have n nor
NAL pressure of upwards of forty
pounds and will be enabled to do some
thing. Under present conditions it
takes two or three hours to inadequate
ly water a lawn; under the new condi-
lions a lawn should be watered In less
than an hour. If the time of our peo-
pie is worth anything, this saving alone
ought 10 pay for the system in the al
lotted time.
Some objection a already been rails
ed by carping critics against the man
ner in which the council is proceeding,
These critics urge that 1t Is the purpose
of the council to do its own engineer
ing. II The Republican is rightly in
formed, 1t is the purpose Of the coun
ell to submit he entire matter to
thoroughly competent hydraulic engi
neer and to thus avoid any possibility
of an expensive mistake. The work be
ing performed by Mayor Mckee in Sc
curing the number of taps and in out
lining practically the needs of the city
has been in the nature of preliminary
work and will materially aid any engi
neer who may hereafter take hold OF
the matter.
Some time 6 The Republican sug-
gested short-time bonds of small de-
nominations to be offered as a popular
loan to our own people. Such bonds,
1t has beer discovered, cannot be is
sued to run less thar ten years. The
law provides that they cannot be is
sued for less than ten years nor fol
more than thirty years. 1t is entirely
probable, however, that the money
placed in a sinking fund for the first
ten years, could be invested in good
securities that would yield almost as
much interest as the bonds would
carry.
The main thing is to get a first-class
water system, such as the town needs
and is able to support. Every vote on
the bond proposition should be aye.

Weighty Professional Endorsements.

I Prof. Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., of
Bennett Medical College, Chicago, says
Of Golden Seal root: ut is a most
superior remedy in catarrhal gastritis
inflammation of the stomach), chronic
constipation, general debility, in con-
valescence from protracted %fevers, in
prostrating night-sweats. 1t is an i'm
portdHt remedy IN disorders of the
soomb." This agent, Golden Seal root,
is an important ingredient of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription for WON
ans weaknesses, as well as of the
uGolden Medical Discovery.") DIR. Ell
lingwood continues, tin all catarrhal
conditions it is useful"
Much more, did space permit, could
be quoted from prominent authorities
as to the wonderful curative properties
possessed by Golden Seal root.
We want to assure the reader that
"Golden Medical Discovery" can be
relied upon to do all that is claimed for
Golden Seal root in the cure of all the
various diseases as set forth in the
above brief extracts, for its most
prominent and important ingredient is
Golden Seal root. This agent is, how
ever, strongly reinforced, and its cura-
tive action greatly enhanced by the
audipioh, III Jusb VIZ tlSHp BIoDOlliOl
of Queens root, Stone root, Black
C~herrybark, Bloodroot, Mandrake root
and chemically pure glycerine. All of
these are happily and h~armoniously
blended into a most perfect phar-
maceutical compound, now favorably
known throughout most of the civilized
countries of the world. Bear in mind
that each and every ingredient entering
in the discovery has received the
endorsement of the leading medical
men of our land, who extol each article
named above in the highest terms.
What other medicine put up for sale
through druggists can show any such
professional endorsement? For dys-
pepsia, liver troubles, all chronic catar-
rhal affections of whatever name or
nature, lingering coughs, bronchial,
throat and lung affections, the uDis-
covery" can be relied upon as a sover-
eign remedy.
By reading the little book noted
below any one will readily see the
applicability of the "Golden Medical
Discovery" to the cure OF all the fore
going list of diseases as well as many
other chronic affections, especially
those of the heart, kidneys, bladder.

That the several American medicinal
roots, the concentrated glyceric extracts
of which make up DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, have the strongest
kind OF endorsement by scores of lead
ing medical writers of all the several
schools of practice, a brief glance at
the standard works on Mdtertd Medica
will show. OF Golden Seal root, which
is N of the prominent ingredients of
oGolden Medical Discovery "Dr. Roberts
Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical Col
lege, says: vVery useful as a stom-
achic (stomach) tonic and in atomic
dyspepsia. Cures gastric (stomach)
catarrh and headaches accompanying
same" He also mentions catarrh OF
the gall duct, jaundice and constipa-
ton as diseases which the use of
Golden Seal root overcomes; also
catarrh of the intestines, even when
it has proceeded to liberation, is
remarkably benefited by Hydrastis
Golden Seal root.
DR.. Grover Coe, of New York, saws:
"Hydrastis Golden Seal root exer-
cises an especial influence over mu-
cous surfaces. Upon the liver it
acts with equal certainty and eff
fcacy.> AS a cholagogue Oliver invig-
orator. it has few equals" DR.. Coe
also advises it for affections of the
spleen and other abdominal viscera
generally, and for s%crofulous and gland
ular diseases, cutaneous eruptions, in
digestion, debility, chronic diarrhua,
constipation, also in several affections
peculiar to women, and in all chronic
arrangements of the liver; also for
chronic Inflammation of bladder, for
which DR.. Coe says uit is one of the
most reliable agents of cure"
Prof. Hobart A. Hare, NJ. D., of the
University of Pa, says of Golden Seal
root that it is "of service in chronic
catarrh of the stomach and bowels,
following abuse OF alcohol, and as a
tonic after malarial fever" He further
says, it uhas a distinct anti-malarial
influence" Also vgood in all catarrhal
conditions, as uterine catarrh, leucor-
rhGa, etc, and as "a curative agent in
chronic dyspepsia"
Prof. Laurence johnson, NJ. D., of
the Medical Department, University
City of n. Y, is equally loud in his
praise of Golden Seal root, especially
for its tonic effects in convalescence
from acute diseases and its special
tonic influence upon mucous surfaces
and upon the gail bladder.
Doctors Barton and Tnlly recon-
mended Golden Seal root as a pure
tonic and as an Alternative in dis
eased conditions of the mucous mem
branes.
Prof. John King, NJ. D., late of Gin
%cinnati, author OF the AMERICAN DIS
PENsAToRY, gives it a prominent place
among medicinal agents, reiterates all
the foregoing writers have said about
it, as does also Prof. John NJ. Scudder,
NJ. D., late of Cincinnati. DR.. Scud-
der says: vt stimulates the digestive
processes and increases the assimilation
of food. By these means the blood is
enriched, the -consequen
improvement on the glandular and
nervous systems are natural results
DR.. Scudder further says, vim relation
to its general effect upon the system,

SOME GOOD LOGIC.

In his speech On the statehood bill
points. Eastern members had urged
that in the future If Arizona secured
a large population congress might di-
vide the state and make two of it. This
vas regarded by our congressman as
ridiculous, as it surely was. When a
state is once formed, there is little or
no probability that II will even be di.
Vided. Upon this point Mr.. Mondell
said:
The gentleman from Pennsylvania
(Mr. Dalzel) said yesterday in the
course of his remarks: When these
territories are filed up with a sufic-
lent population to be admitted as indie
pendent states in this union, the con
gress that then exists will deal justly
and fairly. / have no doubt, with the
question Certainly the gentleman did
not mean to hold out the hope that
there could ever be a division of the
proposed state of Arizona II this bill
fhS'AhAhS wi Nv JOliiluAt VI tHe lNo
territories shall become a law. We all
know that the action taken by this
congress, If the bill shall pass, will set
tie the question for all time. That only
through war or revolution will there be
a division of one or a j%ointure of two
American states.
The same gentleman, in the course
of his remarks, complained because
there are fourteen states in the union
that have twenty-eight senators and
only t~wenty-eight representatives: be
cause there are six with twelve sena-
tors and only six Representatives, and
he clearly indicated the motives that
controlled him in his vote by his ap.
peal in behalf of the people east of the
west line of Kansas as against the PEG
pie west of that line, The gentleman
is frank enough to admit that he is en-.
~deavoring TO curtail western represen
tation in the United States senate. II
he had he power to do 1t | assume
from the line of his argument that
neither Arizona nor New Mexico nor
the two territories Joined would be ad-
mitted to the union.
THE gentleman complains of this So
called inequality of representation in
the senate of the United States as
though it We're not a fundamental fea-
ture of our political system, establish
ed n provided for by the fathers, and
continued in all the legislation touch
ing the admission of states since the
foundation of the government.

To EXTEND TIME.
Favorable Report Expected on the Hey
burn Transit Bill.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on agriculture will report
.favorably on Senator Heyburn's bill ex-
tending the time in which live stock
can be legally carried on railroads with.
out unloading. The bill as amended
by the committee will provide that live
stock can be kept on the train twenty
eight hours, except in cases where the
shipper asks for extension of time, in
which event stock may be kept on
trains for thirty-six hours. The bill
provides a minimum speed of sixteen
miles an hour for cattle trains.
