Senator Dawes as a sotanlst.

John A. Harris used to relate the
following incident. which happened
in his home town of Plainfield. Mass:
In 1886 the late Senator Henry l..
Dawes, while driving near the town
of Plainfield, not far from Cumming
ton, his native town, lost his way and
secured the services of William Reid,
a simple-minded youth, to direct him
the right way.
Mr.. Dawes took the boy in his car
riage, and as they were passing an
extensive pasture, the senator re-
marked that was "a fine lot of spear
grass"
That's Herds grass" remarked the
boy.
Vainly the senator tried to explain
that the boy was wrong, and finally
made a bet of $40 to a cen hat he
(Mr. Dawes was right, and referred
the matter to Andrew E. Wells, an
old farmer who knew Mr.. Dawes by
sight.
Guess you have lost, senator" said
the referee, who decided the bet in the
boys favor; why, that is Herds
grass, for it belongs to Tom Herd"
So Mr.. Dawes admitted hat the joke
was on him.

deposit or the officials making the de-
posits, or possibly is divided between
them, shall inure to the benefit OF the
taxpayers, to whom it belongs after 1t
is paid into the various treasures just
as much us it did while it was in their
individual pockets. That the people
have permitted the unjust practice to
prevail so long is a matter of surprise,
and can only be attributed to a lack of
understanding concerning the practice
in vogue. The banks pay interest on
time deposits made by individuals, and
just why public funds should be de-
posted without returning interest to
the public is not clear. In order to
bring this matter more prominently
before the people, that Is may be dis
cussed publicly and become fully I'M
d%erstood, it has been proposed that
the neX republican state convention
adopt as a part of its platform n
one of the issues upon which it will
ask the SURFACES of the people at the
next general election, a plank pledging
republican Legislators to the passage
of such a law, and the Post is en-
phatically in favor of the proposition.
The taxpayers should take this matter
up at once and by beginning at the
right place at the right time 1t can
be accomplished. See that men who
are sent to the state convention to rep
resent you are in full accord with your
ideas on the subject. II you would
like to save the salaries of public Of
ficials, insist upon the adoption of the
plank in the convention platform and
the election Of legislators who will car
ry out the recommendation of the con
vention. The beginning should be
made now. Only a few weeks remain
before the date set for the convention,
and in the meantime the primaries and
county conventions must be held. At
the primaries is where the work should
be begun. Send men to the county con.
vention who are in favor Of saving
their own money, and they will send
delegates to the state convention who
are Of the same opinion. If the people
fail to act promptly now the matter
will have to go over for another two
wears"

BOY U DEAD,
Another Victim Of Murderous Assault
on Continental Divide.

Rawlins, Wyo., July 17.-one more
victim of the continental divide MUIR
der was discovered by searching par.
ties Sunday. A boy of 16 was found
dead some distance from where the
old man had been killed. Evidently
the lad had gone in search of the
horses and was killed on his return
to camp. The parties are unknown to
officers and citizens, but we're seen
travelling together from Rock Springs
to Creston, where the murder was COM
mitted. One team is missing. No
doubt they have strayed off, as the
buggy was found near Fillmore. All
the clothing and letters were destroy
ed by the assassin. Railway men along
the route had seen the parties travel
ing eastward before the crime was
committed.

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Public Building for Rock Springs
The announcement that Senator
Warren has taken steps to secure for
Rock Springs a 100000 government
building, will be welcome news to ev-
cry resident Of the city. The advan-
tages derived from a building of this
description are SO evident that there
can be no doubt of the great benefit
to the town from its location here.
Rock Springs has a greater volume
of business than any city in the state
and stands third in population. Not
withstanding these facts its claim for
a government building have heretofore
been overlooked, while other smaller
and less important towns have receiv-
ed the coveted appropriations. Now,
owing to the energy and influence of
Senator Warren it seem probable that
such a building will be located at Rock
Springs, and it is hoped hat the ap-
preparation will be made at the next
session of congress.
bullhS INC past oCSSlOh otudlOl val
rem has been continuously working for
appropriations Tor buildings for Raw
Inns and Sheridan, which have been
granted. He proposes now to devote
his energies to securing appropriations
for Rock Springs and Lander.
The press of the whole country is
commenting on the efficiency of the
Wyoming delegation in congress. The
papers of Colorado, Utah and Montana
are comparing the work of Senator
Warren with that of their own sena-
tors in terms that are anything but
complimentary to the latter. 1t would
seem that Wyoming has the only real
wide-awake senator in the inter-moun-
tain country. The people of Rock
Springs irrespective of party will en-
dorse this opinion, and tender him
their thanks for his efforts in their be
half.-Rock Springs Miner.

Rulino Prices for Diamonds.

Diamonds, according to a Chestnut
street dealer, will never be as cheap
as they have been nor cheaper than
they are to-day, when the prices are
about 40 per cent in advance of those
of five years ago. The u of the
rise is increased demand. The pres
ent limit made by the trust to the an
nual output is FAC, OOO, 900, and it has
been maintained at that for several
years. AS the demand increases the
trust simply raises the price, but keeps
the output stationary. Curiously
enough, old diamonds remaining in
dealers hands-that is. diamonds pur-
chased by them before the prices were
raised-are generally held for sale at
the old prices, and it is not a unusual
thing TO see two stones which are
alike in size, color and quality held at
different prices by the same dealer

NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT.

In an interview with the Cheyenne
Tribune, State Examiner Harry B.
Henderson speaks very encouragingly
of the prospects of the northern and
central portions of the state, as fol,
lows:
The growth of Casper has been re
markable. While | was there a build,
ing association was formed which will
Immediately capitalize and construct
at least twenty new dwellings which
are badly needed, and others will be
built later, Casper has a live Com
mercial club, and the plans were dis
cussed at n meeting of this club. The
superintendent of the railroad stated
that fifty families would move to Cas-
per as soon as there were homes for
them.
"~Shoshoni is at present very largely
a canvas town, but viii be able to &C
commodate 1900 strangers a day,
which is more than will go there in
a day, on account of the long time al
lowed to register.
Many of the h~omeseekers are GO
ing on to Lander for a better look at
the country before locating, as the
natural appearance of the country
about Shoshoni is not particularly in
viting, while Lander is in the midst of
a well cultivated country.
"Thermopolis is full of people who
have been attracted there more by the
springs than the reservation opening
The springs are becoming more widely
known every year and Thermopolis is
enjoying a steady growth.
Il look for a big development in the
Copper mountain country. The forma-
ton there is remarkable, and while the
ore is largely low grade, l believe there
is a great deal of it, and it can be
worked with great profit. 1t is certain
to be a very busy district in a very
short time.
The Northwestern has a very good
line to Shoshoni and is carrying much
traffic west that used to stop at Casper
and be hauled by wagons from there,
but Casper appears to have lost moth
ing by the change"

VISITING AT DENVER

J. A. Delfelder, the man who walked
into Rawlins, Wyo,, thirteen years ago
because he did not have the cash to
pay his railroad fare and who is now
worth about $3.50. 900 in sheep and land,
is a guest at the Albany hotel, says
the Denver Post. He is Haunting the
colors of the Grey Bull club of Nee
~teetse, Wyo, the members of which
have been on a hunt for wives for the
past year. The Rawlins member was
in Denver last fall, but could not sue
coed in landing a likely Denver maiden
he was negotiating with to lead to the
altar.
81 thought / would come to Denver
and see how the Denver girls looked
on parade before the Elks,' said Mr..
Delfelder. The Grey Bull club is in
existence and the members are trying
to annex better halves the best they
know how.
1T seems to be that either the maid
ems are very shy or else they do not
like the idea of marrying men worth
from $25O,OOO 10 100000 or $4,000
900. We are out in the wilds, but we
are t~olerably comfortable N would
make our homes more SO if some kind,
gentle maidens would come along and
tell us how to do it.

BODY 10 FOUND.
Thirty Men Saw Young Wagner Sink
Without Being Able to Help Him.

Cody, Wyo., July 1.-THE body of
William Wagner, who was drowned
Corbett a few days ago, has not
yet been found. 1t is learned that
thirty men saw Wagner go down in
the stream when his boat capsized and
were unable to render him any assist
ance. Wagner's father is almost in
sane over the failure to find his sons
body.
The body of John HURLEY, one of
the five men who was drowned in the
Shoshone river at Wapita while en-
gagged in a tie drive, has been recov-
cred just above Cody, thirty-five miles
below the scene of the tragedy. This
makes three bodies which have been
found, the other two still being in the
river.

Military Post at Cheyenne One OF
Four Brigade Forts.

Washington, d. c., July 17.-Secre-
tary Taft said hat as a result of his
visit to Sycamore Hill, four brigade
posts will be established this year.
Although it is decided that seven such
posts should be established, the ap-
preparation this year is not sufficient
for the other three. The four decided
on are at Forts Riley, Kas., Leaven-
worth, Kas., D. A. Russell, Wyo., and
Sam Houston. Tex. Between 5000 900
and 100000 will be expended at each
post this year out of the current ap-
preparation. These posts will be put
in command of brigadier generals.

STATE DEPOSITORY LAW.

The republican press of the entire
state has expressed itself almost unan-
imously in favor of a state depository
law. The latest paper to make frank
expression upon this important matter
is the Sheridan Post, in the following
editorial comment:
The Post is unqualihedly in favor
Of the passage by the next Wyoming
legislature of a state depository law,
a law which shall provide that all pub

Editor Henry Watterson of the
Louisville Courier Journal has n nigh,
ty oblique political vision. He has just
discovered that President Roosevelt is
doing everything in his power to force
the republican party to renominate
him, while at the anne time saying he
is not a candidate. He assumes to be.
lieve that all the presidents fight
against corruption in high places is
merely a grand-stand play for the pur-
pose of putting the nomination beyond
the reach of the average leader of the
republican party and making it neces-
sary to choose a pronounced fighter
against organizations of capital; in
other words, a Roosevelt. Watterson
has been wrong so much and so per-
s~istently that few American people will
give this latest stunt more than pass
ing notice. The American people
know that Roosevelt is honest, that
when he said he would not be a can.
didate for n third term he meant Just
exactly what he said. Many are sorry,
but they accept what he says as the
truth.

Doctor Was Fooled by HIS own
Case for a Time.
It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doctors
themselves sometimes forget the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expert
ence:
II had used coffee for years and real
~ did not exactly believe it was injur-
ing me, although | had palpitation of
the heart every day.
Finally one day severe and almost
fatal attack of heart trouble frightened
me and gave up both tea and coffee,
using Postum instead. and since that
time l have had absolutely no heart
palpitation except on one or two occa-
sions when l tried a small quantity Of
coffee which caused severe irritation
and proved to me | must let it alone.
when we began using Postum 1t
seemed weak-that was because we did
not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit of butter
In the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full 10 minutes, which
gives it the proper rich fiavor and the
deep brown color
II have advised great many OF my
friends and patients to leave off coffee
and drink Postum; in fact, daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee In
their own homes and prescribe 1t to pa
tients. There's a reason"
