FAITHFUL DOG KEPT
SHEEP FROM STRAYlNG.

Joe Vassar was found dead at Car.
mondy's camp at the Twin lake Thurs
day morning this week, says the Ian,

the body he must have been dead sew,

dog had the sheep near the camp and
after making a survey of the surround,

the sheep were allowed to stray from
the flock. The sheriff and coroner
have gone out for the remains and he
will probably be buried this afternoon

EVERYTHING HAPPENS TO Ian
DER.

For years Lander has been urging
the opening of the Wind River ~reserva-
ton, with the idea in view that it
would benefit largely through the reg
istration and drawing and through the
settlement of the country contiguous.
when the opening was finally decided
upon and the date fixed for June 10, 1t
was happy. hen came Governor
Brooks with his recommendation that
the opening be delayed till August Is,
On the ground that the railroad would
not be constructed to Lander by June
15. What a howl went up from Ian
der. Her citizens, jointly and several
ly, cried fraud and every other old
thing that they happened to think of.
The governor said he didn't care. The
only interest he had in the matter was
the benefit of the state in general and
Lander in particular. The congression-
al delegation said 1t would not listen
to a postponement unless the peo-
pie most interested would give their
consent. There the matter rested for
a time-until Lander woke up. 1t
yawned and discovered that the rail
road would not be finished to that point
prior to June 10. Governor Brooks
was right and they were forced to ad-
NIT 1t. They asked'fo r a postponement
and 1t was granted, August 10 being

one of the registration points M was
fixed as the point at which the draw

for the reason that people could regis
ter at Shoshoni, the end of the railroad,
n a " a long and expensive stage
but she simply had to bear the inevi-
table. Then came the unwelcome new
that the Dad would not be completed
by August Is and the order hat the
drawing would take place at Shoshoni,
the United States land office at Lander
being temporarily removed to that

and crashing of teeth within the ON
fines of the little city on the classic
banks of the Popo-Agie. They simply
rended the atmosphere with their cries
to high heaven, but it was no go. Sho-
shoni had scored.
In this life one usually gets what he
is constantly looking for, Lander has
been looking for the worst Of it.

WALTER WELLMAN'S POLAR EN-
petition.

Walter Wellman, the newspaper cor
respondent, is well started on his way
toward the North pole, which he will
attempt to reach this summer in a bal
loon. He has established himself in
what he calls Camp Wellman, within
60 miles of the pole; and, if everything
goes well he will take his flight in
about three weeks from this date.
Once aloat in his balloon, it should
be a question of only a few days at
most to reach the pole, provided he can
direct the fight of his airship upon a
straight course northward; and so
much success has accompanied recent
balloon flights in temperate regions
that Wellman is o without justifca-
ton for the belief that he can so direct
his balloon above the ice and snow
fields of the polar regions tina he will
reach the pole in a short time.
At best, however, it is a hazardous
undertaking, for he will not know what
lies Immediately before him. The pole
may be surrounded for many miles by
an open set, affording no opportunity
to descend except at great risk. What
ever may be the devices for water navi-

STATE PRESS COMMENT.
The Miners View

The Miners View
The movement to make a state depOs-
itory law one of the planks of the re-
publican platform, at the coming state
convention, seems to be gaining ground
in all parts of the state. If it meets
with the same favor from the politi-
clans that it has from the state press,
there is little doubt of its success.
There seems to be no logical argument
against such a and many
good ones in favor of it. In fact it
seems as if in this day of reform move
ments, 1t will be a bold man who will
cast a vote against it, for he is likely
to be branded with the name CRATER.

THREE FACTS
For Sick Women
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing-down pains, nervousness, dig.
illness and sleeplessness.
SEooND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures CT female ills is Lydia
Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, inflam-
nation of the female organs. weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women for
childbirth and the change of life.
TnRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinkham Laboratory at LYNN,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb.
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
D.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
TO Women.-Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink.
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been ad-
visingsick women free ofcharge. Outof
the vast volume of experience in treat
ing female ills Mrs Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that will help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if She doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.

a Depository Law

No more timely agitation could be
taken up than that which a number OF
our state papers are bringing forward
for the enactment of a state depository
law
By such a law the taxpayers of Mas
sachusetts are saved the sum of 3d.,
.525 per year that being the amount OF
interest which accrues on the state
funds. Time deposits pay two and one
half per cent and open accounts two

POOR IN CITY ovERFED.
High Death Rate is Due to Too Much
to Eat and Not to Starvation.

T1I9n 0edIu ndIS - 1OS 60 tOO WNStl
to Eat and Not to Starvation.
New York, July 23.-According to
health experts New Workers, especial
y the poor, eat too much. The num-
Der of hospitals. dispensaries and ply
sicians, to say nothing Of the death
rate might easily be cut in half, they
say, if the daily rations of the rich, the
well-to-do and the majority of the poor
were reduced one third in summer.
The experts support their assertions
with a lot of interesting statistics re-
lating to the size of the stomach, the
amount of work it can safely do and
the sort of food most conducive to
health and longevity Nevertheless,
New York continues day and night to
consume remarkable variety of foods,
able variety of liquids, hard and soft,
and to build and endow hospitals w2T6s:
subsequently, are filled two thirds with
the comparatively poor.
There is a lot written and said these
days about the extravaganza of the
feasts of the rich and the hunger of the
poor, but during the summer at least
the peril of New Yorks poor, l find, is
not hunger, but too much food" said
a worker connected with a phsS,n-
thropic organization. The rich are
saved from some of the penalties of an
overcrowded stomach by the fact that
their feasts are periodical They may
gorge themselves, perhaps. from time
to time, but they do stop eating for a
few hours afterward.
THE canons of polite society frown
on the lunch basket continuous per-
Torrance Among the poorer classes
these canons do not exist, and it tries
my soul, to say nothing of my stomach,
to watch the indiscretions of young and
old-but especially of the young-on
the days outings, which at this time of
year form so large part of their social
schedule. On such occasions it is eat,
eat, eat, from the time the family
leaves home in the morning till it gets
back. at night. and until the various
members are stuffed to repletion."

1856 Cities of the Country.
Washington, July 23.-Applicants
for positions as meat inspectors We're
examined Saturday, in 1876 cities of the
country. The examination was pro-
vided and conducted by the civil SER
vice commission and approximately
5000 men struggled with problems of
good meat and bad. OF the whole num-
Der of men who took the examination
only 500 will be needed Immediately. It
is expected by Secretary Wilson that
he will have no serious difficulty in Sc
curing from among these who We're
examined Saturday the requisite num-
Der of competent inspectors. A con-
siderable proportion of those who took
the examination probably will pass,
but the selection for immediate SER
vice will be made from among those
who have the highest averages. Others
who pass will be placed on the eligible
list and may be called into service la
ter. Secretary Wilson expects to have
his force of inspectors ready to be-
gin work by Aug. 1.
At the instance of Secretary Wilson
the examination was made essentially
practical. He wants men who have had
experience in judging the quality OF
freshly killed meat
