HERE Is THE

When Senator Warren gave out his
public statement relating to the testi-
mony of Special Agent Myendorf he
adverted to n report in the Denver pa
pers to the effect that the special agent
had at one time made n sensational at
tempt to take his W life. This was
merely an incident showing the state
of mind of the witness. To this refer
ence on the part of the senator, Myen
dorm made indignant response, deny
ing that such an attempt had been
made.
In order hat the matter may be kept
straight in the minds of the people OF
Wyoming, The Republican makes some
quotations bearing upon the actions of
the special agent, leaving it to the peo
pie to judge whether his word should
be given more credence and greater
consideration han that of the senator:
The surgeons office, city of Denver,
contains, the following certificate:
Denver, Dec. rs, 1904, 4:SO p. NJ
Michael Myendorff, aged SO, U. s., sin
gle; land agent-1O43 Josephine st
Attempted suicide with s~trychnia T..
& r. DULIN."
At the time this record was made,
DR.. Dunn was the city physician and
surgeon for Denver.
The day following, Dec. 20, 1904, the
naarn- DAnpllsran aA,fnf,nA "a gnp,n
what lengthy account Of the attempt
made at suicide by Myendorff, from
which the following extracts are taken:
after trying to hire a man to cut his
throat and, failing in this, to kill him
self with s~trychnine, NJ. A. Myendorff,
special agent for the government land
office and n time protege of James G.
Blaine, escaped from his room this
morning and the police are now in
search of him. 1t is feared his dead
body will reward their search.
For a week, his friends say, Myen,
dorff has beer drinking heavily. Yes
terday his distress was further aug
mented by the failure of a woman
friend to keep an appointment with
him. Following this. Myendorff sent
for a barber to shave him n tried to
bride the man to cut his throat with
a razor Failing in this. Myendorff
last evening tried to commit suicide by
taking strychnine, but misjudged the
amount necessary to produce death
and was saved by Police Surgeon Nc
Gilliyray.
This man is regarded as entirely
insane from drink and worry, and the
police are in hourly expectation of find
ing his body. either in some roominl
house or out on the plains"
Other Denver papers contained ac
counts of the attempt at suicide anC
altogether the record seems so com
plete that Mr.. Myendorff's denial will
hardly stand.
And of what value is a mans word
who is crazed with drink, makes dates
with lewd women, attempts to bride
BARRIERS to cut his throat or who takes
strychnine with suicidal intent?

How Dlphtheria is contracted.

One often hears the expression, my
child caught a severe cold which de.
yeloped into d~iphtheria, when the truth
was that the cold had simply left the
little one particularly susceptible to
the wandering diphtheria germ. When
Chamberiain's Cough Remedy is Civ
en- it quickly cures the cold and les
sens the danger of diphtheria or any
other germ disease being contracted.

When to Go Home.

From the Button Qnd.) Pioneer:
when tired out, so home. When you
want consolation, go home. When you
want fun, go home. When you want
to show others that you have reformed,
go home and let your family get &C
quainted with the fact. When you want
to show yourself at your best go home
and do the act there. When you feel
like being extra liberal go home and
practice on your wife and children
first. When you want to shine with
extra brilliancy go home and light up
the whole household" To which we
would add, when you have a bad cold
go home and take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and a quick cure is certain.

WAS NOT CAUGHT
IN ALASKA AVALANCHE.


Frank Doherty, a pioneer of the Sum
dance valley, is calling on his Sun
dance friends, says the Sundance Moni-
tor. He has been in the Klondike
country for the past ten years, having
left there about three months 6 for
a visit in the states. He will return
to Alaska along toward spring and
look after his mining interests, which
have attained great proportions. The
last heard of Frank by his Wyoming
friends was a few years ago when he
with others was buried beneath an ay-
alanche of snow and ice, and the con-
clusion had been reached that the
party had never been rescued.

Der or the first of January. The mat
ter will be taken up and the meeting

Short Courses in Agriculture.
There have been some requests
coming to us to send the professors
of u agricultural college and Elk
pertinent station to give short courses
in agriculture, stock judging, lrriga-
ton, dry farming, and the like in the
northern part of the state and l should
like to make a definite schedule for
our men for the latter part of Deem
Der and perhaps the early part of
January, a trip of a couple of weeks.
Other Requests Received.
I'VE have a request from Newcastle
and one from Basin City and if we
make those dates we could give a
course in the neighborhood of Sheri.
dan and Big Horn. We could send
Prof. Buffum, professor of agriculture;
Prof. Morton, professor of animal hus-
bandry; Prof. Quaintance, professor of
economics, who has done special work
in agricultural economics; and, in ad.
dition, some expert on dry farming,
Can you not interest some people in
your locality in taking up this matter?
At Small Expense.
THE expense to the local people
would be only that of a place in which
to hold the sessions, the necessary ad,
vertising, and the trouble of getting TO
gether stock. / should be glad to heaI
what you think of holding a short
course in our locality and what the
people of that locality are particularly
interested in. Very truly yours,

THE FUEL FAMINE

AFFECTS G~OLDFIELD.
Mrs. C. B. Richie of this city has
just received a letter from her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Fred Sander Of Goldfield, in
which Mrs. Sander notes the fuel fam
inc in that section. She says that coal
is selling at $50 atom, with more money
than coal in sight, and that wood is al
most out of the question. People are
tearing down their outbuildings and
fences to provide fuel, and there is
considerable distress from the shortage
of fuel.

serves was an unwarranted interior.
ence on the part of the general gov
eminent with the right of states to reg
ulate their own game laws. His one
vote is not an exceedingly large pro-
test, however, against the new policy.
In spite of the fact that this great
majority of the house of representa-
dves is composed of very stubborn
men, like the eleven who refuse to
come over on the jury, there is a great
deal of logic in Mr.. Mondelrs posi-.
ton. Game laws and police regula-
lions within the states should be left
entirely to local control.

As Albany county would be the only
county that would be seriously affect
ed by a general redlstricting OF the
judicial districts, IT is likely that it
will be given some consideration when
the matter is taken up for discussion
in the Legislature. II It gets that far.
There appears to be much solicitation
in certain quarters over the fact that
our Judge is compelled to go away over
to Lander. Another judge would be
compelled to do the same thing were
Fremont county placed in another dis
trict, so what's the use? Judge Car
penter is not making any complaint
about the trip to Lander, but he would
make strenuous objection to having
his home changed by a Legislative act.
