TIE annual report of the Connecti-
cut Mutual Life Insurance company
will be found in another column,
showing the company's solid financial
condition.
In the face of the disturbance of
the business due to the New York in
vestigation, this company has steadily
forged ahead, and is enabled to show
for the past year handsome increase
in the insurance written; in the total
insurance in force; in the income
from premiums; in the assets and the
surplus, and of special interest to
members, the fact that the earnings
will enable the company to maintain
the present scale of dividends during
the year 1906. Many companies have
suffered from loss of new business,
owing to the New York troubles, but
our Hartford companies with their
repu tation of conservative and honest
management have generally been ben
Gifted rather than injured. In proof
of this the Connecticut Mutual max es

268 of the total insurance in force on
the ''paid for basis" This result
has been reached without the expen-
diture of an extra dollar for commits
sious, bonuses or allowances. AS to
financial management, it speaks we'll
for the administration that with over
$66. OOO,OO of assets, there is a sur
plus TO policy holders of 81, 897. CAT,

HEARTY WELCOME TO
THE YOUNG LADIES,


A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted the University Mandolin and
Glee club at the opera house last Sat.
urday evening, and extended to these
young ladies a right hearty welcome,
says the Rock Springs Miner. The
program was well received, the young
ladies being obliged to respond to en-
cores after almost every number. The
work of the Mandolin club excells that
of the Glee club, the former being
mnch the larger. Mr.. John Hunton
delighted every one with his piano so
los, he Is certainly the finest pianist
that has appeared in Rock Springs for
many a day n his work speaks well
for the school of music in connection
with the university. Mr.. Hunton was
recalled three times after his first num-
Der and certainly should feel pleased
his reception. After the concert
the young ladies' were given a dance,

DATES FOR
THE CIRCUIT
SIX FAIRS To BE HELD IN THIS
STATE AND COLORADO BE-
GINNING IN AUGUST.
Failure of Trustees of Albany County
and lnter-Mountain Fair Associa-
ton to Hear from State Fair and
Cheyenne Frontier Day Causes the
Dates to Be Fixed Regardless.

Some time ago The Republican not
ed that the dates for the fourth an
nual fair of the Albany County and In
ter-Mountain Fair association had been
tentatively fixed, dependent somewhat
upon the dates for the state fair al
Douglas and the Frontier day show al
Cheyenne. The secretaries of those or
CARNATIONS were written to and the
dates determined by the board of trus.
tees of the fair here given them, with
the suggestion hat they might be
changed in the interest of a complete
circuit embracing Laramie, Greeley,
Colo, Longmont, Colo, Loveland,
Colo, Fort Collins, Colo, Brighton,
Colo, n the meets at Douglas and
Cheyenne. No attention was paid to
the letters and so the cities in the pro
posed circuits were forced to act with
out Douglas and Cheyenne. The dates
as determined upon are now as follows:
Fair Dates Fixed.

TESTING the British Navy.

1t has long been British policy to
maintain a naval force that should be
superior to any combination Of oppon'
ents, and in order to see if their pres
ent navy is up to the standard a series
oftests have been arranged for. Experts
claim it will be the greatest naval dis
play assembled. The greatest med
icine ever compounded for m all
ments of mankind during the past SO
years is the famous Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t has been subjected to
the most severe tests and the results
have always been satisfactory. Then,
why experiment with comparatively un-
known remedies when you can just as
easily get Hostetter's. For curing and
preventing heartburn, belching, poor
appetite, cramps, headache, sour ris'
ings, dyspepsia, Indigestion, costive'
ness, female ills or malaria it is excel
lent. Try a bottle at once.

GOODNESS OF
UNCLE SAM
UNIQUE METHOD USED THROUGH
MAILS TO TELL FRIENDS
OF THE DISASTER.
Mail Cars Filled With Notes Written
on Every Conceivable Form of
Note Paper Carried by the Postof-
flee Department Sans Postage for
Want of Stamps.

This morning one of the most unique
and remarkable shipments of mail per
haps ever handled by the governments
postal service passed through Chey,
enne in the form of the first mail sent
out of San Francisco, says the Chey,
enne Tribune. Mails have come from
Oakland, but this consignment was
written entirely by the sufferers in the
devastated city.
In many instances the Cheyenne pos
tai clerks who handled the mail had
difficulty in making out the addresses
while the epistles themselves show
that in their anxiety to write to friends
Or relatives the victims utilized what
ever was available.
Material Used for Letters.
There We're little scraps of paper
with a few hurriedly scrawled words,
pieces of p~astboard boxes, pieces torn
from the corner of newspapers, pieces
of wallpaper, and even thin slabs of
wood and shingles, each telling a tale
of disaster and horror and many CON
tanning p]iteous appeals for help. One
small piece of note paper had evident
iy been torn from a notebook which
had been in the fire, as the piece OF
paper was charreu on one side.
Postage Stamps Lacking.
On none of the bizarre letters was
there any postage, for no stamps we're
available and Uncle Sam is carefully
forwarding these novel epistles to the
parties to whom they are addressed,
setting at naught the rigid postal laws
regarding payment for mail shipments.
In the main the letters showed the in
American spirit. "All is lost,
but, thank God, we are safe and every
thing will come out all right" was the
tenor of many; while others, written
by those who had lost loved ones near
and dear to them were the pathetic ut
terances of broken hearts.
Each Letter Told Its Tale.
Each letter was a tragedy in itself
and told a tale of suffering and sorrow
that would excite sympathy in a heart
of stone. Perhaps the saddest of these
was a small piece of ~pasteboard on
which was scrawled in a woman's hand
only a few short words, but words
which told of the. infinite sorrow and
soul-sickness of one poor mortal: "Ba-
by and Will buried under our home.
Am i'll. Come to me. Mary"

PENS NOW MADE OF TANTALITE.
This Substance Said to Be Unaffected
by the Ink.

This Substance Said to Be Unaffected
by the Ink.
In December the widely known cleo
trio firm of Siemens & Halske of Ber-
lin obtained German letters patent
for a new writing pen, advises Consul
General Guenther of Frankfort-on-
the-Main. This pen is made of tantalite,
an extremely hard metal, according to
the Boston Transcript. On Jan. IL,
1905, the latest progress in lamps. the
new tantalite lamp of the firm of Sic
mems & Halske, was for the first time
exhibited before the Electro-Technicai
association of Berlin.
On this occasion DR.. Werner o
Bolton delivered an Introductory ad-
dress concerning the method by which
he had succeeded in producing the
metal tantalite in a pure state and de-
clared that it possessed a very ex-
traordinary hardness. Sheets made of
tantalite were so hard that with a
diamond drill, which worked for three
days and three nights with 5000 revo-
luions per minute, hardly a noticeable
impression was made and the drill
itself was dulled. At that time 1t was
stated that the firm intended to
manufacture tools and other articles
of t~antalite. This latest patent is the
result of experiments to make use OF
the properties OF tantalite.
The tantalite pen resists chemicals
to a ver' high degree. 1t is much
harder and more elastic than the steel
pen and on that account indestruc
tible. 1t is even more elastic than a
! gold pen and it is predicted that If II
will be placed upon the market at
moderate price it will supersede bott
steel and gold pens.

Fun at Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun at home.
Don't shut your house lest tie sun should
fade your carpets your hearts. lest a
hearty laugh shake down some OF the
musty old cobwebs there. II you want 10
ruin your sons let them think that all mirth
and social enjoyment must be left on the
threshold without when they come home at
night. When once house is regarded as
only a place to eat, drink and sleep in the
work Is begun that ends in gambling houses
and reckless degradation. Young people
must have fun and relaxation somewhere
If they do not find 1t at their own hearth
stones ii will be sought at other less profit
able places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at
night and make the homestead delightful
with all those little arts that parents so
perfectly understand Don't repress the
buoyant spirits of your children: half an
hours merriment round the lamp and fire
side of home blots out the remembrance of
many a care and annoyance during the
day, and the best safeguard they can take
with them into the world is the influence of
bright little domestic sanctum.
