DELIVERED LECTURE
m NEW YORK TOWN.

The Elmira IN. " Advertiser Of
the 18th has the following reference
to DIR. John Franklin Brown, principal
of the state normal school, who with
his wife have been visiting in the east
and who are now on their way home:
"In the assembly chamber of the
city hall last evening, DR.. John Frank
schools was enjoyed by an audience
that filed the large room. The teach
ers and many pupils of the public
schools attended with many of their
friends. The lecture was illustrated
by Mr.. Guion of this city with his
~stereopticon. About fifty views of Eng
fish schools were shown and a number
Of fine photographs taken by DR..
Brown at Eaton and Oxford were
thrown upon the canvas. The illus
trated lecture was pronounced by all
to be one of instructiveness and inter-
est, and something quite out of the or
binary.
"Dr. Brown, principal of the normal
college at the University of Wyoming,
gave an interesting talk before the
students of the Elmira free academy
yesterday. DR.. Brown has studied
English school systems and his infor-
nation on this subject, and his enter.
tanning way of imparting it, makes
him a lecturer of the first order of
merit"

The Wealth of the Nation,

The wealth of the United States as
fixed by the last census is LOT billion
dollars, a sum so vast as to be impos-
sible of comprehension. 1t is more than
the combined wealth Of France, Ger
many and Russia, and twice that of
Great Britain and Ireland. 1t is also
impossible to comprehend the curative
powers of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
until you have given it a fair trial.
Then you'll realize what a wonderful!
remedy It is for curing and preventing
dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
b~iliousness, insomnia, poor appetite,
ills or malarial fever. 1t is also
excellent for restoring strength after
the system has been weakened by a
long sick spell. We guarantee it abb
solutely pure, so no one need hesitate
in trying a bottle today. Your druggist,
grocer or dealer will supply you with
the genuine.

ABOUT BONUSES.

OF course Laramie wants another
railroad. 1t wants as many railroads
as 1t can get. 1t would like to see
Bill Nye's prophecy verified and the
roads sticking out of Laramie like tn.

not want railroads bad enough to hang
up bonuses to be peddled out to pros,
pective builders.

They will be welcomed and will prob
ably get a share of the business we
have to offer. If they decide to build
around Laramie, it is their privilege
to do so. They must work out their
W destinies, The Republican believes
Laramie has as much to offer a rail
o a as a railroad has TO offer Laramie.
1t is an important town and has much
transportation business. There is nc
particular reason why the business
men Of this community should go down
in their pockets and raise u bonus
without some positive assurance of an
equivalent. Until there is a definite
proposition made, backed by men OF
known financial standing, there is alb.
solutely nothing to consider. 1t would
be folly, indeed, to hang up anything
in the nature of a bonus until there is
something tangible II positive to act
upon, and even then the wisdom OF
such action is open to question.

MORAL EDWARDS.

A Sturgis, S. d., correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune takes a very happy
view OF this life. He says:
Your article in Sundays Tribune
about the man-if he should be called
such-who advertised his unborn babe
for adoption on the grounds hat he
could not support it OF 500 a month.
What this nan really needs is a guar.
dian who would draw his wages and
pay it out when necessary, | and my
wife have eight children-three OF them
now attending ccmmon school and one
too young yet for school. The rest
are all grown and all have a good high
school education. One boy, Is years
old, is Ii linotype operator, drawing
from sos TO $110 per month. The 9th.
ers are all in good circumstances, as
We see it. d,
Now, at no time in my life did l ever
get $500 per month salary-in fact my
salary has not averaged SIS per month
since | was married. OF course, there
are a great many luxuries we do with
out, but by having a good economical
wife we have plenty to eat and plenty
to wear. l think that the man and
wife who shirk the responsibility OF
one child on 500 per month are moral
towards. Probably if their father and
mother had taken the same view they
do neither one would have eve been
born"

SERIOUSLY INJURED
RY KICK OE A HORSE.


Paul Buffum, ~9-year-old son of DR..
H. G. Buffum, residing at the north
east corner of South Gould and East
Works street, and a nephew of Prof.
B. c. Buffum Of Laramie, vas seriously
injured Saturday morning by a kick
from a horse, says the Sheridan En-
terprise. Paul was in the corral,
where the horse was confined, and
thought he would show some little
girls what a master horseman he was.
so he got after the horse with a switch
and made him run around the corral.
The horse did not take kindly to the
youngsters whip and kicked the boy
in the face, infichng quite serious in
%juries. The horse vas shod and the
calks of the shoe cut into the cheek of
the boy, making a bad wound but the
most serious injury was tho breaking
of the lower Jaw bone at the chin.
Surgeons were called and attended to
the lads injuries, but it will be some
time till he gets owe the experience.
1t is a wonder he was not killed, and
his parents are glad he was not more
seriously injured. The horse belongs
to W. P. Service, who lives in the
first house east Of DIR. Buffum's, and Is
usually gentle, but this time he got
tired of playing with the children.

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
ON THE RESERVATION

Supervisor w. E. Jackson Of the Big
Horn national forest reservation in
Wyoming has been authorized to ex-
pend $2,175 for work of permanent i'm.
provement on that reservation. This
amount covers the construction OF
three cabins for rangers at a cost OF
$3.50 and pastures for each cabin at d
cost of $500. This gives the rangers
a place In which to live during the win
ter months and also a place in which
to keep their horses. The country IN
the Big Horn forest reservation will be
made more accessible by the construc-
ton of a wagon road and a number of
miles of trail work. The wagon road
will be built in cooperation with the
county at a cost of about 5000. This
road will run from Big Horn to the
McShane lumber camp, a distance of
about twenty-four miles.

RODE SEVENTY MILES
To VISIT RELATIVES.

Riding alone, with no thought OF
fear, across the Union pass and Cont
mental divide, over the forest trails and
roads, Mrs. Helen Bates Belknap, the
nervy little wife of Forest Ranger Earl
Belknap, returned to her home in Pine
dale on Tuesday evening last, after a
trip of about seventy miles in the sad
die. She says she just got homesick
and as Mr.. Belknap was busy, there
was no other way for her to get home
but come alone, so she just broke
camp and came on the run. The feats
of Wyoming women know no bounds
when the mind is once made up, and
their ability for putting into action the
determinations which come into those
minds are something wonderful.

MADE SENSATION.
Ezra Meeker and His OK Team Reach.
es New York From Washington.

New York, Sept. ia team OF
oxen drawing a prairie schooner, the
driver of which was a rugged old man
wearing western garb, attracted great
crowds on Broadway yesterday. The
driver was Ezra Meeker, pioneer of
the Oregon trail, who had returned
over the trail he followed to the west
half a century ago. Meeker's trip
ended at the Battery. He had come
from Puyallup. Wash, in 626 days.
His object in making the journey is
to persuade the governmet to build
a national highway from east to west.

Our Beautiful Autumns-

This autumnal tinge in the weather
reminds that the summer is gone. Not
always, but nearly SO, we have the
most delightful weather of the year
from now to November, December or
even January-barring, of course, an
equinoxial storm that is about due.
That, too, has been known TO miss us
entirely. Some ten or eleven years
ago, as we remember the event, CT av-
erage of about a foot of snow fell over
the whole of the Big Horn basin. That
didn't mean winter by any Of
means. for the ground was warm and
the snow disappeared in a day or two
and we had a long term of fine wealth
err. But the frost king is pushing IL
his sentries a little closer, and n ot
these mornings We will wake up to
find that tender flowers and plants
have been nipped. That doesn't mean
winter either, for it Is not uncommon
to see sweet peas and other hardy
flowers blooming here in November
and possibly a little later.
That we have had a di~sagreeabie
summer can not be denied, but after
the strangers within our gates have
experienced n of the genuine Big
Horn valley autumns we believe they
will agree hat We can produce an ar
ticle that has no equal.-Thermopolis

CITY-BRED TEACHERS

Many a city-bred teacher goes TO the

Farm. One of the most frequent
causes of failure is lack of such under
standing Of subjects of interest to
farmers as will place the teacher in
sympathy with the people among whom.
she must live and work. Not only is
the average teacher from Denver ig'
norant of agriculture but she has not
enough interest in the subject to keep
up one side of the conversation rela-
tive thereto. Studying elementary as,
riculture for a few weeks will by no
means give a teacher a practical I'M
derstanding of farm methods, but 1t
should give information that will make
one less stupid in the opinion Of coun,

TWAS ONLY A DREAM.

Kind friends, just listen for a moment
to me.
One night as | slept in my bed.
While the world was inactive and TAX
ing its rest,
Strange visions came into my head.
No grating or fraud could l see any
where;
The minds OF politicians were clean;
No troubles or strife between man and
But, remember, twas only a dream.
The Western Federation of Miners 1
With q dynamite stick in the mine.
Regardless of mercy. order or law
Their hands STEPPED in murder and
crime.
Saw William Haywood in Boise City
Suspended by a rope from a beam.
And the Western Federation Of Miners
was crushed.
But, remember, twas only q dream.
The next was a vision I'll w forget
A slong as this life is a span; -
| saw thousands of strangers walking
our streets,
And they came all the way from
Cheyenne.
They came to our city to witness the
fair,
1t was a most lovable scene,
Cheyenne and Laramie were in each
others arms
But, alas! It was only a dream.
The city Of Laramie was in a desolate
state;
Business was fiat on the ground.
Hundreds of laborers walking the
streets
And not a days work could be found.
Our building materials were all i'm
ported,
Even our butter and cream.
Also, the cement out of which our
sidewalks are made
But, remember, twas only a dream.
The slaughter house man bought all
the beeves he could find
And sold to the butchers so cheap
That the poor as well as the rich could
buy
And the meat was SO tender and
sweet.
The butchers of Wyoming got all the
fat beeves,
While Omaha got all the lean,
But when 1 opened my eyes to my
woeful surprise
l found twas only a dream.

the pleasure of being general manager.
We are offering a small block of stock

1t is in regard to this stock that I

In taking the management Of this
property l did SO with a full knowledge
as to the usual merits it contained and
with the sanction of the stockholders.
I mapped out a plan for thorough and
deep development, which / have every
reason to believe will, when complet.
ed, bring forth a large producer and a
property that will bring to those who
become stockholders, abundant reward
from their investment. 1t is a note
worthy fact that the men employed
at the mine are buying this stock as
are members of the Van Horn-Miller
syndicate. The Centennial boosters
are buying it. l consider it one Of the
very best mining properties in the
country today. and do not hesitate in
advising you to purchase a block Of
stock while the present offering lasts.
1t has been stated that people Of Lar
