FIGHTS WITH A SHARK.
HoteI-keeper Encounters Animal and
Battles Bare Handed.

Ever hear of a herring whipping a
shark in an open sea battle? No?
Well, go down to Coney Island and
ask for Mr.. Geary, a %corpulent person
kept at the island to make high tide
when the water appears too low for
good bathing, says the Indianapolis
Star. Mr.. Geary will show you the
shark, three feet long, with its eyes
blackened, its nose broken and dead
lpon the beach, where it took the
count.
Mr.. Herring keeps the Sea Gate
Beach hotel. He decided to take a
swim, and was 300 feet off shore
when the shark was sighted. The
shark at the time was swimming on
his back to keep from swallowing too
much water and at the same time
keeping a sharp lookout for pompano
and spaghetti.
Mr.. Herring saw the shark first.
Usually when a man sees a shark
first the shark does not see the man
II the nan can help it. But with
Herring it was different. He made
for the shark, and, just as though he
| were Joe Cans going in the ring with
some second-rate fighter, he led for
the shark and caught it by the left
I'm. Even with n fin the shark was
still able to swim, and Mr.. Herring,
holding tight to one fin, managed to
grasp the other.
In this manner, the shark being
held in front of him and permitted to
swim by the use of its tail, Mr. Her
ing headed for shore until he came
across a piece of driftwood. The
shark by this time was becoming
tired of towing a large mar ashore.
Mr.. Herring took the piece of drift.
wood and beat the shark about the
head until it gave up and came ashore
and took the count. 1t weighed 10
pounds.

VIII Make Stamps as Usual.

Although al outside printing oncern
promised to print all of our postage
stamps cheaper than the government
can do the work itself the contract
was again awarded to the bureau Of en-
craving and printing. 1t is claimed
that the small saving in money would
be more than offset by the loss IN the
machinery in the latter plant, eve il
sold to the outsider at market value.
In medicine, as well, ~cheapness is not
to be considered over merit, and for
that eason Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters should be the first choice of every
one suffering from poor appetite, head
ache, vomiting, belching, heartburn,
dyspepsia, indigestion, c~ostiveness,
colds or malaria. For over SO years it
has given complete satisfaction. Try
a bottle. 1t has been approved by the
pure drug commissioners.

RICHARDS ABOVE CRITICISM.

Washington dispatches indicate that
Governor w. a. Richards is t. retire
from the government service as he re,
tired from the service of Wyoming,
with a high record for integrity and eff.
~ficiency.
The following paragraph appeared in
a Washington special to the Denver
Republican of the 9th instant:
Secretary Hitchcock having failed
in ~substantiating charges made by him
to the department of iustic against the
administration of District Attorney
Burke Of Wyoming, is now attempting
to discredit District Attorney Cranston
of Colorado"
And the following excerpts are taken
from a Washington special to the
Cheyenne Tribune:
The sending of the nomination of
James r. Garfield to the senate as sec
rotary of the interior, d~issipates all
doubt as to the retirement OF Ethan
Allen Hitchcock on March 4. During
the past five years there have been
many reports that Mr.. Hitchcock
would retire. but each time the report
proved mythical. So frequently had
these phantom stories appeared that
when even the president announced
thirty days g that Secretary Hitch,
cock would retire on March 4th. but
few people really believed hat it
would occur.
That Secretary Hitchcock is not
retiring voluntarily can be stated au.
thoritatively. President Roosevelt has
discovered too late that such a change
is desirable. and the official conirma-
ton of the presidents announcement
that Hitchcock would retire has beer
hailed with delight by public men re.

WEDDING DANCE IN SPAIN.
There Was Lots of Stamping and
1.-the Serpentine Motions.

The wedding dance was being held
in a long, narrow building near a
fountain, and we entered on a smooth
earth floor; seats were ranged about
the sides of the whitewashed
and the low rafters were draped and
festooned with fancy wall paper with
gold scrolls in it, say Scribner's Mag
azine. The music was furnished by a
piano organ at one end of the long
room, turned in rotation by a number
of small boys in their clean blue
blouses and brown corduroy breeches,
who felt their Importance, and at the
other end of the room a table was
spread with cakes and bread and a
wine c~oncoction, very sweet and pleas
ant, but seductive. The women, some
bringing their babies, were a pleasant
set, but not beautiful, although a few,
with their large dark eyes, came very
near to it. They did not wear the gay
costumes of my Imagination, but their
dresses showed great care n con-
scientious patching. A gay handker-
chief was often folded around the
neck and across the breast and large
earrings and big breastpins were the
vogue, even among the young women.
The men wore broad-brimmed black
felt hats and clean blue biouses, cor
duroy trousers, either light tan or
brown, and the long red or black sash
belt called a %"faja," wound many
times about the waist, the folds serv-
ing as pockets for cigarettes, tobacco
pouch and the villainous knife that
every one carries.
The dances were round" inter-
spersed with a square dance, where
four people comprised a set-a sort of
~fandango, with lots of stamping and
attempts at 1.-THE, s%erpentlne motions.
with the hands raised above the head.
There was a very old man who danced
with great gusto and amused the
crowd OF young people, who encour
aged him with %clapping of hands.

his weaknesses In other directions are
legion. He has permitted a few under
lings In his department to prejudice
him against almost every man in pub
lie life. He has even permitted his
private secretary to have prepared in
his office amdavits rejecting serious.
ly on public men. So strong have
his prejudices become that Secretary
Hschcock has lookel upon almost
every man who entered his office with
, suspicion. This applied to senators
and representatives equally with men
In private life, who visited him on
personal business. Only a few pet
personal friends have been relieved
OF this suspicion and as a result fav-
ors have been bestowed which were
in striking contrast with his official
action on other cases pending before
his office.
There is no doubt but that his at
tempt to discredit Commissioners Rich
ards, of the general land office, and
to besmirch the character of certain
prominent western senators was the
direct cause Of his retirement. Com
missioner Richards has been one of
the most efficient commissioners that
has ever presided over the general
land office. Those who are familiar
with his conduct of that Office well
know that the administration of the
Office is above criticism, but that this
would not be so If Commissioner Rich
ards had not on several occasions re-
fused to carry out orders Of Secretary
Hitchcock and appealed to the presi.
dent, who promptly sustained him
Had he obeyed the secretary's orders
he might today be paying the penalty
of administrative indiscretion. But
Commissioner Richards acted wisely
then and as a result has nothing to
fear today, n accordingly courts the
fullest investigation of his office.
Having thwarted the commands of
the secretary, it is not surprising that
the latter should have no particular
love for him today, and the yelled in
situations of possible maladministra.
ton in the land office which have filled
the papers of the country during the
past thirty days are directly traceable
to the private secretary of Secretary
Hitchcock. This is one of the under
lings around the department who have
gotten the secretary into a majority OF
the trouble he is now in.
president Roosevelt is beginning to
appreciate the fact thai there has been
no executive officer in the public ser.
vice who has performed his duties
more co~nscientiously than has Com
missioner Richards. If blame attaches
to the administration of his office, it is
the result of interference with the man
agement of that Office by his immediate
superior, the secretary of the interior

MUST BE NO

The Republican learns that there is
to be a determined effort on the part
OF interested parties 20 so frame the
depository bill that it will not include
county, city or school district funds.
This would mean that more than one
half of the public deposits of the state
would be eliminated from the opera
ton of the law and that 1t would there
fore be less than half u loaf.
There should be prompt and ener'
getic action on the part of the people
of wyoming to head off any such ac-
ton. If a depository law is good for
the state it is also good for the coun-
ties, cities and school districts. All
public funds should b]eJrought squarely
within its provisions. Under the con
stitution of the state no person can
make, directly or indirectly, profit from
public funds without being deemed a
felon. Section I, article XIV, of the
state constitution says:
sec. 7. All money belonging to the
state, or to any county, city, town, vii
lage or other subdivision therein, eX-
cept as herein otherwise provided,
shall whenever practicable, be deposit
ed in a national bank or banks, or In
a bank or banks Incorporated under
the laws of this state; provided thai
the bank or banks in which sucf
non is deposited shall furnish securi
ty to be approved as provided by law
and shall also pay a reasonable rate Of
interest thereon. Such interest shalI
accrue to the fund from which 1t is de
rived" .
And section s of the same article
says:
Sec. s. The making Of profit, direct
ly or indirectly, out OF state, county,
city. town or school district money or
other public fund. or using the same
for any purpose not authorized by law,
by any public officer, shall be deemed
n felony, and shall be punished as pro,
vided by law"
The fundamental law of the state
is a mighty good one N ought tt
be obeyed by every citizen. Every Off
Ger, when assuming the duties of his
Office, takes a solemn oath that he viii
support the constitution of the state
Legislators have taken such an oath
and it is now their duty to see that a
statute carrying the provisions Of the
constitution into effect is passed. In
doing this there should be no halfway
measure 1t should be sufficiently com
~prehens,Ee to carry ~ the exact and
explicit terms of the constitution
nothing more and nothing less.
At its Casper convention the repuh
lican party of the state Of Wyoming
declared in favor OF a depository law il
accordance with the provisions of The
state constitution, and in his annua
message Governor Brooks directs the
attention of The legislature 10 the de
STABILITY of such an act.
1t now only remains for the legisla.
ture to perform a simple duty. The
people OF the state ask that the provis.
ions of the fundamental law be com
piled with. The legislator who waivers
or ~equivocates will place himself in a
very u~nenviable position.
