TO RESCUE.

Some days ago The Republican re-
ferred to the case of j. w. January, of
Knasas City. Mo-, a man who had at
one time been convicted of robbing a
p~ostof1ce In Oklahoma and sentenced
to the penitentiary at Leavenworth,
kas., for a period of five years. Jan
uary had served most of his term when
he escaped from the institution. That
was about nine years ago. He changed
his name to Charles w. Anderson, mar
ried and establishes himself In bust
ness. Recently he was discovered and
returned to prison to complete his sen
tence. Nine years of honesty did not
appear to count for anything and even
good time was lost because of the es
cape. But the good people of Kansas
and Missouri are of the opinion that
there is something of the nature of re.
form connected with the penal statutes
n institutions of America and have
taken steps to secure January's re.
lease. 81

welt and the president has requested
the department of justice to ascertain
II there is any reason why the sentence
of January should not be committed or
an absolute pardon granted. The presi
dent in certifying the case to the de.
partment of justice makes the follow,
ing comment:

Jean Vatican will have a deep feeling
of sympathy for this man who has for
nine years lived the life of an upright
citizen only to again be plunged into
the depths of despair and they will
hope for his speedy release. There is
such a thing as repentance, and mercy,
too, is not entirely unknown.

Erred From the Sentinel.
Not content with expounding these
principles of agriculture to the other
experts, Nye wrote them into an article
which he published in the Sentinel,
with the result that he vas promptly
"hred' upon the return OF the editor
in-chief and made so deadly an enemy
of the then president of the Albany
County National bank that that worthy
would not speak to him fot years and
his financial difficulties were much in
creased by the fact that he never could
obtain a loan from the bank.
Marriage Of Nye.
On September rs, 1877, Nye was mar
ried to Miss Fannie Smith, who came
over from Cheyenne about a year pre-
viously to engage in teaching music
in Laramie. The wedding took place
at the residence of Judge Hayford on
north Second street in the house now
owned by Peter Kennedy and is still
remembered by old-timers here as the
occasion of much jollity. MI. and Mrs.
Nye kept house at first in what is
known as the Presbyterian cottage on
Third street, later moving to apart
ments over what Is now the store OF
the Gem City Grocery company and
then to the Wanless building which
then stood upon the site where now is
the handsome Carnegie library.
Twenty Dollars for One Story.
Nye, after he left the Sentinel, prac-
ticed law, and was also librarian OF
the county library, writing all the time
for various journals but receiving lit
tie for his work. His first check OF
any considerable amount came from
the Denver Tribune a paper since
merged into the Denver Republican
and which at that time had as assist
ant editor Eugene Field, in after life
one of the warmest friends and admir-
ers of Nye. The article in question
was entitled High Art in Laramie
and referred to the experiences of Mrs
Root and Mrs. Nye with a peddler Of
fancy laces. Mrs. Nye was referred to
in the article, much, by the way. to her
disgust, as Samantha, and Mrs. Root
who cared not in the least, as Amanda
The check was for the sum of twenty
dollars, and with it Nye repaired to
the ranch of Colonel Root where Mrs.
Nye was then visiting. 1T is this

1t would appear that those who OPP

The people generally should expert

Wyoming should encourage the

COCAINE PROHIBITED.

A law went into effect in New York
State Sunday which forbids the sale
of cocaine or any of its admixtures, ex-
cept upon the written prescription of a
reputable physician, and that prescrip-
ton may be filed only once. Whole
salers may supply the drug only to
licensed pharmacists or druggists, reg
istered practicing physicians or dent
lists, and veterinaries. And all pack
ages must be labeled poison and on
that label the name and quality of the
cocaine or it's salts must be distinctly
described. Violations of this law bear
the penalties of Imprisonment for not
more than year, or fine of not more
than $1,000, or both. 1t appears that
this law was procured by the Iabors
of Rev. James 3. Curry of St. James
Roman Catholic church in James street,
"a church in the midst of the poorest
people of the later immigrations. Mr..
Curry found the drug sold in the Bow
cry shops as freely as if it were EPSON
salts, and AYERS that some of the deal
ers have been sending out agents to
sell the dope" in the streets. He says
that there are more than $4,000 victims
of the deadly habit in the city, and
that once in the way of it, these people
are the most degraded of criminals
