MADE GREAT CLEANUP
IN GOPHER COLONY.


Colonel T. ]. Dayton returned last
night from his farm west of the city,
where he and James and Ray Van
Buskirk had been making a mighty
and successful warfare on gophers.
Last year the animals almost destroy
ed the grain crop. This year the gen
tlemen sought to save it. They mixed
%strychnine and cyanide Of potassium
with wheat and cornmeal and poured
a spoonful or two down each gopher
hole, the preparation receiving a little
oil of annis and molasses. Yesterday
when they went about the field they
saw not to exceed half a dozen goph'
ers. The poisoned grain was poured
into the holes and seems to have done
the business for the pests.

IT'S WRONG
IMPRESSION
MINISTER OF GERMAN EvANGELI.
CAL CHURCH TAKES ExcEP-
TIoNs TO FIGURES.
Does Not Dispute Correctness of Esti-
mates Made BY Rev. LansdeII, But
Believes They Do Not Make Cor
rect Showine-Church Attendance
Greater Than Shown.

To the Editor of The Republican.
These figures NEAR that 7,4OO per-
sons in Laramie do not attend any di-
vine service at all
If this statement is true. then the
fair name of our city is misrepresent-
ed in our state, and wherever the city
papers are read. Seven thousand
four hundred persons in Laramie do
not attend any divine services at ALL"
This is a wrong estimate The figures
in Rev. Lansdell's statistical report are
correct, but they only refer to the reg
ular church attendance on one Sun
day; they show only the mean temper
ature of the religious life in this city.
Wrong Impression Given Out.
Granted that the religious life in our
city ought to be far more vigorous, the
figures of 400 persons not attending
any divine services nevertheless are
not correct. The statistics show only
the regular church attendance. There
are very many people who attend SER
vices at intervals. Every Sunday the
services show different persons in at
tendance. 1t will not be far from the
truth to estimate those irregulars at a
few hundred. There are also a few
hundred who do not find their own de-
nominations represented in the city
and are not enrolled as members of any
city church, but they attend occasion
ally the services at the different
churches. These are not counted III
the statistics. There are also many
railroad men and night-workers who
are not able to attend the regular ser
vices
