Desire to Form Colony

Desire to Form Colony
Colonel II. E.. Christmas is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Orlan Clyde Cul-
len, l.. NJ. member of the bar of the Un-
tied States supreme court, under date
of July 26th, asking for information as
to the location of about 5000 acres Of
general farming and stock raising land
in Wyoming that could be bought
cheap for cash. The letter states that
the people who wish this land, desire
to form a colony. that they are Circas-
slams from the Caucasus, honest, sob
er, Industrious and physically the best
race in Europe. They expect to bring
over some of their Arab horses and
Angora goats and sheep If a suitable
place IA be found. He asks for
prompt reply. Colonel H. e. Christ
mas has handed this to us with the re-
quest that same be published and if
any such place is known, that informa-
ton he sent to Mr.. Cullin. suite 100, Ho-

LAND GRAsBERs ARE
RELEASED ON BOND.

After spending the night in the Lar
annie county Jail, E. M. Holbrook, E. E.
L%onabaugh and Robert McPhilamey,
fined by Judge Riner in the United
States district court for coal land
frauds, were released from custody to-
day, Holbrook and Lonabaugh under
$4,000 bonds each and McPhilamy un-
der $4,000 bonds, says Tuesdays Tri-
bune. The bonds were filed this morn
ing together with a bill of exceptions
on which will be based the appeal Of
the case to the United States circuit
court of appeals. The case is to be
taken to the higher tribunal and if
necessary to the United States SUI
preme court. When sentence was pro-
nounced by Judge Riner he ordered
that the defendants be committed to
the county Jail until the fines and costs
were paid. This action rendered
worthless the bonds which the defend
ants had furnished and the only way
the defendants could gain their liberty
was to take an appeal by filing a bill
of exceptions together with bonds in
the amount fixed by the court. The at
torneys worked all night preparing
this bill Of exceptions.

Wireless TeIephone a success.

A German professor has solved the
question of talking by wireless tele-
phone. His experiments have been
successful at a distance of rs miles,
and he claims that the possibilities of
extending the distance are almost
limitless. During the past "a years
thousands of persons have successfully
solved the question of how to regain
and retain their health, and that Is
through the remedy of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. No remedy is quite
so well adapted for making the stom.
ach strong, restoring the appetite and
aiding digestion as the Bitters, and
that is the main ease why you
ought to try a bottle at once. We guar.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.

A young man who persisted in whis'
pering loudly to the lady who accom-.
panied him to a symphony concert, tel.
ling her what the music meant
what sort of a passage was coming
next, and so on, caused serious an
noyance % everyone in his immediate
neighborhood. Presently he closed
his eyes and said to his companion:
Did you ever try listening to music
with your eyes shut? You've no idea
how lovely 1t sounds!"
T%hereupon a gentleman who sat in
a seat in front of the young man twist

From the viewpoint of civic pride,
at least, 1t would seem that the petit
ton of Martha Atkinson for permits
sion to repair the building at 102 Sec

fire of May 16. should be disallowed.
By no process car Mrs. Atkinson make

to the community. She would remodel
the front and make one wall in imita-
ton of a brick wall, but it would re-
main a cheap building to the end. 1t
should be removed and made to give
way for a modern structure, conform

A TRIBUTE TO MARK TWAIN.

Sydney Brooks, the noted English
man, compliments Mark Twain high
ly in an article in the London Chroni.
Gle, saying:
Mark Twain, the best loved of
Americans, as President Roosevelt is
the most popular, is with us.
"A compliment paid to Mark Twain
is something more than a compliment
to a great man, a great writer and a
great citizen. 1t is a compliment to
the American people, and one that will
come home to them with peculiar graf
~itcation, Mark Twain is the national
author of the United States in a sense
in which We in England at the present
moment have no national author. The
feeling for him among his own people
is like that of the Scotch for Sir Wal
ter eighty years ago, or like that of
our fathers for Charles Dickens. There
is admiration in it, gratitude, pride,

not only for the tragedies and Attic
tions of his life so unconQuerably
borne; not only for his brave and
fiery dashes against tyranny, humbug
and corruption at home and abroad;
but also because his countrymen feel
him to be beyond all other men the
incarnation of the American spirit.
Few men can have seen more of
the world or from a greater diversity
of standpoints. He has travelled once
If not twice, all around it. and from
the miners of the Rockies to the SOW
ereigns of Europe he has encountered
pretty nearly all humanity at close
range. His last tour was one of un.

with which he was connected went
