FINE DISTINCTION AS
REGARDS FIRE DANGER.

The city council has ordered the
marshal to look into the matter of ash
pits about the city SO as to eliminate
the danger from fire from this source,
yet not a word has been heard from
the city authorities regarding the sup
preston of the custom in vogue by
some people Of setting fire to their
rubbish heaps in the public streets, in
back yards and in fact right in the
allies between barns and other frame
buildings. To the uninitiated it would
that this practice is even more
dangerous than the throwing out of
ashes in the yards. Both should be
stopped. 1t is also difficult to see the
justice Of subjecting an entire neigh
borhood to the disagreeable stencil
from a smouldering ash heap
which is permitted to remain in this
condition for three or four days in Or
der to allow the property owner to say
a paltry half dollar that it would cost
to cart the rubbish away and be done
with it.

SPEAK IN FAVOR OF
GARFIELD STREET VIAOUCT.

An informal gathering of citizens at
Willis Jensen's store this morning dis
cussed the crossing of the railroad to
the west side. At that gathering it
was the general opinion that a viaduct
starting on Garfield street, not far
from the Laramie Grocery company's
store, n crossing the yards to the
company's tract at the shops and then
connecting with Garfield street on the
west side, would be the solution of the
problem, as costing less than a subway
on Grand venue. 1t was urged that
the city, the county and the railroad
company could best unite on some such
proposition as this, as effecting a road
way to the country, to the busy section
of the city west of the track and re-
lieving the company of the worry of
the grade crossing at Grand avenue for
the bulk of the traffic.

ARB0R DAY
GOVERNOR DEsIGNATES LAST
FRIDAY IN APRIL FOR THE
PLANTING OF TREES.
ProeIaims That Under Law Day 10 Leg.
cai Holiday and Old, and Young
Should Earnestly Endeavor to Car.
ry Out the Purposes for Which
This Holiday Was Made.

Governor Brooks has issued the fol.
lowing Arbor day proclamation:
Stats Of Wyoming, Executive Depart
ment, Cheyenne, April 2, 1907.
In accordance with the statutes, l
hereby designate Friday, April 26th,
1907. as Arbor day.
Under our law this day is a legal
holiday, and old and young should
earnestly endeavor to carry out the
purposes for which this holiday was
established. The planting of trees AMI
shrubs adds immeasurably to our pros
perity and patriotism. On the lonely
ranch 1t increases the value Of proper.
ty and develops love Of home. In
cities and hamlets it doubles the value
of real estate, and promotes state
pride. Along the highways and about
the schools it adds to the happiness
and contentment Of our children. The
presence Of trees arrests droughts, pro
notes productiveness Of soil, lessons
the extremes of temperature, moder
ates the seventies Of climate and tends
to make seasons equable.
Mild and Profitable Winter.
Wyoming, as a whole, has enjoyed a
mild and profitable winter. Let us
show Ii appreciation by planting
more trees this season than eve be-
fore. Let parents and teachers make
the day an occasion for inspiring the
children with the beauty and worth of
blossom and leaf, and to cultivate with
in the minds of the rising generation
q taste for the beauties and treasures
Of nature.

seal of the state, at the capitol in

The Harden Libel Case.

Berlin, Oct. 20. - DenounciDg the
political and moral corruption which he
declared almost the rule in German court
circles, Lawyer Bernstein demanded re-
ward, not punishment, for Editor Harden
today, as the ,urnalist's due for expos-
ing coDdiditions which threaten the
country's welfare. In defending Harden
against attacks by Gen. Won Moltke,
whom the former accused OF membership
in the knights of the Round Table, "
an organization charged with devotion
no: only to polite, al intrigues of the mos!
dangerous character, but to the most
shocking immoralities, Bernstein deliver
ed an address which made Moltke fairly
writhe 10 bis seat, while the court at
PENDANTS aud spectators listened in al
most awe-stricken silence. Lawyer Won
Gordon followed Bernstein with an ad-
dress repudiating Harden's charges in
20 far, at least, as they concerned Won
Moltke and demanding the editor:
punishment, not only for the injury he
has wrought but on the vindication Of
the counts character.
The taking of testimony in the Won
Moltke- Harden case was stopped abrupt
ly by Justice Kern yesterday afternoon
with the announcement from the bench
that the court had heard enough to sat-
isiy him concerning the character Of
the decision, though no indication was
given concerning the ruling to be made.

Panic on Ferryoat.

New York, Oct. 26.-PasseDgers on
the Etie line ierryboa! Chsutsqua had
a disagreeable experience today and a
disastrous panic was narrowly averted
When the lower decks were swept by the
wash from the Metropolitan line steamer
Yale. A wave three feetIn depth swept
the full length Of the ferry boat. The
Ohautfqus was late, aud for that reason
was run close to the Yale, which leaves a
great wash 10 her wake. The decks of the
ferrybos was crowded when the wave
came aboard. Many persons we're knocked
down and completely drenched. Hardly
a soul on the lower deck escaped being
soaked from the waist down. Instantly
the cry was raised that tbs ferryboat
was sinking, and there was rush for
life preservers. The crew and officers
had their hands full allaying the panic.
To make matters worse, the driveway
of the ferrybost was crowded With teams.
AS the water struck the horses they
reared and plugged and threatened to
dash through the iron gates. When the
ferry fually dOcked there was a panicky
rush by her passengers to the dock.

Struggle With a Negro Burglar.

New York, Oct. 26.-In a death
struggle in The dark with negro burglar,
armed with a razor, DR.. Leopold Weiss,
of 270 west 18th street., fought from
his bedroom to The basement OF bis
home early today and fell exbause cd
only after hs had wrested the weapon
from the intruder and used it upon him
with telling effect,
DR.. Weiss acts as ansncisl agent for
an Eugli.h actor. He drew the actors
money out of the Kuickerbocker Trust
Company during the recent run, and
believes the negro who, he says, be recog-
nized as former porter, saw him there.
DR.. Weiss was awakened by some one
at his bureau. He sprang out of bed
aud seized tie negro. They clinched
and went tumbling about the room, cut
into the hall and down The steps. On
the first aoor they fought desperately,
the negro using the razor constantly.
Then they rolled down another flight in
to the basement. Weiss grasped the
rszor and slashed the brute. As the
struggle stopped moment he turned on
the electric lights snd says be then rec
ognizsd the negro. The burglar then
sprsng upon him, snatching the razor
from bis hand and escaped. The police
found trail of blood leading to back
fence and q pool Of blood 10 an adjoining
lot. Weiss sustained more than dozen
serious wounds, and is 10 a critical con-
dition from loss of blood.

Killed on Underground Railway


London, Oct. 26.-F,ve persons we're
killed and seven Injured today by q
crash on the Metropolitan Underground
Railway. Ths fog prevented the
driver Of the moving train from seeing
but few feet before him and interfered
seriously with the rescuers' work. Both
trains we're crowded with suburbanites
on their way to work.
Nearly every passenger 10 both trains
was hurled to the floor and, in addition
TO those seriously hurt, scores we're
badly cut and bruised.
The Two trains we're bound 10 the
same direction and the frat one had
juss stopped when it was struck
from behind.
The driver of the second train was
evidently closer to the first than he had
supposed and also appears to have mis-
calculated the distance to the station, az
be was running at full speed instead Of
having slowed down, as be would have
done had he known be was approaching
the platform.
Ia The darkness he failed to realiz:
the danger until within eight or ten feel
of the collision aud, though he applied
the brakes, it was then too late to even
check the trains speed. Guards in the
cars who escspad tried to stop the pas.
seugers in their panic to get out oil the
cars and many we're hurt 10 this way.
Those able to do so clamored furiously
over the debris, aud made their way to
The street, 20 that it is possible there
may have been sufferers as yet unao-
counted for.
