A COLLEGE ATHLETE
MARRIED IN WYOMING.

Mr.. Clyde Blair, a we'll known ath-
lete of the University of Chicago, and
remembered in Omaha as the guest OF
Mr.. Jerome Magee, surprised his
friends by being very quietly married
to Miss Anna Hough, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. G.. A. Hough of 456S Lake
avenue, Chicago, last Friday, in Wyo-
ming, says the Omaha Bee. The scene
of the wedding was a lonely western
town, the railroad station nearest the
ranch of which Mr.. Blair has been
manager since his graduation. An
elaborate wedding had been planned
to take place in Chicago early in Sep.
TENDER. The bridesmaids were to
have been sorority sisters of Phi Bets
Delta and other arrangements had
been made in proportion. A few weeks
ago Miss Hough announced that she
and her father were going to visit Mr.
Blair. and the wedding comes as a
surprise to all. Mr.. Blair was a class
mate of Mr.. James Magee and they
were together on the track team at the
University of Chicago. During the
last winter Mr.. Magee entertained Mr..
Blair at his home.

Humane Society and Sheep Growers
The Leader is reliably informed that
the Investigations Of the Humane so
ciety in the treatment of sheep espec-
tally at shearing time, have disclosed
many cases of inhumanity and brutal
ity, every case proving a financial loss
to the owner of the flock.
To the credit of the sheepgrowers it
can be safely asserted that 80 per cent
of their number, not only from a bust
ness standpoint, but from pure motives
of humanity, are anxious to reform
the vicious system which has made the
wranglers and shearers, the real bosses
Of the shearing pens. Heretofore the
owners OF the flocks have been inter
ested spectators who are supposed to
put up their money and keep quiet.

A Good Result.

Under the operation Of the new pure
food laws, baking powders now gener
ally bear on the labels a statement O.
the ingredients. This is of utmost i'm
p%ortance because of the harmful in
gradients used in many cases.
Royal Baking powder is known t.
be the only baking powder made o.
royal grape cream of tartar, and thi.
no doubt explains it's greatly increas
ed sale here.
Careful housekeepers are taking ad
vantage of the protection which the
laws afford, and are examining all thu
reading matter on the back Of the a
bel before adopting any brand for ust
in the home.
When in place of the words cream Of
tartar the words "alum," aluminium
or phosphate of lime" appear among
the ingredients, they heed the warn
ing and avoid baking powders contain

Just before going into her everlasting

kind OF imposition.
AS IA matter of fact he is almost help
less, and until this season, had no
chance to get any redress.
To the Humane society and their
agent, Mr.. Cough, the sheepmen of Wy
oming owe a debt of gratitude. He
has struck a long neglected trail and
has exposed the wrongs of a system
of neglect, carelessness, mistreatment
and bad management which is costing
the sheepmen of Wyoming many thou
sands Of dollars.
The sheepgrowers OF the state could
afford to pay the whole annual expense
OF the Humane society, as a matter OF
business If they could have the assist
ance Of its agents at every shearing
pen and we believe they will cooper
ate with the society in its further ef'
forts to project and save the lives OF
these animals and prosecute the most
vicious Offenders.
The society has no funds worthy OF
the name to work with. 1t depends
upon people OF kind n humane feel
ings to assist in keeping it up. We be
lieve the sheepmen will contribute tc
maintain this work n we hope all
the good citizens will lend a helping

important convention will be held in
that city September 81 inclusive next,
The document recites the purposes of

OF delegates by organized bodies OF all
kinds, and announces special railway
rates over all railway lines to Califor-

The purposes Of the congress are de-
clared to be Save the forests. store

homes on the land" and all who are
interested In these subjects or in any
of them are invited to participate In
the deliberations and thereby contrib
ute to a wise direction Of national
policies and development of practical
methods Of conserving and developing
the great natural Of the coun.
try.
The personnel of the congress, as
stated in the call, includes the presi-
LEM and vice president of the United
States, members of the cabinet, II
tors and representatives, governors Of
states and territories, members of
state and territorial legislatures and
state irrigation, forestry and other

Wyoming has always taken high
rank at these meetings and will doubt.
less do so again. Governor Brooks
has appointed a delegation of able
representative citizens and they will
doubtless be supported by a number OF
delegates from counties and cities. WY.
oming is right in the van of irrigation
work and is able to give sound argu'
ment and good advice in a convention
of this nature.
1t is stated upon good authority that
it is the purpose Of many to make an
attempt to again thresh over the ad-
ministration's land policy n that the
leasing question will be n of more
than ordinary interest. Action upon
matters foreign to the purpose of the
convention can have little weight with
congress or with public opinion. The
convention will do we'll to cOnfine 1t,
