EARLY THIS MORNING.

A fire at the home Of e. w. Bate
man, on Sixth street. between Univer-
sity avenue and Fremont street, at
6: 80 this morning, did damage believed
not to exceed $50, with plenty of in

believed to have started from a defec-
tive wiring, as no fire has been In the
stoves for some time. Mrs. Bateman
Is out Of the city and Mr.. Bateman
goes home to sleep when he is in the
city. The fire department responded
promptly after the alarm reached the
engine house. and the chemical en-
CINE was able to prevent further loss.

SHERIDkN'S CLAIMS.

The latest issue OF the Sheridan
Post sets up the claim that Sheridan
Is the second city in the state, hat 1t
outrauks Laramie in population. This
is what 1t says:
Sheridan now has a population Of
eight thousand two hundred and fifty.
three people-S,253.
This is the figure arrived at by the
Polk directory people, who recently
finished the censu OF the city and
have carefully revised the m The
manager of the company, in a letter
to the Post, says: You may feel
perfectly sure of these figures; from
years OF experience In the directory
business we are able to correctly ar
rive at the population of n city after
our men have made the canvass, and II
anything the figures herewith will be
under rather than over The Polk
people have been at this business for
years, and have men thoroughly train
ed to the work. Their system Of COM
pilation precludes the possibility of
names being duplicated, and the cen
sus of Sheridan may be relied upon
This fact establishes beyond ques.
ton Sheridan's right to be called the
second city Of the state. Its nearest
rival is Laramie, with 1901 people
when the state census was taken. 1t
Is a well known fact that Laramie
has had no p%erceptible increase since
the state ensus was taken. The next
nearest competitor Is Rock Springs
with 5,343. When 1t is considered that
at the time the state census was taken
in 1905, Sheridan was given a popula-
ton Of only 1887, the present figures
show q remarkable increase-almost
doubling the population Of 1905. As
the county has kept pace with the
city, 1t Is estimated rnar Snerldan coun-
ty now has a population approximating
10000 people.
Watch the Coal City grow"
Laramie will have to have more con-
elusive evidence than this before 1t
will admit that it Is outelassed by the
beautiful and progressive metropolis
Of the north. The statement that lit
is a well known fac. that Laramie
has had no perceptible increase since
the state census was TAKEN" does not
accord with the facts. Since 1905 ,hI
rolling mill, employing approximately
200 men and giving support TO several
hundred people, has been opened for
business; the force at the tie-preserv.
ing works has been more than doubled;
the force at the plaster works has. been
greatly increased; the.new plaster mill
has been constructed and has many
men in its; employ; the stone quarries
S Of the city are employing many
men more than In 1905 the passenger
division point so far as the engineers
n flremen are concerned has been
re-established at Laramie, making a
difference of several families; the mum,
Der of men at the Union Pacific shops
and upon the road has been material
ly increased and the general progress
of the country and city has added ma
terially to Laramie's population. Our
population has certainly Increased by
more than 1000 since 1905.
During the past two years "a large
number OF fine residences and many
of smaller Dimensions have been con
structed and still there is not a va.
cant house Of any consequence to be
had In the city.
Laramie will not yield to Sheridan
until some surer test Is applied than
that presented by the Post.

There are two things that will con.
tribute largely to the breaking up OF
l~ynching. One is to develop a public sen
timent against lynching strong enough
to convict and properly punish those
who take part in such outrages; the
other is for the negroes themselves to
stop harboring criminals of their race
and cooperate with the authorities in
apprehending and Furnishing them. II
both of these reforms were properly
carried out the number oflynchings in
this country would very largely de-
crease, and a long step would be taken
towards abolishing this very bad form
of anarchy, which encourages more
than anything else a disrespect and
disregard for the laws.

Besides the usual addresses and re-
ports OF officers, the programme pro-
vides for a number of papers dealing
with the business of societies.. Judging
from their titles, they will give rise to
considerable discussion, for some of
them are on subjects that are open to
grave differences OF opinion.
Some of the controversial subjects OF
papers to be read are: Full paid

rowers," by Ex-Governor j. @. A.

A MATTER OF SIMPLE JUSTICE.
Charlotte Observer.

AZ
The Observer trusts that the under
lying basis of its position on the rate
cases cannot have been misunderstood.
Prejudice against the Federal courts
can hardly be ascribed to a paper
which freely conceded at the outset that
if the railroads were unwise enough to
fight the State upon a matter of such
doubtful right-this without reference
to the undeniable fact that they do the
States people ten times more wrong
on freight rates than any which could
have threatened them from passenger
rate reduction-their proper
was to those courts. We merely warn
ed them that they were acting un-
wisely; and we gave this warning
as a friend who had stood firmly
by them in a fight which would
have been almost entirely success
full but for their own ~pig-headed-
ness in refusing any reasonable COM
promise. It was only when the South
ern Railway and the Atlantic Coast
Line persuaded Judge Pritchard to hit
the State in the face with an injunction
that we joined in condemning their
course. To enjoin a sovereign State at
all is a very grave matter; to enjoin it
as a robber bent upon Selling property
without due process of law is graver
still. We do not deny that there have
existed and may again exist extreme
oea cation SO nrOnor.
we do emphatically deny that North
Carolina has done anything which
should expose her to such a humilia-
ton. The 2 IA CEN fl at rate represents
something of a compromise, though
with the railroads standing apart. It
is from a quarter to a half cent below
the rates favored by The Observer as
really liberal, and we have expressed
in very decided terms our opinion of
the methods used to secure it's passage,
but he must be blind as the railroads
themselves who can honestly term it
grossly and manifestly unfair. In
point of fact, it can hardly be below
the average for the country at large.
every section, and in q large number
of States they have gone into actual
effect.
We submit hat the North Carolina
2 IA cent law was entitled to a trial
and 1hat the State was entitled to have
it tried. This proposition is as clear to
US as anything under heaven.

OUR INLAND WATERWAYS.

A writer in "The Forum discuss
ing some of the considerations lnvol-
we'd in the use of u internal water
ways for commerce, says:
'The increasing congestion of rail-
way traffic in the United States is
causing attention to be turned again
to the value of internal waterways,and
herein lies another fundamental prin-
ciple in the problem of transport. Wa
terways are not necessarily competi-
tors of railways; there is ample room
for both; put the railway cannot be
merchandise as economically as the
slower waterway, be it canal or river
One of the most important engineering
questions in the United States today
is that which has recently g SUBJ
mitted to the inland waterways COM
aration of a complete plan for the util-
ization of the navigable rivers of the
country. Pascal's definition of a
stream as "a road which travels'shows
that the principle of continuity in va
ter transport was long ago appreciated,
and thus we may yet see an extensive
return to the canal and the canalized
river as an important department of
Transport"
It is true that transportation by wa
ter has its drawbacks in the way of
delay. At the same time there is a
large proportion Of the heavy products
in which q reasonable delay in delivery
would result, in no serious inconven-
fence, and besides, orders could often
be given for shipments ahead, making
allowance for the delay. The rail-
roads have not kept up with thegrowth
of the country generally. Shipping
has increased out of all proportion to
b increased facilities of the railroads
to handle it and it is doubtful it in the
next twenty-five years they will be
able to keep pace with this increase.
The result is there is a great deal of in
convenience and loss by delay and the
incapacity Of the railroads to handle
b traffic. Here is where the value
of inland waterways in more
than ever before, and the time is COM
ing when these waterways will have to
be used more extensively tor trans
portation than at present.

A Good Complexion.

Every young person should be inn
pressed with the truth that a good
complexion depends upon pure blood
and a healthy condition of the stom-
ach. It cannot be secured by the use
of outward applications. Hoods
Sarsaparilla gives good complexion
and a fair skin because it makes the
blood rich and pure and tones and
regulates the stomach. Pimples,
blackheads and all similar eruptions
which so disfgure the face are
promptly removed by Hoods Sarsa-
parilla which thoroughly eradicates
IL foul taints from the blood.
