Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has no superior for coughs, colds and croup, and the fact that it is pleasant to take and contains nothing in any way injurious has made it favorite with mothers. Mr.W. s. Pelham, a merchant of Kirksville, Iowa, says: "E'or more than twenty years Cham berlain's Cough Remedy has been my leading remedy for all throat troubles. It is especially successful in cases of croup. Children like it and my GUS toners who have used it will not take any other." For sale by J. T. Sanders.

 what To Do.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy. fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne cessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need medicine you should have the best.

INVITE A TEST
The Laramie Drug Company Asks Ca
tarrh Sufferers to Try Hyomei on
Their Guarantee.

The Laramie Drug company invite
all who suffer from any form Of ca
tarrhal troubles to get a Hyomei out
fit from them with then absolute guar
antee that If it does not give perfect
satisfaction. the money will be re
funded upon request.
There is no other treatment for ca
tarrh that in any way resembles Hyo'
mel. none that gives such quick curas
tive results and lasting satisfaction
no medicine that can take its place
none that can be sold on a guarantee
like this, to refund the money unless
it cures.
Catarrh is a germ disease and can be
cured only by breathing Hyomei. &c
that the most remote air cells in the
nose, throat and lungs are reached by
its antiseptic healing powers. In this
way all catarrhal germs are killed. the
irritated mucous membrane is healed
and catarrh is driven from the sys

FOR LIGHT.

Cheyenne and Rawlins are both e.
gagged in a titanic struggle with their
respective light companies. Rawlias
is preparing to invite some other com'
pany to come IN and do business, while
~Cheyenne's mayor has ordered the
light company there to TAX it's poles
md wires from the streets of the city.
1t is not at all likely that either city
will be able to accomplish all that IL
has set out to do, but that they will
be able to fight matters through to be-
ter service Is a certainty. The trou-
BILE appears to be too much water in
the stock and a keen desire on the
part of the corporations to make In.
terest on the over-capitalization.
At some future time 1t is not too
much to dream that Rawlins, Laramie
and Cheyenne Will be lighted from a
central power plant operated by the
waters of the Big Laramie. The same
power, too, might operate the Union
Pacific from Cheyenne to Rawlins. 1t
would be a wise thing, and certainly
economical. Electric power is now
transmitted more than 100 miles and
there is enough power going to waste

roads as might take it into their heads

LAYING A CEMENT WALK.
How the Farmer Can Do the Work for
Himself.

Farmers requiring walks about their
homes will find nothing 80 practical
as cement walks-hygienic, because
non-absorbent; beautiful. because uni
form and artistic in finish; durable.
because harder than stone; and at the
same time cheaper than sawed stone
or any other good sidewalk material.
In many cities ordinances require that
In the better quarters nothing but ce-
ment walks can be laid.
What has been found true In the
city will prove equally true In the
country. Like everything else, the
quality of the walk will depend large
ly on the skill used in the selection
Of materials and laying the walk.
The farmer who can find sand and
gravel near. which he "a often get
for the hauling. and who could do his
own work at some not over busy time.
would be at no money outlay for the
walk but the cost Of cement, which
would not exceed IN cents per square

all the men employed there are need,

human endurance. hence there will be-
none of them laid off. They would be
glad in some instances If they could
get a layoff. in order that they might
rest.
II has been found by railroads that
construction work is vastly more e.
pensiye when carried on in the winter
season, hence all that can possibly be
left over till the summe season is put
of. The cutoff from Carr to Borie Is
not a real necessity, nor is the double
tracking, and so these improvements
go over till next spring.
In all human probability, 1t will take
some time for the inanciers of New
York TO bring order out of the chaos
that has been wrought there by the
gamblers, but when order is entirely
established and construction business
resumed there will unquestionably be

busy one, although the extremely high
prices may be scaled down along the
line. A temporary halt in the mud
