LANDS
Committee Of Three University
REGENTS Look Over
Property.

DR.. II. l.. Stevens and A. c..
Jones, of Laramie, members of the
Board of University Regents, came
up from Laramie Saturday after
noon aud were met at Walcott by
j. F. Crawford, of this place. The
three regents had been appointed
a committee to examine and report
on the fourteen sections of land
belonging to the University, stu
ate near Pass creek, along the line
of the s. e. f.. road.
The committee viewed the land
from the train. 1t lies on the
mesa just west of Pass creek gent
ly sloping toward that stream. The
land vas selected for the Univer-
sity about % years ago by F. 0.
Sawin, and as the State Land
Board has been unable to rent it,
the question Of relinquishing it
back to the government and tax
ing up other lands that will bring
in a revenue, is now before the Un-
iversity trustees, and their action
will depend upon the report of
this committee.
As the lands are isolated from
any water supply, the waters in
Pass creek being largely overlap
p%ropriated, the best policy seems
to be to relinquish these lands
back to the government. Hon. Il.
p. Fuller, public land commission
er, who was up Saturday morning
returning by the afternoon train,
and who is perfectly familiar with
the situation, says that he a &C.
cure the setting aside of land in
small tracts here and there thru
out the state, that will bring in a
rental of at least 20 cents an acre..
This land will be as valuable as
that relinquished, and the Univer-
sity will be getting a revenue from
it yearly. When it is known that
very little revenue has been deriv-
ed from the lands as they now
stand, the reason for the change
will be very apparent.

EAGLES DANCE
Splendid Dance Given Friday
Evening by Saratoga
Aerie.

The dance given by the F. o. E.
No. lib, of this place in Jensen
hall last Friday night, was the
most successful effort ever made
by that order. The hall was most
beautifully decorated and present
ed a fine appearance. There was
a large crowd present and the hall
was full of enthusiastic merry
makers who spent almost the en-
tire night in dancing.
The supper was served on the
stage by the Women of Wood
craft and was equal to any pub
lie refreshment ever offered by
that body of women who have be-
come famed for their excellent
suppers. The Eagles will about
break even SO far as expenses are
concerned, a long step ahead of ev-
cry other dance given by them,
but the Women of Woodcraft
came out with about $50 clear of
all expenses. Two handsome prizes
for the ladies', were provided. AS
each woman entered the ball room
she was given a ticket. During
the evening, after the crowd as
sembled, the duplicate tickets were
put in a hat and two we're drawn
out. The lucky numbers we're
held by Miss Jessie Moore, who
had No. 80, and Mrs. A. w. Aims
worth, who held No. IS. Miss
Moore took the hand painted china
plate, and the hand painted china
tea set went to Mrs. Ainsworth.
A great many people came in
from the country for the ball and
everyone claims it was n of tho
most delightful occasions ever had
in the hall.

Town Files Reser
VOir Site on
Lake.
Water Sufficient for Unlimited
SuDply Secured to
Saratota.

Mayor G. G. Hickok is in re-
ceipt of an approved permit, No.
1883. for the "South Spring Greek
Lake Reservoir" which is to sup
ply the town of Saratoga with
water for domestic Use and for ir-
rigstion. The permit is for a dam
at the outlet of the lake mention
ed which is to be of the following
dimensions: Length on top, 55S
feet; width on top, ten feet; width
on bottom, ITO feet. This dam
will furnish a reservoir of 364 ac-
res, with a maximum depth of %
feet. This will furnish a water
supply sufficient for all purposes
for a city OF 10000 inhabitants,
and the dam can be raised at very
small expense sufficiently to in
crease the supply to an almost un-
limited amount, as the source OF
supply is from several large
springs in the lake.
This filing has been made in ord
er to supply the town with water
Of the very best that is to be had.
The dam will be built this COM
ing summer, and work will be
prosecuted as convenient. The
lake being situated at an altitude
Of about 5000 feet, the water can
be let out and brought down the
mountain in the bed OF South
Spring creek to any desired spot,
where a second reservoir a be
made and the water piped into the
town at small cost.

A. w. Hopkins, one of the Fort
Collins, Colo, party of capitalists
who purchased the Stanley Broth
ers ranch on Jack creek, arrived
here yesterday and will remain to
take charge of the property and
manage it for the company.
The company plans to make the
ranch, which contains nearly 1000
acres of well irrigated and cult
vatrd land, the nucleus of a beet
sugar colony, Doubtless more
land will lie purchased and added
to it in the near future. AS the
company is a strong one financial

movement grow out of this pur-
chase.

That Vital Statistic Law.

Editor of the Sun:
At the last session of the Legis-
lature a law was passed providing
for the registration of births and
deaths. The bill was introduced
in the Senate (Senate File No. 23)
and passed the Senate without
amendment. While in the House,
out of pure malice, a member OF
the committee to which the bill
was referred, struck out the clause
which provided that the attending
physician receive 25 cents for each
return of a birth or a death.
When the bill was returned to
the Senate it was too late in the
session to again return it to the
House, and the bill was accepte d
as amended. The State Board of
health did not think it best to try
to enforce the law until it could he
restored to it's original form, which
will no doubt be done at the next
session of the legislature.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

After July 4th all flags made for the
use of the government will contain for
ty-six stars in the field or union, to
conform in number to the states. The
additional star follows the admission
of Oklahoma to the family of states.
In further effort to restore tranquil

of the recent riots in Persia, the shah
has proclaimed general amnesty, ac-
cording to a cablegram received by
General Morteza, the Persian minister.
The antiquated methods of keeping
records relating to public lands are to
be superseded by the most approved
modern business system. When the
changes go into effect the district land
offices and the general land office in
Washington will be able to identify
any application or entry more readily
than under the old system. All per-
sons rendering moneys to the receivers
at the land offices will in the future be
given a receipt for such moneys.
1t is expected that resolution grant
ing Mrs. Grover Cleveland an annual
$4,000 pension will be passed by Con-

widows enjoying the special bounty of
the American people. Mrs. Garfield
has received a pension of $1,000 each
year since 1882. Mrs. Harrison. the
only other Presidents widow now liv-
ing, las never been pensioned.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,

TIE
General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

JUDGE PARkER'S RESOLUTIONS
ON cLEvELAND'S DEATH
THREATEN TROUBLE.
REFLECT ON BRYAN
A BATTLE IMMINENT BETWEEN
TWO ELEMENTS OF DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY.

Denver. - The Associated Press
Thursday night sent out the following
report from this city:
Charging that Alton B. Parker's res
olution of tribute to the memory of the
late eX-President Grover Cleveland is
clever move on the part of enemies
of William Jennings Bryan to infuse
factional feeling into the Democratic
National convention, friends of the Ne
braskan today determined to offer a
resolution of a character designed not
to raise controverted political issues.
Through control of the temporary or
ganization of the convention, the Bry-
an following expects to have its resolu-
tion brought to the attention of the
delegates Immediately after the speech
of the temporary chairman has been
delivered. In that event the Parker
resolution would have to be offered as
substitute, if submitted at all, and
the Bryan men declare that the New
York delegation would thereby be
placed in the attitude of attempting,
under the guise of eulogizing great
party leader, to create strife and dis
sension and to make harmony impossi-
BILE
All Democrats, without regard to
factional affiliations, applaud the sug-
gestion coming from New York that
the National convention should en-
brace the first opportunity of honoring
the memory of Mr.. Cleveland, but most
of those who have expressed them
selves on the subject are of the opin-
ion that the resolutions adopted should
not contain anything over which there
could be the slightest difference of
opinion.
The New York resolution, which was
made public last night, is denounced
by such Bryan leaders as Mayor James
c. Dahlmann of Omaha and Judge NJ.
E. Wade of Iowa, the Iowa member of
the national committee from that state.
They declare that it's adoption would
be direct slap at Bryan and insist
that in giving it out for publication
the New York delegation intended to
disparage the Nebraska candidate. The
portions of the resolution which par
ticularly aroused the ire of the friends
OF Mr.. Bryan relate to Mr.. Cleveland's
record on the question of maintaining
the integrity of the courts and finance,
the paragraphs being as follows:
He respected the integrity of our
courts and so insisted upon strict en-
forcement of the law that every hon
est man or interest might be protected
and all offenders punished without
fear or favor
He maintained the public credit
and honor, stood firm as a rock in de-
fense of sound principles of finance,
and resisted dangerous economic doc
trines and practices left by the Repub-
lican party as a heritage of our Leo
pie"
1t was said today by Mayor Dahl
man that these expressions are but
thinly veiled attacks upor Mr.. Bryan
and his well known attitude on the
question of adopting an anti-injunc-
tion plank, and his position in 1896
and 1900 on the money question.
The publication of the Parker reso-
luton was a bombshell exploding in
the midst of the Bryan followers and
steps were at once taken by members
OF the committee on convention ar
rangements to head off its introduc.
tion in the convention.

Educators Coming to Colorado.

Cleveland, O.-Denver is the choice
OF the National Educational Associa.
ton for its next annual convention.
The strong fight made by the Colorado
delegates, combined with Denvers
prestige as the meeting place of the
Democratic National convention. and
the fame of Colorados scenery and
climate, aroused the enthusiasm of the
teachers, and the formal action of the
board OF directors Thursday, in com.
mendlng the Colorado city, was merely
an official ratification of. the unani-
nous preference expressed by the dele.
gates and was received with enthus-
lasm. Final action will not be taken
until the next session of the board in
december, but the selection of Denver
is assured by Thursdays report.
Among the "also rams" were Atlantic
City, Chicago and Seattle.
