BUCKING HORSE
TOO MUCH FOR TAFT

HOT SPRINGS, Va. Aug. 13.-WiI-
liam Fl. Taft, Republican nominee for
president, was unsaddled today just af-
ter he had mounted a horse for a ride.
The ex-seeretary was uniniured by his
fall, which was not a bad one. He i'm
mediately sprang to his feet and sur
prised all of those who witnessed the
accident by calling for a new horse.
No amount of argument would induce
the nominee to attempt TO mount the
animal that had thrown him. After a
short time another horse was secured
and the big man from Ohio rode away
apparently contented.

HOW IS YOUR STOMACH
Easy Way to Strengthen II and
Get Well.

A good digestive system, one that
acts so that you do not know that you
have a stomach, is Gods birthright to
every man-to every woman.
II digestion is weak, If food turns in
to gas, If you suffer after eating, If
you are sleepless, nervous and out OF
sorts-then the stomach is diseased
and prompt action should be taken.
w. A. Ennis, a well-known builder
in Syracuse, tells an easy way to
strengthen the stomach and get well
when he writes: "Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets have done more for me in one
week than all the doctors the two
years | was under their care. Thanks
to Mona, / a work once more, the
first time in over a year."
1t is an easy thing to strengthen
the stomach and cure indigestion by
using Mona. Get a 50-cent box from
the Eggleston Drug company with its
guarantee to refund the money unless
the remedy does all that is claimed for
1t.

OUGHT TO CHANGE BACK.

The open fishing all the year round
has been tried for several years now
and The Republican has heard many
adverse criticisms. The opponents OF
this policy say that the streams are
being depleted; that there Is no fish
ing during the summer season as there
was before the law was changed; that
pot-fishermen cut holes in the ice and
take them with grab hooks and i'm
provised spears; that the sport will
o o be such that no outsider will
care to come to our state for the ,pur-
pose of angling.
The brook trout spawn in the fall
and the rainbow and native trout
spawn in the spring, During these
seasons the streams should be closed
to fishermen, and surely no one who
loves the sport OF fishing would care
to fish in the winter. The old rule If
five months open and seven months
closed was about right, leaving May,
june July, August and September
open. This plan operates to give the
fish an opportunity to propagate and
replenish the streams with small fry
The matter is worthy of the serious
consideration of those who delight in
the sport of angling, as well as all who
are fond of a good mess of trout.

ALFALFA.

According TO the report of the hon.
orable secretary of agriculture the al.
fdlfa crop last year was worth $780,
OO0, DOC. In commenting upon this for
g plant the secretary says:
1t is a chemical laboratory in which
nitrogen is taken from the air, a soil
improver of the highest value. AS a
f~iesh-forming feed for growing stock
n as a milk and egg producer, it is
unexcelled by any plant of large pro-
duction. He tells where it grows sue
cessfully and where it fails. If he will
stop to think he will know that it will
grow almost everywhere except where
there is a clay subsoil near the sur.
face. There the sour water, made stag,
nant by the clay, winter-kill the plant
The secretary justly ascribes the great
increases noted above to the efforts of
the department OF agriculture and 20
the experiment stations established by
1t. He believes the annual increase
in the value of farm products because
OF this work has been over $3.50 ,O0O,-
OOO."
Alfalfa is destined to bring the Lara.
ME plains lands up to several times
their present value. 1t is the r that
must go before most of the other crops
1t enriches the land and prepares it for
either wheat, potatoes or sugar beets
Give alfalfa a chance and it will make
the %ranchmen and farmers of this val.
ley rich. Combined with corn, It is
the ideal feed for lambs and Laramie
a get as good a rate upon corn as
Fort Collins. With the soil enriched

terial from the feeding per good
sugar lands will come and factories
will follow The great arid areas of
the west are destined to become the
sugar lands of the world. Colorado
now stands first among the states in
sugar production, and this fact has
brought her irrigated lands up to a
tremendously high valuation. Lands
in the vicinity of Greeley and Fort
Collins have in some instances sold ae
high as four hundred dollars per acre.
Alfalfa is the crop that will bring
more wealth TO this valley than any
other.
In the estimation of the secretary
of agriculture. corn is the most valu-
able crop IN the world. Four-nfths OF
the worlds production is raised in
America. Last year this country pro-
duced more than two and one-half bill
lion basheis, valued 1t 1850, 900, 600.

The figures are almost too great for
the human mind to grasp.
STATE PRESS

A Democratic View
The Thermopolis Independent, a
democratic paper. says:
THE removal of President Tisdel
from the head office of the State Uni
versity is attracting more attention,
at the hands of the state press, at the
present time, than the nomination and
election OF a new president OF the Unit
ed states. If Mr.. Tisdels conduct at
the university was deemed, by the
BOARD, as sufficient cause for his re-
moval II was up to them to do their
duty, and 1t is very likely that this
board can see the deficiencies better
than the newspapers. The president
OF a university, when 1t comes to get
ting fired. is no better than the devil
in a country newspaper office. If he
deserved firing let him take his med
icine, but II he didn't there are plenty
more jobs he can get and the chances
are that he will fare better than he
will by gaining notoriety through the
newspapers, and more, it is a cinch
that the people would rather read a
news article than this slush. A little
more of Taft and Bryan, the automo-
bile race, the long distance horse race,
the Interstate fair, only let the new
man at the university conduct affairs
of that institution until he needs GUST
ing, then give him the boot and get
another"

dred Yards Thrown Back Without
neutrality-suspicious. Lincoln Was
Interested in Similar Invention.

Newport, r. |. April 1.-THE United
States navy is now supplies with a steel
net which can resist any attack from
torpedoes that may be directed against
~battleships while in action. The Ell
iciency OF the nets was proved in Mar
ragansett bay by a number Of naval
officers and the seamen gunners under
instruction at the torpedo station.
Torpedo Proves Useless.
One Of the torpedo nets which are
being made for the navy was held by
two launches and the torpedo boat
Morris, running at full speed, fired
within eight hundred yard of the net
a Whitehead torpedo running at a
speed of thirty knots. AS the torpedo
struck the net full force it glanced
backward, showing that the construc-
ton of the net is powerful enough TO
resist such attacks. The nets will be
served to %battleships first and then to
other vessels in service.
Lincoln Was Interested.
Curiously enough, this is one of the
few inventions in which Abraham Lin
coin was interested. He planned to
have a wire net suspended all around
the ship to guard it, not only against
the crude torpedoes of fifty years ago,
but against harbor mines in time OF
war, and rocks in time of peace. The
mechanism was thought too unwieldy
and nothing was ever done with it, but
now, just forty-four years after mis-
death, the navy department announces
the complete success of the device In
repelling torpedoes a hundred times
more dangerous than those Of civil
war days.

Governor Brooks is making rapid
strides toward a non-partisan board
for the state university. Mrs. Stone
of 'Uinta county is a democrat: Hon,
j, w. Rogers, democrat, of Crook coun-
ty has been appointed to succeed Mr..
Aber. democrat, at Sheridan, who re-
signed. and Hon. NJ. r. Johnston, prom
inent democrat and mayor of Wheat
land, will succeed Miss Harriet Knight
of Laramie county.
If men like Mr.. Rogers and Mr..
Johnson, both heavyweights in more
ways than one, are not able to ade-
quately represent the minority party
on the board of trustees, aided by an
intelligent woman like Mrs. Stone, we
don't know who can.
Governor Brooks Is meeting the sit
uation just as promptly as he can.
And If the legislature does it's share In
reducing the number of trustees TO
seven and abolishing the executive
committee in Laramie, and the trus'
tees succeed in finding a strong mar
for president, the institution should
grow as rapidly as our comparatively
small population Notwithstanding
