Electric Cannon a Wonder.

Government experiments in London
have confirmed the claims made for an
electrict cannon that will throw a pro-
jectile 300 miles. 1t will revolution
ice naval construction, and instead OF
being a question of armor plate will
now be one Of speed in fighting yes
sells. 1t can be controlled with great
est ease, and Is cheaper than existing
artillery. The many claims made for
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters during the
past IS years have all been confirmed
not once but hundreds of times-and If
you are willing to be convinced 1ust
try one bottle when your appetite
Is poor. stomach sour, head aches, and
you feel "all ill.," 1t will tone the en-
tire system and make you feel hike q
new being. It. aiso prevents dyspep-
STA. indigestion, costiveness, nervous.
ness, insomnia, kidney ills and mala-
ria fever and ague. Refuse any sub.

The following from the Cheyenne

the two organizations working togeth-

Wyoming grand lodge Of the Independ-

to conduct a Wyoming publicity bureau
in Denver. at the Oxford hotel, during
the coming sovereign grand lodge ses-

Fellows will attend the meeting the
state should receive valuable advertis-

Joint excursion to the motorists of Lar

OF inspecting the road and arousing
sentiment for a better highway be.
tween the two cities.
Beautiful Scenery.
There is an increasing number of
autos in both towns, and with better
roads more people would doubtless
make the trip between Laramie and
Cheyenne, as the scenery throughout
the trip is beautiful, and would also
be of interest to the numerous trav-
elers who come here from Denver, but
who, knowing nothing of the roads,
go no farther than Cheyenne.

MILK INSPECTORS

AFTER DAlRNMEN.
The Denver city milk inspectors are
hot on the trail Of a few fellows who
still insist upon using preservaline In
the milk they sell, says the Denver
Field and Farm. The p~reservative
principle in this stun is borax or its
acid. The substance should never be
taken into the system. for borax is
eliminated by the kidneys entailing in.
creased work on these organs. Kid
ney troubles are SO prevalent now
adays that this boraxed milk is a dan
gerous drink. The use OF preservaline
leads to carelessness on the part of the
dairyman. When he finds that by
putting in a drug he can keep the
milk sweet to the taste for a longer
time he takes less pains in washing
cans or pans and In cooling or airing
the milk. This is why p%reservaline
has been called the dirty milkman's
makeshift.

FIRE CHIEF
UNDER MAYOR
PORTLAND COUNCIL CANNOT IS.
SUE INSTRUCTIONS TO FIRE
CHIEF CAMPBELL ALARM
SYSTEMS AROUSE CONTENTION

Portland. Oct. 16.-Mayor Lane
yesterday afternoon quietly notified
the council that it had no right to
give orders to the chief of the fire
department requesting him to dc
anything. as that official received his
orders direct from the mayor and the
executive board. This gentle re-
minder came in the discussion of a
resolution presented to the council
by Councilman Armand, instructing
Chief Campbell to connect the fire
alarm boxes of the National Auto
matte Fire Alarm company with the
Underground wires of the fire depart
ment.
Councilman Armand explained
that the company was preparing a
petition for franchise and that it
would be presented in the near fu-
lure. He also said THAI the boxes of
the company were being left out of
the underground fire alarm system
or the city by the chief of the fire
department because he did not con-
slider that the corporation had any
right to the use of the city's wires
to perfect its system. He believed
the resolution of the council grant
ing the permit would be sufficient to
secure action from the fire chief.
Councilmen Bennett and Kellaher
opposed the resolution on the ground
teat the city officials had no right to
permit private corporation to use
the fire alarm wires Ct he city for
private gain. Councilman Bennett
the right of the council
ia even grant franchise to the cor
roration on such proposition.

'FAINTS DURING
PERFORMANCE
MISS MELVILLE. WHO IMPERSO.
MATES CHARACTER OF LOTA,
IN "PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER"
OVERCOME.

! Just at the critical moment last
night when the beautiful transfer
nation occurs, where Lota turns
| from statue of marble into a living
woman, when the audience sat spell
! bound at this marvellous work of the
great Magician Keller and the last
show of the night was being given
to large crowd, there was flash
OF light and the stage and audience
were left in complete darkness while
the curtain was dropped, rudely
awakening the audience from their
mysterious revelry.
The manager stepped before the
something wrong with the lights:
that all would be well in moment
and the performance co<'luded.
There was slight intermission of
some five minutes, and the curtain
was again rung up on the interest
ing il usion, showing Lota in a half
state Of vigorous womanhood and
cold marble. Hardly had the per-
! Torrance started when the curtain
! was again rung down and the audi
ehce d .smissed.
Inquiry developed the fact that
MISS Melville, the pretty young
woman who portrays the character
of Lota, had twice tainted while pos
| ing for the illusion, and was COM
PEELED to leave the stage and give un
for the night, after hard struggle
on her part to conclude the last
show. The reporter called this morn
ing at her private stateroom in the
managers car and found her in the
best of spirits, looking as though she
, had never seen a sick half-hour in
her life.
II have been working very hard"
explained Miss Melville, giving an
average of IA shows a day last week
al Spokane, and was not well when
| dressed for the show last night.
You know, there is no one who can
take my place in this ir:tance, as
the manager only allows my assist
ant and himself to enter the cabinet
| am feeling fine this morning in
spite of the clouds and will be in
good shape for tonight. l regret dis
] appointing those who came to see
me at the very last show, but it was
unavoidable"
Manager Tyler of the Parker
shows reports this morning the most
phenomenal business he has ever
known in his career, taking, Of
course, the prevailing conditions into
consideration.
The rain and mud did not deter
the crowds from wading through it
to see the shows, and the manage
ment feels indeed flattered to know
the attractions have pleased so as to
draw such crowds under almost pro-
| hibitive conditions.
The town is full of people today,
and the record breaking crowd of
, the week will see the Pike attrac-
tions tonight
! At the animal show last night the
!, seats were sold out at each perform
ance long before the doors opened
for the next show, while the "Out-
laws seemed to attract more than
usual, and it is evident the people
are talking about this splendid little
show.
! The curious ones are seeing the
midget show, and those who have
never seen baby incubator will find
IL of lifelong interest.
The Broadway Bellies, with their
pretty girls and dancing marvels, are
getting good share of the business,
and the riding devices are weighed
down at each turn of the big ma
chimes
