In LARAMIE
Every Claim Is Backed by Local
Testimony.

If the reader wants stronger proof
than the following statement and *
perience of a resident of Larami :,
what can it be?
Jacob Weber, employed at the Lara
mic iron and steel works, 164 west
Clark street, Laramie Wyoming, says:
Some twelve or fourteen years ago
l strained my back and for a number
of days was laid off from work and
finally was obliged to give it up en-
tirely. Last spring l returned to it
and n day a sharp catch took me in
the loins and for a few minutes /
could not move. The pain over my
kidneys became continual and / thought
l would have to lay off. A peighbor
told me about Doan's Kidneys Pills and
advised me to try them. l had my son
gets box at the Laramie Drug company's
store. In two or thres days l could
notice a decided benefit and | kept on
with their use until l had used two
boxes and bys that time, l did not have
a sign OF back ache and the kidney Sc
cretions which had highly colored,
heavy and scalding were restored to
a natural and normal condition. Many
of my fellow workmen can attest for
the personal mention l have made of

to the sheepmen and fockmasters of

Spaugh's Testimony.
In regard to the advantage of hav-
ing wool tested for shrinkage, Mr.. A.
A. Spaugh, Manville, Wyoming, has
given me the privilege of telling that
he received one cent per pound more
for his wool last year than he would
have been able TO get If he had sen a
sample to the experiment station to be
tested. He had the shrinkage report
and knew as much or more about the
shrinkage of his wool than the buyers.
Limited to One Sack.
IF the securing test is to be of any
value to you, you must use the great
est possible carr to get a fair sample.
The larger the sample, the more
chance there will be that it will rep
resent the average of the entire clip.
We will not scour more than one sack
of wool for you this year, but would
advise you to send that much if pos,
sible.

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he GALES all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
c%eptionally good-he wants all his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery. This Is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy write letters to the
manufacturers for publication, that
others similarly ailing may also use it
and obtain relief. Behind every one
Of these letters is a warm hearted
wish OF the writer to be of use to

THE VOYAGE OF THE ANNIE R. LEWIS

A remarkable battle on the part OF a
dozen seamen to keep a big granite-laden
schooner atloat in Boston harbor, when she
was within stones throw of ample deck
ing facilities, was fought all yesterday af-
ternoon and last night aboard the three
master Annie r. Lewis, anchored in Nan
tasket roads. The vessel was towed into
the harbor early i'll the afternoon by the tug
Fred E. Richards, which picked her up at
Rockland.
The Lewis is bound from Stonington, Me-,
for New York. She LETT the Maine port
several weeks ago, but sprang aleak. and
the skipper put into Camden and hired more
men to work the pumps, as his own crew
couldn't keep the water down and he feared
she would founder. He put in here, how
ever, and is determined to reach New York
before unloading his cargo if such thing is
possible. So it's case of all hands to the
pump all the time. She is leaking 1000
strokes an hour.
The schooner is 80 years old and has had
succession of trials since she sailed from
Stonington. She is well filled with cut gran
ite, that is intended for some of New York S
newest sky-scraperS, anG as the contractors
are anxious to get the stone. the skipper
tried to make record in getting it to them.
He is making record ali right. 1t was
suggested yesterday, but not just the sort
he anticipated. SO that's the reason he an
chored in the harbor rather than taking his
cargo out and getting the craft out on the
marine railway The schooner has four
pumps and in excellent working order. In
fact, if they weren't, she probably would
have been under the water long ago.
If she keeps atioat until then the schooner
will leave in tow of the Richards this morn

gave a special program Oh the day of its
regular meeting, Feb. 2Sth, at State head
quarters, $50 Free street. The program was
arranged by Mrs. V. X. Rollins, State Supt

county presidents and others were read by
Mrs. Addie Estes, who recently returned to
Portland from the west. There was music
by Miss l. II. Stickney, soloist, and trio

Spring and Emily Hamilton. Fourteen boys
and girls with wands decked with ribbon,

were 1875 crisp dollar bills, representing as

chance for a disagreement, according to one
of the Jurors.
The attorneys for the respondents imme
diately filed motion for new trial on the
grounds that the verdict was against the

will first have to be written out. The de-
fence has saved number of exceptions.
