EXPLAINS FOG
Unusually Heavy Fog-How 1t Came.

Many people were surprised at the
heavy fog which enveloped Laramie
in it's chilly embraces last night. 1t
seemed that the elements were con
spring against the electric light com
pany-in other words to compel them
to furnish better light.
1t was really amusing to hear the
different opinions as to the cause
Some said it was the steam escaping
from the American auto headed for
Paris; still others thought it was
caused from a hot box on the Laramie
street car system.
The mystery was explained satisfac-
torily this morning by Manager Jones
of the Crystal show. He stated that
the management had put on the noted
pictures of London and hat the man
who had them in charge had been
careless in letting out some of the fog
from the scenes. He wishes to assure
the Laramie people that this will never
occur again and that they still have
enough fog left to make the show
realistic tonight.

USING Freight Engines.

There was a report on the streets
here today that freight engines are to
be used in the passenger service be-
tween Cheyenne and this city, the pas
senger engines being turned here and
sent to Rawlins, but Trainmaster Let's
had not been informed in the matter.
1t was said that the severe strain of
the passenger engines on the long trip
to Rawlins from Cheyenne was partly
the cause of the contemplated change.

SOAKING FEET WILL
cIIRE SICK HEADACHE

This usually arises from acidity or
overlooking the stomach. When it is
not from %overeating all that is neces
sary is to soak the feet in hot water
twenty minutes, drinking at the same
time some of the herb teas such as
%pennyroyal, catnip or mint, etc. Then
get into bed, cover UP warm and keep
up a sweating process for an hour, by
which time relief will have been OBJ
tanned. When food has been taken
which remains in the stomach it is
much the best way to take an emetic.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 25.-L Special.l
AT the meeting of the supervisors of
assessment this afternoon, Judge ellison
of the state tax commission said:
when we look back to the beginning
of the work after the election of super
visors of assessments by the county
boards in 1901 and carefully examine
the fields since that time we feel graft
fed at the progress. 1t has been diff
cult in some counties and the improve
ment has been slow but on the whole,
q commendable advance is apparent and
a much better condition OF assessment
than before your office was created by
the Legislature.
Mr.. Gibson declared that there were
only sixteen members of the supervisors
of assessment at this meeting who We're
present at the first time in 1901. There
were forty-eight hold-overs from 1905
and twenty-three new members. In con-
clusion he said:
THE question has been asked whether
the supervisors Of assessment should be
given greater power than they now pos
sess, such as the right to determine
the value of property for taxes and have
the value they fiX entered upon the as
sessment rolls in place of the amount
found by the assessors when they are
dissatisfied with this officiai'7 figure.
However desirable this might be from
the standpoint of more effective service
in the administration of the tax law it
is very doubtful as to the legality of an
attempt to confer such powers unless
the home rule clause of the cOnstitu-
ton is amended"
