QUEEN WILHELMINA PROUD OF COUNTRY People Are Sober And Obey
 The Laws SHE MARRIED FOR LOVE
Matches Are Encouraged by the Happy Young Queen. Gardner in Hornets
 Nest
BY MARQUIS DE cAsrELLANe. .

BY MARQUIS DE CASTELLANE. . Paris, October 9.-Since the birth of the baby Princess Juliana, the future of Hol- land is more than ever secured During my recent holiday I had the honor of being presented to Her Majesty, Queen Wilhelmina. The beautiful young Queen of Holland is very proud of her small kingdom Perhaps even more so than Queen Elizabeth and Catherine of Rus sia were of their vast domains.
 I think Queen Wilhelmina has reason to love her picturesque little country, with it's dykes and canals and quaintly dressed people. She spoke with simple pride of their gentle manners and called my attention to the fact that there was almost no drunkenness at all in Holland, and very few robberies or murders. She told me the young people become engaged to marry at the age of twenty, and they are permitted absolute freedom in their friendship and intercourse. The men hold the honor of the women very high, and they marry invariable for love and not for money or position.
 Wilhelmina is a very romantic young Queen. She herself married for love. 'To set the example," she said, smiling. It Is quite common in Holland to see
  daily newspapers:
 Married according to the laws
 of nature, M. Het Vandervett
 to Mile. Wilhelmina Van Lowe.
 Contract of marriage made in
 presence of Notary Public Hans
 Vanderlook.
 And this is all. Just two young peo- pie love each other and express their desire to become husband and wife. Ladies of the highest Dutch nobility oftimes have no more ceremony than the above.
 And Dutch marriages are proverbiaily happy.
 The romantic Queen encourages such unions. She believes love should be the supreme factor in the union of the sexes, and so 1t is the fashion to marry for love in Holland. The early settlers of New York may be proud of Holland, the cradle of their race.

More than three hundred lineal

Instructed to erect a substantial

verdict Of guiIty but adds to the
long chain Of circumstances which 50
many have found hard to reconcile
with the sheriff's plea Of inno-
cence. and seems itself incredible.
From the expressions heard by
reason Of 80 many apparently in
terminating circumstances. public
opinion was divided on the uues-
|tion of his guilt in about the same
proportion as the two petit juries
before d verdict was reached, re-
gardless Of whether the parties had
been former supporters OF not.
On the whole. it has been one of
the most remarkable cases ever tried
in the State. and the conclusion is
irresistible that either Sheriff
Greer has been the innocent victim
of most extraordinary combina-
tion Of circumstances, or he is the
-
greatest hypocrite and moral repro-
bate in the confines Of Lincoln
county.
Since the last jury which consid
cred the case, after long and care
full deliberation, decided to give
him the benefit Of every doubt and
declared him not guilty. The Leader
hopes every citizen Of the county
will accept that verdict in good
faith and likewise give him the
full benefit of every doubt. The
sheriff's former unsullied rep-
utation, the high character and
good name Of his family and rela-
tives and the possibility that after
all, all the credible testimony
against him was merely circum-
stantial and might have been de-
ceiving, have a right to plead for
this. If he was innocent. it is even
less than justice to him that he be.
accorded this. If the moral repro-
bate and whited sepulchre he has
been pictured, during the two and 1
half years Of his official tenure re-
manning, be sure his sins viii find
him out, without the aid Of d
searchlight or grand jury.
To Sheriff Greer The Leader
would say, there is yet ample time
and opportunity for you to redeem
your good name al an official and
d man ANY good can live
down q lie Or slander who will hon
estly and bravely try, and there IS
yet time for you to vindicate your
moral character and prove yourself
one 0f the best officials the county
ever had. Here's The Leaders

RANGE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE
No Heavy Losses Reported by Either
the sheep or Cattle
Raiaers.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 15.-(Special,)-
Saturday nights storm was of short dura-
ton and so far as known no damage was
done. The weather remains cold, but as
a high wind carried the snow off of the
range live stock will have no difficulty in
getting plenty Of feed.
While conditions in the eastern portion
of the Red desert. which is occupied by
the sheep of Carbon county, are not as
satisfactory as the flockmasters could wish,
stlll conditions in the western portion.
where the Sweetwater county flocks range,
are in the main satisfactory, and sheep
are doing well. Considerable feeding is
beirg done in the eastern portion, where
snow covers the ground and where in
mary sections a thick crust obtains on
the snow. but 10 date the losses are not
above normal, and with anything like
favorable conditions from now on sheepmen
will not complain.
In northeast Wyoming conditions are i'm
proving daily. Snow fell In that section
in October and has since covered almost
all of tile range and sheep grazing has
been extremely difficult. although no
losses hav been reported. The lip and
leg liberation is yielding to treatment n
tie sheep owners are in better spirits.
This disease, which is not of a specific
nature, also prevails in Converse and Ma
trona counties, and recent reports state
that the malady is also yielding to treat
ment there. The range conditions have
been unfsvorable for treating the disease
ard favorable for its spread, but condi-
lions are improving.
Cattlemen report that while this has been
a Icing. hard winter no serious losses to
date have been reported. Feeding is in
progress OF almost every ranch in the
state, and this applies to sheep as we'll
as cattle, but the stockmen nave plenty
of hay. for in many localities they have
stacks that have been in place for two and
three years.
While the winter has been a severe one,
although there have been no real blizzards,
stock in general is in good condition and
with the supply of hay and grain on hand
there should be no severe losses, even
though the severity OF the weather should
continue through until spring.
