A Safety Smoke House.

1t Is often the case when building a
fire in the smoke house that the fire
will burn up too high and catch the
meat. sometimes the flames catching

meat is partially cooked or heated to
such an extent that 1t sweats and Don
loses its flavor, becoming strong and
unfit for table use. This may be all
overcome by the use Of an old stove

PROGRESSIVE WYOMING.

Wyoming has a new Corrupt Prac-

for office in or from the state shall
expend more than twenty per cent.
OF one years compensation or salary
in such office; and that in his cam
paign for election he shall not expend
in excess Of twenty per cent. of one

their receipts and disbursements in
connection with the elections. This
