Cheyenne. Wyo., Jan. 15--Upon the
convening of the two houses Of the
Wyoming legislature this afternoon,
there was no indication that the two
republican house members who
flocked with the democrats yesterday
to perfect the organization of the
house had any intentions of reating
from the stand they took at the first
session.
Republican leaders have been un-
able to get either Of them to di-
vulge their purposes and both have
published statements in which they
Justify their actions upon the ground
Of breaking up machine rule"
Senator F. E. Warren, whose pros
pect of reelection is ieopardized by
the present situation, is not in the
city, as the vote for senator does not
take place until January 2S.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Bonds submitted
for the release of Frank M Ryan, F.
H. Houlihan and William Schupe, SEN
fenced to terms in prison for con-
spiraGy in the Illegal transportation Of
lynamite, were disapproved by District
Attorney Charles w. Miller of Indiana,
polls. in the United States circuit
court of appeals here today. Bonds
Of $4,000 for the release Of Charles
N. Beum of Minneapolis weer approv-
ed by the court.
District Attorney Miller declared
that the property scheduled for the

did not aggregate more than $500,
while 100000 should have been sehed-
uled Attorneys for the Chicago La
Dor leaders said they would make an
other effort to. obtain securities
Later the court declined to approve
a bond for $4,000 offered for the re-
lease of William 3. Reddin of Milwau-
keee because of the insuffciency of
the surety. The court also declined
to issue writ of supersedeas admit
ting to bail Herbert Hockin of In.
dianapolis, who was sentenced to six
years in the federal prison at Leaven-
worth, Kansas.
Hockin was the only convicted labor
man for whom a writ of supersedeas
was not asked when the matter was
to the court week ago.
Hockin already has confessed his
suit and there is no necessity in the
case for 4 writ of supersedeas pend
ing the decision of the appeal" said
District Attorney Miller.
Attorneys for the convicted labor
leader said they had bonds ready for
Wilford b. Brown and William ]. Me.
Cain Of Kansas City, but they were
not presented in court. District Attor-
Dey Miller left for Washington later
in the day to confer with United
States Attorney General Wickersham
in regard to the labor cases. He will
return to Chicago next Monday when
the question Of admitting the other
leaders to bail will again be taken up
by the court.

The year 1872 brought increased
business to fh office Of County
Treasurer and olleetor Eugenio Ro-
nero, according to the statement OF
his deputy, Robert L M. Ross. The
receipts from All sources during the
year were sol 944ls, while the dis.

oeipts for 1911 were $196,S5S.S4. while

The surplus 10 1911 was $6,316.O7,
while in 1879 the surplus was s4-

over from ANNUAL collections after an

sums are small for the past two years
and indicate tls sound Judgment and

On December 81, 1911. the number

was 1920. while for the year ending
December 81, 1912, the number of tax
receipts issued for taxes of 1912, was
IT'S. an increase of S55. The county
treasurer accounts for such increase
in 1912 tax receipts issued over the
period of 1911 by the
gradual cutting up of the larger land

FEARS INDUSTRIES RUIN
STATES FREE TRADE in SUGAR
WOULD CAUSE AMERICAN
REVENUE TO DROP OFF.

Washington, Jan 15.-The Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company went on
record at the outset of todays tariff
hearing in favor Of a reduced tariff
upon sugar, retention Of the small
differential duty upon refined sugar,
If protection is to be accorded to
any industry" anu the continuance
Of the present color standard as the
most practical distinction between
raw and refined sugars for customs
house classifications.
1t oppoaed the abolition Of all duty
upon sugar on the ground that it
would destroy at once one Of the larg-
est sources of revenue.
The American company's position
was presented by Edwin F. Atkins
vice president and acting head Of the
who was accompanied by
several other officials. Mr.. Atkins
contended that abolition Of all duty
on all sugar would cause the ternnina
ton Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty
under which Cuban sugars get a pre-
ferential rate Of 20 per cent, and
Cuba gives preferential rates of 20
to 40 per cent upon goods coming
from the United States.
He also declared that free sugar
would open the United States mar
kets to the importation of refined
beet sugars from Europe on the sarle
-erms as raw sugars in competition
With domestic refined.
Free sugars, while the present I
is maintained, he said,
would drop prices here so low as to
lestroy the Louisiana industry. The
'eet sugar industry, particularly east
# the Mississippi river, would de-
'ress Porto Rico and Philippine sug-
srs far below their production cost
md make Hawaiian production un-
profitable, thus largely curtailing our
resent sources of supply"

cAsTRo,s FATE UNDECIDED.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The fate of
General cipriano Castros attempt to
enter the United States is now large
ly in the hands of Secretary Nagel,
who today received a report from the
special board of inquiry at New
York.
It is understood that the board did
rot announce It's conclusions as to
the admissibility of Castro, but sub
mitted the record for Secretary
Nagel's perusal before determining
whether Castro should be deported or
admitted.
The board must make a decision
and If it authorizes Castro's admis-
sion it would be beyond the power
of Secretary Nagel to consider the
case unless some, member Of the
board of inquiry should appeal to
him.

Where 1t Hurts

We do not know how much money is
sent out of this town to buy things
that could be bought here ut home,
We know there is some.
The important thing is whether the
amount that is being sent away Is less
Or more, is decreasing or increasing.
II the perceutatge OF such money is
decreasing, very we'll. II is increas.
ing the town is in bad way.
II 1t WAS per cent year before last
and 81 per cent last year, and is likely
to be 8 per cent this year, it Is easy TO
see which way this town is going.
II that kind Of trading is increasing,
the value of property in this town is
decreasing. Business property is worth
less. The homes of this town are
worth less.
There are people who are saving
cents in price and losing dollars in
quality, and incidentally decreasing
the value uf their property and theiI
labor.
Some people realize that mail orde,
buying hurts the local merchant, but
they say there is no reason why they
should worry about him. Certainly
not. What they ought to worry abou
Is themselves

Senate File No. ~

This bill, Senator Hummel informs
US, has become law. 1t may prove q
very important measure to Red Cloud,
II the city puts itself in an attitude to
realize its advantages.
The bill provides for state aid to
high schools Of the proper equipment
for the conduct Of courses in agricul.
ture. manual training and home
economics, to the extent of half the
expense Of conducting such depart.
meDt, not TO exceed, however, the sum
Of $3.50 per year.
Not more than thirty high schools
shall receive this aid during the years
1913 and 1914.
To avail ourselves Of this advantage,
this district must incur All additional
expenditure OF perhaps twenty dollars
per month, because we are already ex.
pending nearly two hundred dollars
month In this direction. We must
also have five acre tract OF agricul.
tural land within two miles Of the
school house upon which agricultural
experiments may be carried on.
Professor Moritz has received en-.
coursginR replies as to the probability
Of Red Clouds selection as one Of these
thirty schools.
Should the city schools meet the re.
quirements Of the law and win the
selection Of the state superintendent,
It need not be long ere the schools
take high rank in these courses,
sufficient to increase the high school
attendance to four or Eve hundred,
and make this city the centre Of n
practical education for large extent
Of territory. In these days Of auto.
mobiles, when score or two Of miles
Is but trifiing distance, with such
facilities offered to the youth Of the
county and the adjacent ones, there
will be a stimulus to the trade and
growth Of the city that we can no,
now estimate.
Every boy or girl who comes her.
for his education brings his parent.
for trade and business.
In dreaming Of railways that do no,
come, we have overlooked the drawing
power Of the educational facilitie,
which are in our power to furnish.
For the first time in the history o.
the district we have superintendent
who has exhibited marked ability il

example by forsaking luxurious
apartments in the "millionaires'
clubhouse" at Harvard, dismiss
ing his valet and taking up
quarters in one of the most an
cient dormitories in the college,
up three flights of stairs and no
elevator. He shows by this that
there is still virility in the

sons of other enormously rich
men the sense to do as young
Morgan has done they would
gain in both public and self-re-

Does One Lose Friends?

Never worry about a lost friend
that is, one who ceases to be
friendly. There is no such
thing. You never lose friend,
you only find out that he is not
your friend. If he is a friend to
your youth he will flee on the
coming of age and wrinkles. If
he is friend to your success
he will flee at the approach OF
failure. If he is a friend to your
full purse the flattening Of that
will show his heels. If he is a
friend to any influence you may
have, you will lose him when
you need him most. But he
never was your fiend. His 60
ing is only an opportunity for
you to rectify your judgment of
him. The friends you have can
never be many-some three or
six strong, loyal men or women
and the rest are congenial ac-
uuaintances, that is all. Friends
are the limbs Of the soul-we
walk by the reason of them,
breathe by aid of them, work in
the great strength of them.
And we don't often think of
them as friends, they are as
hands and feet and heart and
brains-we know we have them,
and that is enough for life.-Ex.
