Basket Ball Game and Dance.

DoohCt DoAk OoLuo 0nO DohSOs
Saturday night the Laramie team
of basket ball players and the
Saratoga team met in conflict in
the opera house here, and put on
a game that was we'll worth the
price to those who attended. Sara
toga winning by a score of 81 to
10. The Laramie team was handi-
capped both by not having two of
their players and by being much
out weighed by the local team.
After the game a big dance was
given for the entertainment of the
visitors, and everyone enjoyed
themselves. The Eastern Star
served a supper on the stage at
midnight. The Saratoga boys say
that the Laramie boys are the best
bunch of spots that have ever
come ints this town, and every one
were nice, clean fellows and good
all round players. We hope that
this is not the last we will see oil
them, and there will probably be
another good game of two staged
before the season closes.

Big Jack Rabbit Hunt.

About seventeen men went out
on Jack creek Sunday morning to
rid the ranches in that section of
Jack Rabbits which were eat
ing up considerable feed from the
stock. The men all lined up at
Jack creek lane aud started up the
creek in a long line spread out
taking in the valley, and they
hadn't gone far before the Jacks
began to run. Well, run they did,
in every direction of the compass.
And the cannonading started with
a roar that lasted until they came
into camp at loon just below the
Blydenburgh ranch.
After dinner they started part
up the creek and the rest took a
back track. When the final round
up was made 1OS jacks we're piled
up that would never bother the
ranches again. There were easily
300 rabbits seen and probably 81
killed that we're not brought in.
The stories that were told by each
of the party we're interesting as
we'll as humorous.
There we're any number of rab-

Gone to Rest.

Friday morning Mrs. Rebecca
E. Meason, another of the old pio-
neer ladies of this valley, passed
away. Mrs. Meason was laid to
rest besides her husband and dau-
ghter, who preceded her, in the
cemetery east of town. The services
were held at the ranch Sunday at
2 o'clock p. M, and from there the
friends and relatives followed to
the cemetery, where the final SER
vices were held.
Rebecca Ella Ryan was born in
Burlington, Iowa, on the l4th of
December, 1840. She was united
in marriage to William e. Meason

Mrs. Meason moved with her
husband from Burlington, Iowa,
to Fort Scott, Kan where they
resided for a number of years,
moving from there to Wyoming in
1879, where she has resided ever
since. She was a member of the
Baptist church.
Mrs. Meason was one of the early
pioneers women of this state and
braved this country from the days
of danger up to the present state
of civilization and development,
She was a quiet, unassuming little
women, always a good mother and
wife, being simple in her lasts and
a great lover of home. Since the
death of her husband, several
years ago, she has been in bad
health from time to time until her
last sickness, when she contracted
the grippe which eventually wore
her out at her age and which
worked on her entire system final
ly breaking it down. She buried
not only her husband but a sister
and a brother who died within the
past four years here in this valley
The sympathy of every one goei
out to those remainging to mourn
her passing.

The following letter will be of
interest to our readers and the
people Of this valley. This letter

plish what they did, as it was a
close fight all the time. Which
is probably correct, when you take
all things into consideration. The
republicans were up against a
pretty hard row to accomplish any
thing when there seemed to be
a compact with the democratic
members and. the Governor.
The members worked night and
day both in and out of session
in order to keep all of the body
together for the work for better.
ment of the state.
Mr.. Tilton was disappointed
with a good deal of the efforts
made owing to the fact that with
the conditions all against them
they could not acc omplish more
1t was impossible to pass a single
measure over the head of the Gov
ernor as it took two-thirds major
ity and they could not get that, as
the democrats would not come in
for anything no matter of how
much interest it was to the state
He is of the opinion that the
next body will be made up a little
different as the people have had
enough of the class of work done
by the democratic members in this
session, to keep them at home in
the future if they expect to get
anything done at the next session..

Somewhere above the sunlit hills
Are snowy fields of asphodel;
Somewhere, forever more at peace,
The shining hosts triumphant dwell.
Somewhere the crystal waters CLEAN
In endless sunshine in the fields
Somewhere the twilight never falls
And night to day forever yields.
Somewhere the lilies fill the air,
And stately palms waive in the breeze;
Somewhere beneath the cloudless skies,
Are gardens filled with wondrous trees.
Somewhere the birds sing evermore,
And tideless rivers gently flow
Somewhere are fields that never fade,
Where trees of life forever grow.
Somewhere are eyes that know not tears,
And hearts forever free from pain;
Somewhere the weary are at rest,
And aged souls are young again.
Somewhere the forms bent meath life's load
Are Standing now erect aud free
Somewhere the feet that climbed and bled
Have passed their cross. crowned Calvary.
Somewhere the ties that bind us here
More closely knit for aye endure,
Somewhere the love that g~lori6es
Is purified and made secure.
Somewhere, dear friend, beyond the stars,
Secure forever more from pain,
Somewhere, when life's long page is run,
We two once more shall meet again.

mo matters handled down at Chey.
anne, from Representative Tilton
Hon. w. E. Tilton came back
from Cheyenne Sunday on his road
home to the ranch. He stopped
off here until Tuesday to attend to
some business matters aud we had
a very interesting talk with him
relative to the session just closed
Mr.. Tilton said that rs the Gov.
erpor had seen fit to veto a good
many measures and was opposed
to several appropriations on the
general appropriation bill, the
House sent word to him that they
we're ready to adjourn and waited
his pleasure in the matter. The
House was adjourned until he
could come TO some detinate con-
clusion on the measure, and stood
in adjournment for two hours when
the Governor came across with
approval of the appropriations,
which vas Immediately taken up
and passed and then they came to
adjournment, sine die. Thus clos
ing one of the stormest sessions of
the Wyoming legislatures.
Mr.. Tilton stated that it was
nearly impossible to accomplish
anything of great Importance as
the balance of power was 80 close
as to make it necessary for each
member to be in his seat continu-
Ously from the opening to adjourn
ment each day in order to even
hold their own.
The bill for cattle inspection,
which was one of Mr.. Tilton's
measures, was supported by the
House by a nearly unanimous vote;
but the Senate. being controlled
by big cattle interests, killed the
bill, paying no regards to petitions
nor the will of the small cattle in
terests. W. q. Irvine, member of
the Senate, and a former member
Der of the Stock Association, was
strong against it and did all in
his power to down Home Inspec-
ton.
The Governor vetoed the bill
for the Worland Institute, after
looking it over in detail, for the
reason that Mr.. Gates, the author
of the bill, opposed the Immigra-
ton bill. All the republicans in
the Legislature opposed the I'm
migration bill for the reaso that
the money appropriated by the
Eleventh Legislature for immi-
grafton has been used for cam
paign purposes; and those seeking
homes have been taken to only one
part of the state, to the lands about
Wheatlands, in which lands the
Governor has personal interests.
This has been done to the utter
exclusion of all other develop
ment schemes.
he said that nearly every day
there was a bill introduced carry
ing an appropriation for the I'm
migration Commission in some
manner or other, but each time it
was met and killed promptly. In
a great many cases it was covered
up until it took considerable fgur-
ing to find out where it came in.
However, there was none gotten
through, SO that the state was
saved another experience like the
last two years.
IL was impossible to get requisi-
ZION papers for Manson of Sweet
water county, although there was
evidence to prove plainly that he
was the man wanted on twenty
indictments in Virginia.
Mr. Tilton praised the work OF
representative Sullivan, who was
Tue tioor leader in the House and
stated there could be few superior
"en In that position. Mr.. Sulli
van was more than fair with the
n'u'ocrass in that body and gave
