A notable fact about this
Livingstone centennial is that
the great scientific bodies are
sharing in It's observance. Liv-
lngstone was as great a scient-
ist as he was a missionary. His
achievements as an explorer
are a definite contribution to
the worlds knowledge. He was
the first white man to cross
Africa. He discovered Africa's
greatest nature wonder, the
Victoria Falls. He was a dis
coverer, naturalist, a geolog-

Guilty of No Wrongdoing

ALBANY, N. Y. Aug. 13.-This
statement from ex-Judgc -. Cady
Herrick, OF Albany, of Governor sui

revelation OF the governors atten-
tons which appeared today:
Counaels for Governor Sulzer have
no desire to he interviewed, or to
try the NESTS of his case in the news
papers, and have no desire to make
any statements In his behalf, and have
advised the governor to refrain
from making any statement at
the present time, likewise his

defense, not for William Sulzer,

of the State.
After an examination OF Mr.. Sulzer
in relation 10 the transactions dls-

Continued statements that the girls

the executive committee, in contradic-
ton of the evidence given at the In
quiry At the inquiry the very people
who instigated the investigation were
forced to the conviction that their
statements and beliefs were at COM
plete variance with the truth. and the
girls themselves testified that they
were not overworked; that they liked
the open air work. and were even
fond of blowing. Experts testified
that labor in the open fields rather
than the usual feminine occupations,
was the only remedy for the peculiar
mental and physical diseases which
the inmates suffer.

UP TO HIGH
WATEf: MARK

Snow commenced falling in
these diggin's before or about
daylight Wednesday morning and
continued falling all day and till
after nightfaIl, giving us some 4
inches of the beautiful. Fortu-
nately it was characterized by an
abundance of moisture, which it is
thought will put the ground in
fine shape for spring seeding.
Since last week the Old Muddy
has been rising. till Wednesday
evening, when it reached high
water mark, and has since been re-
ceding. This height has several
marks by which to distinguish it;
as, backing up under and past the
bridge over the ravine adjoining
Henry Eidam's residence, getting
up to the fifth step of the stairway
down the river bank opposite Mrs.
l.. divers residence, overfowing
"Lovers Lane" TO depth of two
to three feet, and overfowing the
woodland below Cheyenne Agency,
also the larger portion of Lafferty
island.
This of course was. sufficient to
float the ferryboat ACMaria. 1t
is thought that by tomorrow (Sat. J
the river will have fallen sufic-
iently for her crew to go to work
at making landings, after which
she will commence making regular
trips across the river, under the
command of Captain Frank Smith,
with Mr.. Brock of Cheyenne Ag-
ency as first mate.
Our ''loggers" were considera-
bly, disappointed at the unusually
small amount of logs that have
come down.
During Thursday night the
water fell something like two feet
and is falling at the same rate as
we go to press.
Old timers say that the rise.
from the day in March-21st- when
the ice began to break up, has beer
twelve feet. What an enormous
amount of water to be allowed-tc
afflict other people!
And an almost as great rise is
still to come-in June.
