beg space in the columns Of
your paper for the purpose of let
ting the people who may read it,
know something about one of the
candidates for the nomination of
District Judge upon the Republi-
can ticket.
l refer to Mr.. Cassius M. Eby,
whom I have known for a number
of years intimately, both as a man
and as alawyer. MI. Eby came
to Laramie several years ago, and
formed a partnership with 81. V.
s. Groesbeck, which partnership
continued until Judge Groesbeck
went east last fall, for his health,
and which will be resumed upon
his return. During the whole time
Mr.. Eby has been with us in AL
bany county, he has been very ac-
lively engaged in his profession,
and has had a large and varied ex-
perience, trying many cases, both
civil and criminal. He is a law
yer of clear analysis of the law,
with the ability Of application of
legal principles to the facts in the
case, thus making him one of the
safest councillors in our county.
He is a hard student, going into
every case submitted to him with
a thoroughness which insures a
perfect understanding of both the
law and the facts. He possesses a
vigorous mind and body and is a
strong advocate before a Jury.
After his joining in the law busi
nes with Judge Groesbeck he did
practically all of the court work
besides attending closely to his
part of the Office duties. During
all of his legal career, 1 have new
81 heard the slightest censure or
criticism of his treatment of his
clients, nor of any underhanded
or dishonorable methods used by
him. Absolutely fair and frank,
no client has ever had any grounds
to complain of being sold out or
double-crossed in any way, a GEN.
sure which we so often hear charg-
ed against members of the legal
profession. Simple in his habits
and honest in all his dealing with
men, of social temperament and
easily approached by all, he never
refuses to listen to the humblest
as we'll as the more well-to-do in
life.
MI. Ely is a public spirited
man, taking a deep and active in
terest in all questions of a public
nature, alert to the welfare of the
state and county, his time is ever
given to assisting in promoting
any proposition which he believes
will make for the betterment of
the people. Honest and impartial
his advice is often sought by all
who seek to bring about new con-
ditions that may make life easier
and happier; yet, not one who
takes up with every fad or plan
put forth by the dreamer nor en-
dorses it just because it may be
new.
AS stated before. having known
Mr.. Eby SO many years, l consid-
er he possesses every characters
tic which goes to make up an
ideal Judge; i. e., a clear and able
lawyer, a hard student, an honest
and earnest man, patient, analyti-
cal and impartial, the Republican
party will make no mistake ifthey
nominate him for District Judge,
Aug. 18th. A good campaigner,
his name will add strength to the
ticket. while his election in No
vember, I sincerely believe would
be insured.
l have written thus at length,
as l believe no mistake should be
made in choosing a man for the
important position of Jadge Of
our District Court. 1 am,
Most respectfully,

The Cloak Room.
Washington, Aug. 10.-The sur
est barometer of political senti.
ment in the nation is the cloak
room talk in the House of Repre-
sentatives. The House has two
"cloak-rooms," Democratic and
Republican. 1t is in these rooms
things are said freely which could
not be safely voiced on the floor
of the House. In these rooms,
Congressman gather and exchange
political condolences. Their ex-
pressions are free and uncolored
by political expediency. In short,
they represent the thought of the
"folks back home"
Leaks from the Democratic
cloak-room indicate a general be-
lief among congressman that few
Democrats will be elected from
the Northwest in the coming cam
paign. The reason for this agreed
on among Democratic Congress-
men (but not for publication, of
course) is the almost complete
abandonment by the Wilson ad-
miuistration of the interests and
industries of the Northwest.
Stock Report.
Kansas City, Aug. 10-Cattle
closed last week at the highest
point of the year, having regained
all the losses of the first of the
week, and more, stock cattle and
feeders included. The supply to-
day is 1000 head, and sales are
strong to Is higher. All the mar
kets are lightly supplied, and real
beef scarcity is being uncovered.
New high prices we're realized on
various grades of cattle today.
Prime Missouri fed branded wes-
terms selling at the top, $l0,25,
and other sales al 1910 and 10.15.
Wintered cattle from Greenwood
county, Kan, sold up to $40,
highest this season, and cattle
wintered on wheat fields in wes-
tern Kansas, and grazed in the
flint hills sold at 500 to S.65. The
top steers today weighed 1850 av-
erage, and steers with weight are
best sellers, as packers wants beef.
In the quarantine division 80 car
loads arrived, and sold actively at
strong to 10 higher prices. Top
was 100, and bulk of the cattle
were middle class Oklahoma gras-
sers at 6.l5 to 7.25. Shipments
of stockers and feeders to the
country last week were $500 head
as compared with $4,000 head
same week last August, when
drouth cattle were running. The
impression exists among buyers
that present prices are as low as
they will be this year, stock steers
largely at 6.75 to IT'S, feeders TOO
to 7.75, a few choice stockers and
some high grade Aeshy feeders at
800 and a little more.

The Nantucket's decks were crowded
with survivors. Doctors had been
sent on tugs to meet her and there
were also aboar United States local
steamboat inspectors as we'll as law
ycrs representing both steamship COM
panes. These had gone on tugs and
boarded the Nantucket as she came
into Hampton Roads.

The Official Account.
Assistant General Manager E. e.
Palcn Of the Old Dominion Steamship
company tonight gave the Asso-
ciatcd Press the following statement:
"The Monroe left Norfolk at 7:40
and ran into a light fog when outside
Of the capes, and was proceeding
cautiously on her route to New oYrk,
blowing fog whistle every minute
by an automatic time clock.
'She passed two vessels, stopping
in each case when she heard their sig
nails.
"When about half way between Cape
Charles lightship and the Winter
Quarter lightship, the lockout heard
the fog whistle Of the Nantucket off
her starboard bow. She stopped and
blew two whistles, which were re-
sponded to by the Nantucket. She
again blew two whistles, which were
not responded to, and Immediately
thereafter the crash came.
Fog Very Heavy.
"Thc Nantucket was not visible eX
cept Immediately before the collision,
the fog being heavy near the water,
but light above that
'Thc Monroe was struck on the
starboard side, about onc-third the
distance from her bow, the Nantuck-
ct penetrated the Monroe something
like one-third Of her widat, making
the sinking of the Monroe newt
able.
Capt. Johnson. who had been in
the pilot house Tor several hours, I'M
mcdiately gave notice to the steward
to awaken all the passengers, though
the passengers were at that time rush
ing out Of their staterooms. They we're
told to come at once to the boat deck

Hague Rules Govern U. S.

No action has yet been taken by the
State Department with regard to the
placing of mines in the North Sea by the
Germans and the announced intention of
the British to retaliate by similar meas

the opinion that at present there is moth

down by The Hague conventions with
regard TO mines have been violated. ,
So menacing do officials here considef
the mines understood to have been placed
in the North Sea that they consider that
all American and other neutral ships can
do is to keep out OF those waters alto

is considered as good proof that she eX-

for shipping in the highest degree.
No detailed Information has been re-
ceived here regarding the mines used by
either Germany or Great Britain. 1t is
supposed by naval officers here that they
are automatic contact mines-that Is.
mines which explode when struck by a
vessel. Such mines, they say, are usually
held at a depth Of from fifteen to twenty
feet below the surface Of the water by a
certain amount of reserve buoyancy.
They are charged with varying amounts
of high explosives. sometimes mines of
this type containing as much as 500
pounds of explosive.
Under The Hague conventions, rIines
CT this character are supposed to be so
constructed that they will become harm
less in case they break away from theI-
moorings. Without any evidence 10 the

the mines in the Nor.l Sea are thus cor

NEUTRALITY OF HOLLAND THREATENED BY
MASSTNG OF GERMANS ALONG FRONTIER

The Belgians. when possible, concealed
themselves in thickets or fields, and cap
tured a considerable number of invaders.
One Belgian lancer, named sogaerts,
deserves especial mention. His habit is
to sally forth, lance in poise. and dash
forward against q Uhlan, whom he gen
orally kills or wounds, whereupon the
remainder give themselves up. In this
way he has taken fourteen prisoners,
wounded several Uhlans. and killed three
without suffering the slightest injury.
Already airships Of different combatants
float gracefully into range Of the Brus-
sells population, but at such height that
one can only guess at the nationality OF
each.
The authorities are warning the public
neither to fear nor attack the Uhlans.
Anxiety respecting Hollands neutrality
Is not yet wholly dispelled. Nobody
doubts the firm resolve OF the Dutch
government TO maintain It rights to hold
aloof from war. but certain misgiving
are entertained as to the adequacy Of
the troops stationed in the district
where violation Of territory by Germany
is most probable.
One Belgian journalist narrates the
death Of the reigning Prince William Of
Lippe ana MS son as IOIO"Ss
"on one Of the streets Of Seraing,
about 100 German soldiers threw them
selves with terrific fury upon q COM
pany of Belgians, but suddenly their
commanding officer. Prince Wilhelm OF
Lippe, fell MORALLY wounded and i'm
mediately after with his son was killed.
The Germans retreated and shortly after
ward the bodies OF two princes were
demanded of the foe. They were de-
posted Professionally in a vault Of the
SerainE Cemetery. The diamond rings
which the :eigning prince wore on his
fingers and his daintily wrought sword
were handed over to the police Of Seraing
by a boy scout"

The reserve field armies. which are be-

nored in these estimates.
The natural line Of the German ad-
vance. according to the view of British
military men. Is toward Namur and Yer
dun, along the valley of the Meuse.
1t is reported that 5000 German troops
under Gen. Won PritZelwitZ have already
invested Namur. at the juncture of the
Mouse and SambTe rivers.
British military men believe that the
present campaign Of the magnificent
army of the North aims at immediate
entry into France. while the fortifca-
tons at Liege and Namur are left under
siege, to be bombarded continuously IN
til they are reduced or until the Belgians
surrender from lack Of ammunition and
food.

Each of these war ''theaters" is hem

fortifications, classified according to the
nation by which they are owned, are
situated as follows:
FRANCE.
Following the war Of 1870, France con-
structed several groups OF permanent
Qualifications, parallel to and two days
march from the frontier. the Moselle
group extending from Belfort to Epinal.
the Mouse group between Toul and YER
dun, another group from Epinal TO Toul
and a group extending between LougNgy
and Montmedy.
In addition to these forts, the French
border In the south is closed by fortiflca-
tons at Langres. Bessncon and Dion.
Besides these. France has ample fortifica'
tions at Briancon, Lille, Bayonne, Brest.
DonaI and Grenoble.
Should France be beaten back from the
frontier. she still would have defenses at
Paris. punkirk, Lorient, Cherbourg and
elsewhere.
GERMANY.
Germany has concentrated most Of her
fortifcations along the Rhine. There she
has fortified Neu Breisach, MainE, Cob
lentz, .Germersheim and Strassburg. In
Alssce the Germans have the fortified
camp Of Moleshein. In Lorraine they
have the fortresses of Metz and Diden-
hofen.
Or the east, against Russia. Germany
has the fortresses OF Posen, Koenigsburg.
Breslau and others. Other fortresses in
clude Cologne. Tim, Magdeburs. Span
dau, Kustrin, KIel. Danzig and Neisse.
RUSSIA.
Russia has a line of Notifications at
Warsaw, Rowna, Litowsky. Grodno and
Kqwno, and score or more Of fortified
military camps along her frontier.
A secondary line extends through Wilma.
Riga, witebsk, smolensk and Kew. with
Helsingfors and St Petersburg.
AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
The main Austrian frontier fortified
tons are at Cracow. Przemysl, Budapest
and Ssmlin. Also Vienna and other in
terror cities are strongly fortified.
ENGLAND.

HARVESTER TRUST WILL
RESIST DISSOLUTION
President Announces Appeal from De-

man Law Violator.
MUST SUBMIT PLAN in 90 DAYS

ST. Paul, MINI, Aug. 12-Dissolution Of
the International Harvester Company on
the ground that II is a trust in violation
Of the Sherman law was ordered in a
decision by the Federal Circuit Court
here
The Harvester trust must submit TO the
court within ninety days a plan Of split
ting the combine into at least three sepa-
rate and independent concerns, or the
court will appoint a receiver for the conn
pany.
The decision declared that since its
organization in 1902 the Harvester COM
pany has existed in violation Of the Sher-
man antitrust laws. The original cor
poration, consisting OF five concerns, vio-
lated one section OF that law by suoduing
competition among themselves, and the
combination violated another section by
monopolizing trade.
One serious fault found by the court
Was the fact that the Harvester trust
advertised the D. NJ. Osborne Company
after the trust had absorbed IL. The
Harvester trust was in control OF N 10
s. per cent Of the agricultural implement
trade, but by so advertising the Osborne
company the trust caught the trade

There is accommodating evidence to in

France, is 10 advance northward OF Lor-

ing the Fourteenth Austrian Army Corps,
which is reported to have reached Istein.
The Eighteenth and Fourteenth Ger
man Corps are reported to be moving
northward by rail. The Twenty first Ger

Sarrebrug. North Of a line drawn from
Metz northwest for fifty miles to Mont
