State Senator Joel 1i Hurt of Casper and
Hon .1 D Okie of Lost Cabin , two of the leadIng -
Ing sheepmen of the state , were in Chovcnrie
the other day They say there Is nothing in
the alarm that there is danger of overdoing
the sheep business in Wjomlng
Said Okie "I know nf no overciowded
range I do know that the Hig Horn basin
affords the best sheep range in the world It
lus 1 , OIH squaio miles Of this 5,000 Is not
used. "
Mr Hurt sa\s ' ! think I know some
thing about the business and s.ituatlon in
AV.voming I do not exaggerate when I saj
that between my range and the noithein
line of the state there Is loom for 1,000,000
inoto sheep "
According to Mr Okie the United States
produces but one-third of Its wool , and the
danger of crowding the market is cxtiemely
remote

To piovent the possibillt } of trouble ,

South Carolina Takes Hold of the Saloon
Business for the Profits Thereof ,
SOMETHING NEW IN THE LIQUOR LINE
Itar lloomi nnd Olnli llnuurn ll | iniieil
M Ith nnd n .Monopoly Conferred on the
Slate rrlnrlpnl IVnturc * of the
I.n\T-l.lmlt of front.
A few monthi ago n South Dakota
town talked seriously of going Into the
saloon business as u municipal invest
ment. Under the benign influence of
prohibition'groggerius ' and still alarm
joints nourished nnd the drug store
prospered as never before. The trafllc
was beyond regulation , and being
unublo to suppress the business
or license it under the law ,
the city father- ) conceived a plan of
establishing a municipal saloon or two
and turning the profits into the tieasury.
But the plan was ridiculed and hooted
into oblivion.
What Sioux Falls originated and
dropped , the commonwealth of South
Carolina , under sanction of n law passed
l > y the last legislature , proposes to put
into execution on and after the 1st of
July.
The law will close up all bar rooms
and club houses , for the net expressly
outlaws such establishments. It will
create a monopoly on a trade that has
hitherto been free as the air. It will
make the sign , "For lent , bar room , "
become an all too familiar one , espec
ially in towns nnd cities , and last , but by
no means least , it will change the dig
nified and honorable chief executive of
the fioveroitrn state of South Carolina
from plain B. R. Tilltnan , gov ornor of
the state of South Carolina , into B R.
Tillman , wholesale dealer in and dis-
j3tiser of wines , liquors , beer and all
kinds of intoxicating drinks nnd inci
dentally governor of the stato.
The supreme power of the now order
of things alcoholic will be vested in a
state board of control , consisting of
the governor , the comptroller general
and the attorney general. This board
is to nmko rules for the proper gover
nance of the state commissioner , who is
appointed b } the governor. Each county
is to have its board of control , consisting
of three discreet persons appointed by
the state board. The members of the
county boards must all be total ab
stainers , nnd thoj in turn are to appoint
one dispenser for each county
except Hiehlaiul , which will have
three , and Charleston , which will have
ten. Ironclad rules are made , so there
will be no dallj ing with the provisions
of the act. Ono of the most peculiar
parts of the law is the phrase that was
inserted at the last minute saying that
in all cases the state dispenser , who
buvs all the liquor , is to give the ad
vantage to the homo manufacturers.
This clause , it is said , was inserted nt
the instance of the representatives of
the Palmetto brewery , Charleston , who
ottered decided inducements in consid
eration therefor.
The state board of control will in
turn bo controlled by Governor Tillman ,
who will thus become , in fact , the boss
bartender of the state. lie is taking the
greatest interest in all the preparations
for the establishment of the system and
is himself personally superintending the
w ork.
During the past ton days he , in com
pany w ith his recently appointed state
commissioner , D. M. Traxlor , started
out on a trip to the west to see about
buying a good stock of the btutt for
opening up on July 1. There wore sev
eral condemned murderers waiting to bo
ranged , but the governor , just before
rls departure , respited all those about
whom there was any doubt for sufficient
time to allow him to look into their
cases after his return , and ho and his
Irst lieutenant wont on their way rc-
oicrng.
They will , it is presumed , try nil the
jrunds of liquor in Cincinnati , then
sample thoroughly the St. Louis beer ,
and on their icturn trip will come by
Kentucky nnd see what kind of mountain
dew is distilled in the famous Blue Grass
country. As there is but one way to
test whisky , and that by tasting , it may
M > naturally concluded that the governor
will have quite a time of it before he gets
back , especially considering the fact that
tie has never been much addicted to the
Use of strong drink of an } kind.
When his excellency gets back from
Iris sampling expedition , ho will imme
diately bet about to choose the right kind
of men to whom should bo intrusted
the most important ollico of guarding
and dispensing the wares of the state
bar rooms. Ho will look to all these
little points himself. At some time in
the near future the chief executive will
visit every town and city in the state to
choose the proper person to conduct the
dispensaries and the most advantageous
place for their location. This last will
be an all-important matter in the con
duct of the business , for the dispon-aries
vv ill have to bo put in such places that
they will bo able successfully to compote
pete with the blind tigers with which
every hamlet will abound.
All tlio largo towns and cities will , of
course , biifTor to an alarming extent , be
cause the municipalities will bo deprived
of their chief source of taxes , and many
plucca of business will be closed up en
tirely. But the railroad companies will
not suffer much. Whisky will bo
shipped in rice barrels nnd cheese boxes'
and lard firkins and every other con
ceivable kind of shape. It will , in fact ,
bo a return to the old system of blockade
running so largely practiced hero during
the ' 60s.
Some considerable trouble if , antici
pated at the very outset of the new sys
tem. By the terms of the novel law
only $50,000 is sot aside for the establish
ment of the dispensaries system , and it
is supposed It will bo moro than bclf-sup-
porting thereafter. A glance at the fig
ures will show that this amount will bo
far too small to start the dispensaries on
business principles and purchase the
necessary stock of liquor. At the very
lowest estimate it will take 100 barrels
of rye at $5" ) n barrel , and the bettor
grade at $110 a barrel ; then in corn
liquor SCO barrels would bo but a "drop
in the bucket. " H will bo seen that if
these estimates are in any way correct
tlio $30,000 would bo moro than ex
pended m the purchase of these few
brands. It is the purnoso of the dispen
saries to handle every class of goods for
which there is any demand. So the
state will evidently have to l > egin on a
credit basis. But there's the rub , for
the wholesale liquor dealers are agreed
that crediting the state of South Carolina
lina just now is rather risky , and cspec
lally as the government cannot bo sued.
In addition , they contend that the law
will IKI dropped irr a short time , and if
they sell to the tate bar room
the local dealers will certainly
bovcott them when the day of
tribulation is past and the orig
inal cafe comes into vogue once rnoro.
About the hardest blow of all , it is
thought , will bo that which strikes the
tnousands of consumers , and there will
probably bo considerable weeping and
gnashing of teeth when the "bar around
the corner" is abolished , for despite all
assertions to the contrary , the price of
grog-many contend , will certainly rise.
t'nilnr the law the iKftvi nnd the- county
dlsiMMwries recclvejmieh a profit of " > 0 per
cent. If the limit of i profit is charged
the cost will be ! heavier than nt
present. For instant , the very poor
est class of llquoryvvould wwt * 1- " >
a gallon ; with this 50 per cent
to the state it vMiftld b run tip to
$1.07 , nnd with thef > 0 per cent to
the county to .fiO. Add to this
the cost of then. ! , bottles nnd the
bottling , and the co wlll bo $3. . " > 0 , or ,
if sold in half-pint llasks , at the rate of
2U cents per half pint. ' Even If the cost
of the battling is ttiki-n out of the profits
the state cannot self's cheaply as the
dealers If the f 0 per cent , is added.
Goods that cost $ -.2. " ) are sold by all the
local dealers nt 2.1 cents per half pint ,
dim whisky that costs Jl.'i'i to $1.V ; > a
gallon is sold hero at 15 cents per half
pint or 2."i cents per pint.
Perhaps it is the purpose of the pro
hibitionists to raise tiie price of the
goods and in that way mlnlrni/e the con
sumption. But those who have advo
cated the law as a money-making
scheme , will , no doubt , bo in favor of
the business principle of "Quick sales
and small profits. "

The first number of the New York
Gazette was printed on October 10 , liKI. ( !
Tlio printed mutter wus arranged in two
columns and. occupied a space seven
inches by eleven , the entire page meas
uring eight by twelve and one-half
inches. There Is no copy of the Hrst
seventeen numbers of the Ga/.ctto In
existence. The Pennsylvania Historical
society library of Now York City pos
sesses ono of No. 20.
The Now York Historical society has
No. 48 and subsequent issues , besides a
largo collection of laws , acts of the ii'-setu-
bly , and various books and documents ,
the early products of Bradford's press.
In the beginning of 1727 Bradford per
manently increased the si/e of his paper
to one whole sheet of fools-cup , or four
pages. Before that time It had been
two or four pages , us the amount of news |
available required. In winter there was j
only ono mail In a fortnight from abroad |
and communication with Alb.rny wus
drlllcnlt. Hence news was scarce und
the small paper was the rule. In sum-
mer , however , there was n mall every
week from the Quaker City , nowa wiu
received from ether quarters with
greater facility , nnd tire four-page
weekly obtained the greater part of tlio
tlmo , although Its pages were frequently
ornamented with apologies for the ab
sence of news , and with extracts such as
"Dean Swift's Letters to n Young Lady , "
to 1111 up.
GOOD UNDERSTANDING.
A limitmnkrr'ii DUgrnm < > f Alirnlmnt Lin
coln'Foot. .
An offer of $1.000 was recently made
by a Washington antiquarian for a sheet
of paper njxm which , twenty-nine years
ago. Abraham Lincoln allowed a shoe
maker to trace the outlines of his feet.
This paper Is now in New York , in
possession of the original owner's son ,
H ho says ho would not part with it for
any sum of money. The sheet is about
twelve or fourteen Inches in sl/o.
The son of the presidential bootmaker
told the story of the tracing of the dia
gram as follows :
"Mr.Lincoln was troubled with tender
feet. At that tlmo my father vas keep
ing shop in Washington , und was locally
known lor a certain style of easy-lilting
shoes , his ow n make , something uf tor the
pattern of the so-culled common-sonMj
nhoo worn today. Lincoln bent for my
father and when the latter came the
former rail-splitter said :
" ' 1 understand you rnnko shoes big
enough for Iho toes ; "
"My father modestly admitted that
such were his pretensions.
" 'Well , ' went on Mr. Lincoln , 'if such
is the cnso I want to give you an order. "
"Lincoln then recited the trouble lie
hud hud with shoes. He hud n pecul
iarly shaped foot , und certainly could
not bo titled In any store handling
ready-made goods. Then , too , ho de
clared , ho was tired of his shoemaker
and wanted a change.
"Then Lincoln took off his boots and
following my father'- , instructions ho
stood on the paper whllo the shoemaker
traced with pencil the outline of Iho
presidential pedals. This sheet is the
one for which 1 recently refused $1,000
in cash. "
fc Abraham Lincoln was considerably
six feet in height. Ho had uery
largo foot The dimensions ar ° marked
