RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN
CHEYENNE.
Converts & warren. FurnIturs House

q warrens& FurnIturs House
Among the many enterprising bust
ness men Of Cheyenne who have
invested a large part OF their capital in
substantial improvements the firm Of
Converse & Warren stand pre-emi-
nent. Their very extensive and ever
increasing trade requires extraordinary
accommodations and facilities, and
these have been obtained by hat firm
in their new block on Sixteenth
Street. adjoining the Inter-Oeean
Hotel.
The furniture trade OF a city is
thing of a guide In a~scertaining its
wealth and culture, or. in other words,
n fair index to its actual condition.
II It partakes of the characteristics Of
a live town, its inhabitants spend
money freely, for they make it by
their enterprise, nnd a large share goes
to adorn their homes.
In such a thriving city AS Cheyenne
it is not surprising hat there is IL OF
the largest and finest furniture estab-
lishments tn be found In the country.
Messrs. Converse & Warren, the pro
prietors, nave been in business here
so long. and are known 50 well to all
the people Of Wyoming and Colorado,
that we can scarcely hope to add to
their reputation we can merely direct
attention to them.
Their new store rooms are located
on n very desirable site and are con-
structed In accordance with their
wants they could not be improved
upon. They embrace two floors and
basement. and have the great depth of
12O feet. So far MS light aud ventila-
ton is concerned, the building Is per-
feet. The first floors are devoted TO
the office and genera, salesroom, where
Is to be seen n little of everything
dealt in-pnrlor furniture, chamber
sets, book cases, sofas, lounges the
same covering n great range in prices
and styles also, mirrors and n fine
display of brackets and bijouterie. In
the eastern half a large and choice
assortment Of crockery, glassware,
chandeliers and silver ware Is on ex-
hibition; the h"ousekeeper can find
here everything that Is needed to set
up in housekeeping the variety of
prices charged for the goods enable
everyone, whether rich or poor, to get
a suitable outfit.
Right at this point it would be well
to say that Messrs. Converse & War
ren's trade calls more for the finer and
expensive class Of goods, and their
stock is therefore made up to conform
to this demand. On the second floors
all kinds of furniture aud other goods
are kept ready to be finished up ac-
cording to the taste of the purchaser
here are found mattresses, bedding,
lounges, parlor and sitting room fur
niture of all the recent patterns and
designs. The rear part is divided into
the finishing. upholstering and pack
ing department all arrangements
here are complete for turning out per-
feet work at the lowest living prices.
In conclusion, we have to say we
are satisfied that there are few places
in the west where one n purchase to
such advantage all kinds of household
material; purchasers will find bar
gains in most every department, and
Mr.. Warren, one of the proprietors.

his complete establishment.

"A handbill was circulated about

LEADERS, statement, that DIR. Corey
had voluntarily confessed that the
Democratic tickets he had prepared,
were ordered by him mt the request of
Mr.. John E. Davis, was "willfully
and m~aliciously false" All we can
say in reply is, That DR.. Corey made
that statement to the editor of the

office of the Collector of Internal Rev

Capture of n Hor-e Thief In Laramie
City.
From IN, Laramie SIM

For some time past a well organized
gang of horse thieves have beer oper-
ating in this vicinity. They have de-
fled the nfhceos, and have carried on
their nefarious business in "A high
handed Their thieving has
not been confined to stock alone, but
any property Of value upon which
they could lay their hands, has been
appropriated. The ring leaders have,
however, despite their boasts and
shrewdness, Leen captured and are
10Y awaiting trial and punishment
for their crimes. The last arrest was
made OIL Saturday night, while two of
the scoundrels were in the act of steal
ing two horses from Mr.. Young's sta
BILE, in the rear of the Mechanics
House. When the sheriff and his
deputy approached the stable one of
the thieves fled, out the other drew his
revolver and fired at the officers, show
ing that he would even commit muir
der to accomplish his object. He
missed his mark, and was knocked
down and secured. The firing attract
ed n large crowd, who advocated a
hemp necklace for the villain, but the
officers succeeded in landing him safe
ly in Jail. We are inclined to think
it would be policy to deal summariIy
with these thieves, and string them up
as SOC as caught. We have been
cursed too long already with their
high-handed outrages, and some severe
means should lie adopted to at once
put a stop to them. We hope they
will be punished to the full extent of
the law.

IN mEmOHIAn.

The saddest news these columns
have conveyed to the people of Chey-
enne for some time, we are compelled
to this morning. Miss Is
tella G.. Warren, died at her brothers
residence, last evening, after only a
few hours' sickness. AT -four o'clock
yesterday afternoon Miss Warren was
taken suddenly i'll with an attack Of
cholen morbus. NIrs. Warren, her
sister-in-Iaw. anticipating nothing Sc
rIous, prescribed a simple household
remedy hut In a few hours the symp-
toms OF the disease beeams worse, and
although medical assistance was called
Immediately, and everything done for
her that human skill could suggest,
Miss Warren died at eleven o'clock
last evening.
The telegram that flashed over the
continent, from the Rocky Mountains
To the hills of Massachusetts, u%nnounc-
ing to the nged parents, near Pittsield
of that State, the sudden death OF their
eldest daughter. must have stricken
with the deepest sorrow the hearts of
father aud mother. The blow has
fallen with IA terrible and crushing
weight upon her relatives and many
friends In this city. Only yesterday
she was in our mi,lst. in her peerless
and perfect wumanhood, seeming the
strongest aud most healthful of her
sex, so beautiful and selcreliant to-
day only her mortal remains are left
among ~.
Estella came To Cheyenne, to join
her brother, about two years ago, and
she has since been with him and his
family. manifesHng toward them the
truest deviation and the tenderest love,
giving To them the warmest and most
earnest helpfulness. Our words ARE
o wenk to bear testimony to the
beauty of this devotion to her friends /;
the grief that weights the heart OF the
mourners is too sacred to he lightly
touched.
Miss Warren, during her stay among
us, has made n hust Of friends, and to
them her sudden decease Is n source of
the deepest sorrow. She dispensed
among the circle of her acq~uaintances
the rich perfume of strength, light
and goodness. Now, stricken down

presence, with n soul-lit face and a
gentle, loving, true womanly heart,
always noble and kind. Alas for us
hat this strong, bright presence is still

have enwrnpped her in his cold en-
brace.

Jugglery in India.

THE conjurers and acrobats of India
are tribe by themselves, resembling the
gypsies of Europe, and, being subtle and
crafty, are despised, yet feared, by the
common people. They are wonderfully
expert in the performance of their tricks
and feats of strength, some of which re-
main inexplicable, even to the intelligence
of the acute European. One of the most
striking Of their ruses-that Of the basket
and child-is thus described:
Achild seven or eight years old, standing
upright in the basket, writhes in convul-
sions under the influence of music, and dis
appears slowly into the interior, which is
barely large enough to contain 1t. Scarce
ly is it inside when the musicians throw
themselves upon it, close the lid and pierce
the basket in every direction with their
long knives. They strike with all their
might until, the bamboo giving way, the
basket is completely flattened and seems
no longer capable Of containing anything
They then reform the circle and resume
their chant, to which voice now responds
proaches and, at last, seems to come from
the basket, which becomes more and more
distended, the lid is removed and the child
springs out"
The top-trick is also exceedingly puz-
cling. The jugg.er gives the toy Wig
orous whirl, and places 1t on the point OF
a stick balanced upon his forehead or
nose In this position, without any fur
ther interference from the juggler, the top
suspends its spinning and renews it again
at the bidding Of spectator. These al
ternate movements are repeated during
several seconds, greatly to the astonish
ment of beholders. 1t is not so strange
that the top should pause, but that it
should resume its whirling without any
fresh impetus seems to be pure witchcraft,
There is no mechanical continuance dis
coyerable in either the top or the stick on
which it plays.
Among the surprising feats Of the aero
bats are those of the rope-dancers. Ore
performer steps upon the rope with naked
feet and pile Of jars on his head. Hav-
g reached the center, he causes the rope
to swing rapidly to and fro, maintaining
his balance by moving his body in har-
mony with the oscillations of the rope,
at the same time holding his head motion
less IN order not to lose off the jars. An
other acrobat walks skillfully along the
rope with bufalo-horns tied perpendicu-
larly to the feet.
A wonderful exhibition Of jugglery is
executed with swords and sashes Dor
rowed from the spectators. The conjurer
wearing the scantiest apparel, so that his
bust and limbs are wholly visible, presses
