Money in Politics.

No expects gorlett 70 spend mon
ey for the purpose of securing his elec-
ton. He is not that kind of q man,
and he certainly has no need OF spend
ing a dollar. for he makes his own can
yass and has the offer OF the gratuitous
services of a number Of good speakers.
All who know MI. Corlett and ap-
preciate his merits will gladly vote for
him, and also work for him, without
other remuneration than the proud
consciousness of having aided in the
election of n of our ablest and best
citizens to represent the people of Wy
oming on the floor of the national House
of Representatives.
But on the other hand, how is it with
Steelef Surrounded as he is with a set
of hungry politicians, who never have
stirred a step without ample compensa-
ton, who have bled him twice of all the
money he had and could borrow, who
would repudiate him tomorrow if they
knew that their pay was not forth
coming, he panders to the greed of a
class of men who have brought politics
into ~disrepute in this country by COM
polling candidates to buy themselves
into Office. These political leeches have
taken Steele's money, $ they have
Nuckolls' and Murrin's greenbacks,
and thus the leaders have assisted in
perpetuating a most corrupt practice.
The election of a person to Office has
become a matter Of dollars and cents.
No n unwilling to so corrupt the
elective franchise has been able to OBJ
tain Office, no matter how able or quail
fed for the position. 1t is high time
that reform be brought. about in this
all important matter. Let the people
by their votes put down this system of
buying and selling offices; let them in
augurate this reform in this Territory
by electing Corlett to Congress.

Crushed Between Cars.

Sunday morning, Milton Lockridge,
a brakeman on theK ansas Pacific, was
assisting in making up trains in the
Denver yard, and in attempting to
couple an engine on a fiat car failed to
make the coupling, owing to the fact
that the casting ON the engine was
considerably higher than the draw-bar
of the cal. He signaled the engine
away, and taking a piece of a stick or a
stone stepped in again, intending to
raise up the bar with one hand and slip
the stone under it with the other.
While thus engaged, he called out to
the engineer to ''hold'up a little" The
wind was blowing very hard, and the
engineer understood him to say shack
up a little" Accordingly, he backed
up and caught Lockridge between the
engine and draw-bar, the latter being
against his bowels. Lockridge was
conveyed to a restaurant near by, where
he remained until death ensued. The
accident occurred at IL O'Clock, and
death took place at 2'40 p. m. The
coroner was notified, and the jury gave
a verdict in accordance with the above
facts. Lockridge was a young man of
good habits, and considered by his
superiors as one Of the best men on the
road. His wife is in this city. His
body was brought here on the d. p.
express last night, and the funeral will
occur to-day.

..Blowed An the Nap Off"

While the Laramie zephyr of yester-
day was at its height "Limpy Dick'' was
meandering down Hill street, toward
the depot, when all of a sudden his
well worn and greasy ''plug'' was lifted
from his alabaster brow, and borne
rapidly away by the L. e. Dick started
after it, making very good time for a
mar with a game leg, but when he
reached the telegraph Office gave up the
chase and INDUCED in several profane
remarks. He decided to visit a hat
store at once, but just as he turned
around a bran new silk tile came roll
ing toward him. He seized it and
placing it on his head walked off salts
fed. Scarcely had Dick disappeared
when a Black Hitler, who arrived
Saturday and at once devoted a part of
the proceeds of his successful summers
work to the purchase of good clothes
and a plug" hatless and breathless,
turned into Hill street from 18th.
Catching a glimpse of Dicks old hat,
which had then gained that distance
which is said to lend enchantment to
the view, he put on more steam and
overlook the flying tile just before it
reached the railroad track. The coun-
tenance of that man as he turned the hat
around in his hands and gazed at it was
comical to behold. He walked slowly
away, still keeping his incredulous gaze
fixed on the hat. Rapherty, who had
witnessed the whole affair, met him
just then and ironically asked if he had
caught his hat. "Thar it is, stranger. y
was the reply, as the Black Hitler held
out Dicks tile, "but id if the wind
haint blowed all the nap off"

Gone to Meet Their Mammas.

The quartette of bad young people
from Council Bluffs, whose sensational
story has been published in these col
umns, departed from the Magic City
yesterday. They were not very anxious
to go, but circumstances, in the shape
of a requisition from his nibs, the Gov
ernor of Nebraska, accompanied by a
duly authorized officer, compelled them
to shake the dust of Wyoming from
their wicked feet. The boys, Haggerty
and Cahoon mot Callahan), were pre-
sented with elegant steel bracelets by
our genial sheriff, and displayed the or
naments to the gaping crowd as they
boarded the train.
A highly polished steel chain united
the graceless pair, and they moved
away under the watchful eye Of Road
master Whitney, of the C. B. & @. R.
R., who is stepfather Of the Story girl,
and was specially commissioned by the
Nebraska authorities to come for the
culprits. The requisition was given on
the strength of warrants regularly
sworn out, n of which charged Julia
Whitaker with forgery and the Others
charging her three companions with be-
ing accessory to the crime.
Young Cahoon seems to be a boy who,
if rightly led, would lead a proper life,
and there may be some hope for his
companion. Miss Story has yielded to
the baneful influence of her companion,
Miss Whitaker, and before leaving was
quite impudent, insisting-as did the
other girl, that she would throw her
self into the Missouri if she failed to
escape before reaching that river.
A brace of Omaha drummers were
allowed to visit the girls while here.
and there is little doubt but that some
plot was Matched up by them for the
release of the girls from their whole
some confinement.

Tom Talbot and the Sheep.

Tom Talbot, policeman and Demo-
cratic candidate for constable, had
u little adventure with sheep, Satur-
day afternoon. The sheep was on the
sidewalk, in violation of the city ordi-
nances, and somebody told Tom that it
ought to be put off. Tom thereupon
went after that sheep, and the sheep
ran into a stairway, when it was cor
nered by Tom, but broke away,
knocking the officer down. The
sheep turned on Tom as he was rising,
and placed its head against the other
side of his waist SO forcibly as to send
him headformost against the stairs.
Toms temper rose with his body, and
he drew his club, but the sheep sent
him to grass again before he could turn
around. Then the animal started off,
holly pursued by the officer. Darling
into an alley the sheep stopped, and as
Tom came up, rushed out, knocking
the knight of the star down again. By
this time Tom was very mad, and was
heard to remark that he would ''get
even with the dom'd spalpeen yet" The
sheep stood on the sidewalk, smiling
~serenely, and Tom raised his club and
rushed at him, but catching his foot on
a nail, fell sprawling. This was ''meat''
for the sheppard he ''got in his work"
then and there. He butted the officer
in the nose, the blood fairly binding
him; he butted him in the stomach,
doubling the poor fellow up like a jack
knife; he butted him in the back, in the
side, and in fact he raised bumps all
over Tom, finally butting him clear off
the sidewalk into the ditch, hooked a
horn into his hat, pranced triumphantly
up the street on the sidewalk, waving
the hat aloft as a trophy. Tom was
carried home on a stretcher and has
told the Rapherty boy that he ''don't
want ony more foolishness with ony
| dom'd son-of-a-gun-of-a-shape."

Indians on the Yellowstone.

Recent advices from Bismarck state
that on the 10th a party of hostiles at
tackled Colonel Otis command of four
companies, who are guarding the trans
portation Of supplies from Glendive to
Tongue river. The train was driven
back, the Indians capturing sixty
mules.
Major Smith, u. s. paymaster, who
reached Bismarck by the steamer Car
roll last Friday, says Colonel Otis re-
ports the Indians very troublesome
about Glendive, numbering 500 to 800,
and harassing the troops on every side.
Reinforcements have been sent from
Fort Buford.
Captain Cox, Of the steamer Carroll,
says scouts coming in at Fort Peck re-
port Sitting Bull, with 800 lodges, be-
tween Dry Fork and Beaver creek, 60

companies of infantry, commanded by
Captains Van Horn, Bradley and

beautiful goods now displayed, and
why the sales are SO large. People can
not refrain from buying after seeing
the goods.

The Bloody Injuns

Are "raising bloody hell'' all along

the conclusion that the only way to

a large and well selected stock of only
the best goods, and if you cannot make
a satisfactory selection at his store you
had better go barefoot.
