Almost a Fire.

An alarm was sounded about 7
O'Clock last evening, and the 6remen
were soon out and ready for business,
while a large crowd of people surged
through the streets, vainly hunting for
the fire. Soon word passed from mouth
to mouth that it was a false alarm, and
the crowd dispersed. There was cause
for the alarm, however, an ~incipient
confiagration having started at Scriber's
harness shop, in the alley near Dyer's
hotel. A lot Of rags, oil and paint
caught in some mysterious way, probab-
ly by spontaneous combustion, and for
a few moments things looked decidedly
squally, but by the efforts of employees
and one or two persons who CHANGED to
be passing at the time, the ugly flames
were squelched, and what might have
proven a most disastrous fire nipped in
the bud. The damage was very slight.

1t is not possible to do business with
out being known. Some men refuse to
regard the value of newspaper adver-
Using altogether rs being too undigni-
fed for their business; but still all classes
study to keep their names and occupa-
tions before the public in a manner that
seems to them most digniied and effec-
tive,-one man will deliver lectures, an
other will discuss the Darwinian theory
Of creation, and another will discuss
the coming comet, and still another
class will write letters to the newspa-
pers; the politician is..always ready to
make a speech,-anything, in fact, that
will do something to secure publicity,
so that the most fastidious accept the
common truth that to do businessNit Il
necessary to be known, and favorably
known If possible.

Better men for the position than
those named on the Republican ticket
for county commissioner cannot be
found in the whole broad county of
Laramie. fMr, A. II. Swan is an ex-
tensive stock-grower and landowner
in the county, and is largely interested
in city real estate. Paying heavy taxes,
and being thoroughly identified with
the interests Of Laramie county and
Cheyenne, he is a man who will, If
elected, aid by every means in his pow
er the rapid progressed city and coun-
ty, watch closely the conduct of public
affairs, and guard the treasury with
Jealous care9 Our people need no in
PRODUCTION to L. Maggie. He has no
home but Cheyenne, no interest that
will not grow and develop with the
growth and development of this city
and county or languish with their de.
cline. Mr.. d. X. Smith is a shrewd,
careful business man, has held many
high public positions in his native state,
Illinois, and Laramie county will honor
itself and secure true and faithful ser
vice by electing him to the position Of
commissioner. In these times, when
retrenchment is the order Of the day,
our important offices should be filed by
men who can practice economy without
checking OF retarding our progress,
and we therefore earnestly recommend
the election of Messrs. Swan, Magic
and Smith, as possessing all requisite
qualifications and therefore being en-
titled to the united and hearty sup.
port of all citizens, regardless of poll.

The Office of probate judge and coun-
ty treasurer is IL of great importance.
1t requires a man of education, ability,

equitable settlement of estates and
other probate business, and keep close
and constant watch oyer the peoples
money with which he is intrusted. For
these offices the Republicans have NOM
mated Oscar B. Sharpless, and for the
reason that we know u nominee COM
bines the qualities named, and will
serve the county faithfully and well,
we earnestly advise his election to the
offices for which he is a candidate.

"Ahol Owl Yabl Ahooi Git out
O-o-o-h! my!" were the frightful sounds
which awoke the occupants OF a sleep
ing-car on the Union Pacific railroad,
the other night. There was cons,dera-
able agitation among the passengers,
until the porter came along and ex-
planned that it was only a gentleman
who had had a nightmare in n of the
upper berths. The gentleman proved
to be Dio Lewis, who had been eating
escalloped oysters, doughnuts, lobster
salad and Boston bucks for supper, and
who dreamed that he had received q
Democratic nomination for congress in
Massachusetts.

Very oauzy.

The Kansas City Times (Democratl
has the following dispatch:
DENVER, Col, Oct, 20.-Though
the official returns of the late election
are to be canvassed on the 28th inst.
and by law r supposed to be sealed
until that day, it is currently reported
that they have been opened, and a de.
Termination had as to increasing the
Republican majority by throwing out
particular districts for alleged inform
atty in certifying to the abstracts.
This is the thinnest kind of bosh,
For effect in Ohio and Indiana, the
Democrats claimed that they had car
ried Colorado, although they knew posi-
lively that such was not the fact. The
official returns of the vote viii, of
course, demonstrate without question
the falsity of their audacious claim;
and they are now, through statement:
like the above, seeking to break tn,
force of the official figures.

The mantle of the attorney for Lara

mfr. johnson is one of the old timers:
having crossed the plains in 1866 with
a bull-team express, he settled in Chey-

Magic City. In the practice of his pro-
fession he has distinguished himself by
ability, perseverance and strict integri-
ty, as his many clients will testify To
the Office of Prosecuting Attorney he
will bring a ripe experience as a lawyer,
thorough knowledge of the affairs of
Laramie county, and a determination
to administer his Office with impartiali-
ty and economy. Being a heavy tax
payer himself, he will see to it that no
unnecessary expenses are incurred in
the administration of justice in this
county; and in this he will meet with
the hearty cooperation Of the Board of
County Commissioners to BE- chosen on
the seventh of next month.
Mr., johnson has the united support
of all good citizens who have the we'll
fare of the county at heart. His cleo
ton to the Office for which he is a can
didate is a foregone conclusion.
