A Professor Of What

Sometimes 1t becomes the duty of II
Journalist To chronicle events occurring
within his knowledge, which. however
distasteful, it is necessary to make pub
lie for the general good.
\ matter has recently come to light
In which Il we'll known professor of
Cheyenne is the standard bearer. The
gentleman In question came to Chey-
enne q few months ago. Shortly after
his arrival he was followed to this city
by a woman who claims to he his wife.
| For some weeks he supported her, as
in duty bound, but III time he bee N
enamored OF one of Cheyenne's fair
ladies, and nature having endowed
him with grace and winning ways,
he easily won her affections and
destroyed the domestic happiness of Il
once happy family. This new found
Glove caused him to entirely abandon
the wife who had followed him here,
and he left her to her own SQUIRE for
II livelihood. She made application ut
different places in town for employ
ment, but has thus far failed in obtain
ing u situation. She is left entirely
without means.
A gentleman who rooms in Il certain
block on Sixteenth street, IN passing
through the hallway going to his room,
last Tuesday evening, noticed the door
of an unoccupied room open. His curl
osity led him to look through the open
door, and upon investigation he found
that the room contained three trunks.
He Immediately sought the proprietor
of the building to ascertain whose prop
erty the trunks were. The owner of
the building was entirely ignorant of
the matter. After some time the gen
tleman returned to his room, resolved,
il possible, to find out whose baggage
was stored III the unoccupied room.
Lighting his lamp he revisited the
room, and much to his surprise found a
lady there guarding the trunks. Upon
questioning her, he was made %acquaint-
ed with the facts as above stated. An
other gentleman rooming in the sam
block was then awakened, and the two
offered to provide for her during the
night, by securing a room for her at an
adjoining hotel. She utterly refused
their proflered help, and remained in
the cold room all night. She was again
visited Yesterday morning by the gen
tlemen in question, but declined to ac-
cept thier aid or services. The kind
hearted landlady of an adjoining hotel
was made acquainted with the matter,
and ascertaining that the poor unfortu-
nate creature had had nothing to eat
for forty-eight hours, sent her Il good,
warm breakfast, of which she ate hear
lily, after which she took her departure,
and has not been seen since. While
the wife was without the bare necessi-
ties of life, the husband was enabled
by the generosity of Cheyenne people
to lavish hundreds of dollars upon the
frail one. who had recently fallen into
his clutches. He should he compelled
to contribute to the support of his wife
or be made to leave the city at very
short notice.

The California God Mill for the Black Hills
Those of our citizens who are inter,
ested In the Black Hills, or ia gold
mining, or In machinery, would enjoy
q rich treat In examining the heavy
material now being shipped by Cuth.
bertson i Young to the Black Hills,
for the California parties who recently
invested SO much money in the pur-
chase of the Homestake and Golden
Star mines in that rich region.
The entire shipment covers the cnor-
nous amount Of 500, 600 pounds. 1t in-
eludes all the necessary apparatus for
an eighty stamp mill, of the latest and
most improved p~atterns-16 mortars,
weighing about $500 pounds each; 2
Blake crushers, weighing over 5000
pounds each; W stamps, of about s0C
pounds weight each; 2 large tubular
steambOilers; II steam engine of oveI
100 h~orse-power;a large ty-wheel weigh
ing over 10 tons, together with an al
most innumerable number of shafts,
cams, pullies, bearings, hangers, pipes,
tubes, retorts, shoes, dies, etc-all OF
the best quality and of the heaviest and
most durable construction.
1t is a surprise to any one not ne.
quainted with the improvements in
mining machinery, to see the durable
and expensive material that is now re-
CURED to make a flrst-class gold mill.
1t has been considered good work for n
gold mill to crush a ton of ore per day
for each stamp. But this new mill is
calculated to crush five tons perday for
each stamp, or nearly 400 tons each "a
hours.

We publish to-day in full the bill in
troduced by Delegate Corlett, providing
for the incorporation of the National
Pacific Railroad and Telegraph Com
pany, mention Of which has been made
In these columns heretofore. 1t will
be observed that the bill contains only
one-to US Objectionable feature, and
that Is the immunity from taxation,
territorial county or municipal, for ten
years after the road shall be completed,
which would be virtual exemption from
taxation for an indefinite time, for 1t
has been found quite difficult In the
past to complete no long Il railroad. If
this clause could be stricken from the
bill, there would probably be no objec-
ton IN the part of any one to its i'm
mediate passage. 1t is not just or
reasonable for the men who propose to
engage In building this road to ask
communities in Wyoming and Mon
tans for pecunlary assistance, and at
the same time to take from them the
means of meeting the heavy obligations
thus incurred.

The Washington Monument.
cincinnati Commercially

WASHINGTON, Aug. A.--Col. Casey, of the
Army Engineer Corps, and superintendent OF
public buildings and grounds, has just com
pleted and laid before the Washington MOnu-
ment Commission an elaborate and able re-
port upon the condition Of the monument, its
heightrand weight, durability Of foundation,
etc He proposes plans for strengthening the
foundation by widening and deepening, 50 as
to bear the immense weight Of the structure
to the height Of SIS feet as favored by
the commission, instead OF 486 feet,
as heretofore contemplated. The re-
port presents some very interesting new
facts. Col. Casey's task was one OF
considerable labor, upon which he was closely
engaged during the entire month OF July, and
his work was all the greater because Of the
palpable inaccuracies Of former reports re-
speeding the construction Of the monument,
from the beginning to it's present state. For
instance, 1t has heretofore been understood
that the structure, as it now stands, was ITO
or 174 feet high, Whereas by actual measure
naent, Col Casey finds its height to be only
1876 feet and fraction over. Uther AMI InUTe
important inaccuracies have been discovered
The commission will hold q meeting at an
early day to examine and pass upon the re-
port, and to make arrangements for imme-
diately beginning work upon the foundation
If the purpose Of the commission to build the
monument to the height Of 525 feet shall be
carried out las it doubtless will this will be
the tallest structure ever erected.

Questions no he Asked Sherman and

tChicago Times. ]

WASHINGTON, Aug, 4.-Senator Kellogg's
sudden support of the administration, and
the fact that he Is now controlling the patron
age of Louisiana, are considerably CONNIE nted
upon and will be inquired into by the Potter
committee at their next meeting. In refer
ence to this subject Gen. Butler will PROFOUND
the following questions to Secretary Sher-
man:
/. Did you not send two or more times to
the Riggs House, at an early hour in the
morning, about the latter part Of May or the
first part of June, about the time this investi-
cation began O. messenger Inviting Senator
Kellogg to come and see you?
O. Did you not know that Senator Kellogg
was hostile to the administration?
3. What was the object you had In view In
procuring an interview with Senator Kellogg.
and what was said at any other interview
you subsequently had With him2
4. Was any arrangensant made between you
and Senator X OIL ~, Or any other person, by
which Senator Kellogg should control Fed
eraI patronage In Louisiana?
11ftpsstaaf Sherman will also be asked the follow
Pog questions: stWhen you first saw Presi-
u bnt Grant at Washington after the Presi-
,qiential election, did he not tell you that there
,fE1ad been no election in Louisiana; that the
whole thing was fraud; that the vote of the
State should be thrown out and not counted,
and that q new election for President should
be had, and did you not agree with him as to
the facts and the remedy"

Boccacio, in his awful picture of the scourge
at Florence, says: "When the evil had become
universal the hearts Of all the inhabitants
fspeaking of Florencp) were closed to feelings
Of pity and humanity. They fled from the
sick, and all that belonged to them, hoping by
these means to save themselves; others car
RED their precautions still further, and
, Thought that the surest way to escape death
was by flight They therefore left the city,
women as well as men, abandoning their
dwellings and their relations andretiring into
the country; but of these also many were
carried off, most of them alone and deserted
by all the world, they themselves having set
the example. Thus 1t was that one citizen
fled from another, a neighbor from his neigh
bors, O. relation from his relations, and in the
end SO completely had terror extinguished
every kindlier feeling that the brother forsook
the brother, the sister the sister, the wife her
husband, and at last even the parent bis own
offspring, and abandoned them, unvsited and
unsoothed, to their fate" And all this for @
disease that had no more infection about it
than intermittent fever. Dr. Rochoux says
"Not content with establishing cordons, laza-
rets, guarantees, publications, etc. villages
infected with plague were surrounded and
burnt amid the accamations of the crowd
The town Of Digne, in France, was saved from
this fate only at the last moment, when the
authorities ascertained that all the towns
around Digue wtro s5iifiiasly affected

How yellow Fever In Communicated

WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. DIR. Wood
ward, Surgeon General OF the Marine Hospi-
tai Services. who, by law, has authority over

yellow fever is not communicated from sick

veyed in clothing or baggage, especially II
lurking places of the disease are damp, filthy
holds and bilge water. OF vessels. When the
poison finds Judgment In boat g house or r.
q locality they become centres OF infection IL
on land. Quarantine by land, beyond disin,
fecting clothing or the effects of passengers
says Or. Woodward, ''is, in my opinion, I'M
practicable, If not useless, not taking into
account the harm that is done to commerce,
which Is no small consideration pr. Wood
ward says that If a boat affected with yellow
fever should come to st. Louis, Louisville or
Cincinnati, the infection might spread from
the vessel, but, he says, that there is not SO
much danger from a river boat as from the
ocean vessels, as the former are more open
and better ventilated. He does not believe
the disease can be carried in the mail.
