A CURIOUS
A Man Falls Upon an Open Knife
and Cuts His Tongue.

One of DR.. Crooks patients met with
a very severe accident at a late hour
on Monday night. He was coming
into town from a ranch and leading his
horse. At the time he carried a small
knife in his hand, the blade of which
was open. Soon he stumbled over a
pile of stones and fell, the knife blade
entering his mouth and piercing the
tongue through and through. The
blade broke off short Eea the handle
and remained embedded in the mans
tongue. He continued his course to the
cityand at al early hour yesterday morn
ing called on DR.. Crook, who extracted
the broken blade. 1t had entered un-
der the tongue and took a diagonal
course, the point coming out at the
top of the tongue near the throat.
The man did not seem to suffer
much from the wound, and left yester-
day for home. DR.. Crook did not ask
him for his name, hence it cannot be
given now. Evidently the patient was
q good cash customer and has not had
the fee charged up to him on the books.

He Obtains an Increase of ApproprIa-
tion for ArtesIan Wells.


Hon. j. b. Bedford, Colorado's men,
Der of the lower house, is doing spendid
service for the west. BY the following
associated press dispatch received last
evening he has insured for Wyoming
an artesian well at government ex-
pense. The dispatch says:
In the house, Bedford Colorado
moved to increase the appropriation
for the reclamation of arid and waste
lands IN certain western states and
territories from $4,000 to- $50, 900,
There was, he said, west Of the Tooth
meridian a vast extent of land which
could only be utilized by digging arte-
sian wells and procuring waters by
agencies of that sort. One of the great
problems which would beset the Amer
lean people in the future, would be a
disposition Of our over-crowded popula-
ton of the great cities, and it was the
duty of the government to fit the i'm
mense tracts of land in the west for flu
ture occupation.
The amendment was agreed to.

-sToHIEs AND sTonYTEILEHs'
hPIeadid LeetaFs by Mr. vii Il
EIsseheF Last Evening".

-
The Dramatic theater WAS well filed
last evening with a very fine audience
who had gathered 10 hear Mr.. Yin l.
Yisseher deliver a humorous Lecture on
the subject Of t.Stories and Story Tel
lers." They enjoyed a rare treat, for
Mr.. Yisscher gave them an evening of
mirth that is rarely equalled.
The entertainment opened with a
duet by Mrs. W. W. Corlett and Mr.. ].
q. S. Richardson, followed by a solo by
Miss Dove Wiley; a solo by Mrs. W. L.
visscher; a solo by Mrs Corlett, and a
Duet by Mrs Visseher and MissWiIey.
The music was eharmingly rendered
and the audience manifested the heart
lest enjoyment and approval.
The lecturer of the evening then APP
peared, and vas introduced briefly by
Mr.. j. g. Baird. For an hour and a
half Mr.. Visseher held his intelligent
audience completely under his control.
He eommingled humor, pathos and an
cedote-now holding the audience by a
spell of pathos, and then suddenly
awakening them with a shower of
hnmor. Mr.. Visscher showed the fine
connection between pathos and humor,
and cited copicusly from standard
authors. His pictures and descriptions
of Thomas +. Marshall of Kentucky,
and George ID. Prentiss, editor of the
Louisville Journal, were highly enjoy
able.
But the fun of the evening was in the
many amusing stories which Mr..
Visscher related in an inimitable man
ner. 1t mattered not whether the charac
tiers were French, Germans, Irish. south
erners, or negroes, each was carried out
perfectly in manner and dialect. Mr..
Visscher has a wonderful fund of anec-
dote and a master power of imitation.
On the whole the lecture was a fine
success, and was a worthy tribute to a
worthy audience.

Major Ben PerleyP oore, the ssfather"
of the reporters gallery, went to Wash
ington in 1927. He was born in George
town, and was very young when he be-
gan in the national legislature to report
the news of the capital for a New York
newspaper. He has lived in Washing
ton almost constantly eve since. He
has a very distinct recollection of every
Inauguration from the time of John
Quincy Adams.
The following is p~en-picture of the
Baroness Burdett Coutts, who has Just
married Mr.. Bartlett: She is tall and
graceful, and has bark brown HAIR and
hazel eyes. Her energy and vitality
are extraordinary, and when she is
well she defeats her age by a dozen
years. Her hands are very small and
delicate, and have been modelled as
specimens of perfect beauty, She usu-
ally dresses in dark velvet or silk or a
well-chosen and subdued color. She
wears a head dress in the morning, but
in the evening she is to be seen in an
Angot cap. She has an abundance of
most rare and costly jewelry, but she
rarely makes any display of it on her
person. Occasionally she wears a
tigers claw, richly set, rs a pendant to
the gold chain round her neck. 1t was
presented to the baroness by Sir Garnet
Wolselly, and she values it highly. The
baroness is a good horsewoman, and is
fond of exercise, and she walks with an
elasticity that many a younger woman
might envy.

a Change of. Management-Renova
tion and Repairs.

Mr.. L. r. Summer, Of Denver, has
leased the Inter Ocean hotel and will
manage this neat and commodious
hotel hereafter. 1t is his intention to
80 conduct the institution that 1t will
command the patronage Of. our home
folks al well as travellers. The table
will be furnished with superior food,
and this department particularly will
be well attended to.
The hotel is now being reprinted,
calcimined and repapered, SO that it
will be renewed throughout.
1t is the intention Of the management
to have the hotel speak for itself in
tones stronger than can be conveyed in
print. Mr.. James A. Graham is still
chief clerk, and patrons will always be
sur Of receiving prompt and respect
full attention.
Mr.. Sumner has had many years ex-
perience in keeping hotels, and in Den
yer he has the reputation for setting
the best table in the city.

STOCK NOTES.

In his report OF the examination Of
the beef from the cattle. killed at the
fat stock show in Chicago last fall, DIR.
G.. Sprague says Of excessive fairness:
"a fattening animal is green while
the fat is only present in liberal guam
titles in the cellular tissue under the
skin and about the kidneys, and ripe
only when the fat has entered the fat
cells among the ibres and muscles,
marbling the beef. Therefore, as the
marbling takes place late in tho fat
tening process, because the fat cells are
closely confined and pressed upon in
the bodies of the muscles, it becomes
necessary to fill the fat cells in all
other portions of the carcass, that be-
ing filled to their full capacity, further
accumulations may be forced as it
were, to find Judgment in the deep
seated parts; viz: in the very centre of
the muscles themselves. II, In order
to ensure full marbling of the deep
seated lean parts, it becomes necessary
first to load the fat r~eceptacles beneath
the skin and about the kidneys to their
utmost capacity, then by all mean do
this, disposlng of the accumulated tai
low outside of the muscles for other
than table use. The butcher is not
compelled to sell clear tallow for table
use, neither is the customer compelled
to buy it. II we can breed animals
that will marble their flesh In the early
process Of ~fattening. then we shall be
relieved of the necessity Of making n
fattening beast over fat in order to en-
sure that the lean portions be reasona-
bly, well marbled. Until this can be
done, give us the fat abundantly under
the skin and about the kidneys, selling
it as tallow, for what tallow is worth.
1t would be very proper, and n step
in advance, to offer a prize on the
beast, or rather to the man who should
breed and rear the beast, capable Of
showing the highest specimen Of mar
bling with the least accumulation of
fat, merely as such, outside Of and
measureabiy away from the muscles.
Men can express their likes and dislikes,
it costs nothing to do this, bu. mere
expressions Of opinion cut no figure in
so strictly a practical matter as grow
ing meat for the million. The true in
wardness of the subject is. asa rule,
very imperfectly understood, though
the ways of getting ut a better under
standing are being gradually found
out. The idea entertained by some,
generally vegetarians, that fat accnmu-
lated in the system is the result Of fat.

roneous in every particular. Fat in
the human system, and in all animals,
Is as natural an element as are the

How the snide Illustrated Papers
Manufacture Lies.


One Of the vile illustrated papers of
the east, the Weekly Varieties. contains
a picture on the first page Of its number
Of Feb. "a, Of two girls barricading a
door against the attempted invasion of
men bent on crime. The picture is en-
titled: "Horrible experience of two
young ladies at Cheyenne, w. 1.-TWO
desperadoes attempt to enter the house
where they are alone and unprotected
Heroic struggle OF the brave fair ones
to protect their honor"
On another page the illustration is
thus spoken Of: 1.-TWO young ladies,
nieces of Robert Errington, of Chey-
enne, w. T., while alone in the house
Of their uncle a few evenings ago, were
subjected to a terrible ordeal. Two
notorious sooundrels entered the house
and attempted to gain access to the
room where the young ladies were- OF
course their purpose was the vilest
imaginable. but the young ladies' bravely
resisted all efforts Of the scoundrels to
enter the room in spite of their threats
to ''shoot them down like cats.r One
Of the villains succeeded in pulling the
door open far enough to put his hand
through the aperture, when n of the
young ladies seized a sharp weapon and
with n blow severed the Fl myers.
Help soon arrived and the would-be
ravishers were put to rout."
None Of our readers need be told that
the occurrence above related never hap
pened in Cheyenne. 1t is a pure inven-
tion of the sensational and lying Varie-
ties. 1t is plain to be seen how Chey-
enne gets a bad reputation in the east.

Now that inauguration day Is 50 near
those who contemplate visiting Wash
ington upon the suspicious occasion,
and have not as yet decided their route,
are prone to study timetables and dis
cussing the advantages of this or that
other line to the national capital. 1t
necessitates but a very few moments
consideration to convince one that as
the Baltimore and Ohio has the only
direct track from Chicago and the west
TO Washington, it must necessarily pos
sess advantages which no competing
line a equal. This is a plain argu-
ment and requires no extended details
TO satisfy one that it is lncontroyertible.
The Baltimore and Ohio trains run
direct, whereas the trains on all other
lines are compelled to run by round
about routes to get TO Washington.
which as a matter of course necessi-
tates extra travel and consequent in
creased time aboard the cars. The
Baltimore and Ohio, with its magniA-
cent palace sleeping ears, its elegant
dining cars and its superb day coaches,
has an equipment as fine as any road in
the world, while its track laid through
out with the heaviest steel rails, its
stone ballast, steel bridges and the like,
insures the fastest time and absolute
safety. To those who love the pictur-
esque, the ride over the Alleghanies
and down the Potomac is one Of con
%tinuous interest; the snow capped
