Soft and Hard Scans.

Ordinary soaps are of two kinds, soft
and hard Soft soap Is n combina-
ton of some fattyor oily substance with
potash, and contains an excess OF aikali.
The hard soaps are combination of
the fatty acids with soda; the principal
varieties being yellow soap, made from
tallow and palm oil, and containing a
small proportion of resin TO give it lath-
Sering properties; eurd soap which is
made from talIow, only a small portion
of olive oil or lard being added TO give
it softness; notified soap, which is pre-
pared from tallow, palm oil and kiteh-
en- stuff, and contains portion of in
soluble iron, giving it a marbled APP
pearance. MarseiIles and Carlisle soaps
are made of olive oil and soda, n small
quantity Of sulphate of iron, sulphuret-
ted I've being added to them while i'm a

soap with an insoluble matter is to show
that they contain but little moisture,

There are many Wyoming people
who will read with interest the follow
ing little story from the Omaha Bee:
THE grand jury of Douglas county
before their adjournment filed two in
dictments against James NJ. Pattee for
carrying on a lottery contrary to the
criminal laws of this state. Mr.. Pattee
has been notorious in this section as a
manager of lotteries and bogus gift en-
terprises, which have been advertised
far and wide as noble charities. His
last venture in Omaha was the Redick
opera house lottery in which everybody
drew blanks except Mr.. Psttee, and
half dozen of his confidential agents.
Since that time Mr.. Pattee has been in
the lottery business in Wyoming, Col
orado, New York and other sections,
but the government has generally
spoiled his schemes by prohibiting its
circulation through the mails. A few
weeks ago Mr.. Pattee came to Omaha
and soon thereafter opened q lottery
shop in his building. This time he re-
sorted to the device Of sending out
copies of what purported to be the
Omaha Journal of Commerce, a paper
that died several years ago. This paper
had no subscribers excepting parties
that were lured into sending in a dollar
for a lottery ticket. The postofice au-
thorities got after Pattee and an order
was issued prohibiting the bogus Jour
nal of Commerce from circulating from
the mails.
The grand jury regarding Pattee's
scheme as a regular lottery brought in
the indictments as reported above. Mr..
Pattee gave bail to appear to answer
the indictments"

ances.
Yesterday Prosecuting Attorney Pot
ter was in receipt of a brief message
from Coroner Lee stating that his jury
were unable to render a verdict stating
whether or no Campbell's death was at
his own or another's hands, and asking
for instructions.
With the meagre facts concerning
the case, which the public is already in
possession of, it is impossible to judge
more than that, to say the least, it is =
very peculiar affair,
LATER-Late last night adyices were
received at the LEADER Office stating
that the %coroner's jury had brought in a
verdict that James Campbell came to
his death from pistol shots in a man
ner unknown to the jury.
The principal facts disclosed were
that Campbell received two shots
through his head and two through his
heart.
The physician in attendance could
not state positively whether or not the
victim could have done it himself.
Campbell's money and personal effects
were found upon his person unmolested.
Frank Campbell, a brother Of the de.
ceased, swore out warrants for the ar
rest of suspected parties and they have
been placed in the hands of an officer
for service, and utmost endeavors will
be used to bring the parties to justice II
there has been foul play, as it certainly
would seem there has been.

\ .ewApapcr Mans Experience In a
G.. a. II. Uniform.

-
VIII Visscher, of the Hello. Denver,
is a prominent member of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, and when in his
dark blue uniform with its brass but
tons, resembles as much as may be a
railroad conductor or a trainsman.
Recently while in this city on his way
to Denver from Fort Collins he was
very much annoyed by being mistaken
for a railroad employe, and piled by
numerous questions by anxious travel
ers; and the air of familiarity he wore,
arising from his extended reportorial
work in this city added to the decep-
ton:
First an English tourist, one of those
fellows who puts an eye-glass in his
ocular' and gazes through the circle
with profound contempt at everything
in the "blarsted country" stepped up
to him with:
81 say porter, does everybody wear
such 'orrid trousers has that in this ERE
countryP" pointing to a cowboy in his
leather chaps.
''Such chaps always do" replied
Vissch good naturally.
Then a big fat woman, with two or
three baskets, several bundles and two
or three children, rushed up to the
newspaper sharp.
"Oh, conductor, is this my train?"
II don't know madam, which way do
you 60"
'Oh, 1 want to go to Salt Lake"
"Do you," still good naturally, l
thought you came from there from ap-
pearances. This is your tram"
Then up trotted a dapper little swell
and proffered:
"If L was you, conductor, 1 think !
would make the management give me
a summer Derby-ah."
This was getting to be a little mono
t%onous, and Vissch swung his brilliant
nasal organ higher in the air and brief
Iy replied:
"If l was you my dear fellah, I'd gel
a head to put 1t IN"
Just as we turned around to leave, {
fellow had just rushed up putting ant
blowing, with:
Porter, porter, where do 1 go to gel
to Laramie City?"
1t may have been Imagination, bu'
all We heard was a very emphatic
go to Hello, I'm no porter"

What sort of a bird is thisr"
"This is an English sparrow. He
cannot carry off a lamb, like the eagle, |
nor is he provided with teeth and claws
like the tiger, but he leaves his mark
all the same"
How did he get here?"
"a philanthropist brought him over
from England"
what is q philanthropist?
"He is a cross between a lunatic and
an idiot"
What did he want to bring the spar
rows to America for?"-
because he hated the country, and
wanted revenge. 1t wasn't enough for
him that we have small pox, yellow
fever, cholera, drouths, foods, cyclones
and forest fires, and 1~rasshopper and
army worm plaques"
What are the chief merits of the
sparrowP"
His beautiful voice and lovabls ma
ture. His song is so much sweeter
than a file rasping over cast iron that
people have died after hearing it,"
How does he employ his timer"
I'm screaming, fighting and voting
early and often"
"Wherp 4 -s is i,nli.l hi4 ne@t?"
In the corrices OF house. III he
could have 1000 trees, rent free, he
would turn up his nose at the offer. He
couiIn't damage a tree any, but he can
make it necessary to paint a house once
a MONTH"
"Ot what is his nest Composed"
"Of everything he al handle except
oyster cans and empty beer bottles"
docs the hard hearted citizen ave
destroy these nests?"
"He does, when his family clothes
line, crowbar, or long handled shovel is
missing, he pulls down a nest and re-
covers the lost article"
"What does the poor sparrow DO
them"
"He rebuilds."
"Can he be discouraged"
'If his nest was pulled down dfteer
or twenty thousand times he NIGH
commence to feel d~ownhearted, but
those who have routed him out FIVE OF
six hundred times, have mot seen him
even change co%untenance."
"What other birds does he agret
WITH"
The buzzard and the polecat. He Il
too proud to take up with every stran
ger who comes along. He has driver
away our robins, bluebirds, larks ant
chickadees, and even the hens are look

Would it be wicked to kill one o
these sptrrows?"
"Awful.y wicked. The philanthro
pists would raise such a howl that thu
killer would have to skip the country
Besides, you can't shoot 'em, they won
