SIN tl,e Trade"

A.e called the salesman aside and asked
for the proprietor. His general appear
ance was hardly one calculated to in
crease one faith in the business boom,
and the salesman told him that the pro-
prieCor had gone East.
"Well. perhaps you'll do justas well, 7"
was the reply. Give been in the fur
niture trade myself and would like to
talk confdentially about prices, with a
view to purchase.
The salesman ached to het him dol
lar that he had never handled anything
more extravagant than o washboard,
but he remembered stories he had read
about milionaires in disguise and kept
still.
"Pm solid as an Eastlake bedstead,"
the customer continued, Fan want bot

The grand jury has been instructed
by Judge Sener respecting their duty of
investigating the condition of the court
house and Jail. The court house is evil
IDENTIFY in excellent condition, and SO is
the jail, 30 far as cleanliness and good
order is concerned. But it is highly
Objectionable on hygienic grounds. The
principal of its construction Is at fault
The Jail is a large room, and is well
lighted and ventilated. In the center
is an immense iron cage containing
cells, six on each side. The floors,
walls, roofs and doors of these cells are
composed of iron. The result Is that
they are always cold. and moisture, or
"sweat" gathers upon tho iron, by
reason of condensation upon the cold
iron. The clammy GOODNESS chills the
prisoners to the marrow, when in their
cells for the night, Notwithstanding
that the large stove in the Jail is kept
burning. Their natural warmth is be-
Ing constantly absorbed by the cold,
clammy iron, and rheumatism is n Of
the consequences.
The prisoners frequently complain
about this, and many of them suffer
severely by reason of their imprison-
ment there. Last fall, E. G. Filley
grew dangerously i'll, and the county
physician certified that he was in abso-
Lutte danger of losing his life by CON
tinued Imprisonment, so Filley was re-
leased on his own recognizance. At
the November term of court, James
Smith had to be carried into the court
room in a chair for trial, because of a
case Of innammatory rheumatism
contracted in jail, and his case,
too, was certified to be dangerous
by the county physician. At the pres.
emit time Edward Goldwaite, n prisoner,
Is suffering from rheumatism contract
ed since his incarceration in Jail, and
he, too, had to be carried up into the
courtroom In a chair yesterday. Then
there is Robert McMillin, another pris-
oner, who experiences much pain in
the shoulders from rheumatism, while
Reynolds Payne suffers from a similar
affection in the leg. Besides these, the
men frequently have colds.
AS we said before. the fault is not
with the management of the jail, for
we desire to say right here that Sheriff
Sharpless gives his personal attention
to the jail, and it is kept Clearly and in
as good order as possible under the cir
cumstances. No person could manage
1t better. The trouble Is that men can.
not live in iron boxes and retain their
health. This fact has been demon
strated through several years trial, it
has been spoken of before this by the
press. In 1873 the LEADER alluded to
the same condition of things.
There are many ways to remedy the
matter, and cheaply, too. We have
several in mind, but will not suggest
any at this time, trusting that the
grand jury will investigate the subject
and make an intelligent report thereon,
as they are certainly competent to do.

The West Soon to Enjoy a Quicker
Mall Service.

Paul Vandervoort, Of the United
States mail service, passed through the
city yesterday on his return east under
orders from the department. His west
ern trip has been made with the object
of eIpediting the western mail service;
and 1t will be q source or pleasure to
know that the efforts of the post-oflce
department In this direction are TO
amount to more than mere talk.
Arrangements are nearly completed
with overland roads looking toward
this end and through these arrange
ments six hours will be gained into
Denver, and the run to Ogden will be
shortened by twelve hours.
Heretofore the schedule time over
this road has been but 10 miles per
hour. but through q judicious applica-
ton Of a large portion Of the new ap-
preparation of 1900, 900 It expected that
the railroad officials will find 1t to their
advantage to increase this speed to %
miles, which will result In saving the
II hours time into Ogden.
This result might have been attained
R long time since had 1t not been that
the whole Of previous appropriations
had been expended on lines out Of New
York, and very apparently in the inter-
est Of the leading New York papers
more than In the interests OF CONNER
cial business. Postmaster General
Howe, himself a western man, recog-
nizes the want long felt and unattended
in the trans-continental mail service,
and is now in the west giving the mat
ter his personal attention, through
which the great and growing interests
of this vast section of the country may
receive some benefit of the increased
appropriation.
The change will occur on or shortly
after July 1st, as the appropriation will
become available then.

LARAMIE CITY NOTES.

Quite a number of Laramites have sig

The Newest Financial institution in
New Quarters.

Messrs. Kent & Arnold, proprietors of
the Cheyenne savings bank, have gotten
their new quarters into pretty Ane
shape. They are located in their own
building on Ferguson street, next door
to Stebbins, Post & Co., and have had
it reltted for banking purposes. It is
complete in every respect, having IA
splendid large and heavy vault, built
from the ground up, fine office counters
and shelving and a private office IN the
rear Of the counting room.
On yesterday the workmen placed in
position two large and handsome signs
on the front of the building, and they
are very attractive.
The Cheyenne savings bank is one of
the newest financial institutions in the
city, and it bids fair to become one of
the most popular. The proprietors, be-
ing determined to accommodate all
classes, will receive deposits of any
sums from ten cents mp. so that it cor-
responds to the popular dime savings
banks of the east.
Besides this the firm does an fire in
surance and real estate business, and is
very successful in these lines. Then
they have a large strong safe for safe
deposit purposes, so that persons who
have important papers or valuables of
any kind can have them safely slowed
away at a merely nominal cost.
While the workmen have not finally
completed their task of fitting up the
building, Messrs. Kent & Arnold are
doing business uninterruptedly and are
ready and willing to accommodate the
public right along.

II TOURISTS.
An Even Half Dozen Eastern Excur
sion Parties R~dturnIng Home.

There are no less than half a dozen
eastern excursion parties on the Pacific
coast returning or about to return to
their respective starting points. Dates
have been received for their passage
through this city on their return trip.
With the exception Of n. f. Jenkins
party, all Of them went to the Pacific
coast by the southern route. On Sun
day, 28th inst, Jenkins excursion from
New York will pass through this city
returning east. Raymond's excursion
from Boston, first party, will follow on
Tuesday, 30th inst, and on the sixth of
June, n week later, the second party
of Raymond's Boston eXcursionists will
pass east. Raymond's Philadelphia
party will follow a week later, on June
10, and the third Boston party still a
week later on the 10Th of June. Cooks
party from New York will pass east on
June oath.
Thus far the Hub takes the palm for
the number of its tourists, and judging
from preceding parties, should have u
leather medal for beauty as well. Ar
rangements have been made at the
Railroad house for meals on these
dates, and yesterday a number of
empty Pullman sleeping cars were
taken west by No. 3 to accommodate
the first named party.
