One way to dispose of polygamy in
Utah is to disquallfy every mormon,
man or woman, who lives in polygsmy,
from the exercise Of the privilege OF
suffrage. President Arthur's commits
sion, sent out to Utah to see to the ex-
ecution of Senator Edmund's bill, re-
ports that while such a commission has
nothing to do with the mere enforce
ment OF penalties against polygamy, 1t
can and does, under the Edmund's bill,
exclude polygamists from the polls.
Female suffrage, 1T seems, is in full
blast In Utah; and a mormon who has
three wives, loses not only his own
vote, but three others-for his wives
generally vote as he does. Over u 900
mormons have thus been excluded, and
the head ''mugwumps" of the mormons
are getting uneasy, aud trying hard to
hold the young mormons in the fold, by
assuring them that the Edmund's bill
is only a temporary law. But the
young men do not relish a life of ex.
clusion from all political influence, and
will soon begin to come over to the
Gentle camp In battalions, IL the law
stands-as 1t undoubtedly will.

IL Is Not True.

Our weekly contemporary, the Senti-
mel, In its last issue, said that the busi-
ness men of Laramie lacked both en-
terDrise and go-aheadativeness, and now
our territorial exchanges are copying
the remark and INDUCING in q great
deal of fun at our expense. In view OF
this fact we rise to remark that the
Sentinel's assertion is not borne ont by
facts. Laramie's business men do not
lack enterprise, the assertion Of the
Sentinel to the contrary no~twithstand-
ing, and we hope our exchanges will
"iet up Oh their humorous drives at
as fine a set of men as any a boast of.
They are always ready to lend a help
ing hand to any easur which PROM
Uses to advance Laramie or her inter-
ests, and IL they had as much capital as
lies buried in some Of the treasure
vaults of neighboring cities, would
make Laramie boom with an exceed
ing great boom. n-Boomerang.

Yesterdays Cheyenne Sun had an
account Of a very singular accident
which occurred ut Schwartz's ranch on
Pole creek. A telephone instrument
was being placed in position and
Thomas Tierney was adjusting the
wires. A storm vas in progress at the
time and he was warned that there
WAS danger, but he continued his work.
The Sun says: Suddenly three sharp
reports like the intonStions Of a large
rife rang through the room aud Tier
ney fell to the floor lifeless."
The sun goes on to say that he arose
from the ground in a moment, land an
inventory Of the damage was taken.
His beard was burned, his nose and
lips were black, he was badly demoral-
lied and his hands were badly burned. .
Very singular. TierHey, we are told,
''fell 10 the floor lileless," aud after
ward rose and put arnica and court
plaster on his wounds. The days of
miracles, IL seems, are lot over. The
reporter not only kills poor TIerney,
but brings him to life again a tew mo-
ments later. And he, 1t seems, Is q
party to the deed. 1t is probably the
first time he was ever u corpse, and he
didn't know how to act. Lifeless peo-
pie as a rule, don'6 go prowling around
drug stores and doctor shops; but as we
said before, TIerney probably didn't
know any better.
All in all, it is a very singular case.-

An E..Rinr,. American WIG.

Philadelphia Telegram's Paris Letter.
Some thirty years ago an American
gentleman now residing in Paris but
then living in Springfield, Massachu.
sets, went to the shop of his tailor,
Mr.. Hensler, to give an order. While
in course Of conversation he was at
tracted by the sound of fresh and sweet
young voices Joining in a duet In the
next room. Mr.. Hensler, seeing that
his customer was pleased with the song,
invited him to enter and be presented
to the young singers, who were his
two daughters, Elise and Rose. They
were then mere children, the eldest
a tall handsome girl of 10, and
although almost wholly untaught, they
sang with great sweetness several sim
ple'and popular songs. Their new ac-
quaintauce Was so much pleased with
their voices that he sent them u guam
tity Of music and induced some philan-
thropic and wealthy ladies of Boston to
interest themselves in these gifted chill
dren. Rose, the younger, SOC aban-
doned all thoughts Of a public career,
and got married. The elder student
with success went upon the operate
boards, and finally accepted a European
engagement. She is now the Countess
d'Edls, the morganatic wife of the e1-
king of Portugal, Dom Fernando. She
accompanied him to Paris, when he
came to visit this city a few days ago.
Her early friend sent her his card with
a request for an interview, which was
instantly accorded, and he was most
warmly received. The countess, SO far
from endeavoring to efface the person
atty OF Elsie Hensler. talked OF the old
days in Springfield, asked after her
Boston friends, told of her operate
success and finally sent for her
royal spouse that sie might
present to him the kindly fellow
countryman, who had befriended her in
her youth. The only reproacL that the
Portuguese Yer havr brought against
their ex-king's American wife is her
somewhat undue assumption Of royal
prerogatives and privileges, such as her
causing her brother, when he visited
her at Lisbon a few years ago, to be re-
ceived with all the state and Formally
usually accorded to a prince upon his
travels. Moreover" once remarked a
Portuguese noble to an American lady,
sit is rather hard for us to see seated
in the royal box at the opera a lady
whom we were accustomed to applaud
upon the stage of that very theater."

FOUND DEAD.
Evidently Foul Play on a Ranch Near
Sidney.
If the Murderer Is Found We May Expect
TO Hear Of an lmpromptu
Hanging Bee,


Special to the LEADER
Sidney, November THE body of q
man, evidently about 80 years old, was
found yesterday afternoon seven miles
east Of Sidney, on the ranch of Richard
Keenger. When found he was lying
face downward in the water of Lodge
Pole creek. Twenty yards up the creek,
and about ten feet from the bank, lay
his hat, and at the same spot the
ground was covered with blood. He
had been shot, the ball entering just
below the point of the left cheek and
passing out through the base of the
brain, and is supposed to have been
killed Sunday last. He is small in size,
weighing perhaps 100 pounds, is about
five feet six inches tall and had a full
beard, the color being auburn. The
theory here Is hat he was murdered for
money, only 50 30 in silver being found
on his person and his pockets and
clothes showing evidence of being tam
pered with. No one knows who he is,
and the only clue to his identity is part
OF an envelope on which was written,
"Wm. Peter -, Twin Creek, Pinta
county, Wyo." Appearances indicate
that he had been a miner. Anyone
knowing anything that will tend to es-
tablish his Identity will confer a favor
by communicating with S. o. Fowler,
sheriff, Sidney, Neb.
1.-The "Pinta county" mentioned
above is evidently Uinta county, this
territory.-ED

II tell you, pard,n said old Jimmy
Cannon, a guide, ''the west has lost it's
romance. Only a little while ago, it
seems to me, where once there was
nothing but the war whoop of the In
dian and the song of the six-shooter
now there are railroads, and churches
and commercial men and schools and
three-card-monte men and daily news
papers and every little while a natural
death. Why within two months, If the
blasted papers tell the truth, several
men have died in Wyoming of disease.
tell you it looks as If US old timers
would have to get away. When we
have to wait for lingering disease to
snuff us out its time to light out for the
frontier"

Good beef makes good markets, half
fat and thin stuff breaks down good

vides for animal life. No hired labor
is required to grow 1t.
The best time to ship or sell beeves
is when the animals are thick fat, then
they are ready for market.
ments are about over and the supplies
from Texas will probably last about
thirty days.
Some men say they will pay 800 for
a man who cuts their wire fence. A
Coleman county man says be would
prefer to pay a man 500 to let his
alone.
Although fortunes are being rapidly
accumulated In growing and raising
cattle, vet few are enjoying the enor-

Wiley Moore, Of Live Oak county,
has returned from a trip north with a
lot OF horses. He reports the demand
as poor, and thinks chances for big
money on shipments have closed for the
season.
The hunger after beef by all classes
should cause our cattle men to give tie
best of care to their cattle. An increase
of 100 pounds to the beef steer adds at
least from seven t. eight dollars PER
head to each beef sold.
One hundred good heifer yearlings
which will cost less than 80. 1000, r

years, will make more money than i've
times the amount invested in farms and
farming implements in the same coun-
try.

Western half breeds of good flesh ana
quality, weighing from LOO to 1900
pounds are worth "a. 25 to So. 80, and
We only wonder that prices have not
been forced much lower under the
heavy supply.
Hereford bulls are without a doubt
most impressive sires. A herd in
which bulls of this breed have been
used for a season shows up calves with
white faces and line backs, also they
assume in general characteristics the
make of the Hereford.
We regret to learn of serious differ
ences e the alleged unlawful killing
of a calf in Kinney county. 1t has
already been thought hat Kinney
county cattlemen had been too well
raised to fall out and chide and fight
about u poor little calf.
Many counties located east of the
Tooth meridian that have been aban-
doned by the large ranchmen as no
longer suited for cattle raising, are
now, after a short rest, proving to tie
as good as the best, and deserve the at
tention of small herds.
Mr.. Alexander Robertson, special
correspondent of the Scotsman, pub
lished at Edinburgh, Scotland, was in
town on Tuesday on his way westward.
He ia investigating the dressed beef
trade and live stock interests Of Texas

from Texas to English markets.
The cross bred Polled and Shorthorn
is believed by many the best source to
look to for range bulls. We do moi
think there car be much reliance placed
in a cross Of two different breeds OF
cattle. The defects of each is liable
to show as much, If not more, than the
good qualities. WI do not believe
much in the mixing of breeds to obtain
sires. Where beef is the object we
prefer a thoroughbred sire every time.
This assures an equality, IL not a pre-.
ponderance, of the beef qualities Of the
sire III the progeny.
