From present appearances it looks ex-
tremely doubtful whether there will be a
term of court before next November.
Assuming that the President will nomi-
nate SOM one for the position of Chief
Justice of Wyoming within a day or two,
it would be ~undoubtedlv a week before he
would be confirmed. Then the chances
are that it would be a month at least | c.
fore the prospective Chief Justice, wlo-
ever he might be, would be ready to leave
his home Especially if it should happen
to be in the East and COM out to this
field of judicial labor, and after having
reached here and taken the oath of office
it would be thirty days at least before a
special term Of court would be convened,
and that would bring it up to about the
middle of September or within about
seven weeks Of the time fixed by Saw for
the converting of the November term.
This view of the situation is not, of
course, based on the supposition hat the
appointce is a resident of Wyoming, for
in that event. and everybody hopes that
such a thing may transpire, there could of
course be a term of court right awa7.
The chances apparently are, however, that
there will be no court until November.

Rev. DR.. i. s.. Chapman returned home
yesterday, from a s%oiourn of nearly a
months duration in different portions Of
the East. While absent he attended the
session of the National Sunday School
Association which was held in Louisville,
KY, and did much to enlightcn the mem
bers from the far East regarding the
character and disposition Of the natives of
this portion of the country. He also Wis
led his old congregation in Dayton, o.,
and spent several days in Iowa attending
a college commencement, at which he de
livered one of the addresses. During his
absence the degree Of D. D. was conferred
upon him by the Lebanon Valley, Pa,
college, Rev. DR.. Chapman returns in
good health and spirits, and his congrega

There is considerable activity among
those who are looking ehe4d to the ac-
quirement of land under the various acts
Of Congress by which parties can acquire
title to the public domain, and all su h
are making haste to file on such trac. $
and quantities as they are entitled to.
The reason for this unusual anxiety in re-
gard to land matters is very obvious-tl e
desert land act, the tree culture act, and
the presumption also, will without doul t
be repealed by Congress inside of the next
ten days. The bill for this purpose passed
the United States Senate on Wednesday,
and ere this is pending in the House of
Representatives. There seems to be a
determination TO pass the bill repeating
these acts before the adjournment, and it
looks very much as though it is only a
question of a very few days.

There is considerable talk among some
of those who are apparently interested in
the matter over the organization of Crook
county, and it is said by some that the
majority of the people there are really not
in favor of it at this time. The petition,
however, is being circulated, and it is oniy
a question of a very short time when it
will be ascertained and definitely known
whether the people there desire it or not,
as late advices from that part of the ter
ritory are to the effect that it would take
but a very short time longer to settle the
question. In the meantime nothing has
been learned here so far as known as to
how many signatures have been obtained
to the document.

Lo rs or LAUGHTER.
RIce's Surprise Par y Give a Surpris-
ingiy Good Performance

The good people who witnessed Pop at
the Opera House last evening, need no
words of ours to convince them that they
saw a remarkably funny and entertaining
performance. The plot of the story rs
presented was delightfully."- airy, yet still
had substance enough to make place for
some spccialties of song, dance and char
acter acting of so excellent a character and
so ably rendered as to make the Surprise
Party anything but Il stupid one, At the
outset the Mosaic wasn't so polished
and varigated as it might have been.
The "SOutherner' was as he himself well
said, rather slow" "Jcb Smart was
more STACEY than smart, and even "P0p'
was not as bright as we believe the pos
SCISSOR of the bubbling genius of the dra-
matte author should be. Later on, when
the "~Southerner' became lost to
view and "Jeb Smart" matcrializei
as Romeo" and Pops lively
spirits came to his aid, the Surprise Party
frightened up and its closing e were
lively enough to please the veriest cynic.
The specialties were in the main excel
lent. Misses Stembler, Hanlcy and Fisch
as the Tyrolean warblers had to MARBLE
again and again to satisfy the audience,
and Miss Stembler, as Sophia, in the
song, For Goodness Sake, Don't Say |

According to what now seems to be the
calculation, our people will will have an
opportunity of witnessing a charge and
firing battery en- the evening of the Fourth
of July, as it is intended that the Grand
Army will go through the moous operandi
of making an advance under arms on a
hostile battery. In other words, they
will fight a sham battle and go through
all the and movements that
are incident to a genuine battle, except
that the cannons of the defenders and the
muskets of the attacking parties will be
loaded only with blank cartridges. Even
in this event, and with all the precaution
that can be taken, the chances are that
somebody will get hurt.

Our Greeley neighbors are, on the
whole, a very economical and prudent
people, but once in a while they get a lit
tie extravagant, especially when they
spend their money for looks. Last year
the people down there concluded that
they would build a court house, one
which would cost about $50, 900, and
even at that moderate sum many of the
good old men who always have an eye
open to the matter of expenses and taxes,
said they thought that was ''tarnel high"
But the court house was built and finished
off in a most substantial manner, and
when this much had been accomplished
the court house began to look pretty in
the sight Of the honest and temperate
G~reeleyites, and they began to feel proud
of it. Finally some one suggested that a
little frescoing for the court room would
not be a bad thing. The motion was
seconded and carried, and the work was
begun. TIE longer they worked at it the
prettier it looked, and so they kept at it
forgetting all about the expense, until
they expended $4,000 in frescoing the
court room alone. They then concluded
to wait a little before they done any more
OF that kind of work, and now they are
just beginning to get mad and accuse
each other of being responsible for what
the old fellows now characterize openly

A new order of things has been inaugu-
rated in regard to the payment of men
who are in the employ of the city doing
street work. These men are to be paid
out of the street and alley fund of the
city, under the direction Of the chairman
of the committee on streets and alleys.
c. w. Riner is chairman of this commit
tee. and upon the request and suggestion
of Street Commissioner O'Brien arrange
ments have been made whereby they get
their pay IN Saturday night instead of
Monday morning, in accordance with the
prevailing custom, which, as a matter of
course, pleases them greatly. Last even
ing twenty six men, who are in the en-
ploy of the city, were paid off by City
Treasurer Bergman and great was their
rejoicing when they received their money.
