PANsIEs AND
The Grand Army Post Preparing for
Decoration Day.

The John F. Reynolds Post of the G.
A. r. held an important meeting last
night and began preparations for the OBJ
servance of Decoration Day, which will
be the thirtieth day of next month, at
which time, according to the rules and
regulations of the organization, it is OBJ
ligatory to decorate the graves of their
departed comrades. In pursuance of
this regulation the Post in Cheyenne will
fulfill their obligation in hat particular
and also propose to go a long ways further
and observe the day with probably as
impressive exercises as have ever hereto
fore characterized any public day in the
history of Cheyenne. The John F. Rey-
nolds Post, which was organized one year
ago last night and now has eighty-three
members, propose to invite the Fire De
partment, the Knights Of Pythias, the
Knights Templar, the Odd Fellows, the
Masons, Old Pioneers, Irish BENEVOLENT
Society and also the military companies at
Camp Carlin and Fort Russell to partici-
pate with them in the exercises of the day.
At the meeting last night the following
were appointed as a Committee of Ar
Engagements: J.. X. Jeffrey, n. j. O'Brien,
j. p. Julian, George H. Brown, j. Rout-
son and &. NJ. Bradley. This committee
will meet this evening at the Office of T.
NJ. Fisher, Adjutant of the post, for the
purpose of preparing a programme for the
occasion. If all of the organizations
named are invited and participate, the
procession that will form and march to the
cemetery it will be the most imposing
pageant that ever marched through the
streets of the Magic City. An effort will
probably be made to secure the attend
ance of 4. X. Stimson, of Denver. Past
Department Commander of the Depart
ment, as orator of the day, and Others also
will no doubt speak on the occasion.

A TIRED TRAMP.
He Boldly Makes Known His Gen.
tlemanly Qualities
And Says He Was Arrested for
Breach of Promise.


Night before last one of the policemen
OF the city picked up Il suspicious looking
fellow who was not only drunk at the
time of his arrest but for two or three
days prior thereto had been wandering
around the city in an aimless way and
was evidently, as one could see at a glance,
one of the worst looking specimens of u
vagrant hat the average citizen would
care to behold. In figure he was tall,
lank and stoop-shouldered, and there was
an inward tendency to his toes. A Prince
Albert coat, dilapidated in appearance,
was buttoned close to his chin to supply a
perceptible deficiency in the matter of
shirt. His trowsers were several inches
too long and were rolled up over Il pair of
brogans that looked like family relics.
His face was lean and hungry looking,
speckled with Wyoming soil, the dullness
only relieved by the brick red color of a
prominent nose. There was about a
weeks growth of hair on his face and the
general tendency of his eyes was toward
his nose. Yesterday morning Officer
Nolan, who did not know of the arrest,
vent to the City calaboose and opened
the door, when the individual appeared to
him.
what are you in here for?" said
Nolan.
We'll, | don't know as | am obliged
to tell. Who are you, sir?"
am an officer, and | want to know
what you are in here for. Are you
drunk?'
Drunk! | would have you to know
that | consider myself a gentleman"
You look like one must confess
How is that2'
Well I guess you have been stealing
something. Who put you in here?'
Il don't know"
We'll, we make short work of tramps
here.
II desire to assure you that | am no
tramp. am a gentleman, sir, and | am
in here for the commission of Il respccta-
Bile offence"
The deuce you are. What isit then. >"
We'll, sir, | am here, at least | was
arrested for a breach of promise on com
plant ofthe father of one the most ac-
complished young ladies in this city"
You're drunk yet.
NO, sir, l am not. What l tell you is
the exact truth. l have offered to do
the fair thing. l have some good mines
over in the park and | am willing
to turn them over to settle the
matter, but that wont do. The young
lady is bound to marry me. She wants
me, sir; she wants me"
II should think she would from the
way you look
Something in the conduct of the man
indicated to Officer Nolan that he really
believed what he was relating. He did
not appear to be drunk and yet Nolan was
satisfied that there was something the
matter with the fellow. He tried to get
him to tell the name of the girl, but he
gave the name of three or four of whom
there are zone such in Cheyenne. Sub
sequently on Il further investigation it was
discovered what Nolan had began to
suspect, that the fellow is a crank. No
charge was brought against him and the
probabilities are that his cranky proclivi-
ties are the result of too much drink. He
will be held for a day or two to see what
turn affairs will take in his case.

CHEYENNE TO BE ADVERTISER.
AspecIaI Correspondent Here TO Gather
the Fac 5.

MIR. Louis Parker, a regular correspond
ent of the Colorado Courier and also of
the .Stnats Zeitang, both leading German
papers of high standing, has come to
Cheyenne from Denver for the express
purpose of gathering together as many
facts as possible in regard to the business
prospects, wealth and growth of this city,
and also for the further purpose Of becom-
ing acquainted with the system and eff
cheney of the schools. This gentleman is
a well known journalist of long experience
and much ability, who is identified, to
some extent, in a financial way with the
Colorado Courier, the leading German
paper of the Far West, and is, as before
stated, a correspondent of the Stdats
Zeitng. The object which he has in
view is primarily to furnish information
to the people of Germany in regard to
this portion of the great borderland and
especially Cheyenne, which has been
heard of and is known by reputation
to many people in the old country.
He says they have heard more or less
about this city in the way of statistics in
regard to how much beer is drank and
brcwed here, etc. but they have also heard
that this is a place where much wealth is
ccntered. There are some wealthy Ger
mans in the fatherland who are anxious to
come over here and pitch their tents in
the Magic City, but the German people
are great believers in education as a civil
zing agency and they would hesitate long
before they locate in any portion of the
mortal heritage where their children could
not enjoy the same facilities for obtaining
an education as they now have, Hence
the importance of looking before taking a
leap in the dark. Mr.. Parker will prob,
ably remain in the city until Monday and
it is to be hoped that all of citizens who
have the pleasure of meeting him while
here will do all they can to aid him in his
work. Mr., Parker paid a visit to the
school yesterday afternoon.

nArcH,s HOTEL.
The Yellowstone Park Hosteiris to be
Opened at Once.

MIR. W. II. Stebbins, of New York, is
in the city and will leave in a few days for
st. Paul, Minnesota. Mr.. Stebbins was
seen by a LEADER reporter in relation to
the great Yellowstone Park hotel of which
he has been appointed receiver. 'Theto-
tai cost of the hotel and surrounding
camps" said Mr.. Stebbins in reply to a
question, was $3.50, 900. OF this amount
Rufus Hatch paid $lO6, 900. Of the bal
ance his partners paid only $4,000 leav-
ing a debt upon the property of about
$4,000. Of this amount about $40, 900 is
owed to the carpenters. who until recently
held possession of the hotel. The bal
ance of the money is due to persons who
provided the furniture and materials for
the building. The money is owed princi-
pally to New York and st. Paul people.
The hotel is $50 feet long, about 100
rooms have already been furnished and
the remaining 80 will be put in good
shape for occupancy by the time the sea-
son opens. Everything about the place
will be in full running order at the earliest
moment that an excursionist will venture
there. The hotel will be in charge of
John II. Mckinney, the well known cattle
man. The difficulties in the way of sight
seeing in the Park have been pretty eff
fectually done away with. After reaching
Livingston, Montana, which is the objec-
tive point on the Northern Pacific, a
branch road runs for sixty miles to the
line of the National Park and thence by
stage the passengers are transferred seven
miles to the hotel. OF course the hotel
is made the point from which visiting ex-
cursionists will ndiate to the different
points of interest. About IT'S miles of
stage travel will include all the points of
interest in the Park. The route is all
laid out and can be covered in about four
days although in six days time the points
of interest can be more satisfactorily ex-
amined. The Government fixes the rate
of charges for everything. There will be
an immense number of excursionists to
the Park this season"

..sTRUCK 1T RICH.v
a New Invention In Which There is a
Fortune.

Information was received in the city
yesterday that a new invention by our
townsman, l.. Kabis, had been entered at
the Patent office in Washington, and az
there is nothing like it in the department
the matter of receiving the patent is only
a question of time and very short at that.
This invention is nothing more nor less
than an attachment to be used on a
billiard or pool table and can be attached
and detached at pleasure from the table.
1t consists of a board Tor any other suita-
Bile material) in which there are thirty
sockets, all numbered, in which billiard or
pool balls can rest securely in their places.
The way the game is played by means of
this is by shooting the balls from any part
of the table lin one side of which there
is an inclined plane) on to the board where
it will necessarily fall into one Of the
sockets which is of course numbered.
The game is to see which of those who
play in the game will make the largest
count in a given number of shots. This
invention can be used on any table and
especially for billiard tables which thou.
sands have in their own private residences
all over the land and will prove q very in
teresting game. 1t looks very much as
though Mr.. Kabis has Struck it rich"
by means Of this invention, for there are
more than 81, 500, 600 billiard and pool
tables in the United States and as this
invention as an attachment will come very
cheap, even though a small proportion of
this number of tables are supplied with
them, it will make a wealthy man of our
townsman Mr.. Kabis.

The Storm and Telegraph.

Storms prevailing east and west of
Cheyenne and the damage thus caused to
the wires made it an exceedingly difficult
matter to obtain a satisfactory Geographic
report last evening. Owing to the poor
way in which the wires worked the night
men on duty at the Western Union Office
had a very rough siege of it last night
but they pulled through with considerable
success where others, less competent,
would have failed.

Bad Features of the Campaign,

There are certainly more unssvory
features of the present campaign
than ever before witnessed in
American politics. Bad blood com
meDced to show il itself at the out
set, and has continued to display it
self up to the present. 1t will con
tinue to do so until the canvass is
closed. SANDERS and counter SLAM
ders, lies, misrepresentation, and a
Wholesale resort to all the meaner
methods OF politicians are the promi-
nent characteristics of the great con-
test. The latest phase is the resort
to mob violence, of which species of
electioneerug we have recently had
some severe examples in the North.
A Republican newspaper is destroy,
ed in West Virginia; hoodlums at
tempt to break up Butler meeting
in Albany; an immense crowd of
roughs defy the authorities and
interfere with a meeting and banner
raising; an attempt was recently
made to shoot St. John, the Prohibi-
tion candidate. It will be great re,
lief when the election is over aud
the country is freed from such dis
graceful scenes, Ficksburg Post.
