An Important Step.

The Union Pacific railroad company
has commenced at North Platte to con-
struct westward wire fences on both sides
of its track, and it is intended so to fence
it all the way through to Ogden. 1t re-
quires no extraordinary process of reason
ing to demonstrate to the mind the i'm
portant bearing this step will have upon
the cattle interests of Wyoming. 1t has
been the hope, wish and desire of many Of
III citizens for years that the company
would fence the road, but now that we are
met face to face with the fact of its so
doing it looks a little different when we
come to consider the matter. Ever since
the territory was organized, and before as
well, the cattle on these vast plains have
been permitted practically to roam at will
from the North Platte in this particular
portion of the territory to the South
Platte, and even beyond in u neighbor-
ing state of Colorado.
The erection of this fence will practi-
cally be to place a barrier between the
HUNS anu IcIuS lOItu u lle TdllTOiu ana
those on the south. There may and
probably will be openings or drive ways
left open at stated intervals through which
cattle can roam Or be driven, but after all
especially during the prevalence of severe
storms in the winter when the cattle,
horses and sheep naturally drift with the
storm these openings hat may be left
will be of little account, and it will be
found that practically a barrier has been
interposed which will almost totally stop
the drifting of cattle across the Union
Pacific. Whether or not the construction
of this. fence will be beneficial to the great
stock interests ofWyoming, and especially
of this portion of the territory, we do not
at this time undertake to predict. 1t is a
matter well worthy of the consideration of
our stOckmen.

The First Presbyterian church.

The annual meeting of the members
and patrons of the First Presbyterian
church of this city, occurred at the lecture
room Monday evening. Rev. Z. S.
Chapman called the meeting to order and
stated the purpose for which they had
been assembled. R. n. Heath was Sc
lected as secretary. After the singing of
the hymn Il Love Thy Kingdom Lord"
the pastor led in prayer.
On motion of Hon. +. s., N. Morgan,
it was decided to re-incorporate the So
ciety as provided by a recent act of the
Legislature.
1t was decided to adopt the system of
rotary eldership, electing four elders to
serve for one, two, three and four years.
The meeting her proceeded to ballot
for elders, which resulted in the election
Of j. t. jenkins, H. B. Patton, James
Black and A. G. Mcleod.
The following named persons were
elected trustees to serve for one year: A.
II. Swan, A. r. Converse, George Nc
Swain, John w. Collins, F E. Good
rich, A. G. McGregor and h. n. Heath.
The session were directed to appoint a
financial committee.
j. f. Jenkins was elected treasurer.
The following named persons were
elected ushers: 7. V. McCandlish, VIM.
Ford, A. w. jenkins, II. +. Renick, +.
L. Goodrich and John McGregor.
The selection of dcacons and deacon
esses was referred to the session.
The following resolution was adopted:
ReSolUed, That our thanks are due and
are hereby most sincerely rendered to
Messrs. G. A, Searight, A. H. Swan, A.
r. Converse, L. Maggie, w. w. Corlett
and w. H.. Hubbard, for their very able
and protracted services as members of the
board of trustees of this church which
have brought to completion the great
work Of providing us with a c~ommodious
and attractive house of worship, and
placing u society in a thoroughly pros
porous condition, and we pray that they
may be richly rewarded, in temporal and
spiritual prosperity, for their services and
liberality, and we regret that absence from
our city and the presence of other duties
deprive us of the further services of some
of them, in the relations in which they
have been so valuable to us.
The financial condition of the church
was found to be highly satisfactory, and
all the interests and workings of the So
ciety very prosperous. The proceedings
were i~ntcrspersed with singing and the
meeting closed with prayer by Secretary
Morgan.

The CONGREGATIONAL soelable.

There was a goodly attendance at the
Congregational church last evening and a
general good time was enjoyed by those
in attendance. The gathering took place
in the main auditorium of the church.
but the basement was invaded by the lit
tie folks, while the gallery upstairs was
graced by the presence of the young
ladies who we're inclined somewhat to be
mischievous and threw down upon the
defenceless heads of the more sedate ones,
wads of paper, book covers, etc.
The matter of renting the pews was
under consideration. Many were taken,
and when the meeting adjourned, as it did
to attend the oyster supper at the Metho-
dist parsonage, but few of the..pews re
manned untaken.

A Pink.

Regarding this fine dramatization,
which is to be presented at our opera
house tomorrow evening, a recent issue of
the Cincinnati Enquirer says; Large
audiences greeted "A Mountain Pink, at
the Queen City, at matinee and evening,
yesterday. There is much merit in the
play. 1t is picturesque and romantic, full
of good strong comedy and unctuous
acting. 1t is a play hat pleases all parts
of the houre, and goes with screams of
laughter and good hearty applause, the
curtain being rung up several times on
each act, all of which end with strong and
fitting climaxes. The company is an ex-
ceptionally good one"

Day before yesterday a book agent, a
stranger in the city, marched confidently
up to the court house thinking of course
that he would find customer or two there
at all events. He went through the hall
until he came to the door of the office
lately occupied by our late chief justice,
and knocked loudly, but there was no
response. Again he tried to arouse some
body from within but with the same
result. Observing Judge Bergman, Mr..
Jeffrey and Joe peering out ofthe door in
the direction where he stood he politely
advanced and inquired:
do any of you gentlemen know where
1 will find Judge Chambers he in
quired.
Judge Chambers has gone east to look
after some business matters of considera-
BILE Importance, was the reply.
How long has he been gone and when
will he return2" he anxiously inquired.
Cant tell you, but he may be back
tomorrow. Better come up then and
you will find him very likely" said Joe.
Thank you; good morning" and the
book man took his departure.
Had he scanned the sign over the door
which reads, Judges Chambers" he
might have inquired for some other
judicial functionary and not have created
quite so much amusement among the
Hboys."
