" CONGRESS.
Senate.

WASHINGTON, March l7.-VanWyck
offered the following resolution which was
agreed to:
ResOlUed, That the committee ON
public lands be directed to inquire in what
manner the large quantities of the public
lands have become transferred to or
possessed by foreign corporations or syndi-
Gates, and what legislation is advisable
to prevent such transfers or possession.
The bills reported from the committees
were placed on the calendar:
The Hoar committee on Judiciary to fix
the salaries of judges of the United
States district court at 5000.
Plumb's joint resolution appropriating
s250,000 for the suppression of the foot
and mouth disease was taken up and Bay
and addressed the senate. He said that
police powers had always been exercised
by the state and not by the general gov
eminent, and in his belief there was no
authority in the constitution for the power
proposed in that motion. The utter in

parent, but if congress were authorized to
make such an appropriation at all, this
would be followed by a claim for 81, 500,-

accomplish the eradication OF the disease.
Pendleton said he had not been able to
bring himself to the full approval of the

THE CHICAGO" CASE.
One of the Frail Defendants Held
and the Other Discharged.

On Sunday morning Deputy Sheriff
Hosford returned from Sidney bringing
with him Dolly Lee and Virgie Saunders,
the two parties whom it was alleged had
stolen the 5000 from the man alluded to
in Sunday mornings issue of the LEADER,
whose name is S. NJ. Brown. They were
confined in jail until yesterday morning at
10 o'clock when they were brought before
Judge Lee on the charge of grand larceny,
County Attorney Baird appearing for the
territory and j. A. Riner, ESD, for the
defendants, There was a large number
of lockers on in Vienna present, at
tracted there out of mere curiosity for
there were very in attendance that were
naturally compelled to be present. The
evidence SO far as the prosecution was
concerned was confined to the testimony
of s.. NJ. Brown, the party who lost the
money, Deputy Sheriff Hosford and the
hackman, Heath, who had been arrested
OF Saturday night as an accessory after
the fact. We do not suppose our readers
care to read any very elaborate report of
the testimony as it differs very materially
from a sermon or a lecture on
the progress of civilization since
the discovery of the new world. S. NJ.
Brown, the man who, as before related
in this paper, was done up brown, related
his experience. He went to the house
where the defendants resided, was drunk
when he got there, and had $4,000 in his
pocket. After arriving there he managed
to get little drunken han before, and
late at night Thursday went out in com
pany with defendants and another party
and got some oysters. Returned then
and staid there until about Friday evening,
sleeping most of the time. When he got
sober enough to take an inventory of him
sells he missed a $500 bill and two $50.
The defendants had been present frequent
ly during the day. He accused them of
taking the money, and tried to strike one
of them with a chair. They told him he
had given them the money and they had
sent it away but would go and get it for
him. They went and so did the money,
as at heart he had not seen it since.
Heath testified simply to taking defend
ants in a hack to Archer station. Knew
nothing about their money matters, etc.
Hosford related how they admitted to him
that they got the money, but they said
Brown had given it to Dolly Lee, etc.
The prosecution here rested. The de-
PENDANTS testified in their W behalf that
Brown gave the money to Dolly Lee
that he threatened to kill them when he
discovered that the money was gone and
it was through fear of him that they went
to Sidney, etc. Much other testimony
going to show a very complicated state of
affrirs was given.
The case was argued very thoroughly
and logically by both attorneys. Mr..
Baird only asked that Dolly Lee be held
and was willing if the court thought
proper that the girl Saunders should be
discharged which was done. Dolly Lee
was held to bail in the sum of 5000, which
she gave.
Heath's case will probably he heard
to-day at > p. IN.

Important School Meeting.

There was a called meeting of directors
of school district No. l, in Judge
Slaughter's Office, yesterday afternoon,
Those present were Messrs. Slaughter,
Carey, Snow and Holt; also by invitation,
County Superintendent Richl.dso and
Professor Stark.
Judge Carey explained the intention of
the resolution concerning the examination
of teachers which was passed at the last
meeting of the board, and the instruc-
tons to the county superintendent were
so far modified as to obviate the necessity
of examining the old teachers, or in fact
any teachers until the expiration of their
present certificates. What is really de-
sired by the board is a thorough inspec-
ton of the school by the county superin-
tendent, and a report thereof to the board
at an early day. The board then pro-
ceeded to elect a teacher for the johnson
school. Miss Graham, now teaching the
seventh and eighth grades, was designated
to take charge of said school, and Miss
Ida Thomas, now teaching the fifth and
sixth grades, was transferred to the place
vacated by Miss Graham. Miss Julia H.
jenkins was elected to take the place of
Miss Ida Thomas, in the fifth and sixth
grades. Miss Mary Wheeler was
elected to teach the school
near Pease's ranch. The above
mentioned changes in the Cheyenne pub
lie school, were made subject to the appro-
val of the county superintendent and the
principal of said school. Arrangements
were made for opening the school on the
south side (the johnson schooD on Mon
day next. Several bills for furniture, etc,
for the same were allowed and warrants
ordered therefor. The county superin-
tendent was requested to make a search
ing investigation as to the qualifications of
all the teachers now employed, with a
special reference to their capabilities to
impart information and to maintain order
in their several departments, A great
number of applications for positions were
on file, and considerable time was spent in
examining credentials and ~canvassing the
respective claims of applicants. 1t is
thought two rooms will be required in the
johnson school, in which case there will
be an opening for one more teacher, to be
selected in the future.

Col. Luke Murrin is a gentleman who
seems to be constantly in good luck. He
has hosts of staunch friends, and they APP
preciate him for his numerous good quail
ties. Last evening, Tom Mulqueen, Esq,
presented him with two elaborate silver
plated wine-coolers and punch tubs to or
nament his handsome far which is decid-
eddy popular with all those who appreci-
ate the purest of sparkling grape juice
and the best Installations of the vineyards
and fields of France, Spain, Italy and
America. In fact, all the exhilerating
fluids flowing freely from the colonel's
generous ~spiggots are such as truly de-
light the connoisseurs of the choicest wines
of Europe, and whose m%ellowness of body
has been greatly increased through a sea
voyage across the blue Atlantic. Col.
Murrin has added a large and respondent
mirror to his handsome place, where con-
genial spirits most do congregate for mo-
ments of convivial pleasure and the
rational interchange of social thought,
amid the most pleasant of attractive sur
roundings.

SOUL LONELINESS.
Sermon by Rev. H. P. Case at the
Congregational Church.

Inc congregational church, Rev. Mr..
Sanders, pastor, was filled on Sunday
evening, by an appreciative audience that
listened to a sermon by Rev. II. p. Case.
The theme was Soul Loneliness, based
upon the ext selected from Ecclesiastics,
chapter 4, verses 9 and 10.
The speaker said:
Our New West is full of lonely souls.
Many are here separated from old friends
and happy associations, some seeking
wealth, others hunting health. But in
the deepest sense of the word, there never
have been but two lonely beings. One is
the soul in its sin; the other is Jesus
Christ seeking the sinner. There is a
certain natural loneliness resulting from
our constitution as individuals. The babe,
the youth and the developing mind. The
soul struggles; and these are by nature
isolated experiences and action. Accord
ing to the Bible, God estimates a soul as
an individual. He sets it alone in its
moral nature. Conscience is not the
voice of public sentiment but the echo of
God in the individual Hence duty is
personal and responsibility requisite.
Again, God holds the soul alone in
character. Reputation may depend upon
accidental relations. Character, good or
bad, is the residuum of the individuals
choices.
Again, God estimates a soul as alone in
the matter of destiny.
Does one go up the Shining Way?"
He goes not because n mother has so
tenderly and anxiously prayed. God
bless the mother, and He doesl But the
soul enters the heavenly land essentially
because it chooses to; because it enters
through the d~ivinely opened gate, re
pentance and faith"
Does a soul go down and out into the
outer darkness of eternal loneliness 1t
goes not because the priest and Levite"
passed by on the other side; but because
it finally chooses to go out it refuses to
come in.
Sin is the only source of lonliness. 1t
is repulsive from God. 1t makes the soul
a negative pole that is evermore stunning
Gods presence. There is no real com
partnership in sin. To go into the eternal
world still sin stained is to go into utter
lonliness.
The other lonely being is Jesus
Christ. See it in his earth-life. There
was no room for the babe in the inn. His
mother misunderstood the divine showing
of the boy heart. His kinstolk did not
believe him. His nation rejected him,
his disciples forsook him in the hour of
his greatest need. And this had to be,
because he was a sinless Savior. His very
nature separated him from close affinity of
soul with sinners, and his mission was to
tread the w~ine-press alone"
These lonely beings are made for each
other. The lost and dying sheep needs
the Shepherds care, and the loving
Shepherd seeks the lost one, We are
made for another. Our natures are seq
mental. Christ is our complement. We
are the mistletoe, Christ is our strong oak,
the tree of life. We need a pilot through
the thousand isles and the rapids of life.
Christ is the only one who can guide us
through both pleasure and danger. Oh
accept Him and be safe. "Acquaint now
myself with Him and be at peace"
