The Arses,.n Well.

Prof. Stanton says that after several
weeks of unceasing labor, and at an ex'
pense of about 81 per day, during which
time the drilling tools and casing were
stuck fast In the wen, the men en-
ployed have succeeded in recovering all
the casing and tools, and are now pro-
crossing nicely. At q depth Of $50
feet several feet of quicksand were
reached, and they could not get below
1t without caving in and constant dis
aster. At that depth a vein of water
was struck, which rapidly rose ninety
feet, or to within sixty feet of the
surface of the well. This shows
a very important h%ydrostatic pres
sure, and brings the water forty
feet higher than the water in an
old well 100 feet distant. At the same
time, it is not a certain conclusion that
a flowing we'll will be accomplished, yet
it looks very favorable for such a re-
suit. If in drilling still further another
vein of water may be tapped, then it
may come still nearer to the surface.
1t has already cost Prot. Stanton $1,450,
and when the fact exists that $500 is
the contract price for 500 feet, 1t is
readily manifest that he must lose
nearly $1,000 before he completes the
contract. Indeed it is to him a costly
experiment.

Going for the SUNDAY nilI.

The house of representatives resolved
itself into a committee Of the whole
yesterday afternoon at 80 O'Clock,
for the purpose Of considering
bills on the general file, Mr.. Smith
in the chair. The bill introduced by
Mr.. Smith, 81. B. No. SO, to prevent
the Dissertation of the Sabbath, was
very soon reached and the bill was read
through by the clerk with slight inter
ruption.
Mr.. Teshmacber arose and moved to
know how the bill came to be there on
the general file, as some six weeks ago,
or nearly that length of time, he recol-
lected 1t was then considered by the
house sitting in committee of the whole
then Al now. Where had it been all this
time and how did it come up again In
the same way 7 He desired some one
to explain the matter.
Mr.. Grant from his seat)-The bill
at that time was recommlttedIand has
since been again reported back to the
house.
One or two other members also ex-
planned to the same effect, and the read
ing Of the bill was proceeded with and
concluded.
Mr.. Smith lin the chair)-Gentlemen,
you have heard the reading of the bill,
what is the pleasure of the houset
Mr.. Quealy-Mr. Chairman, L move,
sir, hat when this committee arise
they report this back with the recon
mendation that it be indefinitely post
poned.

The motion was put, and a decision
called for, which resulted in favor Of
the motion by nearly an unanimous
vote.
II. B. No. 4S, a bill introduced by
Mr.. Bussard for the same purpose as
the preceding, was then taken up.
No amendments were offered and
there was no discussion. After a 81
lence Of a moment or two after the
reading of the bill was concluded, Mr..
Quealy again arose and said:-
Mr.. Chairman, 1 don't want to make
all Of the motions which are necessary
to be made, but 1t seems that somebody
must make them. L therefore make
the same motion which l did in the
case of the preceding bill. 1 move that

arise they recommend that tins bill be
amended by striking put the word

the word "Goneday." Laughter on al
Sides.
As there vas no second to the mo
tion, 1t was withdrawn. The Original
motion to indefinitely postpone was
then put and carried with only two OF
three dissenting votes, and thus it wat
that the house very summarily disposed
! of these two Sunday bills.

The people Of Cheyenne will one and
all be on dress parade this afternoon
arrayed in their Sunday toga to receive
the advancing army of the victorious
Colonel Mapleson, who Ia steadily ad-
vancing upon u ramparts with his
brilliant b~attalions under the lieuten-
ancies of Gerster and Patti, the sweet
est nightingales who ever piped a mu-
sical note. They come clad in their
silks and their %satins, their broadcloths
and their y~elvets; decorated with their
dazzling diamonds and bedecked with
other bedazzling brilliants.
At 10 O'Clock this morning the gor-
geous opera train will pull out of Dem
yer. 1t is to be in charge OF Mr.. VIM.
81. Firth, chief of the Burlington tray
cling service, and a Union Pacific OH
cial. A delegation Of our prominent
citizens will leave Cheyenne at noon
and proceed about twenty miles beyond
the city to welcome the distinguished
guests in a right royal manner. at
about 2 O'Clock the train containing the
distinguished visitors will steam gaily
upon the depot siding amid the tumults
of applause which will greet it from the
hundreds of sightseers who will be
gathered together at this attractive
spot.
The 9th infantry brass band in full
dress uniform will be drawn up In line
to render airs appropriate to the grand
occasion.
The people and the press of Denver
have been loud and frequent in their
plaudits of Colonel Mapleson and his
grand opera company. Let US render
equal Justice and as handsome an
ovation thereto prop~ortionate to our
numbers as did the good people of the
Queen City to them. Let Cheyenne
thus stand Justly prominent.
After the ovation at the depot, the
people will prepare for the grand event
of the evening. Those who haven't
already secured their seats should do so
at once, as but a moderate choice of
localities remain. The curtain will
rise precisely at eight O'Clock, but a
quarter Of an hour prior thereto, the
splendid orchestra will render some
exquisite music. Just here, 1t
might be well to suggert that
the original Italian Libretto OF
LA Sonnambuls," with a correct Eng

and gems of this splendid and fsscinat-
ing opera arranged as piano-forte solos
can be obtained at Rhodes & Troxell's
drug store, where the bo1-sheet is now
open to patrons desiring to secure seats.
A feature worthy of especial mention
is that fifteen extra incandescent cleo

Daily Republican., 1884-05-12

THERE certainly could be no objec.
tions to the election of Mr.. G. b. Rhoads
for President of the City Council in a
general sense. His ability and charac.
ter, which are not superior to those
qualities in his competitor, freely en-.
little him to theposition, though why he
should be chosen over Mr.. Conrad is
something we cannot understand, un.
less there is more than character and
fitness at stake. Fortunately, it re-
quires no keen foresight to understand
the position.
If Mr. Rhoads had been opposed tc
the Boss and the Water Commission
does any sane man believe that he
would have been permitted a clean walk
over? With all his aftability, apparent
fairness, and good character, he is ir
l flavor Of the Boss and the Water Com
mission and he will not dare deny it
Then what will the people gain by th'
election of Mr.. Rhoads when his vote il
Council will be sure to be cast in favol
of saddling the city with Water Com
mission that will override the will o
the people and give them $4,000 addi
tional taxes to raise. No Democra
who is opposed to Water Commission
can consistently vote for Mr.. Rhoad'
though his character may be above re
proach, and he be as virtuous asCasar
wife.
Daily Republican., 1884-05-12
rbe Is Bons, Choice.

Mr.. G. B. Rhoads, and Mr.. A.. X.
Robinson nominated on Saturday by
the Democrats for the offices respec-
lively of President of the City Council
and City Treasurer, are very respectable
gentlemen, the latter especially being
blessed with an aristocratic mein, and
if they are elected they will no doubt
fill their offices in an able and respecta-
BILE manner. But this is not all there
is in the contest. The rank and file OF
the Democratic party who believe that
the well recognized hard workers of the
party should hold the offices, however,
may have serious objections to confer
ing such offices on those who have done
nothing for the success of the party ex-
cept to cast their votes for it when it
suits them. We are not bit sur
prised that earnest, hard working Demo
Gratis are asking each other what these
men have ever done for their party ex-
cept to cast their votes for it that they
should be chosen to fill the offices OF
honor and profit to the exclusion OF
those who bear the heat and burthen
of the day.
But these who are making these in
quiries may as well hold their peace
They have got no say in the matter.
The "Boss'' willed that the choice
should be so and that is enough. What
business have the friends of Mr.. Sin
giles and Mr.. Grohe to question the mo-
tives of the "Boss?' Do they not
know that they are but the hewers OF
wood and drawers of water, and all
they have to do is to hew the wood
and draw the water until the " Boss y
shall select them to occupy seats in the
synagogue.
