Dr.. George'C. Kafter received yester-
day a letter from Hon. Homer Merrill,
regarding Wyoming's display at the
Worlds Exposition at New Orleans Mr..
Merrill, who is the Wyoming Commits
sioner at the Exposition, is now in New
Orleans and is anxious to perfect the Ter
ritoriai exhibit. DR.. Rafter has charge Of
specimens collected in Cheyenne, lie has
already received specimens ofvarious kinds
or ores, oils from Jenny's Stockade, and
Indian relies from the collection of Hon.
Harry Oclrichs. Mr.. Bond will send Sc
~leetions from his collection of game birds
of Wyoming, and others will contribute
cufiositier. All specimens will be shipped
without expense to the owner, will be
carefully protected from injury and. in the
event Of any breakage or injury, will be
paid for. Robes, pelts. woods, grains,
ores and everything illustrative Of the re-
sources ofthe Territory, or interesting as
curiosities, are wanted for the Wyoming
exhibit. Those owning such articles are
requested to notify DR.. Rafter at once, as
the specimens must be forwarded without
delay. in order to be placed in position by
the opening Of the Exposition. Wyoming
should lead the Territories in the display
at the Worlds Exposition and the people
can hardly afford to be indifferent or re-
lnctant in contributing to the Territorial
exhibit.

CROOK COUNTY ORGANIZED.
Governor Hale Issues the Commissions to
the Commissioner.


Yesterday afternoon Governor Hale
issued commissions to Messrs. W. +.
Draper. John s. Harper and w. II.
Harlow, as County Commissioners of
Crook county.
Mr.. NJ. w. Pettigrew, editor Of the
Sun Dance Gazette, who has been in the
city several days, representing the people
of the county, will leave to-day with the
commissions. 1t will take him nearly a
week to arrive in Sun Dance, ton days
notice Of the election must be given by
the Commissioners and the citizens of
Crook county will probably be able to elect
their first county officers by December 10.
The county contains l02 square miles
and is settling up with y rapidity which
gives every assurance OF a large and pros
porous community within = short time.
Sun Dance proper contains only about
one hundred inhabitants, but within a
radius Of ten miles 2, 500 people now have
comfortable homes. The town is situated
near the base of the Sun Dance noun
tains and is only a short distance, in a
northeasterly direction, from the geograph-
ical center of the county. 1t will be the
county seat and will doubtless keep abreast
of the progress of the country. The name
is derived from the custom of the Indians
who, in years gone by, assembled yearly
nj the mountain from north, west and
south and there hold their orgies, which
have become celebrated As the Sun Dance
of the Sioux.
The matter ofthe organization of the
county has been agitated for some time.
and the desire of its inhabitants to have a
local organization and the protection which
the presence of officials chosen from the
vicinity affords, has at last been gratiGcd.

Thrown AGAINsr A Posr.
Mr.. !. r. Alter Dangerously Injured al
North Platte.

One day last week as Mr.. 1. r. Alter,
who IS well-known in this city, was riding
behind a spirited hose at North Platte,
the animal became frightned al a piece Of
tin that was caught in one Of the wheels
of the buggy. Mr.. Alter lost control Of
the animal, which ran away and at the
corner Of Locust and Third streets SHE'D
suddenly, throwing Mr.. Alter against a
post, which he struck so violently with
his head that he at oncc became uncon-
scious. He was picked up for dead and
for some time his recovery was considered
improbable. He was injured about the
head, his spine was affected by the shock
and internal injuries, the extent Of which
cannot now be determined, were also in-
hicted.
Mr.. Alter has been under the care of
DR.. Stevenson since the accident and
while the physician considers tho case a
serious one, the symptoms of the patient
during the past twenty-four hours indicate
an improvement in his condition. The
many friends of Mr.. and Mrs Alter in
this city viii learn of the sad accident
with profound regret and will unite in
wishes for Mr.. Alters speedy recovery

THAT DEAD MAN.
The Jury Render Its Verdict and Mas
sey IL Buried.

The Coroner's Jury which was sum
moned to investigate the cause Of the
death Of William A. Massey. the soldier
who was found dead near Ketcham's
ranch. met again Yesterday and finished
its task.
The verdict depended chiefly upon the
testimony Of DIR. Ives, Post Surgeon at
Fort Russell, who Friday night made a
careful examination of the body of Mas
sey. The dead mans stomach and heart
were particularly examined. The former
showed the affects of the excessive use Of
liquors and the condition of the latter
clearly established the fact that the man
was effected with heart disease. The jury
rendered a verdict to the effect that
Massey died from heart disease aggravated
by alchoholism.
He was buried at Fort Russell yestcr-
day afternoon with the usual military
rites

At halfpast . O'Clock yesterday after
noon Mr.. J. X. Jeffrey. County Clerk,
Justice J.W. Fishers of cheyenne and JUS
tice +. w. Foss. Of the Chue, began the
official canvass ofthe votes Of the various
precincts of Laramie county. There are
t~wenty-six precincts in the county, but tho
returns from Jenny Stockade did not
arrive. SO but twenty-five precincts were
canvassed. The count was commenced
under the supposition thatan Of the re-
turns were in, but when the seals were
broken from the returns marked rs those
from Jenny's Stockade, the tally sheet
was found to be a blank. The mistake
was made by the judges At that precinct
who sealed and sent a blank return in
place of the records of the election. As
but thirty-one votes were cast there, the
ballots fortunately could not have had any
vital effect upon the result.
In the county J. NJ. Carey received .
44s votes and W. II. Holiday l,47l, Civ
ing Mr.. Carey a majority Of 977 votes-s
majority but little above that he received
in Cheyenne.
An inspection Of the returns shows
that for the Council Messrs. c. W.

Water Baths.

81 take a sponge bath Of cold salt
water every morning. Is it healthy Is
it better to use fresh waterl"
There is no reason to believe that, for
ordinary bathing purposes, salt water is
any better than fresh. The salt is not
absorbed, and if it were, we take it more
conveniently with our food. Nor does
it have any particular effect ON a healthy
skin.
The uses of water. as applied to the
surface of the body, are o. to cleanse it
GU to equalize the calculations; 81 to
lessen the susceptibility of the skin to
changes of temperature.
The first object that of cleansing
is accomplished by either cold or warm
fresh water and soap. Cleansing with
soap once, or at the most twice a week,
is often enough, for the clothing absorbs
the larger part of the impurities emitted
by the pores. Too frequent bathing,
especially with soap, removes the scarf
skin too rapidly, and unduly exposes the
nerves which ramify on the surface.
Good authorize, believe that in many
cases the nervous system has been in
jured in this way.
circulation is accomplished by miners
ing the body for Il short time in hot
water, by means of bath-tub. Essen
TALLY the same thing is secured by the
vapor bath This brings the blood
strongly to the surface and to the ex-
trcmities of the body, thus relieving any
pressure on the interna! organs and sootn-
ing the system generally.
This plain hot bath may be used for
cleansing purposes, but it is specially
suited 10 the occasional needs Of the fee
bic and to the first stage of a cold. AT
ter the bath the body should be wiped
quickly and the person should pass at
once, without any exposure, to warm
bed. Halt pint of water drank as hot
as can be easily borne, is helpful es-
pccially in case of cold. or if the per-
son has been in any way chilled.
The third object that of lessening
the susceptibility of the skin to changes
of tempcrature-is accomplished by the
cold sponge-bath. Here quickness is es-
sential. The sudden application of cold
contracts the capillaries and sends the
blood from the surface. This is followed
by a reaction which rclaXes and dilates
the capillaries, bringing back the blood
with increased force,
The cold bath is not safe for persons
suffering from heart complaint, nor for
such as are 50 feeble that the reaction
does not readily occur. This reaction
will show itself in glow on the suafacC
Of the skin and in Il feeling of warmth.
The bath should be followed bv brisk
rubbing OF the body with coarse towel

A Bird Country.

The Guatemala, as the commencement
of the narrowing land strip of North
America, accommodates with homes q
great many of the migratory birds, and
that such a country, which, in its tropi-
cal climate on the coasts, eternal springs
in its middle elevation and cold atmos.
phere on the heights, dotted by lakes and
covered by a network of rivers, rivulets.
brooks and brooklets and blessed with
the fruits of both hot and cool temper
atures, and has many creatures peculiarly
its own, needs no eXpatiaton. The
birds, for instance, encountered here are
said to represent 600 species. There are
no eagles, so to speak, but three kinds
of hawks, the same number Of buzzards,
or carrion crows, and six different
marauders at night The sparrow family
is the dominant IN the land, for it num-
bers 40 species. The calibri, or hum.
mingbird, S found in thirty species,
belonging to twenty-eight genera In
the parrot family eight species are known
as Auroras, all of brilliant and metallic
plumage. The quetzal. or quesal. the
most beautiful and striking of all the
Guatemala birds, and which stands on
top of the states escutcheon, forms a
genius by itself. Itinhabts the highest
mountains, particularly in Nerapaz, but
that relentless tyrant, fashion, pene-
trates its craggy fastness butchers it un.
mercifully and ornaments her silly err.
son with the borrowed plumage. Several
hundred of them are thus slaughtered
every year. OF the hooded parrots there
are eight. while the common ones called
loros, are divided into fourteen species
Among the sOnsgters the pitorcal.a small
black bird, living on bananas, plantalns
and similar fruits, and resembling our
catbird. is considered the finest, and
called the nightingale of the country. In
the gallinaceous order, one may mention
/ the pau-ju, a magnificent wild creature
quail in makeup, turkey in size, and
pleasant in color, with a long, slightly
curved and round pointed bill an crest
consisting of fine blue black and white
speckled feathers, of which the first is
five and the last three inches in length
When caught quite young it is easily
tanned and contented in the poultry yard,
but in the first and second pairing season
is sure to steal silently away into the
wilderness. The turkey of the Cordil-
leld>' Cdllcu )dNO ue CdCHO, Is peculiar 10
the highest volcanic SUBMITS. Singu-
larry, the turkey of Peten is confined to
that region, and is of a distinct species.
OF partridges and quails there are seven
and of pigeons seventeen species, not
counting the sea pigeons, waders, as the
heron, crane, shitepoke, sandpiper, snipe,
woodcock, curlew, wigeon, AMI rail or
water-hen, are believed to have more
than $50 species. There isalso variety
among the web-footed bird. -NashrHie
