Des Arc, in Prairie county, and after the
execution his body was delivered to
his father, who started in wagon with the

he was nearly frightened out of his wits by
hearing groan escape from the lips Of the

whisky down the throat of the supposed

had opened his eyes, and by the time his
fathers home in Prairie county was reached

Neuralgic Rheumatism is the hardest

Neuralgia Rheumatism is the hardest
kind to treat. The only way to get at it
is to go right for the cause of it. The

mind Athlophoros moves directly on
the enemy in the blood. 1t purges the
vital fluid of the poisons and acids which
give rise to neuralagic pains and infam-

begins you feel the pain departing. and
by the time that work is done the disease
has fled.

At , o'clock yesterday afternoon an
alarm of fire was given for the first time
in some months. The cause of the alarm
was an incipient fire which started in the
roof of the residence of A. H. Reel. Esq,
on Sixteenth street. The sparks from a
chimney found a Judgment among the
shingles and a %smouldering fire was thus
started. A man passing the house OBJ
served the smoke and gave warning. A
few buckets of water thrown from the
apex of the roof extinguished the sparks
and prevented a fire. No damage was
done. The various hose companies and
the hook and ladder company responded
promptly to the alarm, but their services
were not needed. Had the fire started
late at night the result would undoubtedly
have been disastrous.

The celebrated case of the school dis
trict up near Fort Laramie, known as
School District No. 8. came to an untime-
ly end yesterday, Judge Lacey sustaining
the demurrer, which threw the case out
of Court
1t will be remembered that last Sum
mer the Sun contained articles rejecting
upon Mr.. l. Bettelyoun, claiming that he
was a defaulter because as Treasurer of
the school district above mentioned. he
failed to turn over the school money to
his successor. Mr.. Bettelyoun's real rea-
son was that he did not consider his sue
cessor had been lawfully elected, and that
he was the legal Treasurer. Then the
school district began a suit against Mr.
Bettelyoun, and the s%ureties on his bond,
A. P. Arbuckle and e. c. Charlton, to
recover the sum of $4,000, which, it was
alleged, Mr.. Bettelyoun should have
turned over, claiming that he had appro-
priated it to his own use.
1t will be seen from this that the real
question in the case was as to who was the
Treasurer of School District No. 5,
Mr.. B~ettelypun's attorneys demurred
to the petitionSn the ground that the
school district had no authority to com
mence or sustain the suit. The demurrer
was argued some time ago, and Judge
Lacey's decision sustaining the demurrer
throws the case out of Court, SO that Mr..
Bettelyoun is still the Treasurer.

A team belonging to a Mr.. BONNER
ran from the School House on the South
Side yesterday and, separating as far as
the harness would permit. passed over a
hydrant which has recently been placed
not far from the School House. The
front axle of the wagon struck the hydrant
and cut it off even with the ground. The
wagon was wrecked and a force of men
was Immediately put at work placing an
other hydrant in position.
Yesterday morning a team attached to
an express wagon ran from Sixteenth
street and turning northward was last
seen near the pump house of the City
Water Works, still going northward at
their best speed. A dog ran beside the
team, keeping pace with the horses just
as it would had they been driven. How
the runaway ended was not learned.

The Nun of Kenmarc is a little lady,
apparently about the meridian of life,
somewhat inclined to flesh, with an ex-

a pronounced, well proportional nose, in

cles, and was clad in the dress of her or
der, consisting of Il black gown, with a
hood Of the same material, trimmed with
white lace, that covered her head, leaving
EXPOSED only her gentle and refined face,
with its soft brown eyes. o nthe front of
her gown were embroidered in white the
insignia of her order-a dove, with an
olive branch, surmounted by a cross, the
whole surrounded by the device. "Et
a, terra par homiaibus bonde rolimtatis."
She explained that the peace order, of
which she was the Superior, had been
especially founded by the Pope.

nIsToRY OF WYonIINC,


Prominent Citizens.
The History of Wyoming has been for
some time in course of preparation. The
work, which is designed to be very elabo-
rate in its character, was originally pro-
jected by Messrs. Wilkerson & Brown, of
Chicago. Mr.. Brown, however. has very
recently retired from the firm. which
leaves the exclusive management in the
hands of Mr.. P. NJ. Wilkerson. The lit
erary portion of the work will be per
formed by Ex-Governor John w. Hoyt.
In this connection the appended card
from ~wcll-known gentlemen will be of in
terest:
To THE PUBLIC:
The undersigned citizens of Cheyenne
take pleasure in saying to the people of
Wyoming Territory that the ENTERPRISE in
which Mr.. P. NJ. Wilkerson, of Chicago,
Illinois, is now engaged, the preparation
of "A History of Wyoming ard Its Re-
sources" is one in which every citizen of
the Territory should take a lively interest.
The value and importance of such a work
are, of course, largely dependent upon its
accuracy. The pioneer history of every
country is necessarily difficult of prepare
ton, because Of the imperfection or entire
want Of authentic records, and the general
chaotic condition of things attending all
new and unorganized societies. Such a
history, to be reliable, not only requires
much conscientious labor and care in OBJ
tanning and verifying the facts which
make the body of the work, but it must
be prepared at a time when the personal
knowledge of yet living witnesses can be
drawn upon. 1t gives us pleasure to say
that this history of the Territory has been
undertaken in good time, and having care
fully noted the plan of the work and the
arrangements whereby the material for
thu history is being accumulated, and hav-
ing also seen the contract with Ex-Gov-
ernor Hoyt, for its literary execution, we
feel fully justified in saying that we be-
lieve the enterprise was conceived and is
being conducted in entire good faith, and
that the history, when completed, will be
Of great value as a permanent and relia-
bic storehouse of accurate. historical
knowledge, not only to our own people,
but also to all other persons who may
seek a knowledge of the Territory for set
Element, investment. or for other reasons.
We hope every citizen of the Territory
will aid in furnishing all facts within his
knowledge, 50 that the work may be what
it should be-a veritable history of the
Territory and its resources.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union on The Defensive.

The Laramie Boomerang Of Monday
evening contained the following with re-
gard to a well known lady and temperance
worker;
What has become of Mrs. Fixen? is a
question that worries the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. At the APP
pointed hour for the lecture Saturday
evening the audience began to gather,
n found only n lamp burning, and no
lecturer The last heard from her she was
In Cheyenne, fum which place she had
sent on paper for billing the town. She
wrotethat she would come up on a freight
train in time for the lecture, but she
failed to put in an appearance, nor has
anything been heard from her since. The
lrreyerent suggestion has been made that
she Is on a spree in the capital city. At
any rate, it is evident that Mrs. Fixcn's
way of doing business needs fixin'
badly
Investigations made here yesterday lead
the CONCLUSION That the boomerang Is in
erGr. Mrs. Fixen is in Colorado where
the scenes of her present labors were Sc
lected some time ago, and published in
the official paper of the Ladies' Christian
Temperance Union. The Cheyenne branch
of the Union has endeavored to have Mrs.
Fixen lecture in this city, but she could
not come here until her Colorado engage
ments had been filled. She has not been
in Cheyenne, and, therefore, could not
have written any letters or made any en-
gagements from this city.
Shei is highly recommended by person
al acquaintance here and the allegations
made by the Boomerang are believed, by
them, to be the result Of some strange mis-
take.
