Grand Army Matters.

At the meeting of the Grand Army last
night it was determined to raise money
enough by subscription to build a suitable
monument for the soldiers buried IN the
Cheyenne cemetery. The contributions
are to be entirely voluntary and it is to be
hoped that a generous support will be
given to the cause which is certainly a
laudable one, by the citizens.
Acommittee was appointed to assist in
raising the funds, the members Of which
are j. H. Goddard, j. W. Fisher, w. D.
Pease, A. c. Snyder and N. j. 0'Brien.
A committee was also appointed to make
the necessary arrangements to attend the
encampment ofthe Department of Colo.
RADIO, to be held at Colorado Springs on
September 80. As Wyoming is attached
to this department. there should be a
ereditable showing made at the reunion.
Whatever fault the people of the Centen-
ial State may have, it cannot be charged
that the Grand Army wa ever deficient
in hospitality, and Wyoming will certainly
| receive a warm welcome.

ANOTHER INSPECTION.
A Party of Railway officials Arrive
Yesterday.
They Visit the Shops and Examine
the Rolling Stock.
The Object is to Inform Themselves
Of Its Condition.

The new management of the Union
Pacific Railway is evidently determined TO
understand the condition of the road com
pletely. Sometime ago Charles Francis
Adams, Jr., the President of the road
made a trip over the entire system for the
purpose of obtaining information of its
condition. Mr.. Adams trip was rather
hastily made and it was thought that the
information obtained was not very dein-
lite. Soon afterwards it was found that
there was a change in the management
and that s. H. H. Clark, who had been
General Manager for eighteen years, had
resigned, and was succeeded by Samuel
Galloway, who had been connected with
the company a short time. Upon assum-
ing the Office of General Manager, Mr..
Galloway summond all the Superintend-
ents to Omaha for a conference.
Yesterday morning a Directors' car ar
rived with the Denver train, containing
George c. Kimball, formerly with one of
the Eastern roads; 1. H. Condor, Super
intendent of motive power on the Union
Pacific, and George F. Labaugh, General
Storekecper of the road. The party came
here from Denver, where they had been
several days.
Soon after their arrival they began a
tour Of inspection, visiting the yards,
shops and other buildings of the COM
pany. The machinery, rolling stock and
fixtures were carefully examined. The
party made no cursory examination, but
evidently meant business.
A LEADER representative interviewed
several of the party. They stated the
object Of the tour was that of inspection
only and that they knew nothing of the
conference between Nh. Galloway and the
superintendent at Omaha. AT length
the reporter found Mr.. Kimball and tried
to interview him.
Mr. Kimball stated that the trip was
one for the purpose of informing the COM
pany of the condition of the rolling stock
and like property, and had no other i'm
port. He was taking the trip for the
pleasure of having a racket with the boys.
He was not connected With the Union Pa
ciic.
Mr.. Kimbal is regarded an expert in
these matters. SThe party left for Ogden
last night.

Have Not Sold Their Claims.

DR.. George B. Graf. of the firm Of
Graf & Rogers, of Omaha. who have in
terests in the oil claims in the Rattlesnake
Mining District, was in tow yesterday.
On being approached by a LEADER repre-
sentative, he said:
There is no truth in the statement
that we have sold our claims to a London
syndicate. 1t is true that we have made
arrangements to mortgage the property to
some English capitalists for a large sum,
every dollar of which is to be spent in its
development. We own 1000 acres OF
oil land in that locality and can show a
United States patent for u large portion
oft"
There has been too much slush written
about the matter. l believe the property
to be a good Investment or l would not
put nay money into it, but there is no use
in trying to boom it." DR.. Graft left fol
Omaha last evening.

The Laramie Mennerchor was organ
ized on January 2, 1882, at the residence
of A Rading, of Laramie. The society
met at his house until it became necessary
for larger quarters. After changing its
location it was determined to fit up a hall
in the old Coop store. Finally the
society, now consisting OF some eighty
members, had the second story of Fred
Hesse's new brick store fitted up for a
permanent hall. The society have now
become fairly settled in their new quar-
ters and have one of the finest places of
its kind in the West. They are deserv-
ing of prosperity.

The sidewalks to be Laid.

AT the last meeting of the Common
Council there were reported some twenty
eight delinquent owners who had failed to
put down sidewalks when ordered 80 to
do by the chairman of the committee.
They viii be given until the end of next
week to comply with the order and then,
if they fail to obey, the authorities will
order the work done and make the owners
pay for it.
The work of putting down new walks
is being done rapidly, and on almost
every street in the city can be found the
marks of improvement. And it is needed.
In many places the walks in fronto some
of the business places were a disgrace to
the city. There is plenty of chance for
improvement and it is to be hoped that
the good work will go steadily on.

A Judge Who Extended a Reckless In
vltation.


From the Arkansaw Traveller.
Several weeks ago, while Judge Gaplin
was out on a fishing excursion, he took
shelter, during a rain storm, in the house
of old Andy Spillers. The old man,
aware of his guests high position, made
extra efforts to entertain him, and after
the storm had subsidized, accompanied him
to the river and caught a string of fish for
him. The jurist expressed in warm
terms his gratitude, and, upon taking his
departure, said:
MY dear sir, l should be pleased.to re-
ceive a visit from you in the city, and let
me say. that should you come thither, l
shall deem it a pleasure to entertain you"
But you are such a high man in town,
Jedge2"
Nonsense, my dear sir. l am only a
man, and l beseech you to have no hesit-
ancy in approaching me"
20, l amt afeerd Jedge, l don't hang
back for nobody"
you are right" exclaimed the Judge,
Goodbye, and don't forget to call upon
me"
The other day old Spillers came to town,
and, hearing that the Judge was holding
court, he said to his companion:
Come on, and less see him. l amt
no Summer coon, let me tell you, an IN
show what a 'portant man l am. o, you
stick to me, and you'll find yourself all
right among these town folks"
When they entered the court room the
Judge was engage in delivering an i'm
portant ruling. In the case of Hamil-
ton VS.. Chadson, - said he, ''the Court,
and l think with much wisdom, held
Hello, Judge" exclaimed old Spill
lers.
Everybody looked around, and the
iurist, shocked almost from the woolsack
oil more properly speaking, considering
the influences which brought him to Ar
kansaw, the carpet bag lowered his spec
tacles and gazed in the direction whence
came the voice.
Hello, Jedge,' repeated Spillers,
pressing forward.
Mr.. Sheriff, arrest that man."
What, you don't know me, [ reckon.
Dun forgot old Andy Spillers? Don't
you reeolleck o how we had to drive the
cob stopper inside the jug afore we could
git at the Ticker? Don't you know how 7
cotch the fish for your"
These expressions fell like burning
Goals on the judge. He was a candidate
for reelection on the Prohibition ticket,
and had, upon returning from the
country, boosted of his skill as a fisher
man.
"Where is the sheriff. demanded the
judge.
Gone out, - someone replied.
"Jedge, you can't put up on SIGH a
joke on me. Come on, Ben, and lets lift
him from behind the box
Leave the room, - roared the Judge.
WHAT said old Spillers, stopping
and gazing in surprise at the judge. IF
l hadn'ter thought my comp'ny was wei
come l wouldn'ter come. Reckon you've
forgot how you soaked my ticker. Fine
man, come out in the country an git on a
hurrah an beg n Teller to come to see you
an when he comes fling up yer head an
snort like a fve-year-old. The sheriff
arrived and seized the old fellow.
Don't put him in jail, Mr.. Sheriff, but
see that he goes home"
That's all right, jedge. Reckon you'll
come out that when you wanter git on an
other rip-snorter. Good-by, old turn
coat. Ketch you out my way, an III
mop up the face of the yearth with you. y
The old fellow will be avenged, for the
Prohibitionists have declined to support
the Judge.
