The Home Paper.

Some writer with level head has
these words of truth to say about the
local paper:
The local newspaper is like church;
it wants fostering; then it can reflect
credit on its location. Take your home
paper. 1t gives you more news of i'm
mediate interest than New York or other
papers; it talks for you when other To-
calities belle you; it stands up for your
rights you always have a companion in
your home paper, and those who stand
up for you should certainly be well-sus-
tanned Your interests are kindred and
equal, and you must rise or fall together.
Therefore, it is to your interest to sup
port your home paper; not grudgingly,
but In liberal spirit; as a pleasure,
not a disagreeable duty, but an
investment that will more than pay the
expense

The New Parquet.

The improvements to the Opera
house have been steadily progressing
until they have at last reached what
the general public are most interested
In, namely, the auditorium. The par
auet Is being raised, and, as the new
seats have arrived, this Improvement
will be finished in a few days. The
next play in the Opera house will be
Milton Mobiles, on the 4th and 9th of
February. The money expended in re-
pairs and improvements has already
reached between Ave and six thousand

Preparations are being made to great
extent by a party of capitalists In the
city for an advance OIL the Silver Crown
mining district as o as spring opens.
There are about twenty-five persons in
the company, which intends to put in a
test furnace in the near future, the re-
sult of which will determine whether
or no a smeiter shall follow. The en-
thusiasm exhibited seems to be fully
warranted by the present outlook and
letters are being received daily from
eastern capitalists who are rapidly be-
coming interested in u mines and
who seem eager to invest therein their
surplus funds. The coming spring and
summer promise to be of unusual
activity among the mines Of Wyoming,
not only in this vicinity, but all over
the territory. "Booms'' are predicted
for many camps and the result will, we
hope, astonish the most sanguine.

A bill is now pending in the council
to prevent the indiscrlminate use OF
opium in this territory, or rather, to
amend the law as it now stands in
some respects. Among other things,
1t provides that all opium, pipes and
other utensils connected with the bust
ness, shall be coniscated when found
In the possession Of parties using the
same and sold; the proceeds to fall to
the school fund, etc. There Is but
slight probability Of the school fund
being very largely increased by this
provision in the bill, for but few people
would care to buy that which would be
liable to c~onascation again. as they
might thereby lose what they pay for
the same, and the fact Of the i'm
plements being found in the possession
OF any person would indicate that they
were being used by such person.

There are several persons in Chey-
enne who think seriously OF making an
effort to get the general government to
assist, at least, in building suitable
buildings here in Cheyenne for the
legislature to meet In, etc., and 1t is
said that some are willing to contribute
to q certain extent to that end. One
thing is certain, there ought to be
suitable buildings provided by the
general government or by the territory,
especially a capitol In which the legis-
lature can hold its sessions.

How often we hear people coughing,
hacking and splitting, and yet those SO
troubled seem to think nothing of it,
until some Of their friends say to them:
"Why, Joshua, Polly, Maria, or what
eve their anne may be, show poor
you are getting; your cheeks and eyes
are sunken, skin looks yellow, and do
not look like the same person as when
L saw you last" Reader, this Is all
caused by neglect In not breaking up a
slight cold as o rs it appears, which
can be easily done by purchasing and
using a bottle Of Hale's honey of bore

Most Wonderful Thing In the West.
Mr.. Walter Forbes, just returning
from the west, said: 1.-THE most won.
derful thing in the west is the rapidity
with which the small towns are build
ing water works. You can hardly find
a town of three thousand to ten thous-
and inhabitants without completed or
projected water works. The usual
system ia a central reservoir, into which
the water is pumped and from which it
is fed by pressure"
"What does such a system COST"
"From $4,000 to $4,000. The towns
usually issue six per cent. bonds. This
entails annual interest of 81, $500 to So
900. The water rents more than pay
this, besides expenses. n-Philadelphia
