utuL.
A little warmer yesterday but still
too much wind to make 1t agreeable.
Several miners, came in from the Sill
yer Crown mines yesterday, bringing
good reports.
Work has not yet been begun on the
gas works which are to be put in over in
the western portion Of the city, but We
understand that steps will be taken liz
this direction very soon.
Mr.. A. Martin is making arrange
ments to start a new lumber yard Just
across the Camp Carlin track. The
fence around the proposed yard is near
ly completed and also the necessary
buildings.
The party who drew the treaty of
alliance between Russia and Roumania
during the late war between the former
country and Turkey is a resident of
Cheyenne and speaks several different
languages.
There was a grand time at the Skat-
ing rink last night. The band was in
attendance and discoursed sweet music
for the merry skaters. As a pleasure
resort the rink still ranks among the
foremost of any in the city.
We have received an invitation to
attend a grand ball at Spearfork, Da-
kota, which is to be given by the G. A.
r. but on account Of dim eyesight
can't tell when it is going TO be given.
However, it Is all right, we'll be there.
Mr.. J. P. Weybrecht is engaged in
repairing and re6tting his planning
mill and carpentering establishment on
the corner of Nineteenth and Eddy
streets. He talks also of erecting an
edition to his already extensive place
of business.
The Mountain Pink company intend
to appear in Cheyenne with Laura E..
Dainty in the title role, on next Thurs
day. Upon the following evening ,Ithe
"Ticket of Leave Man" will be pre-
sented. The company comes well
recommended.
We have heard it suggested that the
temperance people talk of organizing
for the purpose of participating in the
campaign as a distinct political organ
ization. II such should be the case
politics will probably be somewhat
mixed next fall.
Remember the temperance mass
meeting under the auspices of the w.
G. T. U. at the Methodist church this
evening at 7 O'Clock. Good speakers
will address the meeting and it is ex-
pected that the occasion will be one of
unusual interest.
A new G.. A. R. Post named after
General Harvey, has just been estab-
lished, and the members thereof mus
tered in at Denver by direction of and
under the supervision of Department
Mastering officer Jeffrey. The number
OF the post Is so, in the list of posts.
The news Of the confirmation of Hon.
John G. Perry, as chief justice of Wy
oming, which was received yesterday
morning, came somewhat sooner than
was expected. They are getting into a
very commendable habit down there at
Washington, however, of doing things
up promptly.
1t may be exhibiting good taste to
devote a column to relating that
about a poor, unfortunate woman, who
is now dead and gone; which, If any
differences are to be drawn therefrom,
are not favorable to her, but there are
some who think otherwise. Death at
least ought to shield one from such COM
ments.
The laws passed by the late session
Of the legislature will be published by
the LEADER in the regular order in
which they we're passed. If you want
to preserve and have for your future
reference a complete text of the new
laws, subscribe for the LEADER, IL you
do not already take it, and you will
have them in full. They will be found
on the last page of the paper.
The proposition to purchase the Nc
Daniels block is being discussed by the
Knights of Pythias. who design having
a place Of their'own in which to hold
their sessions. Some are of the opin-
ion, however, that it would not be q
suitable place in which to hold secret
meetings as the caves choppers might
come around n ''catch on" to the
secret workings of the organization.
The second mass meeting in 1.-THE cause
of temperance will be held this even
ing in the Methodist church, at 7:3O

ened by exercises Of various kinds, all
tending to the same end. Able ad-
dresses will be delivered and papers
read. All are cordially invited to be
present.
The western portion of the city, more
especially that part which several years
ago was named dublin town. is
building up very rapidly, especially of
late, and the people in that section of
the city think that the water system
ought to be extended so as to afford
them some protection in case of fire.
They complain Of the fact that 1t is
difficult to get their property insured
