Another Very Successful Entertain-
ment by the DAYS.

Owing to the delayed arrival Of the
train from the west tile Days did not
arrive in time yesterday to give a mat
inee, but they appeared to a large au-
dience in the opera house last evening,
when the absurd and very funny athletic
comedy Of Vacation was given. The en-
tertainment was a success and the large
audience was more than delighted. Ex-
tended mention Of the Days, and Kdca-
ton has recently been made and suffice it
therefore, to say that the Days thorough
ly appreciate the spirit Of the times and
give an entertainment consisting Of "four
screams and . Shrek, CT a hundred laughs
in a1hnndred minutes, !" as the adyer-
tisements say. The sole purpose of Kaca-
hon is To amuse, and the. Days. by
ability and hard, conscientious work, more
than accomplish that object As usual
the audience arose almost en- massc dur.
ing the closing scene, and by the time
the curtain fell a large proportion Of those
present were passing out-a piece Of
boorishness for which Cheyenne is be-
coming known among theatrical people.

THE CHICAGO CATTLE MARKET.


From our special Correspondent
CHICAGO, Feb. Ie.-The live stock
market during the week Just closed has
been firm. Trade in shipping cattle
started out slow. The uncertainty as to
when the snow blockade would be raised
and permit them to move u their pur-
chases, should they make any, deferred
shippers from investing and practically left
the market to dressed beefmen. Hence
in the absence of the usual competition
the tendency was toward weaker feeling.
The prospect Of continued light receipts,
however, served to buoy up holders
and they successfully resisted the down
ward pressure, although rough halffatted
lots were pretty hard to move. Later on
the business gradually picked up, and by
the time the eastern railway lines were
once more in good working order, values
were advancing steadily. The number Of
arriving cattle was not more than
half an average and buyers took hold in il
confident way. Anything at all attractive
to shippers was held at an advance Of
2O(935c., during the middle days, but as
the week drew to a close increased re-
ceipts broke the market down about l0(6
lac fromthe top, though the demand con-
tinued good. Good to choice grades
finished at s. 4O(96 90. No extra
beeves were offered and quotations
for that ciass were nominal at
SC 4O96 GO. Supplies consisted
largely Of common to good sorts,
weighing from l.oS0 to ], 300 ib for which
the ruling prices were 81 COOS co. while
some rough, undesirable lots were taken
by dressed beef men at 81 o0@4 40.
Butchers stock has been very strong
with both butchers and cannefs liberal
buyers. Supplies of COWS, bulls and such
other sorts as these two classes of purcha-
sers seek have been comparatively
light and the yards were stripped each
day. Prices gradually advanced about
l0@15c Cows at the close were salable
at g. 1904. so, for inferior to choice; bulls
at$3@4.25, and useful little steers at SAC
4.50.
For stockers and feeders there has been
a good inquiry, but the difficulty of ship
ping them outchecked any tendency to
active trading. Prices were about steady
at So. 50@4.25 for stockers and $49465
for feeders.
Sheep started dull, but when it became
possible to ship there sprang up a fair de-
mand from the eastern trade, under
which the market for all decently fatted
lots developed a frmer tone. Inferior
and common sorts were as much neglect
ed as ever and about as low as at any
time this season. Sales were on a basis
of 50 25@4.60 for inferior to choice quail
tiles.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
How many boys and girls know how
sleigh bells are made? The little iron bal
is too big to be put through the holes in
the bell, and yet it is inside. How did il
get there2
This little iron ball is called the ling
let" When you shake the sleigh b ell
it %iingles. When the horse trots the bell,
jingle, jingle, jingle. In making this bel
the jingle is put inside a little ball of mut
just the shape ofthe inside of the bell
Then a mold is made Just the shape o
the outside of the bell.
This mud ball, with the jingle inside, il
placed in the mold of the outside anc
the melted metal is poured in, which fill
up the space between the ball and the
mold. When the mold is taken off you
see a sleigh bell, but it will not ring, as
it is full of dirt. The hot metal dries the
dirt hat the bell is made of so it can be
shaken out.
After the dirt is all shaken out Of the
holes in the bell the little iron %jingler viii
still be in the bell and will ring. 1t took
a great many years to think how to MAKE
a sleigh bell.

The Committee Now IN Omaha and the
brotherhood Reticeht.

The committee Of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers is now in Omaha,
but Manager Galloway has been called to
Toronto. where his sister is diving, and
therefore will not take part in any confer
ence between the men and the managers.
The lodge of the brotherhood in this
city held a meeting yesterday afternoon,
but for what purpose could not be learned.
In responce to enquiries FROM a reporter Of
THK LEADER, engineers admitted that the
committee was now in Omaha, but beyond
that admission nothing could be learned
from them
How are matters looking?' was asked.
'sWe are not at liberty to state anything
lust now" was The
Are the difficulties settled or is trouble
expected"
we are not prepared TO say anything
definite. Nothing can be learned from
us at the present time
Which statement was eminently correct
Nothing could be learned from the engin-
eers and everything will probably be in
status ono until the committee returns
from Omaha or makes some report by
wire

The bitches were knee deep with water
yesterday. A new ordinance requires the
sidewalks to be kept clean and the gut
ters unobstructive. The collections in
the cutters cause the black water in those
canyons at the crossings. and the enforce
ment Of the ordinance will result in the
removal ofthe debris. The water will then
run into Grow creek, and the streets will

NEVADA coMEs TODAY.
Arrival of the Splendid special Maple
son Train.


At half-past ii O'Clock to-day the spe-
cial Mapleson train of nine boudoir
coaches will acrive from Omaha, bring
ing to this city Mdlle Emma Nevada and
the entire Mapleson Opera company.
The opera of LUCIA Di Lammemoor,
which will be given Tuesday evening. will
be presented with the finest cast, ballet
and orchestra in the world. This may
sound like a wild statement but is never
theless a cold and solid statement.
Emma Nevada appears as Lucia;
Giannini, the peer of any living tenor, is
cast as ''Edgardo"; Deanna, the famous
baritone, as "Enrico,' and the celebrated
Cherubin as "Raimondo'' the full chorus
and corps de ballet led by the greatest
living primiere danseuse, Madame Cav
alizzi; the orchestra under the direction
of Signor Arditi, whose productions and
fame are known the world over, and the
grand chorus and orchestra of 100 people.
Was there ever a grander presentation Of
a EAoho olcAos
The arrival of Her Majesty's opera
company is announced by no flaming post
ers, CANDY pictures or brilliant streamers,
for Col. Mapleson depends solely upon
the worldwide fame of the company and
needs no other advertisement. The peo-
pie Of this city will probably never again
have an opportunity of attending such an
opera at such low prices. The scale Of
prices is even below those of New York,
where the theatres will seat many times
the number who can gain admission tC
the Cheyenne opera house. Surely nc
person can expect to see Nevada and
such a company for less money than the
following prices:
First three rows in dress circle, So.
balance of dress circle, 81; parquette,
SO. so: balcony, first row, So. so, second
and third rows, 81: gallery, 81.
The appearance of this magnificent
company is a graceful compliment Il
Chenenne and ~evinces the enterprise o.
the management of the opera house. Tina
the house will be crowded goes withou
saving.

Grand Army Recruit.

When the roll was called yesterday at
the home of Mr.. J.. F. Gross, it was
found that a recruit had been added to
the company. The young soldier, the
son of a veteran, is a bouncing young
hero who promises to enjoy his rations
and to make rapid progress in the man
uel of ARMS" Just at present, however,
the recruit is inclined to be rebellious, re
fuses to pay a particle of attention to the
calls, and has a happy faculty of sleeping
on duty. All parties interested are doing
nicely and Gross is prouder than he was
way back in'63 when Sheridan rode down
the line and asked rs Corporal Gross in
the ranks? Yes2 Then let the battle GO
