THE Lancet calls attention to the danger
lurking in the practice of licking adhesive
stamps and envelopes, declaring that much
local irritation, sore tongues and kindred
complaints may be traced to this source. 1t
relates curious illustration of the way in
which disease may be communicated. An
envelope received from person who habi-
tually took large quantities Of morphia
hypodermically was reclosed by the person
who opened 1t by licking the adhesive sur
face, with the result Of making him violently
sick. The mere touch OF the tongue of the takeY
morphia had rendered the gum intensely
nauseous There is no excuse for licking the
adhesive surface, while the same result can
be brought about by licking the surface on
which the stamp is to be placed. or course
exception is made of those violently love-sick
young men who lick the surface of their
sweethearts letter where the stamp had been,
forgetful of the fact that the colored coach
man licked the stamp and put 1t on.

WHERE the water supply Is limited IL Is
customary in many OF the larger cities to
make an effort to get rid Of the impurities
from the water by pumping air into it For
this system of seration there are many advo-
Gates. The chief engineer of the Baltimore
water works, Robert X. Martin, declares that
1t has been demonstrated to him by expert
ence that water does not @rate itself and
throw off impurities, but that they settle to
the bottom aud affect the whole. To correct
this in the Baltimore reservoirs he two years
ago adopted the plan of wasting the water
from the bottom by means of waste weirs or
gates, and since that time there has been no
general complaint of bad taste in the water.
tapped by six and four-inch connections that
lead into the principal sewers, and the mains
are frequently cleansed in this way. The fire
plugs are no longer depended upon to flush
the water mains, but they are nevertheless
used sometimes as aids to that end. The
plan adopted by Mr.. Martin Of wasting water
from the bottom of the reservoirs has since
been applied by other water engineers with
good results. Engineer Brush, Of Hoboken,
who read paper OH the eration of water be-
| fore the convention of civil engineers at Deer
| Park last week, said he had adopted the
waste from the reservoir bottom. The object
is to carry off the sediment and keep the
water in constant motion. There may be
much of suggestiveness for the local water
authorities in the details OF these experien ces
| given. There is certainly room for improve
ment In Lancaster's water supply.

full Adventure.

A man named VIII. Cook was brought
before Justice Lee yesterday and fined
50 for carrying a pistol
Thursday night Cook and his wife and
a mutual friend had a jolly time in the
back room of a saloon on Ferguson street.
The trio drank as much beer as three
able-bodied brewers would ordinarily con-
sumo during a midsummer picnic. Dur
ing the festivities Cook became the un-
happy possessor Of an idea that the
mutual friend was more attentive to his
wife that the circumstances warranted,
and while he did not make any violent
demonstrations, he was evidently prepar-
ing for war. The door was standing ajar
and Officer Deitrick CHANGED to be where
he could survey the scene through the
opening. He saw Cook take the pistol
from an outside pocket, and, fearing that
trouble was about to ensue, he at once
arrested the man. Cook at first denied
that he had a weapon. but finally gave it
to the officer, together with the e~xplana-
ton that he was only carrying the weapon
to keep it from being stolen. He claimed
to harbor a sickening fear that a gang Of
burglars was standing guard over his
house, waiting for an opportunity to
swoop down on the premises and steal
that pistol.
After Cook had been disarmed the trio

Justice Fisher yesterday to answer for
her sins, committed while she was on the
war path Thursday afternoon. The court
informed her, when his honor found an
opportunity to get a word in edgeways,
that three complaints could be made
against her, but that he would fine her
$40. so on the charge of drunkenness.
The complaints for creating a disturbance
and carrying a deadly weapon were held
in reserve. Mother Clooney asserted that
if everyone was as quiet and orderly as
herself the community would be a para
disc of good order, and she further alleged
her inability to pay the fine. See keptu

A CHEYENNE ENTERPRISE
Five Thousand Acres OF Rich Bottom
Land Successfully Irrigated.

While out on a hunting trip a repre-
sentative Of The LEADER recently visited
the camp Of Thos. w. Rutledge. situated
some % miles north of Pine Bluffs and
about AZ miles in a northeasterly direction
from Cheyenne.
The ranch is not one of the largest in
Wyoming, but it will be devoted to n
special purpose and will doubtless become
a prominent factor in the live stock facili-
ties of this region. 1t consists of nearly
5000 acres Of rich bottom land from which
5000 tons Of hay were cut last year and
which will produce at least 5000 tons dur
ing the summer of 1885. Horse creek flows
across the southwest corner Of the land
and, makinga bend, passes along the south
ern and eastern limits Of the ranch. Some
miles west Of the ranch this stream is
tapped by the now well known Hellman
ditch, which approaches the ranch in a
direct line from Horse creek until the
western edge Of the ranch is reached,
when it branches like the outer prongs Of
a ~pitchfork and circles the entire ranch.
This ditch is twenty-seven miles long and
twenty-five feet in width, tapering to SIX
feet in width at its terminus. The head
gate is twenty-five feet wide and the dam
is one Of the finest in the west.
The ranch is enclosed by tw~enty-one
miles of wire fence. New ranch buildings
will be erected this spring. and then the
enterprise will be ready for business. 1t
is the intention to cut hay and feed cattle
for the spring market. By flooding the
bottoms a luxnriant crop of grass can be
grown. This will be harvested and
stacked and fed to cattle during the
winter.
The wonderful fattening qualities of
Wyoming grass are well known, and it is
generally understood that cattle fed on
Wyoming grass can be fattened as well as
when fed corn.
The facilities for feeding the cattle on
this ranch are not equalled by those of
any other ranch in the territory. The
cost will be small and the profits cannot
fail to be handsome. II is not intended
to make the ranch a cattle ranch in the
ordinary definition of that term, but in
stead a feeding farm devoted TO the
preparation of cattle for market.
As a new industry the ranch will attract
attention, and will doubtless be the
pioneer Of business that will, ere many
years, be a f~avorite field for the invest
ment Of capital. Suitable locations are
the first essentials Of such an undertaking,
and as these are hard TO obtain within a
moderate distance of the railroad, such
ranches as the one under consideration
cannot suffer by reason of a crowded
competition.

This will be the last day of the sale Of
the goods of the Palmer & Fowler estab-
lshment. A few very fine articles yet
remain unsold. They will be offered to-
day at the lowest oflow prices, and if re-
manning at the close of business, will be
shipped to the parties from whom orig
inally bought The fixtures of the store
are also for sale. They are all new and
consist Of about eighteen feet of shelving,
some very fine gas fixtures, one elegant
sign, one extension table. seven counter
tables, two new base burning stoves, one
bed room set of furniture and several nice
patterns Of carpets. All will be sold at
tremendous bargains for the buyers.
The fact hat the stock of goods of this
establishment has been closed out in 50
short a time reflects much credit upon the
gentleman in charge, Mr.. J. P. Crosson.
Mr.. Crosson, acting as agent for Mr..
Oelrichs, purchased the goods at sheriff $
sale. Enormously the idea prevailed that
he had purchased the stock on his own
account; and his wide acquaintance among
the buyers Of the city at once brought
throngs of purchasers to the establish
ment. This fact, together with iudicious
advertising, has resulted in the unprece-
dent achievement ~ofclosing out the goods,
realizing : $1,000 from the sale Of countless
small articles of ornamental and decora-
tive goods in the very short time Of five
days.

The members Of the 9th and 2lst infan-
try and the reeimental band stationed at
Fort Russell, have organized a musical
and dramatic club with the laudable pur-
pose Of affording the troops innocent re-
creation during the long winter evenings.
The club is called the Fort Russell ORA
matte and Minstrel Combination, and has
among its active members a number of
excellent musicians and amateur per-
formers. These gave a quite meritorious
performance at the garrison hall last
evening.
The post orchestra furnished the in

began with a BLACK circle" consisting OF
the members Of the organization. j..

gramme consisted of difficult selections
and popular ballads.
H. Temple passed successfully through
the throes ola burlesque stump speech,
W. Greager performed a number Of acts
in the black art, and Leaning and CLAM
introduced a medley consisting of selec-
tons from Shakespeare.
G. s. Chew, billed as the female night
ingale, sang soprano airs, and Conley and

with but one dead animal. There are a
