Breaking up the Parties.

The following three paragraphs
we clip from the Washington, Pa,
Scotch Irish Picket.
In Maryland the battle is hot be-
tween the Prohibitionists and the
Democrats. The former are said to
be paid by the Republicans to
break up the Democratic party.
The Prohdbitionist is a new paper
started at Connellsvillo, Pa. It is
said that the notorious Bill Cooke,
of the Uniontown Genius, is to pay
all It's bills with a view to breaking
up the Republican party.
The Herald is new Prohibition
paper at Knoxville, Tenn, hired
by the Republicans to break up the
Democratic party.

1t Went Into the Collection.

The following is told of John B.
Randall, the editor OF the Augusta,
(Ga,) Chronicle: He attended one
day colored church in the coun-
try, and had in his pocket a silver
half-dollar, just the fare back to
Augusta. At the conclusion of his
sermon, the minister ordered a col
lection for his own benefit. "Of

pussen to give somethin' but rs
told Mr.. Thomas, up de land yon-
der, had some turkeys stole Friday
night. | don't want any man who
had han in stealth dem turkeys
to put any money in de plate. ;"
When the plate reached Mr.. Ran
dali not a man had refused to con-
tribute; and the preachers eyes
were on him. His half-dollar, &C.
cordingly, went into the plate.

Intemperance and Cholera.

Regarding the use of Alcoholic liquors as
attack Of the cholera, Prof. Macintosh, of
Edinburgh, says that "fve-sixths of all who
have fallen by this disease in England were
and dssolute." Warsaw physician places
the proportion at nine tenths, while physi-
clans are generally agreed that the habitual
use of liquor, even in small quantities, pre-
diSpOseS to cholera, and renders it incurable.
Mr.. Huber, who saw q, 100 perish in twenty
one days in one place in Russia, says that
ain Tiflis, containing 10000 inhabitants, every
drunkard has fallen, all are dead not one
remaining" With such testimony before
us, it is suicidal for persons to use liquor
even moderately, since we know not when
the dreaded scourge may be upon us.

Jackson Teachers Sound.

The Jackson County Teachers
Institute adopted the following
sound and sensible resolution:
7. That we insist upon higher
standard of temperance among our
people, that we believe it to be the
duty of every teacher to use every
legitimate means in his power to
promote that end, and we believe
that no person habituated to the
use of ardent spirits should be cleo
ted to official positions or be allow
ed to teach in the public schools.

Bill Miller, who was brought back to
Sidney as a witness in the case Of the
Wyoming Stock Growers Association
against Ben Moore, stepped quietly out
of that town on Monday, and Is BY this
time at a healthy distance from the officers
Of the law. The explanation of this ap
parent negligence is that Jugde Harmer
was not aware of the importance to the
state of this witness and released him un
der $500 bail Tor his appearance at court.
Moore, who would doubtless have been
convicted by this msss ryidence, was only
too glad to furnish the necessary bail, and
give him the mean to get beyond the
jurisdiction Of the court. No pains or ex-
pense had been spared by the Stock
Growers Association to hunt this Miller
down. Detective Billy Smith followed on
his trail for months, and finally captured
him at Miles City, Mont. and brought
him TO Omaha. From there no was
brought to Cheyenne by Detective N. X.
Boswell, and he was taken to Sidney
about two weeks age by Sheriff Fowler.
The time, trouble aud So 500 cash spent
in hunting down this scamp has all gone
for naught and members of the association
say that Judge Wright had better been
in Sidney attending to his case, than in
Denver telegnphing that he would come
up il it was necessary.

HOLD RAD
who Had a Longing For a seal skin
Sacque.


Harry Hynds' house on Sixteenth
street was entered yesterday while the
family were absent. Mrs. Hynds on re.
turning heard something moving about
in her front room, and entering discovered
that the bureau drawers had been emptied
of their contents, which were piled in the
entire of the floor. Her seal skin sacque
which had been hanging in the closet was
lying on a chair near by. The closet door
was open, and she saw the form of a man
halt hidden by the dresses which were
hanging there. She didn't scream or
faint, but turning on her heel walked
directly to the front door and locked it.
As the key clicked in the lock, the man
bolted from the closet, dashed through
the room, out the back door, and took a
header over the fence. The whole thing
occurred so suddenly that Mrs. Hynds
had no chance to give the alarm, and is
unable to give any description Of the nan
except that he had the longest pair of
legs she ever saw, and hat he fairly few
out of the house. With such hazy clues
to work upon, it is not strange that no ar
rests have as yet been made.

The board of county commissioner on
vened at the county clerks office Yester
day forenoon. Present, Chairman Hoyt
and Commissioner A. b. Kelly and l. G..
Whipple. The principal reason for the
meeting was to enter upon the work Of 60
ing over the books, papers and records, to
see that the business and affairs Of the
county are in proper shape for the year.
A large share Of the time was devoted to
going over and checking up the record
oil county warrants issued during the year,
and as far as the board proceeded with
this work everything was satisfactory,
the numbers and the various amounts
tallying exactly. A large number Of
vouchers were cancelled by the board.
These vouchers, however, arc to be kept
and preserved in the county clerks office
for future reference. The members Of
the board discovered informally several
matters of interest, but no formal action
was taken in regard to any matter before
them except as above stated.
The board adjourned until next Mon.
day, unless sooner called in special ses.
sion.

EEIGSINc~ INSANITY.
Reynolds Tries TO Escape the Penalty
OF Crime.


The trial Of Jack Reynolds for murder
is now progressing at Sidney. Extraordi.
nary interest is manifested by the people,
and the court room yesterday was crowd
ed with excited people. Threats Of
lynching are openly made, and the pris
oner is being closely guarded by the sheriff
aud his men. During the trial yesterday
Reynolds feigned insanity, probably at
the suggestion OF his legal adviser. who
blocked every step of the trial with OBJ
jections, until the judge sat down on hin.
He is certain to hang. the only question
being whether it will bo dono by the
sheriff or a mob. 1t is CHARGED by the
state that Reynolds came out from Mis-
souri, with two other persons to take up
land near Sidney, they paying all his ex-
penses, and hat he murdered aud robbed
them while asleep in their cabin. Reyn
olds, it will be remembered, came in to
Sidney with the story that the crime had
been committed by two masked men, and
that be fled to save his life. An investi
CATION by the %coroner's jury resulted in
Reynolds arrest and trial.

AFTER THEM.


Recent Investigations by those whose
business it is to look after the land inter
ests of Uncle Sam out here on the plains,
have developed the fact that there are
some matters in Albany county which re
quiro attention. Il has been discovered
that a number Of entries have been made
by parties In Albany county which as is
claimed have not been in accordance with
law, and there is said to be a considerable
amount of crookedness in the methods by
which certain filings and locations were
made.
Acting upon the recent revelations and
discoveries that have been made concern
ing these alleged frauds. Col. james A
f, George. the United States land officer or
Inspector for Wyoming has gone to AL
bauy county and is now engaged IN look
ing up these matters. 1t is presumed
that his mission will result in the i~nstitut.
ing of several prosecutions against Albany
cou,y people, some of whom are quite
prominent in that locality.
Attention has not until recently been
called to the fact that unless prosecutions
are commenced within two years after the
offences have been committed the statutes
of limitation will bar any action. Most OF
the transactions which have appearance
upon the surface of being crooked, hap
| nened abouf two Years ago. and ii Is mite

Superintendent Nolan on yesterday
made a trip to the upper lakes, which
compose in part Jul water system, and
reports finding them all full. In fact.
there is more water on hand than there Is
any room or use Tor. While the city is
a~bundantly supplied with water, Mr.. No
Ian states that for the past month the
main supply pipe from Like Mahpea
lutah to the city has not been used to ex-
coed one half OF its capacity. The water
superintendent is of the opinion that
Cheyenne has enough water on hand to
more than supply two such cities during
the present winter.

The annual banquet of Aaron Com
mandery No. l, Knights Templar (col-

ance. The hall had been tastefully and
elaboratelv decorated for the occasion.
The music furnished was exceedingly
good, aud after the dancers had become
in part satisfied in their desire to "triT

During the G.. A. r. eneampment in
September last 4 woman named Mrs.
Annie Comford, who did not agree worry
well with her husband, came up to Chey-
enne from Greeley and brought With her
their only child, a little girl. She re-
manned here during the e%ncampment,
and shortly thereafter found employment
as a servant in tho family of one of our
leading citizens. In the meantime, how
ever, she formed acquaintance here and
among th IN various servant girls, and
with one had some business dealings, at
least so the woman claims. The out
come of the matter above alluded to was
that Mrs. Comfort came into the posses
sion OF a silk dress belonging to the girl
pawned to her as she claims, and stolen
as the girl claims-and was accused of the
crime of grand larceny and a warrant
issued for her arrest. She was taken
into custody and an examination being
held she was bound over, but being unable
to give bail was committed to the county
Jail and lock up on the next day after the
Jury adjourned. The husband of the
woman in the meantime appeared from
Greeley but would do nothing for his wife
but took the child and returned home.
This unfortunate woman is now in the coun-
ty Jail and presents a very sad and forlorn
appearance. She has no means to en-
ploy counsel, but yesterday a Cheyenne at
torney learning of her unfortunate situa-
ton signifed his willingness to take out a
writ of habeas corpus in her behalf, which
will probably be done next week.
