How to Make the Old Happy.

"a little thoughtful attention-how
happy it makes the old. They have
outlived most of the friends of their
early youth. How lonely their hours!
Often their partners in fife have long
filled silent graves; often their chill
dren have they followed. to the tomb.
They stand solitary, bending on their
staff, waiting till the same call shall
reach them. How often must they
think of absent, lamented faces; of the
love which cherished them, and the
tears of sympathy which fell with
theirs, now all gone. Why should not
the young cling around and comfort
Them, cheering their gloom with songs
and happy smIles?"

Given Last Evening by the Ladies' oil
the Working Band.

The festival given by the ladies of the
Working Band, a society connected with
the Congregational church, in the War.
rem block last evening, was a decided sue
cess in every respect. The hall was neatly
decorated with flags. At the entrance to
the room was a large flower table loaded
with the choicest varieties obtainable, and
presided over by Mrs. Pratt and Miss
Clara Terry. Quite a number of button
hole bouquets and several costly baskets
and large bouquets were disposed of.
Next came the lemonade stand. This
was IN charge OF Misses Gertie Ellis and
May Tuttle. They were kept busy jung
ling the glasses for a greater part of the
evening.
The first table was in charge of Mrs.
Williams and Mrs. Quinby, and the wait
ers were Misses Isabel Quinby, Annie
Forbes, Kate Phelps and Edith johnson.
No. . was in charge of Mrs. Single,
an the walters were Miss May Douglas,
Ada Douglas and Gertie Douglas.
No. 3 was in charge of Mrs. George
Stanley and Miss Parsons, and the walters
Misses Charlotte Lawson, Eva May and
Annie Edwards,
No. 4 was in charge of and waited upon

When Il c crowd began to disperse the
walters, almost for the first time for two
hours, took a full breath, and several who
are teaching school expressed themselves
as thankful that the tomorrow would be
Saturday.
The receipts ran to IA high figure, and
the Working band, OF which Mrs. Bah.
bitt, Mrs. Fills, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Stan
ley, Mrs. Single, and n number Of
others whom We cannot call to mind, are
members, have met with deserved ac-
acknowledgement by the immense throng
gathered at their festival last evening.

A STEER STORY


A man from Buffalo who knew Presi-
dent Cleveland before he had ever
dreamed of being the chief magistrate of
this land of liberty and the R~oman-nosed
bird of freedom, tells this story about
him in connection with Texas cattle,
which latter gives it a local interest in
Wyoming. He says that some years ago,
before Buffalo was as well supplied with
railroads as she is to day, it was the Gus
tom to unload the cattle which came from
the west over the Canadian roads at
Blackrock, and drive them across the city
to the cattle yards of the New York Cen
trail railroad We had in Buffalo a
wealthy old German merchant named
John Griener, who was MORALLY afraid..of
Texas steers. which sometimes ran
through the streets and played havoc
with the pedestrians. One day, Just as
Cleveland's term as sheriff had expired,
he was walking up main street near
Court-the cattle were usually driven up
Court street and across a little park down
Clinton street to East Buffalo. Cleveland
had several friends with him and they all
felt happy, having Just left Sam Courter's
celebrated Democratic resort for the
thirsty. Across the way old John Grcnier
was hobbling along on his crutches He
bad the rheumatism very badly, and
thought crutches were absolutely neces-
sary for penmbulation Cleveland put
his hands up to his mouth and yelled.
Texas steers, John, Texas steersi That
was enough for old John Gricner He
forgot everything but his dread Of the
longhorns. He dropped his crutches and
ran IKE a deer up Main street. He was
not seen again for a week. When he did
come out it was without those crutches.
He has never used them since, and has
never had a touch of the rheumatism
since hat day,
cleveland and the bows returned to
Courter's 5, and several bottles disappeared
before they left again. II is unneces-
sary to add that there were no steers in
sight

A NEW MOVE.
The Western Hereford Association
Enterprise.
Something Concerning it's Ranch,
Ranges, and Advantages.
An E~nterprising Cattle Company
With FIattering Prospects.

An Enterprising Cattle Company
With FIattering Prospects.
Within the last month or six weeks &
company named THE Western Hereford
Association, having for its purpose the
raising and improvement of thoroughbred
cattle, has been organized in this city with
a capital of 100000, The president Of
the company is Jay Pettibone, Esq.
formerly Of Buffalo, n. Y. and well and
favorably known throughout the west
and in New York as a capitalist aud cat
tleman. He bought a short time ago a
herd of cattle from W. A. Davis, and
lately sold it to Swan & Green for $50.
600.
The vice president of the company is
Mr.. Geo. F. Morgan, who has been a
resident OF Wyoming about FIVE years,
and who, previous to his coming hither,
manipulated large cattle interests and
farming enterprises in Ohio and Illinois,
in which latter state he has now u splen-
did farm stocked with fine imported cat
tie. lie is a native of England, and has
been to the old country within two years,
where he made large purchases of Here
fords which have been shipped to this
territory, 100 head of which arrived here
last night for the ranch of the association
under consideration. These cattle are
the best class of Hereford helfers and
bulls, and they are direct from England,
except one stop for a short time on Mr..
Morgan's Illinois farm.
The secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany is Mr.. John Chase, of the Inter
Ocean hotel in tins city, a gentleman
whose ability and success as a business
man are well known in Wyoming and
elsewhere, and with such men at the head
and front, with their thorough and pnc-
teal knowledge of the cattle business. the
eminent success OF this company's un-
dertaking is foregone conclusion.
The range owned by this association is
located forty-fve miles due north of
Cheyenne, in the Bear creek valley, one
of the finest and most fertile of the many
desirable ranges in Wyoming territory.
The valley abounds in springs and little
streams, furnishing at all seasons Of the
year abundance of water, and the main
stream, Bear creek, heads in the foot hills
and takes its rise from an inexhaustible
source. The valley is enclosed by hills
nat afford good winter shelter for cattle,
and the ravines abound in forests of pine
and cedar. The soil OF the valley is
strong and produces an abundance of blue,
bunch, red top and buffalo grasses, the
peculiar fitness of all of which varieties
for grazing and winter feed. cured as it is
by nature in these attitudes. is well known
to the cattle raisers and feeders Of the
West.
The company now have on their range
$50 head of imported Hereford helfer.
and bulls, all of which are in the most
excellent and promising condition. In

A Curious Crimfnn Case.

1t Is o fundamental principle of Ameri-
can law that mo person shall be subject
for the same offense to be twice put in
jeopardy of life or limb" In August,
1884, Peter johnson stabbed John Davis
in Texas. In October johnson was con-
victed of assault and battery and fined S25,
which he paid. In November Davis died
in consequence of the stabbing. johnson
was indicted, tried again and convicted OF
manslaughter. His counsel raised the
point that he could not be tried twice for
the same offense-that his conviction for
assault was q bar to his subsequent trial
for manslaughter. The Texas Court OF
Appeals overrules this objection and sus.
tains the second conviction. Here is the
view it takes: There never can be the
crime OF murder. or manslaughter, until
the party assaulted dies; these crimes
have 40 existence in fact or law till such
death. Ii cannot, therefore, be said That
one is tried for the same crime when he is
tried for assault during the life and tried
for murder on manslaughter after the
death of the injured party. The death Of
the assaulted party creates q new crime

CONsTITUTIONALITY OF PRO.
HIBITION.

A Kansas brewer claims that the Pro.
hibition law of that State deprives him
of his property without due process OF
law, and he proposes to test his rights
in the Federal courts. The question as
to the power of a State to suppress the
liquor traffic has already been settled by
the United States Court. The Court
has held that there is nothing in the
Federal Constitution to prevent the ex.
ercise of such power unless the law in
question should "operate so rigidly on
property in existence at the time of its
passage, absolutely prohibiting its sale,
as to amount to depriving the owner of
his property" eve do not mean to
say" the Court remarked in another
opinion. "that property actually in ex.
i~stence, and in which the right of the
owner has become vested, may be taken
for the public good without due com.
pensation." The kind of property the
Court had in mind when using this
language was manufactured products
liquor, beer. etc., in stock. But far
greater is the property in the plant, the
value of which would be largely de.
stroyed by a law prohibiting its use.
The Court, however. does not seem to
have regarded this as o taking OF prop.
erty in violation of the Fourteenth
Amendment.

LAWS AND LYNCH ERS.

The Charleston News and Courier has
for some time been arguing with reg.
ulators which is polite English for
lynchers-in o manner which have de.
lighted the friends Of law and order
everywhere. On learning that some
members of the Legislature from one
of the offending counties think that
the gang is performing "a disagreeable
duty" and "doing good" it returns to
the charge in the following Touchdown
style: "Even the regulators, we imagine,
would scarcely 90 so far as to scourge
and Danish a person upon mere suspicion
of crime; and where proof can be found
to warrant whipping a criminal in the
woods there should be evidence enough
to convict him in the Courthouse. The
admission that the plain, simple law
under which convictions have been had
in other counties cannot be enforced in
Fairfield is a reproach to the county and
State and to the Democratic party.
which is now charged with the admins.
of the law in South Carolina"
