The holl lay attractions at the business
house of Zehner, Jackson & Buechner.
Sixteenth and Ferguson streets, are daz-
cling and b~ewildering. Brilliant dia-
monds. sapphires, emeralds, and other
precious gems, flash in the most tempt
ing way before the eyes of the purchaser.
Gold watches cf the most exquisite
workmanship, lut especially those charm
ing Swiss time pieces, made by Patek
PHILIPPE, of Geneva, are displayed at
prices running from 1925 down to $40.
Elegant jewelry sets there are in stock,
from a superb diamond and sapphire set
at 81. 300 to more modest but handsome
sets at $l5. Diamond bracelets fash
their value from $500 to $3.50, and soil
taires from 5000 to $50. The ladies' find
here silver tea-sets worth from $500 toS25;
French clocks imported by the firm, Paris
and Vienna novelties in bronzes. The
great feature Of the house is its manufac-
turing department, the only one in fact in
the territory, supplied with the best mod
ern machinery for producing the most
elaborate and expensive designs at short
notice. This firm succeeded Joslin &
Park, who established the house in 1867,
and their especial pride is the fact that
they sell no snide goods, have no plated
iewelry. and no gold in stock under four
teen carat fine.

then arose as to what would be a reason

be about right, but Mr.. Curlett contend

amply sufficient, and tho commissioner

Newspaper Prejudgment.

Said a government official, yester lay,
to a LEADER representative; g see The
LEADER takes sides with the land grab
bers." The answer was: DO you con
slider THE LEADERS editorial of this
morning as taking sides? Do you hold
that a Newspaper should try your case in
advance by publishing only your side,
thus prejudging the case, and, if possible,
creating a public sentiment against any
one, no matter how ~wrongtully accused ?
If so, you should apply at the Office of the
Republican organ which has been in that
business for some time"
THE LEADER will not Join with the sa-
tanic press in publishing to the world In
advance ola proper investigation all the
charges that may be made against any of
our citizens; and most assuredly not if
those citizens are among the best and
most respected. who have for many years
been among us; who have by their eff
cient and interchangeable efforts and the
constant expenditure Of their means aided
in the development of this country. THE
LEADER, iii saw fit to take sides, might
mention many reasons why Messrs. Baker
and johnson should not be charged with
unlawful proceedings in the coal land case;
that they have simply filed on certain
lands which are supposed to be u derlaid
with coal that they have not oJtdined a
foot Of this land from the government,
and that if their filing was not in accor
dance with the law, their claim would
simply be rejected by the officers of the
land department, and neither the govern
ment nor the people would lose a dollar or
an acre of land by the preliminary pro
ceedings Of Messrs. Baker and johnson.
But The LEADER is satisfied to leave
the matter in the hands ofthe judicial au
thorities; and if a Jury of twelve good and
true men can be found in Wyoming Ter
ritory who will gay that these gentlemen,
respected and honored citizens and bust
ness men of this county, have been guilty
ofunlawful acts in connection with this or
any other matter, THE LEADER will join
with the Republican organ in condemning
them-bm not until then. The law of the
land and good American common sense
hold a man to be innocent until fUi nd
guilty of crime by a competent tribunal,
and it is not for malicious and prejudlced
newspapers, nor for representatives OF the
government, to assume that they can null
lily this beneicent principle of a fr,e AID
nnlirhiened government

The board of county commissioner held
a meeting yesterday afternoon at . o clock.
There were present Chairman Hoyt and
Commissioners l. c. Whipple and II. B.
Kelly. The subject Of rebates was again
the principal business before the board,
and the session was mainly devoted to
that purpose. Several of these applica-
tons for rebate were allowed, and others
were laid over for future consideration,
the board taking great pains to arrive at
an equitable adjustment in each and
every case where it is apparent that the
matter ought to be considered at all. In
two or three instances where parties have
come before the board claiming that they
have been assessed upon the basis of a
greater number of cattle than they had,
it has been ascertained that they gave in
to the assessor the number of their cattle
themselves, yet for the reason hat it is
fashionable to apply for a rebate in some
form they have unconsciously been find
ing fault with their own figures. The
board adjourned until the next regular
| meeting.

OUR NEW DEPOT.
Cheyenne Takes a Sly Peep in
Her Stocking,
And Finds a Christmas Gift From
the Union Pacific.

A despatch from New York from
Thomas Sturgis to Governor Warren re-
celyed last evening, conveyed the crafty
ing Intelligence that Charles Francis
Adams, the president Of the Union Pacific
railway, has approved OF the plans for
the new depot at Cheyenne, and has or
dered the work to be commenced without
delay. This will be good news to the peo-
pie of this city, who have been waiting for
such a long time to see the promised rail-
road depot. What the plan is, that has
been approved, is a matter Of conjecture.
but one fact concerning it is known and
that is that its estimated cost is $4,000.
The depot will be built on the north side
OF the track and neal the site OF the pres
ent structure. Every man, woman and
child in the corporate limits of this city
will be rejUiced to learn that we are to
have or promised prize. The city has
long been entitled to a depot that would
be in keeping with the importance of the
place as the capital city Of the territory.
with the fine buildings which grace our
streets, and the intelligence and push
of our people. Having been so often dis
appointed it would not be surprising if
some would be found who will say that
the news is too good to be true, but it
would seem in this instance that the
company has concluded that Cheyenne
has waited so patiently that she is emit
tied to the reward which patience should
always obtain.

PRACTICAL JOKE.
They Waited aud Watched, but She
Didn't Come.

Ihey Malted aud watched, but She
Didn't Come.
A bright Cheyenne damsel who is fond
of a lark and as bright as Il dollar struck a
brilliant idea on Thursday and put it iuto
swift execution. She got her sta
tionery, and, after spelling a dozen sheets
of elegant note paper, finally mud a score
of notes written which were eouched in
exactly the same language:
DEAR --: Please meet me at
the ladies window at the postotice at $3.50
o'clock this evening. I'm going to the
rink. Yours, etc. -"
Then this witch directed these seem
ingly harmless epistles to different young
men Of her acquaintance, tripped down
to the postofice and dropped them into
the box.
At $ o'clock last evening the LEADER
man dropped into the postofice for his
mail. He found an array of good-looking
young men drawn up in line against the
wall neal the ladies' window. On the

Political.

The sensation of the past week, In
political circles throughout the country,
was tile pronanciamiento of U. s. Sena-
tor Eustis, of Louisiana, Us. the Ad-
ministration, We give it in another
column also portions of an article on
the subject from that sterling and out
spoken journal, the New Orleans States,
and short article from the same paper
concerning Mr.. Kernochan, the Presi-
dents appointee for Naval Officer at
New Orleans. Mr.. Eustis had entered
his earnest protest against the appoint
ment of that gentleman, who in the
last campaign had supported an inde-
pendent candidate for Congress against
the regular Democratic nominee, and
it is generally understood that the dis
regard of his very proper protest consti-
tutes one of the main reasons for the
bold Senator's revolt. Other Demo-
cratic Senators and leaders consider
that they have grievances against the
Administration, but tiiey are not pre-
pared to join in open war against it at
present, trusting that it will grow more
Democratic as it grows older, that the
work of turning the rascals out" will
be accelerated from this time on, and
that " none but Romans will be put on
guard henceforth while Mr.. Henry
Watterson, the distinguished editor of
the Louisville Courier journal, who, as
he puts it, has been suffering from {" a
slight attack of political sore eyes, and
has recently spent several days at the
Capitol, is disposed to take an alto
gether hopeful view of the situation.
After full review of the Presidents
actions and appointments, and the
general makeup of the men to whom
patronage has been dispensed, Mr..
Watterson is satisfied that the Presi-
dent has clear head, wise Judgment,
cautious but strong will, and that
his administration will not only be a
strong Democratic one, but will stand
the test of the most hypercritical criti-
cism of Republican enemies OF of disap-
pointed Democrats.
He thinks the attack of Senator Eus-
tis, at least, premature, and that it bis
hostility to the President should con-
tiuue until the assembling of Congress,
it will be very unfortunate-more to
the Senator, however, tkan to any one
else The tome of Mr.. Natterson's ut
terances is that undue criticisms, or
hasty conclusions as to the Presidents
motives, are not only premature, but
will mar the harmony which should
prevail in the organization of tue ma
chinery of a pure and strong Demo
cratic government.
