WYOMING KIT.
Reported Suicide of a Journalist Wen
Known Here.

Kit Adams, a brother OF Hon. j. b.
Adams, of Rawlins, well known through
out the country as a brilliant but cratic
writer, is reported as having committed
suicide last August in Memphis. He was
a man Of fine ability and of many admira-
bic traits of character, but a rowing dispo-
sition and an inclination to drink ruined
his career as n journalist, though he was
known far and wide, under the nom de
plume Of Wyoming Kit, to the newspa-
per fraternity of the West and North
west. Evidently he endeavored to destroy
all evidence of his identity before commit
ting the rash act, preferring rather to
have his lame enrolled among the miss
ing than that his relatives and friends
should know the truth. Little or nothing
is known as to the facts in the case. But
the following from the st. Paul Dispatch
throws some light on the matter:
"A report has been in circulation on
the streets for some time, stating hat Kit
Adams, well known in northwestern Jour
nalistic circles, had suicided in Nashville,
Tenn. A Dispatch reporter called upon
Mrs. Adams at her residence on Fairfield
avenue, and learned hat she had heard
the report and written to +. NJ. Gilbert,
Of the Evansville Argus, inquiring into
the matter. A reply received under date
of August 2sth, stated that so far as
could be ascertained the report was true.
A letter of inquiry was also directed to
the chief of police at Nashville, to which
nj reply has been received. Kit Adams
was an eccentric genius, whose worst fault
was that he was his worst enemy. When
himself he was n genial companion and
well liked. He left st. Paul last winter
under rather peculiar circumstances, much
to the surprise Of many friends. His
wife commands much sympathy in her
bereavement.

Manager cslIaway INTERVIEWED

While in Chicago, General Manager
Galloway, eff the Union Pacific railway,
was intervieded by q Times reporter. Re
ferring to the recent troubles between the
white and Chinese coal miners, in which
the Union Pacific had become involved,
the gentleman stated that the point at is
sue vas clouded in the public mind. 1t
was not a question Of economy, as the
wages were equal, but Of stability. The
Chinese could be depended upon. They
were not Influenced by demagogic appeals
nor ready to go on a strike at the least
prevention. This was the one great
great point in their favor. The road de
pended upon the coal mined in Wyoming
for the supply Of its motive power and
could not afford to be at the mercy Of a
striking element Mr.. Galloway was to
attend a peeting Of the Western Freight
association, but owing to the inability Of
all the managers to get together, it was
postponed

Has something 70 Say About wyoming
Ia Politics.

Hon. James b.. Beck, on his way east from
Wyoming, was interviewed BY a cores
pendent, who reports the Kentucky sena-
tor as follows.
| am on my way home from Wyoming,
where | have been spending five weeks
with my son, who has a ranch there.
During hat time | have not seen a paper
oitener than once Il week, and have de-
voted myself wholly to hunting and fish
ing, and having a good time. | tell you
that is a great country up there; people
do not half appreciate it. Farmers are
hocking into the Big Horn river country,
and are making a wonderful place Of it.
The newcomers are not Adventures, but
men who have come to stay, and all their
irrigated lands are m%arvelously produc-
tive. While | was there they had a fair,
at which | was requested to make a speech.
| complied, us | thought | knew more
about agricultural matters than Horace
Greeley-and they said | did, too. The
exhibits at the fair were surprising. Why,
| saw samples of oats which were raised
on those irrigated lands, which yielded
1877 bushels per acre. and wheat which
yielded sixty bushels per acre. 1t is a
great country for women. too. They
vote, hold Office and help run all munich
pal affairs. They ought to have some Of
those laws down in New York. | am not
at all posted in regard to political matters,
for | have not seen any of the papers in
five weeks, and it is astonishing how
rusty a man can become in that time. |
don't know what the result will be in New
York, it would be foolish for me to guess.
The way | look at it, however, is lust
this. | understand that the mugwumps
are anxious to return to the Republicans,
which would be a considerable loss to the
Democrats, but. on the other hand. the
Democracy lost a large Irish vote, which
went for Blaine at the last election, and
if they return to the Democratic ranks it
would more than offset what the Repub-
licans would gain by the return Of the
mugwumps.
Still, the majority of the Democrats, at
the presidential election, was so small that.
it would take but little to change it at the
next election. | look upon the result as
being very problematical. Ohio | also
regard as being very uncertain. The pro-
hibitionists there hold the balance Of
power, and they will decide the result.
As have not kent posted I do not know
which way they lean. l think Mr.. Sher-
man has made a great mistake in bringing
up the bloody shirt; and that may injure
the Republicans. Virginia will undoubt-
eddy go Democratic, and Fitzhugh Lee
can and wi. carry the state by a big ma
jority. As to the trouble between the

Frank Leslie,s Popular Monthly

For December opens with a very timely
article called "Another Bit of Turkey"
1t has no reference to Thanksgiving, but
to the annexation of Roumelia by the
Prince of Bulgaria. This unexpected
seizure of another bit of Turkey, and
the events that have followed, required
explanations. In this article Mr.. Oscan-
yam, formerly Turkish Consul-G General
thoroughly versed in the system of
Oriental rule. gives a clear view of the
Province and its people, rs well as of
Bulgaria. "The Shakers in Niskayuna"
is a sketch by a lady of that curious com
munity, accompanied by a fine series of
illustrations. "The Story of Napoleon
Bo~naparte's Divorce from the Empress
Josephine" is told by Noel Ruthven i'm
II way to excite the readers warmest
sympathy with the amiable lady whom
a husbands ambition compelled to des-
cend from her throne. Walter S. Bail
lie describes and illustrates a little
known part of our hemisphere in his at
taactive "Glimpses of South BRAZIL;
while Lieutenant WInder, of the Navy,
carries us back TO the days of Robinson
Crusoe, in his RESCUE of the Trinity's
Crew'-the story of the crew of an
American vessel lost on Il rarely visited
island in the Antarctic Ocean. Ackroyd's
scientific article OH "Whirlpools and
Whirlwinds' explains the origin OF
those deadly force. in nature which sc
frequently compel us to record theil
destructive ravages. The lighter ele'
ments in the magazine, the fine illustra
tons, the stories by Mrs. +. b. Duffey
G. M. Boutelle, r. c. Meyers, Laurence
Germaine, with the poetic and other
miscellany, make the number from

tive. Published by Mrs. FRANK LESLIE
