IT is bad policy for the people of a town to pass by home stores. etc., and fill the mail with postal money order, for goods of every description. Mn. ey sent out in this way never returns It IS taken from the legitimate chln- nel of home trade and sent to swell the receipts of people who do not spend a cent here.

Marshal Cummings received a letter
from Mrs. Copeland yesterday, in
curing after her absent husband. The
letter is dated at Cheyenne, May ~.
Copeland is known to the police of this
CITY, having been ordered out of tow n
quite recently by Judge Stenberg.
The above is clipped from the Tribune
Republican.
There are two persons in Cheyenne
answering to the name of Mrs. Copeland.
One of these is a lady whose husband has
been absent from the city for some time,
and the other is a woman known by the
name of Woodruff as well as Copeland.
At the present writing it is impossible
to ascertain which is referred to in the
above clipping. Mrs. Woodruff or Cope
land is a noted character here. Formerly
bearing the name of Copeland. she dis
carded it for several years in favor of that
of Woodruff. As the wife of Woodruff,
she bore him two children. Trouble came,
and the possession of the children was
disputed in court.
An order was made, giving the children
into the custody of a man named Bren-
nan. Two months ago, Mrs. Woodruff,
in company with a woman known as An
nie Brennan, stole the little ones and
took them to Denver.
Brennan claimed that some $40 were
due for the children's maintenance, and
swore out a warrant for abduction against
Mrs. Woodruff. Constable Smalley went
to Den ier, found his woman, and served
the warrant. Denver friends of the woman
interferel, and a writ of habeas corpus
was taken out. The judge hearing the
cause discharged the writ and the Chey-
enne officer returned with his prisoner.
Appearing here before Judge Lee, the
woman was put under 5000 bonds to APP
pear before the district court. The grand
jury failed to find a true bill, and Mrs.
Woodruff was a free woman. Since then
she has assumed once more the name of
Copeland. This name was hers years ago
in Denver, though the nature of the con
nection b~esfowing it is not certainly
known. 1t may be that the worn and
much used heart seeks to rehabilitate it.
self at the shrine of a first affection; it
may be she is out of funds, or perchance
a mere passing vagary has induced a long
ing for an early matrimonial harness. In
any case 1t is safe to assume that if she is
the lady making the inquiry, it will be a
vain one, as Copeland will doubtless con-
suit his W comfort by keeping out of
the way

patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or n~eighboring organs. At
tunes, symptoms ofindigestion are present
hatulency, uneasincss of the stomach, etc.

wYoMING,s FAIR.


Some days since the race track Of the
Wyoming fair grounds was laid off. The
result was not altogether satisfactory tc
the association managers, and to-day new
lines will be run with a certainty of bet
tering the track.
Assistant Secretary Grow is in active
negotiations for the lumber required for
fencing, building and all other necessary
purposes.
Correspondence is going on with sew
eral firms in the Michigan lumber region,
with Milwaukee, Omaha and Clinton, la
lumber men, while some OF Cheyenne's
lumber dealers are figuring in the matter.
The amount of lumber required will be
in the neighborhood of 200. 900 feet, and
all negotiations with parties east Of here
are based upon the free placing of the
material on the cars at Omaha, from which
point the Union Pacific road will give
Special rates to Cheyenne. In case a con
tract is entered into with Eastern parties
it will be closed in a very short time, and
the lumber will be shipped at once.
The association will very probably let
no building contracts but will do their own
work. just as soon as the material is
placed upou the grounds, a large force of
men will be set at work under experienced
supervision, and fencing and building in
au gurated.
The erections will comprise a 7 foot
board fence, inclosing in the form of a
square the forty-six acre area of the
grounds; the grand stand, l04 feet in
length by 80 feet wide; the exhibition hall.
built in the form of a Roman cross, each
section of the cross 24x4S; the headquar-
ter buildings, with the ticket office under
the same roof, 16x20, and the dining hall
2Ox46. with a kitchen l6 feet square at.
tached.
OF these buildings only the grand stand
will require a stone foundation, and this
will be put in also by the association it
self. The estimated cost of the lumber
necessary for the entire work is 81. 500,
while the disbursements for the work itself
will swell the cost OF the Wyoming fair
grounds to a sun total OF $4,000.
Several of our cattle and horse comIan-
les have already notified the association
that they will contribute largely to the
success of the enterprise, and no doubt
the movement will become general among
the range capitalists of the territory.
Fraternal relations have been established
with all of the neighboring fairs. The as
sociation dates are from the l4th to the
18th of September, being the week fol-
lowing the Omaha dates. The Fort Col
Inns dates are placed in the succeeding
week, followed by those of Greeley, the
series being closed by the Boulder fair.
No effort will be spared on the part OF
the management to make the enterprise
a leading one, and to add another to
Wyoming's already long list of substan-
tial attractions.
