COUNCIL MEETING.

The regular monthly meeting of the
common council was held last evening.
Mayor Carney being absent, Weep
dent j. w. Fowler presided.
A petition was presented by j. L. Viii.
liams asking privilege of removing the
frame building OH corner Of Front and
Hickory streets to rear of the lot. The
petition was granted without debate.
A petition from property owners on
Willard street asked that the council see
to the proper repair of the railroad cross.

Geo. III. and j. q. A. Marsh decided
south 163 feet of lot No. Is, in Marsh
Brothers addition, to be forever used as
a part of street or public highway.
The matter was referred to the street
committee. 1t seems the council is as
wary in accepting gift as it is In making
one.
A liquor license was granted ]. F.

street.
The treasurer's report for month end
ing May 3lst, showed balance on hand
of SO ,673 so.
The street commissioner paid out for
repairs of sidewalks and improvement
of streets, 1921 43.

grading of Pleasant street was referred
| in May, recommend that the improve
ment be made, and also that 20 per cent
of the cost of such improvement be as
sessed to the property owners, and 30
per cent be paid by the city. The esti-
mated cost of the grading Is 81 200. The
report of the commissioners was accepted
and as a consequence the street will be
put in shape.
The chief of policies report was not
presented, and he will be required to
bring it before the council at next meet
ing.
An ordinance was presented amending
ordinance No. 2, preventing cows and
other animals from running at large be-
tween Plum and Marshall streets, taking
in all of Second and Third wards, and
portion of the Fourth ward between the
river and Sixth street. This change in
the ordinance simply reserves the cen.
trail or business portion of the city from
being longer made cow pasture. There
is no feed in this portion of the city-a
cow would starve to death were it not
for the trees and shrubbery she feeds
upon.
A motion was made to lay the ordi.
nance on the table, which was lost. And
the ordinance was thereupon declared
as having its first reading.
A motion was made to suspend the
rules and place the ordinance upon its
second reading. AS it takes two-thirds
of the members present, voting in the
affirmative, to suspend the rules, the mo-
ton was defeated.

cident. Children playing about the tank
are liable to fall in as it now stands.
A plan for remodeling the tower on
City Hall was presented to the inspection
of the council, and on motion the plan
was referred back to the committee for
perfection. The new tower will be about
l2 feet higher than the present one, and
somewhat larger. With this improve
ment, plenty Of room will be afforded for
the proper sounding of the bell, some
thing we have never been able to get
with the present arrangement.

LAST NIGHTS ENTERTAINMENT

Notwithstanding the rainy weather
prevailing last evening, fair-sized
house greeted Fielding's Comedy Ideals
at the Opera House TO witness their pre-.
sentation of Confusion" The piece
seemed to please immensely, judging
from the peals of mirth continually to
be heard. Fielding, as Christopher
Blizzard, and Maggie Fielding, as Lucre-
tia Tickleby, carried off the hOnors of
the evening, they rendering their parts
in fine style. The two servants, James
and Marie, were clever in their respect
i've roles, and their singing and dancing
called forth repeated encores. The other
characters, especially Mortimer Mum
bleford," sustained their parts accepta-
bly,. Altogether, Fielding and his Com
edy Ideals have succeeded in convincing
the people that standard comedies can
be ably produced at low rate of admis.

THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING
EXERCISES.

The graduating exercises of the Man
kato High School took place at the Opera
House last evening, and drew forth a
large attendance, as usual. The stage
was respondent with flowers, and across
the center appeared in large gilt letters
the class motto" Fdeli Merces Certa. ~
The class this year was unusually small,
numbering only six. The members
were Misses Minnie Bangerter, Belle
Beatty, Gertrude Walker and Messrs.
Williston Greenwood, VIM. Pfisterer and
Ernest Sheppard.
No doubt the members of the class did
themselves credit, but as THE FREE PRESS
reporter was unable to secure seat near
the stage, which had been engaged early
in the afternoon, and which would have
enabled us to give reasonably good re-
port of the exercises, the house was so
crowded as to render it necessary to oc.
cupy a seat near the entrance which
made it impossible for the reporter ia
distinguish any considerable portion OF
the essays, unless the single exception
of that read by Williston Greenwood is
made. This young man has a clear voice
and distinct delivery, and he handled
ulb buUJcCt III u Lud6IcTIy I1duueT. Dul
it would be gross injustice to the re-
mainder of the class to speak particular.

Mail adyices bring additional news re-
garding the letting of mail contracts in
this territory. One of the most impoi-
tant, the route from Cheyenne via Fort
Laramie to Rawhide Buttes, was awarded
to Wadsworth, of San Francisco, the
manager of Wells, Fargo 4 Co. s express.
This company runs the express business
on the Sioux City & Pacific railroad, the
new road north of Cheyenne, and evil
IDENTIFY expects to control the mail carry
carrying business in Wyoming.
j. G. Abney, of this city, was the low
est bidder on routes 7,l0l and 81, l09,
from Cheyenne to North Bend and from
Cheyenne to Iron Mountain.
George NJ. Drake secured route 37,ll0,
from Fetterman to Deer creek.
The p~ostofice department has sus
pended service on some very important
routes in this section, one of which is the
route from Bordeaux via IVA and La
Bontc to Fetterman, which is of great
importance to many stockmen and other
settlers in the northwestern part of this
county, who reside at considerable distance
from any p~ostoficc on the old stage route
to Fort Laramie. Our delegate in con
gress has heretofore succeeded in keeping
up good and sufficient mail service for the
accommodation of our people, and we
regret to learn that Delegate Carey has
failed to retail the service heretofore Sc
cured by Delegate Post.
A growing country like Wyoming needs
mail facilities to aid in its development.
In no other branch Of the public service
can the government do so much harm to
the people as by a pcnurious policy in the
postal department. The p~ostofice de-
partment received Mr.. Posts constant
attention while in congress, and he sue
ceeded in obtaining for Wyoming all the
service needed. 1t may be good policy
for the department to show a decrease in
expenditures, but economy should not be
practiced at the expense and to the injury
of the pioneer settlers of the west.
Eleven Of the mail routes established by
congress in Wyoming have been left with
out service by the department this year,
and all the people residing near these
eleven routes will be deprived of mail
facilities during the ensuing year.

Galloway was the man who did the shoot

the shots, had been arrested and permit

A serious battle occurred at Camp vii
dersin, on Ferguson street, last evening
which resulted in the appearance Of the
police at that place. B. Wildersin, the
proprietor of the saloon Just south of the
Tivoli corner, has, within the past two or
three days, been on the warpath and has
been pretty well filled up with whisky.
Last evening he made some very bad
breaks and undertook to beat his wife over
the head with a revolver, and partially
succeeded in the undertaking. Eventu-
ally the police took the matter in hand
and a judicial seance will be had over the
affair to-day.
