The Citizens Democratic Ticket
Elected in Every Ward.
The Court House Ring Gets a Set
Back.

A bright, beautiful day dawned upon
Cheyenne yesterday. 1t was a harbinger
of success. Success to the clean, square,
solid citizens ticket. The morning papers
were eagerly sought for by the early ris-
ers. The LEADER, in particular, at
tracted attention by its prompt, clear and
cutting Expose of the schemes and tricks
of the court house ring. Every honest
citizen cheeks burned with Indignation
at the insult to the voters Of the city.
This was by no means confined to the
Democrats, as the result at the polls plain
ly proves. Republicans who always sup
port their ticket, yesterday for the first
time voted for Democrats. The ring also
got very indignant and few to a printing
Office and had the following handful
struck off:
$500 REWARD
VIII be paid on presentation to the
undersigned of each and every Poll
\ = = n
Tax receipt issued by the Treasurer of
Laramie County for the purpose of illegal
voting. ISAAC BERGMAN.
The announcement of $500 reward in
staring black type looked ominous, and
for awhile the ring had things their way.
Finally some bright fellow folded his
hand bill along the line OF stars as above,

Our Wedding Trip.
our wedding day, dear Johns and mipe,
AT last, at last had come;
When we as two should cease to be,
And love and live as one.
How eagerly we talked about
The places where we'd go;
All maiden fear was lulled to rest,
We loved each other SO.
The words were said that made us one
We wept our last good-byes;
Ger summer seas we sailed and sailed
To lands with bluer skies.
Where Amos waters swiftly slip
Meath Ponte yecchio's stones;
Where Santa Croces marble saints
Watch Ger her honored bones.
Where CLEAN the gems OF art divine
ON church and palace walls;
Where on the ear The Slstine chant
Like seraph music falls.
Across fair Naples azure bay,
Where Caprl's smiling shore
Woos those who love TO feast for aye.
Never to wander more.
Through all that land of art and song,
Where love holds sway supreme,
We roamed and quaffed LIES richest draught
And lived as in o dream.
Was this indeed our wedding trip?
No, Only what we talked;
We went from mothers house to Johns
And John and Lboth walked.

had a long talk with the travelling agent
CT one of the largest dashboard factories
IN the United States the other day. Said
he: Millions of washboards are made and
sold in the United States every year, and
at least 7 200, 900 are sold yearly between
the Allegheny Mountains and the Missouri
River. There are two factories in Cleveland
which turn out 200 dozen washboards day,
one in Toledo which turns out 800 dozen
daily, and two in St. Louis which turn out
over million year. There are at least
twenty different varieties of washboards
and the best washboards are made in the
West. The Eastern factories make theii
gashboards of pine. The best wood foi
gashboards is the cottonwood or the syca-
more. Pine is too soft and white pine is too
expensive. The best washboards are made
with dove-tailed heads with wire nails driven
across the grain of the wood. You can buy
he poorer class as low as eighty cents
1ozen at wholesale, and the better boards
cost as high as $215 dozen. A man in
New York has invented washboard which
he has offered to the trade for 50 o dozen,
but it cost too much and will not sell.
Double washboards as those that have zinc
ridges on both sides. The prices of these
run from SLIGO to So per dozen. AT retail
washboards cost %, 80, 35, 40, and so cents
apiece"
Who made the first washboard ~
81 don't know. But the first were made
If wood entirely, and our washerwomen
ased to pound the dirt out of the clothes
with stick by laying them on board.
The first washboards made of zinc were put
upon the market about twenty-five years
ago and the style first invented is found the
best to-day. Washboards made Of glass
are liable to break, and think the best
washboard is the old zinc and wood article.
There is now one made Of o solid piece of
zinc, as rubbing surface, which is very
good. The demand for washboards increases
right along, and suppose our trade will
continue as long as people put on clean
clothes and take off dirty ones.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.--There has been a good
deal OF quiet ommcrt IN legal circles during
the past few DAYS regarding an alleged inter
view with Chief Justice Waite, OF the United
States supreme court, touching the cases OF
The convicted Chicago anarchists. 10 this in
terview the chief justice, who with his daugh-
ter has been sojourning at Colorado Springs,
is made to say that he can see no way by
which the cases can enter the United States
courts unless on a question OF federal law and
a showing that In some way their constitu-
tioual rights have been violated, and thar the
fact .ilat they are foreigners and rot citizens
Of the United States should have no bearing
whatever. He is reported To have added as
the offcnse had been against the laws of the
srate Of Illinois, and IA under that law they
have beer convicted by the jury, he can sec no
way for them to get before the United Safes
c, urt. Several eminent lawyers shy that this

Soap and the Complexion.

Brooklyn Eagle: A new theory has
been started with regard to the use of
soap on the face. Women who for
years have been careful of their COM
plcXions, would never, under any cir
cumstanccs, wash the face with soap,
as it was said to %roughen and coarsen
the skin. Now, this idea is exploded,
and a w"ll-known physician in the
metropolitan profession recommends
his women patients to use it freely
every day, lathcring the skin well
OF course, u fine, oily and pure soap
most DESTROYS. This being ~securedl.
states that none but the most beneficial.
results will be Effected by his method
of improving the skin. He holds-with
considerable plausibility--that the pores
of the face becomes rs much clogged
by grease and dirt as the hands or any
other portion of the body. And if soap
is considered a necessary purifier in
the bath, it needs must be felt equally
OF the face. By an abundant and reg
ular lathering the facial pores, he
claims, are kept open, clean, free from
the clogging matter that produces un-
slightly black heads. ache, pimplcs. and
a pure, healthy, fresh and brighter
complexion is the resultant. Not
mincing matters, he says that the
trouble with most women who have
sallow, pasty skins is that from years
end to years end they never have a
really clean face.
An article published in Good House,
keeping says: Hands kept dirty are
never smooth and white. Absolute
cleanliness is necessary. Many people
who do not work seldom wash their
hands. The days accumulation of dirt
is allowed to remain on the hands all
niget. Upon rising the hands are
washed in cold water; then the pos
SCISSOR wonders why when she does no
work her hands do not look any better.
The hands and face should ALWAYS be
washed in warm soap suds before going
to bed. White soaps are safest. High
ly scented and colored soaps are al
most invariably made from rancid and
ill-smclling fats. After drying them
thoroughly use n few drops of mixed
glycerine and camphor, which the
druggist can prepare you. Drop into
the palm of your hands and rub well,
and this will be all that will be heces-
sary to show decided Improvement"
When you rise in the morning do not
use soap or your face, but battle it well
in warm water. DO your soap scrub
bing only at bed time.

Very Bad Elephants.

Chicago Herald: From Lower India
ome news of particularly mischevious
nocturnal dcpredatious of elephants.
Coffee plantations, rice fields. etc, suf-
fer very severely. The destruction of
the huge brutes is the result of pure
wantonness. Docile and submissive in
service, forgctful of his vast physical
superiority, and even aflectionate to
those whom he knows, while all goes
well the elephant Is Il magnificent ally;
but at the same time, when the smooth
course of peace is interrupted by out
breaks of temper or the spleen of re-
cent capture, there is not a more ''dan-
gerous wild fowl" on the face of the
earth. Only "A little time ago dreadful
stories came home of "a rogue elephant
in Ceyl0n who had killed his keeper
and half depopulated a wide track of
country, dragging luckless men and
women from their huts and pounding
them to death in the village street
taking, in fact, a perfect delight in
bloodshed, and coming back again and
again to gaze on the bodies Of his V c.
tins. But such cases are, fortunately,
rare.
