At the meeting of the Good Tcmplars
on Monday night, at which an election of
officers took place, a movement was in
augurated in support of the Turrill bill
for the closing of saloons on Sunday. A
committee of three for each ward in the
city was appointed to circulate petitions
asking for the passage of the bill. Yes
terday these committees were diligently
at work obtaining signatures, but were
not so successful as they expected to be,
many persons objecting to sign the petit
ton on the ground that if one class Of
business, the proprietors OF which pay
$500 per year for the privilege, are to be
closed up on Sunday, it would be no more
than right to require all other places Of
business, the proprietor of which pay no
license at all, to close also. Many refuse
to sign who would do so if it contem-
plated the closing up Of all places OF
business ON Sunday.

THE LEADER last evening was favored
with u special dispatch from Denver, ad
vertising a certain travelling show that is
now on the boards in that city. The tele-
gram was somewhat lengthy and, we sup
pose, on that account was sent to The
LEADER with charges to be collected on
delivery. As VIC do not pay C.. o. d.
charges on special dispatches containing
show advertisements the enterprising man
ager did not make connections. The
company will probably come to Cheyenne
provided our show people will pay C.O.D.
charges.

A pleasant chat with Special Agent
Wallace, of the department Of justice, by
a representative of THE LEADER yester-
day disclosed the fact that that gentle
man is very %favorably Impressed with
nearly everything he has discovered in
Wyoming. He is much impressed with
the wonderful energy displayed by our
people in making the desert to bloom
as a rose" aud, above all, he is gratiied
at the condition Of the affairs Of our ter
ritory. not only having no territorial debt,
but with a surplus in the treasury OF
about $40, 900, and in this respect, he
says, Wyoming is more fortunately stu
ate1 than any OF the other territories.

No MIX About That.

A very unfortunate thing happened tC
Tom D, the well known cattleman,
on Sunday evening. He has a fine young
COW which he has been breaking to milk,
and got her so well trained that on Sun.
day evening, being dressed in his best
for church, he did not 90 to the trouble
OF putting on an old suit while milking.
The result was that the young COW, think
ing Tom was putting on a little too much
style, kicked him about forty feet into a
very undesirable portion of the barnyard.
Mr.. D-picked himself up and plod-
ded into the house. when Mrs. D
seeing his sad plight. exclaimed. why,
Tom, what's the matter? Did you spill
milk all over yourself?' Tom was dis
gusted, or at least he appeared that way,
and looking first at his wife and then at
himself, exclaimed woefully, milk, milk
There's no milk about that"

SESSION.

hOANlNh CEoolON.
After the house had settled down to
work yesterday morning, the first matter
to come before it was the notice from the
council of the passage by that body ofsev-
eral measures, at yesterdays session
The attention of the chair was called to
the mysterious disappearance of books,
writing material, rules and other articles
from the desks of the members. and it
was suggested by that officer that the
members be more careful in future to OBJ
serve the rights of their colleagues.
Notices Of bills to be introduced at a fu-
ture date were given as follows
By Mr.. Downey-A.bill for the relief of
the Douglas william Sartoris Co. Also a bill
providing for the manner in which wills
should be executed in Wyoming Terri
tory.
By Mr.. Russell-Relating to coal mines
aud providing for the safety of the lives,
health and property Of those engaged
therein.
By Mr.. Misunderstanding for the
appointment of deputy sheriffs in Carbon
county.
By Mr.. O'Brien-To encourage the
growth of trees in Wyoming Territory.
BY Mr.. Genter-Providing for the APP
pointment of a game inspector, and de-
filming the duties of the Office.
The bill authorizing the construction
of a sewer system in Laramie City was
read and laid over until Wednesday for
consideration. The amount for which
that city must bind itself for pur-
poses must not exceed 10000: the time
of payment is limited to thirty years,
and the rate of interest to G per cent.
The bonds shall not be sold at less than
95 per cent of their face value.
The bill of which Mr.. Whitehouse had
given notice, to regulate the weighing of
coal, etc, at the mines, was read. 1t is
quite lengthy, and in addition to regulat-
ing the weighing, defines certain mis-
demeanon and fixes the punishment of
the same. An emergency clause is at
tached. Referred.
Mr.. Knights bill, regulating the cleo
ton of school trustees, among other things,
provides that no person will cast a vote
where money is at question before the
school district unless such person paid a
property tax for the support of the schools
on the preceding year. 1t is made obliga-
tory to teach physiology and hygiene in
all the schools and especially the effects OF
alcoholic drinks on the human system.
| Only those qualified to teach in this line
shall be licensed.
The JOINT resolution in regard to the or
dering of newspapers for members of the
house and council, having been returned
from the council with am amendment, il
which the house refused t. concur, and
asked that a conference committee be ap.
pointed. Considerable time was occupied
in the discussion ofthis matter, and quite
a little fun was had over the matter,
The vote by ayes and nays on the motion
to postpone consideration Of the resolution
indefinitely stood Ayes Q; nays l2f alb
sent 3, indicating in some degree thu
proportion of progressive TO old iogl
members in the present house.

The headless body discovered some
months ago buried among the bluffs south
of the city, and which like Banquo's
ghost, will never down" is again the
subject of comment, and some wonderful
things have been re~vealed-in the mind
regarding the mysterious case 1t is said
that a certain detective lately arrived in
the city knows all about the matter. If
any one will take the trouble to interview
City Marshal Schnitser they will learn
something about the detective" referred
to. So much for so much.

The engrossing and enrolling clerks OF
the two houses had considerable work to
do yesterday for the first time during the
session.
1t has been definitely settled at last
that the joint committee on the revision
of laws shall have authority to employ
two clerks instead of one.
In countries where the wind blows all
the time people get so they don't notice
it, and if a legislator talks all the time,
or even two-thirds of the time, his talk
won't amount to a great deal.
A little bill granting additional COM
pensation to w. j. Mcintyre, late clerk
of the revision commission, was rather
unceremoniously sat down upon in both
branches of the legislature Yesterday.
Some of the members of the legisla-
ture say that the bill to repeal the law
giving the liquor license to the city of
Cheyenne is showed under some
where among the council committees.
The house decided yesterday to request
Secretary Morgan to place in the hands
of the joint committee on revision of
laws the work and material placed in his
hands by the late revision commission.
Fl. V. S. Groesbeck was yesterday
voted the privilege of the floor of the
house of representatives. CROSBY"
don't know-can't tell, exactly-whether
matters will move along smoothly or not
unless he is there, and, consequently, he
is going to be on the safe side.
Speaking of presidential affairs sug-
gests the TACT that there have not been in
any of the Wyoming legislatures two
more distinguished and competent pre-
siding officers than President Blake, OF
the council, and Speaker Kerr, of the
house Of representatives.
Quite a heated discussion took place in
the house Of representatives yesterday
during recess, the question being whether
a bill should be first referred to the print
ing committee before reference to its APP
propriate committee or not. The rules
ought to settle that matter.

City Clerk w. A. Richards yesterday

In the exposition hall of the Dallas
State Fair, there are many and varied
interesting exhibits, and one of the
most attractive is that OLA. &. Quicker

with excellent COED taste, Messrs
Quicker and Erb have arranged fine
display of their goods, consisting OF
beautiful toilet cases, books of ali
kinds from child's t9 most elegant
poems, hymnals, prayj books, fine
stationery, and in fJ.c everything
usually kept in book and stationery

which may be desired from their beau
tiful exhibit by visitors. The display
must have cost them $4,000. Visitors
to the exposition should hunt out the

fully rival China Hall for either selec-

which the human family is not exempt
For example, less than two years ago
there lived in Austin a very noted news
paper correspondent who is now prom

banks Of that classic stream known as
Buffalo Bayou, into whose limped waters
for 10 these many years the body Of Dan
McGary has annually been dipped in
order to ''pizen" the millions of screech-
ing frogs that infest its banks and then
makes night hideous in the springtime.
He had genius, strong passions, quick
sensibility and was recognized as a firm,
| grave (whsn he moved that.linen duster),
serious man. The possessor of an eter-
nal hankering after public "pap", he es-
poused the reelection of Governor Ire

tive OF self-preservation. After the cleo
tion of Governor Ireland he made a wild
desperate effort for a certain secretary
