Gen. Crook, who has been spending a
day with old military comrades at the
post, has left for Omaha. The gen
ersl has lust returned from a visit to
Uncompahgre, Uinta. and White river
Utes. and in conversation with THE
LEADER scribe voiced some very gloomy
views Of the situation.
He considers the Indians Of all three
Of the bands, very ugly" and ascribes
the threatening state of affairs to the
immunity enjoyed by these Indians for a
long series Of massacres' and outrages.
The Meeker massacre, the Thornburg
slaughter, and the killing of a party of
prospectors near the Arizona line about
a year ago, together with other minor
killing. have whetted the Ute appetite for
blood, and they have formed an idea that
they can glut that appetite with i'm
punity.
Some months since a white man was
murdered by the White River
Indians, and while the murdercrs
are well known, no attempt has
been made to bring them to justice.
and in consequence the Indians are grow
ing holder and more dangerous every day.
IL the mountains adjacent to the res
ervation are a number of Indian renegades
who never have staid on the reservation,
and never will. These incite the main
Indian bands to acts Of violence and blood,
and form a n%euclus, in inaccessible retreats,
for the gathering of the turbulent and
dissatisfied. The general thinks he will
be able 10 Illustrate any attempt at an
outbreak at present, as he has six com
panies in and about the Indian country.
The general made the trip from the
railroad to the reservation in an ambu
lance, and has been absent from Omaha
since the 9th ofthe month.

IndorsIng the Address orthe Democratic
Coppittee.

The Fetterman Budget. n very liberal
and well conducted paper, says:
The Democratic territorial central COM
mittee has set Saturday, Oct. 2, as the
day for holding its convention, and Raw
Inns the place. The apportionment OF
delegates is: Albany I, Crook 3, Carbon
6. Fremont A.. Johnson s., Laramie 10,
Sweetwater 4, Uinta 6. Total 45. An
address Ito the Democracy of Wyoming
was issued, which, after giving Delegate
Carey a prod or two under the fifth rib,
says that I'm order to rebuke the grow
ing spirit Of LEGAL jealousy and sec
tIonal strife, It seems proper to suggest
that the standard bearer Of the party
should be a man whose record shall iden
tify him with the welfare Of our whole
chrysalis commonwealth, and who shall
be capable Of ignoring the petty bias Of
locality in Difference to the common
wants Of all" With reference to nomi-
nations for council and house, the ad.
dress says: The past is TO fresh TO re
quire comment on the glazing defects
and serious blunders which have wrought
injury to all without working benefit to
any interest, or the people Of Wyoming.
Let practical men, capable of looking
forward to that future of establishing
prosperity which wise legislation would
assure. be nominated in every county
men selected for the general confidence,
which their nomination would inspire. y
The whole concludes with an appeal FOL
an honest vote. 1t is, truly, a readabl,
and sensible document

A FIRM.
The Great Hardware Establishment
OF Draper, Organ & Kelly.


1t is doubtful whether there is to day
in the entire West a hardware establish
ment equal in all respects to that of
Messrs. G. A. Draper, @. P. Organ and
Fl. B. Kelly, of. Cheyenne, who have just
taken possession By purchase Of the Chey-
enne Hardware company's business on
Ferguson street, in Cheyenne. with
branch houses at Buffalo in johnson
county. and Fort Fetterman. in Albany
| county, Wyoming. "a
The house was first established in 1867,
and after various changes of ~proprietors,
it was in December 1875, purchased by
Geo. A. Draper and J.fW. Hammond of
the then proprietor, Henry houseman.
In March 1880, Mr.. Draper sold out his
interest to his partner. Mr.. Hammond,
who shortly thereafter sold the entire es.
Enlistment to U. p. Organ. the business
being then for a time carried on under
the firm name of G. P. Organ & 20.
Later OF the firm Of Dare & Collins be-
came the proprietors Of the establish
ment until the organization aud incorpora
ton of the Cheyenne Hardware com
pany, which conducted the business until
the recent purchase.
The business Of the establishment has
increased to such an extent that while it
was formerly conducted in one large store
room, 24xS0 feet, it now takes two rooms
with a frontage of As feet by l2O III length
in which to carry on the business Of the
home establishment.
The firm has in its employ a number of
first class timers, and this department
and branch of the business of the firm is
carried on in the upper story of the Hard
ware block. Everything in this line which
can be manufactured in the finest estab-
lishments of the Fast, can here be turned
out on the shortest possible notice and in
the latest and most approved style. 1t
will be impossible to make more than
mere mention of the gigantic stock con
stantly kept on hand by this firm. In
addition to everything which can posi-
bly, be mentioned in this line, the firm
alss keep on hand and for sale at their
large warehouse on Nineteenth street, a
full and complete stock 0 ffarming nipple
ments. including plows, scrapers, hay
stackers, moving machines, etc. In fact,
a complete stock of everything needed in
the ranch business.
The sales of this firm are enormous and
their trade extends not only to all parts Of
Wyoming Territory, but to Dakota,
Northern Colorado and Western Nebras
ka, and their prices are more reasonable
than those of any house in either Of the
places named. this being in part due Il
their judicious purchases, which are al
ways large. They purchase and offer 70
sale nothing but frst-class goods and ma
terial of every kind.
1t would be superHuous to make NOR,
than Il passing ~allusion to the members o
this firm. G. A. Draper, who was for
merly sheriff and county commissioner Of
Laramie county land now a member Of
the city c%ouncil) is a practical and expert
enced hardware man, while Messrs. H. B.
Kelly and @. P. Organ have also had
much experience in the same line. All
three are sagacious, upright and honora-
Die business men, and we predict for them
not only n liberal patronage, but I'M

The danger to the public health from the
indiscriminate use of the many lime and
alum baking powders of commerce has been
50 fully exposed that everybody desires 10
avoid them. As "forewarnedis Is forearned, !"
honsekeepcrs will thank Us for apprising
them of the special efforts at present being
made 10 dispose of such powders in this VI
cinity
The propriciors of some Of the worst oF
these powders are now going from house
TO house, trying by means of trick, or So
called test, with heat and water, to show
that their article is ls good as the Royal
Baking Powder, making the comparison
with this brand because everybody recog-
nizes II TO be absolutely pure and whole
some, the object, of course, being TO supply
stheir own goods In place of the ROYAL,
which housekeepers have for SO many wears
relied upon to puff up the morning bise ait,
and to make the light, palatahle, and whole
some roll, cake, and pastry for which i is
famous.
The housekeeper will do we'll 10 be on
her guard against these baking powder
tramps. Every intelligent person knows
that any goods peddied from house to

goods well known to be pure and reliable,
have no merits of their own. and have
failed to find purchasers through legitimate
means.
We are informed, as matter of fact, that
one of these tramps is trying to introduce a
powder that has been found BY the Govern
ment chemist 10 be II.S5 per cent lime.
while the other peddles a powder that is 20
per cent alum one powerful caustic, the
other corrosive poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt to
deceive any intelligent person. The house
keeper who has used her Royal Baking
Powder ever since she discarded cream of
tartar and soda, knows more about its quail
titles than all the tramps in the country can
teach her. The crucial test to which she
has put the Royal Baking Power the
test of actual and successful work in the
preparation of pure and wholesome food,
under which it has never failed is entirely
satisfactory to her. She has always had
s'good luck" with 1t in making light sweet,
and delicious bread, biscuit, and cake, and
has placed it, to stay, at the head of her
housekeeping favorites. She knows that II

that the baking powder tramp who attempts
to supplant its place in hel confidence will
