The session of the Cheyenne Teachers
Institute al the Central school yesterday
was an exceedingly interesting and profit
able one. Prof. ]. U. Churchill. presi-
dent Of the institute, occupied the chair.
The paper on "~Penmanship in the Third
Grade" by Miss Jennie Snow, was read
by Miss Estelle Bullock, Miss Snow being
unable to attend. The paper read by
Miss Helen McCrum on what, How
and How Better" was exceedingly fine,
and the sentiments expressed were emf
nently correct, Prof. Ryckman read a
very interesting paper on "Children's
Rights" which was followed by Prof. j.
o. Churchill with one on Teachers
Rights" Both we're remarkably inter-
esting and sensible. County Superin-
tendent W. A. Wyman then followed
with an interesting paper on the effects Of
alcohol on the human system. Under the
head OF miscellaneous business Miss Christ
introduced a set Of resolutions which were
unanimously adopted, rendering the
thanks Of the institute to Prof Churchill
for his efforts in behalf of the institute,
and declaring it to have been interesting
and profitable TO the teachers. The insti-
tute then adjourned, there having been u
full attendance of members and many
visitors.

Another Father Comes.

Andrew ]. Voght is in luck also, for
his father has put in ar appearance
at the time when his son was in trouble,
and not only in trouble but in jail. Voght,
as our readers arc well aware by this
time, is the man who, while in charge Of
Heath's branch meat market south of the
railroad track, departed for other chimes
with a considerable sum of money, as it is
charged, belonging to Heath. He was
brought back from Denver by Constable
Smalley, and was to have had an exam
nation yesterday. In the meantime
Voght's father comes to the rescue,
Voght is released from Jail on bonds, Mr..
Heath gets his money back, and the case
will probably be dropped.

A duel-but not a warlike one-will oc-
cur this season at Durbin's ranch, some
sixty miles north of Rawlins. in Carbon
county. 1t is to be between two men
whose range names are Mormon George"
and Canada Colen," and the question is
who will be able to pitch the most hay
during the haymaking season. There is
a wager of $500, but this is not what
either of them are looking after, for both
men are well fixed" as the saying is,
and are only out on the range for a year
or two for the benefit of their health.

The following is from the Sullivan
County Republican published at Monte
cello, N. Y, and the Mrs. Mary Ann
Terry spoken OF was the mother of A.
w. Terry and C. II. Terry, both Of whom
belong anong US and are well known
citizens:
Mary Ann, wife Of James Youngs
Terry, was born March 10, 1911. and
died April /, lss6-consequenty being
IS years and Is days old.
James Y. Terry. the husband of the
deceased died Sept. 81, ls4s.
''0f the children of the deceased four
sons are living in the West, one in
Washington, D. c., and the daughter at
Bayonne, N. j.
The deceased never seemed to live so
much for herself as for others, and as
was natural, always manifested an especial
interest in the welfare Of her children,
which in her case, probably enhanced
from the fact that they we're early scat
tered at remote points from home; and
nothing offs temporal nature was dearer
to her to realize, as she frequently did by
letter, that they were honoring her in
her declining years.
The funeral took place from the NJ. Z.
church on Sunday afternoon, attended by
a large audience. The officiating pastor,
Rev. J. J. Dean, being misunderstanding
CONFERENCE.-THE. Duncan c. Davis, OF
Highland Falls, oficiated in his place.
He had been intimately acquainted with
the deceased for many years, and justly
remarked that the character Of the de-
parted needed no encomium from him,
as she had been a living example of our
holy religion, and witnessed by all to
whom she was known-both within and
without the pale of the church.
Thus, another landmark has passed
away from our midst, and the %rallyinO
point of a once happy social circle
broken up"

1t is well known that several weeks ago,
the Union Pacific authorities reduced the
price of its employees, especially of brake
men SO that since that time this class Of
employees have been receiving but little
more than $50 per month. Conductors
were also materially affected by the reduc-
ton. Since that time the railroad en-
ployes have been ~endeavoring to obtain
better terms, and some three weeks ago
a delegation of conductors visited Omaha
to see what can be done, and lately a dele
CATION of brakenen have also gone down
the road on the same mission. The com
pany agreed (as they claim to give them
an answer to their demands IAN increase
of compensation which will amount to
SOS per month";, by April 25. but did not
do SO. A conference is now being held at
Grand Island, Neb., on the subject, and
it is hoped that all differences Of opinion
may be amicably settled.

Another Mining Camp In the Black
Hills.


The Black Hills country is in another
blaze of excitement, and all over the dis
covery of a new mining field about nine
miles east of Deadwood. 1t is said to be
a genuine rival OF Leadville and people
are rushing there from all parts CT the
Black Hills aud even from outside Of that
far-famed country. Parties who are now
in Cheyenne having learned the exact
situation of the new camp are very de-
sirous OF going at once to Deadwood for
the purpose of getting into the new camp
before the rush becomes too great. j.
W. Collins is in possession of many in
teresting facts in regard to this new camp
and will perhaps invest there himself.

! r ASSESSMENT.
rne amount OF TAXABLE Property In the
CITY.

City Clerk w. A. Richards, who is also
ex-oficio city assessor, has completed the
work of making the assessment Of taxable
property, both real and personal, within
the city limits. The work has been well
and thoroughly done, and the result is all
aud more than could have been expected.
The amount of taxable property within
the city Of Cheyenne as shown by the rec
ords Of the assessment is 81, $50, 900, and
an increase over last year Of SIS, 900. The
small increase, however, is accounted for
in this way-and it is surprising that a
falling off was not shown: Times having
been 80 hard of late hat our merchants
and others in business are not carrying
such large stocks of goods as they were
one year ago, and what they do carry
they put in at the lowest possible figures.
The value of real estate in the city has OF
course increased quite largely, and there
have been many buildings built, so that
the city is progressing, although the as
sessment shows but a small increase.

PATTI ROSA.
Her Second Appearance at the Opera
House Last Evening.

Patti Rosa appeared again at the opera
house last night in Bob to a fair sized au-
dience. The play of Bob is much better
than Zip, and Rosa showed to decided
advantage. The little lady is indeed very
clever, and the audience applauded her
most enthusiastically throughout the
evening. The support is very good and
the several players had much better parts
than in Zip. We hope to see Patti Rosa
again very soon, and bespeak for the little
lady a cordial welcome whenever she
chooses 10 come.
