THE METHODIST SOCIAL.
oratory and a Josh billings
Spelling Bee.

The entertainment and sociable at the
Methodist Episcopal church last evening
was a very pleasant affair and was well
attended. Eugenia RAIDER rendered a
piano solo, E. E. Evans acclaimed, Victor
De Prato played the violin and was accom-
panied by Prof. Hutchinson. Miss
Risbel recited and Miss Patterson sang.
The latter was accompanied by Miss
Tuttle.
The feature of the occasion was the
Josh Billings spelling bee. Words were
selected from that eccentric writer's pro-
ductions and submitted to the aspirants
for photographed honors.
Rev. DR.. RAIDER was sent to the foot Of
the class on the word foot" being ig.
norant OF the fact that Billings phonetic
style made it "fut."
Nine scholars were seated on "moun,
tain" In this instance Billings conde,
scended to agree with Webster.
A social followed the rendition of the
programme. Refreshments were served
in the church parlors until 10 o'clock.
Everyone apparently enjoyed the evening
and the proceeds from the sale OF ice
cream netted the church a neat sum.

Several members of the Riley & Wood
company passed the time during their
wait here last evening by firing a base
ball at each other. All went well until the
contortionist wet his fingers, toyed with
the sphere a moment, leaned back and
drove the ball toward a song and dance
man in a zIg-zag. The vocalist and
kicker was undismayed. He calmly
awaited the shock, firmly braoing himself.
The hero stood, but his nose fell fiat. The
ball passed through his hands as if en-
countering no obstruction and landed
firmly on the nasal organ. Blood flew,
the contortionist leered wickedly, the male
spectators smiled and the ladies' shrieked
shrilly. The injured man was cared for
and soon recovered.

A. r. Whitley and Miss Adah E..
Douglas were married at the residence of
the brides parents in this city at A o'clock
yesterday afternoon by Rev. A. W. Will
liams.
Miss Douglas has resided in Cheyenne
almost since childhood. She is hand
some and amiable and has many friends,
Mr.. Whitley is an industrious young
man with fattering prospects. He was
formerly engaged in business in this city,
but now has a real estate Office in Salt
Lake. He is very fortunate in his matri-
monial venture. IF equally lucky in real
estate he will soon be wealthy.
MIR. and Mrs. Whitley left for the West
last evening.

For the water Works.

Five carsof iron pipe, joints and specials
to be used in altering and extending the
water system arrived from st. Louis on
the Cheyenne & Burlington yesterday.
The work of changing the six inch main
on Central venue to twelve inch, which
is already well under way, will be rapidly
pushed to completion. Trenches will be
excavated and pipe laid on the south side,
in the east end and in the northwestern
suburbs. O'Brien & Lawler, the con-
tractors, have employed a large number
of men and will lay pipe and make con-
n%ections with all possible speed.

OPERATORS.
The MathiesOns May Invest in Silver
Crown.
Simply Awaiting Reports from Ex-
perts on the Ores.
Every Probability that the Camp
Will Boom Again.

There is every probability that Mathie-
son Bros. the English capitalists, who
have in a few weeks transformed Hart
vile, a deserted mining camp. into a veri-
table beehive, will assist in the develop
ment of Silver Grown. A representative
of the great copper ma~nipulators recently
visited Cheyenen's mining camp and is
now figuring on the ACCESSIBILITY of invest
ing for the syndicate which controls cap
ital enough to purchase half the territory.
The gentleman, a Mr.. Thomson, like
all men who mean business, was very reti-
cent on the subject, but raised the hopes
of the faithful and persistent by intimat-
ing pretty strongly that if assays were
satisfactory a number of mines would soon
become the property ofthe Mathiesons. He
selected a number ofspecimens and viewed
prospects and mines in Il further stage of
development with the eye of an expert
enced expert.
Assays will be made by the syndicate's
metallurgist at Hartville, a man whose
training enables him to calculate to a
nlcetv the value of the output of any lode.
AT present the matter rests as stated
above. Future action depends entirely
upon Mr.. Thomson's report, which docu-
ment, all may rest assured, will neither be
biased or overdrawn. This condition of
affairs is quite satisfactory. Competent
men have time and again asserted that
with proper facilities Silver Crown ore,
though admittedly a low grade metal,
could be proftably treated. Baker &
johnson demonstrated the fact, and but
for their deplorable misfortunes the
smelter would still be sending forth a
stream of molten matte.
Prof. Stanton, an expert in mining
matters, undertakes to ship the ore from
his Copper King mine to st. Louis for
treatment, and is certain that he will real
ize a handsome profit even by this ex-
travagant method.
The copper future is golden.

HOW They Were Influenced.


The facts which lead to the visit of
Messrs. d. and P. Streeter to this coun-
try to seek homes for themselves and
eight or ten other families, as mentioned
in another column, are worthy Of being
put in type. Some weeks ago D. Streeter
went to the Journal office at Columbus,
Neb., to procure some old papers for his
wife to put on shelves. The Herald ex-
changes with the Journal, and among
other papers Mr.. Streeter got a copy Of
this great truth promulgator. The papers
were taken to his home and duly cut up
and placed on the cupboard shelves. A
few days afterward one of the children
picked up a small piece of paper in the
dooryard, the father saw it and noticed
thereon the words Free Homes for the
Millions" He also found the name of
the paper. That was all. He wrote for
a sample cop and on reading it he and
his brother decided to come and look at
this country. The result will be the i'm
migration of ten good families, who will
settle on the beautiful lands near Lusk.

feet that Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Taylor, we'll

With this sum the shattered fortunes of
the family will be repaired and it is not at
all unlikely that Mr.. Taylor will again m
bark in business in this section.
