surprise in the mind o. IL stranger is the
grcat number of banks in these new west
ern towns; they are everywhere numcr-
Gus. But their combined capital would
not suffice to supply n respectable
fraction of the demand for money in,licir

from the east, New England particularly.

gotiated by loan and trust companies.
whose names is legion; there are hundreds
of them in the business. Their method
of procedure is well understood here,
but perhaps a resume of it may be of in
..ercst to eastern readers. They have lean
agents in every small town. who
take application from the party wanting
II loan and forward it to the western Of
fee of the company. Omaha, Kansas
City, Minneapolis, ST. Paul, Lincoln and
Sioux City are the principal ccnters. The
application. if accepted, is filed. aud the
necessary papers being made out they are
forwarded with the money to the fro 1t.
The farmer signs mortgage, running
say five years, for 81, 900. Thcrats of i'm.
tercst he pays is 10 per cent, but it is di-
vidcd in thus way: The principal mort
gage draws Z per cent. and the scmi-an-
nnal interest coupons on this are for S35
each. He then signs n second mortgage
on his farm for an amount equal to B per
cent. perannum for five years on the loan
of 81, 600. This is divided into scmi-an-
nual payments of $15 each-not bearing
interest, as these are really interest notes
payable on the same dates as the inter-
est coupons of the principal mortgage
arc. The loan company then sells the
first mortgage drawing Z per cent. to the
eastern investor, keeping the second
mortgage-or what is really the balance
of tine 10 per cent. interest which the
farmer pays-for its profit.

wood to the Sunrise mines. 1t seems
somewhat unsettled as to the location of
the smelter, whether it is to be here or in

to have a good camp.

Charming interpretations of Dickens
Characters by His son.

A more delighted group of human &C.
centres was never better conceived by the
mind of man. A more thoroughly ap-
preciative Interpretation of some Of the
richest scenes Pickwick affords has per-
haps never been given.
Charles Dickens, the elder, could scarce.
ly have read the trial scene with a more
exquisite sense of the humor of his own
wonderful creative genius. In this chap
ter his son rises to sublime heights of
mimicry and dramatic adaptation. Mr..
Dickens does not read Wrinkle" and
''Tupman," and "Pickwick," and Sam
Weller" and Mrs. Cluppins." He
lives them. For the time being his iden-
tity becomes absolutely merged in theirs.
He is as thoroughly Sergeant Buzfuz''
as ever Edwin Booth was Hamlet" AS
the reading proceeds the man, Charles
Dickens, becomes lost in the character he
presents; the droll conception lives,
breathes, speaks, laughs, sneers and
weeps. Its very physical environment is
presented to the audience, for who can
see in Sam Weller leaning with utter
Inconsistencies upon the brass rails of
the witness box, with his self compla-
cent smile and his vacant, good natured
face, any other than the inimitable Sam"
himself?
In the trial scene Mr.. Dickens work
is Sc thoroughly excellent that the Eng
fish gentleman who reads it is forgotten
entirely. 1t is the character which he
represents that stands forth the marked,
distinctive figure upon which all eyes are
turned.

Deuel. is very popular in Cheyenne. This
city was his headquarters for many years
and the transfer is almost a return home,
as he will frequently visit Cheyenne.

A Visitor From LeadViIle Treated to an
Unexpected Party.

A very pleasant and successful surprise
party wa rendered Mrs. Carrie Lotus
last evening at Keefe hall. Mrs. LOTUS
is now a resident of LeadviIle, but was
formerly well known here as Miss Carrie
Kretzdorn. About a week ago she came
to the city to see her old friends and has
been the guest of MI. and Mrs. Herman
Haas. Her friends concluded to give
some formal manifestation of their pleas
ure at seeing her again and a surprise
party was decided upon. The affair
was managed by the ladies. At
about 9 o'clock Mrs. LOTUS was
callei upon at Mr.. Haas residence by a
large party of ladies and gentlemen. A
rerenade was rendered by the members of
the Mennerchor after which a procession
was formed and the party proceeded to
Keefe hall. There were over one hun
dred people present. The programe con-
sisted chiefly of dancing, with a few songs
rendered by the Mennerchor. A boun-
teous lunch was served at II o'clock.
Dancing was kept up until a late hour.
The occasion was hugely enjoyed by every
one who participated.

Contracts will soon be awarded for the

The commission inspected plans and
specifications for the wings and made a

by the architect.
The financial question came up for con-
sideration. No funds will be available
until January 1889, but members of the
board are confident that arrangements
will be made whereby building can be
commenced at once.
