MANvLLE, Wyo., Dec. 24.-There
have been many improvements made here
the past summer and fall. The walls OF
our new stone Methodist Episcopal church
26x40 are up. Shelters stone building,
22x50, two stories, also of stone is about
completed. The second story is to be
used as a town hall, the first floor for a
general merchandise store. w. q. Greg
DRY has Just finished a good stone building
which he will use as a meat market. In
early spring we hope to have a good stone
school house built, to cost 1000. 90, the
stone and sand are to be hauled this
winter. Teams are now at work hauling
rock and sand for the grist mill to be
completed and running by the LIST of o.

FREE FISH.
The Work of the Territorial Fish
Hatchery near Laramie.

Yesterdays boomerang contains a very
interesting article on Wyoming's fish
hatchery located near Laramie.
There are now half a million eggs and
6S, 700 fish on hand. The fish are species
of trout and salmon. Large numbers of
carp have been planted in the territory,
but the fish commissioner says hat they
have not met with favor. At present
only five out of the ten counties in the
territory have county fish commissioners,
the fortunate ones being as follows: Lar
annie. DR.. W. N. Hunt; Albany, Otto
Gramm; Carbon. B. F. Northington;
johnson, w. f. Davis; Converse, Frank
Lusk.
What reports have you from the
different streams you stocked last year2"
Il stocked all the streams east of the
Black hills as far down as Sybille, and so
far as heard from they are doing nicely
and growing fast. L put 1900 Eastern
brook breeders in the Big Laramie river
and also 5000 l-year-olds, and they can
now be seen spawning along the rifles.
This is a new experiment, putting in
breeders instead of little fish, but L am
confident of good results. The north fork
of the Little Laramie has also been
stocked. and plenty of trout can now be
seen In that stream"
DO you expect to stock the streams
with any other fish except trout"
Il have contracted for some black aud
striped bass 10 be furnished me early in
the spring, which will be placed in Hut
toms lake, lone lake and the lakes at the
foot of the snowy range west of here"

Fit as a Fiddle.

Here's that dead horse" remarked
A. Martin, as he halted in front of THE
LEADER Office yesterday with his famous
t%rotter, Ned Biddle. The speedy animal.
shaggy-coated and bare-footed. was be-
tween the shafts of a light road wagon,
and seemed full of life. The shoulder
thrown" at Denver last spring is healed
after a blistering, and if one can Judge by
the horses behavior. he will have no
more trouble on that score. Ned stood
sauarely, moved off readily, pulled on
the bit a trife, and did not favor the in
iured member the least. 1t is certain
that Biddle will be good as ever when the
season again opens. He is a great horse,
and has yet to make his best mark.

New York Telegram.

New York telegram
Every theatrical season is full OF sur
prises, some agreeable aud some other
wise. The most remarkable surprise of
the past year has been the success of
'Adonis, a very agreeable surprise for
the managers of the Biiou Opera house
and Messrs. Rice & Dixey. So far as
the original work done on 'Adonis' Xoes,
it is little more than a frame for the work
of others, Nothing more was contem-
plated THAI d sketch which would furnish
a setting for the spe~, ialties of Mr.. Henry
E. Dixey and such other work as it might
seem advisable from time to time to incor-
porate in the burlesque. When it was
first produced some six months ago, it
was thought it might run between fifty
and a hundred representations here. On
the 25th of June its 30Oth performance
will be celebrated. 1t will thus be seen
what was called on its production n bur-
lesque nightmare is now a nightmare of
another color, and like the chameleon, it
is constantly changing. If New York
ever tires of 'Adonis' it will go to Bos-
ton"

ent as They Sat i'm the Chairs.
After tn e meeting of the committee
several noted Republican wirepullers
grouped together in the rOtunda of the
Merchants. Oil Inspector II. B. Willis
was solitary in his meditation, however.
He believed that Blaine was truly sim
cere in his letter, although Mr.. Blaine
had for long time been misunderstood
and misrepresented. "Those who
know him as l do," asseverated the
oil inspector, 'knOw very well that he
is sincere. 1t is true that he has
generally been regarded as poll
tician and an ambitious office-seeker,
but | know the man, and now the peo-
pie know him."
Ex-Clerk of Supreme Court Sam
Nichols, Lawyer ID. f. Reese and Jake
Wilson, were enjoying a quiet tete-a-
tete. Mr.. Nichols has not interested
himself very much in state politics of
late, while Messrs. Reese and Wilson
are shining lights of the local young
Republican element. Mr.. Nichols
thought Blaine was sincere Cues
toned as to whom might be the second
choice he said, significantly: Blaine,
Sherman, Allison"
"AllisOn is a stronger man than Sher-
man." was the opinion of Mr.. Reese,
while Mr.. wilson, Venturlng to speak
upon gubernatorial prospects, said ::
'What we do want is good man-One
who has good financial standing. We
want to get the state back to where it
used to be-"
Joel Heatwole was leaning against
the register when the orator, Mr.. Sum-
ner, of Minneapolis, whose voice Is as
grand and hollow as the tone of a we'll
seasoned violin, came up. 81 think Mr..
Blaine is sincere" said Mr.. Sumner,
''but believe he would accept the NOM
nation" 'Well, let's take him at his
word" interposed the Northfeld editor
with Supplicating gesture.

TALKING FOR HISCOCK.
William Walter Phelps Says His
cocks Chances are as Good as
Biaine'S Were Four Years Ago.

William Walter Phelps Says His
cocks Chances are as Good as
Blaine's Were Four Years Ago.
NEW YORK, Feb. IA Washington
special says: While these Western
booms are being started a remark
dropped in private conversation by
William Walter Phelps has opened the
ears of the Sherman, Allison and Cul-
lom men with snap, and caused the
Hawley contingent from the East to
raise its ears in aStoniShment. Mr..
Phelps is quoted as saying to a South
ern man, who asked his opinion about
the meaning of Blaine'S letter and its
probable effect in the advancement of
other candidates, that it was altogether
probable that Senator Hiscock, of New
York, would become the legatee of
Blaine and that he would go into the
national convention with New York,
New Jersey ana all the other Eastern
and Middle states except COnnecti-
made Mr.. HiscOck an important
factor in politics. If he was aware
of any plan on the part of the Blaine
men to take him up instead of the
Maine knight, it would account for his
mOdeSty and reticence when asked by
correspondents to say what he thought
Mr.. Blaine meant by his letter. But
Mr. HiScock'S chances for nomination
are certainly not smaller than were
those of Garfield seven years ago.
Many Republicans regard him as a man
whom they could support quite as cor
daily as they supported Garfield
There is a growing impression here
among men who are not we'll acquainted
with the feeling of the Empire state
that HiscOck would prove an extremely
popular candidate. 1t looks as if the
result of the publication of Blaine's
letter would be to encourage all the as
pirants for the presidency to make
heroic efforts to enlarge their respective
followings, go into the national con-
ventiOn for dozen candidates, and
then perhaps, under the inspiration OF
the Kansas and California hurrah,
break for Blaine and nominate HIM by
acclamation on the first ballot. All of
his friends agree that he would not
refuse nomination under these cir
cunStannpS
