RIOT At BRANIyvELL.

Last Tuesday the miners OH the
Bramwcll side of Flat Top were on a
strike for fortnightly instead of
monthly pay days. The colored por.
ton of this element felt very brave
and daring. One, known as Hope
Ward; made some unsavory remarks
regarding thirteen year-old white
girl, Miss Nora Wilson. The. au-
thorities considering the talk liable
to lend to molestation arrested the
man and he was given hearing, be-
ing defended by lawyer whose best
efforts were used to secure his imme-
date release: The speech seemed to
nerve the negroes to attempt his
rescue, and during the time Colonel
Bruce, proprietor Of Blue Stone Inn,
WAS at tea the officers put the prison
er in the room adjoining the hotel
Office, ali act wholly unwarranted, as
it proved to endanger the comfort
and safety of the guests.
About half past nine at night a
crowd of about sixty negroes swarm
ed up to the hotel and demanded to
knew the amount required to secure
Wards release. Col Bruce told
them he had nothing to do with itt
that Ward Was in the hands of the
law; was perfectly safe and should be
kept SO; but that his release was not
thought of. Then the crowd grew
more demonstrative and demanded
to sac their fellow to be sure that no
harm had befallen him. The prison.
er Was led to the door and said he
was not afraid of being harmed
After more demands for his release O
burly negro yelled, We'll burn this
house; we'll burn the d-n town, and
we'll riddle things!' The crowd step
ped back d few PAGES and without
further warning opened q rafting
a. ON the house. Balls whistled in
from three sides of the building, foul
coming inside. There were soule two
hundred shots fired and none oil
them were less than 80 calibre After
the volley the crowd went few
yards down the street and opened

Another negro was shot through the

A QUESTION OF HEALTH.
WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL
WE USE


This plain question comes home
to every housekeeper. We all de-
sire pure and wholesome food and
this cannot be had with the use of
impure or poisonous baking pow
der. There can he no longer Il
question that I'LL the cheaper, lower
grades Of baking powders contain
either alum, lime or phosphate
acid. AS lvath as we may be to
admit so much against what may
have been some of our household
gods, there can he no gainsaying
the unanimous testimony of the of
fetal chemists. Indeed, analysts
seem to find no baking powder eli
tirely free itom some Of these Oh
.jectionable ingredients except the
Royal, a''' :hat they report as
chemically pure. We find some of
the baking powders advertised as
pure, to contain, under the tests of
Professors Chandler, Habirshaw
and others, nearly IL per cent. of
lime, while others are made from
alum with no cream of tartar. This,
we presume, accounts for their
lack of leavening power us some
times complained Of by the cook,
and for the bitter taste found in the
biscuits SO frequently complained Of
by ourselves.
But aside from the inferiority of
the work done by these powders,
the physicians assure us that lime
and alum taken into the system IN
such quantities as this are injurious.
The physiological effects are indi.
gestion, dyspepsia or worse evils.
The question naturally arises,
why Ito these cheap baking pow
der makers use these things Alum
is three cents pound, lime still
cheaper, while cream Of tartar costs
thirty-hye or forty. The reasons
for the chemical purity Of the Royal
Baking Powder were recently given
in the New York Times in an in-
teresting description of a new meth
cd for refining argols, or crude
cream of tartar 1t seems that it
is only under this process that
cream Of tartar can he freed from
the lime natural to it and rendered
chemically pure; that the patents
and plant for this cost the Royal
Baking Powder Company about
half a million of dollars, and that
they maintain exclusive control of
the rights.
Professor McAIutrie, late chief
chemist of the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, d. O., made
an examination of this process, and
reported upon the results obtained
in the refined cream OF tartar. The
following extract from his report
would seem to answer the question
repeated at the head Of this article,
and which is so frequently pro-
pounded by the housekeeper;
II have examined the cream of
tartar used by the Royal Baking
Powder Company in the manufac.
ture of their baking powder, and
find it to be perfectly pure and free
from lime in any form. The chem
ical tests to which have submit
ted the Royal Baking Powder prove
it perfectly healthful and free from
every deleterious substance. The
Royal Baking Powder is purest in
quality and highest in strength of
any baking powder Of which have
knowledge"

A Crazy Man.

VIM. Larkin is the name OF an IN
fortunate imbecile in the city jail.
Larkin was first arrested for creating a
disturbance in a local hotel. He was
soon released and disappeared for a short
time. A few days since he was picked
up on the streets and again incarcerated.
The prisoner has a brother in the employ
of the Union Pacific and his relative has
promised to relieve the city of the insane
man, but has neglected to call for him.
Larkin's insanity, which developed in
Ireland, Is of a very mild type, running
to an inconGruous combination OF religion
and dynamite. In his mind he demolishes
entire cities with the explosive and his
letters on the subjects are very incendiary.
The while he is uEdemonstrative and
obedient.

something "a the Air.

The real estate dealers of Nebraska
and Colorado evince remarkable interest
in Cheyenne. They take its papers, visit
the = occasionally, and keep them
selves informed on its welfare generally.
1t is quite apparent that these men are in
possession of some pretty encouraging
inside facts.
No later than yesterday a reporter was
shown a letter in which a well known
KearneY, Neb., realty dealer offers Mai.
Talbot a very handsome figure for his
patch of land"-as the worthy major
put it-immsdiately northeast of the
Fort Russell military reservation and
nearly four miles from the city. The
tract contains about $50 acres, and the
improvements are not very valuable. The
major has not yet accepted the offer.

county hospital Wednesday of a complica.
ton of diseases. The remains were in
TERED the same day.
Harvey had an extensive acquaintance
throughout the territory and was well
liked. He was a faithful employee, but a
peculiar genius. Woe to the COW hand
who appeared at Hsyey's mess wagon
more than a minute late. HIS meal
would be a light one and reception colder
than the ~victuals. Harvey had a won.
derful gift of CAB" and it was his spec
ial delight to fill the ears of a tenderfoot
with blood curiding yarns of life in the
untamed west. In town Harvey was a
character. He new everyone and all had
had a kind word for the Jolly spirit.

CAN GAMBLE EN- ROUTE,
Scheme to Establish Club Rooms
On the Golden Gate Special.
A First Glass Gambling House for
Sportiye Travellers.
Details of The Shrewd Project of
Cheyenne Men.

The Cheyenne man is entitled to the
palm for enterprise, originality, persist,
ency and goaheadativeness. With him to
think is to act, and his thinker is opcrat-
ing actively pretty much all the time.
Every wealthy man in the city owes his
atiuence not SO much to the sordid money
getting faculty as to his keenness of OBJ.
servatlon and aptness at grasping the sit
uation. Relieve a typical son of the
Magic City OF all his earthly belongings,
crush him to the earth and he comes up
smiling with a new scheme inside of
twenty-four hours. He's simplyirrepres-
sible. If billiards kill his cattle he be-
comes a hide merchant. Whether stocks
are up or down he somehow manages to
be on the right side of the market. His
versatility is another winsome feature.
Failing in n line of trade he tackles
another and eventually comes out on top
somehow. Then his luck is phenomenal.
Why, the writer knows of a CHEYENNE
man who was once inveigled into buying
a running horse that was outfooted by a
sick COW in a trial heat. The owner made a
driving horse of his property and in a week
discovered that it was a trotter and in a
month drove it a mile in better than 2:20.
The above is all pertinent to the nara.
tive which it precedes for an example of
the originality and cleverness of the
Chcyennese is told in the succeeding
lines.
A syndicate composed of local men
whose names must be withheld for the
present, are negotiating with Union Pa
ciic and Central Pacific officials with a
view to securing the gambling privileges
of the famous Golden Gate special train!
The projectors of this strange enter
prise propose to establish splendid
club rooms in one OF the magnificent cars
OF the gorgeous train. They agree to
enter into heavy bonds conditioned that
all games dealt or played shall be perfect
ly square, that there shall be no brawling,
and in short that the gambling house on
wheels will be well regulated.
The club room itself will be perfect in
every detail. The bank rolls will be large
and stakes high. The company will be
directly interested In the games, as the
proposed arrangement gives them one
third Of the gross winnings of the faro
table, o~ne-quarter from the roulette and
fifty per cent of the 'rake-of'' from the
poker games. Pools will be sold on all
sporting events and the percentage equally
divided. Tie legal advisors of the sydi-
cate give the opinion that licenses could
not be collected from a gambling house
continually on the move. If the pending
deal is closed the club rooms will be
opened soon after Jan. l.
To a man of the world the scheme
looks plausible. The patrons of the high
priced train are wealthy and all of them
gamble more or less. Under the club
system they could pleasantly pass
away the time while making the long
trip.

an Insignificant affair in the roof of the

The Boomerang says that a report was
in circulation to-day that the city council
had instructed Marshal Yelton to prohibit
the rafting of turkeys in saloons, as the
practice comes under the head of gam
bling. The rnmor was erroneous, how.
ever, and originated wholly in the fertile
imagination of some person unknown.
Rafting turkeys Is, by the way, rather
a vicious pastime to be tolerated in such a
moral burg as Laramie.
