AN OFF YEARS BIG RESULTS.


That we do not always appreciate the
advantages and growth of our town as
they should be appreciated is clearly evil
denced by the fact that members of the
legislature who seldom visit here were
unaffectedly surprised at what VIZ had to
show them. Confidence in a community
is everything, and confidence is best man
Tested in permanent improvements. In
the matter of business blocks and private
residences we have done remarkably well,
but the building Of the capitol and Union
Pacific depot has carried us altogether be-
yond the ambition of Eastern towns of
twice our population. We are now no
longer content that Cheyenne shall be a
thrifty little city, but can see that we
must in the very near future occupy ex-
actly the same relations toward Wyo-
ming that Omaha now occupies toward
Nebraska.
The eloquent Tom Patterson, who has
invested much money in Denver real os-
tate, and has naturally made a very care
full study of the situation, said in n recent
conversation with Secretary Shannon:

THE CHICAGO.
A Cruiser That Has FULFILLED the Condi-
tions on Which 1t Was Built.

A Cruiser That Has FULFILLED the Condi-
tions ON Which 1t Was Built.
When it was determined to reconstruct the
United States navy some years ago, John
Roach, of Chester, Pa, was given a contract
TO build four steel vessels. The last of these,
tho Chicago, made her trial trip in December
last.
The Chicago was without masts or guns,
but was weighted TO bring her down to tho
mean draft when these arc furnished. The
trial trip was made under tho command of
Capt. II. b. Robson on Long Island sound, n
run Of six hours at full speed. Starting at
Execution rocks she steamed eastward for
three and a half hours, then westward for
two and n half hours-the tide being adverse
both way~s-rcturuing TO the Brooklyn navy
yard.
Tho Chicago is n twin screw cruiser. Her
length is 334 Is feet over all; depth, "a 34
feet from cardboard streak TO under side of
spar deck; extreme breadth, As Is feet;
main draught at lead line, 10 feet; displace-
ment, $500 tons; indicated horse power,
5000. She is divided into ten main
water tight compartments, four of which,
amidships, aro occupied by boilers md en-
gines, with n double bottom underneath.
Her power consists Of two compound over
head beam engines, which has led to some
sharp criticism by English authorities in
nava architecture, it being claimed that
such machines arc obsolete. Tho engines are
also regarded too heavy for the amount of
power developed, and the boilers nre con-
sidered faulty. The cruiser will DO bark
rugged. TIL trip was quite successful, tho
power developed being quite up to the re
quirements of tho contract. She will, how
ever, take considerable water, as was shown
on tho trial trip.

The feeling is general, even among
cattlemcn, that the maverick law should
be repealed. Attorney General Donzel-
mans recommendation is that mavericks
be treated as cstrays, advertised and sold
at public auction, the proceeds to 20 to
the school fund. a cttlcman suggests
that the money thus realized, instead OF
going into the school fund, should 20 into
the general fund, to be used for the ben

an infant six months old was attacked with Il
remedies failing, we called our family physician
who attempted to cure 1t bnt 1t spread with

OF his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash, ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious. We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised to try the CUrICURA RENE

three or four weeks a complete cure was

HE LOST HIS HAT.

The hotel custom of supplying a rack
outside the dining hall door where hats
are to be deposited depends for its success
on the honesty of the guests, and it some
times happens that while the man is stow
ing away good square meal, some
stranger is quietly vanishing with his hat.
This generally depends on the quality of
the hat. A pleasant-looking man came
out of hotel dining-room recently in that
complacent mood which good dinner in
spires, and discoyed that his hat was gone.
care you sure you left It on the rack9"
inquired the headwaiter.
"Of coarse am, 'said the bare headed,
unfortunate man.
"Some one has probably taken it by mis-
take" rejoined the waiter, reassuringly
"you had better 90 down to the office and
watch all the hats that come in"
This advice seemed sound so the guest
proceeded to scrutinize all the head-gear
in sight. Hats of all sizes, eolors and kinds
passed in review. At length, however, the
gaze of the bareheaded guest was concen-
trated on the hat which a tall man was
wearing and he fastened up to him.
"Will you kindly let me look on the in.
side of your hat" he inquired with eyes
fastened on the familiar derby.
"What for?''

''Well, If you want to see the inside you 4

HE WANTED TO GET OUT.

He was an express messenger on the
Santa Fa few days ago. II was night
run, and there were two passengers in the
car. just as it began to grow dusk the
train stopped at small station and a dead
body was taken aboard. Nothing particu-
lar was thought of this, however, and as
there was nothing TO do, and the tain
would not stop again for long distance,
both messengers prepared to go TO Sleep
One of them decided that the box contain.
ing the body would be a good place rest
on, so he arrangedhimself to comfortably
thereon and went to sleep.
How long he slept he has no idea, but
suddenly, as If in dream, he heard a voice
say:
"Let me out"
The messenger, startled, half awake for
moment, when in no uncertain tone came
the words, apparently from within the head
of the box on which he slept;
oh you, let me outp'
1t is quite distance from where the box
lay to the other end of the ear, but the
messenger is positive he cleared il in two
jumps. Trembling with fear. he shouted
to his companions, but before he had
chance to tell his story the self-same voice
exclaimed:
II want TO get out of here"
Neither of the men spoke for moment,
and then the man who had first heard the
voice said; "Jim, that corpse wants to get
out"
Jim thought for a moment and then said .
"lVell, / recon it wouldn't be right to
keep him in there is he wants to get out
So the two cautiously made their way to
the head of the box and debated what to do
when the same mufiled voice was heard to
remark:
Polly wants a cracker"
Then the mystery was explained. Some
one at Denver had expressed parrot to a
friend in Kansas City. Its cage had been
sent away and forgotten, and the bird had
naturally become hungry and thirsty. So
it waited as long as it could and then made
itself heard in the manner that so Mortified
the express messenger.

GRIEF FOR THE DEAD.
BY ANONYMOUS

hearts that never cease to yern!
o brimming tears that meier are dfied!
The dead, through they depart, return
AS though they had not died!
The living are the only dead:
The dead liye,--neyermore to die:
And often, when we mourn them fed,
They never were so night
And though they lie beneath the waves,
Or sleepwlthin the churchyard dim.
(Ah! through how many different graves
Gods children go to himD-
Yet every grave gives up its dead
Ere it is overgrown with grass;
Then why should hopeless tears he shed.
Or need we cry, Alas?
Or why should Memory, yelled with gloom,
And like sorrowing mourner eraped,
Sit weeping DER an empty tomb,
Whose captlves have escaped?
T Is but mound,-and will be mossed
Whene'er the summer grass appears;
The loved, though wept. are never lost;
We only lose-our tearsl
Nay, Hope may whisper with the dead
BY bending forward where they are:
But Memory, with u backward tread,
Communes with them afar.
The joys we lose are but forecast,
Andwe shall find them all once more
