There is still more or less trouble in the
district court over the ditch cases, which
are so well remembered by the readers of
THE LEADER. The latest phase in these
cases is a wrangle between the attorneys
and the clerk of court over the amount Of
costs that have been taxed against each
contestant-the attorneys in some cases
offering to deed the bitches over to the
clerk if he will call it square, and the
clerk of court on the other hand contend
ing that he is entitled to all the fees he
has charged up in these cases.

CLIMATIC CAPERS.
Wet at One Point and Dry at
Another.
Thunder Showers, Cloud Bursts
and Raging Storms,
Coupled With Absolute Drouth in
Other Places.

Those who have paid any attention to
the weather in this county during the
summer aunot fail to be struck with the
idea that there is something almost luck
plicable in the way we in Laramie county
have been treated in the matter of weather
during the past three or four months.
In April in this portion of the county
there was scarcely any rainfall and even as
far back as March there was generally
fine weather, especially from about the
9th OF that month until the 18th.
During the month OF May in Cheyenne
there were but four days hat did not wit
ness a fall of rain, and there was plenty
of moisture all over the southern portion
OF the county so far as could be ascer-
tanned.
Later ON everything was on the point of
drying up even here in Cheyenne. and
then came a little rain. After this we
were treated to one of the hottest and
one of the most prolonged heated
terms ever known in Wyoming. Since
that was over-well, everybody knows
what the state of affairs has been. Here
in Cheyenne, out on Horse creek, up in
the foothills and even out on the Chug-
water it has been a succession of terrific
thunder storms, cloud bursts, and heavy
falls Of rain followed with cold, chilling
winds, until u people know what the
bill of fare will be for each day. 1t is
about as follows;
Hot, sultry and close in the morning,
extremely hot in the middle of the day,
thunder shower No. l about 3 p M, No.
2 an hour later. and later on hot, sultry,
'muggy'' and close without a breath of
air, and then for a change we got another
thunder shower or perhaps a cloud burst.
This is not exactly the record for Chev-
enne, but it will come pretty near telling
the weather story for all hat portion of
Laramie county lying south of Chug-
water.
Right here comes in the most singular
part Of the record. for north of the Chug
or at all events at Fort Laramie and vicin-
ity, there has not been a drop Of rain this
summer, while down on the Chugwater,
forty miles away, they have so much rain
that everything has been soaking wet all
summer, it has been as dry as the great
Sahara of Africa around Fort Laramie.
Now this state of affairs upsets the old
time theory that storms out on the plains
will necessarily fall in the streams, for
Fort Laramie is right on the shore of the
North Platte riyer-the largest river in
this portion of the far West and yet we
see that storms have not followed it up or
down during the present season. Hence
it is that the history of the weather in
Laramie county during the present season
is such that weather prophets and scien
tests will have to organize and put in
vogue some other system of climatic and
weather guessing than that which they
have heretofore made use Of out here on
the plains.

THE NEBRASKA CAPITALISTS.
They Take a Trip to wendoyer and
HartYiIle.

The Nebraska gentlemen whose IN
were mentioned in THE LEADER of yes
terday, went out on the Cheyenne &
Northern railroad early Yesterday morn
ing accompanied by Ex-Governor Warren
and others and brought up in due time at
Wendover, the northern terminus Of the
road.
From that point two of them went to
Hartville and returned to Wendover in
good season so that the passenger train
which was held for awhile at the end of
the track to await their return was but a
little behind time last evening, when il
reached the city with the entire party
aboard.
These gentlemen were greatly pleased
with all they saw, and it is whispered
around that some of them think they al
ready see some good opening for invest
ment, yet that is a matter which remains
to be considered hereafter.
The party will not leave Cheyenne until
sometime to-day. and probably not until
this evening, when they will doubtless re-
turn as they came, over the Cheyenne &
Burlington route.

DISTRICT COURT.
The Clark Diy6rce Case and other
Matters.

The district court convened yesterday
morning alto o'clock, Chief Justice Ma
ginnis presiding, and remained in session
nearly all day.
Several matters pertaining to receiver
cases were up for consideration and a con-
siderable amount of business pertaining
to the odds and ends of various suits was
disposed of during the forenoon
In the afternoon among other matters
the divorce case of +. L. Clark vs.. Jennie
e. Clark came up for the purpose of tax
ing further testimony, the plaintiff, how
ever, not being present personally. j. G..
Pratt appeared for the plaintiff and j. G.
Baird for defendant.
The testimony taken yesterday was
mostly in regard to the conduct of the
plaintiff prior to the time when his wife
is alleged to have given a reason for the
bringing of the suit. If the evidence
given yesterday was a correct statement
of the situation, then there would seem to
be quite a question as to which might
have brought a suit first, and the testi
mony alluded to would not, if printed,
make first class literature for the public to
read.
Latei in the afternoon.the case of Edward
Carey VS.. the Stockgrowers' National
bank was taken up for trial, Campbell &
Stoll appearing for the plaintiff and Cor
lett, Lacey & Riner for defendant, The
case has not as yet been disposed of.
Court will be in session again to-day.

An Increased Capital Stock.

The necessary certificate was filed in the
office of the secretary OF the territory yes
terday by the Sweetwater county bank for
an increase of its capital stock from $25.-
600 to $50. 000. The affairs of this bank
appear to be in a fourishing condition, and
from the statement placed on file it would
appear that the bank has already paid up
stock to the amount of $50, 600.

A very funny incident occurred in the
district court yesterday which will bear re-
lating. Colonel --- was at the be-
ginning of the term assigned to defend a
fellow named Eaton who was indicted,
tried and convicted for burglary, and the
attorney at all stages of the case did his
duty faithfully, and accomplished all that
could have been expected in the case, but
the colonel forgot some things connected
with the case as the sequel will show.
The court having asked if there was any
business in the criminal line to be attend
ed to, the attorney arose and said he be-
lieved there was a motion for a new trial
to be disposed of in the Eaton case.
Judge Maginnis suggested that he be-
lieved the motion had been overruled and
said he would turn to his docket and see,
the attorney at the same time slipping
close up to the bench in order that he
might help investigate.
The result OF that investigation was
that it became apparent from the record
that not only had the motion for a new
trial been overruled but that the defend
ant had been resenteneed, and further
more had been in the penitentiary at
Joliet for more than six weeks with his
head shaved and his striped suit on.
Everything had been attended to on
time and at the proper time, but the
colonel had simply forgotten all about it,

Very meager details of what came neal
being a fatal accident on the stage line
between Fort Laramie and Lusk were re-
ceived here last evening, but not enough
was learned to give the exact locality nor
the parties most interested. 1t seems,
however, that about half way between the
two points alluded to, there is a small
stream which has to be crossed, and while
there is usually but little water flowing
there, such was not the case on Tuesday
of this week, for a heavy rain or cloud
burst had converted the little brook into
a mighty river, and in attempting to cross
1t the stage was upset and two men who
were the only passengers had a narrow
escape from drowning. The driver chung
to his horses, the horses chung to the
stage and so did the passengers, and even
tually they foundered out to the shore.
When the mail which came over that
route reached Cheyenne last evening, it
was found to be saturated with water.

THERE seems to be a tidal wave of
justice rolling over the United. States,
which even the barriers erected by

the New York grand jury, because Of
their converting to their own use

The people OF Los Angeles are to be
congratulated upon the grand feast Of
legitimate drama in store for them.
On Monday evening, February 9th,
Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett
will appear in Othello at the Opera
House, and the entire week will be
devoted to Shakespeare by these re-
nowned interpreters of the great bard.
Mr.. Booth as Iago, Hamlet, Lear,
Macbeth, Shylock and Brutus, and
Mr.. Barret as Othello, Laertes, Edgar,
Macduff, Basssnio and Cassius is a
Shakespearian banquet such as even
the great ca pita'.s can only boast of at
rare intervals. We predict the most
brilliant season the Opera House has
ever had. Booth and Barrett are un-
doubtedly the greatest actors Of their
time. Whilst oal lAProminent actors
are led away Baern sensational
isms, in which 10 effects and stage
pictures take the place of the stern ren-
ditions of the old school, these great

He has the confidence Of his confreres
in the Senate, and the majority in the
House look to him for advice upon
measures touching the interests
of this part of the State.
Believing that Mr.. Lynch will be
seated, Senator Hearst defers to that
gentleman's judgment upon questions
OF local concern to the Sixth Congress
sional District, so that Mr.. Lynch
finds himself at this time as busily
engaged in looking out for our local
interests as if he were actually a
member of the House. The intimate
relations subsisting between Senator
Hearst and Mr.. Lynch will prove OF
great and positive advantage to South
ern California when the latter is
seated, as we have every assurance
he will be.

Column . OF Reports.

The Los Angeles HERALD had a
special reporter at the Horticultural
Convention and Citrus Fair, who did
good work for his paper, and he did il
in way to build up Southern Cali
fornia. Each day the HERALD has
had from three to four columns OF re-
port from Riverside, and on Sunday
morning this report extended over
more than an entire page of that pa
per. Not only were the reports full
and complete, but the editorial col.
umns of the HERALD for weeks past
have bristled with good work for the
Fair. The HERALD has done good
work for this end of the State fol
years past, and we are glad that the

The above graceful recognition oi
the enterprise Of the HERALD comes
from the appreciative pen of Mr.. L,
M. Holt, who, both as a newspape,
man and as the chief spirit in steer
ing the Riverside exhibition to its
very successful issue, knows the
value of the exhaustive reports we
gave of the Fair. The HERALD's
mission is to advance every locality
in Southern California, and it omits
no opportunity to present through its
columns all movements of public in

especially in this section Of the State.
A great newspaper like the HERALD
seeks to build up the interests not
only of its own immediate locality.

are sensible who thoroughly learn a
trade, no matter what it is. It is a
bank account to fall back upon when
compelled by necessity. 1t inspires 6
courage that the knowlege Of q pre-

The saying that ''politics makes
range bedfellows" was never better
exemplified than in the present situa-
ton of European diplomacy. There
seems to be strange conglomeration
of friend and foe that almost causes
wonder as to how, even with all the
intricacies Of European politics, the
present condition of affairs was rem
dered possible. Even Russia and
England, who have been naturally
inimical to each other for generations,
are now seeking the aid and assist
ance OF each other. France, with the
most liberal form of government in
Europe, has cast her lot in with that
of Russia, the only representative Of
true despotic government on the con-
tinent. Austria and Italy, tw0nations
which in times past have taken every
opportunity Of appropriating as much
OF each others territory as their
power or pretext rendered possible,
are now in close alliance with Ger
many in order that they may be bet
ter able to cope with France and Rus
sia. How these time-serving friends
will stand together remains to be
seen. Whether they will stand to-
gether when the shock of battle
comes is the query. But there is one
thing certain, that if the central Euro
pean nations do not unite for commol
protection, the prophecy of Napoleon
Bonaparte, in which he claimed that
Europe will be "either Cossack or Re-
publican" will find its realization be-
fore the dawn of the twentieth CEN

THERE is satisfaction in living in
genial climate the year round. A
pleasure that renders us unable to
fully contemplate the sufferings and
misery of those who live where the
thermometer goes down to 40 degrees
below zero. Here, surrounded by all
the favors that Dame Nature can
bestow upon humanity, we can
truly question whether life is worth
living in climes where one freezes to
death one half of the year and broils
the other. We have heard it fire.
quently asserted by Californans,
after visit to the East, that they
would rather die poor in California
than live in luxury in other parts OF
the country. To the Eastern visitors
who, after weeks ride through
regions of snow and ice, wake up
amidst the orange groves and flower
gardens of Southern California, it is a
revelation which astonishes and en-
frances. In this fact alone California
possesses wealth that is now build

do, SO long as mankind has correct
appreciation of the most glorious gift
in nature-an equable, genial and
salubrious climate.

IT is stated that the Alumni of
Princeton College are dissatifed with
the selection OF DIR. Patton, an Eng
lishman, who has been elected to
preside over the destinies of that in
stitution. They think that an Ameri-
can should have been chosen, and in
this they have the support OF every
one. There is no reason why an
American of suitable qualifications
and sufficient learning could not have
been found to preside over Princeton
College. But to select a subject oi
another power, and one, at that, who
refuses to become naturalized, is q
matter which does not coincide with
the American feeling on the subject.
