they have a removable heating drum. and
the stove can be used for cooking purposes.

TWO WAR STORIES
Told by Gen. Alexander at the Inman
Dinner in Atlanta.

Dinner in Atlanta.
At the Inman dinner at Atlanta the other
night Gen. Alexander told couple of anec-
dotes which have been printed in the Con-
Stitutioh of that city. This was one of
them:
Gen. Alexander said he had been standing
that day on the capitol overlooking the city
of Atlanta, and thinking of the great cor
poratiOn he represented the Central road {;
he wished that the two might find their in
terests 50 identical that there should be no
difference between them. Indeed" he
said Il want to see them as much mixed up
as was the fellow at Petersburg. When the
crater was exploded part of our line was
blown into the air. Up the brave fellows
went, and down they came in debris. We
were digging them out one after the other
when we struck one man who had been en-
tirely buried. He was a pitiful sight as we
pulled him out, but he rubbed the dirt from
his eyes, and said: Boys, have we tuck
them or have they tuck u.s.
The other was thief At the battle of Ma
nassas he was fighting near farm house
which ne discovered to be the house of Mr..
Lewis McCabe, a relative of his wife Be-
fore the battle was over the house was liter
ally riddled and the farm ruined Gen.
Alexander never saw Mr. McCahe again I'M
I'll at Appomattox. While fighting there
his artillery was near farm house. which
he found out to be the home of Mr.. McCabe.
He met that gentleman few moments later,
and he said: My home AT Manassas was
ruined by battle and | left it and came 200
miles away thought / was clear out of
reach, but now this home is ruined" 1t is
curious that the first and last battle of the
war should each be fought on Mr.. McCabe's
farm

A BROKEN JOURNAL.
Trains on the s., F. and w. Delayed for
Few Hours.

The freight train on the Savannah, Flor

reached this city ut an early hour yesterday
morning, met with an accident just this
side of the Ogeechee bridge. A journal
broke and several freight cars we're wrecked.
The Albany express, the Jesup express and
another train were kept waiting at the place
where the accident occurred. The passengers
on the Albany express were transferred to
this city, that train having reached the
scene of the accident quite a while before

ROSS READY FOR THE GREEK.
He VIA Accept His Challenge for
ANY Amount


Duncan c. Ross said last night that he
will accept Greek Georges challenge to
wreste here or elsewhere, any style and for
any amount that the Greek may name. He
is anxious TO have the match come Off as
soon as possible and prefers to wrestle here
He has also challenged Muller, who will
wrestle the Greek in Atlanta tonight.
The Greek has been wanting a chance to
down the Scot, and now he is likely to have
all the chance he wants. II he comes to
terms the match will be arranged
at once, and it will probably
come Off here. The town has
taken to wrestling in good earnest.
Sergt. Walsh will meet the Frelchman,
Pierre Selo at Turner Hall Thursday night,
and an effort will be made TO arrange the
Ross-Greek and Muller matches as soon
after that as possible.
1t is not unlikely that Ross meetings
with the Greek will result in his going into
regular training

BACK FROM THE NORTH.
The Assessor Interviews the Future
Residents of Converse County.

Assessor Fisher, sunburnt and weary,
has returned from an official trip In the
northern portion of the county. Proper
ty within the confines of the territory
hereafter to be included in Converse
county has been listed.
During the journey of several hundred
miles Mr.. Fisher noticed but four car
cases of dead animals. showing, as has
been claimed all along, that the past win
ter was a remarkably mild one.
The calf crop is unusually large and
cattle are in good condition. The MAYER
lex hunter seems quite considerable this
year. Many unbranded calves frisk about
the ranges.
Rain is needed badly. The grass is dry
and short. A shower would be most
welcome inst now. Even a very light
rainfall would cause the grass to sprout
wonderfully.
Mr.. Fisher confirms the reports brought
by other visitors to Hartville. The camp
is booming. Everybody is working and
strangers are arriving daily.
1t is possible hat there will be a con-
test over the collection of taxes in Con-
verse county this fall. Every effort will
be made to amicably settle disputes aris-
ing.
Assessor Fisher leaves for the north
again this morning and will operate in the
vicinity of Wendover for a time.

MYSTERIOUS BLAZE.
The Residence of VIM. Lloyd Narrowly
Escapes Destruction.

The Pdrlor Match was interrupted by a
fire alarm about 10 o clock last evening.
Opening of the electric box at the Inter
Ocean caused the big bell to peal and the
fremen to hasten to their apparatus. The
Alerts dashed down Capitol avenue to the
depot, unmindful of the assurance of a
young lady that the blaze was in the resi-
dence of Nj. VIM. Lloyd. in the rear of
AbDey's stable. The firemen o dis
covered the error, and a few minutes after
the alarm sounded had extinguished the
flames, which were confined to one room
in the house. The carpet was ruined,
walls charred and furniture scorched.
Water did considerable damage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd were spending the
evening with friends, but were quickly
summoned to the scene. They are at a
loss to account for the starting of the fire.
A lighted lamp, burning naturally. was
found in the ROOM, and it is certain that
the flames did not originate from that
source. To-day's investigation may re-
veal the cause of the evening blaze.
The total loss is not great and is Gov
cred by insurance.

SOAP AND STARCH.
Two Staple Articles to be Manu-
featured Here.
Something About An Early Chey-
enne Enterprise.
A Splendid Opening for a Potato
Starch Plant.

The project of establishing a soap fac
tory at this point is being agitated once
more. An enterprise of this sort was sue
c~essfully carried on in Cheyenne fifteen
years ago. Magic city soap was market
ed along the line of the Union Pacific and
at Colorado settlements. and became
quite a favonte brand. Geo. Scriber
owned the plant, and with crude tacili-
ties, in a limited field, managed to build
up quite a trade. The factory was first
located at the corner of Eighteenth and
O'Neil, but was subsequently moved to
Crow creek, lust below Camp Carlin.
Mr.. Scriber was among the first to invade
the Black Hills country, and visions of
buckets of gold to be found in hat Sec
ton caused him to abandon the plebean
but remunerative soap business.
Every town in the east which has at
tanned the proportions of the Magic City,
boasts a soap factory among the leading
industries. There is a splendid opening
here for the business, and a practical man
with q small capital would soon amass a
fortune in assisting cleanliness to its
proper post. beside godliness. Every in
gredient necessary for the manufacture OF
the article can be obtained cheaply and in
large quantities. Immense quantities of
offal, usually commanding a fair price at
soap factories, is annually burned in Chey-
enne. Soda is now a Wyoming staple.
Every town in Wyoming needs soap.
A great many of the settlements doubtless
use considerable of the article. If it
could be purchased from first hands in
Cheyenne, the city would soon become
the soap depot for the territory.

Business at the Fort.

The present force of officers and men
at Fort Russell receive every two months
from the government between $4,000
and $22, 900 in cash. The officers club,
under the management of Lieut.. Howe.
has grown to be a valuable and conven-
lent institution. Its annual receipts,
which of coure include the price paid for
many table supplies, is $1,000. The Can
teen, the enlisted mems club. shows re-
ceipts of $4,000 in the past seventeen
months. This sum represents considera-
BILE profit on goods sold, which goes to the
commanding officer of each company to
be used for the benefit of the enlisted
men

A jolly Play.


1t il many months since a performance
in the opera house has given such pro-
nounced satisfaction as that of last even
ing. Evans & Hoey's ParIor Match is
not strikingly new to a great many people,
but every one who has heretofore seen it.,
found in its last performance many new
features which clearly supplement the
old. In the particular field which it at
tempts to cover Rarlor Match is pre-
eminently the best thing that has been
presented in Cheyenne. 1t is full of fun
and artistic surprises from the beginning
to the end.
Evans and Hoey make a remarkably
strong team. In their business they are
as distinct as day and night, yet each in
his way is a Jewel. Minnie French as the
Innocent Kidd was extremely clever.
while Daniel Hart gave a decidedly taking
performance. Every member of the
company is well fitted to perform his or
her part. There are very few who saw
the play last night who would not keenly
relish a second performance. Evans and
Hoey surely captured the town.
Haller & Harris Prize Ideals, fayorably
known here, are underlined for Saturday
evening.

A FINE TESTIMONIAL.
Judge Blair is Presented with a Token
of Esteem.

The abdication of Hon. Jacob Blair in
favor of Judge Saufy at Laramie yester.
day, was quite q ceremonious affair. Sew
eral Cheyenne attorneys took part in the
exercises, anumber OF ladies were present
and general good feeling prevailed during
the farewell to tho venerable Republican.
On ascending to the bar, accompanied
by Judge Saufy, Judge Blair was pre-
scented with a magnificent bouquet on be-
half OF Mrs. Col. Downey and Mrs.
Roach.
Hon. S. W. Downey fttingly ~eulogized
Judge Blair, voicing the sentiments of the
bar of the territory and the g~entleman's
friends. AT the age of 81 Judge Blair,
who has administered justicein Wyoming
for the past II years, retires with a spot
less record.
Judge Blair was greatly surprised to re-
oeive from the hands of Mr.. Downey,
who acted as spokesman for the attorneys,
a beautiful and costly gold watch and
chain and charm, a token OF their respect
and esteem. The time piece was pur-
chased at the iewelry house of d. Miller,
in this city. 1t was handsomely and APP
propriately engraved.
The frank response was characteristic
of the man. For his reputation he re-
ferred all to his record.
Hon. j. G. Baird, OF this city, offered
the following resolutions, which were
adopted by a rising vote:
WHEREAS, The Honorable Jacob b.
Blair, late associate justice of the supreme
court of this territory, and late presiding
Judge of this court, has Just left the bench
on the expiration of his recent term of of
fee; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is fitting and proper hat
the bar of the territory now here, In open
court assembled and represented, should
in some manner express their regard for
his honesty, efficiency and integrity as a
man and a judge; therefore be it
Resolued, That the bar and people of
this territory will ever hold in high appre-
ClallOu anu CoItem IuG lalIulul, ulbLlu-
guished and valuable services rendered by
Judge Blair to them during his twelve
years of Official life, in the responsible and
onerous position as judge of trial and ap-
pellate courts.
ResolUed, That we earnestly trust that
his retirement to private life may be fol-
lowed by prosperity, happiness and good
health, and the continuance of that
marked public est Gem and confidence that
has ever attended his course as a citizen
and as a judge.
RESOLVED. That this honorable court be
respectfully requested to order and direct
that these resolutions be spread at large
upon the journal Of this court, and that a
certified copy of the same be delivered by
the clerk to Judge Blair.
Hon. NJ. G. Brown extended Judge
Saufy a warm welcome and was seconded
by Hon. H. V. s. Groesbeck.
Judge Saufy responded briefly and elo-
quently.

Some time since THE LEADER remarked
that potato culture was becoming a potent
factor in the supply and demand problem
for Laramie county. The territory here
abouts is especially adapted to the growth
of tubers of the most priced varieties. The
soil is exactly what it should be for this
purpose. The vegetable lourishes with
but little attention and a small allowance
of water.
Along every stream in the territory po-
tato fields are plated, the crop planted
and harvested in spare moments and the
product converted into cash if the market
price happens to suit the Independent
ranchman. Outlines hundreds of BUSH
els are fed to domestic animals or allowed
to go to waste.
A Cheyenne gentleman is at present
corresponding with eastern parties who
propose, if satisfied with the appearance
of the field after a visit here, to establish
a potato starch factory in this city. The
capital required to launch this enterprise
is not large and it is reputed a very profit
able industry.
There will be no difficulty in supplying
a factory at this point with potatoes.
Many thousand bushels would be raised
annually in the immediate vicinity of
Cheyenne were this city made a market
for the product. Carloads would be
shipped from farms on the land of the
Wyoming Development company. and the
ranchmen in the northeastern portion of
the county would contribute.
The enterprises noted above, while not
adding fabulous sums to the assessed val
%uation, would cause considerable money
which is now sent abroad to be circulated
here and encourage other manufacturing
projects.

Policemen visited the Union Pacific

five tramps who were eating a meal of
sandwiches and hot coffee. The gang
marched up street clinging to the commits
sary stores, a heavy-set traveller carrying

tramps were arraigned before Judge Lee
and convicted of v~aGrancy. All were con-
signed to the street and allev brigade.
