WILSON MAY ACT.
An Electric Wire Coup Expected from the
Board OF Health.

Board OF Health.
Important action in the electric light crusade
may be expected from the Board OF Health.
President Wilson has discovered that the Board
Of Health is the only municipal authority that
cannot be stayed by. preliminary Injunction.
Here is tho law a. laid down in section $40 Of

on which the motion for such injunction IL 20 be
made.
This, President Wilson says, gives the Board
full swing with the wires for a whole week be-
fore legRl process can interfere.
i he plan Is, should the injunction against the
Mayor be made permanent, to declare the wires
o public nuisance. dangerous to life and detri-
mental 20 health. and proceed at once to remove
them.
President Wilson has ordered that Chief. Mar

cial training at once to decide shat is and what

Two orders have been served upon the United
States Electric Light Company last week, under
these directions, to remove danger GUS wires

The Board will act rs noon as called upon by

The sun has already sunk below the horizon.
The sky is still luminous with the warm golden
light. which gives o peculiar glowing light to
the surrounding fields. The young couple
have been busy harvesting the potato
crop. They stand quietly in the foreground,
their figures clearly cut against the VIVID
background. Their attitudes express
the devout religious sentiments Of rustic piety.
Both send in silence u feeling prayer to their

Saturday, Oct. 26th, will be a great day
for Cheyenne and vicinity. At the opera
house the great P. s. Gilmore, pride Of
the nation and leader unparalleled will
marshal the Jubilee hosts, for two iubi-
lees of the most stupendous festival con-
certs ever given outside of Boston and
New York.
The eight great artists which Mr.. Gil
more will bring, and the wonderful music
of the band will be enriched by the ring
ing of ten anvils and the booming of four
cannon, each of which can be fired twenty
times a minute by electricity. This com
bined aggregation of features, all singing,
playing, ringing and booming together,
will cause the most sublime effects tie
human ear has ever listened to. The
presence of Gilmore at the head of such
ar extensive enterprise ensures grandeur
and success from first to last, and the
house will be filed with people. from
home and abroad to drink in the pleasures
of the mighty feast.

PACIFIC SHORT LINE.
Road Soon TO be Built Across
Wyoming.

The funds for the construction of the
second section of the Pacific Short Line
from Plainview to O'Neil, Neb.. says a
Sioux City special, have been secured and
the work is now being prosecuted. The
tracking Of the section already graded and
bridged, from Covington to Plainyiew, is
now just beginning. The real cause of
the two months delay has been the death
of the late Samuel l.. NJ. Barlow, the
millionaire lawyer of New York, who was
not only himself a heavy subscriber to the
Pacific Short Line, but also represented a
wealthy syndicate of New York and Ger
man capitalists. He died after an illness OF
twenty-four hours. and the very day of his
death had been appointed for the formal
transfer of cash to complete arrangements
for the construction of the second section
of the road. So slowly do such matters
move in New York that it is only just
now that all the formalities, disjointed by
Mr.. Barlow's death, have been complet-
ed. 1t has been only an aggravating de-
lay, no. a disruption of the plans of the
syndicate back of the scheme, which has
not relaxed its purpose to build across
Nebraska and Central Wyoming and
through to Ogden, but which could not
be hurried along to keep pace with the
western way OF doing things.

Instances where legators have thor
oughly despised their legatees and
limited accordingly in their wills are
quite numerous. Aylett Stow, a gen
tleman who died in London during
the Revolutionary war, made the fol-
lowing odd provisions:
And lastly, be you sure to lay out
five guineas for the purchase of a pic
ture of the viper biting the benevolent
hand of the person who saved him
from perishing in the snow, if the
same can be bought for hat money;
and that you do, in memory of me,
present it to -, Esq, a kings coun-
sci, so that he may have frequent OPP
portunities of contemplating it."
This is in lieu of a legacy of f3, 900,
which I had by a former will, now re-
voked and burnt, left to him.
The home life of Henry, earl of
STAFFORD, could not have been the
most pleasant in the world, judging
from the peculiar wording of his will.

says, "who is guilty of all ills-the

NO EXTRA TRAINS.
Projected Additional Fast Mail
Trains Abandoned.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
OMAHA, Neb Oct 24-At the very
last moment the project for a third daily
fast mail and express train over the Union
Pacific has been abandoned. Vice Presi-
dent Holcomb said to-day that the COM
pany could not now secure the necessary
additional equipment and power, and de-
clared that to handle many more trains on
tie line would be hazardous in the busy
season. The volume of traffic is greater
to day than ever before in the history OF
the company. Mr.. Holcomb also said
that if the new time card was unsatisfac-
tory to the postal department the COM
pany might be compelled to operate the
extra trains.
Superintendent White of the railway
mail service remarked rather viciously be-
fore leaving for Chicago to-day that the
Union Pacific would regret that it had
tailed to place the last mail trains. The
company officials only smile at Mr..
Whites threats.
1t is given out at Overland headquar-
tiers that the new time card figures will
be made public Saturday or Monday.

Will Cushing Go.

ChAoAAo oNN-
1t is currently reported that George w.
Gushing, superintendent of motive power
OF the Union Pacific. is soon to be retired.
When Mr.. Gushing succeeded Glenn
Hackney there was considerable dissatis-
faction occasioned among the employees
who thus came under his authority. Had
not superior officers assured them that
they would not be annoyed by Cushing it
is probable that u walkout would have re-
suited.
The reported retirement is not coupled,
however, with any demand on the part of
the w~orkingmen. II Is stated hat he
has been found lacking in many instances
and to such an extent. it is said. that
Vice President Holcomb. who was the
means of placing him in the position, has
concluded that his retirement will in no
way entail a loss upon the company. 1t
is reported that he has failed to exercise
good Judgment in the assignment of loco.
motives; that where steep grades required
two passenger engines for passenger ser
vice he has substituted heavy freight en-
gines which, after passing the incline and
reaching a down grade, were not only I'M
able to make fast time, but rendered
travel very dangerous.
1t is also reported that he has en1eav-
ored to reduce the motive power geIer-
ally, and has reduced it to that point that
a marked deficiency exists.
The serious delay and irregularity of
trains is attributed to the poor condition
of the rolling stock, and the lack of sufh-
cicnt power to propel the trains.

NO ONE INDICTED.
A Lack of Evidence Against the
Cattle Kate Lynchers.
The Grand Jury Could Learn Moth
ing About the Affair.
All of the Territory's Witnesses
MysteriousIy Disappeared.

Special Dispatch to the Leader.
RAwLINs. Wyo.. Oct. 1.-The grand
jury finished their labors to day, and were
finally discharged without indicting any
of the Watson-Averil lynchers. Their
failure to indict is attributable to the lack
of evidence necessary to sustain the
charges. This is caused by Buchanan's
sensational disappearance. He claimed
to have witnessed the lynching and to
have identified everyone present.
The attorneys for the territory, Messrs.
Craig and Howard seemed to have done
all in their power to secure the necessary
evidence and the facts we're fully pre-
scented to the jury as far as they were OBJ
talnable, but without avail. The result is
that the defendants still labor under the
accusation without taking any steps to
clear themselves.
