ssxsrs soaIp Disease Cured.

A few weeks ago my wife suffered very much
from cutaneous disease of the scalp, and re-
ceived no relief from the various remedies she
used until she tried CUTICURA. The disease
promptly yielded to this treatment, and in a
short while she was entirely well. There has
been no return OF the disease. and CUTICURA
ranks No. l In our estimation for diseases of
the skin.

Making Up for
Lost Time.

You might Judge there was
either some disturbance in the
clothing market, or the
weather injured goods if kept.
The prices heard of sound
astounding.
Isn't it more likely that the
quality hardly met your ap-
proval2 That considerably
more was asked for it than it
would fetch? That it's not
sure of its price now, and'll be
less so if kept over7 Or that
it's sought to make up for lost
time?
Anyway, it doesn't compete
with our reliable clothing. We
have sold heaps of our make,
because it was wanted and the
prices were low, in good time:
low to begin with.
Some lots have been made
lower. The goods have solid
value. The prices are genu-
inely lowered.
Thin goods at right prices.
New lots in.
The best tailoring to order,
and 1000 styles of goods to

Dickinson's Successor.
[Omaha Bee.l

The announcement hat Ed. Dickinson,
assistant general manage of the Union
Pacific, had been rendered the direct
management of the South Omaha stock
yards, and that in all probability he would
accept, occasioned some excitement in
railway circles, especially at the Union
Pacific headquarters.
General Manager Kimball stated that
he had not heard of arrangements hav.
ing been made, although he had heard
that such a change was at one time under
consideration.
AS to Dickinson's successor, in case he
should accept the stockyards management,
but little could be learned. The prevail
ing opinion is that when vacancy occurs
G. 4. ResseguIe, superintendent of the
Nebraska division, is the first in the line
of promotion, although he is compare
tisely a new man with the company.
Superintendent Brinckerhoff of the Kan,
sas division. it is stated, also stands q
good show for promotion.

THE WYOMING INDIANS.
Agent Iones Makes a Report to the
Interior Department.
Shoshones and A~rapahoes Ask for
Lands in S~eyeralty.
They are Improving in Morals and
Becoming Industrious.

Col Jones, the efficient Indian agent
at the Wind River reservation In Fremont
county has Just submitted a report to
the secretary of the interior. His state
ments are fair in every particular and his
recommendations merit attention. The
Indians willing to work are sadly in need
of irrigating bitches and better horses.
That the Indians have asked for lands IN
severalty is surprising as it must be graft
flying to those interested. 1t is hoped
that Col. Jones will succeed in keeping
the troublesome ~maraudlng Sioux off the
reservation. They are a dangerous dis
bnrbing element and have several times
caused trouble with the Arapahoes. Here
are some excerpts from the agents report;
1.-THE Shoshones and Arapahoes who
occupy this reserve, being different in Ian
guage, habits and dispositions, and having
been enemies in battle in the past, has
rendered it absolutely necessary for me to
study them closely, with the view of re-
moving all obstacles in the way of their
living amicably and in harmony together,
as the scholars on any pretext whatever
were ready for a fight on all occasions. /
am glad to report that this feeling has to
a great extent disappeared, not only with
the children but with the parents.
The Shoshones are undoubtedly the
iurthest advanced in morals and virtue.
but they have had better advantages than
their associated tribe. The virtue of the
Shoshone women is as proverbial as is
the want Of it in the other tribe, but in
the latter this is gradually being improved.
Both tribes have of their own free
will asked for a joint council and have
asked for their lands in severalty, and
unless the Sioux or some foreign element
should interfere. | see no reason why this
should not be fully accomplished.
while / do not entirely agree with
the opinion OF a very efficient inspector,
that these Indians will, in three years
from last August, be well on the road to
self support, l am of the opinion that if
the government will remove several diff
culties in their way, impossible for them
to remove, they will, in a reasonably short
time, begin the work of self support
within this period. These difficulties are,
first, water bitches ian absolute necessity
in this country must be furnished liber-
ally. Their horses are of too light weight
to do the agricultural work. and to i'm
prove them they need Eastern stations,
say two or three TO each tribe. These
furnished, with the saw and grist mill
already on the spot. and a liberal supply
of farmers to help them for a year or two,
| do consider that in five years after
they receive these they will raise wheat
enough to furnish them with lop-, and If
for a few years the money new expended
in -four be expended in stock cattle they
will soon have beef enough for their own
use, at which time, five years after the
bitches are IN working order, they will be
self supporting"

SHOP CORNER STONE.
1t will b Laid With Much Ceremony
june Is.

In few days there will be called a citi.
zens meeting to make preliminary ar
rangements for a shop corner stone laying.
The board of trade and the real estate
exchange will also act in the matter.
1t is proposed to make the day one to
be remembered. as the building of the
shops and their subsequent maintenance
and operation means much for Cheyenne.
The location OF the shops here has given
to the city an impetus which is as
naugbt compared to the effect of their
completion.
1t has been suggested that the cere.
monies, which will be elaborate, take
place Saturday, June Is. This date will
be agreeable to everyone save perhaps
the weather man and he may be con-
oiliated in some way beforehand.
Hon. John NJ. Thurston, the great
Union Pacific attorney will be invited to
come up from Omaha and o~ficiate as ora
tor of the day. The committees will Sc,
cure several other attractions.
Of course the railways will make ex-
cursion rates from all points and every ef-
fort will be made to have a big crowd
here.

WHO WANTS WATER +?
Cheyenne Has Enough for a Popu-
Iation Ten Times Greater.
The Underground System Gives
Both Quality and Quantity.
A Visit to the Chain of Reservoirs
and Inspection of Cribs.

The water system of Cheyenne, for
many years an object of ridicule, has been
vastly improved since 1885 and is now the
best in the territory. while ranking with
the systems of other cities Of the same
size throughout the country. 1t is being
constantly improved and will in time be
well nigh perfect in every particular.
The dual problem of quality and guam
tity was solved when, by an ingenious ar
rangement the undercurreut, a volume of
water many times greater than Grow
creek, was captured and diverted into the
mains. This was accomplished by the
construction of cribs or galleries under the
direction of City Engineer Miller. These
are drains, in theshape of wooden trenches
on bedrock. Being twelve feet or
more beneath the surface they collect the
seepage from the creek and springs and
convey the sparkling filtered fluid to the
big mains. Ia collecting the water at
tention is paid, of course, to the direc-
ton of the natural current. The cribs
extend upward and away from the creek.
More than 1000 feet of galleries are now
in place. O'Brien & Lawler, the extern
sive general contractors are engaged at
present in placing galleries in the bed of
the creek above the two other lines.
To-day the city water supply is entirely
from the underground source, as the
creek has been turned into irrigating
bitches. Every reservoir within the chain
is well filled and the flow is steady. There
are millions upon millions Of gallons now
On hand, and this in face of the fact that
the past season was one of the dryest ever
known here.
For two miles of the distance from the
source of supply to the service reservoir
the water Is conducted through an open
ditch. 1t is desired by the present city
administration to pipe the fluids owe the
stretch and it is probable that $ll 900
will be expended for that purpose this
season. City Engineer Miller will present
an estimate for the work at the next meet
ing of the city council.
A visit to the city ranch on which are
erected the galleries, ETC., is not unpro6t-
able. Yesterday a representative of The
LEADER was a guest of the city engineer
ard Contractor O'Brien and enjoyed the
trip despite the storm and a return drive
over a muddy road. Fully three miles
above Fort Russell the municipality owns
n Of the best claims on the creek, and
there are some fine ranches along the
stream. The tract contains 100 acres and
is of coui se under fence. The valuable
improvements are nearly I'll under ground,
for the buildings are of but little worth.
Most Of the ranch is a natural drain
for the surrounding country. and before
the placing of cribs the ground was
marshy; nov the surface is pretty dry.
