THE LINE COMPLETED.
Street Railway Track at the Fair
Grounds Gate.
The Nineteenth Street Route Will
be Built This Week.
Operation of the Two New Lines
Will Commence at Once.

North Cheyenne will toon be pretty
well traversed by street railway lines and
routes will be extended across the Union
Pacific tracks so soon as the viaducts are
built.
Work was commenced on the fair
grounds branch only two weeks age and it
was completed to the south gate yester-
day. To-day a big gang of lively men
will clear the track and tomorrow the
operation of the line will be commenced.
There is nothing slow about the Cheyenne
Street Railway company. For the fair

Rails were distributed on Nineteenth

haha ten days ago. Yesterday ties were
piled along the route and Monday exca-
walton and track laying will be COM
menced at the Congregational church cor
ner. The same swift force which rushed
the fair grounds line will be employed in
the construction of this branch, which
promises to be the best paying of all from
the first, as it traverses a densely popu-
lated residence portion of the city and
will be well patronized from the time the
first car appears. The management hopes
to complete the Nineteenth street line in

Late yesterday afternoon Judge Ma

There Mas Red FANG.

When the Cheyenne guards decided to
participate in the Fourth of July celebra-
ton at Denver Capt. Sitter applied to
Acting Governor Shannon for permission
to take his command armed beyond the
territory. This was granted and the
executive informed the adjutant general
OF Colorado that a company of Wyo-
ming militia desired to enter the Centen-
MA state armed. A formal favorable re-
ply coupled with a cordial invitation to
both the guards and the acting governor
was received.
But for the stated procedure Co. b
might have been arrested for invading
Colorado.

THE MANDAMUS SUIT.
Judge Bergman Ordered to coun-
tersign Licenses.
But They 90 TO the Sheriff Instead
of the Marshal.
The Costs of the Suit Charged
Against the City.

The mandamus suit of Wyoming on
the relation OF Cheyenne against County
Treasurer Bergman was disposed of in
short order by Judge Maginnis yesterday.
During the hearing in chambers it was
disclosed that Mr.. Bergman had never
been formally requested to attach his sig
nature to the ten licenses in question. I'm
der the impression that Ed. Gay was
deputy treasurer Marshal Schnitger made
the demand upon him and was refused.
This technicality was not allowed to figure
in the proceedings, however.
The motion OF the county attorney
that the mandamus petition be made
more specific was overruled and a trial
had. Judge Maginnis ordered that the
treasurer countersign the licenses and de-
liver them to the sheriff as directed by
law. The city will pay the costs of the
suit.
Now a sort Of a question arises. Here
tofore the licenses have been given to the
marshal, who collected the fees and COW
cred the money into the city treasury, a
legislative act directing that the lucre go
into the municipal Golfers. Under the
ruling BY Judge Maginnis the licenses go
to the sheriff. The law says that he
shall collect licenses and he collects for
the county alone. Sheriff Martin may be
kind enough to aid in keeping up an old
established custom by passing tn. licenses
to the marshal. Then again he may CON
clude to collect the money and hand it to
Judge Bergman. In all probability he
will collect for the marshal, or rather for
the city, and exact remuneration. All
will doubtless end amicably, but the re-
suit is awaited with interest.

A Sidney Suicide.

OMAHA, June PA Bee special from
Sidney, Neb., SAYS that S. G. Morgan,
chashier OF the State bank of Sidney, was
found dead in his bed at IL O'Clock this
morning. The top of his head was blown
off, and a Colts revolver, which he had
sent for early in the morning, lay by his
side. The bank is said to be in poor con-
dition. Mr.. Morgan's wife is the daugh-
tee of Ii. Wyatts, a well know contribu
tor to financial journals and president of
the Nebraska National bank of Omaha.
They were married six years ago in a
Missouri town to which they had eIoped.
Morgan was the son Of a retired whole
sale grocer, but the girls parents opposed
the match. On the day of Morgan's
elopement, a young man named Frank
johnson ran away with and married a
daughter of Dyson Reed, one of the old
est settlers and wealthiest men in Omaha.
Shortly after the two young men founded
the state bank here, johnson being presi-
dent and Morgan cashier.

having established a store on the present
site of the city hall about 1867. He
asked for all of the pioneers and could
scarcely believe that the magnificent
Cheyenne of to-day was the unstable vii

manhood has never been in Cheyenne on
any pretense. If Shedding is a criterion
of what Robbins circus will be. those
who attend the circus will find more joy
in attending a funeral.

Frank Z~alondeck, the insane convict
pardoned by Acting Governor Shannon
last week escaped from the asylum the
very morning the document extending
clemency was issued here. A letter to
Colin Hunter. chairman of the peniten-
tiary commission received yesterday
brought the news.
Zalondeck was sent to Joliet from this
county for grand larceny. He became
insane and was transferred to an asylum.
Recovery and good behavior earned the
pardon. His term would have expired
in a few months.

o TO SALT LAKE.
Geo. w. vaiIery Goes Over to Nor

"
Geo. w. Vallery who has been general
agent for the Burlington here for several
months, left yesterday for Salt Lake,
where he will be the representative of the
company with which he has been SO long
identified. The promotion, while merited,
came without warning. MI. Vallery hav-
ing been wired yesterday morning to enter
Mormondom and establish himself at the
capital. He will return to Cheyenne for
the corner stone laying and settle up his
affairs here at that time.
Mr.. Vallery has been a good man for
his company and a desirable citizen for
Cheyenne. He has always hustled for
the former and was never afraid to say a
good word for the city. Personally MI.
Vallery is a great favorite here and he
will be sadly missed In social circles.
A successor to Mr.. Vallery here will
soon be named. 1t will probably be a
Colorado man. :.

Area Of Cultivated Land.

Some interesting statements re-
garding the extension of the area
of cultivated land in the United
States are presented in the May re-
port of the statistician ofthe depart
ment of agriculture. 1t appears that
the area under the four principal
arabic crops-corn, wheat. oats and
cotton-increased from 12S, 900, 900
acres in 1879 to 159.O00,000 acres
in 1885. This represents an expan.
sion in nine years of the area under
these crops of 81 100000 acres, or
an extent of land more than equal
ing the entire area of the three north
ern New England states. The in
crease in the area under corn, oats
and cotton is greater than the total
area of the state OF Ohio. This strik-
ing result leads the statistician to
make the further calculation that II
the increase in all titled and grass
land has been in the same proportion
us that in the four crops mentioned
we have now a total area of improv-
cd lands in farms of 356, 200, 900
acres, as compared with 285, 900, 900
acres in 1873, or an increase almost
equal to the surface area of New Eng
land, New York and New Jersey,
equaling the entire area of improved
land in 1880 to the eleven cotton
states, with the addition ofDelaware
and Maryland. The figures of the
coming census dealing with the agri-
cultural area should present some in
teresting comparisons with those of
the last census year.-Bradstreet's.

The Sioux Opening,

1t is given out that arrangements
arc being perfected to run excursion
trains from the principal points in
the East to the Sioux reservation
Immediately after the issuing of the
proclamation by the president de-
claring the law in force by virtue OF
the ratification by the Indians. The
traveller Of the st. Louis paper, who
has been writing up the situation,
anticipates that in thirty days the
good lands will all be taken by the
homesteaders. If it is meant that
the bulk of the II 100000 acres is
desirable land, this would presume a
rush and scramble suggestive of Okla
homa. No doubt there will be some
eagernees to secure claims there, but
there are no present Indications of
such a flocking. The fact that only
the homestead feature of the land
laws will be operative will check the
rush. The urgency for the opening
is not SO much due to the need of oc-
cuping the lands, as it is of opening
communication with the Black Hills.
The good lands will all be taken in
due time without special effort.

Curious Transmittal Of Fever,
Boston Post. !.

Boston Post.
In 1916 boy of 8 years, the
brother OF the narrntor's wife, was
taken down with scarlet fever AID
died. One of the principal amuse-
ments of his illness had been looking
over large picture book. After his
death this, with several other useful
playthings. was packed away in a
trunk. Twenty-six years later, in
1872, the sister-in-law of the editor
took the trunk with her on a journey
to England where he was then resid-
ing. The trunk was opened the
second day after its arrival, and the
picture book was taken out and
presented to the editors 2-year-old
son. During the next fortnight the
little fellow was attacked by scarlet
fever. It was q wonder to the
doctors who were called in consulta-
ton how the disease had been con-
tracted, as there had been no scarlet
fever in the place for years. At
last it occurred to the editor that
the picture book might have trans
mitted the disease, and the medical
men in attendance, on being told the
facts connected with it, agreed that
it had retained the poison for twenty
six years and communicated it to
the child.
