The City Collectorship fight, which the
Republican City Council has been indulg-
ing in for two months or more, still con-
tinues and is getting very bitter. George
Carney was the caucus nOmipee
but the Mayor, and three Republican and
one Democratic Councilman are for John
Hogan. The remaining four members are
for any good Republican except Hogan,
and by afilibustering process, led by COun-
Gilman Linen Dustsr" Caldwell, they
have prevented Mayor Gibbons from
having an opportunity to vote for Hogan.
At prOtracted session last night the
mayor had an opportunity to elect any
good Republican in town, except Hogan,
but be wouldn't do it. And now the
local Republican party is asking whether
the Mayor WAS elected to serve the city and
his party, or TO serve only one man viz.
John Hogan.

We reproduce, elsewhere, from Satur-
days IRteHigepcer, a communication giving
some excellent reasons Why the proposed
new Main street bridge should be Of stone
instead Of iron. The writer is evidently
practical man who krOvs something Of
the work and tho has thoroughly studied
the subject from the standpoint OF a citi-
zen and taxpayer, and bis reasons for
pref-rring by an odds q stone structure
over au iron one are true, as any person Of
common sense can see. In the first place,
stone, long experience has shown, makes
the most durable and lasting structure
that can be built Second il makes the
solidest and the best, over which street
mains may be run and be "A safe and
secure as under ground, and the paved
street may be continued without break.
Third, il is by al odds the cheapest bridge
IN the long run, as IL will stand for a CEN
tury with little or no attention OF repair.
An iron bridge needs constant attention.
Fourth IL is the hardsOmest bridge that
could be built And, lastly, it would be
built AZ home and the money expended IN
our midst among home wOrkmen and la
bOrers.
These are few Of the primary reasons
why stone bridge is preferable. The
finest material for the mos, durable bridge
is ri ht at hand and the actual cost
of il is almost certain 10 be much less than
the estimate. The City Surveyor has re-
ported that splendid foundation is reached
at very moderate depth and there is no
reason why we should not build the best
bridge and one that will last our time ard
that of our children. The correspondent
we refer to trutbfully says "True wisdom
in municipal affairs is to lock and plan for
the future, not to be deferred from build
ing something enduring because the first
cost exceeds some cheap expedient-al-
ways most costly in the end"
To all Of which we can add the .esti-
mony Of scores Of old snd practical citi-
zsns who know the difference between a
stone and an iron bridge.

JULY WEATHER.
The Month Was Equal to the Best
All Around--ProYerbs.

U. G. Purssell, the Cheyenne signal
corps mar who takes weather observa-
tons hereabouts for the benefit of COM
merce and trade ard the statistical vol
umes issued semi occasionally by the gen.
eral government, issued his July report on
time. A copy of the document contain
ing the subjoined data was received at
this office last evening:
Mean temperature for the month was
67.2o; highest, go on the 9Th; lowest, $50
OF the 3rd. The greatest range was 430
on the Both; least l2o on the 9th. and
average 250. July, 1888, was slightly
warmer, the mean temperature being
62.So. but figuring since 1871 there was
an excess in July heat of SO and for the
year 2040.
To the northwest was the prevailing di.
rictioa of the soft summer breezes, which
had a total movement of 1856 miles.
Greatest velocity was attained on the
9th when the wind made SO miles an
hour exclusive of rests.
In July there was a total precipitation
of l .23 inches a deficiency of "A of an
inch. but the year Is still 2.43 inches
ahead of the average. On eight days
there was a precipitation of more than
.0l of an inch. The dryest July in
the history of the signal office was in
1884 when there was only 60 Of an inch
of wet.
For what is commonly denominated
weather the past month was a model.
There were 9 clear, Is fair and but I
cloudy days. No frost. Nothing is said
about the smoky fog the last three or
four days of the month.
These August weather proverbs are of
fetal:
If the first week In August is unusually
warm the winter will be white and long.
When the dew is heavy in August the
weather generally remains fair; when in
the beginning of August thunder storms
are passing they will generally last to the
end of the month. As August, SO the
next February. When the months of
July, August and September are I'M
usually hot, January will be the coolest
month. A wet August never brings
death. When it rains in August it ruins
good harvests. If the 9th of August
be fair or clear hope for a prosperous au-
tumn that year.

WITH BOY AND MONEY.
Mrs. Farnam Skips With $500 and
a Child.
Another Act of an Interesting Do
mestic Drama.
Peace Was Patched Up But The
Woman Bottled.

In THE LEADER of June 22nd an in
teresting story which will readily be re-
called by readers was told in these lines:
Jennie L. Farnam with a bright 3
year old boy came here from Buffalo a
month ago and instituted a divorce suit
against Hiram j., her husband, charging
cruelty. Yesterday Mr.. Farnam appeared
and told an attorney that he yearned TO
renew acquaintance with the offspring.
The attorney advised the dad to call on the
%youngster without delay. Farnam re-
paired to his wife's rooms at Eighteenth
and Capitol avenue and took the child
out for a walk. The woman engaged a
lawyer and enlisted Sheriff Martin. Dur
ing the search for the child Farnam re-
turned it to the mothers apartments in
good condition.
"At 7 O'Clock last evening there was to
have been a hearing before Judge Ma.
ginnis to determine possessory right to
the child. None OF the parties to the suit
appeared and it is presumed the matter
was aTbItrated.
CHAPTER the second: The arbitration
was only IN armistice and Farnam de-
parted after a few days. He reappeared
early this week and is in a heap oftrouble.
While in Colorado Farnam sent his
wife money at various times and it is pre-.
sumed that they contemplated ~reorganiz-
ing their household in the near future.
The family agreed pretty well at long
range until Farnam, whom several Chey-
emit gentlemen say is a very respectable
citizen, made a discovery which pretty
nearly ioored him.
Farnam has a brother down East with
whom he has business transactions Of con-
siderable magnitude. A short time since
the brother wished t. transfer 5000 to
Hiram and being ignorant of any domes-
tic squabble sent the money to Mrs Farm
am at this place.
The giddy woman yielded unto tempta-
ton with the grace and promptness of a
professional boodler and absconded last
week, iourneyinG no one knows where.
1t is limited that she was accompanied in
fight 10y a male.
Farnam FASTENED to Cheyenne when lie
learned of his brothers. mistake and has
since, with the assistance of detectives,
been e~ndeavoring to learn the whereabouts
of the woman. child and money. She
covered her tracks pretty well and the
hunters have not the slightest inkling of
the direction she travelled on leaving
Cheyenne.
Before boiling with the boy and 5000
Mrs. Farnam purchased a trunk here and
a description of the receptacle has been
spread with a pen picture of the woman.
Farnam has learned hat she carried
money for her immediate wants ina purse
and that the bulk of the plumber is sec
reted in her Undertaking.
Farnam is an industrious fellow who
can i'll afford to lose the money involved,
though this does not seem to worry him
so much as the abduction of the boy.

DR.. Binny, the catarrh specialist, will
be in the city on the 9th of August with
his complete outfit for the treatment of
all diseases of the nose and throat. The
doctor has made these diseases a special
study for the past eight years. His treat
ment is by the electric method. By his
new treatment he can relieve the worst
cases of catarrh in one minute. We I'M
derstand he makes no charges for exam
nations of cases. This will give all a
chance of knowing their true condition
before being treated.
