A formal protest to the organization of
Natrona county was filed at the office of
Governor Moonlight yesterday. The
ground taken by the opposition is that
the proposed county does not con-
tain the requisite number of resident
property tax payers" Certified copies
of Carbon county records are submitted
by the dissenters in substantiation OF their
allegations. The question as to who are
resident property taxpayers is the mooted
point. If the assessment roll of Carbon
is accepted as evidence the organizers are
defeated, as the settlers are all nearly late
arrivals.
Those interested, pro or con in the new
county are given until the 18th inst, to
file objections, supplemental petitions,
etc. The final hearing will occur the Goth.
Mr.. Wright, of Casper, will leave at once
and circulate another organization petit
ion. Meanwhile the opposition will not
be idle,

A Horse Epidemic.

B. B. Brooks writes from Glenrock to
the Stock Journal of this city that stock
men In that section are worried over a bad
horse disease. He says:
st put in an appearance early last
summer, and since the first day of last
July has killed over $50 head of horses
within a radius of twenty miles of here.
General report claims it was brought %
this country by a horse from Montana.
The territorial veterinarian made a flying
trip to this section last summer and pro-
nounccd the disease spinal meningitis.
Had he said final come-and-get us he
would have been nearer the mark. He
advised moving the horses into the noun
talns.
One horseman tried it and his horses
died off faster than ever. Alter losing
fifty or sixty he shipped the rest and sold
them. The veterinarian also thought
that frost would check or kill out the dis
In this also he was mistaken, as
Mr.. Webel was here to-day and said
he had lost eight in the past few days.
Mr.. Macy and MIR. Milan have also lost
some lately, We are all afraid that when
warm weather the disease will
break out worse thar ever. So far the
chances seem to be a dozen to nothing
that when a horse gets this disease he
dies. 1t spreads very slowly, but hangs
on persistently."

R
Twenty Miles of Right of Way Approved
by the Government.

The Cheyenne land office has been an
prised of the approval by the secretary of
the interior ola map filed the 18th inst.
by the Wyoming & Eastern railway I'M
DER the provisions OF the right of way act
of March 3, 1873.
The land covered by the filing is a
twenty mile right of way from a point on
the Nebraska line about a mile from Fort
Laramie due west along the north side of
the Platte river.
This map is signed by Willard X. Jones
as president of the company, Jas. d.
Negus. secretary and Jas. r. Malaby,
chief surveyor.
Readers of this journal have been kept
posted on all movements OF the Wyoming
Central, and are doubtless aware that this
is the proposed across the territory line
from Ogden to Sioux City and
that construction work is being Wig
o%rously pushed at the Terminus. The road
has route hunters in the field in Wyom-
ing and Nebraska, a party Of surveyors
having left Rawlins not more than ten
days since. Considerable grading has
been done in the territory by the com
pany and 1t has come into possession Of
much valuable land, including fine coal
beds of large area.
Although the paid up capital of the
corporation is only $4,000, 1t is evident
that it means business. The officers
claim that there is almost unlimited capt.
tai behind the enterprise. The Wyoming
Central has. by movements to parallel the
Northwestern, forced the older line to
exert itself. The new company has laid
track across the territorial line near Fort
Laramie.

Here are a few February weather
proverbs furnished by the signal service
bureau at Washington:
Violent north winds In February herald
a fertile year.
If the ground hog is summing himself on
the ID he will return for four weeks to his
winter quarters again.
When the cat in February lies in the
sun, she will again creep behind the stove
in March.
If February gives much snow. a fine
summer it doth foreshow.
There is always one fine week in Feb
ruary.
For every thunder with rain in Feb
ruary there will be a cold spell in May.

The latest rumor, fresh from Omaha, Is
to the effect that Mr.. Dickinson will be
appointed assistant general manager in
charge of the lines Of the eompapy cast of
Cheyenne. This is the position now held
by g. S. Mellen. The services of Mr..
Mellen, however, are not to be discon-
tinued. On the other hand, the depart
ment Of general traffic, which was abol-
ished by the late Vice President Potter
when he was with the Union Pacific, is to
be revived, and Mr.. Mellen is to be APP
pointed general traffic manager with head
quarters at Omaha.
1t is stated that Mr.. Dickinson will also
make his headquarters at Omaha. 1t
is also stated that, on account OF Mr..
Mellen's extensive knowledge of traffic
arrangements, he has been urged to
accept the position of general traffic nan
ager, and has given the vice-president to
understand that the change will meet his
approval.

CONOyER BROS. & BEHNING PIANOS.

The stride which the Conover Brothers
piano is making in the favor of the public
is one of the surprises to musicians. They
can understand that so glorious an instru-
ment should take the lead, but that in the
face of such long standing preiudices in
favor of other instruments, it should leap
at bound into the highest place in the
public favor is the thing that surprises.
That it has done so, however, is the fact
This piano, which is represented here by
Messrs. Taggart & Chamberlain, has taken
the same position in Utah that it has as
sumed elsewhere. At their warehouse, 1856
E. Third South, they carry large stock of
these pianos, which all interested are cor
daily invited to visit and examine. For
sweetness of tone, elasticity of touch, vol
ume and excellence of workmanship and
adaptability to wear, it is unsurpassed,
while the price will be found to compete
with others where the workmanship and
finish are Of medium grade. The same firm
represent the Behning pianos, one of the
best in the market. The workmanship and
the finish on this piano is also first-class.
and he is hard to please who will not be
satisfied with the tone, touch, volume and
beauty of design of the Behning. They
carry other medium pianos, and those want
ing a good instrument at bedrock prices
will save money and secure the best by
visiting the piano warerooms of Messrs.
Taggart & Chamberlain. They also carry
fine lot Of stools, covers and other articles
that accompany the piano.

Another meeting of the city council has
passed and still the grade on Fifth street
hill has not been settled. A remonstrance
signed by some forty-three citizens and
supposed taxpayers was read and referred
TO the committee on streets. The grounds
taken by the signers as set forth in the
article was that the grade was easy enough
and to reduce it would cause the loss Of
some shade trees, be a useless waste of
money and unsettle values Of property in
that vicinity Nearly all who signed and
owned property anywhere, owned 1t in the
immediate vicinity Of the proposed cut.
The Improvement recommended by the city
engineer calls for reduction from seven
and a half feet in 100 to six feet, and makes
2 cut of about fourteen feet at the corner of
Seventh street. This is considered a neces-
sity by the engineer as well as those doing
business below the hill who live on the
bench. There is no better way of ascend
ing to the bench than by Fifth street but
heavy loads could not be taken up at the
present grade 1t is presumed that all the
balance of the resident holders of the
bench favor the proposed change and the
council should ascertain the facts and then
do their duty.

very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in physician, who treated him for about four
weeks. The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physician to be hives in an aggravated form,
became larger in blotches, and more and more
distressing. We were frequently obliged to get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments, etc. Finally, we called other
