J.. CoOMBs.
A Lecturer Who was Criticised Gets
an Apology.

An excellent specimen of the lusty
swash buckler in the person of Prof. j.
Vincent Coombs delivered a lecture in
the Methodist Episcopal church of this
city about three weeks Ego. j.. Vincent
ADVERTISED that the spout would scintil-
late with 1sk humor and wit aud an i'm
proved style Of pathos calculated to
wrench seething tears from pictorial
Balaam. The m~onologue did nothing Of
the sort, however. Every intelligent
person in the limited audience pronounced
it the veriest rot sans original thought
and ennobling sentiment. This writer
kindly but firmly branded Coombs as a
rank fraud and mildly ~insinuated that his
brand Of wit was spurious, humor coun-
terfeit and pathos an indescribable article
without any merit whatever. He said the
lecture was instructive, but it made peo-
pie tired and had a tendency to cause
lapse of memory unless prompt and posi-
tive measures were taken. The refined
and amusing anecdotes were repetitions of
coarse yarns retailed in a cross roads store
by unlettered yokels. Altogether the lee
ture was a trife the vilest thing OF the
sort ever perpetrated on a Chey-
enne audience. No one actually sue
cumbed on the occasion of the
professors visit here, but the breath of a
number was coming in nightly abbrevi-
ated trousers when he considerably
ceased.
Coombs writes to THE LEADER from
Glenwood. Colo, demanding justice.
Here is a COB of it, prof. You say you
will visit the city II the matter is not
righted. If you don't think this rights it
come on. The lecturer sends references.
No good. Anyone can get references.
It's not who. but what2 on the broad
plains OF Wyoming. Coombs is in reality
a Christian church revivalistan d may be a
fair exhorter in q country where the per
centage of illiteracy approaches the high
water mark.

A Puget Sound Line.

The Union Pacific has decided to ex-
tend the lines of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company from Tekoa to Port
Townsend and Tacoma. This is an i'm
portant extension and will make a shorter
line to Puget sound points than that now
in uze. Under the present arrangements
the Union Pacific is compelled to use l56
miles of Northern Pacific road between
Portland and Puget sound points. In the
recent controversy between the two COM
panies the first mentioned endeavored to
lease trackage over the above section OF
the Northern Pacific, but this was unsuc-
cessful.
The proposed line will give them a road
to Puget sound fully 100 miles shorter
than the one afforded by the Northern
Pacific. The survey has been completed
and calls for an excavation of 400, 900
yards of solid rock, which is in the mount
ainous district through which the road
will pass.

OF Fair w yOmIng.

A correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
Jlape writes from Pine Bluffs:
Texas always furnishes most all the
2 year-olds raised in the west, while
Colorado, Wyoming and Montana fur
nish the grass to feed these cattle until
fit to market. Colorado is fast becoming
a farming state while Eastern Wyoming
is settling up fast by thrifty farmers, and
as soon as the overland trail between
Texas and Montana is closed the cattle
business will be improbable. The spring
drive will reach forty or fifty thousand
head. 1t is claimed by cattlemen direct
from Texas that fully hat many will be
ready by February next and double that
number by May next to drive north.
Should Wyoming and Montana fail to
take these cattle and fed them until fit
for market, Texas cattle raising on a large
scale would end.
The range was never better than it is
this spring. and cattle are farther ad-
vanced thap in former years. Rain has
fallen continuously for the last two
months, and what crops have been sown
in Eastern Wyoming are growing SPLEEN
didly. Homesteaders who focked in here
and Western Nebraska, last year are very
confident and claim that what was know
only a few years & as the Great Ameri-
can desert, will raise large crops In a few
years.

For fine watch repairing,
David Miller 3l9 w. 18th st.

The Walker, Ia, Naes says: Our
old friend, Robert Baird, of Muscatine,
la, has been secretary OF the state senate,
and an active politician for years, but was
never generally known until he had the
collie and used Chamberlain's Collie, Chol
era and DiarrhGa Remedy and got into
one of their advertisements. Now he
is famous" Here is what Mr.. Baird
said: While in Des Moincs, l was
taken with a severe attack of bowel COM
plant. For two DAYS | suffered intensely,
trying several drug stores and paying them
for relief, but in vain. | finally bought a
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Chol.
era and Diarrhea Remedy, and two doses
OF that brought me out all right. 1t costs
less than the drug store preparations and
| have the balance for future use. | con-
slider it a grand remedy" Twenty five

Capt. stacey tainted.

Harmony hall services were last even
ing attended by the usual motley crowd.
Capt. Stacey conducted the exercises and
sang and talked until it seemed as though
her lungs would REBEL. The unassum-
ing Gribben modestly related her expe-
riences and Harvey read from the script
ures and preached a fair sermonette. An
aged German made a short address in his
native tongue, but no one came to the
penitent form.
Toward the close Capt. Stacey became
excitedly earnest and while doing the
wind up tainted dead away. She was
soon revived and was able to walk home.
A number OF ladies came to her assistance
with commendable promptness.
While the audience was filing out a
real tough customer SAID: "Fellars, dat's
part OF de play. sure"

The NiIometer.

Hon. j. A. Johnston Is experimenting
with the Wyoming nilometer on the De-

land on the Cheyenne & Northern. The
nilometer measures automatically the vol
ume of anv stream or ditch. 1t Is Mr..
Johnston's purpose to find out precisely
how much water Is required to Irrigate a
given area. The result Of these expert
ments will be interesting to every one and
of great value to ranchmen and prospect
i've settlers. All of the data secured will
be published in the next annual report OF
Territorial Engineer Mead.
