II YOU want an appointive office in the
territory under the federal government it
wouldn't b c a bad idea for you to hold a
private consultation with Joe Carey at
Cheyenne.
The Laramie Boomerang has at last
come to the foregoing conclusion. If it
had learned this fact earlier in the season
it might have followed a very different
course in the past few weeks. The Lara
ME people had intended to capture what
ever they wanted altogether independent
of the influence of Delegate Carey. They
have now discovered that they cannot do
anything in the direction of securing fed
eral patronage without his aid. Aspiring
Republican politicians in the territory
would do well to make a note OF this and
paste it in their hats for future reference.
In this year Of grace the delegate is a
bigger man han a congressman.

It has always been the practice alb
solutely to forbid the attendance at
drawing rooms of ladies who had
been divorced, although from no fault
OF their own This was n Draconian
regulation to which there could be no
exception. The queen, however, sew
eral years ago very sensibly came to
the conclusion that a lady whose con-
duct had been blameless ought not to
be excluded from court because she
had divorced her husband on account
Of his misdeeds. The matter was
brought before the cabinet, but some
high church statesmen (notably Mr..
Gladstone and Lord Selborne) were
Mortified at the suggested innovation,
and the thing dropped. The question
has since, however, been revived, and
the result is hat a lady who has di-
vorced her husband may go to court
after she has received a special permits
sion. Every application goes before the
queen herself, and her majesty de-
oides each case on its merits.

There is nothing suggestive of ro-
nance about the interior of an old
fashioned storage warehouse, but il all
the household things in the musty,
Slated, cell like rooms could tell their
histories TO a story writer, he would
have material enough to last him sew
eral lifetimes. Perhaps that sofa
packed on top of two barrels of crock
cry couldn't tell you how its rotund
bosom palpitated with jealousy when
Bella's young man got SO familiar
that he ventured, after much gen.
tie protestation on Bella's part, to
let his arm steal around her belt, and
maybe that hat TACK in the corner
doesn't remember the scenes in the hall
when Bella gave the happy fellow good
night Perhaps in the adjoining com
partment, you may find Bella's and
her husbands own worldly goods, that
she was compelled to put away after
he abandoned her, or after they found
out that housekeeping was n failure
and decided TO go TO boarding.
A Sun reporter went through one Of
these old style warehouses the other
day and looked at some of the things
that sixty or more people had left
there and failed to pay the storage on.
The proprietor said some of the things
had been there for fifteen years. He
has advertised the sale by auction of
all goods on which no charges had
been paid for a year.
All sorts of people are in the list of
those whose goods will be sold if they
don't come around and pay up. Gen.
A l. Lee, a wealthy gentleman who is
now in Paris, has had n case of orna-
mental things in tho warehouse since
1887. He has probably forgotten all
about them, or doesn't want them.
Adah Richmond, the actress, is on the
list. She left the articles at the ware
house when she broke up housekeep-
ing here some years ago. Some of the
abandoned furniture belonged to hus-
bands and wives who fell out and
couldn't find q way to make up again.
Some belonged to widows who were
compelled to give up housekeeping be-
cause unable TO pay to continue it,
and some to folks who were suddenly
called away TO fields of labor In other
parts of the world.-New York Sun.

GREATSOURCES O~FRETENUEI


The spirit of Wyoming people is well
evidenced by an interview which a Denver
Republican reporter has had with Mr.. j.
c. Davis of Rawlins. Among other things
he said:
AT Rawlins We have one of the most
valuable stone quarries in the West. 1t
is a light gray sandstone, and under a
test made by the capitol commissioners of
Denver it was shown to be the finest
building stone west of the famous Bro
vicr, Ohio, quarries. The capitol build
ing at Cheyenne is built of it and also the
beautiful high school at Rawlins and the
territorial penitentiary at the latter place
is also being built of it. | made a per-
soEal examination Of the quarry a few
days ago and from measurements made on
the ground by myself l find that
there arc over 1G,O OO. 900 cubic feet of
the STONE in sight. 1t is peculiarly n di-
mension stone and can be gotten out in
blocks OF any size, while for carving and
fine finishing work | never saw anything
to equal it 1t will be the source of great
revenue to Rawlins when it is properly
placed on the market, for being right on
the line of the Union Pacific railroad we
can furnish it at a reasonable cost to
every town along the road through Ne
braska as far east as Omaha.
Then we also have at Rawlins the
famous iron paint mines. from which the
paint used on the Brooklyn bridge was
obtained. 1t is a red hemitite ore of n
very fine quality, but the mine has not
been worked for the past few years. L
see, however, hat within the past few
days Denver parties have become inter
csted and two carloads of the ore were
shipped to this city.
Within the last week samples OF coal
were brought into our own from a point
somewhere south of Rawlins aud Mr.. Il.
NJ. Galbraith reduced it to coke and
found that it made a coke equal to any he
had ever seen. This is not so strange,
however, for as far back as 1864, when
the Union Pacific road was being built, it
was reported that a very fine vein of COX
ing coal existed somewhere in the vicinity
of Rawlins."

THE Republicans of the territory do not
seem disposed to let the Inauguration of a

something of trivial Importance. They

Quoted into office with all the pomp and

OF governors in the states. Hitherto the
oath of office has been administered to
Wyoming governors with the absence Of

the ceremonial the attention of the peo-

popularity of the new governor but a
manifestation as well of the popu-
lar appreciation of the increasing
dignity which attaches 10 the of

therefore be accepted as a general real

tory to whom a thought of this sort will
not bring pleasure. The friends of the
puny child who grows into lusty manhood
glory in his strength. The people of
Wyoming glory in the manifestations of
the growing importance of their own COM
