Spider. p.a, and En-, Their spou.e..

Everybody has heard of those saw

lieve) whose members deem it a bound
en- duty to brain their aged parents,
and thus save the old folk from the
trouble and bother Of living on; while
the economic side of this barbarous
custom may, of course, also be con
sidered. Something equally distress
ing has to be chronicled Of the spi-
ders, for it is certain that Mime. Spi-
der is on the whole a regular virago.
She beats and mauls her husband, and
If police courts existed in spider soci-
ETY. the magistrates would have a
busy time Of it in the way of fines,
imprisonments and judicial separa
tions. Not content with exercising
marital authority, in the reverse or

command is usually exerted, Mrs. Spi-
der has actually been known to make
an end Of her mate by Staying and,
distressing to relate, by devouring him
also.-London News.

While the great and destructive iirt5
were raging and roaring in the mouai-
tains Harry Whittier and w. y. Jorscn-
son, at Ike Klopp's miners caLiI. in
Grant county, Ore, were right in the
midst of it. They say it was Il grand
yet awful sight to see the angry flames
leap from tree to tree, run up like light
ming, devouring every branch and max
ing a fearful noise.
Harry gazed at the strange panorama
for some time. Finally remembering
his partners cabin, a little farther down,
he said to his companion; "Jorgensen.
let's go down and save Ike's blacksmith
shop and mining tools while it is yet
time" They went, and found the cabin
surrounded by fire and destruction. At
ter putting all the tools in a cart and
running it into a tunnel they returned
to save the cabin, and while Harry stood
straddle over a little brook getting water
as best he could a limb of a tree came
down, hit him on the head, cracking the
skull, and the blood rushing from the
wound ran over his face and blinded
him. He called for his partner, who
was cut off by fire and barefooted, yet
he rushed through the heap of burn
ing Goals, fire and smoke, burning his
feet dreadfully. Harry was helpless,
yet still conscious, and it kept Ike busy
fighting fire to save him from a horrible
death. They finally reached the other
cabin in safety, but the next morning
Mr.. Jorgensen's eyes were swollen shut
and his feet full of blisters. Mr.. Whit
Ter was also a sad sight to behold, and
there they were, alone in the world, hid
away in the mountains, with no one to
help them or cook for them a bit to eat;
yet they managed to reach the valley.
and both are all right again, but their
adventure in the mountains on that aw.
full day will remain a green leaf in mem
ory's variegated wreath SO long as they
live.-Dallas Times. Mountaineer.

seoulnr EaucntIon In Japan.

A returned missionary, who has been
many years in Japan, has just been
showing some curious effects of culture
in that country. 1t seems that the jap
anese have seized upon the idea of sec
ular education with great avidity. While
only 1000 children go to school where re-
ligious knowledge is a part of the cur
riculum, over 1000, 900 attend where the
teaching is purely agnostic. The young
men develop a keen love for metaphys-
ical doctrine and research, but their IA
orite authors are Mill, Spencer, Darwin
and Huxley.-Chicago Mail.

There are several good reasons for
the attempt to train swallows for mill
tary messages instead OF carrier pige-
ons. The swallows are swifter and
o difficult marks to shoot at. The
experiment so far promises well. A
young swallow from Roubaix flew
home from Paris, 1853 miles in an hour
and thirty minutes.

The Tax Question.

AT a meeting of the county commission
ers yesterday all members were present.
The board instructed the clerk to re-
quest the county attorney to submit a
written opinion on the tax claim of the
territory against Laramie county in re-
gard to rebates OF taxes, on mortgages,
also railway and back taxes.
The commissioners also wish an opinion
by the attorney on the official bonds of all
county officers, particularly as to the legal
construction of the same.
Auditor Grant and Deputy Sewart at
tended the meeting on behalf of the
territory. The tax question was dis
cussed at length and the matter will
doubtless be settled without the aid of
courts.
The board adjourned to 10 O'Clock this
morning.

The manager of the Camilla Urso Con-
cert company is probably the most absent
minded American nonresident of Cana
da. Two weeks G his troupe was billed
to appear at Laramie last Monday even
ing and Cheyenne twenty-four hours later.
Monday afternoon the company reached
Cheyenne from Denver, and after dining
proceeded to the Congregational church
for rehearsal. Here the members were
blandly informed hat the contract for
their Cheyenne appearance indicated
Tuesday evening as the date. Reference
to the managers route book established
the correctness OF this statement made by
the Cheyenne churchman. Here was a
pretty howdedo, but Mile. Urso, with her
ready woman's wit, was equal to the occa-
sion. The time Of the discovery of tie err
ror was twenty minutes to the departure
of afreight for the west. The lady took
charge of affairs, rushed the packing, Sc
cured tickets and in about three minutes
less than the allotted time had her artists
seated in a caboose.
The troupe had a long and tircsome
ride to Laramie. but kept both engage
ments.

WIN do HIS Best.

Delegate Carey writes to Auditor Grant
that he will use his utmost endeavors to
induce the interior department to act
without delay upon the rules for the less-
ing of school and university lands within
the territory. Mr.. Carey adds that the
department is very busy indeed, desiring
to dispose of as much accumulated bust
ness as possible before the change in the
Administration.

A FacetlOus Tramp.

An educated and would-be humorous
tramp was arraigned before Judge Lee
yesterday. At the conclusion of a very
pretty speech the warrant said:
so you see, your honor, my principal
want is want of principal. If l had capt.
tai I'd blossom out here as a real estate
operator, though how I'd fare | can't
really state"
Your principal want" said the Judge,
severely, adjusting his glasses, lis want of
principle and want of rest. I'll give the
officer a due bill on Sheriff Martin and
you can board with him until they COM
mence work on the shops"

OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED.
Some Startling Changes Made by
the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Dickinson's Office Abolished
and Mr.. Cumming Promoted
Mr.. Bard, From a Chicago Line
Comas to Cheyenne.

Bulletins announcing the railway
change of the season were received here
yesterday. Here is a general order ex-
planning the situation. 1t was issued at
Omaha the 22nd inst.
Taking effect Feb. l, 1889 MIR. G. NJ.
Cumming is hereby appointed assistant
general manager In charge of the COM
pany's lines west of Cheyenne, with head
quarters at Salt Lake City, and will re-
port direct to the general manager. The
superintendent of the Idaho and Wyo-
ming divisions will report to Mr.. Cum
ming direct.
Taking effect Feb. l, 1889, the duties
of Mr.. Q. s. Mellen. assistant general
manager, will be confined to the territory
east OF Cheyenne, and he will report d.
rect to the general manager. The super
intendents of the Colorado, Kansas and
Nebraska divisions will report to Mr..
Mellen direct.
THE office of general superintendent
will be abolished on and after Feb. |,
1889, The general superintendent, Mr..
Il. Dickinson, will for the present be un-
attached and will report direct to the
vice president, and will perform such
duties as may hereafter be assigned to
him."
The bulletin is signed by General Man
aeer Kimball and Vice President Hol-
comb.
This Is a revolution in the operating
department of the Union Pacific, but not
IN unanticipated inn walton. The change
to what is a system approved by many
roads was predicted several weeks ago,
but even President Adams himself denied
that the event was to occur. and scarcely
any one believed that the company would
dispense with the services of MIR. Dickin-
son. AS it is the latter will probably go
to some other line. Surely a man who
has occupied the position of general
superintendent will not accept a subordi-
nate place.
However satisfactory the new system
may be to the Union Pacific, its adoption
will for some time be regretted by the
Cheyenne people. 1t removes Mr.. G..
M. Cumming from the Magic City to the
Mormon metropolis, thereby taking from
this city a man whom every citizen re
spects and in whom all have the greatest
confidence. Still all will congratulate
Mr.. Cumming upon his deserved ad-
vancement. He is a fine gentleman, a
practical railroader of large experience
and great executive ability, and a thor
ough business man. He was a f~avorite
in Cheyenne from the first, and his con-
duct in the shop deal made him hundreds
of friends.
The name Of Mr.. Cummings successor
is omitted from the change bulletin, but
THE LEADER learns from a reliable source
that the mex superintendent of the Wyo-
ming division will be Mr.. Bard, formerly
of the Missouri Pacific and now a super
intendent on the Chicago, Burlington &
Northern. Mr.. Bard is represented as a
gentleman in every way worthy the place.
Receipt Of the special order has placed
many of the employees at this point on the
anxious bench. They simply wonder
what will become OF them.

Only One Train.

1t is thought that after Feb. 3 there
will be only n train per day from Chey

evening, and leaving Denver at $50 the
following evening. Nothing has been
heard from the new time table for a few
days, this rumor coming from Denver.
