A Storm Worth Much Money to the
Territory.

This storm" said a prominent stock
mar last evening, lis worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the territory. The
time for precipitation could have not of
been more %opportune, as the range was
pretty dry. Grass will grow as if by
magic now and the change in the APP
pearance of the country will be notice
able within a few hours after the snow
disappears. Cattle are in fair condition
now, as the winter was open, some of
them are rather quaint but they will
flesh up in fine style within a couple of
weeks. | don't care whether school keeps
or not. The beeves will be in splendid con-
dition for the market early and | am salts
fed that prices will be fair if not extraordi-
narily good. It's my opinion that there will
not be such a frightful rush to the market
as there has been for the past three or
four years
''Prettiest day I've seen since last fall"
was the retort of a ranchman to a citi-
yea who grumbled about the weather. "Ill
Just double my grocery order to-day on
the strength of the snow. I'll buy the
children some candy and picture
books and my wife material for
a new dress she has been wanting for
the last three months" The ranchman
chuckled, gleeiully rubbed his hands and
continued: IN bet that all of my irri-
eating bitches are Overlooking and that
there's a couple of feet of snow in every
hay meadow. and it's two to one that
every horse and COW on the place is laugh
ing right out. I'll be compelled to buy a
new moving machine, but the wild hay
yield will be doubled over last season and
will be rank in growth. Why this storm
is worth from $500 to 5000 to every
granger in the territory. Well show you
grains as well as potatoes next fall. There
will be more farming without irrigation
in Wyoming this ear than ever before"
Yesterdays storm was pretty general
throughout the territory. There was
more than a foot of snow here and over
two feet at Rawlins. This is Observer
Purssell's report:
The storm of yesterday was central at
8 p. M, at Fort Elliot, Tex, where the
barometer stood at 29.76 inches. The
rainfall was as follows: Montrose 90
inch, Pueblo .06, Dodge City .04, Chicago
.06. Fort Gill .32. Davenport &c. Denver

A new grocery house will be opened in
Cheyenne this morning. The location is
3l3 Seventeenth street, between Eddy

enne grocery houses twenty years and is

business elsewhere. The new house will
carry a complete line OF staple and fancy
groceries, feed, -four, hay, fruit, vegeta-
bles and produce, and will not be under

line of fancy canned goods is the finest in
the city. Fresh butter and eggs will be
in stock all the time and all kinds of
fruits and vegetables in season. No
trouble to show goods. Everyone vel
come.

Poor, Dear, Little Fellow.

Thursday afternoon a woman in trouble
invaded the Office of Superintendent Barr.
She was also in a natty travelling costume
while a felt hat was poised %iauntilY on her
well shaped head. She was a pure blonde
who would win any place so long as she
kept still.
The lady was Miss Lizzie McCauIl. a
member Of the Nat Goodwin Comedy
company and she had Il grievance. She
broke out in this style:
IL Just know the poor, dear, little fel-
low will die of fright II he has to ride in
that horrid old baggage car. You ought
to see him. He'sjust the sweetest little
English pug ever imported. He only
weighs a pound and a half and eats moth.
ing but sweetmeats and rare steak. If
you got acquainted with him | know you'd
love him.
Lizzie continued In this strain until the
conductor called time on her, but the
"purp' was carried in the baggage car.

eran9 to establish a light battery of ar
tillery in Laramie and it bids fair to be
carried to a successful consummation.
About forty Young men, among the best
known in the city have already announced
their intention to become members and
the nuuber will undoubtedly be increased

will be perfected at a meeting to be held

w yoming Railroads.

At the university Wednesday evening
President Hort read a paper on Rail
ways Necessary to the Development of
Wyoming-Routes and Resources" OF
the production the Boomerang says: The
SPEAKER gave a sweeping survey of the
whole territory, with a birds eye view of
those sections especially rich in resources.
and a description of the main lines of
railways, with branches and spurs, deemed
important as a means of developing those
u and opening them to the mar
kets of the world. He presented the
whole matter in a comprehensive, COM
pact and vigorous manner, giving a vast
amount of information within the small
est compass and kindlipg the enthusiasm
of the audience by a bold and strongly at
t~ractive picture of the possible Wyoming
Of the future. If printed in full with an
outline map and circulated in the East, it
could hardly fail of important results; for
although, as he remarked there is just
now but little of the spirit of railroad
building, enterprise of this sort will soon
return and it behooves Wyoming mean
while to make her advantages as widely
known as possible.

MILITARY MAGNATES.
The Distinguished Army Gentlemen
Here Yesterday.
They Visit and Inspect Fort D. A.
Russell.
Dined at the Cheyenne Club by the
Citizens Committee.

The party of military magnates who
have been inspecting forts in this section
of the West. reached Cheyenne early
yesterday morning in a special car, and
soon afterward were taken to Fort Russell,
where q salute was fired, and they we're
entertained by Gen. Miner. Had the
weather been favorable it was the inten-
ton to have had a grand full dress review
of the 18th infantry, and many of the
leading citizens would have gone to the
fort in carriages to do honor to the dis
tinguished visitors.
The weather, however, was very unpro-
pitious, rendering it impossible to carry
out any part of the programme which
contemplated public display. The garri-
son was, however, generally visited, and
the social feature of the entertainment
was attended to with elaborate ceremony.
A committee of reception had been APP
pointed by the board of trade to pay
some marked attention to the distin-
guihed guests. The committee consisted
of Governor Warren, Delegate Carey,
Henry G. Hay, president of the board of
trade, and Mayor Riner.
Through these gentlemen and several
other citizens a luncheon was arranged at
the Cheyenne club. The hour fixed was
1870 o'clock, as it was the intention of
the visitors to leave town at . O'Clock so
as to get back to Chicago within a week
after the date of their departure. The
tables were arranged for twenty-four
guests. They were handsomely bedecked
with flowers and glIstened with silver and
china. There was no formal speechmak-
ing, but this was fully compensated for by
the genial social atmosphere of the gath
ering. The luncheon and its incidental
features were discussed with thoroughness
and satisfaction. The stormy weather on
the outside served to make the dining
room more attractive and lend to the
affair a charm it might not otherwise have
possessed.
Those in attendance were Hon. Red
field Proctor, secretary of war; Gen.
Schoheld, commander Of the army; Gen.
Geo. Crook, commanding the division of
the Missouri; Gen. Brooke, commanding
the Departmental the Platte; Gen. Drum,
adiutant general of the army; Gen. Will
liams. adiutant general, department of the
Missouri; Col. Barr, acting Judge advo-
cate genera; Lieuts. Schofield and Bliss,
aids to Gen. Sckoield; Mr.. Partridge,
private secretary to Secretary Proctor;
Gen. Miner, Lieut.. Ogle, post adiutant;
DIR. Ives, Capt. Humphrey, Capt. Lyon.
Delegate Carey, Governor Warren, ex-
Governor Baxter, Mayor Riner, Henry
g. Hay, j. X. jeffrey, E. A. Slack and
Jno. +. Carroll.
Although the time fixed for the depart
ure OF the special train was 2 O'Clock it
was an hour later before the party lett the
club house. They seemed to be thor
eughly pleased with the town and Its
people.

by persons who, attacked BY a mild form
of rheumatism, neglect to seek prompt
relief. Subsequent torture is prevented
by an immediate resort to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Slight exposure, an
occasional draught, will beget this painful
malady, where there is a predisposition to
it in the blood. 1t is not difficult to arrest
the trouble at the outset, but well nigh
impossible to eradicate it when matured.
No evidence in relation to this superb
blood depurent is more positive than that
i've anu remedy for rheumatism. Not
only is it thorough, but safe, which the
vegetable and mineral poisons, often taken
as curatives of the disease, are not. Be-
sides expelling the rheumatic virus from
the system, it overcomes fever and ague
biliousness, constipation and dyspepsia.

COL. FISHERS DEATH.
II Occurs at His Quarters in the
Cheyenne Club.

Death stretched forth his icy hand yes
terday and rung down the curtain Of eter-
nifty on one of natures noblemen, Charles
Z. Fisher. Col. Fisher attended a CEN
NAL celebration in this city one week ago
last Tuesday. The night was raw and
disagreeable. and he wore no overcoat.
The result was a severe cold, which rap
idly developed into pneumonia. The fol-
lowing morning he was put to bed in his
room at the club and DIR. Stevens called
to attend him. From that time on he re-
ccived the most unremitting attention
night and day. DIR. Stevens, who was a
personal friend OF his. was at his bedside
almost constantly from first to last, and
with DR.. Maynard, who was subsequently
called in for consultation, did everything
that medical knowledge could suggest to
alleviate his sufferings. From the. very
first his case was known to be a critical
one. While the physician held out no
actual hope of recovery, none of Col.
Fishers friends expected so sudden an
ending to his sufferings, and the announce
ment of his death Yesterday morning
gave a positive shock to many who had
known and loved him. He made a gal
liant fight for his life. He seemed to re-
alize the dangerous character of his illness
and yet never gave up hope.
His mind was clear at the last moment,
although he had frequently been delerious
during his illness. He passed away as
peacefully as a child dropping to sleep.
Col. Fisher was a man of magnificent
physique. In all HIS dealings he was
thoroughly unselfsh. and never enjoyed
anything in life SO much as doing a favor
for a friend. His heart was large enough
to synpathize with suffering or misfor-
tune wherever found. Those who knew
him best loved him most for those fine
qualities of head and heart which made
him a man among men.
He was born at Attleboro, Mass, and
was about 46 years OF age. He went into
the war with one of the first Massachu-
sets regiments, served as an aid on Gen.
Sedgwick's staff and later in the artillery
branch of the service. After the war he
was an internal revenue collector in South
Carolina and later a government con
tractor in Arizona where he realized a
good deal OF money. Subsequently, he
went to Washington and was for a long
time attached to the quartermaster's de-
partment. About six years ago he came
to Wyoming and went into the cattle bus
mess with j. ID. Freeborn and May Gold
schmidt. Later MIR. Goldschmidt retired
and the Manhattan Cattle company was
formed, of which Col. Fisher was presi-
dent and general manager. The cattle
have for some time been run with the Ad-
doms Il Glover herd.
The deceased leaves a wife but no
children in New York. His two brothers
are manufacturing jewellers IN the same
place and his sister is the wife of Tom
Sloan, cashier of the National Express
company. A telegram was received last
night asking that the body, which is now
at DR.. Stevens residence. be embalmed
and held for further instructions. 1t will
probably be shipped east to-day.

The engineers in charge of the i'm
provement of Yellowstone park are max
ing preparations for the work of the pres
ent season. According to a Washington
dispatch the engineer officer in charge re-
ports that the roads and bridges are
generally in very good condition, but the
entire project as 20 the extent of the
roads and bridges must be carried out be-
fore the park will fully attain the object
for which it was established by congress.
All the roads, he said, should be well
constructed, not only with a view to per-
manency, but also to appearance. In con-
structing them he favors an increase
in width over the present guage where
sharp turns occur, especially on hillsides
or where the roads border p~recipices. and
in the latter case, providing them with
substantial parapets. This will add some
thing to the cost of construction, but they
are to a certain extent necessary.
