More Mail Service Needed.

While the mail service of the country
adjacent to Cheyenne has been improved
wonderfully during the past four years,
there vet remains a section for which
practically nothing has been done. This
is the eastern part of the county in the
Lower Horse creek and Goshen Hole dis
tricts, where are located the post offices OF
South Bend, Phillips, Goshen and Little
Horse Creek. The present mail facilities
consist of a service from Cheyenne to
South Bend. Goshen and Little Horse
Greek twice a week, and to Phillips once
a week. This is inadequate. The section
supplied has a large population of enter.
prising people who want to do business
with Cheyenne, not two days a week but
six. The service should be made daily al
Once.

A FINE TOWN.
Report of a Cheyenne Delegation
on Douglas.
Maj. WoIcott Will Pay a Man for
False Imprisonment.
Sheriff Williams Makes an Import
ant Capture.

This delegation of Cheyenne men re-
turned from Douglas last evening:
Prosecuting Attorney Stoll, Clerk Of
Court Murrin, Judge j. w. Lacey and
| ~Stenographer Morris. Chief Justice Ma
ginnis is en- route home via Omaha. The
gentlemen have been in attendance at a
session OF district court for the past
week.
According to the Magic City gentle
men the Douglassites are the salt of the
earth and their prosperous town one of the
busiest and prettiest places in fair Wyo-
ming.
Mr.. Stoil praises the place without
limit. Its climate, location, prospects,
possibilities and present condition all
come in for commentator.
The Cheyenne visitors were shown
every consideration in the future great. y
You are one of us" was the universal
sentiment. The Douglas band serenaded
the Magic City delegation and Col Muir
rim AYERS that the CHEYENNE & Northern
was extended to Douglas no less than 500
times during his stay in the place. CheY-
enne and Douglas always were splendid
friends and the bond was more firmly
welded last week.
Aside from the ~arraignment of Shelter
the most important matter before the
district court was a suit for damages for
false imprisonment against Maj. Frank
Wolcott, well known throughout the
territory.
When Maj. Wolcott was a Justice in
Converse county about a year ago a piano
player whose reputation was unsavory and
a lewd woman named Belle Drury were
arraigned in his court charged with theft.
Their innocence was established and the
woman discharged. The Judge knew the
musician to be a lawless citizen and sen
him to the county jail at Laramie without
a hearing, although n was demanded.
The man instituted suit against Wolcott
for 50, 500 and was awarded a judgment
by the Jury last week.
Shelter is in Jail at Douglas. having
been imprisoned Friday. His trial was
set for April 80. Attorneys Lacey of
Cheyenne and Vosburgh and Nichols of
Douglas will defend the man. w. r.
Stoll and f. II. Harvey will conduct the
prosecution. 1t will be a most interesting
case.
The grand Jury refused to indict three
alleged cattle thieves.
Tom Williams, the new Converse county
sheriff, made a good starter for a first
class official reputation and 1000 at the
same time the other day. Without any
trouble at all he captured one of the
Northern Pacific train wreckers and rob-
bers for whom the police of the country
have been searching for the past six
months. A Dakota officer has identified
the prisoner and is now at Douglas await
ing a requisition.

The Trap.

At the fair grounds yesterday Harry
Hynds defeated Joe Thomas and the latter
tied Billy Collins in matches.
There were three sweepstakes with good
purses, and some excellent scores were
made. In the first Vallery won; Channel,
Schuneman and Bergersen second. In
the second Channel, Scl.uneman and
Hynds divided first money; Collins, Ber-
gersen and Vallery second. In the third
VallerY, Schuneman and Thomas won
first money and Channel and Bergersen
second.
The Laramie Gun club has promised to
meet the Cheyenne men in a live bird
shoot the first week in March.

"KING,s FOOL,
Tomorrow Nights Opera and the Peo-
pie who Will Present II.

The Kings Fool to be presented here
by the Con1eid company tomorrow even
ing is a German production and acknowl,
edgedly the reigning success in the line Of
comic opera. The dialogue is witty, the
situations humorous and the music catchy.
The action is lively, plot well woven and
interest is held throughout. The cos.
TUNES are gorgeous and elaborate and the
staging beautiful and perfect to the
minutest detail. The scenery is the work
of the best artists, and some of the new
mechanical effects have startled the East
ern stage world.
The chorus is a great feature. Herr
Conreid says it is, collectively, the hand
soonest, best formed and best trained in
the world. Chicago accepted his assertion
on this point and added that it was also
always in perfect voice.
Prof. Harris Vienna lady f%encers, who
exhibited in this country before the opera
was brought over, assisted in its initial
presentation in Germany and were en-
gagged IN Chicago for the American tour.
They appear as the bodyguard of a prin-
cess and do some wonderful fencing.
There are several persons of more than
ordinary note in the company. One of
the lady fencers is a genuine baroness.
Then there Is Bettina Gerard, prima
donna. She is really BettiDa Paddleford,
and only a few months ago was a Wash
ington belle. 1t was this dashing beauty
who filled her slipper with wine at a
rather hilarious banquet and had her esca-
pade illustrated in the Police Gazette.
1t will be a great show with great PEG
pie.

CushIng,s New secretary.

Fridays Omaha Herald says that
Thomas ,VickRoy> the master workman
of the Omaha Knights of Labor, was
yesterday appointed private secretary to
George W. Gushing, the master of ma
chinery OF the Union Pacific.
The appointment created quite a
sensation and was a general surprise ow-
ing to Mr.. Cushing's supposed antipathy
for the Knights of Labor.
"Mr. Gushing is one of the worst enc
mics of the Knights of Labor" says an
old Union Pacific employe yesterday,
and this appointment is certainly strange

challenge to the sporting fraternity of
Cheyenne for a cooking main:

cocks between four pounds and four
1nces and six pounds, and fight all that

Charming House Waists.

House waists of silk or wool to wear
with various skirts will give variety
to the brides wardrobe, as they are
now worn at any hour of the day.
They are also made in most varied
materials. the newest being of figured
silks, quaint. small-patterned brocades
of old-rose or blue with lace frills, or
else simpler red or turquoise India
silks with white or black figures or
stripes. The changeable silks and
surahs also make pretty belted waists
with full sleeves, shirred or tucked
fronts and backs. and sometimes with
q plain poke to which the fullness OF
the bodice Is attached with a narrow
upright ruffie and slight stirring. The
excellent pongee silks also make USE
full belted waists for the house or for
travelling gowns, with the tucks of the
yoke and sleeves slightly feather
stitched with brown, red or blue. A
good plan with these is to made the
back tight fitting, with tucks down the
middle over a light lining, and have
the fronts loose, confined only by a belt
which comes from the under-arm
seams. White vailing and the silk
striped fiannels are prettily made up
with blouse fronts and fitted tucked
back, worn with ribbon belt kn0tted
in front over the full blouse. -Harper's

L
River ct India.
AT daybrnak went to the river bank
and boarded Il small boat pulled by four
men. 1t was an egg-shapcd craft with
| one end broken. and there the rowers
sat, while chairs are placed out on top
the little saloon or room beneath The
air was cold and damp. the sun not
having yetreturned from the new world
to warm things up here. The sight
was curious indeed. Along the whole
river front were terraces or steps of
stone, leading down from the houses
into the water. These were covered
with people ascending and descending.
The most Of them had little brass chat
ties or jars upon their heads or shout
ders. There were men, women and
children. And besides these were sa-
cred bulls. innumerable dogs, goats
and asses. and the everlasting crow,
which is to India what the sparrow is
to England. The people would descend
to the water 5 edge and here disrObiug,
battle themselves. Some were stand
ing up to the neck in the water pray
ing; others were taking handfuls of the
liquid and after saying a few words
over it casting it into the stream again.
Rich and poor. old men and women
sat III the stream gazing vacantly at
the bottom. while their lips were NOV
ing as in prayer Some We're counting
upon their finger ends, others upon
strings of beads.
After performing their additions they
passed up the terrace-here called CHAT
and halted at one of the many small
stands covered with huge mushroom
shaped umbrellas. Under this sat a
priest with a yellow gown thrown
lightly over him in many folds; from
him they received marks upon their

DISCOUNT YOUR BILLS.
The Best Wav of Securing Margin fo,
Enlarged Mercanti @ Operations

The Hest WAY of Securing a Margin for
ENLARGED MercantI Q Operations.
Once more we call the attention of
our readers to the subject of discount
ing purchase bills Those who have
tried it say it pays, which is undoubt-
edly the case. therefore merchants in
general should give the matter more
serious consideration than they have
done. If the principle is correct, which
We believe. it can be followed with
profit by both large and small traders.
Jobbers always favor cash buyers, will
sell them on closer margins, give bet
ter bargains and terms. Bills taken
up in advance. even if it be at the cost
of unusual exertiOns, save money and
anxiety. and the merchants will feel
the beneficial effects in the freer swing
given to business, quickened energies,
and lighter heart resulting from fore
stalled obligations. This it seems to
us, is better way of using money in
hand than that of putting capital into
outside schemes, which merchants are
often tempted into doing. No business
thrives so we'll as the one which re-
ceives mans undivided attention. A
man with keen, shrewd mercantile
spirit is not, necessarily, equally keen
IN matters foreign to merchandising,
and the larger part of those who go
into Wall street or venture into specula-
tive schemes in their anxiety to get
rich fast, prove the most fallible of
lambs in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
operators. And the worst feature of
failure in these outside ventures is
their bad effect upon legitimate mer-
chandising. Let those merchants who
have spare time and money turn them
to the advantage of their own legiti-
mate vocation. Make money by meet
ing bills in advance, thus clinching
your credit and securing margin for
enlarged operations. - Geyer's Sta
toner.
