The LAST SrRAw.-For the last

abusing us and boasting Of what
he would do if we did not step
softly. The reason for this con.
duct lies in The fact that the Kick
CT not only called him 4 horse
thief, but proved him a bigamist
besides. Last Saturday the major,
who has no more right to that
title than a mule has to that Of
''professor," borrowed a shot gun
and gave out that he had camped
on our trail and meant to riddle
our system with buckshot on sight.
Word was brought to US, and al,
though we were very busy at the
time experimenting our combined
Weekly newspaper, harness shop,
grocery, bazaar and gun store Gall

We laid aside our work and went

Of the major. We found him and
We gave him such q whipping as
no man in this town ever got he
fore. He lies q broken and strand
ed wreck on the shores Of time, so
to speak, and the doctor says it
will be six weeks before he will
find any more trails or do any

with the elite ofthis neighborhood
We were invited to the adobe of
Judge Graham last Thursday
evening to witneas the marriage of
County Clerk Dan Scott to the
beautiful Arabella johnson, only
daughter Of the aristocratic widow
johnson, Of Bay Horse Hights.
The widow had made q spread
worthy Of the days of Cleopatra,
and Dan had on a new suit sent by
express from Omaha for the occa
sion. Everything passed off
pleasantly until o'clock atwhlch
hour the bride was discovered to
bc missing, and investigation soon
brought out the fact that she had
gone dead back on Dan and skip
ped the ira Ia, whatever that is,
with a bold cowboy named French

effect that she could never, never

W. 7. STEAD, in his correspondence from Rome
with the American Press states his belief that the
Pope will eventually favor the emancipation of
women. He says: "The Pope has Ecertainly
not declared for woman's suffrage. But
many of his best advisers find the demand
just and logical. And this on two grounds.
First, the obvious fact that woman in
Europe is the sole hope of the church. To en-
franchise women would place the freethinker every
where in the minority. Secondly, apart from this
sef-interested view, the Holy See is logically driven
to demand the enfranchsement Of woman. The
Roman Catholic Church has always protested
against the intrusion of the State in the question
of education. The responsibility restedswith the
parents, with the mother equally with the father,
So it in other matters, such as child labor, the
nursing of the sick, sanitation, poor relief, etc.,
etc. In all these matters the State has encroached
upon the family, The rights usurped by the State
were originally exercised by the husband and wife.
They were now solely in the hands of the State,
which is monopolized by the male. Hence as q
pis aler to restore to the woman her original share
in the management of the home and the goverance
of her children is an obvious duty, upon which
hope the church will not fail to insist. For moral
ity and religion the woman's voteis allimportant.

Nor long since the ministers of this city were
invited to define the word "Charity." Each was
allotted five minutes in which to give his views as
to the full meaning Of the word. Would it not
require great deal more time to define the word
temperance, which many seem to think means alb
staining from strong drink alone. This is GER
tainly one of its meanings, but only one, for it
applies to oyer-indulgence in anything Particu-
larly is it applicable to that unruly member, the
tongue, which needs to be held in check when
speaking OF others and their affairs, for "the good
that is done we may compute, but know not ills

MISS Cora SCOTT POND, the originator Of the
National Pageant, was born in Wisconsin in 1856.
At twenty-one she entered Wisconsin University,
from which she graduated with honor. Some years
afterwards, becoming acquainted with woman suf-
frage work in Massachusetts, she became lecturer
in that field, and has since devoted her entire time
to the cause of women. In all her undertakings
Miss Pond has been very remarkable success,
and among her other achievements has been in-
strumental in raising a fund Of $28,000 for the
Woman's Suffrage Association of Massachusetts
during the five years she has labored in this work.
The Illustrated Woman's World gives the follow
ing account of the manner in which the idea OF
Pageant was first conceived:
Last November, upon election day, while watch
ing the returns at the old South Church. Miss
Pond developed the program of the National
Pageant, dividing it into the great epochs Of our
American history and, contrary to all expectations
and predictions carried it to successful repre-
sentation at Hollis ST. Theater, May 3, 1889. The
theater was crowded to OVERLOOKING.
Miss Ponds father being an inventor when she
decided to devote all her time to the production of
the Pageant, she of course, thought of copy
right, and obtained one at once.
The initial success in Boston satisfied all that
Miss Pond was in her sphere as manager. She
has resolved to reproduce it in different places for
Women's Societies, to help them raise funds to
carry on their grand reforms
1t has been given in Newport, Hartford, re-
peated in Boston Theater, Boston, to crowded
house, in Fall River for the 'Woman's Board of
the Fall River Hospital" and always with great
success.
In seven weeks this fall, the Pageant made
$500. 1t is to be given in several cities in Mas
sachusetts, in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin,
Michigan, California and the South the coming
year. ........

A HEAVY DRAIN.

Mr.. JOHN G. CRoPsEY, late chief clerk
Of the land Office, has Just f nished a resume
Of the business under the Wilson and
Garrard regime which includes the period
embraced between Jan. 81, 1886 and
Sept. 30, 1889. inclusive. In the two
years and eight months thus shown there
were l,l47 homestead entries, amounting
TO l76. 525 acres; l.409 timber culture Of
2l2, S204 acres; 2,2s6 presumption filings,
365, 760 acres; 709 desert entries, 26O,-
sl43 acres; 81 soldier homestead filings,
1850 acres; 80 mineral application 8,
4.I533 acres; 1874 final homestead proofs,
&c, 9263 acres; 1908 pre-emption proofs
and committed homesteads. lbs. COG acres;
COS final desert proofs, 227. 1854 acres; GO
coal entries, S,s064 acres 29 mineral
entries of 2,5l24 acres; and 2ll coal fill
ings, 80, 7CO acres.
The total receipts for all these lands
during the two years and eight months
reached the enormous amount Of $780,
76S. As.
These figures of course include only the
Cheyenne land Office business. There are
besides an Evanston and Buffalo land
district which will no doubt increase the
amount to pretty nearly a million dollars.
This would have proven an immense
drain upon any new country but when
there is added 500, 900 a year additional
paid to the Union Pacific for lands, it
shows the wonderful vitality of Wyoming
to have borne up so remarkable under
such financial stress.

can now only see in Mr.. Altman
a successful gardener, a sneerinp
way OF abiding to Mr.. Altman's
labors on the city park which the ladies
of the city recently recognized by the pre-
sentation of an elegant testimonial.
The passage of the truck bill was class
legislation OF the most infamous character.
1t discouraged the production of veget-
ables and garden truck by placing a heavy
license upon their sale in the city, the OBJ
ject being to place such articles in the
hands OF a local monopoly and raise prices
to war times and figures.
The bitterest luminosity Is always arous-
ed against people who manipulate the
markets so as to increase the price of the
necessaries of life. Mr.. Altman's record
shows that he will not favor legislation
which will aid ~monopolies in maintaining
outrageous prices. His record In the leg
islature will be in the same commendable
direction, and the people Of this commu
nifty and county cannpt be hoodwinked
into thinking otherwise.
