She lay extended at full length on a
couch of downy softness. Her soft hair
waved in tai gled masses making a frame
work for a face of wonderous beauty.
Her ripe, luscious lips were slightly parted,
giving a glimpse of her glittering teeth.
In her large, languorous eyes was a far
away look as though she were thinking of
things that were pleasant to dwell upon.
The picture was framed in iretted gold
and silver and many pessersDy at Rhodes
& Troxells, where it was displayed,
paused 10 look upon it. Not a few en-
tered to gaze upon the varied and artistic
display, for the holiday season is at hand
and everyone realizes hat no more beau
tiful, lasting or substantial gift can be
given than a picture which embodies some
artistic scene.
Never before has there been shown such
an artistic collection OF artistic pictures as
is now displayed at Rhodes 4 Troxelrs,
the headquarters for holiday goods.
Cheyenne people will never have an op-
p~ortunity of making selections of more
appropriate or appreciated presents.

DIAMONDS.
A Brilliant, Hard, White Stone in
Fremont County.

The Lander Mountaineer reports that a
topaz which closely approaches the dia-
mond in every quality, has been found in
Fremont county. This is the story:
Something over a year ago J.. P. Web.
ster found several stones in the Big Popo
Agie canyon and. struck by their SEM
blarce to the diamond, sent them to
Johann Drummond, a noted diamond
cutter of Amsterdam, Holland. They
were cut into some twenty-five stones,
varying in size from one to a fourth of a
carat, and returned with the information
that they bore SO close a semblance to
the genuine diamond hat none but an
expert could detect the difference, and
that outside of the genuine article, the
Lander stone was the hardest which had
ever been cut in that establishment.
Mr.. Webster had some trouble in get
ting the stones through the custom house,
being obliged to pay duty on them and
unless he can make arrangements with
The custom officials for their entry duty
free, he will not attempt to establish a
diamond industry here.

CENTRAL.
Awaiting a Decision on a POM IN the
Big Case.


The case of the People of Fort Collins
against the Colorado Central railroad was
argued in Judge Hallett's court at Den
yer Monday. This case is in the nature
of a mandamus proceeding to require
the re operation OF the abandoned line
between Fort Collins and Cheyenne.
When the Union Pacific acquired control
of the Colorado Central a few years ago
that portion of the line between Fort
Collins and Cheyenne was abandoned.
A few months age the citizens of Fort
Collins instituted proceedings in the
United States district court against the
present lessee, the Union Pacific to co m-
pei it to resume the running of trains.
When the case came up a few weeks ago
Judge Hallet decided that the Union
Pacific was not a party proper to'the pro-
ceedings and intimated that the case
would have 10 go back to the state court,
but set a day for the hearing Of areu-
ments on that point. The case was ar
gued yesterday and the opinion may be
looked for IN a short time. The case is
of great importance to the peopleof Fort
Collins and Cheyenne.

JEFF Thompson, a bad colored man. is
serving time in the city Jail for beating
his wife. JEFF accused his better half Of
infidelity. He watched the house all
night, but could notice nothing suspicious.
Determined to do the outraged husband
act, he enlisted an INSCRIPTIONS friend
whom he stationed outside and directed
to rap gently on the door when he heard
loud words. JEFF was cursing in fine
style when there was a light knock on the
door. Who's dar2" he ~fiercely demanded.
No reply, but a REPETITION. Then he told
his wife that the caller was one of her
%clandestine visitors and proceeded to give
her a good beating,

placed his circle B brand upon the colt
end drove him in his brand. When on
the Laramie plains the colt took sick and
laid down to die, as Mr.. Baldwin sup
posed. So he came on and left him on
yonder plain. He did not die but still
lives. He was captured a few days since
up / n Northern Wyoming in a band Of
wild horses of which he was king. There
is no. installing him as the son of Nor.

which will probably set the ball rolling.
The real estate market is on the edge of a
big movement and only needs a little eff

is to have a real estate auction on the

estate will be put up for sale. In the

doubtedly prove a success.

able to furnish material for this story by
wire at s o o'clock this morning.
1t was learned at the Office late yester-

betwe cen Omaha and Cheyenne with thir.

MIR. Jones is hospitality itself and has
a fondness for newspaper people. He
very seusibly remarks that aver the buff
falo business must be advertised to be
completely successful. He has been in
this line exclusively for the past ten years
and has made a fair sized stake. His
home ranch is near Garden City, Kan,
and from this point he has for many sea-

THE HAPPY PAIR"
An Elegant Comedy Wen Played-De-
lightfuI Acting and Music,

An Elegant Comedy Wen Played-De-
lightfuI Acting and Music,
This elegant piece de salon was most
artistically performed Thursday evening
by Signor Campobello and Miss Grace
Porter. We do not remember it as hav-
ing been given here before, and thus We
have to record the performance as an
initial, and as such a very successful and
| pleasing one.
Miss Grace Porter, attired in very
becoming riding habit, opened the first
scene, representing an elegantly furnished
breakfast-room, the table being laid with
a handsome silver service for two
Shortly after her entrance she sang a
very pretty ballad composed by signor
Campobello. This she sang TO some
roses she held in her hand, and its rem
dering was very effective.
Mr.. Honeyton now appears attired in a
morning jacket, and apparently very
cross. He losses the nosegay prepared
for him by his wife int the slop basin,
and makes himself generally very dis
agreeable, until his i'll temper calls forth
from his wife the remark, "Why did
you marry me, Ferdy?" 8" Because, -
is the reply, you showed so distinctly
that you wished it, that l did it merely
to oblige you, by Jove." This is one OF
the best situations in the piece, and was
admirably acted.
The next point is scored by Mrs.
enter with his hat on his head, tells him
she ought to know where his manners
are, for he wants them woefully.
"Why," asks Mr.. Honeyton. Take off
your hat, sir, she says, when you enter
9room where your wife is sitting" He
Immediately removes his hat, and here
the artists introduce a duo exactly beft-
ting the situation. To the end of the
first act, there is considerable amount OF
misunderstanding, bringing the curtain
down at the point where Mrs. Honeyton
turns the tables on Mr. Honeyton by
telling him that she married him ''sim-
ply to oblige him, by Jove."
The second act represents an evening
scene. Husband and wife are in evening
dress, and Mrs. Honeyton is still deter
mined TO conquer her husbands bad
humor and surly manner. She succeeds
in the end, and the various ways and
means she adopts were very effectively
portrayed by Miss Grace Porter The
closing scene, where Mr.. Honeyton,
completely subdued by his pretty wife,
sings, g The cleaning to her as token
OF atonement, was very charmlngly
done, and the audience quite understood
and appreciated that they had listened /
to I charming society comedy most adj f.
mirably interpreted by refined and
handsome couple.
At the close of the % Happy Pair
some vocal and instrumental numbers
were given. Mr.. Throwers threw all his /
powers into, Non ver' and gave us a
German ballad as an encore, and Mr.. /
Schmidt handled his instrument with his /
usual skill. Mr.. Ollert played several /.
selections in happy style, and our
friend Mr.. Berger aided in a great meas
ure to the evenings entertainment by his
accOmDanimeDts
