The council met q . committee Of the

tion. Mayor Moran and Counciimen
Durie, Jones. Tvitchell. Wallingford and
Phillips were present, and informally dis

The council agreed that the finances were
in far more satisfactory condition than
they had supposed. the total indebtedness
outside the Grant street bonds. $2D,oO0,
being only $31 900. which is S.. 70I21 inside
the limit of $50 0C0 which the city has to go
on before the limit of the charter is
reached. This condition is due principally
to the large revenue from licenses other wise
the indebtedness would have been up TO
the limit and much of the improvements
rendered impossible.
Durie suggested the necessity of taking
an inventory Of the property Belonging to
the city, as 1t was now possessed OF large
quantity of land.
The adyisability of having the street COM
missioner lay portion of Third street with
4x4 inch lumber, with the vertical grain up,
rs an experiment was discussed, but no
action was taken.
ESTIMATED COST or REGARDING STREETS.
Jones submitted IN estimate of the lum-
Der and expense of regarding the streets in
the burnt district and other parts Of the
town, and said there were other improve
ments TO be made not included in the state

upon it for at least two success
sive days. Taking Warren's own
figures as correct, and he probably knows
as much about his own business as the
editor of the Sun. he owns 100000
sheep. Outside of this county he Is as
sessed for about :. 1850, which would leave
a total of 81 .l5O head in Laramie county.
But accepting the statement that the edi-
tor of the Shm knows more about War
ren 5 business than Warren does himself
we will subtract the 10000 driven IN after
election from the total of 100, 900
and he still had 10000 sub
iect to assessment Take from this
1850 for which he was assessed in Albany
county, Wyo,. and in Colorado, for he
was not assessed in Nebraska, aud we
have g., $50 head subject to assessment in
Laramie county, which is quite different
from the return made of $1,000 head.
The Sun has never been able to ex-
plain this matter, even with the assistance
of Warren himself and it can only hope
to muddle it when it touches the cues

Said the man from Punxsutawney,
II never knew that snakes would run
at you until one day about three years
ago. | was out clearing up a piece of
ground. and one of these darned black
snakes, or black runners, whipping up
ont of n bush, put his tail in his mouth,
and came rolling at me like the driving
wheel of n Shoe Fly express. But didn't
run? Jehosaphat!'
why didn't you stop? He'd have
stopped if you had stopped, interrupted
n listener.
Yes" continued the gentleman from
Punxsutawney; "but. by the holy horn
spoons, | wouldn't have stopped. ran
down the road two clean miles. for home,
and every time Hooked over my Shout
der there WINS that reptile coming like a
scared greyhound. Icouldn't get in the
house, but had to keep running around
it; didn't even have time to think of
getting tired, aud l kept on running nm
til that internal reptile died from sheer
exhaustion. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Those who are disposed to enjoy a cou-
pie of hours or more OF genuine comic
opera should make it point to be pres
emit at the opera house next Saturday
night, Dec. 81, when E. L. Rices daz-
zlingls beautiful aud greatest of operate
extravnganzas, the Corsair, will be the
attraction which Manager Rhodes has
provided for the qualification of his pat
rons.
The piece is presented in three acts,
superbly staged throughout with the most
gorgeous settings, and the two score OF
people-most of them being handsome
and shapely young ladies', charmIngly
costumed and full OF ~music-give the play
a decided interest. The Corsdir is un.
doubtedly one of the most pleasing, as it
certainly is the most gorgeous burlesdues
that has ever been presented in this city,
and is sure to be greeted By a large audi

One night recently United States Mar.
shall Rankin arrived from CHEYENNE at
the Laramie peuitentiary with a prisoner
in tow. Supper was over but the cook
set out an appetizinR lsneh for him. As
be sat down it occurred to him that the
prisoner might also be hungry. lie told
the cook 20 let tho prisoner out to ELL his
hide with grub" The prisoners eyes
bulged out of his head as they fell upon
the layout. When he had eaten enough
to last an ordinary man a week he turned
to Mr.. Rankin aud with picturesque and
pointed profanity remarked: No use,
talking, Mr.. Rankin, Johnny Martin
don't give his prisoners no such grub as
this at his hotel in Cheyenne.

DENOCRATJC PROSpECTS.

The Kansas City Times is keeping a
lose eve on Wyoming. judging from On
editorial article which lately appeared in
it aud OF which the following is an ex.
tract:
But it is not generally known that,
although Wyoming was admitted as a
Republican state. the election of these
two men to the United States senate may
result in making the new state Demo
cratic. Both are from Cheyenne, which
is situated in n corner OF the state.
Both for years have been at the head OF
a faction of the Republican party which
insisted that no man could be a Republi-
can unless he supported hIB candidates
and bowed down before it Mr. Warren
was elected governor with the understand
ing that he would not be 4 candidate for
the senate. The promise was only i'm
piled, so far as he was personally con.
csrned, but it was made by his friends;
and it was violated. As a result the
Republican party in Wyoming is already
up 10 arms against it Cheyenne dictators
and recent aivices from Albany, the pan
ncr Republican county of the state, are
to the effect that the Democrats could
have it all their own way there now il
there we're only an election to be held at
the present time.
The Republicans Of Wyoming, outside
81 Cheyenne, have long fought against
ring rule, but the ring triumphed when
the territory was admitted as a state. Il
the ring shall continue to rule 1t will be
because it is greater than the Republican
Marty in the state. and that is not n fact,
Wyoming is actually not a Republican
state without the Mormon vote, which
Senator Carey has so far been able tC
control. aud with a bitter fractional strfC
within the party there is every reason to
believe that the Democrats will triumph
ever the Republicans two years hence
Wyoming may safely DO placed in the hst
OF doubtful states.

MURDER IN GROOM COUNTY.
william Newman Shoots and Kills
Andrew Miller---The Murderer
In Jail.

The Sundance Republican contains de-
tails of a murder near that city. Andrew
Miller, known as Jonah" was shot and
killed at Jake Kauiman's road ranch on
the Belle Fourche, thirty.fve miles west
of S~undance, by William Newman.
The trouble between the men arose
from a dispute concerning two women of
bad repute who lived near the kaufman
ranch. Newman fired three pistol shots
at Miller, who was killed instantly. New
man went to Merino Immediately after
the killing and gave himself up to the au-
thorities. Sheriff Rogers took him to
Sundaucc on Monday where he is o n
fined in the county jail.

DANCER AHEAD.

The danger line of the Legislative SEES.
sion is now being rapidly reached. The
sixty days allotted TO the session will ex.
pire January II, and in the intervening
time a vast amount Of work must be per.
formed. Even now nany bills are in
various stages of progress through the
house Some OF them have received
comparatively little attention. others none
nt ali. Many other bills are in process OF
incubation and the indications are that 4
perfect deluge will descend in the remain-
Jog days Of the session. Notwithstanding
taat both houses have decided to adjourn
fJr only M day at Christmas time it is
e i'll possible that the adjournment will
tend over a weeks time and even if il
saould not the chances TOR accomplishing
~ great results are not promising.
II all bills whish haYe been or are yet
to be presented were what they Durported
to be it might prove comparatively plain
sailing among the most OF them, but un-
!, ~tunstely many of them are drawn with
Il G purpose of deceiving and often under
tic most innocent Ruise is concealed the
J. st pernicious legislation. To those
iembers, therefore, who are anxious to
complete justice TO the constituencies
, ich they represent the working hours
o. the remainder OF the session should
he filed with hard work and even then
they cannot hope 10 thoroughly digest
ee-fourths OF the bills which will
come before them, all demanding tho
most serious consideration.
PEOPLE coming from the western por-
lion Of the state say that the taxpayers
il thst section are becoming seriously
alarmed over the Legislative outlook and
10 our Judgment they nave good reason
1, feel so. In tho first place the lobby,
for the first time during the session, has
iecome a really important factor and the
j .licAtions now are hat 1t soon will oxer-
Csc a great deal of influence. In tho
+ ,ond place the political hacks are begin
ling to gather their reserve forces to
rether and are concentrating to exercise
an influence that must necessarily be
baneful. From this time on political leg
%islation, in the strict sense OF the word,
Ilay be looked for.
The ov~ershadowing fear now is, how
ever. that the Legislature, which has so
4 r been considerably influenced by the
{ neral demand for economy, will give a
! use rein in appropriations, the creation
If new offices and in fixing fancy salaries
fJr necessary aud ornamental oficehold-
rrs. The virus of extravaRance is insidu-
,usly working its way through the legisla
i've body and it will be only through the
Ilost determined efforts that the aggrc-
gate expenses are kept down to such a ig-
IRE that a reasonable degree OF taxation
viii cover them.
From this time forward those who wish
- save the people from inordinate taxa
On must keen their eyes wide open, for
-hemes are now being concocted to ere
ate and maintain fat berths for party
heelers, no matter what the consequences
may be to the taxpayers Of Wyoming.

The question Of n"pportIonment now

proposed from Republican sources to in

THE sWIICIfMEN'S STRIKE.
The Strike Not Upheld bv Union
SwItchmen--Outsiders Taking the
Places of the ike

Although passenger and some freight
trains are moving on the Union Pacific
the road is still hampered in its freight
business by the switchmen's strike. Su-
pe%rintendent MertzEeimer is on the
ground and with new men sent 10 from
the outside to take the places of the
strikers is keeping the road open. That
there is no danger Of a general strike of
the switchmen is shown by the following
communication which was sent to both
Laramie papers:
LARAMIE, Wyo., Dec. l9.-We, the
Mutual Aid switchmen of Laramie, would
beg leave to say to the public and officials
of the Union Pacific, that as a body we
know nothing whatever of the nature and
cause OF the trouble now existing at Og-
den and Rawlins, and being in a position
to know we believe there is little if any
cause for their hasty action. The
Mutual Aid men are decidedly
in the minority at the above places and
the situation renders it very unpleasant,
not to say unsafe for them to remain
a; their posts of duty, as they should in
this case. 1t is our opinion, the action
has been fostered by the reckless element
not members of our order. whose actions
We discountenance. No fears of any
trouble in Laramie. as this is a strictly
union yard. In this statement we will be
upheld by our order wherever 1t exists.
Signed, LARAMIE SwTTCHMEN.
