A CHEYENNE INSTITUTION.
How to Secure a Home at n Low
Price and on Easy Terms.

The Home Building and Loan Asso-
cation which is now receiving stock sub
scrip:ions affords splendid opportunities
for the requirement of a home on easy
terms. BY a monthly payment not larger
than an ordinary rent a home can be Sc
cured1n a very few years.
Shareholders in the association desiring
to borrow funds will be able to do so at
yearly interest rates of less than six per
cent. 1t has been demonstrated and j.
held by experts who have given the sub
ject of building associations careful study
that local institutions combining their
operations to the town or vicinity where
they are located are the most successful
of institutions of this class. In home
institutions the expenses of management
are nominal the stockholders acting as
trustees, appraisers attorney and in other
positions without pay. No commissions
have to be paid to solicitors and no salar-
les and expenses to agents. In local IN
situations shareholders are familiar with
properly and its value on which loans are
made and bad loads are avoided. In fact
the only failures that have ever been
known the history of building asso-
Citations are those which have
been formed to embrace in their
scope a number of towns and large
districts. They have been found un.
wieldy aud expensive and not successful.
The Home association now forming in
Cheyenne has among its stockholders a
large number of persons who have been
identified with the Cheyenne Building
and Loan association. which is about
closing its books. This association has
enabled borrowers to get loans at about 6
per cent per annum interest and has at
the same time IrUven a good investment
for those desiring a good investment. No
better opportunity has ever been offered
to secure a safe investment for monthly
earnings, or to secure homes on easy
terms and a low rate of interest than the
Home institution now starting. Its opera
tons will now be conducted with the full
knowledge of its shareholders, who can
attend every meeting of its trustees and
officers. The books will remain open
until May | at the secretary's office on
Ferguson street.

WASHINGTON, April u. - Secretary
Proctor submitted to the house the report
Of Quartermaster General Robinson in re-
gard to the condition of affairs in the
overlooked districts of St. James and
Ascension parishes, Louisiana. General
Robinson says that in st. James parish,
IN the neighborhood of the great Nita
crevasse, everything is flooded for miles.
The situation is deplorable. Hundreds
of planters have lost their crops and
thousands of laborers will soon be thrown
out of employment. At Graude Point,
where there were sixty to eighty families,
the people escaped in skifs. The whole
precinct Is under water. He recommends
instant action for the relief of the suf,
ferers by the United States. There are
liable to be in. St. James, st. John and

Around on Washington street, near La
Sale, is a man with but one leg who shines
boots and shoes in a brilliant and artistic
manner. Yesterday morning his chair was
approached by two men who wore wooden
legs also. One of them took possession Of
the vacant chair and had his shoe shined.
Then the other put up his single shoe and had
it polished. Between the two cripples there
were but two shoes, and when the second
man gained his dismissal he handed over a
nickel and said to his friend Let me pay
for this-it's on me-" The one legged sinner
took the coin and regarded the other two one
legged men doubtfully. "Well,n said the
man who had volunteered TO pay the bill,
what can you kick aboutf You charge a
nickel for a shine and here are two Of us

BAYOU SARA. La, April 2l.-The
Ievee gave away at the foot of Fountain

general alarm was sounded and all the
people turned out and after hard work

done to check it. Tremendous confusion
ensued. Every boat and raft was brought
into requlsltion. Lanterns could be seen
everywhere and the cries and shouts of
men, women and children working to save
their own effects could be heard in every
direction. Not a house in town has es

destruction meet the eve at every point.
Two other crevasses developed during the
day and altogether the prospects for
