Ever since it was discovered that it
took nine tailors to make a man, the
knights of the shears have puzzled
their brains to find a remedy for trou-
sers bagging at the knees. Countless
appliances have been used, but none
Of them seem to fill the bill, and a for
tune awaits the tailor who invents
something practicable in this line. 1t
has been reserved for a New York
firm, however, to partly remedy this
evil, and that is to press the trousers of
their customers, say nee a week.
Messengers are sent around to the
houses of the patrons of the firm, and
the trousers are taken to the store and
pressed for $40 a year. This makes a
very moderate outlay for considerable

"Do you notice. queries a reader of
The Breakfast Table, ''how prevalent
the idea is, even among newspaper
men, that we are in the last decade of
the century,
1t is a common error to which the
correspondent alludes, but a moments
thought cannot fail to set one right.
From the opening of the Christian
era 10 the year 10 certainly formed the
the first decade of modern chronology,
and the second decade began with the
year II. The First century ended with
the close of the year 100, and the Sec
ond century began with the opening
of the year lOl. SO the Nineteenth
century began with January /, 1901,
and will close with December 81, 1900.
The last decade of the Nineteenth cen
tury will not begin, then, until Jan
uary |, 1891. Nevertheless, people for
the rest of this year will insist that we
have entered upon the last decade of

A SIGNIFICANT ELECTION.

The Laramie Republicans at their city
convention held last Saturday proposed a
series of resolutions in whish they cordi-
ally invite the Democrats Of Wyoming to
enter the fold of the grand old party. In
the face Of such a spectacle as two Repub-
lican tickets in the field at the city cleo.
ton three days after the adoption OF these
resolutions, it strikes us hat the Albany
county Republicans should first be reason
ably sure of their own party before they
invite recruits from any other organi2a-
ton.
The Laramie election was a rather pecu
liar affair. The straight Republican
ticket was manipulated by Groesbeck and
Carpenter who at the last municipal cleo
ton helped TO elect the citizens candi
date for mayor, Mr.. Trabing, over the
regular Republican nominee, DR.. Fin
irock. This year they intended to run
Trabing on the straight Republican ticket
but finding intense opposition against
that gentlemen on the ground that he had
failed in some Of his pledges to certain
elements in the community, they dropped
him and took up Col, Downey.
A. s. Peabody was then nominated by
a citizens meeting co imposed mainly of
Republicans. Mr. Peabody is also a Re-
publican, but he represents a faction
which is on lighting terms with the sup
porters of Col. Downev. The Citizeus'
ticket was composed Of men opposed to
the Cheyenne Republican clique and Col
Downey's ticket of adhereuts. of that
combination. That the Citizons' ticket
was elected with the exception of two of
its candidates is therefore OF territorial
siEnIica nee and is in line with the gen
eral political revolution now in progress
in Wyoming.

that London has obtained a fictitious

FOR CUTTING WIRES,

Efforts Being Made to Indict Supt.
McCabe Of the Northern Pacific.
JAMESTOWN, N. D., Special.-The night of
Feb. A, 1890, was time of great importance
to the lottery ring in North Dakota. There
was work done in the interest Of the concern
that night on account of which certain men
suddenly left their positions in the employ
of the railroad company and have since
carefully absented themselves from the
state. Among those who have dis
appeared are George McCabe, a
brother of Division Superintendent A. J..
McCabe, and who was employed as chief
train dispatcher, and subordinate operator
named Taylor. On the night of Feb. the
| telegraph wires of the Western Union Tel
egraph company were cut about two and a
half miles east of jamestown. This work
was done by George McCabe and two
operators named Taylor aad Burner,
presumably under the direction of
| the Superintendent himself. At that time
| a great many kilograms, both for
against the lottery project, We're passing
over the wires, and young McCabe and his
two assistants side-tracked such as were un-
favorable to the lottery and rushed the
others through with all possible haste. 1t
is charged that they advised the friends of
the lottery of the contents of messages In
tended for the ani-lottery people in ad-
vance of their delivery to those entitled to
them, and thus put
TIE LOTTERY CROWD
in possession of the secrets and plans of the
anti-lottery people before the opponents of
the lottery could communicate with each
other in different parts of the state. Long
/ petitions and lists of names in favor of the
lottery were, it is said, rushed through
without charge, while protests against the
lottery were delayed. The Western Union
company, becoming satisfied that these
charges demanded attention, that the
integrity of the company's serv-
ice might be protected, have in
stituted an investigation. Ithas resulted in
the confession of one of the men impli.
Gated in cutting the wires. His confession
and other evidence was presented to the
county attorney of Stutsman county with
the request that he move for an indictment
ofSupt. A. J. McCabe for causing the wire:
to be cut. The county attorney prepared
the case and submitted it to Judge Rose
the judge of the district court. In thi:
state it is optional with the judge
whether the grand jury shall meet. Tht
Judge declined to call a session OF the granc
Jury because there was no other case tc
bring before the grand jury; 1t would cos
the county 500 to make the investigation
and the matter would haye to go oyer til
the next term. The next term of the cour
is in September when the Western Uniof
ueas say they will renew their effort K
