The ThaIIa Dance.

For a lenten festival, and following so
closely the St. Patrick celebration, the
bal masque of the ITALIA club was a fat
tering success. 1t was. 10 fact. the big
gest fancy dress atflir had in the town
for a couple of years. Keefe hall was
literally jammed until nearly midnight.
Before that hour there was scarcely sufi
Gent room tor the dancers.
The large nlm5.r of spectators in at
tendance we're delighted with the grand
march. There was a great variety Of
costumes, for the most part rich and
elaborate. The comics were unusually
excellent. Nearly al the suits were new.
Music was by the Italia orchestra and
was the best heard at a public dance since
the halcyon days Of the great Third cav
airy string band. There were seven
pieces. The airs were new to the dancers
aud time perfect. R1bt. f. Reamey was
the prom pier.
The ITALIA club is certainly to be con
graduated on the success of their mas
querade.

Sheriff Martin is back from the north,
where be speut three days of last week
on official business. He made Fort Lara
mic his headquarters and says that any
one who loved the old post in the palmy
days would almost weep at the sight OF
the ruins. The windows and doors have
been taken from the buildings and the
wind means dismally through the struc-
lures.
The vandalism practiced on buildings OF
the original group is especially distressing
to thu pioneers.
Bedlam was big structure which cost
the government $50, 900. Every foot of
lumber in it was hauled from Leaven-
worth, Kan, at a cost OF 8 cents a pound
One of Capt. Chas. Kings best novels
is named for the big house, which Was for
years the quarters of the off GERS sent out
to fight Indians. Mention of "Bedlam"
brings a food of pleasant memories to
the venturesome beings who came to TIE
plains years before a rans-continental
railway was considered possible.
A splendid hospital built only "a few
years ago has been diamantled, as well as
a substantial guard house. Sheriff Mar
TIN thinks the latter should have been Sc
cured by the county.
Abandonment of the fort is a stunning
blow to the civilians who have lived in
that section any length Of time. Wien
Ranchman Nolan went daft a few days
ago, the first suggestion was that : he be
placed in the guard house aud the post
surgeon called. The guard house WAS an
open shell and the surgeon had departed.
There isn't a doctor nearer Fort Laramie
than Cheyenne.
Louis Battisse, an old scout who was a
favorite with Gen Crook, is at Fort Lar
imie with a squad of soldiers from Rob
inson to complete removal of stores. Bat
tissee end Hon. John Hunton, another
old-timer, talked OF events a quarter of a
century ago all one night and reached
the conclusion hat those uncertain days
were exceedingly happy ones.

Short Line surveyors are camped on this

there eighteen months ago, but for the
strike, and with railway communication
the fort would have renamed. The
ranchmen have had a discouragiug winter,
but are coming out all right.
A new industry in the north is collec-
ton OF bones for the fertilizing compa-
MES. They are hauled to Alliance, Neb..
where they bring SIS cents IA hundred.
The return load is corn at As cents a hun

happened on a human skeleton, and they
say he sold the find for ST so. A Ger

and bought a carload of bones for a ST.

to Sioux City.
Mr.. Hunton will probably continue in
business at Fort Laramie, as there re-
mains a good ranch trade. Mr.. Hart has
not yet decided what he will do.

The secret is out at last, and there
is no longer any mystery as to the
Democratic hOWls for recount of the
population of New York City. but
the Census bureau. 1t is n 1t because
they hope to gain an additional

vote in the electoral college for the
