now 1T WILL BE BUILT

As the subject Of building the Central
avenue yiaduct is attracting q good deal
of attention Just now. a few facts in rela
ton to it cannot fail to be Of considerable
public interest. Construction Engineer
Butler has already received a revised and
improved plan of the viaduct from the
Union Pacific headquarters at Omaha and
from this he yesterday figured out some
of the principal details. No orders to
begin work on viaduct construction have
yet been received.
According to the present plan the via
duct will extend across the Union Pacific
tracks on Centre avenue. On the south
side the viaduct terminates in one road
way Just twelve feet south of the north
line of Eleventh street On the north
side the man viaduct will terminate in
the vacant space between the Union Pa
ci6c tracks and the electric light house.
The northern end OF the viaduct, which
terminates sixty feet east OF the east line
OF Capitol avenue, ends in two approaches
which project at right angles, one toward
W NNuht auu Oub AOhAlu NhluAul
avenue. The entrance to the viaduct
from the Warren avenue side will
be between the Burlington and Union
Pacific tracks fity-fve feet west of the
west line Of Warren avenue. The Bur
lington tracks will be twenty-seven feet
north Of the north line Of the viaduct.
Each of the two approaches at the north
end of the viaduct, that from Capital
avenue and that from Warren avenue,
will be thirty feet wide. The main via
duct will be forty feet wide. Six feet OF
this space will be devoted to a roadway
for foot passengers the remaining thirty
four feet being intended for street car
tracks and vehicles, The approaches will
have a grade of one foot in twenty, while
the yiaduc. itself will have a fall to the
south of one foot in 200.
The total length OF the viaduct will be
1881 feet. The IT. approaches from
Warren and Capitol avenues will be 493
feet in length. The first eightg-seven
feet from the point of luucturc of these
two approaches will be of massive mas
onry. The next I,OOl net across the
Union Pacific tracks will be of iron work,
the ncxt 362 feet on the South Side of
wood work finishing up with an embark
ment of eighty-oue feet The iron work
will be made up of spans from SO to los in
dimension and the height from the top of
the rails to the bottom of the chords of
the viaduct will be twenty feet.
On whatever lines j; may ultimately be
built the necessity for its construction is
becoming moro urgent every day.

SOME ELECTION ECHOES

~IhR total vote on governor in Weston
county was 637, OF which Warren re-
ceived a majority OF 1863. There were FIVE
Democrats elected on the county ticket,
including Don Miller, formerly city en-
gineer, who was elected county surveyor.
Crook county cast sS5 votes, giving q
majority of 1873 to Warren. The closest
race was between Thos. II. Moore, Dem,
and I. NJ. Pettigrew, Rep, for county
the former being elected by a
majority of 8. A feature of the cam
paign was the election of NJ. Nichols as
prosecuting attorney by a plurality of 80
votes. Nichols is a Methodist minister,
an attorney at law and editor of the Re-
publican newspaper published at Sun
dance. SSfls ran independent for
prOsecutiusSrn beating both of his
competitors. "
Several days ago THE LEADER stated
that Kelley's majority over Martin Tor
sheriff would probably be between . and
s votes. The table which we publish this
morning shows it to have been exactly 6.
The official table Of the vote cast In
Laramie county will prove mighty inter
esting reading-rather painful, 1t is true,
to some of us but nevertheless interesting.
The total vote cast two years ago in
this county was 1885, this year 3,2I4,
showing that 4sl less votes were cast this
year than at the election OF 1888. AS a
number of the people who voted at the
last election have come here since the
election of IS it is very evident that over
500 men and women legitimately entitled
to vote tailed to exercise the right Of suf
fraPe.

so she went in and found Deacon
Decker trying to interest himself in a les
son leaf with one hand while his other
was concealed under his hat. He could
fool the neighbors but he could not fool
his wife. and so she hustled around and
told one or two who told their wives and
they all came back to see the deacon and
max suggestions to him.
This little incident is true, and while
it does not contain any special moral, 1t
goes to show that an honest man gathers
no moss and also explains a large circular
hole and the tin patch over it which may
still be seen in the pew where Deacon
Decker used to sit"

Z. F. Woolston, Yates, Orleans Co.,
N. Y, writes:
MY wife, five years ago, was confined to
to her bed with inflammatory rheuma-
tism of the muscles OF the back. The
doctors thought her case hopeless, and
doomed her to be a bedridden invalid
The violent pain kept her awake almost
every night. She lost over thirty pounds
in weight. To ease her pain l thought l
would put on Allcock's Porous Plasters,
l covered her back with them. To my
great delight she began to sleep well.
The pain very much abated in one week.
l then took the plasters of, washed her
back, and put on fresh ones. At the end
of the second week, she insisted on getting
up, and by the third week was entirely
well and able to attend to her household
duties

A coMsINe.

She came here from the middle west,
And yet she had, be It confessed,
A Boston air around her;
A figure slight, a forehead high.
An earnest look, a clear gray eye;
And so for her l came to sigh,
And wise and charming found her.
But as 10 press my suit 1 came
Full oft she smothered all my fame
By asking curious questions;
The wrongs of woman, the state and land,
What social changes Ibsen planned,
She'd ask me to discuss offhand
And give her my suggestions.
Did 1 agree with Henry Georger
Would selfish capital disgorgo
The share that toll demanded?
How could the INDECENT be feds
Should criminals be allowed TO we'd
Did tariffs raise the price of breadg
She begged me 10 be candid.
And when the race at last had gained
The highest point TO be attained
By growth or revolution,
What would the last great victory be,
The hnal goal that men should seey
What did Utopia mean for me
The end of evolution?
And as I heard 1 grew more dazed,
Until at last my courage raised
To utter desperation.
Utopia means for me" l said,
'The social contract when We wed.
Wen form a trust" h shook her head
Call it cooperation"

the scenic pictures are Harlem river rail-

produced without hitch and elected
