The Democratic party is by nature
sectional, and that they should have
raised that argument in the
contest over the Speakership of the
next House is not at all surprising.

Corey on the Fourth.
A 3-Year-old son OF Carpenter Corey
had quite an adventure on the Fourth.
The little fellow came down town with
some companions early in tn, morning to
lay il a supply OF fireworks. He left the
party and wandering to the depot climbed
on the platform of a Fast Mail car. He
was discovered al Sherman by a postal
clerk. The little tot gave his name and
place of residence and was given into the
care OF a freight crew coming this way.
He was placed in the caboose while the
conductor went to the station for orders.
During the captains absence the infant
runaway left the caboose interior and
seated himself on the lowest step. the car
being vigorously switched the while. He
was locked in, but tried to escape through
a window.
About noon the child was returned to
his parents. who had been securing the
town for him. Officer Switzer brought
the weary and hungry ~youngster home.
When it was suggested that he be jailed
as a punishment he challenged the big
policeman to a combat.
1t is a wonder that the baby was not
killed. The fast mail fairly kinks itself
around curves and they always switch in
a hurry at Sherman.

window. He is in jail and the Dakota
officer is on the trail of the other thief.
Pick travelled on the public roads. He
attended the picnic at iva on the Fourth.
1t is thought that Pick is a deserter from

BIG CHIEF MIDDLETON.
The New General Master Mechanic
in The City.
Pleased With Arrangement and APP
psarance of the Shops.
With Chemist Hodges he was Shown
the Water System.

Harvey MiddltOn, successor to George
W. Gushing IS master OF motive power
and machinery for the Union Pacific,
reached the city early yesterday morning
with II. B. Hodges, the company's chief
chemist. The gentlemen may remain
here all of today.
The new master mechanic is a young
man Of fine appearance and pleasing pres
ence. His conversational style is chatty
and he is interesting at all stages. Though
a young man, Mr. Middleton has been in
charge of the motive departments CT sew
eral great railways, and is coufessedly
very near the top in his business. He
understands both the science and practice
of his profession and is said to possess ex.
ecutive ability OF a high order.
Mr.. Middleton was piloted through the
new shops by Local Superintendent
Munro and according to all accounts was
delighted with the plant, which in com
pleteness and arrangement excels anything
on the system. There are a dozen or
more tools in the Cheyenne shops that
cannot De found IN the United

Frightful Winter in the New Fork
Country.
An Accident to a Buffalo Ladder
Climber.
A WINTER.

| have been in the New Fork country
since last August till the second of May.
writes a correspondent of the Bonanza
Rustter. There was a terrible hard winter
in flat country on stock; so per cent of
the range horses died of starvation and
rs per cent of all the cattle, The snow
was three and one fourth feet deep on a
level for over two months, and towards
the last-about the first of March-the
snow crusted 50 hard that it would hold
a horse up a morning till 9 or 10 O'Clock
in the day. That was when the stock
died the most. They could get absolute
ly nothing TO eat. Horses could not paw.
Even the elk and deer died. The deer
would not try to travel on the crust, but
would just stand in one place and starve
to death. A man 10 that country by the
name of john Watson killed thirteen one
day with his snow shoe pole. There are
a good many families in there this spring
who have lost everything they had and
could not leave the country as they had
no horses left to pull their wagons.
BUFFALO FIREMEN.
Monday evening, says the Buffalo Echo,
the members of the hose Company were
exercising on Main street. going
through with the various tiremen's per
formances. One OF the most agile mem
bers of the company is |. n. Pearson.
A ladder was raised and Pearson started
up it, climbing as the ladder was elevated.
He was Just reaching for the topmost
rung, when the ladder shook. There was
a missed clu,ch, a slip and the climber
fell heavily from the top. being a distance
of about fourteen feet. He struck upon
his head and side and was picked up un
conscious. The accident was viewed with
horror by a large number of persons who
were in the street. One young man
tainted and had to be carried away him
self. Subsequent Investigation showed
that Pearson was not killed as was first
reported, but his injuries are of quite a
serious nature. Besides being badly
bruised about the head and hip, his left
arm is broken at the elbow.
KEELING THEMSELVES.
E. IL. French last week located oil
lands for nearly every business man in
Casper. People here. realizing the true
value OF the oil fields perhaps better than
any one else, are putting all the money
they can spare into OIL lands. Can the
public at large ask for any better evidence
of the genuineness of our oil fields, point
edly asks the Derrick.

QUITE A DAY.
A Modest Observance OF the Fourth
in Cheyenne.

III Shtsthhts
The Fourth in Cheyenne reminded one
of Sunday. because it was so different.
In the forenoon it was oppressively quiet,
but the streets were thronged toward
evening and at twilight a general pyro-
technic display commenced and continued
till midnight. All the fireworks obtain
able were purchased and exploded on
Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth,
Eddy and Ferguson streets. On
Ferguson street there was a reg
ular jam for hours. and several free
fights were imminent, when the better
judgment Of the celebrants averted col
%lisions.
Two ball games were played at the
Fair grounds. and in each instance one
nine defeated the other. In the first
game Doug. Rhodes, Harry Hynds and
other coming amateurs distinguished
themselves.
In the course of the afternoon a large
number of citizens repaired to the park
and enjoyed the shade and fragrance of
that beautiful resort.
There were picnics to Silver Crown,
Kingman's Grave and other pleasure
grounds. A hundred or more Cheyenne
people, BESIDES the Union Pacific band,
spent the Fourth at Denver.
At Fort Russell the day was observed
on a quite elaborate scale. In the even

CHURCH.

M. P. Keefe and the building commit
tee last evening entered into a contract
for the construction OF the walls and roof
of the $4,000 Methodist Episcopal tab
ernacle to replace the frame church at
Eighteenth and Central avenue.
On the Fourth the conference author
lied the expenditure of 1899 in excess of
the estimate, this amounting to an ac-
ceptance of MIR. Keefe's bid of $40. e39.
The church walls are to be of pressed
brick faciIgs, Iron Mountain red sand

Work will on this splendid

who was one of the 300 victims of the
recent cut, said yesterday: Two hun

discharged tomorrow. 1t is the policy of
tho present superintendent of motive
power and machinery to dispose OF all the
men he possibly can who were connected
with the company before his advent.
This is for the purposo o favoiding trouble
which would follow a strike. A strike
will shortly be inaugurated against the

agitation will be chId's play. The men

oppressed, many of them being unable to
pay their taxes; it means innumerable
forced sales of property to satisfy the
collector, and the driving of hundreds
OF people now in comfortable circum-
stances out of Salt Lake. Comparatively
few laboring men who own the houses in
which they live could pay the taxes. The
enforcement of the letter of the law would
mean, second, that the assessor would be
the most unpopular man in the community.
There are mighty few men so callous and
Sc oblivious to public opinion that they
would willingly do that even as officials
obeying the Law, which would cause them to
be eXecrated.
MIR. Fox estimates the present cash
value of the taxable property ip the county
at S60,000,0OO, which taxed at s mills
would produce revenue of s4S0,OOO
or more than double the sum col
lected last year. AS most of this
increase would come from Salt Lake city,
one can imagine something of what his
taxes would amount to. Again, the as
SCISSOR shows that the school taxes of the
city would amount to 1900, or S126, 900
more than was collected last year.
We don't know what the county court
can do in the premises, the law being as
binding on that body as upon the assessor;
but we do know that it will not do to levy
and collect any such taxes as the law seems
to require.

New YORK justice is not so uncertain
after all. This is proven by the verdict
and sentence in the case of Sheriff FLAcK
and his fellow conspirators. FLAcK set out
to procure divorce from his wife, and as
she might object to the separation ON the
terms he proposed he didn't take her into
his confidence nor did he trouble her in the
matter, her first knowledge of the proceed
ings being the publication of the news of
the granting of the, divorce. FLACK's son
WILLIAM acted with the father against the
mother, and, there were clerks and Judges
ready for pay to make the necessary oaths,
issue the required papers and do all that
had to be done in the premises. The news
papers got hold of the business and the re-
suit is that on Monday FLACK was SEN
fenced to the county Jail for two months,
and to pay fine of $500; his dutiful yet
unnatural son gets four months and $500 /;
one of the crooked court clerks goes to
prison for a month and pays $500,
while the scoundrelly Judge takes an
appeal and thus slaves off punishment
a little while. Incidents of this kind cause
one to believe that the stories of official and
political corruption in New York are not
all true.

THE FIGURES printed elsewhere in this
issue, showing the number Of people car
ried by the street railway company, tell
story of population increase which will as
tonish even those who are familiar with
the growth of the city. 1t was in the au-
tumn and winter of 1SS7-SS that the swifter
growth set in, and strangers became more
numerous in the streets. From that time
until this winter the growth was RAPID but
steady. Thus the street cars carried a., 200
persons in January, 1888, and 81, $50 in Jan
uary of 1889. This year, however, the in
crease has been marvellous, the fares taken
last January aggregating los, 752, and those
in February numbering 196,175. These
figures explain how it is that the commu-
nifty seems like strange one to the old res
idents, so many new faces appearing on the
streets.

THERE IS such thing as going too far
with journalistic enterprise. Mr.. Dill
WORTH CHoATE, reporter of the New
York World, is just now having this fast
impressed upon his mind. In the hope and
expectation of getting SCOOP" Mr.
CHoATE secreted himself in the room where
the jury discussed the Sheriff FLAoK case.
If he had not been discovered doubtless
some very racy reading would have re
suited and some of the jurors would have
been accused of giving away secrets; but
he was caught, and on Monday was pun
ished for contempt, the penalty imposed by
the Judge being fine of $3.50 and imprison-
for thirty days. And who in the newspa
per world even will say the Judge was too
severe! Not many, we take it, for while
journalists admire enterprise and stand by
each other in legitimate efforts to get all
the news, they also realize that there is a
point beyond even which reportorial impu-
dence ought not to go. CHoATE passed that
point, and we don't believe many newspa-
per men will have much sympathy for him.
