GRAND JURY REPORT.
Shortest Session of that Body ever
Held in this County.
Returned Six Indictments and found
Three Not True Bills"
Jail a Model but a Change to make
Office Room Recommended.

The shortest session of a grand jury
ever held in this county ended yesterday
when the following iaal report was sub
mitted:
To Hon. Willis Van Devanter, Judge of
the first district court, Wyoming Terri.
tory:-We, the grand jury appointed at
the May term Of the district court, would
respectfully report that we have found
six true bills and three mot true bills"
In territorial and United States cases we
have examined IN all twenty Eve wit
nesses.
We have examined the jail and Offices
in the court house. In the latter some
room has been gained by the removal of
the office of the clerk of the district court
aud the judges chambers to the capitol.
This change now provides ample room Tor
the county clerk. If the sheriff Office
we're removed to the rooms formerly occu-
pied as the Judges chambers and the
present sheriff. office placed at the dis
posal OF the county treasurer 1t would add
much to the convenience in transacting
public business.
We have made a thorough examination
OF the jail, and cannot speak too highly
of its perfect cleanliness. The health of

Still they are not happy. They complain
that when walking in the streets of
Naples they do not meet a single face

victim. Signor C.ispi represents a pater-

1t Should Not be Forgotten That God
Helps Those Who Help Themselves
To the Editor of The Leader
CHEYESNE, Who. June 2.-lt has
for some time been evident to my mind
that if Wyoming is to be admitted during
the present session OF congress, our peo-
pie must press the senate for action.
There are SO many matters of state alb
sorbing the attention OF senators, that
they are prone to overlook our claims.
This may be natural, too, through our
own apathy. There is no delegation of
citizens in Washington urging admission;
and no petition or resolutions of our peo-
pie are on file. The senators are, per
haps excusable. if they incline to think
that the people OF Wyoming are not
anxious for statehood,
With the subjects of the tariff and
interstate commerce intervening before
the disposition of the silver bill. so much
time may be lost that an adjournment
may prevent action on the Wyoming bill.
These are the dangers that threaten us.
Now for a remedy. l suggest that the
citizens of each and every city and town
and settlement in the territory hold mass
meetings and adopt appropriate resolu-
tons praying for statehood; also to APP
point as many representative citizens as
possible to go to Washington Immediately
and convince the senators that our peo-
pie are in earnest for statehood.
IL will not do to trust to fortune to admit
US. Know ye not who would be free
themselves must strike the blow 2" The
history of the recently admitted states
shows that they had large and influential
delegations in Washington at work for a
long time, and they succeeded finally in
impressing upon congress the earnestness
of their people.
The boards of trade and town councils
and leading citizens should at once call
mass meetings in their respective local..
ties Let resolutions be adopted and del.
egations be appointed to present the same
in person to the proper authorities. The
people of Wyoming are practically unan-
imous for statehood. Let them say 30,
and say it loud enough to catch the ear OF
every member of the senate.

THE STONE
Denver Getting Stone from the Iron
Mountain Quarries.

Contractor NJ. q. Chapman, of Mime
apolis, who is building Union Pacific
shops at Denver, will use Wyoming stone,
and from a quarry near cheyenne. He
yesterday closed with John Peterson, of
this city, for the immediate delivery OF
fifty cars of cut stone from the Iron
Mountain Lodges on the Cheyenne &
Northern.
Geologist Ricketts,, who returned from
the west Sunday. says the average output
of the Rawlins quarry for the Beatrice,
Neb. court house is six cars a day, and
that tie quality of the stone is of the
very best.
As Wyoming has superior sandstone.
granite and marble, the Stone State would
be a pet name, at once euphonic and APP
propriate. Certain it is that one of the
chief products of Wyoming is bound tc
be building stone.

Mr.. EAST, OF CHEYENNE
A Local Contractor will Build
Union Pacific Shops.
The Award was Announced from
Omaha Yesterday.
Price about $50, 900, and that
Exclusive of Equipment.

Everyone should rejoice over the fact
that a home man will build this years
edition of Cheyenne shops. George
East, who has erected many notable struc-
lures here and who has been a prominent
and useful citizen for years, has been
awarded the contract. Engineer Butler
received a telegram to that effect yester-
day, and the information came about the
same time from other sources.
here is a list OF the brick and stone
buildings to be put up by Mr.. East, with
the dimensions
Round house, ten stalls.
Oil house, 20x28.
Store house. 48xl78.
Office building. two stories. 40x40.
Paint shop. l5Oxl9l.
Car erecting shop, two stories. 95x2T5.
Wood working shop, soxz00.
Boiler and engine room annex and
chimney.
The exact contract price cannot be
learned, but a reporter gets it from the
inside that Mr.. East will receive in the
neighborhood of $4,000 for the work.
The ultimate figures will probably be
larger, and this is exclusive of equip
ment.
In this work Mr.. East will doubtless
give preference to local mechanics and ma.
tive material. Iron Mountain stone will
likely be used. and if possible orange
ments will be made for placing Cheyenne
brick in the walls.
There will be no delay in getting to
work, and a force of 200 to 300 men will
be on the contract in a few weeks. 1t is
expected to have all the buildings en-
closed before the holidays.
Mr.. East is to be congratulated on Sc
curing this big contract. ~SinRle-handed
he entered the field against older men
and firms, and came out with flying COL
ors.
The LEADER is enabled to say on au-
tbority that there has been appropriated
for expenditure On Cheyenne shops and
Yards this season 1850. 900. By the time
machinery is purchased the city will have
drawn on the treasury of the great corpo
ration for not a penny less than 81. 0O0.-
DOC, and all within the current year. An
equal amount will be required TOR the
1891 buildings and improvements con
templated, and officials OF high rank have
'aid that this tow would absorb IS, OO0.-
900 Of Union Pacific money within the
next FIVE years.

A Monument to Father John.

A monument is to be erected IN the
Catholic cemetery to the memory of
Father John Hayes, the good priest who
ministered to the faithful when the old
church could easily contain the flock.
Father John was an admirable mar dear
" beloved by all.
The plan is to have a large marble shaft
to cost 81, 900 to 5000 on the plot re-
served for the burial of priests and a
separate handsome stone over the grave
of Father Hayes.
These gentlemen form the monument

A very important movement has been
projected by the Bar association. but the
attorneys are keeping quiet about it. The
scheme is an effort to slough off that great
mass of stupidity found in deeds, mort
cages, etc, such as all the right, title,
interest and claim of, in and to John
Smith to certain" etc, and get down to
Nineteenth century solid business sense.
An idea of the Importance of the work
will be had by considering that the county
records are now encountered by a car load
of useless paper covered by verbiage.
The paper cannot even be sent to the
mill to be ground over, as the records
are of Importance, and a vast amount Of
room is necessary to store them. They
cannot be dumped into a vault, for they
are necessary to consult daily, and the
number Of racks necessary to contain
them suggests that owing to the number
of financial operations nowadays, and the
probability that they will continue to
grow, the entire court house will be
necessary to hold them before the end Of
another half century. This verbiage is
also an expensive relic of the olden time,
as an army of transcribers is necessary
to keep the records in shape. 1t is also
necessary to retranscribe them once In a
century, unless better paper and indel-
ible ink be used. A considerable number
of copyists have been at work for months
rewriting the records made previous to
A. D. 1900. When it is understood that
the records of several years after the
borough of Pittsburg was incorporated
were contained in q single book and that
at present the record of a sin gle days
transfers and mortgages might fill a vol
ume, the Importance of brevity will be
understood at a glance.-Pittaburg Dis

A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mrs. Charles M. smith Passes Peace
fully Away.

The people of cheyenne were startled
yesterday by the report of the death of
Mrs. Chas. NJ. Smith. Comparatively
few people were aware of her illness and
none appreciated its dangerous character.
The news OF her death was therefore a
positive shock to everyone WHO knew. and
to the hundreds who loved her it came
like n thunderclap.
While Mrs. Smith has not been in 10
bust health for several years, she has not
been an invalid by any means. The i'm
mediate aus of her death was probably
peritonitis and her taking off was as
peaceful az the sinking OF a tired child to
rest.
Mrs. Smith was born in Russell, Mass,
June 5, 1860. She was one of a family
Of eight children, her maiden name be-
ing Laura p. Park. Seven years ago she
was married to Charles M. Smith. brother
of Mrs. +. E. Warren. and one of the
officers of the Warren Mercantile con-.
panY. During their residence in this city
Mrs Smith had made for herself a host
of friends. Charming in manner
and person, well read and sprightly in
disposition, a superb hostess and
entertainer she won her way into the af-
fections of all her acquaintance. Her
disposition was at all times aTable and
unaffected. There was a charm in her
manner and a warmth in her greeting
which gave outward evidence of her
kindly disposition aud personifcation to
the poets lines:
None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise.
Besides her bereaved husband, Mrs.
Smith leaves an adopted son six years
old, the child of a dead brother, and a
sister, Mrs. G. R. Palmer, who is almost
heartbroken over the sad event.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral. The body has been en-
balmed, and kilograms sent east to the
relatives and Governor and Mrs. Warren,
who are now in Massachusetts,. Pend
ing information from them. the date of
the funeral will not be definitely fixed.

The press has commented upon the
shipment to California of eaatern pota-
toes. These vegetables are very inferior
to those grown here, for among our other
excellent productions the California po-
tato is peculiarly inc 1t is mealy, and
when grown to a large size is not cavern
Gus in the middle, as is tho case with
nearly alllarge Eastern specimens. When
baked it does not fall" at once and get
sad, but stands up as light as a cream
puff for a long time. The reason for the
present importation of inferior potatoes
is that the rains last fall prevented the
digging of the home crop In sufficient
quantities to supply the market, and the
same reason prevented the planting,
which usually gives us new potatoes in
abundance in February. Latest advices
from the undug potato fields of 1889 are
thEt the potatoes left in tho ground are
sprUuting and springing up, and the
farmers are busy c%ultiyating this self
planted crop. California will, before
many years, be a large exporter of pota-
toes. in competition with tile Bermudas,

THE CAPITOLs on.


Laramie's crack ball team reached
Cheyenne Sunday morning aud was duly
trounced by the Capitols in the afternoon.
A number of citizens from over the hill
accompanied the visitors. The Laramie
club presents a fine appearance, but is
rather outclassed by the home team.
They are a gentlemanlv lot OF fellows and
play decent ball. retaining from roars
and attending strictly to the business in
hand. The Laramie team could be
strengthened at several points. 1t in
cludes several good players, but three or
four pretty bad ones. Two Of their best
men are Williams aud Watts. of last
year, Capitols.
A very large crowd witnessed the con-
test and grew quite enthusiastic at times.
Applause was given any good play and
was particularly uproarous when the first
Laramie runner crossed the plate.
The games features were Mann's eff
fectlve pitching. the capture of two high
flies in deep right by Corey, of the Capt.
tolls, the throwing OF Watts, of Laramie,
to second and the fielding of a hot liner
by Williams, of Laramie. The four
errors charged the Capitols were made By
two men and were really almost excusable,
but still costly.
Morley made three runs and Croft and
Lynott two each. Mr.. Stables umpir.
ing was entirely satisfactory to both the
players and the audience.
