The first annual inspection of the Chey-
enne Guards, Co. B, W. N. G.. wa had
at the armory last evening and was quite
an event. The company was drilled for
an hour, their arms, uniforms and equip
ments were inspected by the officers.
Everything was found in first class shape.
Regulations require an inspection every
year and a report to the governor on the
same. But few members were absent
last night. With cold weather comes a
revival of interest in the company and all
calls will be answered promptly and pretty
unanimously,

TO CARELESSNESS.
Placing the Blame for Olaf John
sons Death.
Strong and Explicit Finding of the
Coroner's Jury.
Further Testimony Heard at the
Inquest Yesterday.


John K. johnson, a car repairer who
was engaged on the job with Olaf John
sou when the latter met his death Thurs
day, was the first witness before the coro-
ner's jury yesterday morning. He re-
counted the details of Yardmaster Blerd's
visit TO the gang and also said that later
Hart, the assistant yardmaster, assured
them positively that the caboose would
not be touched.
Several persons remarked Thursday
the rather remarkable industry of this
crew. johnson SAID he was in a hurry
because a train he would be required to
inspect was about due. 1t was too cold to
be standing around, and again, the ca
boose was directly in front of the depot
and the boys did not want to appear to
be idling in sight Of the officials. They
waited a few minutes, be says, to see it
the freight cars were to be moved and
johnson felt sure they were out of harms
way.
According to johnson the protective
blue flag is rarely displayed and he says
traInmen paw no attention to the banner
when it is hoated. Generally a man has
been detailed to keep watch when there
were indications of imminent danger.
This is never done upon the order of any
foreman. but generally by some member
of the gang volunteering to act as watch
man. Such volunteer generally offers his
services upon the request or suggestion Of
some other member of the gang"
johnson is at present detached. When
he saw Olaf johnson killed and realized
his OWE peril he quit at once.
James Barry c~orroborated Johnson's
statement.
THE ENGINEER.
Lewis Shannon was driving the switch
engine which pushed the train on the re-
pairers. He SIMPLY obeyed the signals
given him and knew nothing of the acct
dent till some time after Johnson's
death.

l thought a few words from our
County might be of interest. Our
Alliance, the Granite Falls, No. 534,
the first organized in the county, has
now about seventy energetic men,
hers, alive to their own interests.
We have held two meetings since the
state meeting. which were interesting
and enthusiastic, at which we added
2new members to our alliance. The
Lisbon Alliance, organized a few
days before the state meeting, now
contains nearly fifty members. There
are four other alliances in the coun-
ty, all in flourishirg condition, and
l am now making arrangements to
hold a meeting in every town of the
county to try to organize an al
lance in each Immediately after
seeding. We have also called a
meeting of the alliances of the coun-
ty alliance on May %, and we are
promised Miss Eva Mcdonald and
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly as speakers,
and shall spare no effort to make it
the largest meeting ever held in the
County. The GREAT WEST is very
popular among our farmers, the

RESOLVED, That the u. S. Senate
is not in accord with government
by the people, and an unnecessary
and dangerous attachment to our
Nationa! Goyernment-Mound City
Alliance resolution.
S. n. Bartlett said:
The Senate of the United States is
an out-growth OF the old Hamilton
doctrine. His idea was that a gov
eminent could not be raaintained
that did not take to itself the full es-
sence and Zaeaning of the house OF
Lords Of England, which was to him
perfection itself. While England is in
throes and commissions of state to
cast off that incubus, that check to
healthy legislation 1.-THE house OF
Lords) let us emulate them and cast
off our corrupt and useless Senate
Tor house OF Lords). Our tax pay
ers and soldiers cannot forget the
acts of the Senate when our nation
was in the commissions of war, in
mutilating and discrediting Jour
money, the only money that was OBJ
tainable to carry on the Wharf.-The
greenbacks. They cannot forget that
one dollar of themoney that paid the
bond holders interest would buy in
July, 1864, two dollars and eighty
five cents of the money that paid
the soldiers-bought the munitions
OF war and carried the war to sue
cessful termination-the greenbacks.
The Senate cannot plead ignorance
because they knew, and were told,
then and there, what effects that ex-
} ception on the back OF our currency
i would have, viz to make two kinds
of money, and initiating the price.
Il Had the Senate sent their emissar-
les into the field and spiked every
cannon, it would not have confused
or discouraged the soldiers more than
did this act of discrediting our cur.
rency, the only money we had to car
ry on the war.
Ladies and gentlemen, was this a
freak of legislation, or was it trea
son?
. The house Bill that the Senate mu
, tilated was full legal tender green
backs.
