AT ST. MARY'S.
Large Attendance and Bcautllul
Easter Services.

Judging from the immense crowds at
all the churches in St. Mary's Cathedral
on Sunday the Catholic congregation p
certainly leading the procession both in
point OF numbers and church attendance.
At both the morning masses and yespers
in the evening even standing room was at
premium. 1t is pretty plain that if the
influx of population in the near future
comes anyway near expectations the
Catholic friends will have to either en-
large their present place Of worship or
erect a bran new one.
The decorations of the sacred edifae on
the celebration of Easter, have always
been OF the most elaborate description.
On last Sunday the wealth of beautiful
flowers and plants which surrounded the
affairs and the artistic taste of their ar
rangement, eclipses anything of the kind
yet seen here. On each side of the main
altar rose, tier upon tier, q regular bank
of dollhouse fowers-geraniums, mig.
nonette aud roses. From the middle of
these rose tall white lilies supplied from
the Glatcke conservatory. The taberna-
Gle was surrounded by a beautiful fringe OF
smilax. The effect ~prodaced by the many
lights shining over all, was lovely 10 the
extreme.
The at early mass WAS rendered
by the children's choir and was the sub
iect of the most enthusiastic praise from
all who heard it. The fresh young voices
of the girls lent a new charm to the al.
ways elaborate aud beautiful church
music, aud certainly the perfect training
of which they gave evidence ref cts very
great credit on the good sisters of the
academy. At second mass Millard's mass
was sung by the regular choir.
The Easter collection. Father Nugent
says, was the largest in the history of the
church here. The amount was over
1850.

HOW DID HE DIEf
The Vsterious Find of IA shepherd IN
Carbon County.

A sheep herder reported last week the
finding of the remains of a man about
twenty miles from Rawlins. The coroner
visited the scene and reported that the
man had evidently been dead at least a
year, as all the flesh had been eaten from
the bones by coyotes and badgers, the lat
ter having sunk a hole near by. The man
was evidently under medium size and had
on a navy blue flannel suit, a silver watch,
80 calibre pistol, two gold rings, on one
of which was engraved several emblems
OF some secret order, perhaps Knights of
Honor. In his pocket we're W five dol
lar gold pieces, one twenty-five cent silver
piece, two dimes and FIVE nickels, several
Oakland and San Francisco, Gala, bust
ness cards, also an engraved address card
on which was Pedro Nepoles, Napa
City" There were no letters or other
writing to indicate what his name was, or
from whence he came. A white silk
handkerchief was fastened in a sage
brush a few feet from where the body lay.
1t is a very mysterious case.

A Meeting of the Sheep Growers Held
at KawIins.

A meeting of the Rocky Mountain
Wool Growers Association was held at
Rawlins last week. According to the
Journal the reports OF the secretary shows
the sheep business to be in a prosperous
condition. The losses the past winter,
although large in some instances. are not
on the whole much over the average.
The wool men are hopeful OF an exceed
indy good season this year. The wool
clip they claim will be very large. and OF
an exceptionally fine quality. while prices
are expected to reach a higher mark than
was touched last year.
There was considerable discussion of
matters of importance to sheep men. aud
many suggestions were offered whereby
the sheep men might be benefited.
What we need most" said Mr.. Miller,
is a closer organization of the wool
growers of the county and territory"
The ~woolgrowers have done consider
able for Rawlins, and the present season
will prove of great benefit to the city. The
association. approaching the Importance
of establishing a home market for their
wool. voted 1875 to the Wool Storage
company, for the purpose of assisting in
advertising the wool warehouse In the
city with a view to getting a larger at
tendance Of buyers III the field.
The great advantage of selling in the
home market was well illustrated in the
experience of the wool men last year.
Those who sold in the home market
cleared from FIVE to seven cents a pound
moro than those who shipped to eastern
commission houses.

a leading Detroit business man has
given his wife diamonds in eardrops.
rings and bracelet amounting to between
$4,000 and $4,000. The lady occasionally
becomes distrustful of her ability to take
care of them and turns them over to her
husbands keeping.
he had been carrying them in his vest
pocket for three or four days, when one
Sunday he wanted his horse in n hurry,
and in the absence of his man went out
to the barn to hitch it up himself. He
pulled off his coat and in the effort of
putting on the horses collar must some
how have turned out the contents of his
vest pocket.
Ataany rate, that night. on retiring, he
b~ethought him of the diamonds, and loI
they were missing. He at once tele-
phoned police headquarters and put forth
every effort to find them. A couple of
days passed, and no returns coming in,
it occurred to him that he might posi-
bly, have lost them in the barn. A hunt

disclosed the white envelope in which
the stones had been folded. II was all
cut to pieces, showing that it had been

a three hours search every piece of the
jewelry was found, and not one bit in
jured. The soft straw had protected
even the gold from 10 much as a scratch.

never permitted to carry his wife's jewels
again.-Detroit News.
