STILL HARD AT WORK.
The improvements IN the ODera House
Block Nearing Completion.

The work of laying the fine stone side
walk about the opera house block will be
begun today. The walk will JOIN that In
front of the foundation for the Walker
building and will therefore be continuous
to the alley on Capitol avenue. This is
an improvement which will be very much
appreciated as that quarter is now pretty
well blockaded with heaps of building ma
terial.
Work on the opera house block is pro-
crossing rapidly. Most, if not all, OF the
stores will be occupied by the middle of
the month. The Offices in the two upper
floors will not be ready for occupancy be-
fore January |, and probably not until
the 18th of the month. 1t will make a
verv desirable office building.
Very little is liable to be done with the
opera house interior until the latter end
of this month. Senator Carey is now in
Philadelphia in consultation with his
brother regarding the matter. The i'm.
provements will certainly be carried out
on the scale first contemplated and per
haps even on a greater scale. The build
ing will be renovated throughout, frescoed,
the woodwork repainted in cheerful
c%olors, the seats e.arranRed and improved
and a second gallery added. A different
and much more effective system of light
ing will also be adopted. The stage will
probably be increased in size and the
boxes so changed aud modified that while
adding very much to the beauty of the
interior they will not interfere at all with
the view of the stage from any part OF the
house. There Is little doubt hat when
the improved opera house is again thrown
open to the public it will be so changed
and improved that none Of the patrons
will recognize it as the old time structure.

Stood on the Inspertor.

News has just reached here that a
party OF the johnson county r%ustlers
recently carried things on with a high
hand. A gang oftwenty ofthem rounded
up a bunch of cattle and drove them to
the Burlington grade to sell them for
beef to the railroad contractors. A stock
inspector endeavored to examine the
brands and thus pass upon the ownership
of the cattle, but he was held at bay by
the firearms in the hands of the r%ustlers.
When he put in an appearance they at
once opened FIRE on him and ploughed up
the dust all around him with their bullets.
They wouldn't aver let him approach the
herd and kept him at distance no
only until the transfer of the stock wa,
made but until all the cattle were killed

aid was this day convicted in the district
court of criminal libel.
For two'years past the general Offices OF
the Union Pacific Railway company have
been flooded with anonymous communi-
cations accusing the leading railway Off
Gals and many prominent citizens of the
town Of conspiring against the company
and of robbing them OF their property.
As q result the town has been overrun
with detectives sent here for the purpose
of hunting down the alleged c~rookedness.
As no evidence could be uncovered to
prove the charges made, attention was
turned in the direction of the writers of
the letters and as a result information for
criminal libel.was filed against John Nc
Donald and Peter Appel. Appel turned
states evidence with the above result. No
attempt was made by the defense to prove
any of the allegations made in the letters
as a justification of the ibelous action.
County Attorney K. K. Enterline,
assisted by Messrs. Clark and Beard Of
Evanston. conducted the prosecution
with skill and ability. AS a result of this
conviction a bad gang, which for a long
time has been a curse to this city, il
broken up.
John Mcdonald is an ex.justice of the
peace of this county and was a member Of
the last state Republican convention.

GILLETTE COAL BEING SHIPPED
What Promises TO be a Great Industry
Is Being Opened Up.

A party Of men are at work opening a
coal mine for Fitzpatrick Bros. & Collins.
A car load OF the coal was shipped to
Deadwood this week as an experiment
aud more will be sent to Nebraska as
soon as it can be mined. This mIne is
about two miles west of town. The vein
is about fifteen feet thick. 1t will require
only about a half a mile OF railroad track
to connect the mine with the main line.
As the coal is easily mined the cost on the
cars here will be very low.
AS everybody knows, the coal in this
vicinity is a Ignite. Its two faults are
that it Stacks and carries considerable ash.
II mined and shipped during the cold
weather it does not slack. Consequently
it is a splendid coal, especially for cook
stoves and general domestic purposes.
The Newcastle mines are not able to
supply the demands. This coal is of an
entirely different class aud will not inter
fere with the market for the Newcastle
coal.

Travel In the Tropics.

Tropical travel owes its chief terrors
to the multitude of wild animals ever
on the alert to take human life, but
there are other dangers only less dread
full. One of the recent African ex-
plorers relates the following incident:
His hammock had been slung between
two trees, the bush cleared away for a
short distance around and the traveller
was taking some much-needed rest. 81
must have slept for three hours" said
the explorer, ''when l suddenly awoke,
as one sometimes does, in possession of
every sense. felt there was danger
around, and, although l could see only
glimmer of light, made out what
thought was a leopard approaching the
hammock. l had only revolver al
hand-not a good weapon against a
leopard, but better than nothing. TIC
take sight was impossible, so / fired,
trusting to luck. There was terrible
yell, and knew that my assailant was
a human being, not a leopard. The
camp was by this time aroused, and a
short search revealed one of the car,
riers with his leg crippled. He had
been crawling on all-fours to make a
robbery. Most explorers would have
hanged the rascal; but left him at the
next village, and never saw him again
But this little incident put stop to all
future robbery in my troop. COLDER

BILE, Death has lost its terror since
leave you in her care"
ALI that day and throughout the next,
Mrs. Scott-Payne watched that feeble
spark of life with unremitEng teDder-
ness, and when, early on Easter morn
ing, 1t went finally out, with hands as
gentle and reverent as u sisters she
composed the tired body to
Lille with feet toward the dawn
Till there breaks the last and brightest Easter
morn"
Then taking her boy-really hers now
into her loving, yearning arms, she
hushed his sobs with her kisses, and
whispered over and over the blessed
promises which were being said and
sung in the little church from which
they were both that day absent fear
that just at first, in the terrible sharp.
poor Anthony paid but small heed to
any of them, but by and by some of
their peace and comfort stole into the
sore young heart, and underlying the
greater truths, which he could grasp
but dimly, was the assurance that
where Johnny had gone his mother had
followed, and lively hope that, wher-
ever Johnnys mother might go in the
future, he would always be with her.
1t is generally child's way-often,
alasl the way of those who are no long
er children--to take comfort in the less,
rather than the greater, but to the
credit of this particular child's belief it
must be said that, in the years which
have gone by since that Easter morn
ing, his loving faith in his adopted
mother has never in the slightest de-
gree been violated. Those who were
the earliest friends of whom l have told
you are still devotedly his friends, and
are given to stoutly asserting that be-
fore many years Anthony Kramer will
literally reward all those who have be-
friended him; but when Mrs. Scott
Payne overhears any such predictions,
she only says: "Love has been its own
reward to mel want no other. Hes

What's your name, by the way?"
Anthony, sir. Oh, it was so grandP'
Poor little Anthony, shivering with
nervous delight over the mere recollec-
1ion, found his vocabulary very insult
6eient just then; but this new and
wonderful benefactor seemed entirely
satisfied, and, looking down on him,
said:
"And what did you like best?'
The moment he had said it the tenor
saw absurdity in the question, but the
boys face kindled with appreciation as
he answered, promptly;
"oh, liked it best where you sang
shat" and then, not using the words,
but simply the melody, he sang with
utter unconsciousness of effect couple
of bars from one of the songs which had
thrilled the music hall through and
through the Saturday night before.

his case the listening was of necessity
somewhat interrupted, the crumbs
which he did manage to pick up were
more to him perhaps than the full ban
quet to many of those inside He was
only small boy and somewhat shah
by one, but the heart of a musician was
beating under his threadbare little coat,
and the mere suggestion of the harmony
which was flooding those halls within
made his pulses thrill so rapturously
that he lost even his sense of caution,
and had almost flattened his ear against
the door, when it was half opened by a
big man who paused for moment be-
side him. This man was in reality big
in more senses of the word than one,
since he was the soloist of the evening,
and the mere expectation of listening
TO his wonderful voice was pleasantly
exciting the vast audience within; but,
in spite of his size, and, still more, de-
spite the fact that he was already lit
tie late, the furtive rapture in Antho-
py's small face arrested him, and, the
Acknowledging of the artist together
with the sensibilities of the Eindliest
heart which ever beat in artists breast
being alike aroused, he determined to
investigate.
