A Protestant minister has suggested
that all churches observe the fast OF Lent,
and that each individual who practised
self denial should estimate the money
value of such a~bstention, and contribute
the amount to charity. The idea is a
good one, and If strictly carried out, it
would add immensely to the relief of
human suffering. In this connection it
may be considered how human suffering
is best relieved. One thing is certain,
that whatever may be done, pains and
aches will exist. They are the heritage
of the human family. But one fact is
well known, that for the prompt and per
manent cure of rheumatism, lumbago,
neuralgia, %sciatica. sprains, bruises, FROST

OF The World, which will be produced
at the opera house on Friday evening, the
Baltimore Herald says: This play is in
disputably one Of the most remarkable eff
forts at realism ever put upon the stage.
The amount of ingenuity shown in the
construction OF its scenes and the me.
chanical skill required to carry out the
conception, are IN themselves enough to
provoke the admiration of theater goers;
but in addition to this the drama itself is
a thrilling one. The sinking of the ship
at sea and the great raft scene. on the
ocean are vivid illustrations of the posi-
bilities of stage carpeDterv.
On Saturday evening a splendid min
strel performance will be given by Wilson
& Pringle's co'ored minstrels. OF this
company the Little Rock Gazette says:
The great Georgia Mlns:rels drew a very
large house at Hides last night. The
down stairs was well filed and the first
and second galleries we're packed. The
performance was a very satisfactory one
and the applause and laughter were al
most incessant. The Jokes were
fresh, the singing good and the dancing
first class Altogether it was one OF the
best minstrel shows given this season.

The postmaster of Philadelphia has
invented a device whereby he expects to
be able to trace missent and delayed
mail matter. 1t consists of a small
stamp to be worn on the thumb of a
sorter. 1t is an automatic mixer, and
every time a letter passes through his
hands for sorting the mere act of hand
ling it will put on it a postmark. If
each clerk has a number that number
will go with the stamp, and a delayed or
missent letter will be traceable thereby
direct to the actual blunderer. In his
w Office Mr. Field is getting his patent
into use, and if it works as expected it is
probable the whole service will adopt it.
While it will be somewhat of a nuisance
in some respects, it will be welcome to
efficient s~orters, as it will protect limo
cent men from being credited with the
blunders Of others.-Interview in st.

TAPPING THE PLATTE.
Some Nebraskans Who Propose to
Run u Big Ditch From Wyoming.


John B. Anderson of Julesburg was
the spokesman for a small party OF Ne
braska gentlemen who visited Cheyenne
Yesterday for the purpose of fling ar
ucles of incorporation for the Laramie
and Scots Bluff I~rriGatng and Water
Power company. This company is or
ganized for the purpose of taking water
out of the North Platte river in lara
ME county, Wyoming and conveying 1t by
means Of a canal 200 feet wide as far east
as Keith county, Nebraska, a distance of
about $50 miles. This canal runs for
only about seven miles in Wyoming and
would probably irriRate only 1000 acres
in this state although it would prove of
marvellous advantage to portions
of Western Nebraska provided
sufficient water could be secured. This
may possibly interfere somewhat with the
plan for since the admission of Wyoming
water rights have been taken out farther
up the stream in this state a~ggregating in
quantity about Zoo cubic feet per second.

FoRT RUSSELL, Wyo.. Feb. 6.-Ex-
tract from proceedings Of a committee OF
non commissioned officers which met at
this post IN accordance with par. 1876
A. r.
The committee had no further remarks
or suggestions to make concerning the
management and affairs of the post can

The business, when first organized as a

Capt. Van Horns business capacity,
when the regiment took station at this
post in July, 1886, and since that date,
under his able and Just administration OF
the affairs OF this organization, the 18th
infantry has earned the reputation all over

CHICAGO, Feb. 20. 1904. j. Par
shall, Esq, Cheyenne, WyO.-DEAR SIR:
In answer to your letter of Feb. l6, we
will say that il would be well for your
committee hat has this matter in hand to
draft such guarantee as they require and
send it to US to look over. II it is in any
way reasonable we will accept it without
any hesitation. l think we will agree on
that all right. AS for reducing the bonus,
that we could not do very well. We
think 1t little enough as it is, as the ca
pacity of thu building won't be reduced
any. Besides we all know that building
usually costs more than one figures, as
there will certainly be a great many little
things we don't think of now that will
swell the cost of it. The original promo
sition was 1921, 600, but that time we fig
ured on selling $40, 900 worth OF lots. We
would like to have this matter
settled as soon as possible so
that our architect eau work
out the plans. We mean business and
are not experimenting. l have got an
old established Chicago brewery to 20
into this with US after some hard work on
my part. as he had another city in view
which he preferred. As soon az our
arrangements with your committee are
satisfactorily made to both sides, we will
go ahead with plans and incorporate our
company with a capital stock of 800, 600,
under the name OF Chicas o Brewing Co.,
Of Cheyenne and if that sum don't reach
We have more to put in. Hoping to hear
from you soeD, | am, yours truly,

BREWERY BUSINESS.
1t Was Considered at a Public Meet,
ing Last Night.
A Letter Read from One of the
Chicago Syndicate,
But the General Sentiment was Ad-
verse to the Proposition.

The mass meeting called by the Board
of Trade last night knocked the brewery
project higher than a kite. The attend
ance was very lair but most of those pres.
ent wcT- opposed to the brewery PROPOSE
ton as presented. j. G. Baird called the
meeting to order and stated its object.
The proposition submitted was from
Messrs. Gerlinger and Schiller OF Chicago.
They were to build a brewery costing
SlOO,O 900, having a capacity of 10000
kegs of beer per annum, using 10000
bushels of barley per annum. The brew
cry was to be a modern one throughout
and to give employment to about thirty
men. Messrs. Gerlinger and Schiller
asked for a bonus of SI2, 900 to be paid as
the building progressed, the last
of 5000 to be made when the brewery
was in PeEation-In-rctur they agreed
to give any bond in reason to run the
brewery for two years.
The discussion at first was not very
brisk but afterward grew warmer. Max
Idlemau was asked if he thought a brew
cry would pay and replied that he thought
1t would. He also thought the citizens
would soon recover tie price of the bonus
by the benefit to the city from having
manufactures started here.
Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Slack were afraid
that a brewery trust might be formed and
then the proprietors OF the brewery
would sell ont and that the best thing to
do would be to make it part of the bond
hal they should not sell out to a brewery
trust or to IN English syndicate within
five years.
Judge O'Connor and Mr.. Menges
were IN favor OF the scheme and were
willing to put up to help it along.
On motion of Mr.. Slack the question
was laid over for two weeks to give the
committee time to send a bond to Chi
cago and see if the promoters of the
brewery would agree to the bond the
citizens wanted signed, then to have
another meeting and definitely decide
what to do. The motion was carried and
the chairman said he would tell the com
mittee of the Board of Trade having the
matter in charge of the decision OF the
meeting.
MIR. Kent, chairman of the committee.
told the chairman the committee begged
to be excused as they had worked hard
on the scheme and thought it would now
follow the fate OF some other projects
they bad tried to put through. Mr..
Kent thought it out of the question to
ask men who are putting up $50, 900 to
the city's $4,000 to give a bond to run
the brewery for FIVE years.
Mr.. Parshall said he had worked hard
on the scheme and thought it was asking
too much of capitalists to bind them
selves for five years. When they had
s90,0 0 invested it was supposable that
they would run ahead as long as it paid
He thought that it would be well to bind
them for two years, but that was enough
to ask. MIR. Kabis did not like the
scheme, he thought it was a fake" He
did not think the men meant business,
but thought they wanted to work real
estate more than to run q brewery. He
asked the secretary to read the following
letter stating that after reading it he was
agaiCst the brewery.
