Returning confidence as indicative of
returning good times was manifested yes
terday By the purchase of the opera house
block, which with the purchase price and
money spent in improvements will repre-.
sent an Investment by j. NJ. Carey & Bro.
OF $4,000. More, perhaps, than any
thing else CHEYENNE has needed some
such manifestation OF confidence in the
future of the town, which indeed such ex-
hibltiOns tend to assure.
There has not been an inordlnate
amount OF enterprise displayed in Chey-
enne lately. 1t is true there has beer an
unusual amount of building one in Chev-
enne this spring, more than for any sea
son during several years, hut with the ex-
ceptIons of the high school bulldog and
the viaduct. it has all been in the line of
small and comparatively small private
residences. Nearly all of these have been
built by the people who intended to live
in them. The large property owners,
those who own choice business and resi-
dence lots, and who will he enormously
benefited by the growth of the town, have
done little or nothing. As a
rule they have manifested no pub.
lie spirit and while perfectly will
ing to profit by the enterprise of
poorer people have cautiously throttlod
their own purse strings and given little
indication that they were living; Added
to this was the fact that several enter
prises were projected but for one reason
or another never materialized. These
circumstances, combined with the genera
tightness Of money, brought about a con-
ditlon in this community which boded no
good for the future. Ii is for these rea-
sons that we regard the purchase of the
opera house and its proposed rehabilita-
ton as the most timely stroke of business
sh.ewdness exhibited in Cheyenne this
year. We hone it is but the precursor of
other enterprises. This is the time of all
Others when those most largely interested
in the growth of Cheyenne should get
their heads together. The complete
renovation of the opera house is a good
starting point. 1t should give vitality t.
the project Of erecting a new and massive
Masonic temple, As a first class 'heatei
advertises a town far and wide so does
first class hotel. Cheyenne should n,
longer be content with anything else
The local and transient patronage de
mauds it and there will be an aching vol,
without it.

A city female tramp of giant stature
is annoying some of our western Maine
towns. She comes to the farmhouses,
generally after dark, and begs to be al
lowed to stay all night. Her request is
generally granted, though unwillingly,
for her person is very repulsive. She
always carries several large bundles COW
cred with a waterproof. In one of them
are a clean dress and whole shoes which
she saves to put on in Boston. They are
too good for tramping in Maine.
To all appearance she hasn't a relative
in the world, and prefers this rowing life
to any kind of labor, for she is frequent
ly offered a chance to do homework at
farmhouses, but always declines. Once
she did work for a day or two, but de-
clared she'd rather walk and beg. She
expects to go to the poorhouse, but not
until she can no longer travel. 1t is said
that to lear her talk without looking at
her one would imagine her a lady, so
correct is her language.-Lewiston Jour

Ancaus, king of the Leleges in Samos
ian island in the Grecian archipelago(,
planted a vineyard; and so heavily did
he Cypress his slaves that one of them,
it is said, prophesied to him that he
would never live to taste the wine there
of. When the wine was made he sent
for his slave and said, "What do you
think of your prophecy now?" The slave
made answer, There's many a slip
'twixt the cup and the lip" The words
were scarcely uttered when Ancseus WIS
informed that wild boar had broken
into his vineyard and was laying it
waste. Anceus, setting down the cup
untasted, hastened to attack and drive
out the boar, but he was killed in the
nncounter.=Detroit Free Press.

hardships under which the producers of

The frequently quoted II do not pin

sentiment to feudal times, when the par
tisans Of a leader used to wear his badge
pinned upon their sleeves. Sometimes
these badges were changed for specific
purposes, and persons learned to doubt,
hence the phrase, You wear the badge,
but do moi intend to pin my faith on
your sleeve"

An Earthquake shock at Sea.

New YORK, July 20. Captain Daxes
of the ship Glcnfinias, of Liverpool, which
arrived here today, 1913 days from Cal
cutta, reported hat at 5 o'clock on the
afternoon of April :, when between 600
and 700 miles west of the coast OF Java,
he felt the shock of an earthquake. The
shock lasted about five minutes. During
that time it seemed as if the ship had hit
a rock or was scraping over a coral reef.
The ship shivered and her masts trem-
bled. There was a cOmmOtiOn on deck,
and almost a paEic among the crew. A
hasty examination of the ship showed
that no damage had been lone and quiet
ed the fears of the crew, who at first
feared that the ship had struck a rock.
The shock was followed by a tremendous
sea. For three days before the shock the
weather had been very close and sultry
and almost dead calm. The air was hazy
aud full of smoke. The same kind of
weather prevailed for three days after the
shock. All the time there was a heavy
ground swell on. 90 the morning of
April IL. about 10 o'clock, Il second
shock was felt. The second shock was
not so severe as the first. nor was il ac-
companied by the high sea. He has
made twenty-one voyages on the Indian
ocean, and has never before experienced
an earthquake shock. Such shocks are
quite common IN the Pacific ocean off the
Chilean coast.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-The coun-

keystone bank held another meeting this
afternoon. The first witness was Samuel
r. Huey. counsel for the estate of John

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July 2O.-About
one hundred miles southwest OF this city
on the outskirts of the thick pine forests
of Snake river, lies the hamlet Of Pine
City. Though dignifed by the name OF
city, it numbers but a few hundred souls.
1t is one Of the Indigenous farming
communities 50 common to Minnesota
and the Dakotas where the people never
set foot outside of the circle of the town
from one year to another.
Farther to the south about fifty miles
flows the Snake river. This takes its
name. as might be inferred, not because
Its banks abound in reptiles. but on account
OF Its excessively winding course, flowing
one momen in a straight line aud in
another moment cutting q corner at the
sharp angle OF co. or 90. There are few
settlers along its thickly wooded banks
and no settlement nearer than Pine City.
In fact so sparsely Inhabited is this
region that the names OF the few who
have staked their claims therein are
scarcely known. How people can be
happy in this wild region, much less
subsist, is a mystery. 1t is really.a wonder
mat some 10 not become insane.
What was the horror of the people OF
Pine City on Wednesday, when a fishing
party of hat village returned from the
woods. bringing with them a wild woman
and her l6-year-old daughter. The daugh-
ter tells a story of terrible suffering and
privatious. She says that the husband
and father of the family was eaten by
wolves while in an intoxicated condition
last March. Since that time they nave
had no food in their humble cabin. The
younger children died of starvation and
we're cooked and eaten by the mother and
eldest daughter. The mothers mind
finally gave way and she is now a ravinP
maniac.
w. F. Glason, a merchant OF Pine
City, provided the mother and daughter
with clothing and took them to his house
and gave them shelter and food. Yes
terday afternoon they were taken to the
county jail, where they will be provided
tor pending an investigation, as it is
thought in all probability one or more of
the children were murdered by the de-
mented mother. The affair has thrown
the village into a state of intense excite
ment, and it has been proposed to send
an expedition to the home of the family
to investigate more fully the horrible
story. The name of the woman could not
be learned from her, as her rawlings were
not Ineligible. From the daughter it
was learned that her name was Peterson.
Peterson was the name Of her father. He
was employed in a logging camp.

HIS ARM TORN OFF.
Shocking Accident in a New
York Machine Shop.
Revolving Story From the
BackWoods of Minnesota.
A Woman Accused of Eating
Her Dead Children.

New YORK, July 2O.-Oscar Eugel-
berg, a young machinist employed in the
Davis machine works, at IS Center street,
at ! O'Clock thus afternoon attempted to
put a 2 inch belt, which was attached
from the main shaft to an air compressor
on the floor, or the pulley. In doing
this he pushed an adjoining belt on the
shaft over the pulley so that it came out
to the belt attached to the air compressor.
The shaft was in motion, but the belts
were not. The air compressor is an iron
machine weighing over 400 pounds. 1t
was fastened securely to the floor by sew
eral S-luch bolts. When the machinist
got the two belts together it is supposed
that he gripped the belt attached To the
compressor 50 as to lift the second one
back over the pulley. He seized it too
close TO the rapidly moving shaft. The
next Engleoerg fell to the floor
with a cry of pain, and his left forearm
remained dangling 10 the loose belt on
the shalt. The momentum gwen to the
belt was SO great that the heavy iron air
compressor was pulled from its bolts clear
up to the revolving shalt, a height OF ten
feet. The thick belt hen broke and the
iron machine fell back to the floor about
eight teet from its former position. The
injured man was taken to the Chambers
Street hospital, and his arm was ampu-
tated just above the elbow. He was rest
ing well this evening. The arm was sent
to the morgue. Two of the men IN the
machine shop were so unneryed by the
sight of the manRled arm hanging from
the shaft that they left their work and
went home. Mr.. Davis says EnGelberg
is an excellent skilled workman. He is
2s years old and married, and lives at 429
Kosciusko street, Brooklyn.
