Early Society Buds,

One of the absurditics of the day is
the manner in which young schoolgirls
from fifteen to seventeen are allowed
to emulate their elder sisters in indulg-
ing in social dissipation, says the Bos-
ton Gazette, During the recent season
there have not only been dancing
classes but also private cotillons and
dinner parties given for children who
should either be asleep or in the nurse
ry. If dinners are to be given for the
doves" as the ''Sub-dovcs" are often
called, what is left for them when they
really are introduced into societyg 1t
is no wonder that some of the debu-
tantcS of the last few seasons have been
found to be well vcrsed in the ways of
the world, and ready to go quite as far
as their elders, when it is considered
that the bloom of maidcnly freshness
has been taken off at immune rable
cotillons, darces, slcighiDg parties and
dinners. Mothers would do well TO re-
fuse to allow their daughters so much
social liberty while they arc at school,
for they will find if this continues that
their buds" when presented to full
grown society, lack the charm that i'm
gcnuouSncSs alouc gives to young girls

ATTACKED BY A BUFFALO.
The Narrow Escape from Death OF a
Green Hunter.

Aho NATrO" escape from Death OF q
Green Hunter.
Sir Samuel w. Baker in his latest
book, wild Beasts and Their Ways."
narrates an adventure which shows that
hunters life may depend upon his
attention to small details. Sir Samuel
and Mr.. Dick were shooting in Africa,
when they saw solitary bull buffalo
on the opposite side of n small creek.
The bull was evidently in a state of
great excitement, for as the hunters
drew near the creek he faced them. tore
up the turf with his horns, and looked
down the perpendicular bank. twelve
feet high, as though meditating de-
scent.
Dick, who carried little rifle, a sin
gle barrel, which shot small spherical
ball, had by Sir Samuers advice doubled
his charge of powder.
Aim at the back of the neck if the
buffalo lowers his head" said Sir Sam
uel to his companion, throwing IL hard
clod of earth SO that it fell into the
water at the foot of the bank The
splash caused the animal to look down,
exposing his neck. Dick fired. The bull
convulsively turned round and fell upon
his side.
The two men waded across the creek
at shallow place, and ran to where
the PROSTATE animal was lying appar-
emily dead. Dick, standing in front of
the bulls head, reveled in the delight of
his first buffalo.
''Nevcr stand at the head of buffalo
whether dead or alive!'' exclaimed Sir
Samuel, whose experience had taught
him to be cautious. "Stand upon the
side facing the back of the animal
well away from its legs, as am stand
lug now"
Scarcely had he uttered the words
when the bull sprang to his feet and
blundcrcd forward straight at the as
tonished Dick, not three feet distant.
He jumped backward to avoid Che
horns, but tripped and fell upon his
back right in the path of the savage
bull.
AS quick as lightning Sir Samuel
drew his long hunting-knife and plunged
it behind the buffalos shoulder. The
animal fell to the blow. He had re-
ccivcd his death-strol1e.
If the hunting-lSnifc had not been
tempered steel, with keen edge and
a sharp point, the story would have had
tragical ending. The blade, a part OF
an old Andrea Fcrrara" Highland
claymore, was eighteen inches long,
two inches in breadth, doubled-edgcd,
and as sharp as it was possible to
make it.
Sir Samuel saw to it that it was al
ways in the condition of q surgeons
lancet. He never left the camp for n
days shooting without first examining
it's point and edge. No servant was
allowed handle it, and when it needed
sharpening he himself honed it. When
he struck the buffalo the sharp double
edge of the long knife divided the great
artery of the heart.

TWO ruRLIC \


The Picnic given under the MANAGE
ment of the Turn Yerein at Kingman's
grove was well attended by those who
wished TO get out TO the country. on the
green grass and under the trees. The ar

number of onlookers.
The society cleared in the neighhorhood
of 5000 which will be used in the con-
struction of their hall.
AT the "A Grounds.
The celebration in town and afterwards
at the fair ground, under the auspices of
the labor organizations, kept a large
crowd in the city. The parade in the
morning was followed to the fair grounds
by street cars crowded with pleasure seek
ers.
Lovers of field sports were g%ratiied
with a good exhibition of athletics while
good speakers had been provided for the
pleasure OF those of a more sedate turn of
mind.
Hon. f S. n. Morgan was chairman of
the day, and held the speakers down to
the limited time set for them to express
their thoughts. The American eagle
scared high but at no time was allowed to
get out OF sight.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
CARBON, Wyo.. July 6.-About $50
Sunday morning W. F. johnson, better
known as Stonewall jackson, was placed
in the city Jail drunk. Shortly afterwards
smoke was seen issuing from the building
The door was broken and the entire inside
of the Jail was found to be on fire. At
temrts we're made to rescue the prisoner,
but were futile as the fire had gained such
Roadway that tie cells could not be
reached and the ~bystanders could only
stand and watch the prisoner slowly con
sumed. 1t is supposed that Stonewall pur.
posely set FIRE to the jail, as he was a reck-
less, dare devil sort of fellow, and had
made threats that he would do so. When
the fire was extinguished only the trunk
burned beyond resemblance to a human
being, was found. johnson was GA years
oil and served during the war in the fed.

Property Owners Take Legal Steps
AGAINST Houses OF III Fame.

AcainSt louise OF Ill Fame.
A number of property owners of the
West end have signed their names to
petition asking the Judge of the district
court to grant a permanent injunction
against the owners and managers of the
bawdy houses. restraining them from con
tinuiug in the business or permitting their
houses to be used for houses Of prostitu-
ton.
The petition alleges that the occupants
of the houses are noisy, boisterous, vul-
gar, obscene aud rude, and claim that the
visitors to the houses arc as bad as the in
mates, and bring great disrepute upon
the neighborhoOd and community Aand
their presence lowers the value of the
petitioners property and makes their
lives and the lives of their family very
disagrreeable.
May Spencer, Nettie Clark, Mary l..
Lyle and Stella Ridgeway own their
property and will probably make a legal
fight to be let alone.
Different property owners have attached
their names to the petition against the
following owners OF the property and the
keepers of the houses:
James Talbot VS.. Stella R~Idgeway.
Chas. McGarvey vs.. jessie Strong aud
Nellie Clark.
Milton Taylor VS.. James Ferris and
Dellie Myers.
Chas. McGarvey vs.. James Ferns and
Pearl RAYMOND.
Chas. McGaryey VS. james Ferris and
Grace Roe.
Chas. w. Rogers VS.. James Ferris and
Josie Wallace.
Chas. W. Rogers VS.. Title Shannon.
James Talbot vs.. Mary l.. Lytle alias
May Day.
Milton TAYLOR VS.. May Spencer.
The papers will probably be served to-
day citing the persons named in the in
junction suit, to appear at the August
term of court and show cause why the
petitions for the injunction should not be
granted.
A. G. Campbell is the attorney for the
property owners asking for the petition,
and it is understood that Lacey and Van
Devanter nave been retained for the de-
tense.

MILLS OR CAPITAL WANTED.


Special Correspondence.
GOLD HILL, June, 2g.-The snow is
going very fast, and in another week one
can go anywhere on the slope. New men
to the camp are arriving every day and
the hills are now being looked over by the
prospector.
Mr.. Stuley will have his new house
ready for occupation by the last ofthis
week.
Mr.. Riggs has arrived with his tent,
l6x3O, and has opened a saloon.
There has been considerable very rich
gold rock brought into camp during the
past few days and with what rich claims
have been opened we can look forward to
some remarkable clean ups when the mills
are in.
A new vein has been discovered on the
Lakeside ground which shows an abund-
ance of free gold. Work is now being
done on this vein.
Considerable talk has been made here
IL a#a=-icle iLthe Laramle Republican
from some one in the camp. The writer
of this article is very much mistaken as
to the depth and width OF some of the
mines he speaks of, aud we would advise
him to WRIT them and see for himself.
Work will soon on the
Mineral Hill tunnel. This tunnel will cut
the Acme. Lakeside and the new find on
the Lakeside ground, at a depth of about
three hundred feet. This tunnel will be
across the formation and will give us
information OF value as regard to the
mineral veins in the camp.
Hon. n. F. Spicer was in camp last
Saturday. He came on business and did
not remain long. p. f. Wood, b. p.
Arendell and l.. d. Chase are building an
arastra and will work some of their ore
with it.
We are in need Of either mills or
capital with which to develop claims. If
we have the mills we can get enough
from our ore and can develop them our
selves, otherwise we must have capital.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE MINES.
The Coal Business Increasing at Rock
Springs.


tRock Springs independently
June has been a record breaking month
In the mines here. Besides the record
made by No. ) niue, Yardmaster Demon
est and his men have been doing them
selves proud. During the month of June
they have handled 800 cars of coal and
have done 1t all with only two engines
and crews. This is the biggest record yet.
About three-iourths Of this amount of
coal was shipped west and the balance
went east. There are plenty OF orders in
for Union Pacific coal and as the orders on
outside mines are quite likely to increase,
the output for the present month will not
be less than for June. As No. 7 Almy
mine is now running there will probably
be a smaller proportion of the output
from here go west. The Green River
swing is again running and makes two
trips per day. Ii made three trips on
Monday. The increase IN the coal busi-
ness has made an appreciate increase in
the number oftrains running. Eight new
crews have been put on during the past
few weeks. The trainmen speak highly
of the Rock Springs yard now. They
say it is the most conveniently arranged
and kept in the best shape of any yard
along the line.

There is a way Of being abso-
lutely sure that the shoes you buy
are worth at least as much as YOU
pay for them. You may not be
able to tell good leather from bad;
you may not know the difference
between a high grade shoe and
an article of rougher make, and
yet it is your own fault if you are
imposed upon. You cannot be
expected 10 detect those diff
ferences in material which make
such a material difference, but
you can mt least take the pre-
caution of making your purchases
where Misrepresentation are
never for II moment tolerated.
You will be more than pleased

OPPOSED TO DONNELLY.

Quite Lively Meeting Of the Minnesota Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the Peoples Party.
ST. PAUL. MINI, July S-The state execu-
tive committee Of the Farmers Alliance met
yesterday in this city and later q conference
for the purpose Of organizing the new peoples
party in Minnesota was held. Mr.. Donnelly who
had been appointed chairman Of the Minnesota
state committee by the Cincinnati convention.
presented the names of full state committee.
and hoped it would meet with acceptance.
Senator Hompe leader Of the anti-Donnelly
alliance faction. objected to the new committee
because it ignored the existing alliance cam
paign committee. He held that the Cincinnati
convention proposed new committees only in
unorganized states, while Minnesota was already
organized. The debate then grew warm and
finally a motion was made for q committee Of
i've to report a compromise, three Of said COM
mittee to be three appointed at Cincinnati.
Donnelly objected strenuously, but the
motion was carried. This committee Of Eve an
nounced q new committee late in the afternoon.
divided between the two factions. Another
fight then arose on some members of the COM
mittee, in the course Of which eX-President K
j. Hall denounced Editor Fish of the Great
West as a traitor and called him Q liar, when the
latter attempted to defend himself. The re-
port was adopted and the new state committee

THE NEW BRIDGE.

Plan That Will Be Adopted for the Bridge
Across the Eastern Branch.
Under the last Congress an appropriation Of
900 was passed for a new iron bridge across
the Eastern branch on the Benning road Capt
Rossell has been busy in making designs for
this bridge for some time with view of adver-
tising the same for competition. In this
connection word has been received from
various bridge builders throughout the coun-
try giving special designs in accordance
with the general idea as laid down by
Capt. Rossell. One of these which gives
very handsome effect, and will be ac-
cepted, is built with twenty-foot spans
resting upon iron pillars sunk to solid ground.
with asphalt roadways and footwalks the
roadways being twenty-four feet wide and
the sidewalks each five feet three inches
wide. The floor of the bridge will be
four feet above the floor of the
present bridge, and the whole struc-
ture can be built within the appropriation
The specifications are now being drawn up and
it is safe to say that the new bridge will be
completed before next winter. Capt. Rossell
is considering the practicability of allowing the
old bridge to remain during the construction of
the new bridge.
