My eagle is named Ronival, after the
hill in South list, where he was Matched.
He is II male, and a very t.1e bird. l
have had him now for four years. and
he has assumed his white tail. He is
allowed to fly about at large, but he Is
not fond of going far, and will always
come at the call of the kitchen maid
who feeds him, and for whom he shows
the greatest affection. She can manage
him even when in most ungovernable
temper. He has a particular aversion
to small boys, and will fly at one going
near him The only animal he is afraid
Of is the pig, and to hear a pig grunt is
enough TO make him fly oil, even if it
should not be in sight.
A well dressed friend ventured one
day to touch him with the point of his
fashionable light umbrella, which so
offended Ronivals majesty that he flew
at the offending instrument and literal
~ smashed it, breaking the stick and
tearing the silk to tatters. Usually.
however, he is affable enough, and
does no more mischief than occasional
ly killing IA hen or we if his own din
ner is not served p%unetualIy enough,
and this is really great forbearance,
considering he actually lives at large in
n poultry yard. ~ Birds of Iona and

George fhatcher's Minstrel company
gave last evening, in the opinion of many,
the finest minstrel performance ever seen
IN the city, AID kept a large audience in
complete good humor from the overture
to the grand finale. The company is
strong in numbers, richly costumed and
has some Of the best vocalists and special
~ artists OF the minstrel stage. The pro-
gramme is kept almost clear of ancient
gags and ches.nu's and is mainly made up
Of original and new ideas.
Perhaps the most pleasing part of the
performance is the musical programme
Messrs. Jose, Moore, Lewis and Frillman
ere all vocalists Of exceptional ability, and
their contributions were received with
much enthusiasm. }. A. Coleman's
dancing is a big feature of the show and
was thoroughly enjoyed. The company
will always be we'll received in this city
should they make any visits here in the
future.

Large coils Of wire are u until each
piece is the length Of two needles.
These pieces are made straight, and
sharpened at the ends; then two eyes
are stamped near the middle, with a
cross cut between. The twin needles,
now head to head. are filed apart, and
each lies by itself. But it is far from
being ready to begin the work for which
it is designed. 1t must be smoothed
where the filing was done; heated 10

the steel sand and emery, putty pow

and water must cleanse it. And even
then it is not ready for use. The eye
is to be made smooth. that the thread
may not be cut, and the final polishing
is required to make it dainty enough
for the work it must do.-Hurper's

A WONDER OF NATURE.
Alcoya Hot Springs and Their
Surroundings.
Nature in a Freaky Mood Dsvsl.
Oped Them.
A Syndicate Buys the Springs for
a Health Resort.

Messrs. Isaac Vanhorn and +. p.
WeatherbY of Norfolk, Neb., arrived in
Casper last Thursday night, and in COM
panY with attorney G. c. Wright and oil
dealers +. IL. French and L. A.-Ross.
proceeded to the Alcova hot springs vest
of this city. The former gentlemen were
here in the interests of a powerful eastern
syndicate and ere departing completed
the purchase of the above mentioned
wonderful springs from the owner, Mr..
G. c. Riggles.
The springs in question are situated
upon the south bank of the North Platte
River, at a point where the river cuts its
way between perpendicular walls directly
through an immense mountain and
mountain range. There are forty springs
in all, ranging from very small springs to
one that flows a volume of water too great
to pass through an ordinary barrel. The
springs range IN temperature from luke
warm water in the smallest, to the largest
which registers 1902 Farenheit, or from
59' to 700 hotter than any other spring in
the known world. The purchasers have
secured an analysis of water from the
largest spring. and have no hesitancy in
stating that it is by far the best property
OF the kind, and that the waters possess
greater curative properties than any other
in the United States.
Aside from TIE wonderful curative prop
critics of the springs. the property pos
sesses many other natural advantages that
will assist in making it the greatest health
aud pleasure resort west of the Missouri
river. The scenery is perhaps the grand
est of any spot in the entire state. Per-
pendicular walls OF vari colored strata
tower above the springs. snow capped
mountains are upon every hand. the river
flows past with majestic curves, the earth
in the vicinity possesses all the oolors of
the rainbow-red, green, yellow-a fea-
ture that is IN itself a wonderful sight to
strangers not familiar with this popularity
of certain localities in Wyoming. Helrs
Half Acre (aptly namedl is less than
three miles from these springs.
A quarter of & million dollars is the
amount of money that will be required to
make the Improvements that the
co%ntemplates. OF this amount probably
$4,000 will be expended the present sea
son.
A steam engine will be purchased at
once and used to pump water from the
river tor the purpose OF irrigatiug the
lands adjacent to the springs, making fine
lawns and grounds. Two streets. one and
one-half miles in length, have been laid out
in residence lots Zone upon either side of
the river) and four or five seven-room
cottages are to be erected by as many
members of the company, who will move
their families there to reside. A wagon
bridge will be constructed across the river;
a frst-class road will be made from Casper
to the springs, a distance of thIrty-fve
miles; hotels, bathing accommodations,
ETC., will be prepared, and as o as
things are in readiness a daily stage line
will be put on from Casper to the spring.

Attlred in their mud stained suits, high
top boots, blue flannel shirts and wide
sombreros, they did not look like repre-
sentatives of the nobility. When they
applied for rooms at the Transit house at
the stock yards the clerk refused to ac-

ordered them out of the house and they
came to the city and took rooms At the

DAVID LANNEN DEAD.
Laramie County Loses an Honorable
Old Citizen.

David Lannen died at his ranch at
Cheyenne Pass at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning. The remains will be buried from
the Catholic church in this city at half past
10 o'clock this morning. Mr.. Lanuen
had been in poor health for many months
past. Some time ago his death was ex-
pected at any moment but he rallied and
was able to be about. Those who saw
him when he last visited the town, how
ever, noticed the extreme feebleness of
his once powerful frame aud will not be
surprised to learn of his death.
MIR. Lannen was one OF the pioneer cit
liens Of Laramie county, and with the
history of the famous Ches enne Pass his
name has long been associated. He came
to settle there purely by accident. He
was en- route overland with his family and
reached the pass late in the fall. A severe
snow storm caused him to go into camp
there, and he remained all winter. He
was so pleased with the place aud sur
roundings hat he decided to take up his
residence there. Through long years of
hard labor he succeeded in identifying
and rendering valuable his ranch, which
is now one of the very best in the state.
All of Mr.. Lannon'S family arc now
grown up. His wife survives him. Per-
sonally Mr.. Lannen was always an ex-
trcmely bard working man. No man was
over more punctilious in his business
dealings. His word was as good as his
bond. He leaves behind him property
valued at about $50, 900.
