THE OHIO CLoUD-rAPpER.
He VIII VISIT CHEYENNE and Experi-
ment Early This Week.

Frank H. Jones Zones of Eebert) has
effected arrangements whereby Frank
Melbourne, the Canton, o., cloud-com
peller, will visit here. Melbourne is one
of the prevailing North American rain
artists. By a patented method he claims
to be able to make rain fall oyer an area
of upwards of $50. 900 square miles. He
claims to have experimental successfully
Upon twelve different occasions in Aus
tralia during a season of droughts. five
times in New Zealand during February of
this year. and three times in Ohio during
the past sixty days.
The attention of Mr.. Jones was at
tracted to the subject by an article which
appeared in The LEADER. II such ex-
periments were successful the invention
would prove of incalculable value in this
so called ari1 region. and as water is the
only thing needed, it would make this
country blossom like the rose. Acting on
this theory Mr.. Jones wrote to Mel
bourne. The result of the correspondence
was an offer by MI. Melbourne to come
here provided his expenses we're paid.
The necessary amount was raised by con
trlbution and deposited by Mr.. Jones in
a CITY bank yesterday. According to the
terms Of the agreement the experiment of
producing rain must be carried to a sue
cessful termination before Melbourne can
secure the money. A telegram was re-
ceived from him Yesterday stating that he
had made arrangements to start any time
and as a telegram was sent to him stating
that the required sum Of money to bring
himself and assistant here had been de-
posted in a Cheyenne bank to his credit
it is supposed that Melbourne will start
at once and reach here by the middle of
this week.
The site for the proposed experiment
has not vet been selected. The wishes of
the contributors to the fund will govern
the choice of location. The experiment
will be watched with a great deal of
interest.

A BEAUTIFUL RESORT.
improvements Projected in the
Lake Minnehaha NeighbOrhoOd.
They Will Include Lakes, Bathing
Beach, Drives and PaVilions.
Plans Which Would Add Greatly to
the Attractions of the City.

Mr.. Frank Bond has drawn the plans
for the proposed M%innehaha park. The
plans are quite elaborate and if followed
out will result in a most beautiful city
park, one that would be an rname to
the town and compare most favorably
with the parks of any city in the West.
Nature has done but little for the location
and the beauties of the park would be for
the most part artificial. The plans include
the incorporation in the park Of several
blocks of land belonging to the city that
lie adjacent to the parcel OF land and lake
nov known as Minnehaha park.
The park is of irregular shape. The
boundary on the north will be Nineteenth
street, hen south on Alexander street to
Seventeenth. From there the boundaries
will follow along the line of the city land
to Rollins street and south to Fourteenth.
The western boundary will be Duff street
at the south end and north of Sixteenth,
Morrie street. The amount of land in
the park will be thirty.six acres.
The design calls for a large lake
separated by a strip of land from a narrow

A BUSINESS CHANGE.
A Cheyenne Young Man BUYS a
Leader CITY Circulation.

Leonard l.. Dietrich has bought the
city circulation of The LEADER from Il.
7. Payton. Mr.. Deitrick has been a car
rier on THE LEADER for more than seven
years and for nearly a year has assisted
the circulator in collecting and soliciting.
lie will devote his time in pushing the
city circulation and his many friends are
confident Of his success. Mr.. payton will
remain with THE LEADER. He has
charge OF the mail circulation and will
make himself useful in other ways.
A Point For Advertisers.
The circulation of The DAILY LEADER
is much larger than it was a year age
and that OF the weekly has more than
doubled. The company now receives
from the circulation each week Just S.
less than double what it did 10 mouths
ago. The LEADER will continue to have
the largest circulation of any paucr in
Wyoming and we ask all advertisers to
investigate the matter for themselves.
Do not take our word for it but call at
the press room and see the papers run off.

of the poisoning of the family of VIM.
Schloredt living near Sundance A COW
belonging to the family had been bitten
by a rattlesnake but as the COW was
MIXED after dark the bite was not noticed.
Some ut the milk was fed to a colt which
died three minutes after it had been led.
The cause was not suspected and the
remainder OF the milk was mixed with
that from the other cows. The next
morning when the family used the cream
from this milk they we're all taken sick
and for a time it was feared several o fthe
children would die. Had the mix not
been mixed the death of the entire family
would have been certain.

Cause OF the Delay.

OMAHA. Aug. 22.-lt is stated at
Union Pacific headquarters that the state
ment OF the commissioners regarding the
replacing of the iron rails on the Kansas
division with steel rails is erroneous. The
arrangement authorizes the statement that
the company is ready and willing to lay
the steel rails at n time, but the matter
has been delayed by the Kansas authori-
ties. The latter ordered f%itty-six pound
rails laid and the company having a large
stock of flty-two pound rails on hand
asked if these would not answer as well
instead Of buying heavier rails. No reply
has been received TO this inquiry, hence
the delay. 1t is stated that nothing was
said about poverty nor was there any
intention OF evading the order to replace
the rails.

Texas Cattle Quarantine,

WASHINGTON, April 20.-An earnest
effort is making on the part of cattle
men from the far west to have the
Texas fever cattle quarantine line es-
tapiished by the agricultural depart
msnt for the great cattle raising states
of Wyoming, Montana and Colorado
moved farther south and made to con-
form to the Guaran inc line fixed upon
by those state for their own protection
before the national government quar-
antine line was established. Senator
Carey of Wyoming presented the mat
ter fully to the agricultural depart
ment, and it is probable that the matter
will be fixed as desired. The department
has communicated with Secretary Rusk
on the subject and the secretary thinks
the department can so far modify it's
instructions as to permit cattle to be
shipped into the states of Colorado,
Wyoming and Montana from as far
south as heretofore. provided those
states give satisfactory assurance that
no cattle shipped into them shall be
sent out of the states before December
l. The effect of the order of the agri-
cultural department moving further
north the quarantine line established
by these states was to work serious
hardship on large numbers of men
having cattle between the line decided
on by the. national government and
that which the experience of the states
named had found to be safe.
