HI BONUS IS READY.

The smelter committee yesterday tele-
graphed Mr.. Ben Blanchard to come to
Cheyenne and sign the contract for the
construction of the smelter. Everything
is now 10 readiness TOR him except two
deeds, one of which is known to be on
the road here. The other is Senator
Carey's which contained a three years
clause in regard to the smelter. The
committee therefore could not accept it
and it was returned for a change in this
detail.
Collecting the deeds and money has been
by far the hardest work performed by
the committee. 1t has been slow work as
well for a score OF u-nsuspected causes,
but it is now thoroughly well done and
there is no reason why the necessary
papers should not be signed and delivered
before the end OF this week.
So long as this affair is held in abey.
ancc it has a very bad effect upon general
business. In very line people are resting
OF their oars. They are simply waiting
aud doing little else. The rebound in
the other direction will begin as soon as
the contract is signed. Blanchard, on
his part, seems to be flying about in
much the usual fashion. AS far as can
be learned, ever since he lett here he has
gone ahead on the theory that the Chey-
enne people would carry nj their part Of
the contract and he has therefore been
making his contracts at hat end of the
line so that the machinery and other ma
terial will be ready at the earliest possible
moment. Once the contract is signed
the work of construction will be soon
commenced In Cheyenne and there are
very few here who underrate the impor-
lance of it. Besides the direct benefit ii
will give zest to other enterprises now
under way and the town will soon be
started on a long career of prosperity.

DESIGNS FOR THE STATE SEAL.

DESIGNS vi me OIAIE OEAL.
The drawing of the new state seal
fixed upon by Gov. Barber has been
photographed. 1t is certainly Hastily exc
cuted and appropriate in design but as it
has not been adopted by the legislature it
is pretty hard 10 see how it can be used
on official documents. The new design
contains a curious blunder. At the base
of the pedestal upon which stands a
draped female figure are these numerals,
''IS69-lS90"-apparently intended as the
dates OF the organization OF the territory
and state respectively. The territory OF
Wyoming was actually organized by act
of congress approved july 25. 1868, al.
though the wheels of government were
not set in motion until the following
spring.
The governor has had a good deal OF
grief over the state seal. Under the con
stitutIon the territorial seal is used until
such time as the legislature adopts a state
seal. Among the many matters of i'm
portance considered BY the first state leg
i~slature was that Of state seal. Half a
dozen different designs were presented,
but that of Representative Ii. L, Bueoh-
ner easily carried of the palm both tor
beauty OF execution and appropriateness
OF design. The bill providing for a state
seal contained a written detailed descrip-
ton of it with n reference to the design
which was attached to and a part of the
bill. Gov. Barber approved the bill. but
several weeks later when he decided to
make arrangements for securing the die
he was surprised to discover that the de-
sign attached to the bill bore no resem-
biapce whatever to the written descrip-
ton. Instead OF Bucehner's chaste design
there appeared an artistic nightmare. 1t
consisted mainly of a female figure whose
apparel was strikingiy scant even for
this banana belt climate. She was
represented as standing upon something
intended doubtless to represent o plat
torm but through lack Of artistic skill was
made to more nearly resemble a shallow
beer vat. To the unpoetic mind it there
IOTt aDptdTcu 10 lnOukh ehc WCiC bOah
ing her corns. The figure had about as
much artistic outline as a straight edge,
while her face looked decidedly more
greasy than Grecian in Its characteristics.
But the most remarkable feature of this
extraordinary figure was the strange and
unnatural growth from her left side. it
resembled a triangle in shape and APP
peared to be sharp enough to penetrate a
deal board. The artist may have intended
to represent a prehistoric woman Of what
is now Wyoming and conjured up the
triangular shaped object as her weapon of
defense, but of this nothing is positively
known.
The supposition is that either some
practical Joker or one who wished
another design adopted made a substitu-
ton of the scarecrow design for the real
one between the time it lett the senate
and before it reached the governors Office.
This will explain why the governor has
had so much trouble with reference To
the state seal.

GOSSIP OF THE FIGHTERS.
An Interesting Batch OF Notes on the
Master mau1ers.

j. l.. Sullivan, whose fight talk is
always painfully to the point and substan-
tiated with money deposits, has been
crowding the mouth fighters yery hard
the past week. Sullivan's old fashioned
sweeping challenge first come first
served" has not been made the occasion
OF a break neck rush to bs the first to
cover his money on the part of the exhi-
bition freaks, Mitchell, Corbett and Sla-
win. Mitchells talk is all there is in it
as far as he is concerned and few will ever
believe no can be forced to meet Sullivan
at all till they are face to face in the ring.
His defeat under the conditions he sug-
gests would be a certainty. He said last
December his hands prevented his signing
to a finish with Corbett. The inconsis-
tency of his talk about a finish with Sui
Ivan now is only equalled by the amount
Of bosh the Americans have stood from
this blowhard. | will concede him equal
if not better than any London rule fighter
of the day, not because he fights but on
the contrary because of the use he can
make Of his springing ability and say
ing" himself if in a critical position at the
end of the round by falling. But before
Sullivan or Corbett. Queehsberrv rules,
he would meet his master in either case
and no one knows it more thoroughly
than Mitchell himself. With Sullivan,
the smaller the ring the quicker he would
finish him.

TAKE 1T all together there never

Mayor Riner to a party of Horse creek
excursionists who were giving their x
periences.
You're right there" said A. Gil.
christ, who had been a member of that
distinguished body, "and poor old Pete
Downs OF Evanston, who has since died,
furnished more than his share OF 1t.
There was one member Of the council
who was always very anxious to have the
rule against smoking suspended. The
sentiment of a number of others was
strongly against suspension of the rules.
This member got a large number of those
nickel plated fuses, used for Lighting
cigars, which we're then considered quite a
curiosity. When the question of sus-
pending the rules came up it
was carried and these fuses
were handed around to every man
who voted in favor of the suspension.
Pete Downs of course got n of them.
Soon after there was a call of the house
and the sergeant at arms was sent N to
hunt up the members. Pete was one of
the delinquents, and more for the fun of
the thing than anything else he was called
before the bar of the house and the matter
treated with great solemnity. Pete was
very much worked up over it and was
painfully nervous and idgetty. In the
midst OF his excitement he reached his
hand into his pocket and accidentally
touched eff the cigar fuse. In a few mo-
ments his pocket was aire and Pete. who
was a heavy man, was dancing an i'm
promptu Highland fling IN full view of
the whole house. In his excitement he
threw D o only the fuse but his watch on
the floor and frantically danced upon
both. No legislative body before or since
has ever witnessed a more ludicrous scene.
Pete's pocket was burned out and then
he was magnanimously excused for his
petty delinquency after the members had
laughed themselves into a condition of
utter exhaustion"

Corbett refuses Choyiniski another
chance although a large curse would be
given Tor the fight. Choyiniski is sincere
no doubt. 1t seems to take an
lot OF whipping to conyince him that
Corbett is his master. Four times should
be sufficient. Admitting him to be as
good again as formerly his judgment has
not improved in a like degree if it leads
him to belieye he is equal to winning a
fight from Corbett. IT Joe will %confine
his attention to the lighter heavyweights

Corbett unquestionably out classes Choy-

HILE IN Chicago a few days
Wv ago." SAID a Cheyenne man who
generally manages to hear the
latest" 81 heard story going the rounds.
A man was at work daubing the under
side of a high stop with green paint.
Something gave wsv and he fell to the
sidewalk, the paint pot lighting on his
head and pouring a stream of oily green
paint over his face. A big crowd imme-
diately collected and a brawny, broad
shouldered policeman coming upon the
scene rushed through the crowd yelling:
Move an, move an. what's the matther

THE QUEEREST political cam
paign | ever knew" said Judge
Bergman. was the first after Wyo-
ming was organized as a territory. s. F..
Nuckolls was the democratic and w. w.
Corlett the republican candidate for dele
gate in congress. There were professions
every night in Cheyenne and as great ex-
element as | ever saw. To judge from
the number OF people in tho professions
anyone would conclude that the parties
were pretty equally divided and the
election would be very close. 1t didn't
prove so. The democrats carried every
precinct In the state and elected every
member OF the legislature. The pre-
cinct which vent republican was Pine
Bluffs. The governor was very unde-
cidcd as to whether it was in Nebraska .or
Wyoming. One day he decided ono way
and the next day the other, On the day
before the election he decided privately
that it was In Wyoming and f. p.
Snow was quietly.sept to Pine Bluffs by
the republican managers and he had no
trouble in fixing it. Aspen gave l think
600 democratic majority. 1t was the
home OF Strong, who was running at
large for the senate. The place probably
had six voters. Somebody afterward
suggested to Strong that the thing wasn't
exactly right. Right said he indig.
nantly. L know it was right for i put the
votes in myself Things were run quite
loosely on both sides that year"
IT HE RAILROAD men had a good
deal of fun over q recent rabbit
hunting experience, but | know n
which was even better" said a stockman.
"E. s. r. Boughton, who is now well
known in Cheyenne as IN Laramie. near
which town his place is, when he first
came to Wyoming visited a friends ranch.
One day he thought he'd go out to hunt
a deer. In a clump Of trees not far from
from the ranch he thought he saw a deer
browsing and plugged away. The ami
NAL came down but it proved to be u
little gray pony owned by the cook. 1t
was dead as a door nail. Boughton
was quite equal to the OCCASION, however.
Half an hour later he was back at the
ranch. Quite a plug of a pony. that of
yours, Billy, he said to the cook. Pretty
nice hoss.' said Billy. i wouldn't mind
buying him at a fair price, said Bough-
ton. What do you ask for him?' Il
don't much care to sell him., returned the
cook, but I'd let him go for $40.'
Boughton finally bought him for SOS and
after the bill of sale had been made out
and turned over. The fact Of the matter
is said Boughton, L accidentally shot
your horse awhile ago. 1t I'd onlv
known said Billy in telling the story
later, I'd have socked the bloomin' Brit
isher for a hundred, sure.
