SOCIAL GOSSIP.


people:
July 16-Our first sight Of the cook
is not encouraging. He is a short,
freckled youth, with no chefs dignity
in his step. no CLEAN Of conscious power
in his eye. The mystery Of the CON-
bination of -four and baking powder into
satisfaction is still mystery to him.
There may be such thing as a humble
cook. I never saw one. A cook knows
he knows that which will keep those
who eat his masterpieces in their place.
This mans humility is depressing when
We consider hat he prepares for us our
next forty meals.
July 1.-THE day is cloudy and cool.
After leaving Edgemont the road lies
thus: A country Of sand, sage-brush
and cactus. Every afternoon for five
months in the year the sun bakes this
train. Today a pillar Of cloud moves
between the sun and us. 1 see none of
the chosen people on board. This
Mosaic miracle is doubly grateful. Last
year when we crept over this wilderness
the sun and the eand had their way
with us. The white desert threw back
the sun till the eyes ached and the
throat was parched. The weather has
reduced the lovers who started in the
morning with badinage and coquetry to
silence. She asked him to raise the
window. 1t stuck. He said he did not
see why she wanted the window down
anyway; it was hotter outside than in.
Then they did not speak again until the
evening breeze cooled his head and
warmed his heart. (These people were
not Of our party.)
The train stops twenty minutes at
Gillette to load mail into four-mule
stage drawn up at the station. 1t goes
to some place across the desert at the end
Of the sand and the sage brush where
irrigation smiles its steady green smile.
The little town seems not to be
visited CT REINFORCED by settlers.
Gillette ia its nearest Large town. and
Gillette has five saloons, grocery, drug
store and dry goods store in one, a livery
stable and hotel. They are made Of
implanted pine boards, ed-shaped,
one story. All the men in sight are
dressed like cowboys, in big hats and
little feet clothed in fine thin boots with
little heels and big spurs. II it were
not for purple distant hills all would be
ugliness. Occasionally desperate
cowboy jumps on to his lean horse, goes
to the hills, throws himself on to the
ground and receives his commission.
When he comes back he swaggers aud
swears more than common in order to
be clear of charge Of sentimentality.
The train is made up Of a baggage
car, two freight cars, a caboose and two
passenger coaches. One Of the coaches
is filled with hoboes going out to work
on the B. & M. northern extension.
The men are noisy. One young fellow
gets out of the car at every stop and
ostentatiously throws his head badk
and tips a whiskey bottle upside down
over his mouth. Nearly all the men
have a bottle-those who have not
drink from their neighbours. They are
an irresponsible fierce-looking lot of
men. But dirt, whiskey and fatigue
will make an honest man look high
wayman. When these DISCUSSES are
applied to a carload of hoboes they are
terrifying. -...

the fife have a solo part TOO. This
stream band always plays fugue. The
parts eternally chase. each other down
stream. Now the horses and the heavy
carts and the smooth roll Of the car
riages overwhelm the orchestra. Later
the shouting OF the street hawkers and
the drivers voices are strongest.
Finally We hear the fugue only. One
after another Of the party says do
you hear the cornet?" or II wonder
what all those people are shouting
about; Van must have batted it over
the fence that time" We are not
imaginative. only this long symphony
has worked out some of the earth.

The Chronicle gives an interesting item
regarding a land case 10 the town of
! alIshicott. Martin Sklenars came ID
possession of some land in the north
eastern part of MIshicott on tax title
deed. He has lived on it during the last
80 years. A young man named David
Cahill came from Wausau a short time
ago and notified him that his farm was
still government land and that he had
made homestead entry of 1T and pro-
posed taking possession. He purchase
lumber and proceeded to erect house
he brought companion with him so
that they might successfully resistforci-
BILE election.
1t seems that in 1856 a man named
Wesley pre-empted the land but never
proved up. subsequently man named
Aoeeterle entered 1t, but his patent was
Cancelled because of the prior entry. In
the meantime the land got on the assess
ment roll aud was finally sold for taxes
Mr.. Sklenars becoming owner. He has
worked on and improved the farm since,
although the title always remained 10
the government.
Sklenars is man of considerable
means and has a son who is % years old
and quite bright. 10, the son, has visited
Wausau and has learned something of
the financial standing OF Cahill and pro-
poses fighting the matter to the bitter
end. He also visited Washington on this
business but so far has effected nothing
He employed a lawyer in Wausau and
has also engaged J. S. Anderson of this
city. There will be bitter legal fight
before final decision in the matter is
reached

HERE are more dogs IN the city than
the greatest needs of sausage factory
would demand. There are people IN the
city keeping dogs who are IN arrears for
The Pilot for years. They excuse their
failure by claiming they are unable to
pay. DO they pay for their dogs? Why
does not the city council order that the
names of all who have paid the dog tax
license be published? Then those who
have failed TO pay would be known. For
two weeks the corner If 9TH and Clark
streets has been SO crowded with dogs
that people have been forced to travel
elsewhere. Have. the taxes on these dogs
been paid? Will the city treasurer pub
lish list of the names of those who have
paid? Are the dogs to have complete
possession of the city without paying for
the privilege?

On Tuesday Of last week Frank Muehl-

team. He became rather the worse for
liquor and the team got away from him.
They took the Mishicott road and were
caught when they reached Charles Hail S
and there were cared for. Muehlbauer
went home on foot and the following
morning set out to find his team. He
reached the Branch and since that tim g
has not been heard from. His absence
caused alarm and inquiries were made at
the Branch as to whether he had left on
a train, but he had purchased no ticket
there.
1t has been learned since that Muehl-
bauer went west from the Branch and
after reaching Cato remained with some
people there. His father who came to
this city tC look for his son was SO in
formed.
