evening it was announced hat North

dolin club had been secured for a hop
to be given this evening in honor OF the

COL. DOWNEY.

Soh. otepnen w. DOWney was the nrSt
prosecutor of Albany county and
through his efforts law and order were
brought out of lawlessness and chaos.
He 1t was who served the county 50
faithfully when the jury composed OF
women wal in the box and struck ter
ror to the criminal classes. At the bar
OF the county n state he served with
great ability, placing him at once in the
foremost ranks of his profession in the
west In 1878 he was elected to con-
gress, polling n tremendous majority
of the votes of the territory. His OPP
ponent was E. l.. Pease Of Evanston.
From the national legislature the peO-
pie OF Wyoming received much through
Mr.. Downey's influence, the public sur
yeys being pushed with vigor and the
lands being opened to immigration and
settlement. He declined to become a
candidate for a second term and devot-
ed his time largely to the development
Of h of the state,
Many times has he represented AL
bany county in the legislature and scrv,
ed the house as speaker with marked
distinction. He was the father of the
bill creating the Wyoming university.
n when 1t or n of its branches have
been in danger he has ever rushed to
Its defense. In the constitutional con
vention genius and ability marked his
course and he was one OF the most cap
b of he members of that body OF
lawmakers.
In his home life Col. Downey has eve
been a loving and constant husband and
father, whose homecoming has been
a source Of delight and pleasure to the
household. His large. intelligent and
Interesting family has been brought up
in the fear and nurture of the law and
the shadow of the great university
which he did so much to establish is
being cast athwart the lives of his chill.
dren.
He has been unfortunate. From the
days when he entered the state as a
pioneer he has pinned his faith to our
great mineral resources, and with that
same tenacity with which the aged
gambler turns again and again to the
faro table Col. Downey has lost his ac-
cumulations in the development of
mining prospects in the mountains. The
Centennial lead was one of the first
great prospects to attract his attention.
Samples from that vein ran away up
into the thousands of dollars, and at
n period he was offered 500, 900 for
his interest. He believed. however,
that 1t was more valuable than it was,
and the offer was refused If there
were millions in this mine the colonel
believed they should be transferred to
the pockets of Wyoming men, who had
found and developed it. We all know
the result-the vein pinched out and
all was lost. At Douglas. Gold Hill
and elsewhere the same bad fortune
has logged his footsteps, but his con-
fidence in our mineral future has not
been dimmed and he is today just as
ready as ever to lend his aid in any
mining project promising success
More recently Col. Downey has again
given his attention to the practice of
the law. with that same ability and sue
cess which attended his early efforts in
this great profession.

There Is never q blossom that blooms fer

As sweet as my blossom my sweet
And not in Gods skies any stars like her
eyes
Like the eyes Of my blossom sweet
Like her beautiful eyes, where my destiny
lies
All bright with the blue and the dew OF
the skies;
She is wonderful sweet-she Is wonderful
wise
Ny beautiful blossom-my sweet
And not for the queens OF the loveliest
lands
Would give her-my blossom, my sweet;
Not kiss OF her lips not clasp OF her
hands
For the loyellest lady you'd meet.
Por the loveliest maid in whose honor
blade
Hath flashed where the battle made foe
men afraid;
Her lips to my own. May Gods tempest5
be stayed
For my blossom-my blossom-my sweet

Chattanooga, Tenn, stands ~ a
shining light to all American munich
palities. October /, 1893, the city had
. floating debt of S72, 900. but no out
look for paying It, except resort to in
creased taxation. The city authorities
adopted the method of retrenchment
instead of increased taxation. Headed
by the mayor, they wrought SO wisely
and well that in two years they brought
this debt down to $4,000 They not
only did not increase the tax rate
meantime, but actually reduced it,
This story teaches that other city
authorities can do likewise if they are
as honest and shrewd IA those of
Chattanooga.

United States Senator Penrose OF

of his convictions. When in Wash

he boards at II fashionable hotel, where
the practice of tipping is general, The
se>ator, of course, refused to follow
the example of the other guests. aud
for several days the alacrity Of the
walters in serving him was steadily
decreased. Sunday morning when he
entered the dining room the walters
completely ignored him. The head
waiter told man To take the senator 3
order, but the man refused and was
discharged on the spot. Three others
who were called ON refused and were
likewise discharged, and then the en-
tire force Of walters struck. They
made their mistake in 80 doing, how
ever, for instead of losing one man Is
tip they are losing everyone's, for an
entire new force of walters was Sc
cured, and the Pennsylvania senator
is now being waited on promptly, and
he isn't tipping the servant, either.

his horse, and without even throwing

Soon the lone searcher left the

him was the ravine, and the glad
heart leaped. Crossing the depth, he
urged his horse up the incline, peer

him there was dark object in the
snow. The old man slipped from his
mount, then with quaking limbs led
the beast forward till at last they
stood beside the faithful lover of his
