PUBLIC BUILDING STOPPED.
The Ground is Too Soft to Safely Hold
the Structure.

A Cheyenne special says: Work on
the public building here has been tenn
porarily suspended on account OF I'M
expected conditions arising in refer
ence to the character OF the ground up
on which the foundations are to rest.
1t was intended that the basement
should be placed at a depth OF nine feet
from the surface and the trenches for
foundations should be three feet deep
er. 1t has been found that at the re-
quired depth for the foundation
trenches the ground is of a clayey ma
ture not deemed substantial enough to
carry the building. The superintendent
of construction has recommended that
the trenches be continued tpo bed rock,
which it is expected will be reached at
a further depth of from three to fifteen
feet and has advised that a supplement-
al contract be made to cover this addi-
tional work. Work will be suspended
on the excavation until a decision is
made by the treasury department on
the recommendation. The contractors
have employed about sixty young boys
to break stone for the concrete flooring
and are bringing in five carloads OF
stone daily from the Iron mountain
quarries.

BANKRUPTCY LAW.
How Petitions May Be Filed and Ac-
counts Settled.

A sepcial to the Denver News from
Cheyenne says:
In conversation with Mr.. Frank H.
Clark, United States court commission
er in bankruptcy since August 1, no
petitions in voluntary bankruptcy have
been filed. The provision of the law
is that a debtor. who desires to do o
may file his petition. and by giving I'D
all OF his property except that which is
exempt by the laws of the state where
he resides, be adjudged by the court a
bankrupt. and thereby have all old
scores wiped out and begin life new
The peculiar feature of this new law is
that 1t does not apply to wage earners
and tillers of the soil. He said the pro-
vision for involuntary bankruptcy does
not become operative until November
l. 1898. At that time, under the law,
creditors Of a person or firm who repre-
sent $500 Of Indebtedness, can file a
petition in the United States court and
force a man into bankruptcy, the order
OF the court operating like an assign
ment for the benefit of all the creditors.
The debtor in this latter case as in the
former being entitled to his exceptions
as provided in the statutes of the state
of his residence. and his discharge in
bankruptcy cleaning up all old scores.

THE CITY COUNCIL
PROCEEDINGS OF THE REGULAR
SEMI MONTHLY MEETING
LAST NIGHT.
The City Fathers Get Off Their High
Horses In the Matter of the Singer
Sewing Machine Company Assess
ment-Street %Sprinkling Matter
Receives Attention.


At the regular meeting Of the city
council last evening, Councilmen May,
Fee, Hassett and Miller, Mayor Miller.
Marshal Stirling, Clerk Howard and
Attorney Arnold were present.
The city attorney announced that he
had received a communication form J..
S. Gugerty, state agent for the Singer
Sewing Machine company, offering to
accept a raise of $3.50 in the assess
ment against that company, and on the
recommendation of Mr.. Arnold. the
city council Instructed him to draw up
an affidavit for Mr.. Gugerty to sign,
by the terms of which the city will re-
ceive taxes on an assessment of S340.
This is a great breakdown on the part
of the council. The board of eQualiza-
ton raised the assessment of the Sing
er company from 800. the amount re-
turned by the agent. to s. 1000, and re-
fused to accede to the demands of Mr..
Gugerty for a decrease. Mr.. Arnold
explained that it would be impossible
to collect the tax. anyway. and recon-
mended that the council accept the
company's proposition.
The city is now without street sprink-
ling facilities. owing to a disagreement
between the marshal and Mr.. Craw-
ford. and the matter occasioned a great
deal Of informal talk. 1t apears that
the marshal instructed Mr.. Crawford
to pay less attention to the business
streets farther out. This Mr.. Crawford
refused to do, claiming that the condi-
ton of the streets made it impossible
for one team to draw the heavy wagon

CROP AND WEATHER REPORTS.
Weekly Bulletin For the Week Ending
August Is, 1898.

Cheyenne, Wyo., August 16, 1885,
worm days and cool nights were gen.
eral throughout the state during the
past week. with very light showers in
some sections, although most parts Of
the state received no rain at all.
Throughout Uinta and Fremont
counties harvesting has not begun but
grain is still very promising with pros
poets of an excellent crop. Harvesting
Is In progress through the eastern coun-
&ies, with reports indicating that the
crop will yield much below the average
this year.
Potatoes and gardens are usually in
good condition. and the prospects are
still good for a large crop Of potatoes.
The report from Lander states that
small fruits Of excellent quality are
being marketed in abundance.
The week ending July 9th was favor
able throughout the Big Horn country,
4 good rain on the 9Th greatly benefit
ing all late crops. Grain was ripennig
md some harvesting had begun, the
crop filling well and a good crop antic-

and which are the richest in starch,
for seed, and growing them year after
year. 1t is thus hoped to improve pota-
toes greatly and to fix the improvement
so that the seed will not be exhausted
easily. The potatoes for this year have
not yet obtained their full growth, but
a number have been found weighing
ten ounces, thus giving promise Of a
heavy crop.
One of the most important lines of
investigation is that Of irrigation. This
is being carried on extensively both
on the station and in cooperation with
the farmers. The principal work be-
ing done this summer consists of a SER
les of water measurements to determine
how much water is actually used in
producing native hay and other. crops.
All the water used upon the experiment
farm is measured and a strict record
kept of the use to which it is put.
In spite Of the late spring and the
many cold days during the summer. the
crops are producing well. especially the
oats, which are expected to yield over
sixty bushels to the acre.
On the whole, the university has rea-
son to ibe proud of the experiment farm,
especially when the limitations which
affect 1t are taken into consideration.
