pie at the Magic City.
Cheyenne, Aug. 11-tSpecial Core
is just now re-
Yelling in a great delight. The merry
body is enjoying the pleasure. Gray
haired men and matrons, young men
and their sweethearts and little kids
all join in the frolicsome whirl, to the
daubtful music of a machine calliope.
The merry-go-round occupies one
quarter Of a block on Nineteenth
street and a gospel tent another quar-
ter adjoining. Before the merry device
arrived. the crowd around the gospel
tent was rather pretentious. but now
lle gathering about and therein is
confined to a few whose proximity to
the grave has made them forswear
everything that can possibly be con-
s.rued as frivolous. High above the
appeals to the throne of grace can be
heard the piping of the organ on the
merGy-go-Iound and the shouts and the
laughter of its crowds of patrons. II
this thing keeps up there will be a
iearth of nickles and dimes for the
contribution boxes Of the capital.
The first thing that greets the eye
of the transcontinental tourist as he
steps from the morning trains at
Cheyenne is the depot park. as beau
tifnl a natural picture as a ever
fashioned by the hand of man. 1t Is
fully two acres in extent and so par
~ticu!ar has Superintendent Malloy been
in his watchfulness over its care that
1t presents a surface equal to the velvet
of a lady's garment. Evergreen trees
are growing at intervals and here and
there are figured beds Of fragrant and
beautiful flowers. The stone ap-
breaches TO the viaduct, covered COM
pletely with Virginia creepers, and
adorned with %hollyhooks and other
flowers, form a handsome background.
One might travel from the lakes to the
gulf and from Portland to Portland and
not see a prettier sight. There is none.
1t is said by the people Of Cheyenne
that General Superintendent Malloy Is
responsible for the art here displayed.
If this is then to Mr.. Malloy they
owe something more than wealth can
buy, for the beauties of nature, mould
ed SO deity by the hand of man, are
without price.
Recent railroad changes at the capt.
tai are liable to bring about a condi-
ticn of things at once peculiar and
distressing. The general superintend-
ent CT the Cheyenne and Northern, Mr..
Rasback, has been assigned to a con-
ductor's position on the road, hand
ling this in addition to his duties as
superintendent. Now suppose. as con-
ductor, Mr.. Rasback should commit
some breach Of the rules demanding the
attention and discipline of the super
intendent, would he, as superintendent,
be called upon to discharge himself, as
conductor. and. II so, and he still con-
tinued to exercise the duties Of run
ming the train, would HE be a conduc-
tor or a superintendent? Again, il an
infraction of the rules such as would
demand his p%eremptory removal should
he committed out on the line, and the
superintendent decided to at once dis
charge the conductor. who would bring
the train to the city, the conductor or
the superintendent, and who would fill
the place of the conductor after his
suspension or discharge? Again, at
times in the handling of trains brake
men and enginemen often are guilty
Of little sins of omission and commits
sion. from a superintendent point Of
view, which 1t would be deemed very
bad faith for a conductor to report.
Under such circumstances would it be
the duty OF the conductor to peach to
the superintendent on his fellow
workmen? These are matters of vital
importance which demand the atten-
ton of men we'll versed in the law Of
time cards.
Today all the people OF the capital
are in an anxious. waiting frame OF
mind. They want to hear from Doug
las. They want to know the names of
those who have been placed upon the
winning ticket. Never in the history
of the state has there been such uncer-
tainty as now. OF one thing. however,
they feel certain, and that is that the
ticket named at Douglas will march to
victory in November.
Foreman and Mrs. John P. Bay have
arrived in the city from Laramie and
have taken up their residence here. Mr..
Bay has succeeded to the position OF
general foreman OF the Union Pacific
shops at this place. He was formerly
with the Denver and Gulf as master
mechanic and at that time made many
friends in Cheyenne. His connections
with the Union Pacific have been Of
