mary Of the democratic situation on

The contest for the nomination for

THE CARDIFF GIANT.
May Be Revamped by the Frontier
Committee.

The story of the Cardiff giant is fresh
in the minds Of all old timers.
Simon Guggenheimer of New York
worked for years IN an artificial stone
giant. When completed it was nearly
ten feet long and weighed 700 pounds.
The maker buried it in a | me formation
in the mountains Of New York and had
it accidentally discovered. Its discov-
cry created a sensation over the entire
world. The supposed fossil was viewed
by scientific men from learned institu-
tions all yer the globe, and brought
forth learned dissertations. The great
Snowman. Barnum, became possessed
Of the curiosity and made thousands of
dollars by exhibiting it.
Finally the fake was exposed by a
confession and the owner found him
self possessed Of a useless formation of
stone weighing 700 pounds, which in
censed rather than interested the pub
lie. The curiosity was therefore aban-
doned by a show company in Cheyenne
and for years was on exhibition at the
Van Tassell coal yards. Mr.. Van Tas-
sell being absent from the city, it was
impossible to find out what became OF
the giant. but it is supposed to be still
in his possession. 1t is thought the
curiosity will be revamped and exhibit
ed not as a fossil of a prehistoric hui
man, but as a mechanical contrivance
that faxed the American people, includ-
ing the foremost scientific men, for an
extended period.-Sun-Leader.

A SUCCESSFUL CHAIN.
Started By Mrs. G. NJ. Randall of Fort
Russell.

Three weeks ago Mrs. G. NJ. Randall
of Fort Russell started a chain of four
for the purpose Of raising money for
the Red Cross society Of San Francisco.
The chain has been very successful and
Mrs. Randall receives on an average Of
lCO letters per day. which number is
rapidly on the increase. Up to and in
Guiding today. Mrs. Randall has sent
to the society about s256. The patriotic
ladies of Carbon raised at a public en-
tertajinment $35, which they sent Mrs.
Randall to aid in the noble cause for
which she is working.
Mrs. Randall's correspondence is very
amusing and, Of course. takes up the
greater part Of the lady's time. Some
write long letters saying they cannot
afford to send 10 cents and ask il they
can't do something in some other way.
Other communications are very
abusive, vehemently attacking the lady
and rejecting on her honor and sincere
intentions and threatening prosecution.
Others make all kinds of inquiries.
Still others send more than 10 cents.
while a great many send less than that
amount and a large per CEN send moth
ing at all. At Arst Mrs. Randall tried
to find time to answer some OF the let
tiers, but has given up in despair now.
The chain is a success beyond her most
sanguine expectations and the treasury
of the Red Cross will be replenished to
the amount Of several hundred dollars
before 1t is broken. Mrs. Randall re-
ceived 142 letters yesterday.-Sun-
Leader.

that Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, daugh-

Nellie Grant Sartoris was the favor

among the forces that opposed General
Grant in the late war.
These two people met for the first
time on the day Of President Grants
Inauguration. At the inauguration
ball that evening the tall, handsome
ex-Confederate bowed over the hand
of the presidents daughter and vowed
fealty to her. His VOW has been un-
