The Cheyenne G Northern railroad has
completed arrangements for handling the
large shipments of cattle which are com
mencing to pass through from Texas, Ari-
IONA, New Mexico and Old Mexico points
to the plains of Wyoming, western Nebraska
and South Dakota. For the present the
train crews of the Denver Pacific will handle
the trains between Denver and Cheyenne
and the trains will be dispatched from the
Denver office of the Colorado & Southern.
Later on, however, a dispatcher's office will
be established here and the trains from
Cheyenne north will be handled from this
point. The Cheyenne &c Northern has bor-
rowed a number of locomotives from the
Union Pacific, and as there is a large num-
Der of train hands here waiting for work
there is no danger but that the rush will
be handled without difficulty.
1t is stated in railroad circles here that
the office of trainmaster at Green River, on
the Eighth district of the Wyoming division,
will be abolished at an early day.
1t is reported here that the Union Pa
cifc is contemplating another change in it's
passenger train service. 1t is proposed to
restore old Nos. Z and s, which were pulled
off. several years ago, and run one section
of the Overland Flyer as these trains. The
object of the change is the increased pas
senger traffic which has been exceptionally
heavy this spring.

COST OF KEEPING INDlCEN1S
Official Figures Prepared by the State
Examiner of Wyoming,
DECREASE OF EXPENSE IN FIVE YEARS
Statement showing the Cost of Mnin-
tanning County Governments In
wyoming-Gossip Concerning
Proposed New Railroad.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., May 11.-(Special)-
State Examiner II. b. Henderson has pre-
pared a very interesting statement which
shows the cost of maintaining the poor and
pauper population Of the state. According
to these figures the cost of keeping the in
digents has decreased more than IS 5000 dur
ing the last five years. During the year 1894
$3.50 0 was expended by the state for the
poor and pauper. In 1895 they cost S27,-
242, 23; 1896, $25, 1925; 1897, $2i,267.5S, and
in 1898. SIC, 951.22. a large per cent OF the
poor and pauper OF the state are found in
the southern portion along the line OF the
Union Pacific railroad. This Is caused by
the falling by the wayside of transcontinen-
tai travellers who are found In almost all of
the towns along the railroad. However, TIE
proportion of indigents among actual resi-
dents in the southern portion of the state
is no larger than in the northern half OF
Wyoming. The number of poor and pauper
in the state will not average FIVE to each
county.
The cost OF maintaining the several county
governments within the state, as shown by
a statement filed with the governor today,
was as follows. 1894, 1858. 306. 52; 1896,
$342, 276.51; 1896, SS46, 425. S5; 1897, $685.
$50. 49,; 1898, 1921, 210.71. The years 1894,
1896 and 1898 being election years the ex-
pense was naturally greater on those years
than on nonelection years. That for 1898
was the smallest during Wyoming statehood
and Is attributed to reductions in the salar-
les Of officers, the consolidation of the work
of county officers, economy in public gov
eminent and the exercise and application of
husinesa methods
