Painting Grubb.

Do you know Geo. Grubb, of
the Saccharine Village? He is
a unique character and his
tongue runs more regularly,
rapidly and longer than the
machines and clocks that he
thinkers. No story is so tough
that he quailes before it, but a
drop of blood always fetches
him up like a cadaver, for he
keels over and faints every
time. A few days since lie was
sitting on the banks of Salt
Rlv er chasing the tinny tribes.
The weather was warm and he
pulled his shoes off for comfort
and just then he had a nibble
that turned into a bite, the bite
into a big jerk and the jerk did
not land a bass, but drove the
fish hook into his big toe. He
saw the blood and knew it was
time to faint, but at the same
time he sawa SOW and before
he could faint the thought, "it l
faint that blasted hog will eat
me up" struck him and for the
first time in his life, he put off
the fainting bu slness for anoth-
er time when there would be
no hogs around,

so much stress is laid, has con

Thursday afternoon Will B.
t'ahy brought a curiosity to
the office. 1t was brass disc
with a hole in the centre. The
edge was milled and there was
a raised milled edge around the
hole, On one side OF the disc
was John @. Breckenridge 1860,
and on the other Joseph Lane
1860. 1t is supposed to be an
old time campaign badge as a
hole was in it near the edge
evidently for a ribbon to pass
through. 1t was found in the
ground in the front yard of John
Fahy, at Sidney by one of his
children.

Human Nature in the Trust

1t has been predicted of the
billionand a-halt steel trust
that it would never make the
mistake of exercising it's tenn.
porary power over the industry
to lift up prices arbitrarily or
otherwise, but would keep
prices down and encourage the
largest consumption. This
would seem to be good policy
even for an all-powerful mo
nopoly. But the big trust like
the others, canuot resist the
temptation. aud steel rails &C
cordingly are marked up 50 a
ton which the tariff protects
the trust in doing.
The Iron Age scolds the trust
aud says it's action is in direct
conflict with general ex-
peCtation in the trade that the
trusts policy would be better
service improved quality and
lower prices" But there was
the protective tariff and here
was the power, and what is a
trust for, any way?-From the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The government gets the cred.
it for the success achieved in
war, the military officers get
the credit for the deeds done by
the armies in the field, the
trusts and the franchise hunters
reap the benefits derived from
the newly annexed territory
and the taxpayers foot all the
bills. From this it will be seer
that war and conquest are very
excellent things ,-Quincy Jour

p ONE
MONTH MORE OF WORK TO BE
DONE ON THE BIG
TUNNEL.
Rate Of Progress is Such That the End
Of the Contract is Now in Sight
Eastward Toward the Cities From
Which They Were Brought.

A contractor from Sherman Hill who
il in the city today states that if the
present rate of progress is maintained
the tunnel will be completed in anoth-
CT month. The work is now in a cry
satisfactory condition, and the end of
the enormous scheme of improvement
on the hill is now actually in sight.
Engineer Dunlap is looking every
day for the notice of the shipment of
the rails to be used on the cutoff.
Should fair weather continue there will
be no delay in laying the track.
With the cessation of work on the
hill there will be a still further exodus
of graders, and Laramie will be in a
sense much relieved. The laborers
imported from the east have been
gradually disappearing these past
three months. Nearly every day
around the Union Pacific depot in Lar
annie there are throngs Of men who
carry huge bundles and speak in
strange tongues. They board east
bound trains, amid much gesticulation
and great uncertainty of conduct.
They do not know whether they are
going east or west, till the agents in
charge of them explain. They do not
know much OF anything, except that
their work is ended. They are grad
ers.
The graders have been a class in
Wyoming the past two years. They
have been recruited from all n%ationali-
ties and from the ragtag of the unem-
ployed in great cities. Amazing figures
ere given out by the contractors who
have had the mammoth Union Pacific
improvements in hand. 1t is said that
in a little less than two years 10000
mel have been brought gu here from
the centers of population in the east
and middle west. Chicago has been
the chief source of this enlistment. OF
the 10000 men an average Of 5000 has
be en- kept at work on the grade. These
are amazing figures, but they are
vouched for. The few thousand who
have stayed at work have been the for
eigners, mostly. The others have
worked a little while and then have
drifted. The police court in Laramie
which before the Union Pacific i'm
provements were begun barely paid ex-
penses. has been a profitable institu-
ton In the past ten years. 1t has SEEM
ed at times as if the flotsam and jet
san Of the world had been suddenly
dumped into Wyoming. Petty crime
increased and the jails have been fill
ed. 1t has been for many a month a
distinct and vital problem what to do
with the worthless and vicious men
who have been dumped into this city

NEW STAGE LINE FROM
WAlCOTT TO THE MINES

AS related in The Republican sever
al days ago, the town of Walcott is
looking up and becoming ambitious. It
is the most convenient shipping point
for the mines of the Grand Encamp,
ment and Battle Lake districts, and the
increasing number of ore wagon
trains gives the station an air of livli,
ness.
1t now appears that Walcott will be
the starting point Of a e. stage line,
Luke VOORHEES,, of Cheyenne; Sisson
& Blackhall, Of Saratoga: Rendle
Bros, of Rawlins and Orville & Serb,
ner, of Fort Steele are figuring on the
job. This line will shorten the dis.
lance by several miles and it is
thought by a great many that after the
passenger line is put on. the mail will
be sent via Walcott instead of Fort
Steele as at present.
