Unusua, Morality at Cheyenne

Unusual Morality at Cheyenne
Cheyenne papers depict a state of
unusual morality in their city, the
cops having the greatest difficulty in
even finding a common case Of drunk
and disorderly. Added to this a union
revival service has been inaugurated
and will be continued for a number of
weeks. There is growing evidence
that the Cheyennese are trying hard
to be real good-at least until after
the capital removal scheme has been
lost in the after-election November
echoes.-Wheatland World.

New Machinery at Power House.

During the winter months the power
house of the O. d G. Electric Co, has
been thoroughly overhauled and put in
first class condition. For the next six
months it will practically take care of
itself and what is better, there is a
provision for fifty per cent increase in
both power and light without overtax-
ing any part.
A high speed automatic engine for
railway service has been installed which
in connection with new 100 X. w.
generator furnishes power to the cars.
The engine is Skinner 14O H. p. The
old Fisher is maintained as reserve in
case of accident.
On the lighting side, one the Lansing
tandem compound engines, 14x21x2O
inches cylinders, has been placed on a
new foundation and rebuilt. With a
1870 generator installed last fall it takes
care of the light,easily. The old genera
tor, go K. W., is in reserve.
A heater and boiler feed pump have
been put in the boiler room. The result
of all these improvements is that the
coal consumption of the plant, since
March had decreased by half. Instead
of being the biggest coal consumer in
the city as formerly, the power house
has dropped to third or fourth place.

Current Topic Club.

At the invitation of Mrs. w. Z. Col
Inns the club met at her home Monday
afternoon to observe Presidents day.
A most enjoyable afternoon was passed
After short time spent in social con-
verse, the programs for the coming year
were given out. The attractive outline
for study as well as their artistic ap-
pearance called forth much enthusiasm.
They also contain fine portrait of Mrs.
Josephine Gould, president of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs.
A short business session. was held and
delegates were elected to attend the
State Federation to be held at Bay City
next October. Mrs. Clayton Loring and
Mrs. T. o. Christian will represent the
club. Mrs. James Mcbride and Mrs. E.
o. Dewey were elected alternates.
AS part of the afternoons entertain
ment, Mrs. Collins had prepared a
unique game, English History as repre-
sented by the Current Topic Club.
Cards were given out containing ques-
tions on English history, which were to
be answered by some name of an active
member. For time all were kept busy
racking their brains for dates, names
and incidents. Of the six ladies who
succeeded in answering the questions
correctly, Mrs. Albert Todd drew the
lucky number and was presented with a
beautiful copy of Shakespeare's Julius
Caesar.
At small tables the ladies were invit.
ed to find their places which were indi'
Gated by cards illustrating the subjects
of their papers of the past year, which
had been artistically painted by Miss
Mamie Todd.
A dainty luncheon was served after
which the guests fingered, loath to sepa-
rate after so fitting closing of the club
year.

Common Council.

Bids for the Dewey, Comstock, Mason
and Oliver streets sewers will be read
vertised for, as the lowest bid submitted
to the common council last Monday
evening was 5000 above the estimate.
The bid was by G. Fl. Kaumerer, of Port
Huron for $56S7 30.
All bids were closely scrutinized, and
that sent in by the Garlock Packing Co.
for $50 40 had per cent, or 81 cents
removed from it, although the ten days
time allowed had long since passed.
A resolution to pay election helpers an
extra 50, making 81 in all for the days
work was laid on the table, Aid. Rigley
voting against it. City Engineer John
Rosevear's bill for $12 for extra services
during the flood was held out for in
vestigation.
The Silsby fire engine, which has been
lying in pieces in a shed near the city
hall, and gradually becoming worthless.
will be assembled and placed in the city
hall. '
In an endeavor to rearrange the city's
business so that pressing bills could be
paid, Aid. Lamfrom introduced reso-
luton placing 1904 in the fire fund
81, O79 in the highway, and reducing the
sidewalk fund deficit to $1,000. The
resolution was later withdrawn as the
funds may not be rearranged, without
mourning severe penalties except at the
end Of the fiscal year Oct. 1.
