Granted Special Privilege.
Saturday morning the mayor, Mr.,

ing a pavilion around the fountain,
which is in the center of the city park,

town. This show pavilion is now fin
ished, is s~even-sided, with a table two
feet wide all around and two feet from
the ground. Back of this is a wall six
feet higher, with a total length of eigh-
ty-four feet, upon which to display the
grains, grasses, peas, etc, and the
whole is neatly covered with white

sand people in the park and around the
square, and our exhibits have already
been seen by a host of people. The
Laramie brick and Sherman gravel are
being shown in a large window, but all
were installed together in the pavilion
Monday morning.
Genuine Cowboys.

cowboys usually seer in this county
are fakes, and the gentlemanly fellows
making up the bunch of real ones here
today are being appreciated and fav-
orably commented on by the good peo-
pie of Chillicothe. Their first show
will be given Tuesday afternoon, i'm
mediately after the speech by Cover
nor Folk.
Not Wyoming Weather.
There is rain today and Missouri
mud. While the natives are congratu-
lating themselves that the air is cool
and fine, it is damp, hot and sticky to a
Wyomingite. However, we are here to
