New Wyoming Mining Districts.

A company is said to be preparing
to open up large coal deposits in the
Superior mining district in Wyoming,
says the Satl Lake Tribune. The dis.
trict is said to have connection with
the Union Pacific railroad and the out
put probably will be controlled by h a
corporation. Report says hat several
mines will be opened and that they
can be made immediate producers.
Houses are to be erected for the min
ers, and employment can be furnished
800 or 400 men. Years age coal was
mined at Black Buttes, on the Union
Pacific, but the coal was of such an in
ferior quality that it coul not be mar
keted. The coal from the Superior dis
trict is said to be of standard quality.
The coal shortage and the labor trou-
bles at Rock Springs are said to be
the incentive for the new development
work.

NEW MAIN ON
SOUTH SIXTH STREET.

Property owners on south Sixth
street are advocating a new four-inch
water main for their street and there
is considerable probability that it will
be laid. There is at present a three
inch pipe nearly the entire length IF
the street, but it has Deer laid for
about twenty-five years and there is
such a network of small laterals taken
off of it that it is difficult to tell where
they lead to, the pressure on the south
end of the street also being very poor.
1t is understood to be the intention of
the council to allow no connections to
be made to the new main unless it is
known that the laterals are in good
condition and where property owners
are willing to put in good four-inch
laterals they will be given the prefer
ence over all others. If the spirit Of
water improvement continues as it now
seems to be taking hold of the people
it will not be long until we have a fair
ly good system, though still in private
control, with municipal supervision.

which led John Davis to think some
thing was about to happen, as among
the words sent were TRY to fill" and
for the life of him the stock yards su
p~erintendent could see no other mean

confine himself entirely to water. War

Observance in City Tomorrow.

Comrade r. E. Fitch of Custer post
No. l, Grand Army of the Republic,

the department of Colorado and Wyo'
ming, calls attention to the fact that to-
morrow will be the anniversary of the
adoption of the flag of the United
States, which occurred June IA, 1777,
has issued the following appeal for a
display of the flag at every business
house and home tomorrow, and that
every citizen yea "a simple bow of
red, white and blue" during the day:
Flag Day.
After nearly three centuries with
out a flag, the beautiful symbol of
liberty. the stars and stripes, became
flag on June IA, TIT. Today it is
rightly honored by high and low over
this broad land, if not throughout the
gress Of the United States the chaplain
of the house opened the session with
this prayer:
ChapIain's Prayer.
1--WE bless Thee, o God, u Heav,
emily Father, for the spirit of '76, which
moved our fathers to high and holy
resolves, illustrious deeds and glori.
Gus achievements; which gave to us a
government of the people, by the peo,
pie and for the people, and for the old
flag which they carried to victory on
a thousand fields of battle, dear to ev-
cry American heart, emblem of liberty
and freedom, law and order, peace and
good will. God grant that it may
wave on in triumph until every people

and rest u in their sacred rights
under its graceful and protecting
folds; and Thine be the praise through
Jesus Christ, Jul Lord. Amen
Patriotism Shown by All.
"1n army and navy circles all rise to
their feet whenever the 'Star-Spangled
Banner is played, and in. many places
all hats come of at the first bars OF
our national ode. No American, native
or adopted, can demean himself by
such an act. No matter how much
reverence for the flag we older people
may have in our hearts, and how ready
we may feel to fight to prevent any
slight or insult to it, how r the
younger generations to imbibe this
spirit if we do not manifest it in some
visible way? So, then, on tomorrow,
June IA, our flags birthday, let us not
only feel, but express what we feel.
Let flags float everywhere; and if each
and every man, woman, youth and
child will a simple bow of red,
white and blue, what a f1ower-like and
elevating glow of patriotism shall we
present"

AND PEABODY
MEET FACE To FACE.

derer, a Biblical figure which is sup
posed to be Orchards later guide.
Used a Solemn Tone.
The efense had given a solemn tone
to the scene preceding the meeting
between Orchard and Detective Nc
Parland, to whom he confessed, by
showing that Orchard was first illeg-
ally brought to the ~penitentiary and
thrust into almost solitary confine-
ment. His only cell neighbor was Bob
Wetter, a condemned murderer.
Orchard Gives Way.
Then came the first MCFARLAND in
terview and the story of David and
Uriah. Orchard tried to hold back the
tears, but lost the struggle. Tears
streamed from his eyes, and, reaching
for his handkerchief, he buried his
face in his hands.
Richardson Keeps On.
The questions went on m~ercilessly
as before, but it was fully three min
utes before the answers were coming
in the old sure tones. The defense.
carrying the confession forward, tried
to show hat Mcfarland had played a
disreputable part in the Molly Nc
CURES, and that he had promised Or.
chard immunity.
Sought to Attract Attention.
The early part of the examination
as to the S~teunenberg crime was large
~ devoted to an effort to show thai
Orchard had purposely been public in
his actions at Caldwell and sought to
attempt to draw attention to himself
and his crimes.
Had Thought of Suicide.
Orchard, just before the noon ad-
journment, in low, shaken tones, told
of his conversion; how, when in the
penitentiary, he thought of his past
life, he thought of putting himself out
of the way, and that he ought to mako
a clean breast of it all.
Grave Did Not End All.
He said he had come to feel that the
grave did not end all. His story was
told in a hushed court room, the silence
only being broken by the drone Of Or,
chard's voice.
Had Been a Mason.
Orchard also testified that he was :.
Mason when he lived in Canada and a
member of COlborn lodge.
