Bedight stopped, looking around eau

His Honor, the Mayor, hesitated for
moment-and then, throwing con-

through. The girl turned the key in
the lock and faced him accusingly.

cHAFING DISH SUGGESTIONS.

The many valuable uses to which
the chatting dish may be put has been
oft told in song and story, but there
is none so valuable as that which
gladdens the heart of our conva-
descent. His appetite may be stimu-
lated by some delicate morsel which
he will enjoy all the more intensely
because he has watched the process
of cooking. In the home where there
is an invalid, the chatting dish is al
most Indispensable.
With the chatting dish, which may
be as simple or as fine as the purse
allows, one always likes a few pretty
pitchers, small bowls, dainty jars and
dishes to hold the materials to cook,
as well as the condiments and season
ings. Measuring spoons and cups are
indispensable, as accuracy is as es-
sential in chatting dish cookery as in
any other.
Anchovy Toast.-Toast four slices
of bI cad from which the crusts have
been removed spread with anchoyy
paste. Scald a cup of milk, add two
egg yolks and stir until the mixture
thickens. Beat the whites of two
eggs until stiff, add the thickened
milk, beat thoroughly and pour over
the toast
Toast dipped in egg and milk and
fried in bit of butter is a fayorite
way of serving bread.
FrizzIed Beef.-Take a few slices of
dried beef, cover with boiling water
and let stand ten minutes. and drain.
Melt two tablespoonful of butter in
the blazer, add two tablespoonfuls OF
-four, and pour on gradually one cup
of milk. Season with salt and pep
per; reheat the beef in the sauce, and
pour over strips of toasted bread. A
yolk of egg may be added, if wanted
richer.
Hash balls may be Drowned and
served hot from the chatting dish. One
of the charms of chatting dish cookery
is that it is served hot from the

Miss Regina Jensen was up in
the balcony in the opera house on
Thursday evening about $50 and
as the lower windows come over
the floor of the balcony she could
look out. One of the windows

she leaned out over it and the
catch gave away throwing her to

She struck on her face and hands
and for a while it was thought
that she was seriously hurt, bat il

Wedding the 4th.

Two young people in this vicin-
ity celebrated the 4th by getting
married. These two young peo-
pie were Miss Mable Pearce and
Frank Kennaday. They were un.
tied in marriage by Rev. r. g,
Hamilton at the home of the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. @,
A. Kennaday, on Cedar creek. A
number of the young friends and
the family relatives of both par
ties were present.
Mrs. Kennaday, the bride, has
resided here for several years,
coming to this locality when quite
small. She was schooled here
and has been a very prominent
member of the girls basket ball
team and has many friends.
Frank Kennaday is a very quiet
boy, having been raised in this
section and is . hustler, as we'll as
being sober and well liked. The
young couple will reside for a
while On the ranch of ]. w. Ken
naday on Cedar creek.

others, and then the wedding par

Big CELEBRATIONS
ons at Laramie on the End, ard and I'll,
and One ct Elk Mountain the 4th and

Laramie City did herself prou,
in her big celebration there OF
the End, Bird and 4th. The pro

were good and the crowd wa
about all. the city could handl,
nicely. There was not a hitch il
the entire arrangements and every
one has nothing but the highest
praise for that fine city as we'll az
the committee in charge.
@. A. Cook, of Brush creek,
took his two running horses over
to Laramie but was not very sue
cessful in the races as was looked
forward to by those interested
here. Mr. Cook has some fine
horses but as yet they are young.
The Elk Mountain celebration
was a success in every way and all
enjoyed every minute of the en-
tire day. Big display of fire
works at night besides dances and
shows. The afternoon program,
both days, was we'll attended and
was very interesting.
Don. McPhail, Jr., Chas. Nc
Phail, Miss Marion McPhail all
took part, al we'll as the running
stock which was in charge of Bob
Mccoy. The young colt broken
out less than two months ago, by
Mccoy, proved to be the best that
was shown there and took the
quarter-mile dash the first day
and the half-mile dash the second
day and made good time for the
track.
At this distance we are unable
to get full particulars of either
the Laramie or Elk Mountain
celebrations, outside of the gener-
al information and those reports
carried the fact that one was as
good as the other for the size of
the population and that both were

COLORADO NORTHERN
Persistent Rumor That There 10 More
Behind the Big Project Than
First Cleaned.

1t is now an assured fact tina
French capitalists are on tn
ground at Hayden, Colorado
looking over the proposed projec
in which they expect to inves
some $2S. OOO, 10000. This pro
ject looked at first to be a little
out of keeping at this time but
closer investigation proves that
there is indeed a big movement
on foot that is beginning to as
sumo into a possibility.
The proposition is to build a
railroad some Ito miles In length
to connect with the Moffat line at
Hayden coming up into the an
thracite coal fields in California
park, on the Continental divide,
and thence over to Encampment
taking in the 8. d E. and connect
ing with the U. p. at Walcott, and
on up to Casper to connect with
the Burlington and Northwestern
roads. This will give three trans
continental connections to supply
coal to every part of the western
states and to any point in the Un-
tied States. By connecting with
the Mofat they can go either way
to most any terminal. By con-
Meeting with the Union Pacific
they can ship to any point east or
west, and at Casper, where they
connect with the Northwestern
and Burlington, they can ship
esst north or south reaching other
pig consuming points.

nix Mountain had a splendid
4th of July celebration and a very
large crowd was here on July 4th
and 9Th. Everything on the pro-
gram was carried out and more
besides. The races were fine.
Saratoga and Dave West carried
off the big money. The McPhails
had some good horses. The small
sports we're hugely enjoyed and
caused much amusement. Joe
Graham is sure the funny fellow.
The fat mans race was won by
Hon. F. Q. Hunter, and r. D.
Meyers, who was in the race, was
the cause of it. The Col. was
afraid r. d. might step on him
and he ran like a scared rabbit.
