ate. This may be changed so far ns tho
chief clerkship Is concerned by tho substi
tution of J. W. Cono of Sioux Falls instead
of Dower. On this proposition there will
bo a contest between tho Ulnck Hills sec
tion and tho eastern part of tho ntato. It
Is nllcgod that Uowor has pledges of sup
port from seven out of tho nlno members
from the Hills for the clerkship nnd If this
is nil they ask for, It will gtvo him n strong
leverage. On tho other hand, It Is nlso al
leged that Cono has tho solid support of
Minnehaha county, and this would bo
strongly lm his favor, but It Is also asserted
that this support to Cono tins a number of
strings to it, which nro being held by tho

Indications nt tho present tlmo nro that
such an appropriation will bo hard to se
cure. Tho necessary appropriations of tho
session will bo largo and will carry tho ap
propriations to about tho highest notch
which thoy hnvo over reached, and tho Im
mense republican majority will feel that
they will havo enough to account for In
this lino without any extraordinary ex
penditure, Tho chances nro that tho lobby
which will bo hero for that purposo will bc

To Ilevlve the Gnnrd.
Among tho measures which will bo pro-
scntod at tho coming session will no doubt
bo ono for tho reorganization of tho stnto
mllltla. Tho organization went to pieces
when most of tho mombers of tho guard
went to tho front ns tho First South Da
kotn, and tho governor nnd adjutant general
have discouraged any reorganization slnco
tho return of that reglmunt. Just what
moasures will bo tnkon havo not as yet
been outlined, but thero Is no question that
such a bill will bo passed

As yot tho membcrs-olect from tho lllnck
Hills to tho lcglslnturo havo not departed
from tholr determination to send Congress
man Garublo to tho sonate. Letters aro be
ing received jvery day from tho wire-pullers
on tho other sldo of tho river urging
tho election of Klttredgo nnd others, but
they nro having llttlo effect. In Deadwood
It Is known that K. C. Phillips Is strongly
ln favor of tho election of KIttrcdge. Somo
of tho Black Hills members-elect havo re
ceived overtures from friends ot Judge II.
II. Keith ot Sioux Falls, who Is going to
bo pushed hard by thoso who opposo Klt

Tlio question of establishing an experi
mental station at a point In the lllnck Hills
Is being ngltntcd ngnln. It Is argued that
tho only Institution of Its kind Is located
at Brookings, tn n cltmato and altitude rad
ically different than tn tho Black Hills,
which would mako tho experiments Imprac
ticable to this part of tho stnto. A peti
tion has been circulated rxtenstvoly among
tho fnrmcni ln tho northern hilts and It
will bo presented to the legislature.
When It comes tlmo for tho nppointment
ot n commandant for tho Soldiers' homo nt
Hot Springs tho friends of Dr. A. S. Stowart
of that city will push his claims to tho
position. Dr. Stewart was especially Influ
ential In getting tho first bill through tho
last territorial lcglslnturo establishing tho
homo twelvo years ago. Ho has n strong
following at Hot Springs and Is a general
favorito nmonc tho Inmates at tho home.
Oppose Iloiinty Appropriation.
CHEYBNNK, Wyo., Dec. 11. (Special.)
In all probability an Interesting light will
bo waged at tho coming session of the legis
lature over tho proposed wolf bounty ap
propriation. For several years the lcgls
lnturo has appropriated sums varying from
$10,000 to $35,000 to bo used In paying
bounty on predatory wild animals killed
within tlio stnto. Each appropriation was
fought vigorously by mo nowspnpers of
Chcyenno, Laramie, Rawlins nnd Rock
Springs on tho ground thnt ns no ono but
tho stockman would bo benefited by kill
lng off wild animals, tho stock Interests
should stand tho expenso of making wnr
on tho pests and tho same should not bc
assessed ngalnst tho merchant and shop
man ot tho cities and towns. As n rule
tho lcglnlaturo ot Wyoming Is mndo up
chiefly of men who nro Interested tn tho
llvo stock Industry, either directly or In
directly, nnd It has been a comparatively
easy matter to pass tho wolf bounty ap
propriation bill. Tho stockmen may ox
pcrlcnco somo difficulty this year, however,
as a determined fight Is already bolng made
by somo ot tho largest and most tnflucn
tlal republican papers of tho stato, nnd
when tho bounty bill Is presented It will
meet with dccldcdopposltlon.
