A coterie of congenial spirits were silting
in ono of the loading clubs the other evening ,
after the theater , discussing all manner of
subjects when thu question of superstition
came up , as such uucstlons will sometimes.
Ono of the company , nn actor of excellent
reputation , being asked whether It was true
that actors and actresses were moro supersti
tious than any other people , rcplloil :
"I really don't know. 1 don't know as
many people outside as I do In thu theater ,
or at least 1 don't know 'em so well. I ilon't
imagine , however , that they nro any moro so
than others. Considerable attention bus been
directed to their notions , though , for two ica-
sons. First , people scorn to like to talk about
and to hear about nctoi-j. I never could tell
Just wny. And secondly , these superstitions ,
naturally enough many ot them relate to the
theater , and everybody likes to hour about
thotitagn , which fact is readily understood.
"There uro u good many actors who are superstitious
'
perstitious and many'who nro not. At least
they uro not moro so than Is almost every body
else. Very few people nro entirely fire
from superstition , 1 limey , but nearly all of
us have pot notions ubont luck and a sneaking -
ing belief in what is culled the superiiutui-.il.
"I remember a letter that Frank Kvnus
wrote sonm time " he
ace , con
tinued with u chuckle In reply
to nn Invitation .somebody had ex
tended to him to Join the Thirteen club of
Now York. Frank said ho wouldn't for any
pecuniary consideration sit down with twelve
other persons at table , and if he should hap
pen to sit down unknowingly and should
spill suit , ho would throw somu of It over
his loft shoulder. And ho went on nnd told
liow he shuddered a * , seeing the. now moon
over his loft shoulder , because ho knew ho
would huvo no luck for the rest ot the mouth ;
ami how ha wouldn't turn und go bark into
the house after starting out ; and hnwhuwas
n slave to nil thu old women's notions lie had
over hoard , for which reason ho didn't think
ho would bo happy In the club.
"IMxoy , too , Is an ardent bcllovcr. As you
know , ho is u great curd player , but it Is a
fact that if some ono Hboiiid touch one of his
cards ufti'r they are dealt , ho will nuike tlio
hand a Jack pot. Ho ulwnvs prefers to lese
tlio Hrst pot no Is Interested In and will never
sit hi a game with u ono-cyed man.
" 1 am told that Frank Daniels la steeped In
superstition anil attributes all his success to
the llguro which does service as tlio hoodoo in
'Little Puck. ' When ho played Old Sport ,
the dog Humlsonio was his particular rlr.irm ,
and ho mourned for weeks after ho loft Hoyt [
over the loss of the dog , not because ho loved 1
the ugly brute , hut bcciiu.su his cauhio majesty
brought him luck. Long ooforv , when ho

Ifi,000,000 Imvo moro or less timber.
There are ( iOO streams already mod to

the streams of Wyoming furnish water
enough to irrigate IS to " 0 per cent of

The lust census gave Wyoming a pop
ulation of 70,000 , and shows that she has
the smallest percentage of illiteracy of
tiny political division of the United
.States. The people uro generally Young ,
vigorous , industrious , and of n much
higher character than upon some occa
sions has boon ungenerously suggested.
There is nn honor , a friendship between
man and man in Wyoming that you will
travel many and many a thousand
miles in the east to liml surpassed. A
man's word , the grusp of ti hnndbotwo.cn
Wyoming men comes nearer being a
pledge that will never bo broken than
the exchange of similar greetings
among any class of men whom I ever
mot before in all my travels up and
down this big , wide world. Not only
was this a feature observed by mvsolf ,
but one referred to over and over by
scores of people whom [ met from other
and particularly far eastern states , and
who had been .spending much time
among Wyoming clti/otis.
Yes , Integrity and squareness call it
what you will , is a prominent feature in
Wyoming life.
In proportion to her population
and developed resources Wyoming
has the finest , most extensive credit
of any state in tlio union. The
mercantile agencies of the United
Stnses will toll you that , as a rule , the
individual credit of Wyoming men is
rated higher than that of the average
New York. Massachusetts , Ohio , Illi
nois or Indiana men.
A KkATTKIUNd U.VIUIOAD I'lTl'ItU.
Wyoming has a bright and exceed
ingly bonolicial railroad future before
hoi1 , and the huz/.ing wheels and shriek
ing whistles of this railroad future is
already hoard in many parts of
the state. The Union Pacific runs
ever 600 miles through bouthorn
Wyoming. The Denver 1'aoillo branch
runs south from Cheyenne ; also
the Colorado Central. The Cheyenne
< fc Northern runs north from Cheyenne ,
and its survey that is to bo built with
the coining of spring penetrates the
very center of that most promising of
entrepreneurs , as bo is called , 1ms given
strict orders never to sell the llwt ticket for
a new play to a woman , and that a deadhead

to enter the house at any performance.

in some of its minor feature. } .
For ever a year tlio author 1ms been work
ing upon the comi'dy and to my certain
knowledge it has been named u half dozoa
times , but none seem so apropros as the pres
ent title , "An Absent-Minded Man. " The
humor throughout is suggestive of Frank
Stockton and F. Anstoy , the author of "VIco
Versa'1 and "The Fallen Idol.1 And yet it is
thoroughly unllko anything they have done.
Dramatic situations have not been aimed ut ,
the evident Intention of the pl.iywriirht being
to tell a simple story of love la u homely man

which all of us love to recall , especially those

The leading nnd In every respect find
for very many rotisons the most advan

Casper. Ills the western terminus of
the Fremont , Klkhnrn and Missouri
Hlver railroad , and the county scut ot
Natron a county.
From thifl point I sot out for what
proved to l > o onoof the most interesting
and valuable overland trips of all my
wanderings over the sago brush plains
anil grand old mountain" of the great
state.
Su unto was just drivinir the mists
from thu mountain tops as 1 whirled
out of town in a strong spring wagon
behind a team of standard bred step
pers , whoso superior qualities chal
lenged comparison with any four-footed
travelers 1 had ever seen.
My companions wore Mr. W. E. Hawley -
ley , mayor of Casper , president of the
bonrd of trade , and a gentleman of wide
and thorough acquaintance with the
country for hundreds of miles around ,
lioiug an old fiicnd and ascnlci'tnining
a man as I over met , I had the assur
ance that the trip would be , as I have
inforied , a particularly enjoyable one.
The reins were in possession of an old
and well posted traveler of the "sago
brush country , " named Frank Clerk ,
and a belter driver I never saw.
Our load was a heavy one , for , in ad
dition to tlio three persons in the party
wo carried provisions and feed sulllciont
for four days , an entire camping outfit ,
a Winchester'10-00 rillc and a big sup-
lily of ammunition.

Striking the trail beyond the river ,
and rounding a chain of foot , hills. I
found that we were skimming across
what seemed a sea of sand whoso
north and westerly borders seemed
to meet the sky more than
a , hundred miles distant. But
presently the trail described sev
eral long sharp angles and brought us
among1 lesser foothills. As wo drove
no a gentle incline and touched the
summit of lesser mountains wo found
oursolf face to face with a drove of
nearly a thousand antelope , about two
hundred yards distant. Head and
ears high with curious wonderment ;
their delicate noses in motion trying to

his appearance hero and create * consterna

the heart story is developed , with the scent
of clover anil the tinkling of cowbells fur
nishing the highlights to a pretty pastoral

darkest for Kity , when the old house in
which she was horn Is about to bo sold by
Grim and she is to bo turned adrift on the
cold charity of the world , Sum
Ilurdish , a farm hand , plows up
the ancient tin box , which reveals
the pcrildy of Grim toward Kitty's father ,
vesting in her all the right and interest to
tha farm hi addition to tunny shares of valu
able mining stock. And tno lovers united
and everybody happy , the curtain descends
upon a very pretty sunset scene , which , If

admirers of a high class of music , assembled
in Mr. Julius Meyer's bachelor apartments to
listen to the premier rehearsal of a new quin-
totto club nnd with proper ceremony christen
the now-oorn. From a Hrst rehearsal It is
usually very hard to Judge of the merits of
any organization , but the work of the club
Friday was musicianly to u degree. Mr.
Jacob Ueuter , who is Hrst violin , nnd a new-
coiner to Ontuhn , Is Ilia nest violinist located
in this city since rJahan Frunko's time. His
technique isudniirublo.whllo his intoprctution
of the great tone masters shows him to bo u
more than ordinary artist. Ills playing is
full of sweetness and fervor , oven poetical ,
and the musio-lovlng-pcoplo of the city are to
be congratulated on ue < | idriug so conscien
tious a musician. Mr. Hugo Toll , the second
violin , while yet ul'.uung man , already shows
unmistakable slims of great ability. Hois
enthusiastic. In lovfwith his instrument , nnd
Is u valuable acquisition to the club.
Louis Hisclior , * the viola , appreciates
the possibilities of lib Instrument and liuv-
ing received his traiillng in the bojt French
schools , greatly strengthens the organization.
S. U , Letovsuy , will.pluy 'cello with the club
and a bettor selection could not hnvo been
muilu. Ho Is u cfost ) student , and beyond
question the best 'colloist Omaha has over
hail. Mr , Martin Culm , completes the organ
ization. For yeiirjJMr , Culm bus been ao-
credited the loading pianist of thu metropolis ,
having been hoard in concerts and recitals
without number and always displaying n
rare musical eulturq which could only Imvo
been acquired by association with the world's
great masters. Hii technical knowledge ,
not alone of tlio piano , but of nil tlio instru-
incuts , will boot great service to the club ,
giving to the work a Havor which will ho
mint delightful.
During the rehearsal tlio "Molto Lento , " of
A. Rubinstein , an uxqui.sito composition In
which the mute play.4 a prominent iiart , the
"Faust Fantnslu"'uy Sarnsuto , the first
movement from Hummel's concerto , n duet
by Allan , and the Hoyden symphony , No. 11 ,
gavu the auditors an opportunity to JnUL'o of
the merits of the now organization. With ono
or two moro rehearsals the club will-hi ) in u
txijltion to glvo a classical programme , ren

in view of the well Known secrecy of
oilmen regarding their improvements
I did not bucomu olTondod in the least
nor did I waste any ttmo wondering
what my frlond. Mayor Hawley , mount
by tolling mu , when wo arrived nt the
much soculatod ] upon phico of work ,
that ho was sorry that It was impossible
for him to give mo any more privileges
in the way of going into the rig the
derrick , etc. , tliau those who had
been kept away.
rnforUmntoly for the porscrvntion
of this syndicate secret the well Is in a
sharp bond of the stream known as Salt
Crook from which this portion of the
oil Hold derives its name. In close
proximity nice nro lutmorous deep ra
vine * , gulches , etc. During our stay In
the vicinity Mr. Hawley had
business with the superintendent
whoso house is situated n little to the
south of tno oil well. While ho was
closeted with the olllcial I took a detour
tour out' from our camp which was
quarter of n mlle distant from the well.
After considerable dodging through ra
vines , over liUlohllls. etc.'and by keep
ing tin oyeou the only door of the super
intendent's house 1 llnul'y ' got up to the
derrick and looked in. The Hrst
thing , however , that gained my atten
tion upon getting very near to the well
was n hissing sound like that of escap-
iiiL' strain , My glance within the derrick -
rick revealed the cause. Tlio well
had llowcd , sure enough. It hml
been plugged up ; ns much as possible
perhaps but not sullleicntly. Oil was
bubbling up around the edges
of the plug and off onto the
the ground to waste. Judging by the
hissing noisd that it made the true
force of the natural pressure must bo
something tcrrilllc. The oil was of u
light green color , porhnus nearly as
liquid as water , and in everyway closely
resembled the best crude petroleum
which I have seen come from the Penn
sylvania Holds. Work had evidently
ceased in connection with the boring.
The stationary engine which stood a
few feet distant was "dead , "
and evidently him not been
running for some time. The
derrick was about llfty feet in hcigth ,
and plainly indicated having been
drenched with oil from top to bottom ,
while the bolting-shod , the engine and
the half of the smoke stack on tlio side
toward the well had , it was plainly to
bo seen , shared in the copious baptism
of oil which unmistakably had sprung
in a stream far above the top of the
derrick.
From what I have learned of
the action and mode of judging of tlio
Pennsylvania wells , as the result of
long talks with leading oil operators in
that state , I was - convinced ,
to the full extent possible
under the circumstance" , Unit
this Salt Crock well had a capacity
of from four to six hundred barrels per
day. This estimate was afterward co
incided in by nn export whom later I
learned had Been the well in action.
The depth of the well could not bo as
certained.
In this connection I will add that
since my return from Wyoming I hayo
learned that the syndicate will begin
boring another well within some thirty
days , mid have lot the contract for
several others on which worlc will com
mence early in the spring.
It is evidently the purpose of the
syndicate to obtain a. surety of a larfo
supply , before putting their product
upon the market , and in order to give
ttiom n leverage for better rates of
transportation , as well ns time in which
to build tank lines. The Chovonno &

The American Pattens' Journal in speak
ing of the walking delegate , says : "Thcro
are but few Institutions connected with the
labor movement that have so much adverse
criticism heaped upoa them as the walking
delegate. If a lockout U inaugurated any
where , the opponents of organized labor say
that the walking dclcguto is at the bottom of
it ; if a strike takes pluce in any trade or
occupation , tbcso who are unfavorably
affected niiso a shout that It was concocted
by the walking delegate , and sigh for his
scalp. And so on to the end of the chapter.
Now , the truth is that not ono hundredth
part of wh.it Is charged against the walk
ing delegate Is true. Ills duties mo
of a manifold anil exacting character.
In the building trades ho is con
stantly on the go to prevent
the infringement ot the rules of his
organization. It may bo that homebody is
working under price , and if MI , that mutter
is checked ; or some member ha ? fallen hi
arrears and refuses to pay up , and ho has to
make a now departure in that respect ; ho
sees that the men uro not imposed upon by
domineering and unfair employers , in u
word , ho is the agent of lib organization.
From all this It will ho seen thut hl duties
nro of n discriminating and unpleasant char
acter ; ho Is regarded with suspicion by
tyrannical employers ; ha has to bear the
sneers of tho-io within his organl/atlon who
would play the pirt that stragglers und de
serters do hi the army , imd ho is u standing
target for kickers. The walking delegate is
to the labor organisation what the missionary
is to the ehurch--ho makes converts und hu
propagates the good work of the organiza
tion. It Is not ut alt surprising , then , that the
walking delegate , or the onjunl/.or It Is not
very material which you call him Is re
garded with such a wholi'somo fear by tlm
enemies of organization. Itnt whllo thowulk-
Ing delegate Is so unpopular with ono cluss ,

an earth covering of a foot or HO in
depth washed from surrounding hill- ,
underlying whicli Is a solid crtist of
soda from two to six feet thick.
The average analysis of this ma
terial shows it to bo about
ninety-live per cent pure , thus giving a
product of great value in the manufac
turing of glass , soup and powdar , and
last but not least , for _ use In rofming oil.
The ease of producing coupled with IN
