The resignation of Governor Warren yesterday planed the reins of the stale government in the hands of Secretary ol State Barber, who becomes toting gov ernor. The case is governed by sections 6 and 7 of article IV of the state constitution. which read as follows: Section 6 the governor be im peached, displaced, resign or die. or from mental or physical disease or otherwise become incapable of performing the duties of his office or be absent from the state, the secretary of state shall act as rnor until the vacancy is filled or the disability removed. Section 7.

any office from any cause becomes vacant and no is provided by the constitution or law for filling such vacancy, the governor shall have power to fill the same by appointment. Secretary Barber therefore becomes acting governor and will continue to serve io that capacity for two years, until the next special election, unless the legislature should authorise the calling of a special election at an earlier date. In the mean time he will serve the state in the dual capacity of governor and secretary, but 1 for his services he will receive unly the salary of secretary. If no election is called it is probable that the legislature will allow him an additional contingent fund for the payment of clerk hire. Probably there never was a man who had greatness thrust upon him more palpably than has Secretary Barber.

He never was a politician or an office seeker. His time was devoted exclusively tJ the practice of medicine and the enthusiastic study of his profession. In the whole northern section no man has ever stood so high as a physician and surgeon He was energetic, capable and competent and the success which he met with was really remarkable. Converse county still swears by Barber in his professional capacity. His nomination was intended as a sort of a blind.

He was not Becking the plaoe and as he was enjoying a lucrative practice the politicians did not believe he would accept the nomination. In the event of his declination it was then the i intention to replace Barber by some one who would carry out whatever pledges Warren would be obliged to make to sesare the senatorship. But Barber fooled them all. Upon the urgent solicitation of bis Douglas friends i he accepted the nomination, and was i elected bv a very large majority. He now stands at the threshold of wnat may be a remarkable political career, but he must work out his own salvation.

Surrounded on all sides by political friends, some of whom are not ovcracnipulous in the methods they may employ to gain an ascendency over him, with the knowledge that pitfalls will be dug for him to get him into the power of the political machine, he will find from the Ver4 beginning that all is not plain sailing, and all is not gold that glitters. Barber's chance will he in being a governor in fact as well as in 1 name; in not trusting too implicitly in the 1 flattery of even political friends, and in being guided by his own strong common sense in placing the good of the whole 1 people and state above all petty schemes for hoodwinking the people and 1 ing the private intervals of individuals or 1 cliques. 4 The Lkadxb a warm side for the new governot. and wishes him well V.

a Luanda! success. This scarcely falls abort of a public outrage. The money realized by the firemen in these is donated to the improvement of the company quarters and in paying such incidental expenses as the council appropriation fails to meet. The balls, therefore, are a light tax upon property owners and it is certainly not creditable to the community that the firemen fail in this recognition. It reflects no credit on Cheyenne's public spirit.

THE DEED IS DONE. We beg leave to call the attention of our Laramie friends to the fact that the apparently impossible has been accomplished as a perusal of the appended document will amplv demonstrate: Stati of Wyoming, 1 Governor's Officr. Cbxtxnnz, November 24, 1890. Hon. Amos W.

Barber, secretary of state, Cheyenne. Wyo. hereby resign the office of Governor of the state of Wyoming. Francis Warrkn. This document was handed in to Bsere tary Barber yesterday afternoon.

Warden bv that time had his commission as United States senator safely stowed away in his inside pocket. To QUOTE the language of the Rawlins Journal: Tom Moonlight is the iridescently dreamful name of Senator Jlgall'h possible Deacon Hayford cheerfully and frankly acknowledges that he has got uvugh. He wan taken in by the statement that Warren want the senaloisbip. and so conferses his obligation to i at crow with all the relish he can assume. According to the Sentinel a queer state if existed Over in Laramie the other evening.

It is described in these words: the reception of legislative news from Cheyenne Tuesday evening, for the lint time in their history the electric lights here refused to give down. We don't know whether Warren's election to the United States senate and M. N. Grant being superintendent of the electric light works had anything to do with it or not, but it was a singular Many old who contracted chronic diarrhoea while iu the service, have since been permanently cured Chamber- Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Jlemedy.

Last Evening Joyfully Spent by Many People. Methodist Entertainment at the Opera House. Fine Supper and Ball Given at Keefe Hall. Opera Honsr Entertainment. The Cheyenne opera house perhaps has never contained a more appreciative or better pleased audience that that which listened last evening to the splendid musical and dramatic programme presented by home talent in aid of the Methodist church building fund.

The oners house stage was. in honor of tbs event, tastefully decorated with plants and flowers, while new furniture for the btage formed a pleasant surprise i for the nabitues of the opera house. The opening number on the programme I was an overture selection from Erminie, beautifully rendered by Mr. Fred Sellick, 81. Mark's well known organist.

Number two was the Quarrel scene from Sheridan's School for Scandal. "Sir Peter Teaszle" was personated by Mr. J. C. Baird, by Mrs.

E. J. Churchill and by Miss Lisle Smith. The secne was presented with fine dramatic spirit. Miss Lizzie Whitcomb sang in a pleas ing manner, the Heart is Miss Ada M.

Williams won unstinted applause by her rendition of the piano solo by Lint. The next number was a unique and entertaining exhibition of Indian club swinging by Misa Ida Crounh. Laura Richardson added to her reputation as a naturally gifted vocalist by her song Me She received a handsome basket of flowers. Part three of the programme opened with a reading by Mrs. E.

J. Churchill entitled and A selection from the writings of Mrs. Browning. Churchill's rendition of the selection was perfect. To repeated encores Mrs.

Churchill recited livelier selections which were enthusiastically received. Mrs. Brewster, who is a favorite with Cheyenne lovers of the best music, re ceived an ovation when she advanced to the footlights. Her telcction, wna highly appreciated. She was presented with a magnificent bouquet of cut flowers.

Prof. Hutchinsjn's violin solo, "Souvenir de was highly enjoyable. Mrs. song, showed the capabilities of her voice to advantage, and she sustained her reputation as a vocalist of high ability and finished training. Part four obthe programme, closing number, was an exhibition of Delsarte posing by Mrs.

Churchill, Mrs. U. W. Walker and Miss Ophelia Allison, assisted by girls from the Central school. The positions of the central figures were extremely graceful and poetical, and the whole number formed a novel and pleasing picture.

The accompanists in the musical portion of the entertainment were Miss I venn Baker, Mias Maude Johnston, Prof. E. J. Pasmore and Prof. Geo.

Inman. Chicken Hupper. The chicken supper served last night by the ladies of the Presbyterian church was a great success. Three suppers were served from until 12 o'clock and over 200 people were at the tables during the evening. Mrs.

Morgan managed an able corps of assistants and everyone was served promptly and in spite of the crowd there was do confusion. The financial results Vety nearly SIOO being realised from the suppers and the sale of aprons. After the entertainment at the opera house those who took part at the performance took supper at the Keefe hall dining rooms, which were afterwards thronged by participants in the firemen's ball. The Hall. but not the least of the amusements of last evening was the twelfth biennial ball of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder company at Keefe hall.

Although the number present was not as large as should be yet those who did attend bad a remarkably good time and the dancing was kept up until after midnight. Splendid music was furnished by the Thalia orchestra numbering seven pieces. The arrangement was H. E. Welinitz, Wm.

G. Messersmith, L. E. Roe, J. Lynch and H.

Sage. The reception committee was J. Dillman, P. 8. Cook.

P. Warlaumont, M. P. Hannifin and J. Thompson.

The floor committee was Ed Lawler, D. H. McGregor, J. P. Jensen and M.

More Into the Even good in ibis worid cannot be done without a struggle, for we urge ourselves often into doing what is beat for health and comfort, when we could do the best even without effort. To convince others and to pereaude them, we should use the arguments which influence our own judg meat. For example: the ills of suffering humanity should be relieved promptly and permanently. There is but one way of doing ho, and that is by procuring the surest remedy.

Some remedies are good, others are better, but long experience and undoubted proof point to only one as the best. There is no questioning this fact in the treatment of and and when the advertisements of St. Jacob's Oil. which have commenced for the their appearance in the columns of this paper, catch the eye, the best certainly stands revealed The great remedy for pain holds the confidence of the public, and has done so these many, many years, and it is truly worthy of it HAVE YOU A COMPENDIUM OF COOKERY?

A 14-year-old boy who gave his name as Ijanning and his residence as Lusk, Wyoming, was arrested a few days ago at Omaha while negotiating for the purchase of several revolvers and a supply of am munition. He bad several hundred dollars on his person which was taken from him by the authorities who irchased a ticket for him and sent him to Lusk.
