A MoNoNGALIAN HoSoRED.-From
the daily Trinidad, Colorado, Enter
prise, we learn that James NJ. John
has recently been elected state sena-
tor in Colorado. Mr.. John is q ma
tive of Monongalia and spent his boy
hood in the northern part of the coun-
ty in the cattle business. A few years
ago he went to Chicago to study the
profession of law which had been
the goal Of his ambition from his
childhood. Mr.. John graduated from
the law department of the North
western University in the spring of
1875 and went to Kansas to settle in
practice. Owing to the malarial
climate of Kansas he was compelled
to emigrate to Colorado and since his
residence there he has regaiaed his
health and by close attention to bus
mess has become prominent in his
profession. The position to which
he has been elected is an important
one, as the senate of the state is COM
posed of few members and he is elect
ed for the term Of four years. Mr..
John still remains true to the demo-
cratic principles Of his boyhood and
was elected on the Democratic ticket.
Although the party was defeated in
the state anil in his own district yet
he won the race over his competitor
by large majority. The sons Of old
Monongalia scattered throughout the
broad west are making mark for
themselves and are adding honors to
the county of their nativity. The
many citizens of this county who knew
Mr.. John as boy will feel just pride
in knowing that the ambition which
he then displayed, has been rewarded
and we feel assured that he will yet
honor himself and old Monongalia.

WEST VIRGINIA CONFERENCE This

vised as to what business it has
transacted, though rumor has it that
Rev. Snodgrass, of Wheeling, will be
the pastor here. Rev. S. Steele will
go to Wheeling and Rev. Ryan to
Grafton. Further than this we have
no news from conference.

THERE has been numerous changes
in the clerkships of our neighboring
counties. In Marion Mr.. Clearance
l.. Smith succeeds R. B. Lott. In
Harrison both of the old Clerks were
Republicans and are succeeded by
two Democrats, Thos. c. Ramage and
James Monroe. Mr.. Ramage attend
ed the University here for number
of years and graduated in 1875. He
lis young man of considerable abili-
ty and we have no doubt will dis
charge the duties of his Office with
credit to himself and satisfaction to
his constituents. In Barbour county

The dissatisfaction among our cit
liens on account of the irregularity
of the mail arrivals from Fairmont,
will, it is likely, lead to some new
arrangement in the future. The
Wheeling papers are not received
here till the second day, or about
twenty four hours later than they
might get here. Not considering
this, it is sometimes nearly evening
before the coach arrives, and those
who receive important mail have to
wait till their patience is exhausted.
This matter frequently provokes dts
cussion, and we would not be sur
prised if an united effort on the part
of our citizens were made to effect
more regularly, or better mode OF
bringing the mails to town. The
law provides that mails shall arrive
and depart at fixed hours. We sell
dom know the mail to arrive here
within the time prescribed by law,
consequently it is no great wonder
that complaints and murmurings
are heard. We would suggest that
those who have this matter in charge
make some Improvement in their
method of doing business.

AN exchange says: There is a
man in our town who always pays for
his paper il advance. He has never
been sick a day in his life; never had
any corns or toothache; his potatoes
never rot; the weevil never eats his
wheat; frost never kills his corn or
beans; his babies never cry in the
night; and, most wonderful of all, his
wife never scolds." '-s

A BRACE OF RENAME SwINpLER,

A BRACE OF RENAME SwINpLERs.--
During the early part of last week
two respectfully appearing women
visited Clarksburg, and represented
themselves as sufferers by the recent
fire at Jane Lew. They were well
provided with what has since been
aseertained to be forged certificates
of good character, and by means of
them and glib tongues succeeden in
swindling the citizens out Of between
$50 and 500. They then left the
town, and the discovery was then soon
after made that the women were resi-
dents of Grafton, and their characters
were anything but good. Detectives
were then put on the track, and one
of the women was arrested few miles
west of Clarksburg. She was com
mitted to the Harrison county Jail on
Saturday last to await trial. Wheel

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-06-02

CHEYENNE, WYo., June l, 1873.
To the Editor of Tie Leader:
During the past few years, I have
observed with much pleasure the rapid
ly developed interest of the ladies of
our Magic City," in the cultivation
of natures brightest children. Strang-
ers visiting Cheyenne are quick to re-
mark this universal love of flowers, as
the shortest stroll through our streets
reveals window after window of bloom
ing plants, all seeming to appreciate
the careful attention bestowed on them
by their fair and gentle keepers. From
the bright geranium, in a wee house
just over the way, growing so sturdily
from its tin can. labelled .'tomatoes''
to the beautiful, well filed jardiniere
in II more imposing home, one may
trace the same love-the same elevating
taste.
: With the above for a preamble, let
me now offer to alkour ladies' interest
ID in their little window gardens,
few practical hints. Many have said
to me, in despairing tones: ''My plants
look well when l first buy them, but af-
ter keeping them a few weeks, the
leaves begin to drop, and cannot force
them into bloom again. Nearly all
the plants brought to Cheyenne come
from Denver, and are right from the
warm, moist atmosphere of the green
house, so you must first accustom them
to the sudden change.
Much depends, too, on the plants
you may purchase. Always select
young, thrifty plants, in preference to
the old ones in full bloom, especially il
you desire to keep them through the
winter. As to the varieties which dc
best in the house the whole year round,
1 would suggest, for your first trial,
geraniums, fuschias and heliotropes.
Give these your careful attention, and
you will be well repaid by wealth OF
continual bloom.
Place. your heliotropes in south
window, for they must have sunshine,
and plenty of it; remember, too, that
like the fuschias, they are thirsty pets,
drinking gratefully all you may give
them, both morning and evening.
Geraniums love the sun, but will dc
well in most any exposure, save {
north, while ] find fuschias the most
accommodating Of all plants, as the,
will bloom almost anywhere if not KEEP,
too much in the shade. Let me add
finally, that I consider Williams little
paper, "The Floral Cabinet" quite as in
dispensable to the amateur window gar
dener, as an excellent cook book to {
well appointed kitchen.

Startling Indian News.

Chicago, June 1.-Maj. Guido Ilges,
commanding the Seventh infantry at
Fort Benton, informs the military
headquarters here that the hostile
Sioux, Arrapahoes, Cheyennes and 9TH
or Indians, assembled at the eastern
corner Of Cypress Mountains, and
known as Sitting Bulls camp, contem-
plate an early invasion south Of the
boundery line. Maj. Ilges considers
the situation serious. Two thousand
warriors, trusted by nobody in that re-
gion, fully armed and equipped, def
ant and ready for fight, have caused
him to move his fort to new place,
better fitted for defense. Sitting Bull
recently made a rancorous harangue,
promising to return to the United
States when the grass grows, and
make the soldiers weep. A grand war
dance and mastering of various tribes
followed this speech.

AS they are going to have nice
little congress over there in Europe, the

Fourth European District, subject to
the decision of the Imperial Convention

Herr Won Bismarck respectfully pre-
sents himself to the voters Of the Sec
ond European District as candidate
for congress. His platform is the re-
peal of the resumption act, the funding
of the county bonds, and no more sub
sides to Geo. Francis Train and the
Omaha Herald.
Having served two terms as county
judge, and one term rs a member of the
school board, Armand Francis Joseph
Andrassy comes before the voters of
the Third European District as a can
didate for the congress. lie repudiates
all conventions, such rs are run by
court house cliques and local rings; he
comes directly before the people and
asks their suffrages.
To the Voters of the First European
District:
Yielding to the repeated solicitations
of my friends, have consented to be-
come candidate for the congress and
l respectfully solicit your votes in the
