There are some 200 hundred scholars
within the proper age in Cheyenne who
manage in some way TO keep out Of
school.
Certain persons have imported a large
number of non-resideLts Of the city to
vote to-day at our election. Watch
them and have them arrested if they
violate our election laws.
We are in receipt of an invitation to

The democratic city centra! commit
tee was organized by the election OF
officers as follows: Chairman, Col. l..
Murrin; Secretary, Judge Q. F. Miller;
Treasurer, Hon. J. f. Coad.
Judge Carey is so frequently absent
from the city and for long periods, that
should he by any accident be elected to-
day, the city would be without a
mayor three-fonrths of the time.
Yischer was around the other night
on Sixteenth street manufacturing a
boot-jack. He finally got n fixed up,
but after it was done it was hard to tell
which was Vischer and which was the
boot-jack.
Mayor Bresnahen Is q man Of the
people; he is directly interested in the
prosperity OF his neighbors, the resi-
dents of the city. If they thrive he
fourishes, hence he has ever done that
which tended to work the greatest good
to the greatest number.
The weather for the past day or two
has been very uncertain; although in
Cheyenne it has not been as bad as it
might have been. We are right on the
top of the world any how, and we no.
tice these changes more frequently than
people in other localities.
1t was expected that school would
open on yesterday morning, but on ac-
count of the fact that the repairs on
the school room were not completed,
the opening was postponed until this
morning at the usual hour, at which
time the scholars are expected to be pre-
pared.
Judge Carey vas &c n candidate
for congress. At the precinct where
his W employees voted, he was beaten
three to one, although his employees con-
stituted the majority Of the voters at
that precinct. This fact shows how
well Judge Carey is estimated by those
who hire under him.
The services at all of the churches in
Cheyenne were well attended on Sun
day. At the Congregational church
some changes have been made in the
choir. Miss Mamie Hopkins, an ac-
complished singer, has taken the place
of Mrs. Masten, and Miss Lizzie Evans
is now assistant organist.
Services were held at the Congrega-
tional church last evening. The sub
ject was the fifth chapter of Revela-
tions. Tho attendance and interest
vas such that it was decided to con-
tinue special meetings during the pres
ent peek. Meeting tonight. Topic:
''Joy in Heaven A cordial welcome
is extended to all.
We are pleased to know to know that
our friend i. A. Menea has purchased
the interest of his partner, Mr.. E. J..
Gallatin, in the saddlery and harness
business, and will heuceforth conduct
the business alone. Mr.. Menea is n
good business man and a good work
maa, and his establishment turns out
an excellent quality of work. The
wide reputation Of the firm will be
maintained by Mr.. Menea.
The other night when tho democratic
convention was in session, Jim Abney
was called upon for a speech. He arose
after repeated calls and got off the fol-
lowing; Fellow citizens, 1 can't ex-
actly make a speech; for o~ratory and
public speaking ] amt made, but for
honesty, integrity and morality l can
beat the DEVIL When that speech
was delivered there was some prospect
that Jim would be nominated for
mayor.
There has been a great deal of just
criticism IN the part Of our citizens on
the delays of the railway mail service.
Letters that should reach Cheyenne
from the east in three and four days,
are frequently delayed six and eight
days, and then the chances are that
they will come in from the west, indi-
eating that they have been carried past
Cheyenne and then returned. Are
form is necessary along the line some
where, and it behooves the United
States authorities to see to it that order
is restored out of a condition approxi-
mating chaos.
