Ex-Gov. Hoyt has been in correspon-
dence with the railroad officials looking
toward a reduction in railroad fare to
Denver on the occasion of a wyoming
day. at the Exposition. This CORES
pondence has been eminently success
full, Mr.. Hoyt having received n tele-
gram from General Ticket Agent
Stebbins offering for Wyoming people on
the occasion of their special day, two
thirds of the fare one way for the round
trip or, in reality one-third of full fare.
Tickets under these rates will be good
for five days.
Mr.. Hoyt is now in correspondence
with the officials of the Exposition
looking toward a definite announce
ment of a wyoming day"-in all
probability the 18th of September.
The reduction Of the fare on the part
of the railroad is a very liberal one,
the Exposition is 10Y complete and at
tractive, and there should be a large
attendance on the wyoming day"
Attend yourself and inform your
friends who may live away from the
railroad that they too, may attend,
and Wyoming day be in keeping with
the Wyoming exhibit.

On Tuesday evening Mrs. Mary G.
Mind, secretary of the western branch
of the Woman's foreign missionary
society of the NJ. E. church, lectured at
the Methodist church upon the subject
of missions. There was not a large at
tendance but the remarks by this talant-
cd lady were far from being of the
usual uninteresting, sterotyped charac-
ter of the run of addresses upon
this aud kindred subjects.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Mind con
tinued her remarks toa larger attend
ence at the church, the object being
the organization of a branch mission
society from the members of the NJ. E.
church in this city. Mrs. Prescott
who was expected to have been present
was detained from accompanying Mrs.
Mind here, on account of illness.
Yesterday Mrs. n. departed for st.
Paul, Neb. to be in attendance mt the
district conference in session there.
