TEMpERANcn coNvENTIoN.
The Address Of Mrs. Mulloy Last
Night.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union held the second day Of their Con-
v%ention at the Presbyterian Church yos-
terday. There was a much la%rgerattend-
anee and a greater interest shown in the
work. AS was announced, Mrs. MulloY
delivered an address in tbs evening and a
large audience assembled to hear her.
Prior to the lady's lecture there was
singing by the choir and Mrs. Pearce gave
a solo with fine effect.
Mrs. Mulloy was then presented to the
audience and began her remarks. She
gave an interesting account of the con-
test between the temperance people and
the anti prohibitionists in the States of
Iowa and Kansas, She was favor of max
ing prohibition one of the political issues
and believed that St. John was in a fair
way to be elected. Should he fail in the
present campaign he would succeed four
years hence She gave her cxperienceas a
school teacher in the South during the
days of slavery and very pathetically
described the sights which she there be-
held. She claimed when the Abolitionists
wished to abolish slavery they were told
that it could not be accomplished, yet it
was done and now, when it was proposed
to abolish the sale of intoxicants, they
were informed it was impossible.
The records of the two parties were
taken up and severely criticised. She
criticised President Arthur for the exam
pie he had set to the people while in the
White House, and gave Governor Cleve-
land u passing notice. She gave a
highly encouraging report of the Prohi-
bitionist chances in Georkia, and thought
that they had Il good chance to carry the
State in November.
At the close OF her address a collection
taken up for Mrs. Malloy, and she re-
ceived over $50.
Mrs. Malloy is the editor of a temper
auce paper published in Iowa, and is an
active worker in the cause. She ia a
pleasant and entertaining speaker, and
seldom fails to amuse her audience.
The morning session of the Union will
be held at 1890 o'clock, anil will last IN
til noon, when the final adjournment will
he had. All of the delegates will leave
for their several homes during the day.

Hon. Gilbert LeIrh,s Death.

The special dispatch from Fort McKin-
uey, published in THE LEADER Yesterday
regarding the sad death of Hon. Gilbert
Leigh, NJ p, created a sensation among
his friends here Mr.. Leigh was quite
well known in Cheyenne, having visited
the ranches of his friends in this Terri
tory almost every year since 1876. From
an English Peerage it is learned that he
was the eldest son and heir of Lord Leigh,
of Stoneleigh Abbey, Warwickshire. a
member of Parliament for Warwckshire,
and a nephew of the Duke Of Welsmin-
ster, probably the wealthiest subject in
Great Britain.

An Interview win Charles %sanbOrn, of
Denver.

|
Charles W. Sanborn was one of those
who wanted to 20 to Denver yesterday
and was obliged to remain in the city all
day by the detention of the Western train.
A LEADER representative met him at
the Railroad House and had quite an in
teresting conversation with him in refer
ence to the Sabille Ditch company.
1T is a fine country" he said, ''the
finest east of the Rockies. [ never saw a
better, nor one SO admirably situated for
irrigation. know something about the
subject as l have been all over Arizona,
New Mexico, Colorado and Utah, and
there Is no place in any of these Terri
tories that can he SO easily ~irriga,ed as
this.
II think that all the cereals and apples
and grapes can be raised in this region. 1
don't see any reason why they can't, as it
is successfully done in Colorado, and there
is but little difference between the section
and hat of Colorado. As to the soil, it
is the richest that | ever saw. not except
ing the Cache la Poudre valley. The
company have considerable grit to under
take the task, and l think that the gov
eminent should grant them the land
which they deserve. As it is now, it is
almost worthless. and if they redeem it
by their exertions they contribute much
more to the prosperity of the Territory
than the land would be worth to the gov
eminent. So far as the ditch is con
cerned, it is being well constructed and
will be able to irrigate the whole Of the
region without any difficulty. But
don't think that the Territory will ever b,
m agricultural region, however, and the
citizens must make the most of the land
that can be cultivated.

NO v THERE.
The North Platte Yards Perfectly Free
from Disease.

There is an impression among stockmen
that there is Texas fever 1. the stock
yards at North Platte. A representative
Of The LEADER, with a desire to ascer
tain the truth of the report, interviewed
n gentleman who is thoroughly acquainted
with the condition of the yards. and OBJ
tanned from him the following informa-
ton in regard to the matter:
There is no truth in the statement
whatever" he said. AT the time the
Texas fever was raging near the place
the yards were cleansed, the pens white
washed, and they were thoroughly disin-
fected At that time they were pro
nounced by shippers to be the %cleanest,
neatest and most convenient OF any yards
between Cheyenne and Chicago.
1T is claimed that some one had two of
his herd Of cattle die at Council Bluffs of
Texas fever, and that they contracted the
disease while feeding at the North Platte
yards. This ia the foundation for the
report, and l know it to be absolutely
false. There is not an instance where
any disease was contracted at these yards,
and there is now no trace of Texas fever
anywhere in that vicinity.
The report was probably started to
injure the yards, but will fail to do so, as
every effort is made to satisfy the wants
and wishes of cattlemeu who feed their
stock there"

T COYOTE.
A Tenderfoovs First Experience with
the Coward of PraIries.

Not long since there arrived at a ranch
not more than thirty miles from this
place. a tenderfoot from the smoky city
of Pittsburg- He came imbued with the
desire TO develop into a wild Western
cowboy, and to hasten this result he
eagerly sought for and greedily swallowed
all Information attainable. This informa-
ton the boys were not slow in furnish
ing him.
The festive coyote having made himself
quite numerous about the ranch and hay
ing been indulging in veal for several
days, the boys determined to supplement
his repast with a side dish Of cold lead.
The tenderfoot had never seen a coyote.
So the other evening two of the boys
took their rifles and started in search of
the depradator, leaving the tenderfoot
engaged in an interesting game of seven
up. Soon the crack ola rife announced
something had been seen, and presently
the pair returned carrying a large Mr..
John Rabbit. Holding it up to view the
shooter exclaimed:
Here's the fellow that has been killing
our calves"
That's 30" said one.
Hell do no more damage" said an
other.
With astonishment depicted on every
lineament of his countcnanee. the tender
foot gazed open-mouthed at the animal,
and at last gasped:
you don't call that a coyote, do your"
Certainly" said one.
That's what she L." solemnly as
serted another.
What do you think it is, a yearling
bull?" growled a third.
We'll. but boys said the tenderfoot,
Il wouldn't thought that animal could
pull down a calf"
But, continued he, examining poor
Johns carcass more closely, hes got
mighty strong rear legs, and my, what
terrible teeth he's got What are you
going to do with him?''
Eat him" was the sepulchral re-
Eat himl Eat ooyotel Why I never
heard Of such a thingl They are not
good to eat. are they2"
"Of course they are, and wen show
you at breakfast"
well, l won't eat any coyote, anyhow;
why they live on dead and putrid ami
mails"
That's what makes them SO tender"
was the reply.
Morning came, and with breakfast the
jack rabbit in the form of a savory stew.
MY, it smells nice" said the tender
foot, shifting the aroma from the kettle.
Yes, and it tastes nice" said his
neighbor, as he helped himself to a gen
erou & portion.
After munching a dry biscuit for some
minutes and looking with envy on the rest
of the crowd who were enjoying coyote, as
he supposed, the tenderfoot broke out
with, hang it I'm going to eat coyote,
too And Selling a piece he shut his
eyes and went to work on it. After the
first mouthful he stopped long enough TO
look around and exclaim. why, it's
good"
He was not undeceived, and until this
meets his eye he will be laboring under
the belief that the portion of innocent
John Rabbit which he devoured was once
carried around by the four legs of a cow
ardly, bloodthirsty coyote.

road, that such is not the case; that the
above named roads have not now nor

WATTERSON'S WRATH.
Scathing DenunciatiOn of the Indian.
apOlis Sentinel SIander.
louisville Courier-Journal.l I


The Democracy of the Union, and par
ticularly the Democracy of Indiana, should,
and will, promptly and unequivocally dis
own responsibility for the assault upon Mr..
and Mrs. Blaine made by the Indianapolis
Sentinel. We war not on women. The In
dianapolis paper represents nothing but It
self Mr.. Blaine has instituted suit at
law, and thereby hangs an issue between
him and his assailant. To the integrity of
the good woman who for thirty years has
presided over Mr.. Blaine's househOld-re-
cognized by all who knew her to be the
best of wives and mothers-an entire gen.
Grafton of testimony may be called, and
will confidently and cordially answer, and
the only effect of the senseleSs and wicked
invasion of the home life of the eminent
and correct statesman who heads the Re
publican ticket-the one redeeming feature
of his caeeer-will be to furnish him an
opportunity to pose in the character of a
defender of the fireside and hearthstOne Of
his own honor, a character offering especial
opportunities for historic display, and driv-
ing directly at the most susceptible corner
of the popular heart. 1t is the purpose to
advance this wantOn attempt to destroy an
honest domestic fabric as an offset against
the personal attacks made by the Republi-
cans upon Governor Cleveland. Two
wrongs do not make right, nor are the
cases in anywise alike, the one case invOlv
ing nothing more important than the chas-
tity of bachelor, the other the tounda-
tions of family. We turn away with
scorn and loathing from an iniquity which
right thinking Democrats everywhere will
denounce equally with right-thinking Re-
publicans as the emanation, not so much Of
partisan malice and rancor, as of newspa-
per recklessness and sensational black
guardism.

WHAT LIFE HE'D CHOOSE.

He ambled along down the stone-hecked lane,
And out from his midst there frequent came
A full-strength cuss-word, deep and low,
As he knocked a nail from a wantOn toe;
And he wished he was dead'n Socrates,
And the robins sang out IA chime from the trees
And he wished, as he stepped on business
brer.
Which made him reflect by gosh, Marer,"
That he was hundred miles away
From the farm and the meadow and making hay
And "Brindle' and Bright and the kicking
cows,
And the blackbirds sang in the alder boughs.
Now poet, who sat on a most-hid stump,
With his face in a smile and his back in hump,
Had heard the boy as he muttered away,
And he called him hither and bid him say
What life he'd choose if he had his pick, >"
And the brown thrushes piped from a new-built
rick
And the lad looked up with his eyes in mist,
And cutting snack of Virginia Twist"
As he dropped on his bosom his old-gold head:
Please, Mister Sir, if it's all the same"
And the thrill of thrush from the hedgerow
came.
Please, Mister Sir, ;" the boy began,
And tears coursed down through the fuzz and
tan
$ IFS all the same an / had my pick,
4 could tell We suddink 'twould makeye sick
I'd be cashier in a savings bank"
And the poet fell over limp and lank.
And this simple child, with his tender thought.
From his sweet desire his wish was wrought;
And ne rides in a chariot gilt and gay,
And the poet is on the box, they say,
And the world hies hence with it's jam and jerk,
And the birds, as of old, get in their work.
