He was a short, stumpy sort Of a per-
sonage, so b%ow-legged that his knees
acted as if there was n GOODNESS between
them and had forgotten to speak as they
passed each other. Worse than all, he
was Just the creature that some practical
joker is always putting up a job on, and
Cheyenne had the reprobate to under
take the task.
A beer keg was filed with water, and
he was told that if he carried it to a certain
saloon he wonld get a bright buzzard
dollar for his labor. Straighway the keg
commenced its journey. When it got
there he found he had made a mistake
and got the wrong saloon. He tried again,
with like success, and at length made q
complete circuit of the block.
Finally he became thirsty, and thought
he would get a dollars worth Of the
beverage which delights the Trutonit
warrior. When he found that instead o
the usual connection of hops he was drink
ing the alkali compound called in Chey
enne venacular water, his heart strings
snapped asunder. He stepped ava,

CONVENTION CALLED.
The National Cattle Breeders tC
Meet in Chicago.
Secretary Sturgis' Official An
nouncement of the Affair.

Mr. Thomas Sturgis, Secretary of the
National Convention of Cattle Breeders,
yesterday issued the following call for the
second annual convention of that body,
At the closing session of the National
Convention of Cattle Breeders, which was
held in Chicago November Is and 16,
1888, a resolution was adopted continuing
the officers of the convention for the
ensuing year, and directing and authoriz-
ing the Secretary to call a second meeting
during the month of November 1884.
As the Secretary of that organization,
and acting under the authority they
vested in me, l hereby give public notice
that the second annual convention will be
held in the city of Chicago on the 18th
and 18th days ofNovember 1884. Further
details as the hour and place will be pub
lished later.
The convention will have before it,
among other subjects, two Of great i'm
p~ortance: LIST. That which was stated in
the resolutions, viz: The forming of a
National Association of Cattle Breeders
under a permanent organization. I'd.
To receive the report of the committee on
legislation, of which Hon. S. B. Grinnell,
of Iowa, is Secretary.
In addition to the delegates present in
1883, and in the spirit in which the call of
one year ago was issued by the Commits
sioner of Agriculture. the Hon. George
B. Loring, the Representatives of all
classes interested in any of the cattle in
dustries of the United States are cordially
invited to be present and are assured of a
welcome. By correspondence with s. D.
Fisher, Esq, Secretary of the Illinois
State Board of Agriculture, 1 am author
lied to state that the convention called by
him, under date September IS, to meet in
Chicago, November Is and IA, will join
with the convention held under the pres
ent call instead of holding a separate
meeting.
Attention is called to the very import
ant Convention of Cattle Breeders, to be
held in st. Louis on November II. Earn
est efforts have been made to obtain a
change of last named date to one which
would follow the closing of the Chicago
Fat Stock Show, and could such change
have been accomplished the present call
would have named st. Louis as the place
of meeting. This unfortunately could
not be done, owing to engagements previ-
ously entered into by the representatives
of st. Louis, and as attendance there on
the 18th will be impossible to many of
our delegates an earlier meeting at Chi
cago became imperative on account of the
unfinished business of last year.
1t is believed that the cattle breeders
who will meet at st. Louis are animated
by the same motives and objects as this
Association, and it is hoped hat hereafter
but one convention may be held annually
in which the interests and influence of all
will be consolidated.
To this end it is urged that all stock
men who may attend the convention
hereby called in Chicago will come pre-
pared to go to st. Louis afterward, and
participate fully and actively in the DELHI
e~rations there. THos. STURGIs,
Secretary National Convention of Cattle
Breeders.

Joseph johnson was his name, and he
stood before Judge Lee yesterday with all
the meekness of the allegorical lamb.
Strong drink, taken in too generous guam
titles, was the charge preferred against
him and he sadly admitted his guilt. He
had no money and the officers led him
gently down stairs and put him in n of
coy furnished rooms. For the next ten
days Joseph will lead a quiet life and will
not vote at primaries.
John Burke had the appearance of a
vagrant, but his honor was inclined to be
merciful and let him go.

FALLS FIRST o
1t Occurred In This City During Mild
September.

September was a pretty average month
as to weather" said Sergeant McGovern,
Signal Service Officer, yesterday. ''The
rainfall was considerably greater than
usual and the temperature A little higher
than the average, but beyond these there
was nothing very remarkable"
From the Signal Office records it APP
pears that the average temperature for
the month was 56.50. The highest tenn
perature was reached on September l,
when the thermometer indicated $3.50,
while the lowest temperature reached was
2s.5' on September 30. The monthly
range of temperature was $40; the great
est daily range 4l.5o, on September -,
and the least daily range 1922 on Sep
TENDER Is. The mean daily range was
30o. The tempnrature rose above so on
six days of the month and fell to freezing
point on four days. The first light frost
for the Fall occurred on September 10
and again on the 9th, and a killing frost
on the 18th and Both. The average tenn
perature for Cheyenne during the past
thirteen years is 55.40; the lowest average
is 51.S0 for September 1878, and the
highest average 57.70 for September 1879,
showing hat September of the present
year has been a triAe warmer than the
average for the time since the Office has
been established here.
The total rainfall for the month was
lbs inches. Rain fell on seven days, the
greatest amount, a trife over an inch,
falling on the 18th. No snow fell at any
time during the month here, although a

The total rainfall for the nine months

period in 1888 the amount is 1862 inches,
the largest on record. The average rain
fall for September in the last thirteen

inches, in September 1877, and the least,
which represented 0, in September 1879;

A Mall Outrage.

From the Rawlins journal.
We learn to-day that the Rawlins-
Lander mail route is to be curtailed twelve
miles on and after October 10, making
the northern terminus at Werlin's ranch
on the Little Popo-Agie, and known as
Dallas Postofice. This is a matter of
very great Importance to our people, as
well as an outrage upon those of Fremont
county. Steps should at once be taken to
protest against this outrage as well as to
thoroughly inform the Department in
reference to the matter. If the Fremont
county people had their just dues, the
mail service from this city would have
been increased to a daily months ago.
The people must take this matter in hand
and not waver until justice is done.

This evening will be held the Demo-
cratic primaries to elect delegates to the
County Convention to be held on Mon
day, October Is. The work done in the
interests of the various candidates so far
has been very light, but the prospects are
that the primaries this evening will be
well attended. For the office of Sheriff
many persons have been suggested, al
though some of them are probably not in
the field. Among the gentlemen men
toned are Messrs. N. N. Craig, L. r. Bres-
nahen, F. Q. Thomasson, F. W. Schwartze,
I. B. Reed, t. JEFF Carr, of this city, and
Mr.. Snow, of Hartville.
For the office of County Clerk there
seem to be but two candidates in the field,
MI. w. G. provinces and Mr.. Frank
Sparhawk.
For County Treasurer, Judge w. L.
Kuykendall, Judge Whitehead and
Judge c. F. Miller.
For County and Prosecuting Attorney
the only person mentioned is the present
incumbent, Mr.. j. G. Baird.
There has been little or no talk on the
Democratic side of the house regarding
nominee for County Superintendent o
Schools. DIR. j. Y. Cowhick would un
doubtedly be considered in this connec
ton, but for the fact that he leaves 70
Texas in a few days to spend the Wi
ter.
For County Assessor Nj. w. w. JEFF
reys is mentioned to succeed himself
Coroner Chafin has also been spoken q
in this connection.
No aspiring Democrat seems to be mai
ing a wild break for the Office Of Coroner
DR.. Crook declines the honor.
For County Commissioner Messrs. 7
Dyer, G. A. Draper, G. P. Organ, A {
Snyder and J.. G. Abney are mentione
and they are all well qualified for the p'
sition.

men at the institution would declare that un-
less he answered some question in grammar
properly, he would be rejected What, in
the name Of God, had grammar to do with
fighting battle?"
