disease.
Adyiees from the Chicago yards state
that the prices which were obtained last
week cannot be hoped for during the

wayto market and scarcity will not be a
factor in high prices this week.

A reporter of THE LEADER had a short
interview with Rev. G. n. Eldridge last
evening and obtained information of the
proceedings at the Methodist Conference
at Longmont, which are of interest ID
Wyoming.
Mr., Eldridge will remain pastor of the
Cheyenne church. The Larimie church
has no pastor at present, but one will
soon be sent thither, probably a gentle
mau from Maine. The Rev. Koyle will
o%ficiate at Evanston, and Rev. Mr.. UT
will be sent to Rawlins. There is no
church at Buffalo at present. The Rev.
Merritt is returned to Greeley, and the
Rev. Brewer is retained at Fort Collins.
The affairs of the church are prosper
ing. The membership throughout the
Rocky Mountains is steadily increasing,
and the Sunday-schools are evincing a
most iattering progress.
In reply to a question Mr.. Eldridge
said that the congregation here desired to
build a new church, but the time when
the work would be commenced was as yet
in doubt the society wa not able
to build at present, and should continue
to occupy the building now used until
ono could be erected without incuring
too heavy a debt

A crowd of several hundred people
gathered at Lake Minnehaha about sun
set, Sunday evening, for the purpose of
witnessing a swimming race for which a
number of sportsmen had entered fine
hunting dogs. No charge was made to
enter a dog butt t the winner a prize of
ten dollars had been offered by the pro-
prietors of the Gold Room. Mr.. P. Ber-
gersen entered the Irish setter Dan"
Mr.. Dwight Fisk entered the English set
ter. Dash" Frank Bond entered his lit
tie spaniel "Gipsey," and a Mr.. John
son, of Colorado. entered Carlo, a large
size liver and white pointer.
The dogs were dropped from boats
at the eastern side of the lake where Off
Ger Deitrick gave a signal to Mr.. Doc
Baldwin, the referee, who stool at the
winning mark on the western shore. The
dogs struck bottom a short distance from
the western shore, Dan and Carlo
being about even. Some little confusion
was caused by reason of the number of
boats, and the dogs lost time by gambol-
ing around them. Dan passedthe score
first, however, followed closely by carlo"
winning the race and prize in 2:l5. An
other race will probably be held next Sun
day, when other interesting features will

AsERMoN TO LABoRINc MEN.
A Discourse Upon the Relations of
Employer aud Employees.

Rev. c. NJ. Sanders delivered a ser
mon at the Congregational Church last
e7ening from the text The Laborer is
Worthy of his Hire"
In brief the sermon was as follows:
Some one has said, every one is
making mistakes. Some mistakes are
OF little account and some are of vital
Importance. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that ones best interests demand the graft
lcation OF every wish 1t is a mistake to
worship wealth and position. 1t is a
mistake for capitalists to suppose that
they are entirely independent of the la
boring man, and that their own rights are
supreme above all else. 1t is a mistake
to keep stores open and clerks confined
from early in the morning until late at
night Why should clerks be held three
or four hours after mechanics have finished
their work for the day. Stores and
clerks, merchants aud their employees, have
some rights which even the public should
learn to respect.
Laboring men are not always free from
mistakes. 1t is mistake to ignore the
Church and the Bible
Christ has said ~The Laborer is
Worthy Of his hire9' This does not imply
that all who call themselves laborers are
alike worthy, nor that a laborcr may de-
mand what he pleases for his hire, nor
that the rights and privileges are only
with the employer. Those organizations
and corporations that are seeking to de-

A WANDERING WAGON.
The P~erPlexing PeregrinatIons of a
Roaming Ranchman and His Horse.

A good story is told of a certain well
known ranchman, who lives-wel, not
more than five hundred able-bodied miles
from Cheyenne, The ranchman, SO the
story goes, came to the city Saturday for
various and sundry purposes. He trans
acted his business, obtained what he
wanted in the way of bottled groceries,
and started upon his -journey-and the
road-for home. A sort of vague unrest,
a kind of ~hesitating uncertainty, of the
Springfield, Mass, style of reluctance,
hovers over the subsequent proceedings.
Time, like taxes and the current rate of
interest, accumulated rapidly, and several
hours after his departure the ranchman
was several miles nearer the city than a
methodical OK team would have been in
the same time. But he still peregrinated
and was getting no nearer home quite
rapidly, when suddenly, indeed quite I'M
expectedly, he discovered that he had an
idea. 1t occurred to him that he was walk
ingl By un easy and graduated scale Of
reasoning it also became approximately
apparent to his mind that he should be
riding. He rested awhile, about an hour,
and thought some more. Then he pro-
ceeded on his journey. The exercise of
walking, or perhaps it was the thinking,
partially repaired the roof of his mental
warehouse, and then he encountered an
idea of the Eureka -have- found-it
style of architecture. He was afoot, and
was leading one of his horsesl Half
carrying, half-dngging he bore the har-
ness of the other horse, but the animal
was not near, neither was his wagon visi-
bic. The gray-hued dawn was just put
ting a states prison uniform on the east
ern skies, and after getting his bearing
he started for the city. How he left his
wagon, by what means or for what pur-
pose he embarrassed the horses, where
the wagon was, or where the horse had
strayed to, were matters too profound fer
his solution. He returned to the city.
and later in the day was engaged in a
search for his missing property. He is
on the trail Of his missing horse, but at
last aceoun he had found no clue, or
wheel, of his wagon.

Mention has previously been made in
these columns of a young mar who had
given checks upon banks here in which
he had no funds. The facts are that re-
Gently a young man presented his in
diudual check to the cashier at Cowhick
& Whitcomb's. As the banks were
closed at the hour the check was rendered,
the money, 500, was advanced upon the
check, The next day it was ascertained
that it was valueless. The matter has
been placed in the hands of an attorney,
but prosecution will be withheld a sufi-
cient time to give the drawer of the check
a fair opportunity to settle the matter.
Extreme measures will be adopted only as
a last resort. For obvious reasons names
are not given at the present time.

One claim that has been brought for
ward by those who favor the removal of
the Postofice, is that the accommodations
afforded atthe present location are too lin
tied for convenience. This argument has
very little weight when it is taken into
consideration that considerable of the
space in the office is taken up with a cigar
stand, for which a rental ofs25 per month
is paid. With a little different arrange
ment the space afforded would be amply
sufficient.

CHICAGO, August IL. - Moreton
Frewen, a leading Wyoming cattle raiser
and protector, and a moving spirit in the
international cattle enterprise, wherein
both this country and England are ex-
pected to be greatly benefited, was seen
at the Leland hotel this morning. Mr..
Frewen has lately returned from his trip
to England made IN furtherance of this
scheme. and left Chicago on the morning
train for Cheyenne. As a result OF his
labors in England and with the Privy
Council, he is confident there will be no
embargo placed on the shipment of
Western cattle through Canada or by way
of Portland or Boston, which ports are
north of the pleuro pneumonia center.
MIR. A. H.. SWANS Views OIL Breeds.
From a Denver Tribune Interview.
IF we are to take any one of the dis
-tinct families of cattle, l will say the
Herefords are the best breeds for beef by
all odds. They have the size, the shape
and the enduring qualities, paramount
above all other breeds. But to get to
perfection, a cross between the Hereford
male and the Shorthorn female is neces-
sary. We are now aiming to breed in
that direction. This cross will produce a
class Of animals that will be more popular
in America than the straight Durham
ever was in Europe. There will be no
trouble in raising steers by this cross that
will weigh l,4OO, LOCO and ever 1880
pounds at 4 years of age. The Texas
B%roadhorns are the preferable animals of
the low breeds. A Texas COW is the slayer,
she will stand out on the bleak hills, in
winter, and live where a buffalo, or an elk,
or an antelope will.

Was II an Apple or Locust Tree?

To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Oct. 9 Capt.
Appleton says there was an apple tree at Apo
mattox, under which Lee surrendered and he
and his fellow staff officers were the first to cut
souvenirs from it. Comrade j. J.. Pray also
says he cut chip from the AppomattOX apple
tree connected with Lees surrender to Grant.
Now, as have seen mention of this apple tree
at different times in different papers, if you
will give me place in your valuable columns
| will give to the readers of The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE what know about it. | was men,
Der of the l90th Pa, the original Bucktail regi
ment. On the morning of the 9th of April our
regiment was on the skirmish line, and when
the flag of truce was sent in to our lines we still
held our position as a picket-line during the
armistice pending the surrender, and was one
of nine detailed to stand guard at the gap with
instructions to let no one pass in or out without
orders from headquarters. This post or gap
was on the main road that Lees army marched
on. Just outside Of our line and about 90 feet
from the gap stood q honey locust tree Gen.
Lee and staff officers rode up to our line and
dismounted, and stood under this tree about 10
minutes, when Gen. Grant and staff rode up
and met Lee under this tree. OF course our
squad had the first cut at the tree, and / have
now in my possession limb that l cut for a
cane, but finding it too much tree to carry with
my other traps l cut it in two pieces, and put
one in my knapsack. All the rest of the squad
got choice cut from the tree, and when we
left, three days after, the tree was demolished,
even the thorns.
i would be glad to hear from some of the
rest of the squad, or any of the regiment, espec-
tally Abe Self, if he remembers the converse
ton between him and Fitz- Hugh Lee i'll regard
to the surrender.-J. p. MCGAHEY, Mansfield,

with more than 101, a number were transferred
to other companies. Two soon after Joined the

was a vacancy by discharge or death rather
than go into other companies.
