Expectations by Harry Oelrichs TO Re
place Horses Recently Burned.


-Four magnificent horses shipped from
New York to Cheyenne for Hon. Harry
Qelrichs, Of the Anglo-A American Cattle
company, have arrived in this city and
are now at the ranch of the company on
Grow creek.
The burning OF the barn on this ranch
and the destruction of valuable horses.
will be remembered. The money loss
was large, but for various reasons the
death Of the horses was regretted beyond
any financial considerations.
The beautiful animals imported by Mr..
Oelrichs to take, if possible, the place of
those burned, consist of three stations
and a mare. A brief description of them
may be of interest.
"Telesphare'' is a ~prize-winning French
coacher, imported by W. S. Gurnee
from France. He is l6 hands Q inches
high. a beautiful dark mahogany bay,
Q years old, of action most extraordinary,
for which he won the prizes at abe New
York horse show and in FRANCE. This
animal is indeed a superb one.
Fairfield is a rich golden chestnut
with two white feet and white face ia
hands high. with extraordinary ribs and
other points suggestive of great speed
and endurance. He has won in several

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April s, 1885.
To the Editor Of THE LEADER
Please publish a reply to the article in
the Cheyenne Sun of March 81, headed
Color Line"
The authors are in error as to the petit
TONERS asking the trustees to build a
school house. The buildings now in use
are amply sufficient.-not a dollar addi-
tional expense is necessary. The petition
to the school board asked that the board
provide a separate school for colored chill
dren; believing it to be to the best interest
to both races. Some teachers prefer not
to teach mixed schools, and their chances
are many to slight colored children with
out the knowledge of the school board;
and by their being in aroom to themselves.
colored or white teachers can be procured
who prefer to teach colored childred.
1t is not a political move, as the signers
of the petition belong to all political par
ties, simply expressing their preference,
and are taxpayers or patrons of the schools.
The petition was circulated less than two
hours and got sixty-nine signers; but few
refused TO sign it. Some of the
few who did not sign the petition
favored the motive of the petition but
asked to be excused. ] am quite sure
that a majority of the patrons of the
schools favor a separation, and at the
election of officers in May, if this question
is made an issue, it will decide the matter.
Why not have a law TO provide hat when
there arc fifteen or more eolored children
in a school district, that there shall be a
board Of trustees of colored citizens, they
to qualify as the law provides and receive
the pro rata share of the public fund for
the colored children, and employ their
own teachers. Kansas is a leading state
in the education of colored people and
separate schools work well there and are
preferred by both races. 1 earnestly hope
that the people will give the question due
consideration and act in accordance with
the dictates Of an unpejudicied conscience,
thereby welding an influence which will
be to the best interest of posterity.
1t is claimed by the Sun and another pa
per that the Granite canon manwho circu-
lated the petition, had no right to do so.
He is a taxpayer of the county, one of the
frst-assessed, which tax, the school part
of it, went to school district No. l for
eight or ten years, a native citizen, and
therefore claims the right, which is CON
ceded to all good citizens.

TRAcEpY ANp oomEnY.



Yesterday afternoon Messrs. II.
Kimme, Henry Dillman, Otto Evans, II.
Bolln and a Mr.. Lehman. Of Omaha,
pasted an hour of highly condensed en-
joyment. II all came about IN this way:
Several of the gentlemen determined to
enjoy a sail upon the poetical waters of
Lake Minnehaha. They sailed away
from the landing in one of the smaller
boats, and for some little time enjoyed
the s~iuation-and some other things.
When near the southern end OF the lake
an awkward tack was made. SWISH The
boom came around like a Roman batter
ing ram There was a dull thud," a
rich and thrilling gurgle, and four men
were drinking involuntary and copious
draughts Of water. The boat rode the
waves keel upwards.
Mr.. Fl. Bolln had witnessed the acct
dent from a distance. and fastened to the
aid of the party with a light row boat.
Dillman was frantically clinging to the
overturned sail boat, one of the others
was hanging on at the opposite side, an
other was splashing water like an old
fashioned stern wheeler. and Kimme had
'di-vn-id to a mermaid at the bottom o
the sea- AT any rate he had gone to
the bottom, and his friends feared he
would neglect to return until it was too
late for his own good.
When Bolln approached with the boat
two of those in the water seized, and
nearly capsized the frail craft. After no
little difficulty the entire party was
rescued, but the load was too much
for the boat. The gentlemen were in
clined TO be nervous and distrustful and
by lodging about soon caused several seas
to be shipped. Finally one gentleman
became alarmed and fairly jumped over
board. The boat capsized and again the
party was given a cold bath. One gen.
tleman swan to the overturned sail boat,
climbed on top and sat down astride the
keel. from which perch of advantage he
encouraged the Others to swim for all
they were worth. By c~linging to the two
boats the men kept their heads above
water until another row boat arrived.
They chung to the sides of this and were
literally towed to shallow water. when
they waded ashore.
A life on the ocean wave has no
further charms for a man in the party.

TRAP SHOOTING.
Local Sportsmen Have Several Fine
Matches at Live Birds.

A number of gentlemen had an after
moons trap shooting yesterday, live birds
and clay pigeons affording excellent sport.
The first match was between Messrs.
CHANNEL, Bergersen, Baldwin and Reeves.
The man making the lowest score paid
for the birds, and to Mr.. Channel was
given this privilege.
The second match, was for a small
purse, and Mr.. CHANNEL reversed the
order of things by winning the match,
Mr.. Bergersen being second.
In the clay pigeon matches Messrs.
Bergersen, Channel, Thayer and Reeves
shot, Mr.. Bergersen winning the first
match. Channel and Bergersen tied on
both the second and third matches.
The day was pleasant but a little windy.
The scores were good.

1t is said that the cowboys Of Big Pr
ney are becoming adopts in riding elk
The snow is still very deep on the noun
tains, and when the horses become worn
out plOdding through it, the boys seek
some quiet retreat, which they know is in
habited by elk. They Immediately r
round them, and find no difficulty in catch
ing them with their %lariats. Then the
mounting and the fun begins. The ami
mails are SO poor that they are, after a
short time, easily handled, and in some
instances the boys use them instead Of
horses for riding over the range after cat
tie. At least such is the story related by
a western man. Take it, you're welcome.

%THEATRIcAL THEMEs.
The Entertainment Las Evening and
other Theatrical Matters.


John a. Stevens and his company APP
peared at the opera house last evening in
that old standby Tie Ticket ofLeare Man.
The attendance was fair and the entertain
ment all that could be asked. Nearly all of
the leading members of the company
have individually appeared many times in
this play, but last night it was given by
this company for the first time. and after
a short rehearsal in this city. For an
initial entertainment 1t was most excel
lent, and displayed the strength Of the
company. This morning Mr.. Stevens
goes to Laramie where UnkNoirn will be
played, and thence he goes direct to San
Francisco. Returning in May Mr.. Stew
ems will appear here IN a new play, written
by himself, and said to be the best thing
he has yet attempted. While in this city
he has not received the support he de-
served nor that the company merited.
Madame Ristori passed through the
city last evening on her way west. Her
recent engagement in Denver was more or
less disastrous, owing to the bitter antag-
onism of the Denver press.
The next attraction at the opera house
is not decided upon, but it is quite proba-
bic that Rsck's Bad Boy, now booked
for the 25th inst. will be the corning
theatrical event.
Miss Anna Boyle, the charming leading
lady of the John A. Stevens company, is
suffering with such a severe cold that
fears are entertained for her voice. She
is under the care of physicians, but con-
tinues to keep her engagements with the
company. Other members Of the com
pany are also suffering from the effects of
colds contracted in Colorado.

The Union Pacific officials have received
word Of a strange occurrence near Kear-
ney. AS the overland train was entering
that town night before last a San Fran
cisco passenger named Gotlieb Cook
jumped from the train and ran north
from the track as fast as he could. Yes
teiday he was found in an almost nude
condition by some farmers sixteen miles
north Of Kearney. He is crazy and the
authorities are unable to obtain informa-
ton from him concerning his friends or
wishes. The sheriff holds him in custody.

THEY ELoPED.
The Escapade of an Adventurer ana a
Married oman.

Sheriff Hatton, of Cass county, Ia.
was in the city. recently looking for a
guilty clipping couple, DR.. Win f. McMe-
nanny, an a~dventurer, and Mrs. Drum
mond, wife of Il painter in Omaha 1t
appears that the couple left Omaha some
days ago, going over into Iowa and stop
ping at Griswold, a town about fifty miles
east of Council Bluffs. While they were
registered together, Mrs. Drummond's
parents heard of their daughters dis
graceful escapade, and hoping to break
up the liason, secured a warrant for their
arrest. The warrant was placed in Sher-
i'll Hatton's hands, who followed the
sweet-scented pair to Griswold. and fail
ing to find them there, went to Omaha,
only to discover that that they had again
given him the slip.
He followed them to this city, but was
again too late, as the couple had
doubled and had left for the east on
the morning train, several hours before
his arrival in the city. He passed them
on the road, but having no idea that they
would be so bold, 1t did not occur to him
to search the east bound train. He left
yesterday morning for Iowa, and will
doubtless capture the fugutives ere many

How an oy,ter Bald It's Shell.

" r WI ~ 81
In building It's shell the oyster starts
with the hinge end. at the spot known
to ~conchologists as the jumbo. a small
plate or single $ ale now represents ea h
valve, and that is the first seasons
growth. The ne I season n new growth
or plate shoots out from underneath the
first one, Just as the shingles do, 7 o
oystermen call these laps or plates
shoots. and they claim that the mum
Der OF shoots indicate the years OF the
oyster. They certainly do contain u
record Of the seasons. But there is
ofsen greet difficulty in diferentiating
the { shoots. The record is often OBJ
liberated in places by the growth Of the
parasites, which build their shells or
tubes upon the oy ster.
! hayeli ened these shoots to shingles,
Now ut the ga lie of the house these
shingles may be seen edgewise. SO OF
the one side of an oyster shell is a series
OF lines. This is the edgewise view
ofsthe shoots or season growths.
Another factor is this purple spot. or
scar, in the interior Of the shell. 1t is
the place of attachment of the alb
ductor muscle. Its first place OF at
tachment was close up to the hinge.
had II stayed there until the shell had
become adult, how di cult would be the
task OF pulling the valves together, the
leverage to be overcome would be so
great; for he must tear in mind the
act that at the hinge end the valves
ARE held by this black ligament, which
is in life elastic, swelling when the
shell opens and being compressed when
the animal draws the valves together.
So with every year growth or elong
alton Of the shell the mollusk mo IS tn
place of attachments of the muscle on

the hinge. AS it does so it covers N

A NEWSPAPER cannot be expected to
please everybody; it is useless TO attempt
it, for it would be a failure from the start;
nor will a notice TO stop the paper
bring about the millennium when the

pie will differ with each other and with
newspapers and while one person stops
the paper, ten of his neighbors start it

WOMAN W oRKERs.

There are nearly 5000, u0U self-sup
porting women and girls over ten years of
age in this country and their numbers
are steadily increasing. With the increase
Of work by women It is a noticeable fact
hat the womau's suffrage associations of
the country are deyoting a good share of
their attention to the subject of woman's
work as well as to suffrage for women
At the last meeting Of the Boston
Woman Suffrage Association a report was
made which gives an interesting view of
the latest progress in woman's work.
1t was shown that it has been discovered
that there is nothing in the laws Of New
York to prevent women from voting or to
punish inspectors for receiving their
votes, and, in consequence, the suffragists
are preparing to test the question. rhe
women Of Kansas have been given the
right to vote at district school board
elections. Women have been admitted
to the vestry of a Protestant Episcopal
church in Pennsylvania, given the right
to vote At elections Of wardens and yestry-
men in the Episcopal diocese Of Nebraska,
a woman ha, been ordained pastor Of a
Baptist church 10 Nebaska. Women
dentists are gaining groun in Germany.
Women are largely employed in the
British civil service, anil in the Roths
childs London banking house. while half
the employees in our patent office arc
women Women architects are %increas-
ing in France aud America, and a daugh.
ter Of an architect has just taken the
second prize for oil painting il the Acad-
envy of Fine Arts at Milan.
In thus showing how large and varied
is the work Of women. and how their
influence and position are becoming broad
ar and higher, the women sufhagists will
accomplish far more than they could By
any mere agitation to the right TO vote in
general political elections. The force Of
example is great, aud the influence of one
woman At work in a new field is greater
for the cause the s~uffraRists have at heart
than a series Of the most eloquent speech
os saying what ought to he done.
