THE -HAwkEYEs.
Cheyenne Invaded by a Battalion Of
Iowa Editors.


The reception committee, headed by
Mayor Reel, went out on the special train
yesterday morning to meet the junketing
Iowa editors, and returned with that body,
arriving in Cheyenne at $40, somewhat
earlier than was expected. The result
was that the band was not present At the
moment of the arrival Of the distinguished
guests, but it came a few minutes after
ward and delighted the editors while they
breakfasted IN the can and at the Rail
road hotel. A lrrge body of citizens
quickly collected at the depot, and a great
many handsome rigs were there to take
the excursionists on drives about the city.
Many availed themselves of the opportu-
nifty and went out to the lakes, Fort Rus
sell, and other points of interest, and on
every hand could be heard their exclama-
tons of astonishmcnt and delight. 1t was
plain that zone of them had expected to
see much else than a shaky frontier town,
built of tents, slabs and 'dobe, with peo-
pie to match. The club house, opera
house, churches, school buildings, pala-
tlal residences and superb stores, par
alyzed' them, so to speak, and many re-
marked that it all seemed to be a dream.
The +. Il. Warren mercantile house was
literally packed with the visitors ct times,
and Zehner. Jackson K Buechner's SPLEEN
did exposition'o OF solid gold aud silver jew
elry and plate made them open their eyes.
They said that a city where 4 market for
such goods could be found must indeed be
a rich one. Our citizens took the visitors
in detail and gave them every opportunity
to sec all that was to be seen, and many
of them saw for the first time, modern
improvements which they had not had
an opportunity to inspect elsewhere,
among these especially the working Of the
Edison incandescent light. Numbers of
the editors were taken home by former
friends to dinner, and the Others dined at
the Railroad hotel. As the time ap-
preached for them to leave they assem-
bled at the depot, where a large number
of citizens, ladies and gentlemen, gathered
to bid them adieu and bon royaqs and
promptly at , p. m. the long train of ele-
giant sleepers pulled out toward the west,
amid a waving Of hats and handkerchiefs
on both sides, and three r%ousing cheers
from the editors for Cheyenne. The ex-
cursionists will not stop again until they
reach Idaho. where they will have oppor-
tunities TO see tho beautiful and wonderful
things in nature and railroad engineering,
with which that country abounds along the
line of the Union Pacific.

VI "a &ttlthnt Riils
Miss Memo Kent. a thirteen year old
daughter OFT. A. Kent, Of this city, won
a gold medal for excellcncy in mathemat-
les at the commencement exercises Of that
institution last Tuesday. The Tribune
Republican has this to say of the com
mencement exercises which will be inter
esting to the relatives and friends of
Cheyenne young ladies who are attending
that school.
Wolfe hall was crowded last night
with the parents and friends Of the pupils
of that excellent seminary. Ample ar
engagements had been made for the accom-
mediation Of all who could conveniently
get into the building. but there were many
who witnessed the exercises who were
obliged to stand up, but such was the ex.
~cellence of the programme that no one
tired.
"The sweet girl graduates, of course,
were dressed in white, and wore the usual
amount Of ribbons in decorating them
selves They also wore flowers, and from
the profusion with which dresses were
decorated one would imagine that a raid
had been made on all the lighthouses in
the city.
Commencement exercises opened with
the professional hymn Sweet Savior,
Bless Us Ere We Go" Miss Matte Lulu
Kingsbury's essay on THE Human Coun-
tenance' was rapturously received, and
the young lady was the recipient Of many
beautiful floral offerings. Women in
Literature an essay by Miss Emma
Frances Vision, was well written and
admirably rendered. The friends of the
young lady presented her with a number
of baskets of flowers aud bouquets.
The Lights and Shadows of Friend
ship, an essay by Miss Mary Owen, was
n of the best literary ventures of the
evening. The young lady handled her
subject in a graceful manner She also
r ceived a number of floral offerings.
Meditation was artistically rendered
by Misses Kiefer and Wishon and Messrs.
Walter f. Hall and +. Zietz. Miss
Marion Hunter essay on THE Apostles
Creed was well written and well received
as was Miss Josephine Bertalette's essay
Self Control is True Freedom"
Tho essay Of Miss Jean Milne Taylor,
"Orpheus' Descent into Hades,' was
perhaps the best venture of the evening.
The young lady displayed exquisite skill
in treating the subject. At the conclusion
she was deluged with flowers, or rs the
heather Bob has it-had she seen fit to
slumber-she would have slept beneath a
wilderness of flowers.
The valedictory by Miss Jessie Matilda
Jacknan, "Scieaeia Vent Sed Lapienta
Cessat, was enthusiastically received.
Medals We're given Miss Elizabeth
Spalding for a prize essay, Miss Memo
Kent for mathematics and Misses Frances
Lowerre and Susie johnson for the same.
Miss Ella Cav was given a handsome
edition Of Tennyson's poems for good be-
havior, and Miss Lieben n present for

met at the city hall last evening and alter
some routine business adopted the follow
ing resolutions Of respect:
WHEREAS, Our esteemed friend and
member Of this association, Mr.. A. r.
Converse, has answered the
that comes sooner or later to all, thus re-
minding us again Of the uncertainty of
life, that human existence is hut a span in
the vast revolution of time, and that he
has, as we believe. entered into the rest
that cometh to those who lived as he lived
and that endureth forever free from the
cares and perplexiiies common to the lot
of all who appear upon and disappear
from the stage of human life. Rest in
peace, thou friend and fellow pioneer.
Resoired, That in the death Of Mr.. A..
r. Converse the territory has lost a worthy,
just and upright citizen, our little city of
Cheyenne an enterprising, safe and con-
sIderate man of business. his family a kind
and indulgent husband and father. and
his friends a true and faithful friend in
deed, even unto death.
Resohre5, That these resolutions be
spread on the minutes of the association.
and that a copy be furnished to each ofthe
papers of the city and that an ~engrossed
copy Of them be furnished to his family.
By order Of the committee. -

Gen. Sheridan has ordered the discon-
tinuance of the wind guage in target prac-
tice. This has been deemed wise, because
in battle the soldier can expect to have nc
reliance on thess instruments, and should
learn to depend upon his own judgment
and experience, in estimating the influence
Of the prevailing wind upon his shot.
