Rae Will IOin the Veterans.
Large Delegations Coming from
Colorado and Territorial Points.

The department of Colorado G. A. r
encampment, to be held in this city the

and Gen. Rae. of Minnesota, have been
invited to attend the encampment. The
latter is an old companion at arms and a
warm personal friend of Gen. j. w.
Fisher. He has often expressed a desire
to visit this portion of the West, and it is
more than probable that he will spend a
couple of days with the department of
Colorado veterans. Gen. Miner will be
underlined for a speech on one of the two
evenings of the session.
The decoration committee selected last
evening includes L. S. Smith, j. H.. God

gates will attend the encampment. Fully
seventy-ive members of the department
have already signiied their intention of
being present, and letters asking that &C
commodations be engaged are being re-
ceived daily. Reduced rates to Cheyenne
and return, tickets good from the 18th to
10Th insts., inclusive, are offered by many
Colorado and Nebraska lines, while, the
Union Pacific in Wyoming has taken a
similar course to assist in making the
event a success.
The G. A. R. band under the leader
ship ofP. +. Powelson is practising night
ly and the members have become quite
proficient in the manipulation of their
odd instruments.
The department council of ~administra-
ton will meet at the Inter Ocean hotel,
Monday. the 10Th inst.
The encampment proper will last two
days. Speeches will be made each even
ing and a supper will be served one of
the two nights.
The capacity of the large Y. NJ. G. A.
hall will be severely taxed during the
encampment. Each member of the or
der will be privileged to invite two friends
and the throng will be swelled to large
proportions by admittance of the press
gang and prominent citizens.

The appended invitation was received
and accepted by both houses of the legis-
lative assembly yesterday afternoon:
office General Superintendent Union
Pacific Railway, Cheyenne, Feb. 90
To the Honorable Members Of the
Tenth Legislative assembly of Wyoming.
GENTLEMEN The Union Pacific Railway
company most respectfully extends the
courtesies of their line in the way of a
complimentary excursion, to the members
and their families to n point on the
line, at such time within the next five
or six DAYS as may be decided upon.
If accepted, kindly advise us so soon as
possible, in order that proper prepare
tions may be made. The above invita-
ton includes all officers and attaches of
the assembly and their families. Very
respectfully, Il. DICKINSON,
General Superintendent"
Immediately upon receipt of the cour-
teous note the following named gentle
men were appointed a joint conference
committee to select the route to be trav-
eled: Messrs. johnson, Grant, Kuyken-
dali, Symons and Hammond. The commit
tee interviewed Mr.. Dickinson and heard
a number of interested parties on the
subject. Several propositions were dis
cussed. but it was finally decided to leave
the city Saturday afternoon, remain in
Denver until Sunday evening and return
in time to resume work Monday morning.
This conclusion wa reached on account
of the enormous amount of business to
be transacted IN both houses in the few re-
naming days of the session.

TO H GOVERNOR.
The Maverick and Preferred Stock
Bills Sent to His ExCelIency.
Legislature Will Visit CoIOradO's
Capital Saturday and Sunday. ,
Another Substitute for the Anti
Gambling Bill in the House.
Amended and Passed.


The maverick bill was passed. in the
council yesterday under suspension of the
rules by an unanimous vote. 1t vas i'm
mediately returned to the house and that
body concurred in the amendments sug-
gested by the upper house. The enrolled
act creating a territorial live stock com
mission is now 10 the hands of his excel
lency and only lacks executive approval to
become a statute and superscde the OBJ
noxious operative maverick law.
The amendments made by the council
were not material and were readily ac-
copied by the introducer and supporters
of the measure. One alteration provided
that the commission should be required
to advertise the sale of mavericks only
ten days this year, but twenty days here
after. 1t would be impracticable to com
ply with the original provision of the bill
on this subject for the current year.
Another amendment made unfaithful
inspectors amenable to the law the same
as ministerial and judicial officers.
An alteration suggested by Mr.. Holli-
day was rejected. 1t provided that in
no case should a person Of VIGOROUSLY
bad character be appointed as a stock in
spector." Such officer guilty of conduct
unbecoming to one in his position was to
be removed according to the gentlcman's
amendment.
The unanimity with which the council
considered this bill was somewhat of a
surprise.

therefore dependent for support upon
young Hall. DR.. Garrard undertook the
task of securing his discharge, but en-
countered great difficulty from the first as
the young soldier himself suffered from no
disability. Finally Congressman Towns

complished the object by a strong per
sonal appeal to the secretary of war.
Hall is already engaged as the assistant

Dire rumors OF a disastrous wreck on
the Union Pacific, east of this city, we're
in circulation last night. Sifted down the

to be almost without foundation. A

ANOTHER PIAsE.

The latest in the anti gambling bill
lines is a substitute for the amendment
introduced Wednesday. This is a local
option measure empowering the authori-
ties of Incorporated towns to license, tole-
rate or suppress the evil. The law would

enforced in a number of towns in the ter
ritory.

of the whole and subsequently recon-
mitted.
