Dakota With Bandanas

Wnen DAKOTA fails to loom UP al great
public gathering, the hyperborean blasts
must howl as they never howled before,
and when a national convention fails to
hear from the great territory there will be
good skating on the equator. Dakota is
always at the 'front.' land during the conven.
tion in st. Louis she was represented by
over 100 of her most aggressive and pro-
gressive citizens Among those who were
seen by the TR1BUNE's special correspond
ent were Governor Church, Treasurer
Lawler and Auditor Ward of Bismarck.
The governor met many old-time friends
from New York and other portions of the
nnion, and there were few more popular
men about the Southern hotel. 1t was diff
fcult to go to hotel without meeting Da-
kotan. jamestown was represented by
the popular Tony Claus, the winsome
Major Murphy and the Athletic Beals.
Capt Alex Griggs Of Grand Forks was
present with his fierce black beard and
Colonel Boynton was kept busy by citizens
who mistook him for Grover Cleveland.
Colonel Gale of Canton, Colonel Webb of
Pembina, alternates Peemiller and Lally,
Eugene Lodewick of Aberdeen, Major
De Groat of Red River Valley, Major Pal
mer of Yankton, Tracy Pratt of Pierre
and A. E. Cole of Fargo, were all in the
vicinity of the fire works. Commissioner
of immigration Mcclure, Attorney Cen
eral Templeton and hosts of other DakO-
tans loomed up in the procession, and Col.
w. r. Steele and Geo. II. MegQuier. the del
egates who represented the territory in
the convention, were on the front seat of
the band wagon. But of all the illustri-
GUS and unterrified DakOtans none were
more conspicuous than Squatter Governor
Hannifin, who during the first days pro-
ceedlngs occupied seat on the platform in
company with the numerous other leading
statesmen of the day.
Never in the history of Dakota has she

convention, and every citizen of the great

was proud of the fact that as deep an in.
terest was manifested in the case as though
the light was being made for the votes of a
powerful state.
At the close Of the convention COM
mlttee of prominent citizens of st. Louis

dered them a reception which for hospi-
tality and eclat could not have been ex-
celled. After a drive about the city,
through the various parks and to the var
ious points of interest the happy Dakotans
were escorted to the Union depot, where
three rousing cheers were given for Da-
kota, and the representatives of the land
OF the chinook and contests returned the
compliment with all the wealth of lungs at
their command.
With bandanas futtering in the breeze
and the pompous little campaign ROSTERS
perched upon their hats and shoulders:
with bands playing and cheers raising the
roof off the depot, the Dakota rustlers
boarded the special train made up for
Minnesota and sped away for the relief
and invigoration Of northwestern ozone.

In the Tolls Again.

Sam Raley is in trouble again. Some
time since Sam served a term in the
county Jail for cutting open the pocket of
a drowsy individual and removing the
contents, consisting of several dollars.
This time Sam is charged with the theft
of a watch, it being alleged that he en-
tered the sleeping room of Thos. WATSON
yesterday morning and removed there
from the occupants time piece. Mr..
WATSON recovered the watch from Sam
himself, who was sporting it about town
and who probably appropriated it more
for the purpose of ornamenting his person
for New Years day than with any inten-
ton to realize on the article. The fact
still remains, however, that he is guilty of
larceny and will be punished according to
law.
Sam attempted to escape while en- route
to jail in custody of a policeman and the
officer found it necessary % caress his
head with a billy in the encounter which
followed.

Bishop Warren of Denver, formerly
pastor ofthe Methodist Episcopal church
of this city, preached a powerful sermon
at the Congregational church Sunday
evening, to one of the largest assemblages
ever gathered in a house of worship in
Cheyenne. The eloquent sermon was
keenly enjoyed by all present, and the
sparkling gems with which the discourse
was lnterspersed will be treasured by the
hearers for many a day. The reverend
gentleman's oratory has been greatly i'm
proved since his pastorate here, and to his
brilliant thoughts he gives a classic cloth

speaker. His rhetoric is of the clear,
bold, concise style SO seldom encountered
in tie delivery of church dignitaries. He
speaks to the point, rounds off every sem
tence with a fine polish and dissects his
subject thoroughly. His efforts are never
unreasonably prolonged, but nothing is
left unsald which should not be forgotten.
Bishop Warren and family are enroute

tour of japan. The Methodists of Den
