A GALLANT COMMANDER
Gen. Henry r. Miner rendered a
Public Reception.
Officers and Civilians Meet TO Do
Him Honor.
An Occasion Which Was Greatly
Enjoyed.

Washington's birthday was chosen as
the occasion on which to tender Gen.
Henry r. Miner, the new c%ommandant
at Fort Russell, a public reception. The
event was one in which the officers of the
fort and the citizens of Cheyenne could
enter heartily, for while Gen. Miner is
admired for his strict discipline and JUS
tice on the one side, he is esteemed for
his gentlemanly and friendly qualities on
the other.
There is no man who feels a warmer
regard for the city of Cheyenne than
does Gen. Miner for he is one of those
who were present on the Fourth Of July,
1867 when in the presence of many army
officers and railroad magnates, the loca-
ton of the city was decided upon and a
strip of bleak prairie shristened "Chey-
enne." The previous year he had
founded Fort Sanders which is now an
abandoned post iU the outskirts of Lara
mic.
1t was natural therefore that Gen. Miz-
ner, on his return here after an absence
of twenty years, should feel a great inter
est in the growth OF a city whose very in
ception he had witnessed.
A special train was placed at the dis
posal of the Cheyenne people who were
invited to attend the reception, General
Superintendent Dickinson having ex-
tended the courtesy.
The officers at the fort have fitted up a
building which is specially adapted to the
holding of balls and it was thrown open
for the first time Wednesday evening.
AS beftted the occasion the walls were
decorated with United States flags while
the stage upon which the 18th infantry
orchestra was stationed resembled a
bower.
The guests were received in the ball
room by Gen. Miner, who was assisted
by Mrs. Capt. Bennett, Mrs. Capt. Van
Horn and Mrs. Capt. Rogers. Nothing
was left undone which might contribute
to the comfort of visitors. The early part
Of the evening was devoted chiefly to
dancing. At midnight supper was served
and after the meal had been thoroughly
discussed Lieut.. Burns, who gracefully
ofhciated as toast master, announced the
toast OF the evening, Gen. Miner"
The applause which followed was deafen-
ing. Governor Moonlight responded to
this toast, and the sentiments which he

SENATOR EDMUNDs has not been
heard from so far during the present
session. He arose in the Senate, how
ever, the other day, and remarked that
"Nobody objects to confederate soldiers
or confederate citizens sitting in this
chamber; they stand just like every
other citizen, no better and no worse;
there is oblivion on that, 1.-THE rebellionl
and, without regard to their previous
history in that respect, they are com
mon and equal citizens, with equal
rights with anybody" This settles that
Senator for a Republican candidate
for President.
