a return engagement in the opera house
next Monday evening. They are en- route
East from San Francisco where. according
to all accounts, they did a tremendous
business. The performance will be alto
gether distinct from that given here a
short time since. New and taking trav-
estes will be presented and all the old
favorites will be on hand to charm their
friends. As it has been several weeks
since a performance has been given here
it is expected that the opera house will be
crowded on the occasion of the reappear-
ance of the Rentz-Santley company.

OUR GARDENS.
The Astonishing Rapidly of Their
Growth.
Nearly 0ns-Half of the Vegetables
Consumed
In Cheyenne are Raised Here at
Home.

But a few years ago there were not
enough vegetables grown in Cheyenne
annually to last a good sized family for a
week, and yet how changed is the situa-
ton now. An ordinary or casual observer
would not believe what can here be truth
fully stated, unless he had occasion to
make a diligent inquiry concerning the
question OF gardens and vegetable raising
in Cheyenne as the situation exists to-day.
1t has been a pet theory with many that
you can raise anything in Wyoming"
but experience has demonstrated to the
contrary, for to-day there are enough veg
etables and what is commonly called
garden truck growing in the city to
supply the city for well on to six months.
1t is not meant that the vegetables now
growing would be sufficient only for those
who are taking the pains and trouble to
raise them, but enough to supply the en-
tire home consumption for the length of
time indicated.
The LEADER reporter had occasion to
inquire into this matter yesterday and in
so doing consulted several well informed
citizens who gave opinions exactly in ac-
cordance with what has been stated.
There are now well onto 1000 gardens in
Cheyenne large and small-and in each
of them there Is now growing a variety of
nearly everything consumed in the veget-
able line, and in addition to these gardens
there are on the outskirts of the city large
vegetable and potato fields under %cultiva-
ton, in one instance nearly thirty acres in
the same field.
The success that has attended the
efforts of our people to raise vegetables,
ETC., has been achieved by having faith
enough in the fertility of Wyoming soil
to try the experiment, and by carefully
attending to the matter after once EN-
barking in the small but profitable enter
prise of trying to raise in each case veget-
ables enough to support the experimenter
and his family, if he is fortunate enough
to have one. The experience of the past
is a sure and reliable criterion by which
the future can be Judged, and if in view
of the success that has attended the
patient gardeners of the first few years
here Sin Cheyenne, is to be emulated by
others to the extent of inducing others to
embark in the same direction, the time
is not far distant when Cheyenne can ex-
port her vegetables far and wide as
Greeley is doing to-day, and instead of
sending money abroad for the necessaries
Of life, 1T would be coming in, and paid to
us for our agricultural and vegetable pro-
ducts.

TO OPEN.
The Episcopal Church Is Nearly
Ready.

The work of finishing up the interior Of
the new and magnificent Episcopal church
is now completed, except that carpets are
tie be put down, etc.
Yesterday workmen were engaged with
teams blowing up the grounds around the
church, which will be leveled off and put
in excellent shape at once.
The new organ destined for use in the
church has not arrived as yet, but it is
looked for within a week or ten days.
The old organ, however, which is still an
excellent one, will be kept in use until the
new one arrives and is placed in position.
There is some prospect that the church
may be opened and occupied for services
to. morrow, and it is also hoped that
Bishop Talbot will be here to assist in the
exercises.
This church is an honor to the church
and territory, an ornament to the city and
a lasting monument to the fidelity and
f%aithfulness with which Rev. Geo. G.
Rafter, D. D., has thus far fulfilled his
mission as rector of the Episcopal church
in this city.

A fire broke out in a building standing
near the old Pioneer hook and ladder
house and adjoining the alley back of it at
an early hour last evening and the fire
department turned out promptly. The
flames were quickly e%xtinguished before
much damage was done either to the
building or to the contents, which con
sisted of all sorts of secondhand property,
etc, which had been stored there for
safe keeping. The origin of the fire is a
mystery.
Shortly after the excitement had sub
sided the fire alarm again sounded and the
department once more turned out. This
time the alarm proved to be a false one
occasioned by a slight smudge on Upper
Sixteenth street, which was extinguished
by a bucket of water.

Discharged.

The case of the City of Cheyenne VS..
Margaret Henne which has been breuing
for three or four days, was finally heard
and disposed of before Judge Fisher YES
terday, and the defendant DISCHARGED.
The evidence was to the effect that she
had some dispute with a West End citi-
zen who insisted that some very obnox-
ious people were harbored in her houses
or one of them at least-to which the old
lady seems to have retaliated by saying
that some years ago the citizen alluded to
had some Of the same kind of people in
one of his houses.
