our water supply.

The city council having under consider
alton preliminary measures looking toward
the establishment of filtration beds for tho
water supply'of this city, our tax payers
should find a way to make known to the
council that it has their support in this
very necessary enterprise, which. however
costly it may be, seems to be an imperative
necessity. The impurities in the water
furnished to u citizens through the city
pipes are so great aud so nauseous, that
it is = wonder that they have not caused
an epidemic of disease here before this.
The greatest sufferers from this impure
water are the poorer classes who have not
the means to provide themselves with cx.
pensive filters. There is no doubt that it
is the duty of the city, being
the owEer Of the water works,
TO provide our citizens. by means
OF filtration, with pure, wholesome water,
and THE LEADER is pleased to learn that
the city council appreciates its duty in the
premises and is about to construct and
maintain a proper ~filtering system in con.
nection with the city wster works.

The first performance given by the Zozo
company in this city, last evening. is Ger
tainly worthy of more than passing mem
ton. AS the train did not arrive until
nearly 6 o'clock yesterday evening,
Manager Wheeler experienced much
difficulty in getting the scenery in position
in time for the play, but BY hard work
the scenery was placed in position
and everything Lweut smoothly.
The scenery can by no means be said to
constitute half Of the performance, as by
the united efforts of the splendid troupe,
Zoso was put on the stage in q name
which has never been equaled by any
troupe in any other play heretofore in this
city. Among those who deserve special
mention, are Miss Blanche Curtisse, the
famous Vassar beauty who. as ''Zozo, the
Magic Queen completely cap
tured the audience with her beau
ty, fascinating manner and dramatic
conception. Miss Mamie Lorillard as
Zelda was splendid, and her dram attic
portrayal of the character was excellent.
o. D Jones, as Lorenzo the demon cap
tain, was all hat could be desired, and
won frequent rounds Of applause. Miss
Annie Davis, as Herbert Randall" cap
tain of the lost ship, was perfect. and she
is certainly the right young lady for that
position, if a lady must fill it,
and it is doubtful whether any
man could better portray the part.
Louis Ferrall as Donovan Rosy" and
Howard james, Jr. as "Cupola Cupid
are both excellent and caused frequent
bursts of laughter and applause. Edward
Giguere as Tommy Tucker" was very
comical, while his singing and warbling
brought down the house.
The company will give a performance
this afternoon and this evening with new
scenic and dramatic effects.

Nowhere in the West, or in the East,
will be found a greater number of private
carriages and b~uggies, according to the
population, han in Cheyenne. The su-
perior style and finish of these vehicles is
a surprise to strangers who are ignorant Of
the fact that this city has one of the most
extensive carriage manufactures in the
country. The Cheyenne Carriage works,
corner Eighteenth and O'Neil streets,
have, under the super1ntendency Of VIM.
Richardson, attained an enviable reputa
ton for strictly first class work. far superior
to any that is turned out elsewhere. And it
is well to remark right here that it is
necessary to have an extra grade Of work
manship on all vehicles to be used
in this altitude. because of the dry
ness OF the atmosphere and the con-
sequent liability of the woodwork to shrink
and spoil. Our people have tried Eastern
work and they have learned from bitter
experience hat it doesn't pay. There
fore they buy the best grade of carriages
manufactured right here. which are sold
with a guarantee Of the manufacturers.
Superintendent Richardson, of the
Cheyenne Carriage works, uses nothing
but the best material of all kinds in the
manufacture of his vehicles, the best sea-
soned wood, the finest leather and steel
and the best of imported cloths. The
company has recently largely reduced the
prices OF all wagons and carriages now on
hand, and now is the time to purchase
frst-class vehicles at low prices. There
are on exhibition and for sale in the store
rooms of the factory top buggies, phae-
tons, surveys, carts, ranch -buggies, road
wagons, the Whitney buckboards, two
seat Concord wagons, etc, all of which are
offered at reduced prices.
