Placed in a False Attitude.

kilograms have been received by Hon.
y. /. Smith, of the council, and Speaker
Pease, of the house, announcing that
Hon. VIM. DAILY will not accept a place
on the board which will have charge of
the construction of the proposed peni-
Tertiary at Rawlins as he is not in sym
patty with the scheme.
MIR. DAILY has been a candidate for the
appointment of territorial auditor. The
APPROPRIATION bill, which included an APP
preparation for the proposed penitentiary
at Rawlins, was vetoed by the governor,
but subsequently passed in both houses by
the necessary two-thirds vote. 1t then
occurred to some one that there was a
possibility that the governor might put a
kibosh on the penitentiary appropriation
by neglectinG to appoint a board to begin
the work of construction. There was uH-
doubtedly no reasonable grounds for ex-
pecting such an action, but the resolution
passed the house and the name of VIM.
DAILY led the list.
Mr.. DAILY was naturally very much
chagrined, as he was in no way a party to
the movement which places him in a false
light before the governor. 1t is for this
reason that he came forward SO promptly
to place himself right.

The Peerless Lolita.

On next Monday Lolita, the queen of
soubrettes, will begin a two night engage
ment at the opera house. The play Sc
lected for Monday is Lotta's latest tri-
umph, PdtoR Ticket No. 2l0. 1t would
seem s%uperfluous to say anything eulogis-
tic of Lolita. She stands without an equal
and can claim the proud distinction of
being the most initiated woman upon the
American stage. Lolita is original; she
has fertility of invention and that none of
her imitator5 can hope to compare with.
Her shows how success she has ex-
haustcd the possibilities of her particular
art. If Lolita has eYinced her natural
aptitude in any one way more than an
other it Is in the facility with which she
masters songs. Lolita is risque without
ever trenching upon the Objectionable.
The sale Of tickets will begin Thursday
and it is safe to predict hat the house
will be packed.

clouds of smoke which permeate1 the
