x Highly Pleased Audience.

Bill Nye and his company of musical
stars were given an ovation at the opera
house last evening.
There were many people in the house
who had known the now-tamed Bill ever
before his notoriety had spread to the
limits of the territory. These and other
new friends whom his writings have
gained for him, were disposed to meet him
half way in his efforts to please. Nye's
manner on the stage is entirely his own.
and fits him like a large glove. He is
neither the embodiment of grace nor the
quintessence OF beauty, but for the pur.
poses ofhis lecture nobody would change,
if he could. a line in his loosely ~joiuteC
frame. His own part in the per
Torrance was entirely uupretentious,
but he completely captured Lii
audience upon his first appearance. Man,
things that he said might not be nearly
SO funny in the mouth of another man
but none of them would be more anus
ing coming from anybody else. His imi
tation of the reading of an old tint
school boy was an extremely clever carl,
cature.
Miss Tcrbett fairly captivated the audi
ence with the brilliancy of her violir
PLAYING. Mr.. Thalberg, TIM tenor, suf
fered from a cold. but gave evi 'ence o
possessing a remarkably good voice. MIR
Downev's piano numbers.were beautiful!
executed.
The entertainment was an unqualified
success and thoroughly delighted the
audience.

The Storm Has Been a Severe One,
But II Is Over.

AT I o'clock yesterday morning the
clouds lowered over Cheyenne, and there
was a cutting breeze. The temperature
was 2O' below. At the same hour it was
Az below at Iva, and very cold at other
points on the Cheyenne & Northern
and between town and the Platte river
and for a considerable distance beyond
that stream. There was a foot of snow
at Wendover, and the ground was well
covered 100 miles in every direction from
that station, which was the snow center.
In Western Wyoming the storm had
not abated yesterday morning. To the
border aud beyond, reckoning from CheY-
enne, there was low temperature and snow
and wind. The weather was milder last
evening, and the Union Pacific fears of a
tie-up are gone.
This wave covers an uncommonly large
area. Here is a compilation Of reports
received yesterday morning: Denver,
60; Pueblo. 90; Salt Lake, 30, with
snow at these places and Santa Fe. but
indications OF pleasant skies.
1t has been intensely cold in the North
west, with little snow. Washakie re-
ported 240 below yesterday.
1t was cold here last night. THE
LEADER thermometer showed G. below at
1890. The temperature will be higher
here to-day. and fair weather.

COMIC OPERA.
Notable Engagement of the Famous
Casino Company.

Mr.. Rudolph Aronson's Comic Opera
company, presenting the great New York
Casino successes, Erminie and NddJy,
hardly requires any sort of introduction
or commentator to the tIeater patrons
of the country, for the names of the Cas-
inc and Mr.. Aronson are too widely
familiar; but the announcement of the
approaching engagement in this city of
NadJy and Frminie by this celebrated
company will DE pleasant information to
all who look for amusement in the play
houses. No comic opera has exceeded
Erminie in the favor of the public, and it
Is but fair to say that none is so well wor-
thy the popularity that has attended it.

strong cast, magnificent costumes, com
plete scenery and a large chorus, the en-
tire company numbering sixty persons.
