THE oRRIs ODER COMPANY.

The surest test of public apprecia-
ton of a week-stand company is the
b~oX-ofice receipts. and the Orris ODER
company is therefore to be congratu-
lated. Every night the receipts have
risen higher and higher. The COM
pany makes no pretensions to being
the best company on the boards, but
leaves the public to pass judgment up
on its capabilities. One thing is sure,
it is composed of very clever artists
and is capable of pleasing the public
to "A degree far beyond the powers of
the ordinary troupe. The management
is first-class and the fair treatment ac-
corded patrons has lent in a great
measure to the popularity of the Orris
ODER company with the public at large.
The production of The Bells last
evening was greeted by a full house,
and the play was keenly appreciated.
The company has decided to remain
in Laramie for another week, owing to
the demand of Their patrons for furth-
er productions, and will close its en-
gagement Saturday. August 8.

Drawing the Lines.

Senator Jones OF Arkansas will remain
at the head of the democratic campaign
committee. but it is now quite certain
that he will have an astute adviser. sena-
tor German, who knows how to run a ma,
tional campaign if anybody does, will he
at his elbow pretty much all the time,
and when he isn't there he will be in call
ing distance. And the indications are that
the lines are going to be more tightly
drawn. Democrats who are not openly
for Bryan and Sewan will be regarded
as being against them, and those who oc-
cupy positions on political committees
will have to retire from them unless they
are willing to assist the democratic party.
That was the sum and substance of the
resolution offered at the meeting of the ma
tional committee in New York last Tues
day, and adopted.
1t is evident that vigorous campaign
is going to be conducted from now until
the election. Whatever can be done for
the success of the democratic ticket is
going to be done. The headquarters will
be in Washington and from there the
campaign will be conducted.

Did the commissioners Act wisely,

1t is a question whether the county COM
missioners acted wisely in deciding not
to investigate the charges made by Mr..
Frank Lamar against the county engn-
Ger. The presumption is of course. that
they were satisfied the charges could not
be sustained, and therefore they did not
want to so into what might prove to be
a long and tiresome investigation. In
fact. the view the commissioners took
Of the charges was pretty clearly indi-
Gated by the remark of one of them to the
effect that the charges were not preferred
until after Mr.. Lamar had been dismiss
ed by the county engineer. However, as
the charges were made by a reputable
citizen it would seem that in justice to
the county engineer it would have been
the wiser plan to have heard the witnesses
in support of the charges and the county
engineers reply to them. That course
would have satisfied all parties concerned
and would have put an end to all further
gossip about the matter.
