NORTH PARK STAGE ARRIVES.
Eight Days Consumed in the Effort to
Get Through.

The long-delayed North park stage
arrived in Laramie yesterday after
noon, having been or the road for eight
days. The greater part of this time
was consumed in an affort to go from
Pinkhamton to Mountain Home, a dis
lance Of only a few miles. The snow on
the roa is deeper than was ever known
before. Mr.. Comfy, the proprietor of
the stage line, with three assistants and
eight horses, made the fight of his life
to get through and had the satisfaction,
finally, of seeing his hard work re-
warded. 1t was almost one continuous
round of digging out Of the snow, one
drift no sooner being conquered than
another one just as bad presented itself.
The Walden mail which arrived yester-
day vas dated January 2Sth. The stage
left on its return trip this morning and
it is proposed to start another one to-
morrow morning. Mr.. Comfy believes
that the route opened up by him will
enable the return stage to make the
trip all right, and he hopes to be able
to resume the regular trips in a few
days. A large mount of mail matter
for North park people had accumulated
in the Laramie office, and this morn
ing's stage was loaded exclusively with
the mail bags. The express matter will
be forwarded tomorrow.

II q HOUSE,

Farce comedies continue to keep in
favor with the masses Of theater goers.
People seem never to tire of being
amused and are ever on the alert to see
a funny show, hear new music and
songs and listen to the ready wit of
the up-to-date comedian. who hurls his
vollies of jokes at them. Charles F.
Blaney, the popular young author, who
producer of farce comedy successes, has
made a study of the public taste and
has succeeded in giving performances
that easily amuse their appetite. One
Of his latest successes, "a Boy Want
ed" a musical, farcIcal extravaganza in
three acts and no end of laughs, pre-
sented by a company of twenty-five ar
lists and an ensemble of pretty girls ar
rayed in fetching costumes, will be pre-
sented at the Opera House, Thursday,
February 8. This farce comedy is as
full of fun as a egg is of meat. The
I'M is clean and wholesome, not one
word or act during the entire perform
ance with those double meanings so
offensive to an intelligent audience,
The music, NEEDLES, songs, dances and
specialties introduced during the action
of the comedy are of the latest. The
entire production is given with special
scenery, trick properties and mechani-
cal effects carried by the company.
This excellent performance must be
seen to be appreciated.
