JOSEPH NEWMAN GAVE
LARAMIE FOLKS A TREAT

Joe Newman and his company last
night gave II of the most delightful
entertainments ever been presented
to the people of this town that love
high class music and good, clean fun.
1t was Mr.. Newman's first visit to this
city but it did not take him and the
other members of the company long
to make a hit. His first song was re-
ceivcd with long applause and from
that time on the audience could not
get enough of him. Mr.. Newman has
a way. too. Of giving good measure and
the end of the program found the en-
tire audience delighted with the en-
tertainmcut and sorry it was over.
Mr.. Ncwman's songs are his own.
He is Il tall slender young man, and
his appearance on the stage in imma-
Culate evening dress, predisposes the
audience in his favor at once. a mo-
bile face that expresses every shade
of emotion and his clear well modu-
lated voice enable him to sing his
songs, both humorous and serious, in
an inimitable manner. His, indeed, is
an unique performance and one that
fingers in the memory. OF the songs
that he sang last night that entitled
Wouldn't. wouldn't it jar you" and
that called My Girl is a Different
Kind were perhaps most applauded.
His humorous readings from Riley and
with laughter. Altogether it is GER
tain that when Mr.. Newman next
comes to Laramie his memory will
still be green and there will be a
crowded house for him.
Miss Jean Brooks. whose exquisite
soprano voice is we'll known and high.
ly priced in Colorado, was not at her
best last night, but nevertheless the
music lovers in the audience recog-
nized at once that they were listen
ing to a first rate artist. Her tones
are sweet and pure and sincere and
most of them have that indetinable
quality that thrills the nerves and
moves the heart to emotion. She sang
the beautiful Chant de Mai" of Mey-
erbeer" and for an encore a little
song of pathos called "Entreaty." Per
haps the audience liked best the dull,
Get melodies of Auf Wiedersehen,'
by Schumacher, a song that seems sim
pie in it's beauty and yet is difficult of
performance. In the high notes. of
this piece Miss Brooks gave some lit
tie notion of what she can do when
she is herself.
Miss Carlotta BiXler is a violinis'
of power and discrimination. She was
recalled with perhaps more heartines.
than any other member of the com
pany except Mr.. Newman. Her hand
ling of the Fantasia Appascionata'
by VieuXtemps was sufficing ant
strong. The most delighting thing sh'
did though was a little Schubert piec'
that was delicate and soft and low an,
went right to the hearts of her hear

10 other cities. where last winter he
made a reputation.

, The Hon. Francis X. Schoonmaker
of New Jersey will speak in Maenner-
Choir hall this evening on the issues
of the campaign. He is already suf-
f~iciently well known here to need no
elaborate introduction to the people
of this county. His address made here
in 1896 is well remembered.
Mr.. S~choonmaker has spent three
weeks in this state and he is much
impressed with its prosperity and
with the fact of it's loyalty to the
sound business principles upon which
the republican party rests it's claims
to the support of the people. He finds
the political situation clearer in Wyo-
ming than in any other state he has
visited, and he is certain there is no
doubt of it's giving a handsome MAORI

The Political Outlook.

Mr.. Schoonmaker today" the elector-
al vote for President Mckinley will
be larger this fall than it vas in
1896. Bryan is losing in the west and

east. The real issue in the west is

Gus mob. which had held possession
of the city throughout the night,
melted. And when the sun arose the
streets presented their usual appear

the city today to see the ruins of the
buildings destroyed by the mob last
night. The city hall was totally
ruined by dynamite and fire. Com
pany G. Sth regiment, of Canton. and
part of the 4th regiment from Colum-
bus, arrived, but there is nothing for
the militia to do. No further trouble
is feared. A revised list of the cas-
ualties show Glen Wade, IL years. and
Rhoda Davidson, 4 years, killed, and
Fred Vorwick, fatally injured. Sew
enteen others received flesh wounds
from gunshots and flying bricks. The

When Director Merriam was asked
as to the cause of the decrease in

the charge is made that the rolls ten
years ago were padded. 1t is claimed
that old hotel registers and other de-

population of the city at that time.
