President Roosevelt. h a &

nearly a week, yet shows M,
inclination to give 1t to t h q
public until otter the cleo

a rather an unusual thing
for a minister to accuse a gen

he is accredited, of a lack Of
''evep superficial knowledge"

Bears in a Lawsuit

At Berne, Switzerland, are kept
bears that belong to the town, and are
treated as citizens. Their ancestors
at the end of the eighteenth century
were left a legacy by an admirer, and
as the sum came to several millions
of francs, their keepers used to enjoy
themselves very much, the bears
being looked upon as minors. But
after the French revolution Gen.
Bruno, who had invaded Switzerland,
ak on with the bears property
n left them penniIess. Another ad-
mirer has now left them a legacy, but
the bears are still unfortunate, for
the parish of %Porrentruy lays claim to
the money and intends to bring the
matter before the law courts.

have been influenced by the fact that

SCIENCE HALL IS NOT
READY FOR DEDICATION.

Owing to the inability of the con
tractor to complete the work on the
steam heating plant at the university,
Profs. Knight, Nelson and Slosson did
not hold receptions in the new Science
hall this afternoon, as had been con
templated. At some date in the future,
due notice of which will be given, they
will meet their friends and the people
of the city in the new hall.
It was found that the expansion of
the pipes under heat had caused the
bursting of two elbows. These defects
are being remedied and the building
will soon be completed. The radiators
in the new hall were under steam to-
day.

One for Each Of His Wives.

A member of the suite of King lie.
wanika, the Black King, gives an
amusing account of those liberty
dresses which the king bought in Lon
don just before his departure. The
chief, it seems, occupied two solid
hours in the show room of the great
silk merchant, and during the whole
of that time two youIg ladies were
kept busy trying on the gorgeous
costumes as fast as they could be
brought up, displaying their beauty to
the unusual visitor. In the end lie.
wanika bought twelve dresses, one for
each of his wives, at a cost of $500.

MAGNIFICENT PRODUCTION
AT THE NEW GRAND


AS fine an audience as ever assem-
bled in Laramie greeted Andrew Rob-
son and his excellent company at the
New Grand Manager last evening in
the presentation of Winston Churchill's
noted novel, Richard Carvel." Nearly
every sea- in the large Auditorium was
occupied by Laramie's best citizens
and a more appreclative and better
pleased audience v assembled any
where. The fascinating and mastery
story of Richard Carvel is 80 well
known as to need no comment and its
Interpretation last night by Mr.. Rob-
son and his company was almost be-
yond criticism. Mr.. Robson. as Rich
ard Carvel, demonstrated that he has
few peers before the footlights. His
bearing is easy and his presence COM
handing and pleasing. Miss Edna G.
Brothers as Dorothy Manners" also
proved herself an actress of exception
al ability and by her clever work and
sweet and winsome ways shared the
honors of the evening with Mr.. ROBSON.
So completely did they win the hearts
of the audience that at the end of the
third act they were three times COM
PEELED to respond to curtain calls. The
entire company was a most meri-
torious one. The costumes worn were
mo ppiHcep and the stage settings were
elegant.
Manager Marquardt is to be congrat-
ulated on having secured such an ex-
cellent attraction for the patrons of his
house and the attendance last evening
again demonstrates that the people of
Laramie are keen in their appreciation
of merit and will respond literally
whenever given an opportunity.
