publicanos han estado discutiendo ST.

para que Sc hicieran mejoras de utili-

torres han llegado al acuerdo de que
el 1nico medic para cubrir ell deficit es
aumentando las rentas. Pero surgi6
entonces la question de como podria
efectuarse este, 81 aumentando las

WAGON COVER STOLEN
IN BROAD DAY LIGHT.

Mrs. Oscar Sodergreen today notified
the police of the theft of a new wagon
V from the rear of her residence
on Eighth street, at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Frank Foster had ar
rived at the Sodergreen home from
the ranch and thrown the wagon COW
er, which was brand new and cost sew
eral dollars, to the ground in the al
ley and gone into the house to receive
instructions as to the unloading of the
wagon, being absent not to exceed five
minutes, and when he returned the
v was missing. AS the region is
known as "Piety HILL" and as two re-
purters for The Republican, the sta
lion agent, the assistant postmaster
and Deacon Ulen live in a stones
throw of the Solergreen residence,
there is great distress at the reputa-
ton coming to the neighborhood by
this h%igh-handed and outrageous in
vasion of the precinct by rogues from
other and less favored portions of the
city.

MAHARA'S MINSTRELS AT
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT.

Mahara's big minstrel aggregation
that will hold the boards at the Opera
House tonight comes to us with the
reputation of giving a performance
that cannot be excelled. Mahara
Brothers with twenty years experience
believe in the old maxim: What is
v orth doing at all is worth doing WELL"
and they have gathered together this
a thirty colored entertainers who
are past masters in their line of fun
making, including a number of hand
innovation in itself, doing away with
the old time threadbare minstrel show
every one is SO tired of. The Marahas
will introduce into their entertainment
double sexette, on the order of the
"~Florodora" ladies in drills, poses,
fancy dances, grand marches, swell
chorus, all beautifully costumed. This
not by any manner of e deter
from the usual big program offered in
the olio of the show.
The Needles Eye, Needles, Cal, says
of the show: Thursday evening Ma.

strels. In fact the imitation was so
good that there has arisen a question

A stranger giving his name as Will
liam Dwyer was captured last even
ing about midnight by w. j. McCle-
ment, a Union Pacific watchman, in
a box car or the house track near
the freight depot, and was placed in
the city Jail by officer Edwards, says
the Cheyenne Tribune.
The car, which was loaded with mer.
chandise billed TO Green River, had
its seal broken and a case of clothing
in the car had been broken open and
rihed Dwyer, of course, insists he is
not the guilty party, that another man
broke open the car and the box of
clothing and that he had simply en-
tered the car to see what damage vas
done. This fairy tale, however, will
hardly stand with the court and Dwyer
has an excellent chance of becoming
acquainted with Warden Helm at the
state prison.
