HEARD GREAT SINGERS
AT THE AUDITORIUM.

The zonophone entertainment at the
university auditorium last night drew
only a small crowd, but those present
heartily enjoyed the excellent program
provided by Captain Heavey and Mr..
Burrage The program included num-
bers by some of the finest singers OF
the world, and the remarkable repro
duction of their voices gave one the
impression hat he was actually in the
presence of the mighty artists. Mr..
Burrage introduced each operate Sc
lection with a short account of the
writer, the singer and the composition,
which added to the interest. The in
strument is the best ever heard here,
the auditorium has excellent acoustic
properties and the whole performance
partook of the nature of a musical love
feast. Among the singers represented
were Caruso, the tenor; Miss Ada
Crossley, contralto; Robert T. Blass,
bass; madame Sembrich, Campanari,
baritone; Madam Louis Homer, Emma
Eames, francesca Tamagno, Plancon
and Madam Media, the last number be-
ing part of the mad cen from Lucia
di Lammermoor."
1t has been suggested, and the gen
tlemen have taken the suggestion, that
a concert be arranged for one evening
during the summer school at the uni
~versity and the annual meeting of the
Albany County Teachers institute,
when no doubt a large crowd will be
present.

said today:
Looking for Democratic Help.
1.-THE president has apparently burned
his bridges behind him. He has ad-
vanced a proposition unacceptable to a
majority of his party, and has called
in the democrats. We can give him
twenty-eight votes for a limited court
review amendment and suspension of
the rate pending proceedings in the
court. Whatever votes are lacking the
president must supply from the repub-
lican ranks.
Forty Republicans in Line.
Crane, speaking for the conserva.
tives, said that forty republicans are
ready to vote for a broad court review
amendment. This can that five
democratic votes are needed. Taking
the two statements together, the prob
abilities seem to favor the adoption of
a broad court review amendment,
which embraces a cash deposit with
the court to cover the difference be-
tween the original rate and the COM
missions rates for the protection of
the shipper.

REASONS FOR
VOTING YES
REPUBLICAN, STATES A FEW OF
ITS BELIEFS IN THE FOURTH
COMING BOND ISSUE.
This Year or a Long Wait for the Re-
building of the System-WiIl Pro-
vide Water to Every Section of the
Town-Plenty of Fire Protection
and Lawn Irrigation.

Next Tuesday the voters of Laramie
ter of a new water system for this city
The discussion has been going on for
sufficient time to give every taxpayer
an opportunity to arrive at a conclus-
ion. AS The Republican views the sit
uaton, the following summing up is in
accord with reason, justice and the
best interests of the people:
Some of the Reasons.
/. If water works are not put in this
year it is not probable a city council
can again be secured that will take
the necessary interest required to per-
form the preliminary work and stand
the abuse always heaped upon those
who try to carry through N public
improvement. A delay of many years
might result and without any assur-
ance that future plans would be better
than the present one.
System for Whole City.
2. The plan suggested by the city
administration is broad and compre-
hensiye. 1t will be sufficient for a
quarter of a century to come. 1t no
only contemplates providing sufficient
water for those in the center of the
city, but reaches sufficiently into the
outskirts to always insure cheap at
tachment and ample supply to those
who are compelled to build up new
homes out of the main portion of the
city. This fact is also important to
any manufacturing establishments that
may locate in Laramie, for they usually
build outside the best business n
residence districts.
Plenty of Water for Fire.
3. The ample distribution system pro-
vided would be of in~calculable benefit
in case of fire. There would not be a
single point in the entire city that could
not be reached with water by our eX-
cellent fire department. In a single
confagration it is possible that the en-
tire cost of the system might be saved.
Cheapens Cost of Construction.
A. By doing all our construction
work at the same time and in accord
ance with a welldefined plan, it can be
done at a greatly reduced cost and we
VIII have a system that will be a credit
to the city for a great many years to
come. 1t is the purpose of the council to
use as little money as possible, giving
the taxpayers the benefit of the best
advice obtainable.
Little At a Time Costly.
8. The Republican has followed with
care all the different propositions for
the extension of the present mains, the
building of a new system by piecemeal,
ETC., and must say they have not ap-
pealed to its judgment. The piecemeal
system would give the people first Ia
Vored a benefit, but those who had TO
pay all the way through and did not get
new mains laid on their streets for per
haps ten or fifteen years would certain
ly not be given fair treatment by such
a plan, nor would such a plan be reas'
enable in construction. A little at a
time costs more than all at once
Again, every year the town would be

'SHE DIED
LAST NIGHT
MOTHER OF JUDGE CHARLES
E. CARPENTER PASSES AWAY
AT HIS RESIDENCE.
Mrs. Catherine Carpenter, Who has
Lived More Than Thirty Years in
This Community, Gathered to Her
Fathers, Name of Her Son Last on
Her Lips in Life.

Mrs. Catherine Carpenter, the aged
mother of Judge Charles e. Carpenter
and the stepmother of Mrs. AIDA Ulen
and Miss Carpenter of this city and j..
T. Carpenter of Princeton, Ind, died at
S:03 Friday evening, at the home of
Judge Carpenter, 514 Grand avenue,
after a long Illness, the immediate
cause of her death being heart failure.
Judge Carpenter was away from home
at the time of the death Of his mother,
but arrived this afternoon and will be
present at the funeral. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ulen and Miss Carpenter were with
her at the end. Mrs. Carpenter was
conscious until the end, her last
thought being of the judge, she having
been told a momen or two before the
angel of death came that her son was
on the way to her side.
Came of old Southern Family.
Catherine Carpenter came of some
of the Oldest families of Virginia and
Kentucky, although she herself was
born near Washington, Ind. She liv-
ed in hat state, going with her hus-
band, the late George Carpenter, from
state to state, finally locating in Hi
nois, from whence she came to Lara
mic in 1884, having since been a resi-
dent Of Laramie.
She was of a very retiring DISPOSE
ton, spending much time with the
members of her family, with her house
hold duties and with her books, being
a woman Of wide learning, broad views
of the literature of the day and a think
ing mind that shone t"ranscendenl
through the years. She was born ant
reared a Christian, uniting with tina
church in her early teens, and has no
since coming to Laramie identified her
selfintimately withany of the churche!
here. Her faith was well grounded and
she died as she had lived-a vertiable
saint among her fellow men.
Funeral Services Private.
1t was the desire of Mrs. Carpenter
in life that her funeral be simple and
lacking in display. She particularly
requested that her bier be not heaped
with flowers, and at the request of her
children, carrying out her known
wishes, friends are asked to omit flow
ers. The funeral services will be pri
vate.
Was Long a Widow.
George Carpenter, the husband of the
deceased and the father of the foul
children, died in Illinois in october
1875. From that day it was the con
slant care of the bereaved wife tha'
her children be given a home in eY
cry sense of the word. She took then
to her bosom and their hopes and as
pirations became hers, their trials were
shared by her and her declining years
were watched tenderly by them. Unit
recently she lived in her own home a
the corner of Eighth and Grand ave

made this not safe, she was taken t

That He Will Force His Traducers

Chicago, Ill, April Tt was report
ed here this morning that Apostle
Dowie has asked President Roosevelt
for troops to protect him when he re-
turns to Zion City on tuesday. The
report is that the request was made
in a personal telegram to the president,
Dowie asking that the soldiers of Fort
Sheridan be sent to guard him from
the wrath of enemies.
Church officers Worried.
The General Overseer and Voliva are
unquestionably mucn worried over the
coming of Dowie, but today say that he
is crazy. They are holding secret meet
ings to decide upon the reception to
be accorded him. Mrs. Dowie declares
that she will receive him as a good
wife, Ii care for him. The lady, how
ever, still talks about him. Says Mrs.

will care for him and pray that he will
be cleansed of his sins. | think that he

More Names for Harem.
Mrs. Dowie then added the names of
other women to the list she has al
ready furnished of her husbands po-
lygamous intent. The latest is Mrs.
Handsom, who has a suite of rooms
adjoining Dowie's executive offices. She
is a striking woman in appearance,
and Mrs. Dowie said Mr.. Dowie was
very much in love with her. The peo-
pie of Zion believe that Dowie con
templates making a legal battle to re-
gain his lost power, but are confident
he will be unsuccessful.

ERlE'S new TOWN

ERITON, Pa, Jan. u. 1906.-A few
miles southwest of Dubois, located part
ly in Jefferson and partly in Clearfield
counties, the Erie Railroad has Recently
established this new mining town. A
mere hamlet today, Eriton will be town
of from 1900 to 5000 souls when the
600 or more miners are at work on the
new coal field which the Erie has opened
here A shaft has been sunk in this
eastern end of a territory hitherto unde-
veloped for coal mining
Equipped with the best modern me-
chanical methods, work Of mining the
coal at the shaft has already begun and
the first supply will be shipped out this
month. A seam of bituminous coul be-
tween seven and eight feet thick has
been opened. from which there will be an
output of from 1,5O0 to 1000 tons a day.
Several thousand acres are in the field
from which the Erie expects ultimately
to mine at least 100000 tons annually Of
the highest grade of lower Freeport coal.
equal in quality to the product of the
famous Soldiers Run mine. Tests with
the diamond, carried on for year past
in all sections of the field, show an un-
derlying bed of coal that analyses and
tests have shown to be low in both ash
and sulphur and high in calorific value.
This means fast steaming without clink-
ering and makes the field one of partic
ular value for manufacturers along the
line of the Erie, as. nearly all the best
coal in the reserve fields in the famous
Reynoldsyille basin is exhausted
The property was purchased by the
Erie some time ago and held as a reserve
field against the shortage of supply that
had been threatening for the past FIVE
years. The field. owned by the North
western Mining and Exchange Company,
one of the Erie's coal companies, is
known to contain from 25 TO 30 million
tons and will amply provide against the
rapidly disappearing supply of workable
Freeport or Clarion coal in the Toby
Valley basin. The Kittanning coal. used
for locomotive fuel, still exists inpracti-
cally~ inexhaustible areas in that basin
and it's mining is to be continued
The Northwestern Company will sink

Erie field in a short time, working from
both shafts 70 common center Of the
