the council at an adjourned meeting held
Friday morning. Tuesday night the coun-
Gil turned down the appointment decisively,
but in the meantime DR.. Connell and

rejection was reoonsidered on the motion

At THE PLAY HOUSES.
The SGanxmanv at the IxruR.

ssThe Manxman" at the ISrug.
Last night the Wolfe stock company
opened for the summer season at the
KruE. presenting Hall Gaines "The Manx-
man." a dramatic version of mis- own
novel. Mr.. Caine IL a tribe unfortunate in
mis- dramatization, for he does not raise
the interest In the play to the pitch at
tanned and sustained By the book. The
opportunity for increasing calamity and
multiplication Of incident is missing on the
stage, and the atmosphere that surrounded
Pete and Kate and Philip can hardly be
established in the limitations OF the acting
version. But enough Of the original Is
preserved to give to it a peculiar pathos
and a poignant sincerity that is the marked
feature OF the Game works.
AS Kate Cregan, in her unhappy love
and unwelcoms marriage, Miss Grace Hun
has the best part she has yet been seen in,
one that calls forth her real ability. She
very nearly realizes all that is In the role,
and without overacting reaches the climax
with apparently some force in reserve,
Her scenes with Philip and Pete are very
well done. Mr.. Frank G. Long plays the
part Of Pete Quilliam with easy confidence,
reaching his effects naturally and certainly,
and making the big-hearted. loving, loyal
Pete a most admirable man. Mr.. Dobbins
doesn't exhaust the possibilities Of Philip
Christian. Nellie Long is seen for the first
time with the company in the role OF
Nancy Joe, and proves herself a sprightly
lass. Fred F'rink and Mr.. Wolfe carry the
comedy with excellent results
rhe piece was very well received by a
large audience, and the opening augurs well
for the success of the engagement. The

the week. with matinee on Saturday.

SURPRISE FOR THE SETTLERS
Interesting Treat Awaits Strangers
Who May Go TO ShOEhOne
OpenfnE.

w. Armour Thompson of Thermopois
while in Omaha Friday waxed warm over
the future OF his coming city.
"One OF the greatest surprises in store
for the people who go to Wyoming for the
drawing of the Shoshone lands" said Mr.
Thompson, will be the sight of the ia
nous hot springs of Thermopolis. The
history Of these springs is romantic. The
government gained control OF them through
negotiations with the Shoshone Indians
by treaty with their great chief. Washable.
Although an unschooled Indian, this prod
uct OF the mountains was wise enough 10
insist upon the insertion Of a clause in
the contract that a portion OF the waters
of these hot springs should be forever free
for public use. The government bought
100 square miles OF this land and made It
reserve that the afflicted should share
the blessings without price
"A handsome stone bath house has been
built by the state for public use and as
soon as the Burlington railroad extends Its
line from Worland south to Thermopolis, a
distance Of thirty-five miles, the railroads
and capitalists are sure to take up these
springs and make the place one or the
most famous in the world. The big spring
boils out of the bowels OF the earth at the
base Of hat-topped hill which rises $50
feet above. 1t runs through channels
which its own waters have cut to tumble
over picturesque falls into the Big Horn
river, making a fall OF forty feet The
water goes over these falls at the rate of
100000 gallons Of water, heated to 1875 de-
grees farenheit, every twenty-four hours.
The waters have been examined by all the
medical experts In water analysis and pro-
nounced the equal of any yet discovered"

MADISON, FIRST BLOOD
Captures the Gray County Delegation
to Congressional Convention.

Word was received here today that
Gray county has elected s. L. Kelly and
John Morrison as its delegates to the
Seventh district congressional convention
and has Instructed these delegates for E.
H. Madison.
These are the first delegates to be elect
ed in the district, and it is for that rea-
son it is quite an important victory for
Judge Madison.
Gray county is in Madison's judicial
district, but it is also the next county
east of Judge Hutchinson's home. For
that reason the Hutchinson people
thought they would be able to land it in
the Hutchinson column.
The county convention at which these
delegates to congressional convention
were chosen was held at Cimarron.
Seventh district man who was in To-
peka today said: We had expected Gray
county to be for Hutchinson. However.
the Hutchinson strength is developing, I
think, and it may get powerful enough to
make Madison some trouble"
