"Sultan of Sulu" January s.

The attraction at the Frazer thea
ter Tuesday, January S. will be that
easily assimilated potentate of the
southern archipelago of Milanao,
THE Sultan of Sulu." The Philippines
proper were captured by the United
states army and navy, but George AIDE
brought in the sultan of Sulu. He
won that proud old Mormon Moro
with the seductive American cocktail
and the sultan's loyalty has never
been questioned since he discovered
that there is cherry in it, Several
musical and dramatic critics have
gone so far as to call it the real Amer
lean comedy opera for which the
world is supposed to be waiting. How
ever that may be, the patrons of the
Frazer theatre are assured of a feast
of music, prettiness and fun, strong
and well balanced cast which not only
possesses singing ability but histrionic
excellence. The chorus is considered
one of the best singing choruses on
the American stage today. There is
a lot of keen wit, shafts of brilliant
satire, good natured irony and withal
there is a world of real comedy, light,
life, laughter and melody in THE
Sultan of Sulu."

Young Lady stenoaraphers.

For the first time in the history of
the Union Pacific in Cheyenne young
lady clerks have been engaged to work
in the offices here, marking an innova'
ton which is looked upon with
askance by many of the male employ
es, says the Cheyenne Tribune. The
change is due to the fact that it Is
impossible to secure male
but now that it has been tried
it is asserted the young lady clerks
are as efficient and steadier in their
work. The clerks are employed
in the office of Master Mechanic Will
liam INLAND and are Miss Cora NJ. Da-
Wis of Cheyenne, and Miss Agnes John

CHICAGO PARTIES PURCHASE THE
STOCK OF LARAMIE DRY
GOODS COMPANY.
Deal Was Contaminated at Cheyenne
With Mrs. IngersoIl, the Owner Of
the store, and One Of the Purchas-
ers Now In City Arranging To
Close Out the Business.

C. G. and A. w. Lewis of Chicago
today bought the stock Of goods of the
Laramie Dry Goods company, in the
Durlacher building, and will sell it
out. The deal was made at Cheyenne
by Mrs. Ingersoll, the owner One of
the Lewis brothers is now in the city
arranging for the c%learing-out sale.
The sale of this store and the clos
ing out of the stock will mark the pas
sing Of one of the Oldest and most sub
stantial dry goods houses in the city.
For many years Mrs. Mollie Ingersoll
gave the business her personal atten-
ton and direction, but since her re-
moval to Cheyenne the business has
been in the hands of local managers Tor
her, Mr.. Petrie, who recently succeeded
B. ]. Fennel, being at the present time
in charge. While the affairs of the
company have been conducted in a
highly satisfactory manner, Mrs. In
gersoll desired to relieve herself of the
added responsibility Of running two
stores and will devote her entire time
to the Cheyenne business. Her hun
dreds of friends in Laramie will regret
this conclusion on her part, but will
wish her ucces in her newer field.
The Lewis brothers are e~nterprising
young business men and have a snap
and vim about them which presages
that there will be no idling on their
part.

this afternoon stated that R. E. Hyslop,
the agronomist at the experiment sta
ton, about which an attempt was made
a couple of days ago to make a sensa-
ton, practically rendered his resigna-
ton three or Jour weeks ago. Mr.. Hys-
lop told the president that he dld not
care to continue with the university

Confusion viii Follow.
The decision will have the effect of
turning out all the city and county
officials. Considerable confusion will
follow.
Governor Has Power,
The court rules that Governor Beck
ham has the power to fill vacancies by
appointment, and an election for all
city and county officials is ordered for
next November.
Election Methods Outrageous.
The written opinion declares that
the election methods in Louisville are
outrageous and the use of the police
at. the polling places is characterized
as repulsive to citizens, as would be
the use of state troops, nj not to be
tolerated in future elections.
Both Parties Corrupt.
The campaign methods of both the
fusionists and democrats are denounc-
ed, and so is the use of 500, 900 of
campaign funds in the contest.
