A Card.

Our attention having been called to
an article published in the Cheyenne
Daily Leader under the caption Of
Fate of the Railroad Commission
Bill" in which the senators from AL
bany county are called to book, and
made to appear as voting to kill said
bill, we desire to say that the senators
from Albany county are wrongfully &C.
cused in said article and instead OF
voting to kill said bill, every senator
from Albany county voted for such
bill. The bill came up in the commit
tee of the whole and a motion was
made "to Indefinitely postpone said
bill' and every senator from Albany
county voted NO on said motion
Every other measure that came before
the legislature in which the railroads
of the state were interested, the mem
bers of the senate from Albany count,
voted on the side of the people ant
not for the railroads.

LARGE AUDIENCE SHOULD

Everywhere the Polmatier Sisters
are being greeted by packed houses
and Laramie should be no exception to
the rule. The people of this city are
taking no chances on this organization.
They were here last May and render.
ed probably the finest musical
ever heard in this city. The Knights
OF Pythias were SO well pleased with
the entertainment at that time that
they were eager to secure the return
date and the music-loving people of
his city should show their apprecia-
ton by turning out en- mass to this
splendid performance at the Opera
House next Tuesday evening. There
a already been a large seat sale.
The following from the Anadarko
(Okla.) Daily Democrat: THE must
cal entertainment given at the opera
house last night under the auspices of
the Knights of Pythias order, was I'M
questionably one of the rarest treats

ever enjoyed. and the X. P.'s are re-
ceiving congratulations on securing
for our city this high grade attraction.
They were greeted by the largest aud
fence which has gathered in this city
upon such an occasion for many
months. The excellent program rem
dered proved a source of constant sur
prise to the audience, each succeeding
number seeming even better than the
last. The audience, being composed
principally Of musicians and music
lovers, was quick to recognize the fact
that the bevy of fair sisters possessed
unusual talent, and quickly became
enthusiastic. The Polmatier Sisters
possess wonderful musical ability, and
the citizens of Anadarko were indeed
fortunate IN having this opportunity
to hear them"

Mr.. Downey before he left for Holmes
this morning. At that time. while the
charge had been assault and battery,
the county attorney had been informed
that Mr.. Holmes was quite badly hurt
and the charge might be changed to
assault with intent to kill. That was
his impression when he and Mr.. Bath
left for the west. The telephone mes.
sage from Holmes to The Republican
was received later and the information
then was that Mr.. Holmes was not in

The conversation had turned upon
the big men of the legal profession.
Il am OF the same opinion as the
clerk of one Of the circuit courts of
Ohio" said A. H. Petty. OF Urbana.
we had been talking of various law
yers who had made national reputa-
tons, and in that particular circuit
many famous men had practiced be-
fore the courts. The clerk, who had
had long experience and was a man of
keen observation, asked me whom I re-
garded as the greatest lawyer 1 had
ever heard plead. I could not then call
to mind any one who, in my opinion,
stood out conspicuously above a dozen
big men. The greatest lawyer said
the clerk, that ever appeared in a
court in this country was Benjamin
Harrison. He never made an argu-
ment in court room that he did not
instruct the man on the bench That
was high praise. but looking at It af-
terward l came to the same conclu-
sion. He had the greatest legal mind
OF any lawyer in the last 80 years in
my opinion, and many others with
whom I have talked are of the same
belief. Post.
