LOST IN NEW YORK" AT
OPERA HOUSE TUESDAY.

Lost in New York" the successful
comedy drama, zones to the Opera
House mex Tuesday, January 20. 1t
is a mirror of high and low life In a
great city, told in such a manner as to
bring out all the pathetic, as well as
the bright, side of human life. 1t Is
not grewsome at any time, and yet 1t
is perfectly true to the subject 1t pur-
poses to illustrate. There is not a
situation that is not taken from actual
life, and they are not only original
but at the same time so intense as tc
win the ardent commentator of play
goers. The lines of the drama are
simple and bright, and are beautifully
rhetorical. The scenery is very strik
ing in appearance, Seats now on salt

WINDY AT
CENTENNIAL
STORM DOES CONSIDERABLE
DAMAGE TO BUILDINGS AND
OTHER PROPERTY THERE.
Editor of Post Thought Someone Wa
Taking Shot at Him, I'M Now Be-
lieves Stone Was Hurled Against
Window by Wind-larson Hotel
Building Unroofed and Damaged.

Centennial was visited an evening
or two ago with one of the most Sc
we're and destructive wind storms ever
known there. The wind anne from
the southwest, blowing down buildings,
%unroofing sheds, breaking plate glass
windows and performing other detest-
able tricks with the property of the
citizens of that hustling metropolis of
the Centennial valley. A large pane
of double-strength glass in the front
of the Centennial Trust company's
building was broken. Mr.. Wanamaker,
the cashier of the company, who vas
in the building at the time, fearing
that omeone had taken a "pot-shot"
at him with a rife.
Editor Has Time of 1t.
One of the windows in the Centen-
NAL Post building was broken, and
the editor of that paper spent a very
restless night, fearing that both build
ings would be overturned. He thinks
the force of the wind hurled a small
stone against the window in the bank
building.
A shed on the old McCune ranch
house, used by the Laramie Plains
Line company as a tool house, was un.
rooted and considerable damage done
other buildings on the ranch, now un-
der the control of the company.
Larson Hotel Unroofed.
The roof of the Larson hotel was
blown off and the bay window in the
Reed residence was broken. Messrs.
NJ. F. Reed and Will McCune, who
have lived many years at Centennial
assert that the storm was the worst
ever known in that valley. The wind
blew for hours, and it seemed at times
as if every building in the town would
be unroofed or destroyed entirely
There was several hundred dollars
damage done as it was. Mr.. Wana
maker did not sleep, spending the
night in watching the company prop
erty, mailing boards over his broker
windows and expecting that they
would be torn to pieces at any mo
ment.

WYOMING DELEGATES TO DRY
FARMING CONGRESS LEAVE
HALL PRECEDING THE
ELECTION.
Excepted to Action of Delegates in
Turning Down Claims of Wyoming
for Next Congress and Refused tc
Longer Remain Parties-Revolt
Led by Governor Brooks, Who De-
feated Leasing Resolution.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 26.-The dry
farming congress met this morning
with depleted ranks and many expires
sions of regret at last evenings sensa
tional incident, when, affected by Their

oming delegation, headed by Governor

The members Of the delegation did
not even wait for the election of off.
GERS, but walked out of the convention
just before they were elected, after
having put up a hard fight for the next
convention, which went to Salt Lake
City.
Differences Started Yesterday.
The row broke out yesterday after
noon, when the committee on organi-
cation was making its report. In one
section of the constitution was a clause
requiring the city gaining the next
convention to pay for the publication
of the proceedings of the previous con-
vention.
Combine Against Wyoming.
Wyoming delegates saw in this a
deal between Denver and Salt Lake to
switch the next convention to the lat
ter city, as they believed the clause
was inserted for the eason that none
of the small Wyoming towns would
feel like raising the money.
Governor Heads Revolt.
The Wyoming delegation was head,
ed by Governor Brooks, who came to
Denver especially yesterday to help
win the convention. A hard fight was
made, and the Wyoming delegation
succeeded in defeating the clause, but
lost the convention.
Killed Leasing Resolution.
A resolution indorsing President
Roosevelt's pet plan for the leasing OF
public lands, known as the Burkett bill,
was also defeated by the efforts of the
Wyoming delegation. The opposition
of Govern Brooks personally to this
measure was almost entirely response
BILE for it's defeat, as he said the bill
would stop the thrush of homesteaders
to the west and at the same time its
future development.
Salt Lake Swept Things.
Salt Lake carried all before it. Fish
er Harris, president of the CONNER
cial club of that city, was elected pres
ident of the congress.
