LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

One OF the principal features of bust

terday was an effort to force up the
price Of Capital Traction shares. which
failed because none OF the stock was to

appeared willing to pay. The bid price.
however, was recorded almost a point
above that Of Saturday.
Washington Railway common fell off a
traction, with only one sale recorded.
Desultory trading followed down the
list until Southern Public Service Corpo-
ration was reached, when the brokers fell

regarding the establishment of an in

of Mexico announced that the Mexican
delegation would now vote in favor Of
the proposition, as the modification

PLAY OF
SUMNER SEASON..

oS JET oCNSotN.
The closing performance of the sum
mer season in the tent for the benefit
of the library was given at the Opera
House last night, when Miss Shaw
and her company produced Nevada
to large and delighted audience,
made up of some of the best people in
the city. The cast comprised Miss
Shaw, Samuel Wallace, A. B. Pope,
Herman Langheldt, Frank S. Burrage,
Ralph Mccullough, John H%unton. Dan
Staples, Louis Hansen, Miss Merle
Kissick and Mrs. Elwyn Condit. BY a
somewhat happy selection of the men,
bers of the cast, Miss Shaw secured
the presence of Messrs. Wallace, Pope
and Mccullough, who had been mem
bers of a company rendering the same
piece several years ago, and they were
cheered to the echo. The piece was
admirably presented last night, show
ing that the members of the company
had been at some pains to perfect
themselves in the somewhat difficult
melo-drama. Miss Shaw and the 9TH
ers deserve the thanks of the people
of the city, all of whom wish her and
them well in the future. Miss Shaw
will leave Laramie September 90 for
an extended tour through Colorado
and Kansas. She will be engaged in
lyceum work, as well as looking after
some commercial interests.

New York, Sept. 21.-Members Of
the American Newspaper Publishers
association which met recently at the
Waldorf-Astoria, appointed a commit
tee to call the attention of President
Roosevelt to what they assert is the un.
lawful combination OF the paper manu-
facturers to keep up the price of white
paper, and to demand relief from what
they consider IN oppressive burden.
Kindness to Newspaper Industry.
Herman Ridder, president of the
Publishers association and publisher
of the New York Stats Zeitung, said,
In striking at the tariff we are doing
the news paper industry akindness. We
are making it safe for them to extend
their business into Canada without the
fear of a tariff war, which would 9th
erwise make such an investment I'M
safe"
Cost of Production Doubled.
G. F. Underwood of the Information.
al Paper company said that high prices
for paper are necessary by the in
creased cost of production, which, he
claimed, had doubled in a short time.
Very few paper manufacturers, he
said, are making any money.

lightful time. They visited at Lander,

illustrated Lecture.
At Lander and Basin City the gen
tlemen gave an illustrated lecture, re-
ceiving much hearty commentator
both for the lectures and the pictures.
At Basin they attended the Big Horn
county fair. where there was an ex-
cellent display of the products of the
Big Horn basin and other sections of
Big Horn and adjoining counties. The
fruit crop was shown to excellent ad-
vantage, a number of ranchmen hav-
ing displays that surprised those who
saw them.
Going to State Fair.
The basin will send a large exhibit
to the state fair at Douglas next week,
and DR.. Tisdel says it will be an ex'
cellent one, particularly on grains and
fruits. The basin is in a most pros
porous condition, and the farmers are
feeling excellent in consequence.
Attacks Having No III Effect.
DR.. Tisdel believes there will be a
large attendance at the university
from that section, the onslaughts of the
enemies of the university having a de.
cided opposite effect from what was

the attacks Of the Buffalo Bulletin
have been particularly marked, being
well represented. The northern part
of the state is loyal to the state uni,

believe in the efficiency OF the institu.

Enrolling to Begin.
DIR. Tisdel was busy in his office at
the university this forenoon, getting
ready for the enrolment of the stu.
dents. He suggests that those stu
dents from this city who intend enter,
ing the university do so on Tuesday,

those coming from other sections of
the state and whose arrival will be
later than that day. The prospects
for larger attendance than last year
are quite good at this time.

are now on hand, the last to arrive
being looked for on Sunday and Mon

the author and composer, an auto.
