LAUGHAsLE PRODUCTION
AT OPERA HOIJSE

Not for several weeks has a com
pany at the Opera House been greeted
with a greater amount of laughter
than the "Tillie Olson" company last
night. The play is excrutiatingly fun
ny all the way through, "Tillie Olson
being a droll and new character delin-
cation in this section. Heretofore the
Scandinavian parts have been taken
largely by men, and we have had the
Ole Olsons, Yon Yonsons, the Peter
Peterson and Nibs Nedersens, but not
until last evening have We had much
to do with the Tillie Olsons. Miss Har-
land played well her part, backed and
assisted by a splendid company of
comedians, Miss Keene's Mother
Marvin being quite strong. There
was fun all the way through and little
else, the story having just enough plot
to give right Of way for the spirit of
mirth even in the death scene when
the bank was robbed, Tillie and her
lank lover, "Zeke Rollins" being on
hand at the right moment.

GONE FOREVER

Ten years ago an Albany county,
ranchman put his initials
on a dollar bill. The next day he went
to Laramie and spent it with a mer-
chant. Before the year was out he got
the dollar back. Four times in six
years the dollar came back to him for
produce and three times he heard Of it
in the pockets of his neighbors. The
last time he got it back it was four
years ago. He sent it to an eastern
mail order house. He never has seen
that dollar, and never will. That dol
lar bill will never pay any more school
or road tax for him, will never build
or brighten any of the homes of the
community. He sent it entirely out Of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.

PoLMATIERs cAPTIvATE
AUDIENCES EVERYWHERE


That the Polmatier Sisters, who are
to again appear here under the aus
pices of the Knights of Pythias, at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening,
February 26, are still captivating their
audiences, is evident from the press no.
tees they are receiving everywhere.
The Laramie audience that heard
them on their last appearance here was
literally carried away by their charm
ing rendition of the excellent pro-
gram, and the same rule apparently
prevails everywhere. Look at this
from the Sioux Falls Is. d. Argus
Leader: 1.-THE concert given by the
Polmatier Sisters, under the leader
ship of Miss .Lu Seba Polmatier, was
one Of the musical treats of the sea-
son. The young ladies' can play and
play exceedingly well. Selection after
selection was rendered in a manner
that held the large audience spell
bound for a second, and then the burst
of applause was %deafening. Time and
time again the members Of the organ
ization were compelled to respond to
repeated encores, and the audience
never seemed to grow tired of the eff
forts of the musicians. Too high
praise cannot be given the Polmatier
Sisters, as they r real musicians Of

PARCELS POST
BEFORE CONGRESS

constituents, the express companies,
at the coming session Of congress, If
the recommendation which are to be
made by Postmaster General Meyer
receive the favorable consideration
of the lawmakers.
1t is known that the head OF the
postal department will go on record
as Iayoring a great extension OF the
parcels post system Not only will he
ask that the system as at present
established be largely increased in
scope and efficiency, but he will rec
ommend that the maximum rate for
all parcels be reduced from 16 cents
to ~ cents a pound and that the
weight limit be increased from four
to eleven pounds The use of Wag-
ons or automobiles for the delivery
of parcels will be recommended for
all cities where the free delivery sys-
tenn has been established, and the re-
port will recommend that a special
parcels post system with an extreme
" low charge for service be estah-
lished in connection with rural free
delivery.

COTTON CONTRACTS
HIGHER ON ESTIMATE
In Local Market Sales
Heavy at Advance.

Cotton values took sharp upturn
yesterday on the strength of a crop
estimate by the New York Cotton Ex-
change placing the figures at 1875
600. Previous to the issuance of the
report the market opend little
changed at New York and little low
er at New Orleans Liverpool was a
bit lower than it had been expected.
Following the opening on this side,
some cotton was thrown on the mark
ct and prices eased off a few points
further. The announcement of the
estimate referred to was the signal
for hurrying to cover of a consider
able weak short interest, though Price
and his clique stood unmoved. I'M
proved demand by European mills
was a bullish feature, as was also
the better financial outlook. The
persistent and unanimous verdict OF
public and private estimates
that the crop can hardly be over
100000 bales is having an effect on
the bears, and it is reported that some
have chosen the long side for opera
lions. Throughout the bear ranks
there is lull and a little more grape
which may be supplide in the way Of
the forthcoming Government estimate
on December may dislodge large
block of short cotton. IT is hardly
necessary to say that a denoument
in which MIR. Price and his followers
would be squeezed to the limit would
be hailed with joy by the growers.
New York opened unchanged to 2
points higher for the active positions.
Prices worked a few points lower
within the first few minutes and then
reacted. When the estimate was
read the market spurted upward. Pro-
fit taking in the last hour forced
values 5 to points off from the best.
The close was II to Is points net
higher for the session. Spot prices
were marked up 20 points. New Or
leans opened to points lower. De-
cembar being the greatest sufferer.
After a moderate reaction the market
became buoyant. The close was a
little below the highest, but II to
10 points higher than the close for
Monday. Spot quotations were advan-
ced 1-S cent.
Liverpool was due points lower
and came 5 IL to 7 IL points down.
A little improvement was made dur
ing the session, the close being
steady to 10 points below the pre-
vious close. The market is due to
come to 8 points higher this
morning. Spot prices were reduced
points to 5.99d, with sales of 5000
bales.
The estimate for today's receipts is
$1,000 bales, of which Houston is to
get 10000 against 1850 last year, !;
New Orleans 1880 against 1919 !;
Galveston $4,000 against 16,S62)
Unusual activity was shown in the
Americas spot market yesterday, pro-
badly 500 bales being sold, The bid
ding was on basis Of 10 ga cents for
good middling. Apparently the better
selling basis than has prevailed for
some time tempted the holders to lay
in a little Christmas money. The de-

the treasury of the corporation after
Morris & Company deducted their
40 per cent. Out of the 60 per cent,
remaining, $4,000 was paid to the
Pennsylvania Company for rent and
the remainder was used to pay the
alleged royalty to that company and
toward the payment of the $590,OO0
for the land All of this went into
the pockets of the directors, it is
said. The only actual disbursement
was a quarterly dividend of 2 IL per
cent paid the stockholders.

Mines Not Worked

Tt was declared by Mr. Brandt that
little effort was made to develop the

the men employed and they were paid
out of the sale of stock.
This continued it is alleged, until
