Barry Still Active.

M. j. Barry, who is planning the
erection of an opera house here during
the present summer, went to Cheyenne
last night and this morning telephoned
to this city that he had had a confer
ence with William Dubois, the archi-
tect, who will be asked to draw the
plans of the proposed playhouse, and
who approves the outline of the plans
made by Mr.. Barry, the latter taking
a plat of the two sites he has in mind.
Mr.. Barry is said to have taken option
on two tracts in this city, either of
which is admirably adapted to his pur-
poses, but before leaving for the east
last night declined to enter into de-
tails. He did say, however, that dur
ing the afternoon he was approached
by two citizens, one of whom offered
him a bonus of $3.50 and the other of
500, a professional gentleman agree
ing to sign a five-year lease for a suite
of three rooms in the proposed office
building.

Only ONE BID FOR
THE COAL SUPPLY.

W. - -
Bids for coal, laundry, supplies and
electric current were opened at the
p~ostofice yesterday afternoon and for
warded to Washington. One bid was
received from the electric light com
pany for electric current and n from
the city laundry for laundry work.
These will probably be awarded. The
supplies were bid for by the w. H.
Holiday company, the Laramie Gro
Gerry company and the Gem City Gro
Gerry company. There was one bid for
the Goa supply for next year, but it is
probable this bid will not be received.
Two of the coal companies declined to
bid upon the coal supply, claiming that
the unsettled conditions of the coal
market at the present time would pre-
clude them from tying themselves up
with a cash bond to supply the fuel for
a year. The railroad coal companies
must go out of the commercial coal
business, and neither of the companies
was sure enough of a supply at any
price possible to fix in a contract at
this time to tie up the business. Mr..
Beltz has a supply on hand sufficient
to complete the present fiscal year,
however.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 22.-There has
been filed in the supreme court a peti-
ton for a writ of ~mandamus, directing
the secretary of state to issue, when
the time arrives, his certificate setting
forth the officers to be elected based
upon the constitutional provision reiat-
ing to ap~portionment of the members
of the legislature.
Legality AssaiIed.
The petition assails the legality of
every apportionment act passed by the
state legislature, and holds that there
can be ne legal apportionment except
the one fixed by and based upon the
state constitution.
The State Apportionment.
If the contention of the petitioners,
who are represented by Colonel Walter
r. Stoll and hail from central Wyo-
ming, is sound, the apportionment of
the next Legislature will be as follows:
Number of Members.
Albany county, two senators and five
representatives.
Carbon county. two senators and
five representatives,
Converse county, one senator and
three representatives.
Crook county, one senator and three
representatives.
Fremont county, one senator and
two representatives.
Laramie county, three senator's and
six representatives.
Johnson county, one senator and two
representatives.
Sheridan county, one senator and
two representatives.
Sweetwater county, two senators
and three representatives.
Uinta county, two senators and three
representatives
Big Horn Shut Out.
If all our legislative appointments
are void and the constitutional appor-
tionment is held to be the only legal
one, then it would appear hat Big
Horn county will be without represen-
%tation, as hat county had not been
organized at the time Of tie adoption
of the constitution. Weston county is
in the same fix.
viii Make Stiff Fight.
The case will be vigorously prose-
cuted by Colonel Stoll, and the defense
of the statute will, of course, be made
by Attorney General Mullen.
