Laramie was the home of Bill Nye, and here he founded the Boomerang, a journal of somewhat fitful existence, and wrote the articles for the Chey- enne and Denver papers that brought Aim into prominence as a humorist.
 It is worthy of notice that some 30 years ago Nye and James Whitcomb Riley published a railway guide. What this country needs," they said, "is railway guide which shall not

 The young son of the family had become so hugely interested in the narrative as it proceeded that he had stopped eating his pudding. So proud was he of his fathers valor, his eyes fairly shone, and he cried:
 "He couldn't knock any brains out of you, could he, father?"
 Father looked at him long and earn estly, but the lads contenance was frank and open.

Supper was in progress, and the father was telling about a row which took place in front of his store that morning.
 "The first thing I saw was one man deal the other a sounding blow, and then crowd gathered. The man who was struck ran and grabbed a large shovel he had been using on the street and rushed back, his eyes blazing fercely. thought he'd surely knock

BRIEF HISTORY OF
 BILL NYE'S OLD HOME

The city of Laramie, Wyoming, as we'll as the river, the mountain range, and the county, derives it's name from Fort Laramie, which stands at the mouth of Laramie River. The most famous fort on the old Overland Trail was named directly or indirectly for Jacques La Ramie, a French fur trad CT of the early days. The old maps show the river as La Ramies Fork.

An Opening

Another story has been added to the imposing array of those told at the expense of the newly hedged bachelors of art, who have not found the world as eager for their services as they could wish. While waiting for the manager to be at leisure, a young job hunter took occasion to converse with the office boy.
 "Do you suppose there is an open ing here for a college graduate he asked.
 "Well, dere will be-" was the reply, eff de boss don't raise me salary to tree dollars week by tMr-morrer night"

The Divorce Question Dramatized.

The play or drama entitled THE
Divorce Question" was staged at the
new Municipal Theatre in this city last
Friday evening, the 18th. 1t is play
that has created much discussion
throughout the country OF late, and as
a result the spacious and attractive
auditorium was filled to its utmost
capacity while several were unable to
secure seats.
Righteousness and the deplorable
results of divorce abounded in each
act. The players as a whole did well,
but the characters of Rev. Father
Jerome by Edwin Scribner, Dopie Doe
by Calvin Rische and Mamie by Miss
Marie Steffen, were especially well
enacted. 1t is not likely that our citi-
zens will very soon witness such talent
as these three displayed. The last two
named represented the boy and girl
forsaken in infancy by their divorced
parents, cast adrift on the wocld and
lost so to speak.
A pathetic vein permeated every act
and reached all auditors. The play

The excitement and indignation which
permeated Mineral Point at a late hour
last Friday night could scarcely be ex-
celled in any civilized community. The
cause of it was a terrible. heart-rending
shooting transaction at the farm home
of kr. Thomas Hartford, mile and a
half southeast of this city, very shortly
afts. 9 O'Clock that evening.
At Mr.. Harford's there had been
gathering of some relatives and few
Others for supper. but when the shoot
| ing occurred only Rev. VIM. Croft and
wife and their four children remained,
and they were assembled in a room
with Mr.. Hartford, his two little daugh-
tiers and son and Mrs Poad, who
served as housekeeper. The grown
people were seated about the room en-
joying a pleasant chat and the little
folks were romping around, excepting
the younger Hartford girl, aged years,
who, more tired than the rest, was sit
ting on Mrs. Poad's lap. Like clap
of thunder from a clear sky there was
gun report and shot came crashing
through the west window of the room,
| blowing their way with merciless force
into the face, eyes and head Of the in
nocent little girl as she sat on the
woman's lap, not over twelve feet from
the window. Mrs Poad also Jared
