on Rodney St., has been thoroughly repaired
and reftted with new desks. =. The cleaning
and readjustment of the grade on Main street
not having been entered upon, parties are at
the old business of flling up mud holes. In
this manner the grade will soon be destroyed,
and the principal thorOughfare willsoon be in
that condition which called for the construc-
ton of bridges across it last winter 80. Day
before yesterday Prof. Steitz did good bust
ness at the First National Bank Assay Office.
He manufactured fsur. gold bricks, weighing

K. &. K.-we acknowledge the re-
ceipt from Maj. Maginnis of the ''Gazette,"
of a red, white and black covered pamphlet,
purporting to be an expose of the mysteries
&C., of the 'diabolical order" of the Ku Klux
Klan. The book Is something after the Brick
Pomeroy style of literature, and full of facts
equally as reliable as these contained in the
ola Crosse Democrat" 1t abounds in italics,
stars and exclamation points, and in that re-
spect is of a highly sensational character. We
shall treasure it as a memento of our cad in
terim" editorship. In consideration of the
source from whence it came we shall refrain
from using it as a campaign document against
the ssGazette.H
THE SEQUELs.-The intoxicated indi-
vidual mentioned in our last as having been
arrested in the Occidental Billiard Saloon for
fourishing a revolver in a very unpretty man
ner, was brought before Justice Duke yester-
day and fined $50 and costs for the indul-
gence in said performance. The literal Span
ish cut throat, to whom we devoted little
item in our last, was brought before Justice
Edwards yesterday and fined $50 and costs
The fellow countryman whose neck he had
lacerated, and who narrowly escaped with his
life, interceded in behalf of his assailunt, af-
fruing that he struck first and that they were
engaging in only little friendly tussle.
THE GRAND TRoT.-The grand trot
which was to have made memorable the last
day of the Fair, but was postponed on ac-
count of the foul weather, took place this
afternoon in the presence of a large concourse
of citizens. At o'clock the horses were lei
up, and after some preliminaries the trot
commenced. The horses were in splendid
condition, and the track was quite good.
Three horses were entered. W. s. Travis,
Esq, Rather" James King, Esq, b. m.
"Madge," and horse from Minnesota. The
first, second and third heats were won by "Rat-
tier" in 2:54, 2:53, and 2:i7I respectively.
This we may be permitted to say is excellent
trotting, and is a credit to any country. 1t
was splendid race. The utmost harmony
and good feeling prevailed and every one en-
joyed the affair to the fullest extent.
DR.. N. J. Nichols, a celebrated Surgeon
Dentist, who won an enviable reputation in
New York City by his skill, is in the city, and
stopping at the Planters House. The Doctor
intends making Helena his home, and We can
recommend the DIR. to all afflicted with den
tai difficulties, one of the most able and
.killfull dentists in the west, and a corteous
and accomplished gentleman.
PAsCHAI.L HoUsE.-No news has been
received in this city concerning the Paschall
House drawing, and the probabilities are,
therefore, that none Of our citizens have be-
come suddenly rich through the agency of
the scheme referred to.
