Prom Tuesdays Daily.
"ADoIs. in this mornings Overland
coach there left for white Pine and vicinity
two of the most worthy and public spirited
citizens of Montana, Messrs. W. s. Travis and
L. j. Travis. Having been for long time
engaged in the transaction of large and ex-
tensive business, they have not only been no.
ted for energy, perseverance,, industry and
integrity, but their daily lives have
been characterized by manifestation of pub
lie spirit in regard to all public Improvements
and benefits, a generosity towards their less
fortunate fellow man, that has gained for
them Territorial reputation and won the
regard and friendship of our citizens. We
regret that they have decided to leave Us, and
trust il Is only for a short season. Wes still
retains his full share and interest IN the firm
of Travis Bros. of this city, and does not sew
er his business relations In the Territory. We
are confident that none could leave our busi-
nesS circle that would be more missed than
these gentlemen, and while We to all outsi-
ders endorse you as gentlemen worthy the re-
spect and confidence of any community, and
express hopes that you may both return, we
wish you wherever your footsteps may tend
happiness, health and an unbounded success
BATHING HOUsE.-We take great
pleasure in presenting to the public this
morning the advertisement of E. Franks
B1tn House, an INSTITUTION well known 10 our
citizens. Mr.. Frank has, by much study and
a careful observation of the relations between
cause and effect, succeeded in producing IN
this Territory an almost lnfalllble remedy for
those diseases so common to mountain coun-
tries, where constant exposure results IN
mountain fever, rheumatism, etc. This cure
he effects by means of his Russian Baths, with
which he warrants to cure. All those who
are afflicted we advise to call and give them
a trial. In addition to these he has superior
facilities for giving all kinds of baths-hot,
cold, Yapor or sulphur. His baths are clean,
airy, and kept as neat as . parlor. A mag
nihcent tOnsorIal department Is connected
with his mammoth establishment, to which
we invite the attention of all who are deslrous
of becoming purer.
MAIL.-The coach came in last night
with seventeen sacks of mail, but consisting
almost exclusively of papers, dating from
the Salt Lake Post 0fice authorities viii In
sist upon sending every paper before paying
any attention to letters. The letter part of
the mail due is what our citizens desire and
positively need, and by q little more trouble,
these could be sent first. Unless we change
our present sentiments, we don't much
care If Wells, Fargo 20. throw of every
paper mail for the next three months. There
Is no excuse for such incomprehen ensible stu
pidity or negligence as is manifested in the
forwarding back mnils to our citiIens.
