If our honorable Councilmen wish to en-
courage the !. 0. g. T., they must adopt an
ordinance f~orbidding swan" from bringing
up any more of his "Western Brewery"
beer from Deer Lodge. They (hic) really
must.
Last week Dellinger & Hyde received Is

Thomas and David Cohen, Sr., have also re-
celved heavy shipments of new goods, gro
ceries, etc.
We are informed by Mr.. v. A. Cook, re-
cording Secretary of the Butte Workingmen's
Union, that the Union has accepted an invi-
tation from the proper committee to take part
in the Fourth of July celebration. This is as
it should be.
A Babcock fire extinguisher, presumably
of 10O-gallon capacity or more, passed
through Deer Lodge last week bound for
Missoula City. Yhe Missoulians have better
sense than to take chances on letting their
pretty own burn up.
A pocketbook containing money and papers
and marked 81. M. F., Butte, M. T." on the
cover, was lost last Saturday evening some
where between the west end of Park street
n Main street. The finder will be suitably
rewarded upon leaving it at the MINER Office.
Last week Mr.. d. r. Beck made a very
successful business trip to Glendale in the
interests of Blum's Bazaar, in which he fills
the position Of salesman. Mr.. B. will make
another voyage to Glendale in the latter part
of this week, to fill orders received at the last
visit, and take new ones.
Since a large proportion of the fines i'm
posed in the police court are not paid, it
would be a good idea for our Council to fol-
low the example set by the County Commits
~sioners, and adopt In ordinance requiring
petty offenders unable to pay their fines to
work out their sentence on the public streets.
More work, fewer sentences.
Mr.. T. H. White has re-opened the shoot
ing gallery connected with Hoflman's bowl
ing alley, on east Broadway, where he has a
number of improved Remington gallery
rifles and target pistols of vhe best model.
All who pride themselves on their marks
manship can now have a little schutzenfest on
the side at any hour Of the day Or evening.
Mr.. Geo. w. Stapleton has resigned the
office of City Attorney and retired to the
shades of private life. "Wash" lacks the
fintiness of heart necessary to make q good
public prosecutor. This thing of making a
labored and careful prosecution to secure a
conviction and then RENTING the attorneys
fees SO as to tighten the costs is a mighty slow
way of making a raise. o.. ..'
The e~xellont playing Of Dusseau's new
band in the anniversary exercises of last Fri
day, was a pleasant surprise to the friends of
the new horn-blowing association. The diff
ference between good and bad playing by a
brass band is just about as wide as the gulf
separatinga charitable or heroic frame of mind
from a severe paroxysm of profanity.
Last week Drs. Mitchell & Mussigbrod pur-
chased the Miller buildings, store and fire
proof, fronting on Main street, Deer Lodge
City, for $500. The ire-proof will remain in
place and be used for storage purposes. The
frame structure is to be removed to the Warm
Springs and erected at some little distance
from the other buildings, where it will be of
good service in case of fire or accident to the
Asylum proper.
"Daily and Weekly MINER" is the legend
borne by the new curtains of our sanctum
windows. We had not intended hanging
them for some time yet, but humane impulses
have suggested that warning should always be
given of any impending calamity. So up they
go, and when the. first part of the text becomes
verified it will be in order for the afflicted
public to suggest to us to treat ourselves as
we have the curtains.
Mr.. Rute, who has just opened his new
restaurant and bakery, opening from the Park
street bridge, will also take day boarders. He
declares it his intention to set a better table
than can be found anywhere else in town,
no matter where, and to take especial care in
nrpnairiuo for his gnests what il rathar ho,.d
