WUNDERLIH'
Abatement Of Small Pox at the
Divide.

Some ten days ago Mr.. Charles Wunder-
Itch died suddenly Of small pox at his hotel
at Divide. He was not considered in a dan
gerous condition, and, we are informed, had
not left his bed. DR.. Day, his physician had
been absent from him only about fifteen
minutes, and found him dead on his return.
We are informed that the rumors that Mr..
Wunderllch's death was caused by exposure
prematurely, are utterly untrue. He died
suddenly and unexpectedly, at hall: past six
O'Clock in the evening.
Palmer, who died in a Tie Camp about four
teen miles above Wunderlich's, had slept at
the Divide hotel with a sick H.an, who, i'al-
mer was Informed, had the black measles.
The man in leality had small pox, and after
Palmer's death from 8 virulent case of that
disease, he was at once buried in his blank
cts and his entire effects burned to ashes.
There are now only three cases OF small
pox at Wunderlich's, all convalescent.
We are Informed that there is one man
dangerously i'll with small pox at LaVells log
camp, and it was reported i'll Butte last night
that there were some twenty odd cases OF
ths disease near Hensiy's some fifteen miles
down Deer Lodge valley.
Il is SAID that Wunderlich's hotel at Divide
will be torn down as soon as the
patients now in it are recovered, and shat
everything in and around it will be burned
up. Trains no longer stop there and persons
from that neighborhood experience much
inconvenience in getting Their mail at Mel
rose.

THE BENEFIT
To Professor Speck at Caplice Hall

A larger and more enthusiastic audience
than ever witnessed the fourth and last per-
formance of Esther last evening, Or the &C.
casioA of the benefit rendered to Professor
Samuel Ii. Speck.
In addition to a most successful rendition
of Esther, a number of f~avolite vocal selec-
tons were given between acts, which were
received with the most generous applause,
At the close of the second act Profe.or Speck
sang kingslcy's celebrated "Three Fishes,
and received a double recall, singing a
strange and pathetic ballad about a dumb
woman, and making the hit of the evening.
The Professors vocal powers had doubtless
led the audience to believe that HI could
make a speech, and he consequently took
some pains to disahuse Their minds of that
idea, compromising them for the ~di.appoint-
ment, however, by his magnificent singing.
Altogether, the entertainment was most
satisfactory, and was no less gratifying 10 the
audience than it must of necessity have been
to Mr.. Speck. The ladies and gentlemen
who contributed SO greatly to the success of
the evening deserved and received warm
thanks frem the beneficiary and the audience
alike, and the charming singing of Miss Lena
Wallace enfol ced the generally felt regret
that she IS not a permanent resident of the

Small Pox,

The Mayor and city authorities are con-
tinutng a vigiIant watch over the small pox
patients in cutie and the surrounding coun-
try, but fro N the absence of new cases for
several dayg, aud the convalescence of most
of those already taken, there is every reason
to believe that the progress of the disease has
been completely stayed. There have been
no new cases since Monday last, and all those
existing last night were pronounced conval-
esceut, with two exceptions. The exceptions
are the six-year-old girl of Mrs. Yates, and
Mrs. brakes thirteen year cid daughter.
Neither of these patients is thought, how
ever, to be in = dangerous condition..
Young klink, who died at the pest house
night before last, at IL o~'clock, had contracted
the disease at Wunderlich's some two weeks
ago. lie was buried yesterday afternoon at
2 o'clock, and thus one more victim is scored
to the criminal carslessness on the part Of
persons at Divide, which prevented the pub
lie or The city authorities from obtaining
timely nowtadge of the existence of this
loathsome disease.
While there is no earthly foundation for
the sensational reports in circulation in out
lying DISTRICTS, or for any dread Of a lural
epidemic, it is well for every citizen to con
tisue to keep careful watch over himself and
his neighbors.

A Merited Compliment.

Now that The three regular performances
of Esther nave been successfully given IN this
city, it is only appropriate and timely to say
that there exists a lively appreciation in our
midst of the grace and sweetness with which
Miss Lena Wallace rendered the title role.
Thursday night, at the last representation,
Miss Wallace was three times recalled, and
received the handsomest bouquet of the sea-
SOL, slnglngi in a most enchanting manner the
familiar song, ais it a Dream," followed by
a charming chonson from the opera Peric0lc.
Her many admirsrs will eagerly avail them
selves OF the last opportunlty-tor the present
OF hearing her sing, which will be afforded
tonight at Caplice Hall, at the complimentary
benefit to be rendered to Professor Samuel
Il. Speck.
Mr.. Speck's zeal i'll a worthy cause,
and success in the production of Bradbury
~cantata, guaranty an Overlooking house to-
night at his benefit. Esther AMI additional
attI actions will be on the programme.

Poor Richard Roe.

This unfortunate man was again assaulted
night before last-or rather, early yesterday
morning in q Main sire ct saloon. We feel it
our duty to say just here that Richard will
continue to get into trouble unless he reso-
lutelv sbseAts himself from the saloons and
gambling houses Of Butte. This time his as
,ailsnt was one join Brady, and the penalty
inflicted at the complaint Of the much abus-
ed Richard was five dollars, with a minor &C
commandment Of costs. Brady pleaded guilty,
but we warn Richard that his name will be
changed to Re,p if this sort of thing contin.
ues much longer.

DENTISTRY.
AS Practiced at Silver Bow Juno
ton.

Early Yesterday morning a delicate ard
skillful operation was performed by an un
knowe practitioner, at Silver Bow junction,
in a mastery and effective manner. Such
Was the proves of this dentist that his un-
fortunate patient, after having his upper front
teeth extracted, is now reposing in the Sis
sers' Hospital awaiting developments. He
complains much of the brutal force used by
the person who extracted his teeth, and the
savage character Of the instrument employed.
1t appears that Mr.. Savage, the patient allud-
ed to, had INDUCED in some little pleasantly
with a friend, and had nit him in the back of
the head with y brick tied up in a hsndker-
chief. After this amusing piece OF business,
Savage went Oh the town and incurred the
enmity OF the friends of the nan he had buff
fsted 50 playfully, so much so that the said
friends went after him and chased him to
earth in a box car. After shivering and
freezing for some time in his house of refuge
Savage stuck out his nose and at the same
time fired his pistol to let the people know
he was in the vicinity. The ball struck an
innocent stranger who was standing near by
and girdIed his stomach, leaving him nothing
more serious than a blue skin IL ark rs a me-
mento. Just 1t this point the party in am
bush rushed forward and returned the shot,
which they had reason to suppose was fired at
them, and q skiliIul surgeon dentist i'll the
crowd pointed his little gun in such a way as
to take cut MIR. Savage's upper front teeth.
The latter iInme tiately discovered that he had
bit eff more than he could chew, and came to
the Sisters Il spltsl in Butte. The lnnocen

ruQely is named sullivan, and is said to have

Our New Banking House.

We have the pleasure Of welcoming
to Butte the new house of HOge,
Brownl.e X Co., recently organized in
salt Lake, to do banking business in
this city. The new firm will shortly
open in the first floor of the handsome
new brick building on the orner Of
Quartz and Main streets, which is being
put Up 10y Mr.. James RenshaW for r.
c. Chambers, Est, Of the Ontario mine.
1t has been rumOred that Walker Bros.
and r. G. Chambers would be heavily
interested in the new enterprise, but
this is denied.
The Salt Lake Tribuneof the 9TH inst.
speaks OF the n w bank as follows;
The new firm will be Hoge, Brownlee
x Co.. and the several members are
VIM. l.. Hoge, NJ. B. Brownlee, F. +.
Sargent and F. R. Mcconnell, all Of
whom are known in business and social
circles in Salt Lake.
Mr.. HO4e, for the past six years in his
position rs cashier i'll Walker Brothers
bank, has made for himself the reputa-
ton of Il conservative, honorable and
capable business man, and the same may
hu said OF Mr.. Brownlec, who, for a
longer time, was CHIEF broker with
Walker Bros.
Mr.. Sergeant is we'll known here through
his long connection with the Ontario Com
psnv, and MIR. Mcconnell has identified him
self with our people through his position as
general western agent of the Union Pacific
railroad.
The management of the sank will be in
the hands of'Messrs. HoGe and Brownlec, who
will have sole control of She business.
The bank will be locattI in Chambers
new block, which it is tx 2ected will be Com-
pleted in January, when the new firm will

business of Butte.
We predict a long and successful career fol
the new bank.

There are in every community men wbo.e
opinions carry weight with the general pub
Tic. There must Of necessity be representa-
tive men In every republic, through whom
the mass of the people may safely speak and
act. 30 in every county, town and city there
are nen who are tactitly acknowledged to be
proper spokesmen for the people. In a GER
TAIN sense they are experts on public opin.
ION, just as q man who has devoted a life
time to the study Of chemistry would be chos-
en- ameng an assembly to express the gener-
al opinion on that subject.
Happily for the settlement of a vexed oues-
tlsn the persons chosen to speak for the citi-
zens OF school district No. las to the best
plan to escape from the dilemma in which
the taxpayers Of the district now find them
selves, are men of whose sound Judgment and
unflinching integrity there is and can bs but
one opinion. They have agreed unanimously.
after weeks Of careful deliberation, and after
the exercise Of the utmost business foresight
and acunAer that the present school building
$ utterly unfit for school purposes, that the
hest interests Of the dirtrict demand that it
should be sold, and that tho only feasible
plan of disembarrassing the property is to pay
the contractors a certain sum Of money on
condition that they will cry quits. Now no
man regrets the necessity more than do the
members Of this committee, and every voice
opposing the settlement is in effect a reproach
to those who have permitted the peoples in
terests to become so disastrously entangled.
Yet who shall take upon himself to say that
Messrs. W. A. Clark, G. c. Thornton, A. w.
Barnard and Chas. Andrieux, have tried in
vain to solve this difficulty d? Is there any
objector-with the same business tact and ez-
perience, who has studied the subject as care
fully as they? We doubt it. Indeed we do
not believe that any man of intelligence in
this community will or can do aught but en-
dorse their opinion as expressed in their re-
port, published In the MINER yesterday
morning.

Esther.

The third and last regular performance of
Esther came off last night to a full house,
and in a most satisfactory tanner. The
manly beauty of the guards again exercised
a stunning effect on the audience, only
equalled by the grace and beauty of the

specific mention of all who took part, but it
may be safely said that each did better than
every other and looked handsomer than any
other.

Mr.. Hensley emphatically denies that there is
a single case of small pox in his neighbour

dence. We take great pleasure in correcting
the report that small pox exists in that per-

German Emigration

Emigration, which since 1913 has
been one of the great features OF
modern Germany, is a revolutiona-
ry movement, for the men who go
are chiefly of the moderately wealthy
middle class. They leave, but they
do not return. They and their child
rem remain to strengthen and enrich
the Republic beyond the Atlantic,
where CONSUMPTION is unknown,
right of meeting unfettered and
Junkerdom abhored. The memory
of the Fatherland remains, but it is
a memory only, not living anxiety
to return to help on its progress OF
enhance its prosperity. But this
exodus has been chiefly OF
the middle class, and the
millions who have gone have but &C.

A New Variation of Hydrophobia.

4 boy lately died at the Sainte
Eugenia Hospital, Paris, of hydro
phobia. His saliva, taken four hours
after death, has been found by NJ.
Pasteur to have remarkable proper
ties, causing what appears to be
new disease. Two rabbits immedi-
ately inoculated with the saliva di-
luted, died in about thirty-siX hours.
Other rabbits were inoculated with
the saliva or with the blood of
the first, and death ensued
even more rapidly. The process
was several times repeated, and with
like effects. The animal in five or
six hours loses APPETITE, afterwards
becomes weak and paralyZed, and
at length dies of asphyXIa. The
windpipe is good deal congested
and shows hemorrhage. There is
also swelling of the ganglions on
either side, and of the groin and
axille, etc. NJ. Pasteur has OBJ
served in the blood of the inocu-
lated animals q small organism
or microbe, which (by his method
of artificial cultivation he finds good
reason to regard as the agent of the
malady. 1t is a very short rod,
slightly contracted about the middle,
a sort of aureola appears round it,
probably due to mucous substance.
1t is somewhat like the microbe of
chicken cholera. but differs entirely
in its effects. Fowls inoculated with
it are moi in the least affected. 1t is
further singular that while the rab-
bit is always so quickly killed by the
| effect of incubation, the guinea-pig,
so closely related to the rabbit, re.
tains its vigor aud appetite weeks
after the inoculation. Whether there
may not in this case be a long inoc-
| ulation of the virus remains sab
judice. The new malady seems thus
far distinct from rabies in the alb
sence of the usual incubation, the ma.
lure of the anatomical LESSONS and
