The ssFastinx-Girl,, Mania.


For some time past there has been lull of
Tasting girls.'' They were common enough q
few years ago until one OF them being care
fully watched 'In the interests of medical
science" BY persons specially appointed for the
purpose, died underline surveillance This ca
tastrophe gave decided check 20 the Tasting
girl" mania, which, however, unfortunately,
now shows symptoms OF revival The Glasgow
newspapers report remarkable case OF q fast
ing girl In Lanarksh1re. She is the daughter of
railway surface man, and has not. It is al
legged tasted food since the first day Of January.
AS natural consequence, she Is extremely
weak and emaciated; and assuming that she
really has sustained from food Outing the
period mentioned, and cannot be induced to
take any sustenance, she must certainly be In q
critical condition. The case. 1t ia stated, is
exciting great interest In medical circles in
LanaTkshire." Under these circumstances the
girl, no doubt, has the best advice that Ia to be

done for her. In the meantime, perhaps, the

The Benton Band Benefits.

Tomorrow evening the ball for the benef,
Of the Benton Band will be given at Kenne-
dy's hall and without doubt will be one Of the
most delightful social events Of the season ia
Benton. A large number of invitations have
been issued to parties in and out Of Benton
and q big attendance is anticipated. The
management is in the hands Of men who
generally succeed in their undertakings; es-
pecially when it comes to getting up d ball.
We are assured by the band boys that no
effort or expense will be spared on their part
to render the party tomorrow night a grand
success. The music will be by Prof. Wal
ker's string band and we are privileged to
state that 1t will surpass any ball room music
ever heard before in Benton, and we nave
not the least doubt Of it. Supper will be
served at the Overland hotel from 10 p. m. to
Q a. m, tickets, including supper, only So so.
Everybody holding an invitation should at
tend. It will afford you an evening of rare
enjoyment and besides you assist in forward
ing q good cause. The Band boys are doing
nobly and deserve encouragement.

A Valuable Stock Ranch.

Col. Rodgers, of St. Louis, and who Wis
tied Benton last fall, has formed q partner
ship with Mr.. j. w. Patrick in the stock
business, and will arrive in Benton early in
the spring with q band of thoroughbred cat
tie. They have located q ranch nine miles
from the Barker mining camp, at the mouth
of Dry Fork creek, and it is hardly excelled
in the Territory as a cattle ranch. BY build
ing a fence of half a mile on their own
ground they can inclose in the most perfect
manner a range of about 0 1000 acres where
the grass now grows three or four feet high
IN many places. They will thus be able to
limit the range Of their cattle and give them
what personal supervision is necessary.
There land is also heavily timbered and is
.Withal n Of the choicest locations Of the
Territory. Messrs. Rogers & Patrick will
deal to 9 great extent in a ane grade Of cat
tie and no doubt will realize handsomely on
the Investment. We wish them all possible
success and hope to see many others follow
their example. There IS room yet for many
cattle kings in Northern Montana.

len or twelve days ago a notice came from
the Pension office for VIM. McElhenny in
reference to the matter Of application for in
crease Of pension. Other necessary papers
were expected and forwarded by mail about
the same time and doubtless came duly to
hand. Last week when McElhenny came
in from Barker he applied at the postof1ce and
was told there was nothing for him. After
wards in company with DR.. Wheelock he ap-
piled again with the same result, the post
master not even taking the trouble to look
for them. AS it was q matter Of no small
moment, to him, Mac. concluded on Monday
morning to send a telegram to the depart
ment in reference to the missing papers, but
before doing so he thought, knowing Mr.
Flannagan's faults, that he would try the
postofRce once more. He did SO, and the
letter was handed out to him! Now the

The smelter zn Operation.

1
Jim McDevitt came in from Barker last
evening. He reports chat the smelter started
up Monday morning and that the prospects
are fair that it will be a success from the be-
ginning, as Prof. Foss thoroughly under
stands his business. Mr.. McDevitt's teams
are now hauling ore and delivering from
twelve to fifteen tons 9 day. George Houk,
who came in last evening direct from the
camp, informs us that one of the arches in
the oven of the smelter fell in Tuesday, but
that the damages is not serious as it can be
repaired in a short time. He thinks the
smelter is again running in full blast before
this time. It the smelter is a complete sue
cess, as we expect it will be, Barker will
hereafter be one of the liveliest camps in the
Territory.
