Death OF Miss Maggie Thomas.

On March 3Oth last this young lady just on
the threshold of womanhood, calmly closed
her eyes IN death. For a long time she had
fought the insiduous Observation-Disclosures
that was bearing her so swiftly down the
stream Of life, but not until about two weeks
before her death could she think the bright
world was to her a thing of the past, and that
she must go into the unseen Holy. Then it
was she accepted the inevitable, and placing
her reliance Oh the Man of Sorrows, prepared
for that awful crisis which comes to all. She
called her friends and relatives to her, gave
them some instructions ABOUT her funeral and
requested them mott weep for her, and. from
that time until her death she appeared perfect
ly cheerful. Though young, intelligent. low
ing and beloved, she loved life with all the
zeal of youth, yet met death with a fortitude
of one OF more natured years.
On Thursday her funeral took place at her
home Oh the valley. The house and yard
were filed. with sylnpathizing friends, who
listened attentively to the tender and CON-
passionate words of the minister-Elder
Braud-or shed = silent tear as some fond
remembrance Of her, who was no more, came
TO their minds.
Miss Thomas was in her eighteenth year,
and was She daughter Of Mrs. Margaret
Thomas, one Of the earliest settlers on Deer
Lodge valley.
All the relatives have the deep and abiding
sympathy Of their many warm friends in this
community, and the earnest hope that it may
be many years ere such a grief shall again
visit them. s. F. G..

IMMIGRATION.
The Temporary Injunction Creates .
Big Breeze II Butte.

Yesterday afternoon the serving of the
temporary injunction papers OH commission
ers Foster, Jack and Clark, created a storm of
popular indignation in Butte, and
the Deer Lodge move was denounced
in emphatic and unmeasured terms
by everybody. The expressions of con-
domination of the men at the bottom of this
movement to rob the citizens of Silver Bow
county OF their rights, seemingly, had no
bounds, and the strongest words known in
the English language were unstintedly en-
ployed to denounce the vile scheme. Ona all
sides the citizens of Butte, ignoring political
lines, expressed a unanimous determination
to fight the battle in defense OF their rights
and the rights of the people of Silver Bow
county to the bitter end. What the court at
Deer Lodge will do is one thing-what the
people of Silver Bow county will do, if forced
to the wall, is another.

THE SUBSIDY QUESTION.
Mr.. SlesM Answers tho '.In,tepenaent.''

Editor Butte liner:
When the Independent published the
"Anti Subsidy Craze; article, to show that no
principle was involved in Substituting individ-
uals or corporations, | did not answer it for
the purpose Of following up a discussion of
the question further. but to show the logical
results which would follow.
The independents answer only proves
more conclusively. (f it proves any
thing,) that the object OF the me-
mortal to congress should be con-
summated for the protection Of the true
interests of the people Of Montana. If our
people will closely Study and observe the ef-
fects Of the wrongful appropriation of lands
and MONIES to corporations by congress and
state legislatures, creating immense monop-
olies, that use their franchise for the purpose
of distressing and expressing the people of
the states, they would join in the laudable
purpose OF asking that a prohibitory law be
passed by congress-. No people can have
their rights and property too well guarded BY
constitutional barriers. They should have
the right 70 hold or invest their property as
to them seems best. They should not be
forced BY statute to pay money out OF their
business for the purpose Of establishing some
II else In business.
The $4,000 which the legislature was ask
cd to give Mr.. Powers, to aid him in building
= steamboat on the upper Missouri river,
might be willingly voted for by four-6fths of
the people Of Montana and yet | think it
would be q wrong against the one-Gfth Who
do not wish to give their hard earned money
teven ifonly q small anount) to Mr. Powers.
Would it not be better for the tour-ffths to
to put their hands in their own pockets and
give about 92aa cents apiece to Mr.. Powers,
and thereby raise the $4,000 for the purpose
Of building him a boat?
think there is a vast difference between
voting money out Of the treasury and leaving
some items of property of the tax list.
Those items could be added by any subse.
quent Legislature while a subsidy granted
would be beyond their control.

WATER SUPPLY FOR BUTTE.
PROPOSED Organization OF n Stock Conn
pany.

The need, and almost necessity, of a larger
and purer supply Of water for Butte will be
readily admitted by every citizen of the city.
Last summer the MINER agitated the subject
and advocated the bringing into the city of
the water of Bull Run. 1t was then shown
that the work could be accomplished without
mourning a heavy expense, and an effort was
lnaugnrated to bring the waters of that creek
into the city. The watcr of the creek, al the
owest stage of the year, has been ascertained
to be running at the rate of one hundred
gallons per minute, which would be an am
pie supply for the whole city. This calcula-
ton is based on the very lowest stage of wa
ter last summer 1t is now proposed to en-
large the old company and form a new or
ganization with sufficient capital to perform
the work speedily and secure the laying of
the required iron piping. Canvassing the
city for subscriptions to the stock IS now 90
ing on, and we are Informed the project is
meeting with decided encouragement from all
the prominent property holders of Butte,
many OF whom have subscribed fiom $500 to
question but that the stock will prove a good
investment, and when the plans of the pro.
posed company are fully explained every dol
lars worth Of stock needed for the success
full cOnsummation Of the work will be SUBJ
scribed without delay.
