B.. PETIT.

Furniture and Upholstery. B'oaduoy near Mon
tana street.
Mr.. Petit has lived in Butte since it first
came into prominence as a mining camp.
Two years ago he opened, at his present busi-
ness location, a furniture and upholstery es-
tablishment. Since the opening he has done
a thriving and increasing business. 1t is his
intention to shortly move his wares into the
elegant building on Main street which was
recently vacated by Messrs. L. Marks & Son.
This building was completed last summer
and is the property of Mr.. Petit. Here he
will have more room in which to transact his
business and will be able to give better dis
play to many of his elegant articles of furni-
ture. He has now on hand a varied assort-
ment and complete stock of all articles to be
met with in a first-cass furniture and uphol-
stery establishment, including parlor suits,
chamber and bed room sets, with marble or
walnut tops and all kinds of kitchen, cham
Der and parlor furniture. Mr.. Petit has also
on hand a large stock of coffin trimmings and
collins. The latter will be trimmed to order
on short notice. He also sells furniture on
installments and buys and sells second hand
furniture. Give him a call and examine his
extensive stock and prices.

able repose, or the transient guest can obtain
a square meal at merely nominal figures.
The Bank Exchange is the institution
wherein the games of chance, luck and science
are performed. Here the "night herd" con-
gregates and the "tiger" switches his tail
and crashes his teeth. Whisky, whist and
lessons from Bob Schenck on "draft poker"
come IL in regular oder. Messrs. Williams
& Wright behind the bar, administer cock
tails, sours, and liquid refreshments that
produce the desired effect every time.
The old butcher shop on the south side OF
Main street, is kept tidy and clean, with the
choicest cuts on the blocks at all times. Mr..
Dave E. Metlin, the senior member of our
board of county fathers, own and runs the
shop and has an expert cutter behind the
blocks to serve out meats, the like of which
only Montana can produce.
The Bannack brewery is operated by Mr..
James Hardy on the principle that ga nimble
s~ixpence is better than a slow ~shilling.'
Beer for a bit a mug full brings the Teutonic
beverage within the reach of the thirsty null
titude and sold JIM glories in being useful,
in his way, to all mankind. And, periodically,
at the brewery, a fatted calf is killed to enliv-
en- things.
John Thomas Miller, is our town cordwain-
er. John Thomas is sway up" at his trade.
He can build a boot in a hobby, substantial
shape and treat his listener to an exhaustive
Bismarkic dissertation on European political
problems. Mr.. Ms shop is centrally located
and the " boss" prepared to do old or new
work.
Charley Bowman's fruit and variety store
is we'll filled with nuts and notions in unlim-
tied quantities. Daily arrivals, per express,
furnish the people with fresh fruits and dam
ties. Quartz kings and common deck
hands buy of him at the same prices, without
distinction as to previous condition.
Surrounded by many mining camps-cir-
cled by hundreds of rich quartz ~mines-Ban-
mack has a hopeful future ahead. As the
mines are opened the town will expand and
in a few years hence, Bannack will be a con-
| s~picuous spot on the map of Montana.

students and readers who believe in its
verbal inspiration, and that every article

spred in such q sense that to change 9
word or letter will be sacrilsge. But thir
feeling is not shared to any great extent b,
learned or thoughtful persons. They know
that the Bible has undergone many change
and interpretations from the original tsxt
that during the centuries before printing
was invented, and when il was only pre-
served by copying, numerous errors crep

From off the primrose head:

The coming of the spring.
Sing on, sweet bird for you have faith
To trust all darkness is not deathi
The spring has signs to show her nigh,
And bid the world prepare;
Has Joy no herald, OF must

No leaf shows from It's sheath uncurled;
No birds their raptures pour.

TIE TEXTBOOK LEGISLATION.

The defeat of the effort, on the part of
a few members of the House, to nullify
the textbook law by breaking up the
system of uniformity, evidently en-
gendered some bad blood. When the
Senate bill, which had been carefully
prepared and introduced by the COM
mittee on education, to simplify the oper-
alton Of the law by relieving the district
clerks and county auditors from handling
the books, reached its consideration in the
House Thursday evening it was i'm
mediately set upon by Messrs. Collins,
Norrish, Cults and Wilson with vigor-
Gus effort to make various amendments,
and when it was evident that much of the
valuable time OF the closing hours of the
session would be consumed a general
howl was raised and its consideration was
refused.
1t is to be regretted that the chair re-
fused to entertain the repeated request
for the ayes and nays SO that the people
might know what other members refused
to respond to their wishes, and the re-
quest of the governor, in his message, to
modify the operation Of the law as pro-
vided for in this bill. As 1t now stands
the refusal rests with the gentlemen who
made the assault upon the bill.
The law stands intact and will operate
for the next two years in the same manner
as in the past.

ROCHESTER, March S-Mr. Cornelius

of the former will not realize the expecta-
tions of its author and supporters.
More than half dozen Investigations
have been undertaken during the session.
None of them have warranted either the
expense incurred OF the trouble taken.
The public is no wiser as to the cause OF
the St. Peter fire than before the inquiry;
the charges against the State prison ring
have not been substantiated; there is no
new light upon the subject of railroad
determinations; opinion is divided as
much as ever as to whether the railroads
are illegally evading taxation on their
lands or not. The committee to inquire
into the charges of sectarianism in the
st. Cloud normal school is empowered to
sit during the recess, but no startling re-
suits are expected from its deliberations.
The destruction of the capitol created
an emergency that was promptly met
The appropriation asked for by the gov
ernor was made without cavil, and before
the snow flies next winter the State house
will be in better condition than it was
previous to the fire, provided with fire
walls and ample means of egress.
One evidence of good times is shown
by the large number of bills passed au-
thorizing the issue of bonds by towns,
cities and counties for the purpose of un-
dertaking local improvements. The to-
tai amount of these bonds authorized will
largely exceed two million dollars. When
people are willing to assume such liabili-
ties 1t is apparent that they are prosper
Gus financially and have confidence in
their future. 1t is to be hoped that these
anticipations will be fully realized, and
that in assuming these debts they have
not exceeded their ability to pay.
All railroad companies organized under
the laws of other States and doing busi
ness in Minnesota have been invested
with all the powers and privileges of do
mestic corporations, and are authorized
to purchase and consolidate with other
companies.
These are among the seven hundred or
more matters that have been favorably
acted upon by the twenty-second Mime
sofa legislature. AS to the wisdom of
what has been done the people must
Judge. Time will show wherein the best
interests of the State have been served
and wherein injury has been done.

HOUSE.

The closing hours Of the House were
anything but creditable to the members
of that body. Early In the session on
Thursday evening Mr.. Comstock, chair
man of the committee on Congressional
apportionment, attempted to procure
consideration of the bill reported by him
arranging the State in five Congressional
districts There was great accumula-
ton of Senate bills on their third read
ing, and the friends of these measures,
knowing that much time would be con-
sumed in discussion of the bill referred to,
opposed Mr.. Comstock, and all bills on
that subject were laid aside, with the
understanding that they were to be taken
up after the consideration of Senate files
had been completed. About 11:30, how
ever. another attempt to take the matter
up was made, consuming over an hour
of precious time Meanwhile the House
was in the greatest disorder. The speak
er made every effort the maintain some
thing like order, but all to no purpose,
and business had to be suspend
ed frequently to allow the confusion to
subside. Progress was consequently slow
There was scarcely a moment when from
two to a score of members were not on
their feet demanding attention from the
speaker and all speaking at the same
time. 1t may be readily imagined that
the greatest difficulty was experienced in
keeping track of the proceedings. The
roll had to be called three times on some
bills, and on nearly all the clerk was
obliged to call the absenteess before a
quorum of members could be induced to
respond =
A third effort to procure consideration
of the apportionment bills was more sue
cessful The roll call was demanded,
however, on the passage of every motion
connected with them, and during the
progress of the discussion and call pan
demonium seemed to have broken loose.
Men who are usually staid and collected
indulged in the most extraordinary an
tics, shouting at the top of their voices
diiu duu
at the speaker and their fellow
members. Finally Mr.. Searles' bill
was properly placed before the
House, but an unfortunate clerical error
proved fatal to Its passage, as no amend
ment could be made except by unanimous
consent, and there were scores of object
ors. When the vote was finally lost the
same programme was repeated as to the
Senate bill. This was lost, reconsidered
and lost second time amid the direst
confusion. The country members as a
rule were determined that Ramsey and
Hennepin counties should be kept in the
same Congressional district, while the
Representatives from these localities were
determined to get apart. In the course
of the wrangle Mr.. Sabin demanded that
no snap judgment be taken, but that the
speaker rule fairly. The speaker stated
that everybody should be treated fairly
while he occupied the chair Mr.. Sahin.
under great excitement, declared that
he would need some other assurance
than the speakers On that subject.
Some members were flushed with anger,

TIE Senate placed itself in An unenvia-
bic light by its rejection of the nomina-
ton of State Prison Inspector L. E. Reed
at late hour Thursday night The gov
ernor declined to send in another name,
and under the statutes Mr.. Reed holds
over until his successor is qualified. Mr..
Reeds offense appears to have been in
insisting on the State securing the high
est possible price for the prison labor.
He can afford to stand on that record,
and the constituents of the Senators will,
in due time, explain whether they can
afford to stand on their record.
