The Last Day.

To-day is the last opportunity for the tax
PAYERS to settle their dues with Treasurer
WEIGH. Now gentlemen you might as well
give up your playful little raid upon the tiger
for this one day and go down into our pock-
cts, and settle. If YOU can't do without that
box Of cigars, why buy it OIL credit and pay
Y ur cash to the county. Defer for n short
time the purchase of that gorgeous onnet
with the crimson plume, and render unto
Caesar the things that are Caesars. That bon
net is entirely too loud for a private citizen.
By the way, for whom were you going to buy
1t, any way? You ought to be ashamed OF
yourself. Better let Welch have the money.

A decision WAS rendered yesterday after
noon by Judge Wilcox in a Il action OF iorcI-
BILE entry and delainer brought by James A.
Murray against Leigh r. Freeman. The evl-
dsnce showed that the north ten feet OF the

Engaged for the Public School Chill.
dren of Butte.

Tie school trustees have practically CON-
rleted arrangements with Mr.. Caplice for the
use Of seven large rooms and one small one in
his new building at the corner of Park and
Montana streets. The trustees are tn furnish
fires and a ~jsnitor to keep charge of them
while tie rooms are being plastered and fin
is!ed. These accommodations, together witt
enc room already engaged on Montana street
near the Montana hotel and the basement of
the Presbyterian church, which has also been
secured, will be used for The public schools

tees will hold a meeting as soon as MIR. Rein

Butterine.

"The butterine mills" says the Chicago
Tribune. care in full operation ags in. Sew
eral Of the leading packers are said to be
turning out vast quantities Of the compound
known as lard butter. They conform to The
law by branding on the packages, in small
black letters, the word stbutterine." But
what does the retailer do? Half the grocers
III town are said to be selling it for butter.
There are two aristocratic kinds of butterine
now: lne dairy, which sells for about %
cents, and the creamery, which brings % and
20 cents. Genuine butter is six and seven
cents above these prices. The manufacture
of this article is said to be very profitable TO
the millionaires who are engaged in it," 1t
is said that the prejudice VIII ch has existed
in he east against the use ct the article is
fast disappearing. 1t is claimed that experts
cannot distinguish the difference between
we'll made butterine and the product of the
dairy; that it never becomes rancid; is healthy
and answers the purpose of the genuine arti-
Gle. If this be true the COW may be relegas'
ed to the ranges and prepared for the sham
bles SO far as her usefulness for butter max.
ing IL co accrued. But there are those whose
time, tastes and prsjudices ale so strol
that they will rot readily yield to the fac
tory the duties of the meek eyed bovine.

Massacre in Salt Lake.

There was a massacre OF the French in
Salt Lake City OH Thanksgiving Day. We got
the information in a roundabout way trcm a
aistin II. uished local editor Of Eureka, Nevada,
as the Salt Lake papers of course suppress The
distl essiug details We have perfect conf
dence in our authority, since We attribute TO
the same source the complaint recently made
that i distinguished local had suddenly real
lied that his check was failing him, aud had
become so spoiIey that it would not hold wa
Ter. The d. c. consequently felt obliged to
swear otf-wa are not informed from what,
and tie story is doubtless one of the melan-
cloly results.
He says "a high toned reception was civ
ell thursday at Salt Lake by the Mayor anc
other prom lnent gentlemen, to some distin'
guished French visitors. One of the entertain
ers addressed Que Of the distinguished foreign
ers IN the purs French of our American col
leges, and receievd the following satisfactor,
response Il do not understand the Russian
tongue, sir"
Now we believe this to be a deliberate at
tempt to Islander a tutlre governor of Mon
tana. We do not believe that Murray woul'
have been so heartIess as to slaughter tn
French in that fashion. The names OF Mur
raw aud Grammar have been too long and to
intimately associated. But let us in mere
hear the facts.

MR..
GROUND
Adjacent to the Helena Town Site
and Judge Wade's Decision
in Regard to It. .

Mr.. W.. A Chessman, of Helena, called at
the MINER office yesterday afternoon and
gave US some interesting particulars of the re-
cent decision Of Judge Wade in regard to MIR.
Cheeseman's PAGER land, adjacent 10 the Hele-
"a town site.
There is a good deaf of Interest felt both
here and in Helena in regard to this ques-
ton.
Mr.. Cbsssman has been for seven years
the owner Of a large number of
acres OF placer mining property, right nsxtto
the town live of Helena. Some time since
he sold of some thirteen acres, but has con-
tlnued mining the remaining twenty-five and
a half up to the present time. Outside OF its
mining value the property Las been worth
some five OF six hundred dollars per acre, but
Mr.. Ghessman has used it only for its miner
al wealth. Accordingly he returned it to the
assessor at $3.50 per acre. In view of the
value Of tins property Tor speculative pur-
poses the County Commissioners raised the
valuation to 5000 per acre. Mr.. Chessman
hen brought suit against the Commissioner
of Lewis and Clarke county, praying for a re-
duction of his assessment, and this is the suit
just decided by Judge Wade, i'll MIR. Chess.
mans tavQr, Before The suit was brought
the Commissioners had taken the position
that ihe valuation was discretionary will
them and that they would yield to nothing
but the decision Of the District Court. Judge
Wade's opinion was that the increased assess
inent was Illegal, Tor the reason that Mr.
Chessman was still mining his property
which must accordingly be valued solely as 8
mining claim, aid not as if used for buildin!
purposes.
This decision, in view of the recent large
sales of lots adjacen, TO the depot and tow
sites, is of special interest at this time to tn
citizens OF Butte.

THE SMALL pOX.
Death of MIR. Charles Wunderlich
of Divide.

From Mr.. Fred. Buzzard, of the Grand
Genital hotel, we learn tina, there is no doub,
OF the Truth of the report circulated y-ster-
day that Mr.. Charles Wunderlich died Tues-
day night Of the small pox. Mr.. Buzzard
was at Silver Bow Junction Tuesday night
when a telegram was received announcing
the deaIh. Mr.. Wunderlich's son, at the
Junction, Then telegraphed to Divide, and re-
ceived a dispatch confirming the sad news.
MIR. Wunderlich WAS but little short of fifty
year. Of age, a man of strong individuality
ard much sell. reliance. His influence OIL
Hose around has always been marked, his
friendships as strong as his enmities. The
station at Divide has been long associated
with his nam", and his hotel has always been
the centre around which everything else in
the neighborhood revolved, Mr.. Wunderlleh
having teen postmaster there tor some tims.
Though there were mo Lew cases in Butte
last night, according to the most authentic
reports from the health officer and city mar
lLal, there is good reason 10 believe that there
are several new cases at Silver Bow. -Four
persons are reported as Gown with the small
pox there, although, as there is no physician
there, it is impossible to say how much foun-
dation there is for the report. City Marshal
Nenable leaves this morning for Silver Bow
to investigate these alleged cases, and to es-
tabiish a mols ~et1ecsuSl quarantine at that
point.
The three cases in Butte are in favorable
condition, and, we are informed by DR.,
HOLMES, Will probably recover. They are all
three at Mrs. brakes hous4, on East PsrL
street. No other cases are knswu TO exis
any where in Butte. Marshal Venable made
a thorough examination yesterday Afternoon
OF China town ana all the lower part of the
city.
There is a good deal of unnecessary alarm
felt here about the small pox. While there
is every reason why the city authorize!
should at once take more e~fectual action il
tina matter, aud why every ono should tax
frequent baths, and keep tue system i'll thor
ough order, there is no OCCASION for anythin!
approaching panic.

THE STAR
Renewed Evidence of it's Prosperity

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Adam Faraday
was delighted with renewed evidence of The
value and stability OF tile rich vein of ore re-
Gently uncovered in the Morning Star mine.
1t will be remembered that the MINER gave
an account week before last OF a rich strike
made in this mine. MIR. Faraday first struck
this rich ore body In the winze between the
one and two hundred-foot levels. Yesterday
afternoon OH the west drift Of the 225-foot
level another very rick body of ore, showing
wire and native silver in profusicn, was laid
bare. The "dear little winze," as they say
on the Comstock, has proven to be a safe In
d;cstion of the mineral wealth yet lying dor.
mant in the bowels of the Morning Star.
