the earth taken from excavations and used
for grading the stFests are not like those of
"Artby the best" The City MerShal is also
ex-ofiicio Street Commissioner, and although
the duties are numerous, your correspondent
predicts that Marshal Smith will fail in the
performance of as few as any man who could
have the position.
| THE SCHOOL HOUSE.
1t is the present intention of the Trustees
TO next week np"upv tho school building.
Your readers tpa aware that in November
last tie foundation of the addition being
built crrmhl'd, the walls cracked and the
building W., declared unsafe. After n yexa-
tiouS d lay of several weeks, rom, wer.
secured in the Caplice building aid the base
ment Of the Presbyterian Church, and the
school term commenced. This spring work
was Resumed on the school building. The
| structure was raised, the old foundation
was taken out and replaced by new and
| substantial one aud the walls secured with
iron braces. Experienced workmen do not
hesitate to pronounce the building secure,
and in my own limited experience | have
seen buildings raised and an additional story
put underneath, and no thought of its inse-
curity was ever entertained. But there is a
feeling here, among few, that the building
| Is not safe, and some parents will undoubted-
| ly refuse to send their children to school in
it. They are right If in their opinion the
| lives of the little ones wopid be endangered
| they do right in keeping them away. But
| no newspaper can satisfactorily settle the
question of its safety or insecurity, and it
would to wise if the one here that condemn
it should advocate instead a commission to |
examine 1t, and get an expert opinion as to |
its condition.
BUTTE, June IL. - Grateful, refreshing |
showers have visited our city for several DAYS |
past, cooling the atmosphere, laying the |
dust and in every way adding to the comfort |
OF the populace. Nothing could have been |
more sudden than the transition from the |
chilly spring weather to the hot and sitting |
atmosphere of the first days of June No |
better comparison can be made than trip |
over the c. p, where one can re,lre to his |
his berth in . sleeper amid the SHOWS and |
Ice Of the Sierras, and awake to find himself |
gazing upon California's verdure- covered |
valleys, decked with blossoms, and blessed |
with eternal summer. The situation of this |
city Is such that splendid view of grand |
mountain ranges can be had, and Summit |
Valley lying ut our feet can be seen for seye-
raj miles. A lady was recently lamenting
the fact that no GLORIOUS sunsets can be |
SEEN" This does not Cypress your correspon-
dent, for life Is made up of sunsets and can
be seen on the cloudiest days.
ANOTHER SUICIDE.
For several years-thirteen or more-S-
mon Hollwarth has been engaged in mining
in Oro Elmo Gulch, some three miles west of
Butte. He resided by himself, and was of a
| taciturn disposition. His eccentricities were
Of a harmless character apd he was gener-
ally regarded rs rational But tin. develop
ments of last week would indicate that his
mind has been unsettled for some time He
was discovered in his cabin, dead, the top of
his head having been blown off. He employ
ed somewhat original manner to end his
life. Procuring string he tied one end to
his toe and attached the other to the triggers
on double barreled shot gun. Mr.. II ollwarth
was a native of Germany, aged about A.
years and had no relatives in this vicinity.
He has son in one of the Eastern States.
CHARLEY RossED
A damsel from the Flowery Kingdom was
| stolen last week. Two white men and
Chinaman are accused of the theft, but the
stolen one has not been heard of and there is
no clue to the whereabouts of her abductors.
Her liege lord, All Kane, is sort of Chinese |
Brigham Young. He is still blessed with |
five wives, and from his indifference in this
particular case, probably wishes the expert |
ment repeated a few more times.
PICNIC PARTIES.
Although Boosting Of several churches and |
other places where religious services are |
held, there are number of non-prof essors of |
any creed save those savoring of pleasures,
real or fancied. These devotees of social |
enjoyment on the Sabbath day repair in large
numbers to Poplar Grove, short distance
east of the city, where dancing, swinging,
chatting, luncheon in the shade, and love-
making are INDUCED in.
OTHER NEWS.
In the absence of regularly organized dra-
matte companies to which we have been &C
customed, the formation Of company here
is spoken of. Miss Lillian Edgington, an
actress of considerable ability, will probably
appear in tho leading parts, and there are
several others here of both sexes possessed
Of enviable dramatic attachments.
A washout on the u. & N. near Browns
bridge, has caused delay Of two or three
hours each night. The damage to the road
bed necessitated transfer of passengers,
mail and express matter at that point, and
the running Of an extra train here. No
freights have been received here for several
