ESCAPE OF PRISONERS.
Over the Fence to the Mountains.

Last Monday q newly appointed guard at
the Penitentiary named Smith was working
five prisoners on log building near the cor
them, one named Frank Adams and another
named Childs, both sentenced for horse steal
ing, descended the ladder ostensibly to get
some short boards. Adams passed to the
rear of Smith and, snatching his revolver, Or
dered him to throw up his hands, at the same
time ordering Childs and another man named
Yandell to skip. Yandell did SO, but toward
the Penitentiary, while the two others, Will
liams and Danforth, remained on the build
ing Adams and Childs then lit out past the
school house and up the creek, while the
guard ran and gave the alarm. In short
time after John c. Burch captured Childs in
the brush on Fl. s. Reeds farm and he was
marched back to prison. He Is seven year
man and has served two years. Burch was
also close on Adams and tried to shoot him,
but the pistol missed fire and Adams got into
the brush. The force in pursuit was soon af-
ter augmented to twelve or fifteen persons
who "beat the bush" for three miles
without obtaining another sight Of him, al
though one man claimed he saw him and had
exchanged shots. That night several patrols
were put out but the prey escaped.
Frank Adams, who was only one year
man with nearly half his time served, is still
at large. He is described as follows and the
Warden offers 500 reward for the man or in
formation that will lead to his capture:

Boston Comic Opera Company.


The above company, which, after playing
here has appeared in Butte and Helena, has
received the best mention accorded to any
company that has visited Montana. The
singing throughout Is really excellent, and
Miss Kings voice Is superb. The company
will appear here Oh this friday evening
for the last time before departing for the
West. The Operatta will be .The Loan
Of . Lover We have no space for an ex-
tended notice, and have only to say that this
company, in our opinion, gives much the
best music ever heard In Montana, and all
who love music should hear them. There
will BE- good audience wheneverth they favor
Deer Lodge with IN entertainment.

THE JUBILEE SINGERS.
A Light Company and Poor Show.

What liz known on the show bills as "The
Original Tennessee Jubilee AMI Plantation
Singers" appeared at O'Neilps theatre on last
Monday evening to large audience, which
was thoroughly disappointed. There were
only five voices In any concerted piece and
none of them were good except that of the
bass, Mr.. Coleman. The performance lasted
only a little over an hour, but that was ample
to demonstrate the incapacity of the COM
pany. True, some OF the choruses and jubi-
lee songs were enjoyable, but that was due
more to the songs than the singing. Mon
tana audiences and newspapers although
critical, have been very charitable to travel
ing companies, giving them credit for what
they did well or fairly, and passing BY that
which was done poorly. We recognized the
difficulty of reaching Montana, the arduous
travel, the poor stage accommodations, the
| limited resources and vicissitudes of the bust
ness, and generally have been disposed to
enjoy as best we might that which was en-
| joyable and to forgive failure. But Montana
towns are filing up; q tour through the coun-
try win pay, and especially ut this season the
travelling Is almost as pleasant on the roads

pect better entertainments, 70 criticise poor
| ones, and to growl when there Is palmed of
on us one horse show for six horse price.
| We are satisfied that the company that was
here never made reputation anywhere az
Jubilee Singers, because they can't sing. And
we were not expecting opera music or cul..-
waited voices. They did nor sing well this
songs they advertised, In the manner they
proposed. We learn since they were here,
that some OF the best members left the COM
pany ut Butte. This, lift were unavoidable,
| TO some extent excuses the management In
this particular instance, but the time has
come for Montana to insist on good shows for
the big money charged for seats and for the
press 70 kick when the entertainments are
poor. Let u encourage The good entertain
ments and discourage the poor ones md thei
character win improve.

That German tradesmen are rapidly rising
to the higher flights OF the advertising art is
showu by the following ingenious paragraphs
from the advertisements in the Berliner Tage

German Knightly landowner wishes to find a
female llte-companion who resembles extern
ally as we'll as in character, the heroine OF
Sacher- Masoch's novel, Frau Won Sedan,
published in the April number of Auf de1

An enterprlslng Niennese tailor has hit upon
this: "How to become a hOuseowner: Quite
lately gentleman made his fortune on the
Wieden IN an astonishing and absolutely or
iglnal manner. AT my shop he purchased a
morning suit for ten forms, a dress suit for
nineteen florins, a pair of summer trousers for
three florins, and a complete costume for his
little son at the low figure of three tlorins and
half. Having reflected that lad he bought
these articles in any other shop he would
have been obliged to pay at least twenty
florins more tor them, he resolved to invest
his savings to that amount in ticket for the
Crown Prince Rudolph Lottery. At the next
drawing his number came out the first prize
of twenty thousand forms, which sum this

LANGUAGE OF INsEcTs-An English scien
list has made the surprising discovery that
flies have a language OF their own, inaldibie
to unalded human ears, though, no doubt, as
tiuctly audible to the ears OF insects This is
not the buzzing tone common to all hylng
insects, which is produced by the rapid motion
of their Wings, and is but mere incidental
effect, as meaningless as the sounds OF our
foot steps while We are walking and convers-
ing with a friend; but it consists OF ether
tones made voluntarily no doubt Tor the pur-
pase of limited communication with one
another. This discovery was made by means
of the newly invented mlcrophone' while
rmaCnifying the tramp of fly, walking on the
table. Till II sounded as loud as that OF morse
walking over a wooden bridge. by close o6'
scryation during these experiments, SOUNDS
were heard different from those OF It's FOOTBALLS
and wings, which proved to DE trampetihs
calls. issuing from its proboscis, resembling
somewhat the distant whinnying OF horse
Such are some of the results of that marvellous
instrument which acts for the ear OF man as
