Us YOUR LIFE WORTH A DOL
Il LARP

Perhaps that seems high price for it, con
sidering how poor your blood is, and how
your whole system is Frustrated, debilitated.
and enfeebled People have been heard to
say, under such circumstances, that they
would not give the toss of copper for the
choice between life and death. But when it
comes to actually drawing near the grave,
man naturally draws back, and says he does
not want to die Life is very precious, and
even to a broken down man it is worth saving.
One dollar will buy bottle of BrOtoh's
Iron Bitters. That one dollar may start you
on the road from misery to recovery. A man
must take very mean view of himself who
is not willing to invest that much in making
one serious effort to rescue himself from
deadly debility and to step into the enjoy
ment of solid health. Brolra's Iron BitterS
vitalizes the blood, tones the nerves, and re-
builds the system. It's work is well known.

Reushaw Opera House.

The engagement Of the Holland
company is drawing to a close, and
if a high order OF merit is deserving
of liberal patronage, then Renshaw
Opera House ought to be crowded at
each of the three remaining perform
ances and Saturday matinee. Mr..
George Holland is really the first
actor-manager visiting Montana
with company that has the minor
parts ably flied. They are as a
whole probably the best company
that has appeared this season at the
Opera House. The performances
would be creditable in the largest
Metropolitan theatres, and from
what is seen of the company here it
is easy to account for their great sue
cess at the Bush street theatre, San
Francisco.
This evening Mr.. Holland will re-
peat bis great impersonation
of Lord Dundreary in "Our Ameri-
can Cousin" Tomorrow evening
the great temperance drama of ''Ten
Nights in a Bar Room" Saturday
matinee, "a Woman's Love, or the
Unequal Match" and Saturday even
ing the great drama Of '"The Long
Strike" This is very strong and
attractive repertoire, and if perform
ances in which every part dts as q
mozaic in a perfect whole, can draw
profitable houses, George Holland
and his clever artists ought to COM
mand financial as we'll as an artis-
tic success.

A Temperance Lecture.

j. d. Nicholson, the postal clerk re-
Gently arrested at Helena, tor tamper-
ing with the mails, was formerly a
journalist of recognized ability. The
Minneapolis Journal says of him
''When not under the influence of
liquor he was a competent journalist,
u congenial companion and honora-
BILE in his dealings. But when the
periodical sprees to which he has
been subject for years, were on him,
he was not trustworthy profession
ally or otherwise. He worked the
railroads for passes and borrowed
from his frienis with generous i'm
partiality. In fact he left the city
when he received the appointment,
leaving behind him unredeemed pa
per, including checks on banks where
he had no money and never had.
Four of these victims met In st.
Paul resort one day. and condoled
with each other, but 40 strong was
the personal hold he had ON his
friends that all agreed not to prose-
cute him. The developments of the
inspectors will be q sore disappoint'
ment to General Gresham, who may
now be expected to waive al consid
erations of friendship and allow ths
law to take its course"

None in the North or South was
more highly esteemed by the minis
tiers of all the branches Of MethOdism
in America than this useful and ven-
erablc divine and eminently Chris
tian mar. He possessed gentle and
Kind fraternal spirit, and being the
corresponding secretary Of the mis-
sionary society Of his church, be was
much beloved and will be greatly
mourned by those ministers of the
frontier wo:k, with whom he was in
deepest sympathy and for whom he
ever had a word ofgood cheer. When
the sad intelligence was broken to
Rev. f. ]. Stanley, pastor Of the M.
E. Church South in Butte, he wept
as a son would weep at the h'ss of a
father; but the sorrow of those who
80 appreciated and loved him is not
without hope, for DR.. McFerrin was
faithful in the great duties Of q long
and useful life and has gone to rich
and glorious reward.
