A Base Ball BackeP.

The base ball game played in Helena
on the Fourth between Helena and Boze-
man mines for championship of Montana
resulted in acomplete and decided victory
for the Bozeman club, who played under
many disadvantages, the ground being a
strange one and decisions Of umpire
being favorable to the Helena nine. Not
withstanding these difficulties our boys
marched on to victory and the plaudits
of a large audience. The Helena nine
played their best men and in the strong
est possible form, and resorted to many
small tricks unusual to gentlemanly ball
tossers, to all their tricks and kicking the
Bozeman nine calmly submitted, prefer
ring to defeat them at their own game,
which they successfully accomplished.
It was distinctly understood between
Capt. Besserer and Capt. Ticknor that
their respective mines should appear at
the ground and have the game called at
81. M, sharp, but the Helena nine failed
to appear until 4 p. m, as they were
awaiting an outside player to arrive,
which was in direct violation Of the rules
governing the national game. The Hell
ena nine lay their defeat to their catcher
getting hurt, while every one knows that
the catcher's substituted were far super
Tor to the one who was injured. The
only true cause of their defeat was that
they cannot play base ball with the
Bozeman boys. For the Helena nine
Ticknor, Hellman, Radbourne, Hill,
Davis, Ames and O'Connor played well,
especially in fielding, but were utterly
unable to hit Nevitt's phenomenal pitch
ing, who pitched remarkable game,
ably backed up by Besserer's catching
who alone retired sixteen men on three
strikes and the battery. hewitt and
Besserer, as the score shows, put out
twenty-one men out ola possible twenty
seven, and the Helena "sluggers" made
only three safe hits. Worlcy, Drummond
and Camille welded the bat effectively
against the Helena pitchers, as did al
most all of the Bozeman nine, who plain
ly surpassed the Helena nine in batting,
making a total of thirteen clean hits.
Woodson distinguished himself in the
eighth innings by beautiful running
catch, as did also Robinson at first and
Hayford at second. Costly errors by the
Bozeman infeld yielded the Helena's six
runs which were fairly presented them,
owing to over confidence of our boys. To
say the least it was grand and glorious
victory, and the Bozeman nine will at all
times be ready to defend the will-earned
title of champions of Montana against all
corners. A BACKER.

To us the most interesting and notable


To us the most interesting and notable
event, as portion of the grand pro-
gramme gotten up by the people of Hell
ena on July 4th was the moving away,
amid the booming Of cannon, the shrill
shrek Of locomotives and the huzzahing
from thousand of Threats, Of the immense
bullion tsainftomi the Gregory mine near
Helena. The train consisted Of thirty-six
box cars and contained over one million
pounds of silver product. Each car was
labelled with large colored cards upon
which was inscribed, IN. p. R. R., 1,OOO,-
QUO pounds Gregory bullion from Helena,
Montana" It was sight never to be
forgotten and one which should have
amply repaid any one Of the numerous
visitors to our enterprising capital city.
1t may be safe to say, that the like will
never be seen again as with rapid and
increasing facilities for the shipment Of
ores and bullion, it will never become
necessary. There were many of the feat
ures of the celebration, which called
forth our admiration for the ingenuity,
energy and taste displayed, but as above
said, this was to US the most notable and
attractive. Would that the towns Of
Montana had more Of the progressive,
public spirit and enterprise which the
people Of Helena exhibit, than they have.

Pension Agent JObbery.

A movement is under Roadway to
wipe out the requirements embraced in
the homestead laws which make it neces-
sary for soldiers to live on the claims in
order to get title. The substance of the
law is that soldier may deduct from the
required five years residence, the length
of time he was in the service. The de-
mand that every veteran soldier shall be
given 100 acres outright, without being
obliged to put his foot on his land or to
live on it, and become settler of the
public domain, is the climax Of a good
deal Of extravagant importantly that has
been encouraged largely by the busy and
petty go-betweens of the pension bust
ness. It is not matter Of surprise that
this should be done. 1t Is only part of a
mass of fraud connected with the pension
policy of thegovernment, and one against
which there seems to be no sufficient de-
tense. 1t should by no means be under
stood that every man who has fought for
his country joins in such demands. The
real heroes of the war are generally too
proud-spirited to be putt the attitude of
beggars by shystering pension agents.
The proposition to give every veteran of
the rebellion quarter section of land
without restriction has upon its face the
finger marks of the pension shark, as
have so many other similar demands for
substantial gratitude from government.
Its effect, if it becomes law, would be to
expose the public domain to seizure by
spectators to an extent rarely witnessed
in the history of the American land sys-
tenn. In individual instances, no doubt,
a benefcent result would occur. Persons
who have not the means sufficient to
travel to the region where they desire
land could select it from distance and
wait until they had accumulated savings
sufficient to buy pioneers outfit and
transport themselves and their families
to their chosen home. But in the great
majority of cases, the result would be
grand harvest for spectators. In the
first place, the claimant would need to
get some one on the ground to select his
land, and this would put him at once in
the hands of designing class of real
estate operators. The business form of
constructing claim to 100 acres of land
in the public domain would probably be
by issuing soldiers scrip. The country
would be plastered with it, and in
short time it would be picked up at big
discounts by spectators, to the detri-
ment of that class of settlement on the
public lands most to be desired. In the
end the soldier would derive small bene-
fit from such mock reward, and the
new States and Territories, in which the
public lands lie, would be almost perma-
nently injured: The dictates of common
sense and good citizenship are against
such q false, scatter-brained attempt at
gratitude and it will be an extraordin-
arily silly congress that will listen seri-
ously to the matter.

A REVIEW.

a REVIEW.
Twelve years ago when I came to Boze-
man I brought all my worldly wealth
Qess than two thousand l.ollars) with me
and cast my lot with the pioneers of civ
ilation hereabouts, with an expectation
to make home and live among the adj
vance guard. Since that time my bust
ness has increased from five thousand
dollars the first year to twenty thousand
dollars the last year, and / am proud
of the record l have made, and feel
just pride in my customers, who have
enabled me to achieve such success. A
year ago, the march of improvement
caused me to vacate the log house corner
of Main and Bozeman streets, at which
time l commenced the building of a
more spacious and comfortable building
to accommodate my increasing trade. At
ter two removals and one fire, am at
last settled in my new quarters,
OSBORN'S NEW BRICK BLOCK,
where hope to see all my old friends
and customers, and the public generally,
whether they wish to purchase or not. I
hope they will come in aud take look
around and compare the old with the
new.
You will find larger and better select
ed stock of goods in the drug line than
was ever before brought to Bozeman
consisting in part of
Drugs proper, patent medicines, toilet
and fancy goods, pcrfumeries, Sponges,
fine pocket cutlery, gold and steel pens,
pencils, stationery. brushes-all kinds,
toilet soaps, paints and oils, window
glass, lamps and chandeliers, lamp trim
mings, trusses, supporters, braces, cam
dies, pure liquors for medical use, and
the best goods generally that can be
bought for money.

A Set Not to be Broken.

A man in Texas was arrested for run
uing away with three sisters-triplets-
and was placed on trial.
"You are a nice fellow" said the judge
as preliminary.
II know it, jedge; leastwise that's what
the gals said"
"What do you mean by running away
with three women, and rulning the peace
of happy family?"
II ment to marry 'em, jedge."
"Insatiate monster! would not one
suffice?"
"Put it a leetle palmer; jedge."
"Wouldn't one have been enough?"
at mought look that ere way to you,
jedge, and did to me at fust, but you see
thnre was three of 'em, kind Of one set,
like"
"That doesn't count in law"
"Mebbe it don't, jedge, but them gals
and me talked it all over, and they was
mighty attached to each other and said
it was a pity for me to take one of them
triplets and break the set, go we jest con-
Guided to hang together, and I'll be
burned if we wasn't hangin' right out for
Utah, and no mistake"
"The law does not recognize any such
excuses"
Gall right old man, 60 ahead. There
was three agin one, and if l have to suf-
fer kin stand it; but want to say right
here, jedge, if any fool cuss breaks that
set while I'm sufferin' I'll break his
burned skull as shore as I am dyin'
sinner, and you can bet a rawhide on it."
The case was continued.
We learn that Wakefield and Hoffman
have signed the contract between the
National Park Improvement Company
