The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1883-11-07

The thanks of the people OF Gallatin
county, are due Judge Wade for coming
here on his own motion, to rid us of SO
many persons confined in the county
iail. We hope before another term that
the LIST Judicial District will be supplied.
A look around town in the markets
and at the stores will convince any one
that We can live here as well as any,
where. Our butchers stalls are filled
with fat beef. pork, mutton, wild game
and all sorts of vegetables. Fruits OF all
kinds is showingly displayed. Fresh
trout from our streams, Mackinaw trout
and white fish from the east; oysters and
other delicacies are to be found on every
corner. The days Of ''meat straight"
have gone by.
As we expect to be very busy until we
secure more help, we would be obliged to
parties who desire the Daily CHRONICLE
left at their houses or place of business
to send or leave their names at the Office.
We deliver it to any part of the city for
35 cents per week, payable to carrier
every week. This sum is so small that
you will scarcely feel it and you will be
encouraging an enterprise of value to
your city. We do not care how many
speak at once.
Controller Knox is inclined to favor
the proposal to remove the tax on the
national bank circulation as means of
preventing the injurious contraction
that is threatened by the rapid calling
in of the per cent bonds. He thinks
that If this were done the banks might
be able to substitute or 4! Ger cents in
order to retain their circulation. Whet-
her or not it would have this effect, the
tax ought to be removed, now that it is
no longer needed to swell the revenue
of the government. The plan. too, of al
lowing the banks circulation to the ex-
tent of 50 per cent. of the market value
is not a bad one.
A funny episode took place yesterday
afternoon on Main street. 4 swarthy
ranchman had been smiling with his
friends till he was completely happy.
Stepping to the saloon door he spied his
two daughters riding by in his spring
wagon, escorted by young man. The
father rushed to the sidewalk, waving his
hand frantically and shouting, "John!
Johh!. John.!!" The girl sitting next
to the driver nudged him and John
didn't hear any one call him. A look Of
blank astonishment fell over the old
mans face as he thought aloud in this
wise: "Well! I'm id. Don't that
beat III? The little devil. No. he
amt either. He's gentleman, and he's
payin attention to my daughter too.
Well. too proud to take the old man in.
Lord! what monkey shines. I'm just
beat. Wanted to ride home with 'em
too. There, he's turned round. No
yes-no. Well, by thunder. Guess I'll
stay in town if they don't want me. 1t
just beats ALL" And he politely turned
to by-stander with; stranger won't
you 60 in and have suthin'. The young
folks are too many for the old man.
