morning.

last night at which much business was
| transacted.
There will probably be no service at
either of the churches tomorrow, all min
listers being out of the city.
This has been another remarkably quiet
day and even John Hunsberger didn't
know enough news to keep him busy talk
ing.
Sheriff w. D. Cameron, of Meagher
county, came in from White Sulphur
Springs last night and is registered at the

A number of T. C. Power & Bro. s
teams arrived this morning from the Big
Casino Mills, Reeds Fort, each loaded with
lumber to be used in the construction of

this afternoon to look after property on
the Marias. His deputy, Ed. Flint, went
out on the Shonkin, Arrow creek and ad-
joining territory this morning.
Quite number of freighters came in to-
day, and their presence had a tendency to
liven up business. The festive freighter
is power in the land, and he can scarcely
make his visits too numerous.

Geneva Nursery, of Rochester, N. Y, is
in the city, quartered at the Overland.
He is determined to supply everyone
around Benton with trees from his cele-
brated nursery.
A number of business men who will be

are not chary with their talk, either.

department of Dakota, came in on the
Helena coach this afternoon. He arrived

Whiz, or some other euphoniously titled
Celestial, left by the Helena stage this
morning to make his home hereafter
among his Mongolian brethren at the
| Capital.
Mr.. Morgan, the military operator, has re-
| turned from his trip in search of the break
| in the line between here and Helena, with
out, however, having found what he
sought. He thinks the men sent out from
| Fort Shaw must have found the break ere
this.
The steamer Black Hills reached the
mouth of the Marias this afternoon and all

brought to this city by wagons. The ar
rival of the steamer has been anxiously
awaited by many merchants, who have
goods on board.
Mr.. Morgan, the operator on the mill
tary line at this place, left this NJ orning to
look up the break on the line between here
and Helena. 1t is expected the line will
be in working order by the first of the
week, as the break is not considered very
serious.

husband, DR.. Chas. Won Holzschuher, and

we know, perfected an organization.l
