new relations which Helena and
Montana now sustained with the
east were discussed from a practical
point of view and eliclted the hearty
endorsement of the assembled multi.
tude.
After the conclusion of the Grafton
the silver cornet band rendered the
Star Spanglsd Banner in a superior
manner. A song America" was
sung by the Apollo club, followed by
a benedictioR by the chaplain when

unpurchasable accommodations in
the shape Of luxurious beds.
Many citizens r bewailing the
loss.of untold thousands of dollars in
not purchasing lots for 500 that can
now be sold for $1,000. Guy Piatt
is one of the heaviest losers. Guy
didn't take the tide at its flood and
hence has lost a fortune.
J. D.. McCutcheon, Secretary, ar
rived last night from the east with
his bride. Curses loud and deep are
hurled upon the head of the "acting

some one will have to dance to it in
the very near future.

the day was a matched game of base
ball between the Helena and Boze-

scooped. The score stood Bozeman,
IL; Helena, 10. Robinson, the CATCH

in the early part Of the game,and his
place had to be filled by..a novice,
which fact, the Helena boys say, &C.
counts for their defeat.

singular accident had not occurred.
