The Capital tells story Of a jamestown
lady who mistook mOonshne for sunshine,
got up and prepared breakfast anu ti:ell
called her spouse to his regular morning
feast The moonshine worked with the

And yet the product OF the fes'lVe
moonshiner produces greater havoc among
men than among women.
Judge Noah Davis, of New YORK, sat

Deer Lodge recently for the murder OF

one night last week at a ball on the Jockc,
and drawing his knife cut three men pc

| Northeast.
We devoted three weeks of hard work to
the task of conyicting this unprecedented
rascal only to have him escape through
perhaps not unreasonable judicial con-
| struction of bad law. The Flatheads
were very anxious to secure his acqulttal;
and in the light of this subsequent deyel-

When Oscar Wilde left this country we

press, commenting on his return to Eng
land. For Heavens sake, ha' done !!
Oscar was sharp Euglishman who, with
malice prepense played the buffoon in this
country for the laudahle purpose of ac-
quiring kopecks. He has acquired a good
many Of those useful articles and returned
to his native heath. Now let him become
part and parcel of the mighty and forgot

capital people is plenty of births and a
low death-rate.

the hamlet has some mail facilities, though
we cannot find the settlement upon pos
tai map.
