An Old Timer.

The Walla Walla M%ate>nsdn has the
following to say of our popular county
Treasurer: II will please the many
friends of Dan Welch, formerly a
popular old timer of Walla Walla, to
know that he is a very prosperous
and trusted citizen of Butte. He is
now holding, for the second time,
the responsible position of Treasurer
of Silver Bow county, of which Butte
is the county seat. He was elected
on the Democratic ticket the first
time by 500 majority, and by 800 the
Second time. The Importance of the
Office may be imagined when the
bonds are placed at $oO,OOO.

Rough on Todd.

We don't usually print anonymous
epistles, but are constrained to break
the rule for once, and give place to
this from IA Physician of Deer
Lodge" who writes: "Seeing in
your paper of the 22nd an article say
ing you learn from MI. q. Todd Of
the fatal accident near Warm
Springs, ETC., I will cay as a physi-
clan that he is not responsible for
anything he said. He if now in Gus
tody." That's a mean way to cuss
Teddy, and it's lucky for the Deer
Lodge doctor that he withholds his
name, because as q dear friend of
the maligned we should certainly
give it away, and then the f~ire-eat-
ing Marquis would make him swal-
low his own prescriptions and wash
'em down with Cottonwood bug
juice. Sex the fly cops onto him,
Marquis.

The Wife Of an Ambassador

recently put the following question
to the daughter of one of our mer-
chant princes at a Presidential levee.
my dear, I was told before I visited
America, that your country women
were not remarkable for fine teeth.
I find it quite the contrary. Take
your own for instance. Pray what
deatifrice do you use." II have
used Sozodort for years and prefer
it to any 'other," was the response.
Reader, follow her example!

Explanatory and Apologize.

The Helena Herald assuming to
speak bv the card has the following,
which indicates that nOtwithstand-
ing the evident Encouragement in
matters of detail which has charac-
terized the grand excursion, and re-
suited in considerable discomfort and
much misunderstanding, Mr.. Willard
is fully alive to the endorsements
of the situation and disposed to rec
ognize the courtesles due tn Butte
which were apparently ignored:
ut was a matter of sincere regret
to Mr.. Willard that his firm purpose
to visit Butte was miscarried, es-
pecially after the polite attentions
shown him by its citizens and the
managers of the Utah & Northern
Rail way Company. He himself was
somewhat indisp0sed, but did not
propose therefore to fOrego his visit
to the Northern mining metropolis.
Many of his guests had become inn
patiert to get to the sea-
board. and they themselves suggest
ed to Mr.. Winser that they did not
care to defect from the line of the
road even to visit so thrifty and in
teresting q place as Butte. VII. Viii
lard was not informed of this desire,
but a subordinate on board the train
having heard this desire of many of
the guests to proceed directly east,
and not desiring to disturb Mr.. Viii
lard, ,who "a i'll, took it upon him.
self to decide to forego the visit over
the Utah & Northern to Butte.
We have reas m to know that MI.
Willard did not know of this purpose
until he was this side of the range,
and that if he had been consulted at
Garrison he would have insisted on
going to Butte after the h~eepitable in
vitation and attentions extended to
HIM and bis party, even If some OF
the guests otherwise desired.
It is not therefore true that the dis
patches of Mr.. Buckley and Mr.. Viii
lard. apologizing for the seeming
neglect, are eith-r false or lnslncere.
Mr.. Willard wished to visit Butte,
and those who heard him express his
sense of the seeming slight which
had been put upon that busy town,
and bis regret at its occurrence, DO not
doubt in the least that if the subor-
dinate who modified the programme
had first consulted MI. Willard n
party would have visited that place
at ali hazards and sacrifices.
A little fire kindles q great matter,
but in this affair which SO greatly
annoyed MI. Willard. there is no
occasion for unkind remarks.

Facts That So Many of You Know
and Yet They're Worth
Knowing.
Than Tenement Houses.
No Rent.

Yesterday revolutionized trade;
that is, it brought to the front some
goods that were in the background,
The weather sometimes reminds you
of your wants more forciblJ than we
can; and it's we'll for the protection
of health that it does. Many of you
naturally come to us for "dull" as
we'll as fair weather goods, and a
good many of you came yesterday
and bought literally. You come to
us because you are reasonably sure of
getting what you want and at the
right plice; if we areat fault IN either
respect you know we will take back
the goods and refund the money
without q murmur. You know our
assortment of every line of goods we
carry is so extensive that it is reason
able to suppose we can please you
best: that we aim to handle only re-
liable goods, the merits of which
have been thoroughly tested, and
that if there is any difference in
prices We have it nearly every time.
1t is worth something to us for you
to know the facts enumerated,
and it is worth something to you.
A business prospers best the bene-
fits of which are reciprocal. When
we lose sight of that principle our
prosperity will begin to wane.
Our shoes and gossamer coats for
men, ladies, misses and children;
boots and shoes. umbrellas, under
wear, blankets, quilts ETC., r some
of the goods that the weather boom
struck yesterday and it found us at
our post, ready. We have blankets
at S.. 90 that are good value; better
grades atss$6, s., $40 and upwards;
quilts 81 and upwards.
Our fall and winter stock of hoods
and hosiery for ladies, misses and
children is here. Comparing this
with last year there are at least three
things in your favor: Price, variety
and desirahility-all important. Are
they not? There's a pile of trunks
and valises in the rear of our corner
building-White Hall-that are
cheaper than tenement houses. The
first cost being less and no rent topay
thereafter-and some are nearly as
large.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

The Coolidge Train Robbers.

Sr. LOUIS, Oct. IA Dodge City
special says: Those in charge OF the
matter seem to think that Dean, of
the party arrested for the train rob-
berry in Coolidge, is the man who shot
Hilton and Fadels, and the lines seem
t. be drawing closely around him as
the leader Of the gang. He tells a
very explicit and apparently straight
story. but the officers have discovered
that it fails to hang together in many
very important particulars. The mat
ter will fully develop in a day or two,
and 1t is more than likely that n of
the men now held Will give the whole
thing away. There is a determina-
ton among those representing the
railroad company and the State to
bring the scoundrels to justice at all
hazards. A deputy sheriff is now at
Coolidge and also Jack Bridges, the
city marshal, and deputy sheriff
White. They will say nothing, but it
is thought by many they have some
clue, and are forging chains more
closely about Dean.
