Episcopal Church arrived this week, and
will be used hereafter at the services at that
church. The festival given some time
since Melted about $9o toward paying for
the organ, and the ladies Of St James Guild

learn by reading the new Postal Law that
it makes the taking Of a newspaper and the
refusal to pay for the same, theft, and any
person guilty of such an action is liable to
criminal proceedings, the same as If he had
stolen goods to the amount Of subscription.
The Bozeman Courier asys that the Jun.
ior member Of Hinchnan u Award is an
extraordinary liar for one SO young. This
Is rough on "Will," who was regarded as a
model Of pure piety when he resided at the
Social City. We think the Courier is will.
fully mistaken, for surely the son Of cler.
gyman is not that kind OF boy.
Rev. Mr.. Wood, Of Helena, who recent
ly visited Dillon. lectures to the hoodlums
Of Helena on "Jehnism." Tells them how
to learn to drive stages coaches, We sup

chasing machinery for the smelter In the
Spring Mountain district. The smelter is

The attention Of Delegate Martin Ma.
ginnis is called to the fact that out Of the
$aoo,ooo appropriated by Congress for the
enlargement and construction Of military
posts in the Territories, not one cent goes
to Montana. Mr.. Maginnis must have
been loafing out in Minnesota when this
100000 was apportioned to the other Ter
ritories and Montana was left out.
The second number Of The Montana

notes and readable religious selections. Ed.

Of trouble for he says in loaded nonpareil

1t is reported that there will be contest
between Hugh McQuaid, manager Of the

mechanic" If the Mmi;souiau, at the next
Territorial Fair, for prize. The one who

A long pilgrim was noticed leaning "agin''
the sunny side Of the Dillon depot, with
the tears Of regret intrusively and involun-
tarilv swelling in his big blue eyes. On
being asked the cause Of his emotion he
sadly said: II KUN clean out from Iowa

feelings, go around to the Court House and
take out his naturalization papers, and af.
ter he had stuck to Montana awhile he
might become quartz or cattle king.
