PERSONAL.

Mr.. Terrence Brady, now at Pioneer, is
suffering FROM Sciatica in severe form.
1t Is said Messrs. Henry Bratnober and
Hugh McQuaid, Of Helena, are now in Eu-
rope enjoying the delights Of that foreign
and foggy land.
Alice, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. A.
Farnsworth, has been quite Ill the past week,
her ailment being the sequela Of her recent
attack Of diphtheria. ...
8. Marchessau, Of Butte, is taking q few
days rest in Deer Lodge-the first in several
years. He appreciates the relief after his
successful but arduous business in Butte.
Mr.. G. d. Joslyn was at Salt Lake again
this week. 1t was thought by many Of his
best friends that he would not return alone,
but we notice he only registers for one at the
McBurney House.
Frank Woody, Esq, OF Missoula, one of
the first of the Montana pioneers, who has
more Montana history in his memory than
has ever been written, made brief call in
Deer Lodge this week.
Mrs. w. A. Clark stoppei over day in
Deer Lodge last week to say goodbye to
friends on her return to Garden City, Long
Island, where their children are now at
school. We hope it will not be so long be-
tween visits next time.
Patrick Kelley, of Upper Nevada valley,
who was thrown from horse Nov. 18th and
injured internally, was in critical condition
several days, but is now recovering. His
brother Michael has remained with him al
most constantly at st. Joseph Hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. J. NJ. Goodwin, of Salt Lake,
father and mother of Harry Goodwin, the
very accommodating Baggage Master at the
Deer Lodge depot, arrived from the south
Lake Tribune, his special business Mt present
being the preparation of statisties for the
Holiday edition of the Tribune. The number
last year was splendid one, and it Is design
| ed to excel that this year.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Birney, formerly OF
| Birneys Station, who settled last year at
/ Robles Springs, on the east side of the Coast
range, California, found the location too hot
and dry, and have removed to MORO, San
Luis Obispo Co., on the coast, and are de-
| lighted with the location. A transposition
from the Little Blackfoot to the semi-tropi
cal regions of the Pacific must be quite no.
ticeable.
Lewis Davis, of Blackfoot, left few days
ago for visit to friends in Chester Co., Pa
VIM. A. Duer, of Helena, went at the same
time to Arkansas. Ed. Mason, of Blackfoot
accompanied them this far on the way, and
gave them parting blessing. Nessrs. Davis
and Duer, with Joseph Davis Of Helena, are
the fortunate owners Of the Helena Hill dig
gings, covering some forty acres, which re
cent events have made very valuable towr
property. A few years ago Ed. Mason sold
a fourth interest in them for $500. The prop
erty is now worth $4,000 to 100000.

Thanksgiving Day.

The distinctive American social Holiday
was generally observed in Deer Lodge yes
terday-more generally, we believe, than on
any previous occasion. In Montana 1t lacks,
and by force of circumstances must for long
time lack to some extent, Its chief and most
ENJOYABLE claracteristlc-that of family re-
unions, when all living generations Of a fam
lily, from the babe in arms to the silver-haired
grandams and sires, meet around the Thanks
giving table and fireside. The country is too
new and too remote from the old homes for
that; but the sentiment is growing, the op-
portunities are increasing, and even now
Thanksgiving Day is regarded as the hap
plest family holiday, as 1t il essentially the
most social.
Yesterday the religious observances were
not forgotten. The Christian and Presbyte-
rianC Churches ofthis place united in Thanks
giving service at the Presbyterian Church
Elder Galen Wood, Pastor of the Christian
Church, delivered a very interesting dis
course to a good audience from the text
"Blessed Is the people whose God is the
Lord"
This is the first union service Of the kind
In thls place lot seNeFa years, anu VIC noPe
| it is the precursor of many others. Succeed
| ing this public observance, friends congre
gated around many festal boards. and wher
the eventide had come, old age retasted the
pleasures of youth, as those OF lesser years
enjoyed the festivities of the fireside with al
the traditional accessions of games and
romps, of cider, apples and nuts. May eacf
succeeding year see the Day still more ap
| preciated.

Montana Is a queer country and old
fashioned rules and regulations are some
times set aside without any more considera-
ton being given them than one would to a
repealed statute. The latest case in point is
that of Postmaster J. w. Toohey, Of Birney.
In due time after receiving his commission
he made out his quarterly accounts, and as 1t
was necessary to verify them by oath before
a notary or other person empowered to ad-
minister an oath, he was in quandary. His
place is over eighty miles from this city, and
no neighbors other than cowboys and ranch
ers. Finally he concluded that as he had
made the report he might as well swear him
self, which he accordingly did and forwarded
the papers to Washington. In due course of
time the papers were returned to him, ac-
companied by letter telling him that there
was no precedent for him swearing himself,
and that he must acknowledge before no.
tary or other person authorized to admins
ter the oath. His reply to the department
was Immediately forwarded and was to the
effect that be knew of no precedent that
would entitls him to mileage and expenses
to 90 hundred miles to be sworn, and that
IL it was not satisfactory they could get an
other man to run their mail shop. He has
not been bothered since, and now swears
himself regularly"
Mr.. Toohey Il, we believe, the comedian
who came to Montana as Manager Of the
Nellie Boyd Co. during its first tour here,
and who subsequently, took up ranch on
Tongue river, hundred miles from any
where. His late achievement in administer
ing tha oath Is about ~ good 9 joke ~ he
ever perpetrated on :he stage.

The above will be an instructive table to
those who have thought that owing to the
extension of the railroad beyond Deer Lodge
the demand upon our school facilities would
be lessened. The enrolment just completed
shows considerable increase over last year,
when the transient people coming with the
railroad were included. While some have
removed, there have more come, and no one
doubts that henceforth the demands upon
school facilities will steadily increase. The
report justifies the action of this district in
voting so, 900 In bonds for the construction
Of school house that will be in all respects
adequate to the requirements of the town.
No town or city in Montana will be so well
provided, in proportion to its population,
with educational facilities and large, sub
stantial, properly constructed school build
ings, but that is what we aimed to have, and
the above showing will satisfy those who
were apprehe we were building beyond
the requirements Of the case. Aside from
the Public School, the Collegiate Institute
and st. Mary's Academy are now in success
full progress, and Deer Lodge is what Its
friends have long wished and worked fora
town of superior educational advantages.

The Recent Failure
Rocky Mountain HusbaadmdR, -,

Rocky Mountain HuSbaadndR, 22d.
Fl G. Tillinghast & Co.. of Chicago, have
failed for the amount of S35oOO0 This un-
expected crash has caused u suspension of
operations by the Barker Smelter Co, of
which Tillinghast & Co. were the treasu-
rers, and has created great excitement in that
camp. The Tilhnghast failure is attributed
to Improbable mining operations in Bar
ker, but this Is hardly possible, as the Bar
kcr investment is only valued at $4,000,
while the assets of the company are
greatly in excess of this amount. Every
one is we'll aware that the Barker mines
are not the sole cause of the failure, rs no
such sum has ever been expended. Posi-
bly, it was the feather that broke the camel's
back, but it was small one in comparison
to the liabilities Of the company. The fail
ure has also caused the suspension Of Reed
& Co, merchants of Barker, who are also
said to have large liabilities. Great uneas-
ness prevails in Barker, ~ thousands of dol
lars of checks of the company are in the
hands of the people, and fears are enter
tanned that their payment will be refused
1t is also rumored that X. II. Clendenin, of
Martinsdale, is effected by the failure, as at
tachments have been sent out against him.
just what the ultimate result will be to the
Smelter Co. is not exactly plain at this writ
ing. 1t, however, has not failed but Tilling-
hast & Co. were the treasurers of the Co.,
and as the Montana banking houses were
cashing the checks on tho treaSurers of the
Smelling Co. an attachment on the SINE tier
became necessary in order to save them
selves. The First National Bank of Benton
levied the first attachment, amounting to
S45, 200, and the First National Bank of
Helena levied second one, amounting to
| about $4,000. Tillinghast & Co. are only
small owners in the company, and, notwith-
standing the heavy loss to 1t by having its
treasury ..swamped, it is possible for 1t to
work out this winter. There is ore enough
in sight in the Silver Bell mine to keep the
smeltcr running until spring, ani 1t is be-
lieved that two months run will pay oil the
liabilities of the Snelter Co., and strong
hopes are entertained that the suspension OF
operations in the camp are only temporary

A pOUDERIE.
The Deer Lodge Valley Gets AN Eastern
Blizzard.

Atnoon last Saturday the barometer, which
had been receding for twenty-four hours,
registered the lowest IL has for several
months Some little snow fell during the
forenoon. The temperature was ordinary,
no occasion existing for top coats. About
%. m. suddenly and furiously storm OF wind
and snow swept the valley from the north,
and the elements ragged As we have not
known here before. 1t was a wild, terrific
pouderie, the wind driving the snow down
from the clouds and up from the earth and
whirling it about so one could not see
house hundred feet away. 1t grewin few
minutes intensely cold; the roar Of the storm
was as though cyclone was raging, anu
every creyice in every door and window was
a. a broad highway where the snow whisked
In and piled itself in drifts. The Suherings
of those caught out doors and remote from
shelter were intense. A half dozen persons
In and about Deer Lodge were more or less
frost.bitten, although only exposed few
minutes. The worst of IL was over IN an
hour. but the afternoon entire was bad one.
Among the severer incidents was one on
the Utah & Northern, resulting in Z. NJ

The engine struck the cattle, killing two or
three, but did not leave the track. One OF

RAILROAD ITEMS.


Our correspondent at Garrison says This
metropolis has been quiet the past week, the
advent of Deputy Sheriff Mckinney having
had it's effect on the "wild and woolly" ele-
ment.
The Union passenger depot at Garrison is
finished except the windows, which are due
to-day. The officers expect to NOV" in about
Dec. 9TH.
Agent Smythe, Of Deer Lodge, has been
notified by Superintendent st. Clair that on
and after December 10th Garrison will be
made reporting Station" Mr.. Smythe
will probably be ordered TO take charge of
that office.
Vice President Thos. L. Oakes and party
were delayed several hours at Garrison Sat-
urday on account of the storm. They starved
themselves on oysters and enjoyed the storm
in palace cars.
Sixty cars of freight have been transferred
at Garrison the past week.
Although ordered by the n. p. Co. to
move some days since, all the proprietors of
restaurants or saloons "between tracks" at
Garrison still hold their ground. Nothing
has yet been done toward building side
tracks or transfer buildings.
Roadmaster Rice, as at present advised.
expects to put in a large car-yard on the q. &
n. at Garrison. 1t will be gravelled up two
feet deep and made frst-class. The gravel
will probably be hauled from the vicinity OF
Mulan canon. 1t il not unlikely the Com
pany will put in round house and repair
shops there, as the Eagle Rock she Fps are too
remote TO do all the work on the extreme
northern end of the division.
Thursday evening of last week two freight
cars were dumped off into tho fiat near the
Union depot at Garrison, the swItchman
having set the switch so they 'spilled" off a
spur track on about six feet fall. Nobody
| hurt.
| No U. & Y. trains were thrown off time by
the recent storm, even on Feely Hill Oh
Pleasant valley range. The little road Ii
well managed and operated.
| Eight head of stock were killed in this val
| ley during the storm. They would get on the
track and stand there. No accidents, Other
than narrated elsewhere, happened. But
wouldn't it pay the Company to fence the
track?

To the Young People of Deer Lodge.

Do you know how vastly important it is
to be able to write well? Do you know how
indispensable a good handwriting is, both
in business and social life How often do we
see business men of our town perplexed be-
yond measure, spending half or three-fourths
of an hour in trying to decipher scrawling
letter some man has written? Their time is
too precious to be spent in that way. As a
small town Deer Lodge is unsurpassed for
its educational advantages. And now Prof
Sawins, young, but skillful teacher, has
greatly increased those advantages by open
ing an Institute for the purpose Of teaching
both young and old the art of writing, draw
ing and sketching.
Mr. Sawins has been here for some weeks,
and the marked improvement and attention
of those who have been attending his Insti.
tute show his manner of instructing to be
superior to any we have ever seen. We
think Prof Sawins' Institute has splendid
inducements for the young people Of this
place to become expert with both pen and
pencil.
Prof Sawins can take any man, however
stiff and cramped his hand may be, and in a
few weeks make him a legible, rapid and
beautiful writer; thus proving, beyond one
ray of doubt, that writing is not natural
gift.
We would like to call the attention Of the
young ladies to the importance Of the most
i elegant course in perspective drawing, which
the Professor has. recently revised and con
ssructed. 1t is the foundation of all art In
the line of drawing, sketchiDg and painting
1t precedes n beautiful course of sketchine
from nature. His terms are very reasonable
and he would like to have all who are inter
ested in educating themselves, or parents
their children, in any Of these branches, te
visit the Institute, phere all are Uelcome, and
acquaint themselves with the Professor, his
| work and successful manner Of teaching
You will find the Institute a very pleasant
and instructive place to spend the evening:
| of this winter.

THE SOUTHERN CROSS GROUP.

Independent, 25h.

IHucpcitacNt, -Dat.
Jim Whitlatch, the old Montana rustler, Is
once more in the field, and from all
indications has secured q property which
will rival the Whitlatch Union in its
palmiest days. Last July he bonded q group
of mines for $4,000 in the immediate
vicinity of the famous Gable lead, in Deer
Lodge county, and which he was then salts
fed were extensions of the Gable. The
group consisted of the Southern Cross,
Sonora, Monitor, Pleaides and Monitor Ex-
tension. Immediately after bonding he put
q force of men to work taking out ore from
the Southern Cross, the most promising of
the group. He has now L, 900 tons OF ore on
the dumps which will 20 from ss to s12 per
ton in free milling gold. He Is now down
on the lead thirty.seven feet and has devel-
oped it to width of forty feet, but as yet
has found no walls. The expense Of taking
out the ore is only about sl.50 per ton and
the total cost Of mining and milling about
"a per ton. Mr.. Whitlatch yesterday COM
pleted one payment Of $4,000 and in the
spring win ship out twenty stamp quartz
mill from the east to erect upon his mine.
He has already been offered $4,000 for his
bargain, but refused, as he is satisfied that
he has one of the finest mines yet struck IN
