THE OPERA OF PENELOPE
wound ND on Wednesday evening with a
social party as the after piece. "The lamps
shone DER brave women and fair men,
soft eyes looked love to eyes that spoke
again, and all went merry as marriage
bell" Messrs. Kennicott and Heidelberg OF
Butte furnished the music and all went of
very pleasantly. The operetta was we'll rem
dered on this last evening, the characters
having overcome their embarrassment so evil
dent on the first rendition. Mrs. Adair as
Penelope, was piquant and bewitching SER
want maid. Mrs. Myers enacted the part Of
the mistress of the mansion with spirit and
verve. A. w. Penrose, as Pitcher, would
put to shame any dandy peeler of the pre-
sent force, while as Fosser of the Grenadiers,
Mr.. Edmund Sherwood just walked OFT with
the cake. Were the United States Army
logged out like that brave son Of Mars, all
those recalcitrant wards of Uncle Sam who
get on the war and horse path would seek
the heavy timber Immediately And last
but not least--Gen. w. III. Penrose was 8
milkman to the manor born and handled the
milk cans and slaughtered the Queens En-.
glish with ease and grace. The entertain.
ment after paying all expenses, gave to the
Catholic and Method churches Sl6S each
OTHER ENTERTAINMENTS PROPOSED
We learn that some other ambitious anna
teurs have in rehearsal I. s. Arthurs power
full drama of "Ten Nights in Bar-room,
and intend producing the same some tim'
during June-proceeds for the benefit of th'
Presbyterian church; this, and the Methodist
church fair will keep the religious elemen
prett we'll engaged until circus time.
BRANcHED OUT.
Solomon Bros, following the prevalen
fever have branched, and now have mer
camille house in Stevensville as aslo the pa
rent in Missoula. When the railroad hit
Root river the woods will be full of store
and the papers Of bankrupt sales.
SALE OF THE FAIR GROUND.
The ancient order of the w. NJ. A. NJ.
M. association offer for sale their track, fen
ces, buildings, water pipe, judges stand, etc
together with all and singular the herdita
ments, first mortgages, liens and other pei
sonal property. 1t looks little strange tina
after hanging on for so many years, with tn
tenacity of death to deceased African, tina
the association now OF the dawn of anothe
era for Missoula county, lgives up the ghos
finally and completely. As we have Away
claimed, to make that enterprise success
is necessary that the parties controlling
should have financial, which is vital In
terest, in the affair, and thus in a manner b
compelled to keep it moving as q matter Q
protection.
| TRACK LAYING SUSPENDED.
We learn that track laying has been di!
continued, pending the completion of tn
four bridges on the Jocko river. The grad
along the river win also have to be rip-rappe
in many places, so it does not look at preser
as though we'd jubilate to any great exter
in July. The trestle at Marent's Gulch wi
probably be completed before the trac
reaches that point, as work is being vigo
ously pushed to that end.
| PERSONAL.
Abbott L. Hodge, for many years resideI
of Missoula and Of late in the employ of
j. Fisk g. Co., goes to Deer Lodge on Wet
nesday morning to take position in th
agricultural house of Joslyn & Morse. W
commend Mr.. Hodge to your kind regard
and you will always find him o. X. and on
of the boys.
