are so natural that one almost dips his
nose into them to inhale their supposed
fragrance. They are worn in immense
punches both ON hats and as corsage
bouquets. But if we were girl, hanged
if we'd wear a bouquet Of crushed roses
on our corsage unless it was known to
the world that we had no beau, or unless
our beau had a certificate of sheepish-
ness signed by his pastor and counter
signed by the Board Of School Direc-
tors.
With the broad light Of the 10Th cen
fury beating upon our admirable code Of
postal laws, it nevertheless seems a. if
some people never can learn that it re-
quires three cents to transport piece Of
writing, no matter how small the sheet,
from one postofice to another. Another
matter which causes us to "kick" like
the proverbial bay steer is communities
ton from the east asking innumerable
questions, requesting an immediate an.
swer and copy of the CHRONICLE.
Mr.. J.B. Hubbell, chairman Of the
Custer county board Of county commits
sioners is now in Bozeman, and contrary
to the report in the Independent of the LIST,
has not been arrested. He states that
Briggs has not been arrested as reported
in the same issue. Mr.. Hubbell is in
splendid spirits for man accused Of 30
much and threatened withimmediate ar
rest, as our enterprising cotemporary
would have it appear. The friends Of
Mr.. Hubbell expect, when the proper
time comes to see him exonerated.

ma Anderson, engineerin-chief, and with

bridges and buildings in operation east

In the Independent Of recent date Is
quite lengthy article on base ball, in
which the local editor boasts of Helena's
phenomenal players, and seems to think
if Benton and Missoula does not come to
the front Helena will stand undisputed
| champions Of Montana. Not 20, Mr..
Editor, Bozeman will soon put team
into the field which will gladly contest
! with tho foremost clubs in Montana,
Helena preferred, and At the end of the
base ball season if the championship does
not settle down in Bozeman we shall
miss our guess. This season should be
an interesting and prominent one in base
ball circles in Montana, and some fine
sport is looked for by the fraternity.
About ten days ago an old timer was
interviewed concering piece Of proper
ty he owned, and he said he would have
mo middle men in his" and proposed to
sell it himself A few days ago he discov-
cred that Rountree & Quaw had sold his
neighbors property on both sides Of him,
but strange to relate he had not had
single applicant. At last the truth dawn
ed on his benighted brain, that handling
real estate was as much q profession as
any other branch of business, and as he
ascended the broad stairway leading to
Rountree & Quaw's princely apartments
in the Courier building he was heard to
remark, give per cent on dollar is
good deal, but suppose 1 have got to
stand it, if I mean to ever dispose Of
the place."
Our special correspondent at Helena
writes that the trial Of Henry Forhman
for the killing of Jacob Kenck, last fall,
occupied the time Of the most Of last
week. Lawyer Carter was the assigned
attorney for the defense and done his
best to save the old man. The case was
given to the jury on Thursday afternoon
and after an absence of twenty-four hours
deliberately rendered virdict of guilty
| of murder in the first degree" Saturday
at two o'clock, p. NJ, Judge Wade pro-
nounced the sentence of death and order
ed that the execution take place between
the hours of 10 a. m, and 2 p. NJ, Of
Wednesday, May End, 1883. The DOOM
ed man is over seventy years of age and
a cripple. It is thought that Gov. Crosby
will commute the sentence to imprison-
ment for life.
A Helena young lady, being afflicted by
an obstinate cold, concluded as last des-
perate resort to try the curative effect of
taking the family washing. To her own
surprise and the infinite qualification Of
the family, she was speedily relieved Of
her cold and restored to health and .un-
wonted.usefulness. The happy benefci-
ary of the wash-tub cure says that the
steam arising from the tub wrought the
magical change, and she at once impaired
her secret to young lady friends similarly
afflicted, who have tried the remedy with
like wonderful results. We hasten to
make public this important discovery for
the benefit Of all Montana young ladies
who have long been weeping and sneez-
ing, and almost unable to MARBLE the
wailing inquiry: "Why am weak and
weary" There is balm in the wash-tub.
Suffering sisters, try it, and be happy
