AMUSENI ENTS.


Haverly's MINISTRIES have cancelled their
engagement for tomorrow night and will
not appear here until come time In February.
Manager Baylis is negotiating with the
manager Of the Chestnut Street Opera
House OF Philadelphia with view of giving
the 'silver King" in this city with all the
scenic effects that has made its run at the
Chestnut so successful.
The "World" by Little Company will be
presented at the OPera Eouse on Monday
and Tuesday evenings next. OF this
play a Fremont (0hio) paper says
1.-THE entertainment given last evening was
the best show by far, that ever exhibited In
Fremont The scenic effect has never been
surpassed. 1t will scarcely be believed that
on the small stage at Opera Hall, the ocean
nothing but sky and water-cou!d be
represented, but such was the fact. For
miles, it seemed, in the distance where sky
and water met, the restless waves surged TO
and fro, and the three lost creatures on the
rocking raft, impressed vivldly upon the
mind the horrors of such fate. The moon
light panorama was great. The escaped
prisoner rowing for miles down river with
ever varying scenes on its banks, and the
channel widening until 1t becomes a lake,
from the ripping waters of which the beams
of the rising moon were reflected, was
simply the mos marvellous thing ever pro-
duesd on the o ra Hall stage,

burial Of j. n. Ocholtree and His Wife,
This Afternoon.


This Afternoon.
Long before the hour appointed for the
double funeral of j. Maxwell Ocheltree and
wife TO take place from the West Prefby-
teriau Church this afternoon, the church
began filing up, and when the cortege arrived
with the remains In two hearses driven side by
side, every space allotted the general public
was taken. Smith Post firing party acted
as escort aud marched Immediately Ia front
Of the hearses which were followed
by long line OF carriages
beside large concourse of
people ON the side walk. When the
church was reached the remalns were carried
into the body Of the church at the head OF
the procession, and more impressive and
solemn sight is hard TO imagine.
The two collins were slowly carried
into the church, followed by the two
small children Of the deceased. Impressive
servi, es were conducted by Rev. A. N.
Keigwin, of West Church, and the inter-
ment took place at Rlyerview.

You will see many adver-
tisements about large stocks of
Fall and Winter Goods and
each one will claim to be
ahead of their competitors, but
we will be content to let the
readers of The GAZETTE know
we have a larger stock than
usual because our trade de-
mands it, and this is an eyi-
dence that our goods are sold
at as low prices as elsewhere,
or a little lower for same
quality.
Our Children's Stock is COM
plete. We do not mean by
that to tell you we keep the
low-price shoddy goods, but
we do have a good quality at
a very low price, and yet we
sell more of our suits from five
to ten dollars.
In our Boys Department we
have some very stylish gar
ments to show you, while the
young men cannot help being
pleased by making a selection
from our nobby styles
We have over Forty Styles
to show you in our Mems De-
partment, and now, kind
reader, just visit us at your
earliest convenience and let us
show you our goods, and see
If it will not be to our mutual
interests to deal with each
other.
This does not give you much
of an idea Of our stock, but il
you will stop in at

Railroad Racket:

The Park branch will be fifty-three
miles in length and will be finished
in ninety days. -,
The last ties for the Northern Pa
cific branch to the National Park
have been delivered.
The Utah 4 Northern company
will erect a temporary depot at the

Judge Wade appointed three Com

The trestle on the Northern Pacific
across Corsican defile, twelve miles

will be 800 feet in the air. The
length of the trestle is 2,4OO feet.
Last week the cars advanced to-
ward Missoula at the rate of over q
mile a day, on an average, and the
iron horse has poked its nose up to q
point less than fifty miles from that
place.
Government inspectors have just
examined and accepted another SO

county, which makes 375 miles of &C.

Commissioner Lamborne econ
mended to the company that Mis-

that repair shops be built there, and
that the depot be constructed of

Theatre ComiQue.

The company of artists now play
ing at the Theatre Comique have be-
come prime favorites with the Butte
play going public. Under the man
agement of Billy Morris, who is him
self a talented comedian, frequent
changes of programme are made 30 as
to present a diversified entertainment
and bring out the whole strength
of the company. His great
sparring act with Grace Alvin is
immense. The double - statuary
scenes by Grace Alvin and Jessie
Grant are beautiful models of grace
full pose. Herne and Roscoe, the
great acrobatic song and dance team
are great in their specialties. Hank
Hawks, the eccentric comedian, is
one of the funniest burnt cork artists
in the business. Lilly Gordon, the
old favorite serlo comic artistic has
been ill for several days past but will
be able to appear tonight. Minnie
Lamont enchants the audience with
her full rich tones in popular ballad.
The Foy sisters, Ada and Violet, are
stars in their profession, and are
nightly encored in their popular
original sketches. As a whole the
Comlque has never had a better
company, and the enterprise exhib-
tied by Mess. Raymer and Gordon in
its organization deserves all the sue
cess they are receiving.

a Butte Mans Opinion Of the
Barker District.

Alex. II. Tarbett, of Butte, who
has been spending a few days at Bar
ker, returned last evening on his way
home. Mr.. Tarbett is a mining ex-
pert, and his visit to Barker was
made in part on his own account,
and in a measure as the representa-
tive of Butte parties who desire to
know something about the camp
with a possible view of investing
there. In a conversation with our
reporter last evening Mr.. T. ex.
pressed himself as we'll pleased with
the camp, and stated that its pros
poets, in his opinion, are exceedingly
bright: The work of develop
ment has not proceeded far enough
yet to tell with certainty what will be
the outcome, but the prospects are GER
tainly most favorable. While we
have not his statement to that effect
his authority for saying so, yet we
would not be surprised if a second
smelter at Barker, probably in an
adjacent districts, did not result from
Tarbett's visit. He will return
in three or four weeks to make fur
ther investigation, as it is little too
early yet for travel in the mountains.

the eighteenth century, is az follows:
About 1920 the French formed a set
Element at Port Dauphine, in the dis
'trict of Anosy, in the extreme south
east of Madagascar. This encroacll-

which the native king was killed
and his son carried away to France.
The French prevailed and occupied
the country until their dem:i'ion
was terminated by a general mas.

tor water and provisions, was COM
PEELED to put into Port Dauphine.
The captain, knowing the hostility of
the natives. pretended to be Al envoy
from the French King on q mission
of atonement and reconciliation. His
Overtures were accepted, his wants
W ere Supplied, and the Queen OF the
country, mother of the young prince
who had been carried away, paid a
visit to the ship. When she was on
board she watched the AN bath
ing and, observing one whose skin
was much darker than that OF his
companions, took it into her head
that he was her long lost-son. The
captain, fearing her anger, if she
were disappointed, prompted the
sailor to humor her. and the latter
having no objection to reigning in
Madagascar, came readily into the

The Bell Mine.

The new three compartment shaft
at the Bell mine has reached a depth
of 27O feet, which brings the bottom
of the shaft on a level with the old
workings in the 24O foot drift. A
station will be run at this point inn
mediately and a connection made
with the old workings hereafter.
Sinking Is progressing satisfactorily
and it is expected the 400 will be
reached in the next 40 days. Drifts
will then be run and the work of ex-
tracing the rich ore from the old
workings in the 24O foot drift will be
commenced.
