appeared here last Friday evening. MI
Haynes, pianist, was left i'll at Missoula
Mrs. Osborne is u good elocutionist and VIC
calist, aud does her character sketches ad
mirably. Her Irish songs and sketches wer
frst-class. She had, practically, to give tn
whole entertainment, and had no instrr
mental accompaniment for her singing

well. The company will be reorganized an
have Bessie Louise King with it after he
forty weeks engagement with the Moss Mir

We notice by the report Of the insane asy
lum for the past month, that very old lad
named Harris, Of Missoula, has been place
therein, and we presume this IL the same pei
. son referred to by the Inter- Mountain. If, a
alleged, she is harmless, as well as blind, an
has sons able TO support her, she shoul
never have been sent to the insane asylum
IL appears TO be sad case of "Over the Hill
to the Poor House" In amending our Law
concerning insane persons last winter, til
F. Legislature did more than 1t probably In
, tended 10 do in providing for the admissio
} of persons adindged insane. The law no.
; provides that whether INDECENT or not
, they shall be admitted and "cared for by I'll
! Territory" This clause has resulted in som
cases of abuse, and the law should b
amended so as TO require those who al
! abundantly able, or their close relations VIII
D are abundantly able, to pay for their keel
