The Bar Banquet.

@z@4aaA~#szMMmML ----aa@Ap@
7 The members Of the Benton bar asso-
Eciation, with a few invited guests, in
Judge Galbraith; Hon. Jos. X.
Toole, acting district attorney; A. b.
Hamilton, members of the legislature;
Jere Sullivan, Esq, secretary OF the
grand Jury; deputy sheriff George Houk
and a representative of the RIVER Press
met in the dining room of the Grand
Union hotel, last Wednesday evening,
the occasion being the long talked OF
banquet given by the association.
The chair was occupied by Col. J..
Donnelly, president of the association,
Judge Galbraith being seated at his
right and Mr.. Toole at his left. To at
tempt a description of the menu would
be beyond the reporters powers, and
we will content ourselves with saying
that it was the finest that Benton could
furnish and was done ample justice to
by the members and their guests.
The first toast of-the~eveaing, "Our
| Guests was responded to by Mr.. Toole,
| whose manner on such occasions is al
ways most happy, and his remarks were
no exception in this case.
Judge Galbraith" was responded to
by that gentleman, who spoke of the
| courteous treatment he had received in
| BonJOu, HOL Ouly iiOii CkIO "
the bar and the officials Of the court, but
| also from the citizens generally. he
spoke in eloquent words Of the city OF
Fort Benton and pictured a bright and
prosperous future for the metropolis OF
Northern Montana.
To the toast of "The Press" Mr.. Z.
M. Eastman was called on to respond,
which he did with all the eloquence for
which he is noted, and the third estate
did not suffer in the least in his hands.
"The officials Of Choteau county" was
responded to by Mr.. Houk, and when
we say that his effort was fully equal te
any of his campaign speeches we have
given it sufficient praise.
"Our PRESIDENT brought forth a neat
little speech i'll reply from Col. Donnel-
", and the last regular toast of the even
ing, 1.-THE Ladies' gave Mr.. 6. W. Set
tie an opportunity to favort the company
with one of the best speeches of the
evening, his glowing words and flow o.
eloquence bringing most hearty anc
continued applause.
Several %impromptu speeches followed
in~terspersed with the brilliant and witty
savings and bora-naots that might have
been expected from tlse company assem-
bled, and about two o'clock the party
separated, carrying with them a happy
and what we believe will prove a lastins
remembrance of the first banquet OF tn
bar association Of the city Of Fort Ben
ton.

Troops for the North.

r Company B, Second Cavalry, Capt.
'Rawolle, and Company K, Capt. Nc
Adams, which left Fort Maginnis last
Sunday, arrived on the bottom across
the river yesterday afternoon, and are
Ecamped there at present. Capt. Nc
Adams is in command Of the squadron,
and Lieut.. Brett and DR.. Richards are
with them. The squadron are n route
to the Sweet Grass hills, near the boun-
diary line, are accompanied by a large
supply train, and will make a summer
camp in that vicinity. This move will
meet with the approval Of all the peo-
pie Of Northern Montana, and is Darti-
cularly welcome to the stockmen whose
cattle are in danger from the red thieves
across the border. The Second Cavalry
are old frontiersmen and Indian fight
ers, and are splendidly differed. We
have no doubt that if the Crees attempt
another raid the boys of B and K will
acquit themselves with credit.

Keen IT In Your Room

Where it will be ready for any and all
emergencies and don't forget that it is
the remedy in all cases Of catarrh, ner-
vousness, blood poison, general debility,
female weakness, kidney and urinary
diseases, salt rheum, erysipelas, scrofula
and all diseases of the blood. In dlph-
liberia it has proven a wonderful success.
Taken in double doses, and at once upon
the first symptoms Of the disease, 1t VIII
give instant relief. In that case let the
medicine adhere to the throat as much
as possible by gargling tand do not take
water after. If you do not like the taste
eat a peppermint drop after, and that
will take the taste away. Dr. +. Is. Hal
liday's Blood Purifier is no humbug or
quack medicine, but a remedy OF select
merit, as hundreds Of our citizens will
gladly testify. w. j. Minar, druggist,

o Shotn Suicides.

Clark, the Assinaboine driver, brought
in the news last evening that "Old
Shot, jim Wells cook at Clagett, COM
mitted suicide some days ago. He
handed jim $50, all his wealth, saying,
IF you don't see me again, give it to
the Children and walked off to a cabin
near by. Soon afterwards shots were
heard in that direction, and when the
cabin was entered "OldShot" was found
dead with two bullet holes in his fore
head. What prompted him to take his
life is not known, except that for some
time he has not been quite Of sound
mind. The deceased was al old-timer
along the Missouri and was well known
in this city.

Good Advice.

You will prevent and cure the greater
part Of the ills that affiict mankind IN
this or any section, if you keep your
stomach, liver and kidneys in perfect
working order. There is no medicine
known that does this as surely as Par
ker's Ginger Tonic. It will keep your
blood rich and pure, and give you good
health at little cost. See other column.

George M. Woods has got his dairy
COWS on his Highwood ranch, and be-

Our young friend and former White
Sulphur Springs correspondent, Harry
A. Brown, has taken the position Of
night clerk at the Grand Union hotel, a
position which, we think, he is pecu-
iiarly fitted to fill. Harry has many

We regret to state that little Alma Set
tie is quite ill. She had been up on the
hill side with some companions, n on

poisonous weed, and, childlike, put it in
her mouth. We hope to soon be able to
report her complete recovery.
All of the machinery for the Collar
mill at Maiden had not arrived at the

firm is buying shows that times must be
picking up in the bonanza district, for it
will take a good many people to get away
with the large stock. The firm is com
posed of energetic and good business
men, and their success and flnancla
prosperity is as certain as the fact that
they we'll deserve it.

A WIDOW WTrH a GLAgs EYE

The prettiest widow in all this great me-
trop0lis, says New York correspondent,
is lemon and lily blonde, ranging from
FIVE to eight incnes in thickness, and pro.
portionately small in width with no more
than eighteen years to her age, and enough
of q fortune to ALLOW OF doing Just as abe
pleases abort marrying again. l was in
her party at the Madison Square Theater
the other night, and we were weeping more
or less over the sorrows of the play. AL
lowing for the hearty dinner which knew
the widow had eaten, there couldn't have
been room for great amount OF emotion /;
and when l saw that tears were yelling up
in enc of her eyes and not in the other, |
surmised that the dinner had got entirely
on one side Of her midriff and the symps-
thy all on t'other. But l was wrong and
this is how found out. The widows es.
cort was ssppy young fellow, whose love
was as profound IS his shallowness permit
ted. Alter puzzling himself over the dry
ness of one of her eyes while its mate was
brimmier, he asked for an explanation OF
the phenomenon.
"And which eye do you admire most z
she said.
"H-h-hard to tell, he stammered. "The
one w.w.with the tears sort of melts a fell
low, d-don't yeu know, and the one with
out the tears sets him abaze with its
flashes"
"on the whole, now, which one do you
preferl" !.
Wa-wa well, think the d-d-dry one. "
"Im so glad. Dolphy, to hear you say
that, and the widow besmed rapturously
into his face, "becsuse the eye is glass
one, and I'm sometimes afraid it disfgures
me-"
This revelation lost her lover, and !
don't suppose she will miss him from the
gang, and she certainly had fun with him
while he lasted.s
