The question of the hour: Where, is
the Thanksgiving turkey to come from ?
Read Pat Worsham's sweeping notices
in this issue. He means what he says.
Luce & Armstrong are moving to-day
into their new rooms over D. d. Smith
& Cos.
Mr. Slower, the butcher, hung his blnak-
cts on the fence last night and woke up
this morning to find them gone.
A cowboy named William G. Butler
has taken to writing poetry. There are
depths of fiendish malignity too deep for
these wild citizens to explore.
Permit us to poise the periphery Of your
calm-like, pink-lined ear while We open
our facial chasm and whisper down its
yawning gulf, 1T showed last night"
J. NJ. Lindley is re-arranging and re-
furnishing his building opposite the
CHRONICLE Office, and will hereafter run
it as first-class lodging house.
Did You hear us toot ? We have got
to give vent somewhere, and our steam
whistle seems to be the loudest screamer
| in the outfit.
DR.. Monroe reports the arrival of an
other inhabitant last night-a little girl
and the daughter Of carpenter whose
name he did not know
The merry jingle of the sleigh-bell is
heard on the streets this afternoon
From appearance one is led to believe
that It won't last long, SO that You had
better make the best Of it.
d. II. Cuthbert, well and fayorably
known as long time resident of Helena,
has received the appointment Of post
master of that place. The appointment
gives universal satisfaction.
A train of "parlor cattle cars" arrived
at Chicago from Miles City in four days
time loaded with Montana steers They
were not unloaded the entire distance.
These cattle were shipped we believe by
the Myers Bros.
We acknowledge the receipt of nice
pair of Mallard ducks from VIM. Welch,
of the valley. He evidently knows that
an editor has to eat and that "ducrts" to
buy meat are not always present in an
editors pocket
| A prisoner in the city bastile set fire
to the floor the other evening, as he
explained, "to keep warm" Luckily
his lusty voice was heard by one of the
night Waterman, and the fire extin-
guished, or he might have been warmed
to a crisp.
/ The trial of Theo. Shed for the killing
of John Hugh will be concluded to-day
at Helena The testimony introduced
at the trial developed nothing new. The
defense has so far as we have been able
to learn been favorable to Shed, and we
expect a verdict Of acquittal.
John j. Reese brought to town on
Saturday a beet of the masculine and a
rutabaga of the feminine gender. They
are curiosity in their way and can be
seen at the Geyser saloon. The beet
beats all the beets we ever saw and the
Ruta Baga is fit companion for it.
Rev. r. NJ. Stevenson has very inter-
esting letter about Montana in the
Christian Hour of November 9th. The
reverend gentleman ably defends this
country and its inhabitants from the
slurs of eastern people and presents an
abundance of evidence to sustain him.
We are sorry that we cannot republish
the letter.
A soldier of Fort Ellis was married at
the La Clede hotel last night. After the
affair had been solemnized number of
friends, all soldiers, came to drink and
make merry with the bride and groom.
One of them had inhaled too much of
the 80. be joyful" and gave way to his
savage instincts, which resulted in his
being arrested and carried to dungeon
cell. This morning the frowning judge
simply said, "Five dollars and COSTS
Captain Bean. chief clerk of the rail-
wav mail service of this district, is in
clined to think that whatever trouble
there may be concerning the mail ser
vice along the western division of the
Northern Pacific is due to dissatisfaction
of route agents over long runs rather
than to the fact of overwork. He says
if there is anything like the reported ac-
emulation of mail in Portland, the men
are not doing their duty, since there is
force enough to do all that is to be done.
There seems to be little doubt, how
ever. that the runs ofthe men are rather
severe, extending as they do from forty
four to forty-eight hours, during which
time they are forced to remain close
prisoners in their cars.
DR.. Chambliss will occupy the rooms
made vacant by Messrs. Luce 4 ARM
strong. and hereafter you can get physic
| instead Of law in those rooms. We are
reminded that DR.. Barclay, of RAIDERS
burg, once received a prescription which
he could not decipher and handed it to
Warren Toole for elucidation, but that
gentleman handed it back with this re-
mark: "Why, doctor, this is not law. 1t
is physic." The disciple of Blackstone
could nnravel the most intricate meshes.
of legal proposition, but when it comes
physic he is Gin swampum, up-stnmpum,
non come-ati'bus."
! Fl. +. Smith and W. W. Howell, of
Helena, representing the Z. S. Collecting
Association are in Bozeman to-day max
ing arrangements for the establishment
of branch of that institution. Their
plan is to organize a company OF our
merchants, who once month make out
a dead beat" list, which is printed and
circulated among the members only.
Thus if a member is swindled he gives
in the name to Armstrong 4 Luce, the
company's attorneys. and the balance of
the members are warned and have no
dealings with the man. For protection
against the man, whom the law will not
touch. it is ueGualled.
