Fancy pincushions will command a fancy
price. IT'S too early for the church oyster,
but the lemonade and ice cream will he OF
draught-also the boys pocket-books Music,
dialogues, tableaus, etc., will form part of
the exercises, and we anticipate q general
gathering of the clans.
RESIGNED.
In my last letter stated that D. NJ. Learner
had been removed by Sheriff Berry and n
new Under. Sheriff appointed. cheerfully
make a correction, and state that Mr. Learner
resigned. The item was correct in other
respects.
SOMETHING CROOKED.
Last week paper was circulated collect
ing money for the benefit of Mrs Mary Han
non, widow lady, keeping a lodging house
on Main street. The money was undoubted-
10 collected. Mrs. Harmon In a card denies
receiving anything, and the general impress

BIOLOGICAL CURIos
Missoulian's are entering into the zoologi-
cal business little, possibly with view to
competing with the Greatest show on
Earth. Mr.. James O'Grady has at his saloon
pretty little fawn, with eyes that remind n
fellow of his girl Mr.. Moore: who lives
across the street, has young cinnamon bear
that is as savage as n city officer, and Mr.. d.
j. Heylron, of Harding & Co., is the proud
possessor of crested cockatoo that can
squawk just as natural as life. There are
many other animals in town-tigers and such
like cattle-but the above are the most
notable.
sTEvENsvILLE SCHOOL HOUSE.
We learn from Mr. John II. Catlin, one of
the trustees. that the contract for building n
new school house AT StevensviIle has been
let to some newcomers from the east. The
district builds the foundation and the con-
tractors complete the building according
to eciiicationS for the sim of - 800 Mon.
tana bidders didn't get within n mill. Of these
figures.
Missoula school bonds will be sold on july
9TH. The board then will have sufficient
cash in the treasury to warrant the construc.
ton Of new school buildings something that
Missoula sadly needs.
TO CELEBRATE.
We thought that our natal day would pass
save by extra libations of patri- |
otto bug juice, but thanks to the rustic and |
enterprise of VIM. B. Smith, the we'll known |
auctioneer, We are to have several contests of |
speed ut the fair grounds, with foot races,
sack races, base ball game, etc, the days fes-
tivities 10 wind up with n grand ball given |
by the A. o. L. w. at Arthur House hall |
We expect lots of people at the races-and
lance.
by the way, an excursion to Walla Walla |
over the \. p. II. Il. has been talked of for
he Fourth, but rs only about half q dozen |
men in the town can raise enough money 10
20 even to Frenchtown, it will probably not.
prove success.
Judge Galbraith arrived Sunday night and
opened court this morning in form. A great
many from Bitter Root are in attendance,
'nd the term promises to be lively.

On Sunday morning your correspondent
