The Hampton Students, company of
half dozen colored jubilee singers, wi give
an entertainment next Saturday evening at
the Presbyterian church. This company,
which is said TO be the original Hampton
Students, went west over the Northern Pa
cific In June, and have received some fiatter-
ing press notices on the Pacific coast. The
entertainment is of unexceptionable charac-
ter, aud as the jubilee songs always take
here, we anticipate the church will be
crowded. Tickets for reserved seats at Cole
mans.
Col. Ingersoll did not fill his lecture en-
gagement in Deer Lodge, considerably dis
appointing many who desired to hear him.
The reason assigned was that by lecturing
here on Sunday evening he could not make
the railroad connection to fill his engage
ments in the West. AS there was no change
in the railroad time, that matter should have
been taken into consideration before the an
nouncement was made. Beside, the lecture
here would not have involved the missing of
the connection.
The minstreiized version of Uncle Toms
Cabin was produced at the theatre Monday
night TO a large audience. The acting was
not generally so good az the Jay Rial Com
pany, but the "colored troops" got in the
vocalisms and antics in good shape. The
bone player was immense, and so was the
mouth of the tambourine man. A serious
accident occurred during the evening in the
failure to shoot the dogs. This calamity seri-
Ously marred the enjoyment of the audience
Eva's Rotations and singing were good and
one of the Topsys had a very vivacious pair
of feet. Really, the best of the performance
was the street parade Of the drum corps.
Enclosing the article entitled "Pike County
Poverty" "Missouran, Butte, NJ. t." asks
"in what State Is this Pike county 2" There
are pike" counties in Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
As the extract was from the Philadelphia
Times, the inference is IL referred to Pike
county, Penna This inference is strength
ened by the fact that it has less than 10000
people that 1t has increased but little in the
past 60 years, and that all the statistics OF
1880 evidence its poverty. We hope "Mis-
sourian" isn't sensitive about ''the county
Pike"
An Appohnaris water spring Is reported
to have been found on Mill Creek, not far
from Billings. The yield Is % to 30 barrels
per day, and 1t is to be bottled and put on
the market. That's right. The celebrated
Prussian spring yielding Appolinaris water,
is subject to peculiar climatic influences, or
is being overworked. As an instance of this
the commercial statistics show that while
5000 cases of it were received by steamer in
New York last year, 10000 cases were sold
from there. Water that will swell that way
in America Is not fit to be emptied into an
average-sized American stomach, and we
had better substitute some liquid Of less
pretentious and tranquil character. Marble
dust, sulphuric acid and few salts are not
conducive to health.
