From Thursdays Daily
The Great Infdel,

Bob IDgersoll had II of the
toughest experiences of l is life at
Victoria, British Columbia. and 1t is
reported that he is going to sue the
corporation of Victoria for heavy
damages. The city authorities
undertook to prevent him from lee
turing in the new Royal opera house,
and at irst ~IDgersoll though he
would have to hire a steamer and
take his audience out of sight Of the
town in order to deliver his lecture.
Finally there was almost a pitched
battle for the possession of the build
ing. Ipgersoll, accompanied by his
family and the United States consul
aud others, pushed their way in,
although the superintendent of pt lice
had ordered the treasurer to stop SELL
ing tickets, and the front ofthe build
ing had been closed. One plucky al
deTman took Ingersoli's part, and
condemned the attempt to prevent his

pened says: 1.-The scene that fol-
lowed beggars description. Windows
and doors were smashed in. by which
entrance was effected. The police
were powerless to keep order or car
nv out instructions. The crowd was
with the lecturer, and were deter
mined to hear him. During the melee
several ladies tainted. After the pO-
lice found they could not prevent the
lecturer going on, they c%ontented
themselves with trying to keep or
der. Immediately after the lecture
was over Colonel Ipgersoll took a
steamer tor Washington Territory.

The school is prospering finely.
Just now the rage is for bones, and
enthusiastic expeditions are out
searching for the whitened skeletons
on the outskirts of town. The little
ones are learning rapidly and getting
interested in Miss Mintzer's kinder

sensible basis for education.

Preparations to Receive Cleveland.

BUFFALO, OFT. 2.-Indications at
noon to-day are that it will be imp0e-
sible to carry out the detailed arrange
ments SO deliberately for the reception
of Governor Cleveland tonight. It
has been steadily raining since day
break and there is nothing to warrant
the belief that the rain will cease.
However, should the clouds clear
away there will be witnessed one of
the grandest parades ever held in the
city. Democratic forces have been
hard at work; subscriptions have
been more than usually liberal; BAN
ners and transrarencies without
number and designs have been pre-
pared; marshals and aides have been
appointed and the work put in such
shape as to, weather permitting. well
come the governor in a royal manner.
A column will be formed of six large
divisions with bandsand drum corps
as follows: The first division will
consist OF the ward phalanx-about
a thousand men from the governors
home ward, to be followed by the
national veteran association of 5000
men and the Democratic legion of
5000. These will he followed by the
governor and reception committee
in carriages.

Yorick's Love.

Speaking Of the above play, to b,
performed during Lawrence Barrett.
engagement in Butte, the London
Times says: "Mr. Lawrence Barrett
made his long-expected appearance
at the Lyceum last Saturday in
"Yorick's Love-" and met with a
reception of the warmest and most
enthusiastic character from q nous
crowded with all sorts and conditions
of p~laygoers. Mr.. Barrett might
have felt sure at least of q kindly
reception, but we may at once hon
estly say that no such kindness was
needed to insure Mr.. Lawrence
the hearty measure OF favor
which was unbegrudeingly accorded
him on Saturday. We are glad to
give a tribute of welcome and con-
graduation to an actor in whose
hands the artistic reputation of his
country is more than safe, and who
.orthily maintains the sympathy
which his gifted countrymen and
women have established with En-
,lish audiences from an English
tage."

Caught and Let Go,

Last winter a cowboy named Hal
Tollifer, who worked for Zook & AL
derson on the Rosebud, took a shot
at a Cheyenne named Black Wolf,
and ploughed a hole IN his scalp.
The Cheyennes were so incensed at
the unprovoked attack that thew
burned. Zook & Alderson's ranch
buildings. For this they were ar.
rested, and four OF them are now
serving terms in the Deer Lodge
penitentiary. Tolllftr, who caused
all the trouble, fled, and it seems was
traced to Mexico. The Miles City
papers give a vague account of how
Frank Conley, IN officer of Custer
county, was sent there to arrest him:
how Tollifer was enticed into Texas
and arrested, and how for lack of
money to bring him back TO Mon
tana for trial he was set at liberty.
There is an element of mystery about
the whole affair.-Enterprise

Everybody Help.

If We all lend a helping hand, Bntte
will make the best showing at the
Worlds Fair of any district in the
whole range of North American
fields, as far as number of mines, and
prospects, variety, quality, quantity
and beauty of ores are concerned. Of
course we have reference to our par
ticular kind of ores -galenas, carbon
atts, coppers, etc., etc.-Reculiar to
our district, and recognized as mil
ling and smelling ores. Yet in Sum-
NIT valley there are numerous veins
of milling ores, and in a number of
localities nearly free gold ores have
been found. The samples should be
of good size, as a large specimen con-
veys an idea of ore in quantity or
bulk, while a small and rich one
might leave the Impression that the
vein was + arrow and the ore limited
extent.

From We(h)l to Woe.

Yesterday morning John Murray,
perceiving the approach Of winter in
the dark sky, and also netting the
fact that his summers work had not
left him the wherewith to purchase
an o~vercoat, concluded to appropriate
one belonging to a friend. No
sooner had he made away witn it
than a second thought struck him
that a man with an o%vercoat and
without any money was in the same
pre- dicament that a cat IN Hades
wOnld be without claws, so he took
the overcoat to a ''pnilanthropist"
who kindly advanced him three
dollars on it. His friend who lost
the overc0at made a tour of the pawn
and found it. The pawn
broker gave the description of the
man who pawned it, which led to
the arrest of Murray, who will
languisb for a while in q retreat
where an OvercOat is an unnecessary
of apparel.

A Poor Way.

A newspaper may contain lnnu-
merable items all calculated to aid in
advertising the country abroad and
attract immigration. The editor may
work faithfully for the benefit OF the
town and county, and yet there are
some.who call themselves business
men, WHO rather than to allow the
printer to make the same profit on
his work that they make on their
merchandise, send East for work IN
his line. Suppose all the people sent
East for the articles necessary to life
and comfort, what kind of a business
point would Butte be to-day? Ana
vet if they did such a thing, they
would only initiate a kind OF bus
mess men we know.

Miles City Record: The personal

the forthcoming delegate from Mon
tana, is striking and impressive. He
is fully six feet tall, straight as an
arrow, of medium stoutness, not raw
boned or unduly t1eshy. file wears a
mustache and chin whiskers, which
with his hair and eyes, are brown.
His forehead is high and facial and
appearance generally intellectual.
He is an eloquent speaker, and one
whose personal presence is very inn
p lessive. His ability as q speaker
and a knack of making himself per-
sonally popular with I'll whom he
meets will enable him to make a
V of the Territory,
which he intends to traverse care
