CHOCK FULL OF FUN:
The Days Present Vacation at
the Opera House.
A Big Audience Highly Amused for
Two Hours.

Vacation, as presented BY the Days at
the Opera House last evening, is well
characterized as an athletic comedy, for it
is brisk, muscular and hilarious in its
movement.
Hidden away in the deep recesses some
where, a plot probably existed, but it
would require the laborious effort of a
Philadelphia lawyer to evolve it. There
was a good deal of chaos about the plot
sure enough, but the spectator had a
glimmering idea that two pretty aud
viyaeious Nassar girls, impersonated by
Miss Lizzie Derious and Miss Ada Stan
hope, respectively, meet at a Summer
boarding house two dashing and athletic
young gentlemen, students at Harvard
and Yale, respectively, who are hnperson-
ated by Mr.. Thomas A. DAILY, and Mr..
William DAILY, Jr., respectively. Miss
Virgie Vane'' (Miss Derious) and ''Viola
Vincent miss Stanhope), respectively
fall in love with the respective students
from Yale and Harvard. The affection
is r~eciprocated, for the Yale and Harvard
students respectively fall in love with the
respective Vassar girls, thus in~augurating
a rectangular love complication, so to
speak. A Harvard professor falls in love
with n OF the respective Nassar girls,
that is to say, to wit, ''Virgie Vane." As
this gentleman, PROF. Smythlin." (Mr.
X. ). Lylel' IS running into flesh and
badness his love Is not reciprocated. On
'he contrary, he arouses the holy flame in
the virgin breast OF a somewhat frisky and
sentimental maiden lady, Priscilla
Plush Miss Lizzie Dalyl. The respec-
tive body servants of the respective Har-
yard and Yale men, VIZ; Chaps and
Mitts, presented by Messrs. Robert
and Daniel DAILY. respectively, conceive a
mutual admiration for Della, the maid,
miss Josie Devoy), who is pretty enough
to be Vassar girl herself. Incidentally
there is a very funny French butler (Mr.
George w. Derious).
Just for the fun Of the thing they all
decide to have mock marriages performed,
to get a notion of what the real article is
like. The ceremony is performed and
subsequently proves to bea genuine Justice
of the peace performance, which is both
binding and everlasting, but nobody seems
to be nearly so astounded as might be ex-
pected.
With this pilot AZ an excuse the
DAYS crowd on to the stage the %iuiciest
two hours snort that Chevenpe has en-
loved for several months. There is heller
SHELTER action and uproarious merriment
peryadinp the performance from the
rising of the curtain to the going down Of
the same. Not a moment is wasted and
the large audience last night constantly
broke forth into bursts of spoutaneous ap-
plause. The athletic sports, the hieb kick
ing especially. were extremely meritorious.

National Bank have increased their capt.

increase indicates that the managers of

MELANCHOLIA.
An Isolated Miner Suffering From That
Malady.

Frank Heiston, known at Pioneer AZ John
Gibbler, is in a condition requiring treat
msnt at the hospital or asylum for mental
arrangement. He has been for many years a
resident of that vicinity-was at one time
engaged on the Clsgget, or Winchsll dig
giugs on Flint creek, and since tuen ditch
tender on the Pioneer ditch. For some time
he has been the victim of melsncholia. He
lives in an isolated cabin, alone, at the
mouth of French Gulch, about one mile
from Pioneer. The particular form of de-
mentia developed is apprehension that there
is a design to kill him-espscially by poison
ing. He IL destitute, and will not accept the
kindly offerings Of food from the people of
Pioneer lest they poison him. He lives,
barely subsists, on roots, berries and boughs
he finds in the mountains, and on seeing
people, especially If they are armed, will
strike for the mountains and hide. Sunday
last, it appears, Nick Beery and others pre-
vailed on him to come to Deer Lodge, he
promising that he would come, but on Mon
day when they went with wagon to bring
him he fed to the hills, and mp to this wri-
ting had not since been seen. 1t Is feared
that unless he can be put in good quarters
under treatment he will lie out some night
and perish, He is about 80 or 40, and physi-
cally . strong man. 1t Is believed good
treatment would In short time restore him.
He is from Lorsy, Virginia, where his peopl,
are said to be In fair circumstances.
Since the above was put in type Heiston
was brought to the Hospital, but escaped
Wednesday night.

DEER LODGE COUNTY ASSESSMENTS
The Tax Roll Exceeds Three and q Half
Millions.

Deputy Assessor Evans informs us that the
assessment OF Deer Lodge county up to the
present date is about $500, 900. He will
have supplemental assessment OF 500, 900
to $4,000. This as against 81, 677, 776 for the
year 1898. The list will still fall short of the
estimate OF four millions, and the reasons
assigned are a. follows:
In 1888 there were in the county A, 653
head Of sheep. assessed at slo2,979. Since
that assessment there have been sold and
driven out by Paris Gibson, 5000 BY Dow
enspecki 1000; Oscar Gruwell, 1000; J. w.
Blair, 1900; other parties, or butchsred.
2,6O0-total, 10000 head and few, IL any,
have been brought in.
In 1888 there were assessed 1888 head OF
horses, at 1882, 492. This year the assessment
is % per cent. per head less than last, that be.
ing considered fair estimate of the reduced
market value. There is practically no mar.
ket for horses In Montana or its neighbor-
hood this year. Three herds brought up
from Oregon have been taken back because
no purchasers could be found. One herd
driven to the North west territory was brought
back, no purchaser having been found.
The market value Of cattle and tho ASSESS
ment have also fallen off 10 to Is per cent. In
1883 there were IA ,59l head assessed at S3o4,.
@6. Since that assessment there have been
driven out or sold by Quinlan, 700 head by
n j. Bielenberg, 700 head !; by p. Larsen,
zoo aud by others to the aggregate of 1000
head These several items make difference
OF some $4,000. The assessment of Deer
Lodge town is about sss2,0oO; Of Anaconda,
about s525, 900.
The poll tax collected and to be collected
will amount 10 about s24OO

THE CROW RESERVATION.
Some Reasons Why They are Obstinate.
Livingston Enterprise.

Livingston Enterprise.
A gentleman whose position gives him a
fair opportunity Of knowing the feelings Of
the Crows, informs us that the prospects for
a segregation Of part of their reservation this
year are not entirely fiattering. Strange as it
may seem, the Crows have opinions Of their
own, imperfect though they be. The govern
ment now owes them in the vicinity of
$500 900, and they do not exactly understand
why that amount should not be paid them
Last autumn an installment of $50 900 was
paid. 1t was represented by about 300 cat
tie. Those cattle were furnished under close
contract by an Iowa firm. The conditions
were that the cattle were to be Of certain
ages. When they were unleadsd at Greycliff
many Of them were SO poor and weak that
they could hardly stand, and ali through the
winter they had to be CHILLED to save their
lives" and when slaughtered two men could
pick up carcass and handle it as easily as II
it were the body Of sheep. The contractor
who furnished the cattle fulfilled the letter Of
his contract, the agent had to received them,
aud the secretary of the Interior doubtless
congratulates himself on the success of his
pohSy' hC ouiN cy Vi tho ocNSAaity
lands in the Big Horn basin is also charged
up to the Crows, as are also the new agency
buildings there. The Crows are told that the
Great Father is, by comforting such substan-
tial benefits, paying them the amount due
them, but they, poor creatures, are slow to
appreciate all the paternal kindness that is
being lavished upon them, and in their coun-
ellis, with most singular perversity, keep dis
putting the ACCESSIBILITY Of selling any more
of their reservation to purchaser that is
slow to pay them for past sales. This feeling
is doubtless chargable to their gross ignor-
ance, but 1t nevertheless stands somewhat in
the way Of pending negotiations. Another
most nonsensical idea they have conceived
is that the white men in their negotiations
with the Crows are not always fair and open
In their language, and not so nicely scrupu-
lous in fulfilling promises as they might be.
They even 60 SO far as to follow the idea of
Solomon and express in their blunt language
an equivalent for his famous saying, call
(white) men are liars" They mean no par
ticular disrespect; the phrase is merely de-
scriptive and they would be surprised if any
person were insuted at it.
