Ridicule and sarcasm count but little
rs Argument and will not mislead sober
thinking men, upon any business prop
osition..
A movement is on foot to properly Gel
citrate the 4th Of July and due notice will
be- given in the CHRONICLE of meeting
for that purpose.
Willow Creek is 60 largely represented
in Boseman that we wonder if any body
is left down there to take care of the
farms and families.
The cost Of the proposed county re-
corders Office is not to exceed the sum of
$1,000, and people should not be misled
by the statement that it will cost from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Eight attaches, as advance agents of
Coles great circus. arrived in town to-day
and are making arrangements to appear
here June 2lst. Look ont for their ad-
veatisement Saturday.
Mrs. Henry N. Coffman died yesterday
at Pass Creek, this county. Mr.. Cofman
came to Montana about four years ago
from Missouri with his family and has
since lived in this county.
The agent of the Haverly Comedy

ments for that celebrated company to ap-
pear in Bozeman at Maguire's Opera
House on Thursday June 5th.
The ice-cream festival at the Skating
Rink last night under the auspices of the
Episcopal church was largely attended
and highly enjoyed and no doubt added
handsomely to the funds of the church.
District Court is still busy settling
motions, demurrers, ETC., and as yet very
little business of public interest has been
transacted. The grand juries are still at
work, but 80 far have not presented any
cases.
The United States grand jury have fin
ished their business and been discharged.
They have brought in several indict-
ments. The funds necessary to carry on
trials, ETC., have we understand fallen
short.
Miss Mclaughlin teacher of the Cath
olic school on Bozeman street, north Of
Main will take a few more scholars.
Now that the public schools are closed,
an opportunity is offered for tuition at
low rates.
M. M. Black lost his hat last night at
the festival at the rink, and as it had in
side an elegant silk monogram with his
initials, he will be much obliged to the
one who adorns his head with it, to at
least return the monogram.
The citizens of Livingston have petit
toned his honor Judge Cobuln to be in
corporated under the laws of Montana,
governing such matters From all we can
learn, however, the citizens will not ap-
prove it at the polls. A city government
is nice but 1t is expensive.
By an oversight we had neglected to
notice the arrival of Mrs. Bailey at one
time resident of Bozeman. She and her
then Miss Mollie Morton, now
Mrs. Henderson Of Salt Lake City. will
be remembered by many of the old resi-
dents, who will cordially extend hearty
welcome to her.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
will give an ice-cream and strawberry
shcrt cake festival in the building form
erly occupied by Mr.. VanAllen, one door
east Of L S. Wilson & Co., to which the
public are cordially invited to attend on
next Tuesday afternoon and evening.
These ladies have made their festivals
very popular and the proceeds are of
course for good cause.
An invitation is hereby extended to
all the old soldiers in the late war and to
citizens as well, to meet at the court
house at 10 o'clock a. M, tomorrow
Memorial Day. to take some steps to
duly celebrate the day. 1t is to be gen
orally observed all over the States and
in the territory, and Bozeman should not
be behind. Be sure and attend, and
make the occasion one of interest.
The water in the Yellowstone is very
high for this season of the year. The
warm weather which followed a cool
backward spring is rapidly melting the
great mass of snow in the mountain dis
tricts and every stream is sending great
volumes of water to swell the main river.
This early rise will have the effect of
lessening the freshet that comes in June
which at one time promised to be alarm |
ingly high.
Mr.. Morley, father of Joe Morley, ar
rived yesterday to look into the affairs of
his son, and to inquire into, as far as he
can, the conditions which caused him to
commit suicide. His family we're so ut
terly surprised that they could not bell
eve there were any conditions surround
ing HIM which would lead to the COM
mission of such a rash act. We trust
Mr.. Morley will receive all the courtesies
that can be extended. We can assure
him of the warm sympathy of the entire
who were as much shocked
and surprised as was his family at his
tragic end.
