Pleasantly in the memory for a long

PAID Tor any trouble or expense IN
the superb dramatic treat which was
presented to them. The support of
the star was in keeping with center
attractions and standard of excel

ital rendition of De Mauprat, won
public favor. Miss Marie wainwright
made charming "JulIe De Morti.

Rod in which the play occurs. Inde-
pendent of the lady's acting, which
was faultless, she deserves q special
compliment for her style of dressing.
There was character in it, and it is
not often such can be said of the tot
lettes of most leading ludies.
Mosley's De Barradas was very COM

were effectively sustained in compe-
tent hands. Tonight MI. Barrett
will appear as "Hamlet." There
will be another crowded house, as
very many seats are already engaged.

Something Like It.

Livington Enterprise: An item is
going the rounds of our territorial
exchanges to the effect that a can
vass of the presidential p%roclivlties
of passengers on the train which bore
the East Side delegates to the terri
torial Democratic convention,
showed lO2 for Cleveland and 137 for
Blaine. We were aboard that train
ana know of the canvass being taken
on one car. It stood A fol Cleve-
land, Z for Blame AID for Butler.
The fresh young hotel runner who
made the canvass may perhaps adapt
his figures to the political complexion
of the paper he reports for.

Last Sunday afternoon while Miss
Minnie Webb of Butte was horse
back riding at Anaconda the saddle
turned and the lady was thrown with
great force to the ground. While the
jar sustained by Miss Webb was
severe the accident was not. at the
time, considered FERROUS or alarming,
but soon after reaching the house of
the friends whom she was visiting
she was taken with commissions
which lasted during the fore part OF
Sunaay::night. "A messenger was dis

Badly Beaten.

From a telegram received last
evening We learn that the second
game between the Butteites and Salt
Lakers was played yesterday and re-
suited in the paralyzing score of IA
to 6 In favor of the Lords chosen"
We are not the least bit surpri. ed at
the outcome of the game as bets we're
freely offered yesterday that the Salt
Lakers would win the day, the
reasons for making such wagers be-
ing that the Butteites were too chival-
rous to 60 to Salt Lake and beat that
niue three successive games on their
own dung~hill. The last game will
be played to-day and the Salt Lakers
will be "downed." Take our word
for 1t.

Slaugh.er OF tho 1nnocents

Last evening Mr.. Charles Richard
son, of the Mint, received a dispatch
from Klnna Arthur, stating the
Butte nine had won the day by a
score of II to 3, and adding that the
home nine could "do up" the Salt
Lakers every time. If the Salt
Lakers can't play ball any better
than the above score wonld seem to
indicate they had better confine their
games to the Provo or Springville
mines. We expect the dispatches
this and tomorrow evening will be
to the effect that the Butteites white
washed their opponents in every in-
ming. 1t was stated last evening that
odds were being offered in Salt Lake
that the Zion club would not win a
game.

Mr.. Toole's Mistake"

Our evening contemporary, the In
ter Mountain. has more than once
referred to Mr.. Toole's opposition
while q member of the constitutional
convention to the clause in the pro-
posed constitution Tor the state of
Montana, providing that mines shall
be EXEMPT from taxation. OF course
the object of the Inter Mountain is to
create a feeling in Butte and in
other purely mining localities antag-
onistic to MI. Toole. W. do not in
this article propose to enter into a
discussion Of the exemption clause
itself, but have merely mentioned
the matter in order to see how we all
stand upon this subject of taxing
mines.
By one of those unfathomable and
perhaps wise dispensati0ns of the
people of Silver Bow county, Judge
Knowles, MI. Toole's opponent for
the delegateship, was denied the
privilege of placing himself upon
record in the constitutional CONVEX
ton as in favor or against the ex-
emption. So we do not know how
MI. Knowles stands upon that ques-
ton and it makes little or no differ
ence whether the people know or not,
ior a delegate in Congress has shout
as much to do with determining the
application of the exeml ton clause
as has tbs king of the Sandwich Is
lands.
And then again we are yet to learn
That this exeml ton clause is a pollti-
cal question or a question that is d.
viding the people. There is of course
a variance of opinion concerning its
propriety. This fact is attested by
the opposition to it of the Helena
Herald and Avant Courier, both
Republican papers, and its advocacy
by the MINER, Inter Mountain and
New North West, one Democratic
and two Republican papers.
The nOn-partisan character of the
exemption clause is further shown
by the omission of the county con-
ventions of either party to adopt a
plank in their platforms endorsing or
rejecting the proposition. Such be-
ing the case the only effect of the
Inter Mountains harping upon what
It ia pleased to term "Mr. Toole's
mistake" will be to direct attention
to the attitude of its own candidate
upon TIE question. and if he be found
as u supporter of tie exemption
clause, to array the Republicans of
the "cow counties" agaist him. as it
hopes to array the mining element
of Silver Bow county against Mr..
Toole. The arguments of the Inter
Mountain against Mr.. Toole IN &C
count of his position upon the exemp-
ton clause in the Constitutional con-
vention is a sword that cuts both
ways. Our contemporary should lay
it aside. 1t is an unsafe weapon in
the hands of an unskilled swords
man.

DERA1LED,
A Terrible Accident Averted by
the Goodness of Engineer Else.

TlOlx NIL ~ ~
was a passenger on the train from
Ogden which arrived last evening
we learn the particulars of what
might have been a terrible accident,
and which was only prevented by
the presence of mind of Engineer
John Else, of No. 81. When about
three miles this side OF Camas, III
Idaho, with tho train running at the
Fate of twenty miles an hour, MIR.
Else noticed as soon as his engine
struck the defective rail something
was wrong and Immediately applied
the lever and reversed it. The first
class coach and sleeper, immediately
behind the baggage car, were COM
pletely overturned, doing considera-
BILE damage to the coach and COM
pletely wrecking the sleeper
Luckily 10 one was injured WIN
the exception of a lady who received
a slight scalp wound on the head
Mr.. Else stopped his train within
one length of rail, or about thirty
feet. The wrecked cars did not
move an inch after they overturned
and even the bell cord was not broken.
Master Mechanic Riordan, of the
Idaho division, and Assistant Gen
eral Master Mechanic Wilson. of the
U. P. system, were aboard the train
and are loud in their praises OF En
pineer Else's GOODNESS in stopping SO
quickly and. averting a bad accident.
The rail which caused the disaster
WAS found to have been broken in
Ave places. The wreck was
cleared away in a short time and the
train proceeded on it's way without
further incident
