the st. Louis DLspaict suggests that

They neither gamble in stocks, smoke,

| surface of the Missouri some time to-day
under the captaincy of Joe Clark This
no doubt will be a great curiosity to
many of our citizens, SO they must look
out for the first run of the n~eW-fangled
boat to-day.
From Pat Hughes it is learned that
matters in the Montana district are
looking remarkably well, quite a num-
Der of men being at work there. Ore is
being shipped from the Massachusetts,
it is reported that some Of the interests
in the camp have been disposed of to
Butte parties-to whom our reporter
could not learn.
Ben Hogan draws nightly a crowd of
800 at Ming's opera house in Helena
with, his temperance exhortations. The
muscular orator is assisted in his work
by the clergy of Helena and a large
choir of singers. Ben's pointed remarks
are relished by the boys around town,
as when the contents of the hat were
poured cut on the floor of the stage he
asked a sport in the audience if he did
not want a little game of draw.
We learn from a gentleman just in
from Barker that the miners, ONE II
in number. are holding the upper tun-
mel in the Silver Belle mine for the
smelling company. The jumpers have
possession of ihe lower tunnel and in
doing some prospecting have found an
other large cave of fine ore. They tried
to run a little game of bluff. and scare
the miners out of their stronghold a few
days ago, but it did not work worth a
cent. The miners are going to :" hold
the fort at all hazards.
Manager Cowles, of the Concord Cat

states in the spring, and intends to ship
a large consignment Of prime beeves to
the eastern markets in June. He esti-
mates this years Montana shipments
at $4,000 head against the $4,000 of last
year.

The Travesty.

The travesty of Romeo and Juliet as
presented by the travesty company last
Wednesday met with deserved success.
Nothing need be said regarding Mr..
Hills Romeo. as that gentleman fairly
outdid himself. The Tybalt of Mr..
Fiske was exceptionally good. The
Mercutio of Mr.. Griffith was up to his
old standard Of excellence. Modesty
compels our reporter to refrain from
commencing MI. Keeler's Friar Lau-
rence-he did his best. Juliet was as
pretty as a peach, and Mr.. Schroeder is
to be complimented on his first appear
ance before a Benton audience.
Every one who has seen the travesty
before knows what Chef Fowler can do,
and would be able to fully appreciate
the great hit he made last evening.
Mr.. Todd, as Lord Capulet, was excel
lent. and as this is the first appearance
of Mr.. IL. before a Benton audience his
success is assured. Mr.. Spencer-Oh ,
no, Charlie is always good, and has inn
proved since last spring, and unlike old
wine, does not need bushing.
The chorus was exceptionally fine,
and special mention should be made of
Messrs. Gauvreau, Overfield and Luke.
MI. Gauvreau has never appeared be-
fore, and his entrance as apothecary's
apprentice met with deserved applause.
Mr.. Luke gave "Rhubarb and Tar''
|Iwith fine effect. Mr. Rassman was pre-
lIsented with a fine bouquet by his many
|ladmirers. Masters Meloche and Kelly
did their parts to the satisfaction of
every one.
/ The receipts were in the neighborhood
Of 1925, which will about cover expenses.
As the boys did not go into the affair to
make money they are to be congratu-
lated upon having had a larger house

has heretofore performed in this city.

were appended three, rich and valuables
chains. Patsey was soon outside Of a

Of Livingston, proceeded to "whoop it

his hotel and was soon fast asleep. Soon
after, he awOke and instantly called for
rum. BY this unusual noise the clerk
was guided to the scene and told Patsev
to "shut up or he would throw him out
of the window" or words to this effect.
Patsey only yelled the louder and as the
clerk approached he brought forth a
large-sized navy revolver and placed it
against the clerks breast. Whereupon

butt of the revolver. Assistance was
called and the police soon conveyed the
Livingston gentleman to the palatial
prison on the creek shore. Next morn
ing frowning judge levied SIS and costs
on the unfortunate man, which necessi-
tated the yielding up of one of the afore-
said watches. Patsey at once took the
departing west-bound train to swell the
delectable gang now rushing into the
Ceur d'Alenes. As he stepped into the
train, lady, who evidently had seen
better days, was gracefully assisted from
the train by the uniformed gentleman in
charge of the cars. She at once proceed
