with the already famous Drum Lummon

An Honest Man in Butte.
Miner

A young man by the name OF FL. Wine
berg, clerk in the store OF Morris Bros,
on Main street, found purse in or near the
store, the other day, containing $17O in
money and check for $3.50. 1t was lost
by a Chinaman and when he. returned to
the store in liquid tears condition, and
the money was given to him. his joy was
unbounded. OF course young Wlneburg
did no more than what was right in re-
turning the money to the Chinaman, but
how many are there in this wild, free and
unfettered West who would have remem-
bered he had found purse when heather
was looking for it?

Report Ofthe Executive Committee of
the Coffee and Reading Room.

/ NepOTt tnc VI
the Coffee and Reading Room.
This room was rented On the 9th and
opened on the 18th of February. There
was expended in furnishing and main
tanning the room, up to March 1st,
S324.96 OF this amount $50 was drawn
from the treasury of the w. c. T. u; SIS
in monthly pledges was contributed by
the ladies of Helena, and the balance was
fund created for the establishment of a
Coffee and Reading Room, $125 of this last
amount having been solicited and collected
by Miss Morgan among the business men
of Helena
The receipts from lunch department
have been small; during eighteen days
amounting to $459O. Deducting cost of
provisions and other expenses, $27 so,
leaves balance of $19.4O, which allows
Mr.. and Mrs. Haycock but little more
than SlOO per day for hours of unremit-
ting toll.
We feel that in Mr. and Mrs. Haycock
the ladies have secured valuable assistants
in the work and hope we may be able to
retain their services.
But the magnitude and importance of
this work can be better estimated than by
counting the dollars and cents. We must
look at the needy ones who have been gra-
tuitOusly fed at the reclaimed ones,
whose steps are yet new to the better way,
who have been encouraged and strength
ened, removed from temptation, and in
many instances provided with work.
A committee on literature has been ap-
pointed of which Mrs. r. b. TObey is
chairman. The books and papers donated
to the room have been carefully arranged
and filed, and everything in this depart
ment is in the best of order.
Ladies have been in attendance at the
coffee room each evening, whose duty it
has been to speak word in season to those
who were seeking to lead better life, and
their aim has been to make each one with
whom they might converse feel that the
Christian people of Helena were interested
in his welfare.
A committee on music has also been ap-
pointed, who haze furnished music for the
evening entertainment as well as for the
Sabbath services.
A Bible reading or other religious ser
vice has been held at the room each Sab
bath afternoon, which have been well at
tended, and in which great interest has
been manifested.
The work is thus well begun, but it
grows upon us in every department. Ad-
ditional funds are needed, and it is hoped
the good people of the city will keep our
needs in mind and bestOw upon us OF their
abundance.

Railroad Accident at Miles City.
journal, 9TH

A man was run over by an engine last
night about midnight. The accident took
place on the side track, about 16O yards
west of the depot in this city. The name
of the unfortunate man could not be ascer-
tanned, but he was dressed as soldier and
it is supposed belonged at Fort keogh.
The body was found lying under the en-
gine and had evidently been dragged some
distance by it. The man was mutllated q
almost beyond description. The legs and
arms were broken and cut in many places
and the body was bruised and crushed
most terribly. The corpse was given INTO
the hands of Mr. Ruthier, the undertaken.

attests the earnest purpose of our people

that surveyors will be in the field at an
early day in April. Should Mr.. Hill, pre-
sident of the Manitoba road, who Is ex-
pected here shortly, take hand in the
road, it will be pushed forward to the
northern coal fields near the Great Falls

A social party at Maiden recently drew
from their pastoral homes and herds
goodly number of festive cowboys and
shepherd lads. Following the dance
snow set in and all were storm-bOund.
The Mineral Argus says the boys made the
best of it and whiled away the nours by
an impromptu concert. Among the mu-
sical stars are mentioned Mcfarland and
Hilger, the former singing, From
Greenlands Icy Mountains to Judith's
Dolby Strand" and other popular border
airs. Hilger did not do so well, but did as
well as he could. He was suffering from
an acute attack of spinal cOme-and -get-us,
superinduced by exposure, while camping
on sheep-shed during the prevalence of
high water on Dog creek.

Bulwer and His Lady of Lyons

1t Is a curious fact that large majority
of literary men invariably seem anxious at
some period or other of their career to test
by the medium Of anonymous publication
the value Of public opinion with regard to
their own work. " 1t is not perhaps gene
rally known writes a correspondent, that
The Lady of Lyons was brought out quite
anonymously, and that on the night Of its
Bulwer Lytton himself, no one in London
had been allowed to know the secret of the
authorship Of the play. Between the acts
Dickens, who had been one of a delighted
audience, went behind the scenes to talk
over the play with Nacready and BuIwer,
congratulating Macready on his wonderful
| impersonation of Claude Melnotte Dickens
was in raptures with the whole thing, and
asked Bulwer what he thought oft Bulwer
affected to find some fault with the plot.
and suggested improvements here and there
in the various situations. Come now said
Dickens, it is not like you, Bulwer, to cayil
at such small things as those. The man
who wrote the play may have initiated
your work here and there, perhaps, but he
is a deuced clever fellow for all that. To
hear you speak 50 unfairly IS almost
enough to make one think that you are
jealous" The papers the next morning
lauded the play to the skies, even going SO
| far as to suggest that it would be well for
Mr.. Bulwer to take pattern by this unknown
writer and try to improve himself in those
particular points in which the anonymous
author Of " The Lady of Lyons had been
so brilliantly successful. About fortnight
later Bulwer's authorship of the play was
made known, to the mingled CONSERVATION
and amusement of the critics and the gene

DemoraIIred salt Works. etc.

D. b, Lyman, Superintendent of the
Sierra Nevada and Utah Mines has Just
returned from a trip of inspection to the
Eagle Salt Works, out on the line of the
Central Pacific, toward White Plains.
The Eagle Salt Works are now owned by
the Bonanza firm. Mr. Lyman says it has
been Il bad season for making salt. Before
the heavy rains there was in the evapo-
rating reservoirs 3 stratum of coed salt,
amounting to several hundred tons The
rains deposited upon this stratum Of
sand, and upon this was deposited another
stratum of salt, and so on--a stratum of
sand marking the wet and stratum Of salt
the dry weather. 1t is very pretty STRAIT
ification, but the trouble is that the salt
cannot be separated from the sand without
re-dissolving the former. Mr. Lyman re-
ports the White Plains artesian well down
over :, 100 feet, with hard rock at the bot
tom. He brought in some curiosities in
the shape of goodies, picked up out on the
desert One Of thee, about the size of q
black walnut, is perfect imitation of 4

Preserving Milk by Chemicals.

respondent ii appears that in hot weather
milk venders, or at least some Of them,

Of mixing these substances with the arti-

who consume the novel compound cannot
be prophesied with any safety except by
persons well acquainted with the laws Of
chemistry. According to the testimony
which we publish the result in certain in
stances has been to produce illness of
rather severe type. a little knowledge Of
chemistry among vendors of milk would
be dangerous thing for their customers if
this practice continues; and it is obviously
not to be endured that our milk supply
shonld be meddled with and its purity
destroyed by means Of chemical expert
ments conducted by perfect amateurs Out
OF sixteen analyses of milk made with the
purpose of discovering the cause Of the
illness described, only two samples were
found to be pure; one was adulterated by
the admi1ture of water, and no less than
thirteen had been subjected TO the expert
ments we have mentioned with boracic and
other acids. We have heard Of flour and
chalk being used as ingredients of cows
