The report that George Steel &Co.;
of Sun River, had failed was circulated
Monday forenoon, but nothing DENIM
in regard to the matter could be earned
for some time. Later it was ascersalned
that the store and other property OF the
firm had been attached by the Montana
National Bank of Helena for a large
amount of money, and is now in charge
of a deputy sheriff. The amount OF
liabilities or further particulars are not
at hand. A few of our merchants are
creditors to a limited extent-probably
six or seven thousand dollars i'll all.
The news was received here with re-
greet on every hand. MI. Steel IS 2
Of the old-time merchants of the terri
tory. and his reputation is that OF an
honorable, straightforward business man.
His associates, Messrs. Dyas and NUT
ray, are also well known, and their ms
fortune is equally to be regretted: me
depression Of business and the dIf11culty

The Fashion Theatre,

Like any other new establishment for
public use, just before the opening ofthe
same, is in considerable confusion. This
was the case with the new Fashion
theatre when visited by n representa-
tive ofthe LIGHI this morning. Numbers
of mechanics of different branches were
busy in their respective departments
putting on finishing touches. However,
guiding hands and eyes directing, every
thing worked like clock work, and this
evening the curtain will rise at the APP
pointed time to one of the best-appoint-
ed combinations of artists ever gathered
together in Texas. The scenic paint
ings are of as fine quality as ever were
seen In the State. The fine chandler
over the centre of the auditorium,
which measures some six feet in dame
ter, will give light sufficiently to put
the electric light in the shade. The
folding chairs, elsewhere spoken of, are
being put in position and makinga tout
ensemble" of the stage md audience
room with its respective galleries that is
"come il faut." In the front part the
counters for the bar, lunch and restaur-
ant service are perfect pieces of me-
chanlcal skill. The kitchen, located In
the basement, is lined with heavy sheet
iron, fine range with the latest inno-
vations in the of way flues, Is being put
up, and the downstairs store-room IL
already full of fine r.. Monarch and
other fine two-stamp brands of whisky
very fine wines and other cordials. The
grand opening will take place tonight
and good time can be expected by all
who attend.

GAMBRINUS BALL.
The First Annual Celebration a
Grand Success

The first annual ball given by the
Gambrinus verein Of san Antonio was
held at Arbeiter vereln hall last Saturday
night, about 80 couples in attendance.
Early in the evening the hall was bril-
liantly lighted. the floor placed In excel
lent condition, and the band, led by
Professor Paul Breckheimer. began to
tune up their instruments. Herr Fielder
and his good wife opened the ladies' and
gents cloak rooms, and were soon kept
busy receiving the wraps OF the arriving
guests. Soon the floor committee gave
the signal for the merry dance to pro-
coed, and all in attendance secured part
ners and the grand Gambrinus march
and waltz led Off Then followed the
programme of dances in which all alike,
old and young, present participated with
will.
At about ~ O'Clock the grand supper
march was announced, and was grace
fully led bv Mr.. VIM. Reuter- and Mrs. >.
Schorr. The bountiful repast spread by
mine host John Wolfram, was discussed
at length, and many were the praises
bestowed by all, with one accord, on
the excellence of the toothsome viands
served, and the polite and courteous at
tention of the large corps of walters.
Alter supper return was HlNue TO the
main hall and the festivities of the fore
part of the evening. 1t was not until
far toward the dawning of new day
that the merry dancers and devotees OF
the god Gambrinus, bethought them
selves that at some time all things must
have an ending, and betook themselves,
rather regretfuly than otherwise, to
their respective homes. having spent a
delightful evening. The memory of this,
the first grand annual ball of the San
Antonio Gambrinus Nerein, will long
live green in the memories of the par
Elephants.
The LIGHT must not fail to mention
the gentlemen, who, in their various
committees and offices, contributed SC
materially toward the success OF the
ball.

A startled Soldier.

The members of the military
company here have been selecting
their guns from the new lot just
sent them by the Adjatant General.
It seems the guys were those that
we're used by the company at Cam
delaria which recently disbanded.
One of the Austinmen selected . fine
looking piece aud while examining
it found a small piece of paper in
the breech of it. He took it out and
read these words: "This is the gun
that killed Jennie Mcdonald"
Jennie was found dead in bed enc
morning in Candelaria with bull
let hole in her head. Full ct
alarm the soldier rushed up to Cap
tain Newell and wanted to change
he weapon for another gun. but on
being reminded that soldiers were
not in the habit of discarding guns
because they killed people, de-
cided to keep it, and is now its
custodian.-Austin Reveille.

An Americ3nfsm.

The following anecdote Of Harry
Mighels is told by the New York
Tiu.es:
"Apropos of Sir Lepel Griffin'a
bilious attacks on the great repub.
lie, an old Californian. q well
known club man now, told me a
good story Of Sir Charles Dixie.
whose book, Greater Britain. !"
was written to show that the Eng
lish-speaking countries, outside OF
Great Britain, were bound to rule
the world. When Dixie was in
Nevada. then in the heydey of its
lusty youth. he was somewhat dis
appointed that he met none of the
rough and rude manners which all
tourists had taught him to expect
to find there. Harry Mighels, ed
itor Of Carson APPEAL, q college
man, wit and bon uirant, but a joker
withal, was wiling to see the stran-
ger gratified. So. one day, at the
hotel dinner.table, Mighels, who
had slight acquaintance with Mr..
Dixie. said, in his choicest atfecta-
tioa of the true nasal tone of the
true American. Mr.. Dixie. do you
know Thomas I. Carlyle?" Mr..
Dixie acknowledged thst he had a
speaking acquaintance with the
great man, whereupon his interloc-
utor said, with warmth, 'Wal he
kin sling ink. he KIM" Mighels
afterwards told Brete Harte how he
had sold the English maker OF
notebooks whereupon Harte said:
"You think you have done q very
clever thing. Harry, but that will
appear eventually as genuine
Ame-icanism.' Sure enough, the
incident was printed subsequently
in Dilke's book, where the cur
ious reader may find it to witness
the truth Of what may seem an I'M
probable yarn"

Dickson at Work.

The Nevada friends of q. S.
District Attorney Dickson, of Utah,
will be pleased to know that he has
taken a determined stand to enforce
the law against the Mormon po-
lygamists. On Tuesday he sue
ceeded in getting aGraDd Jury,
composed of fifteen Gentiles, Nor
mons being expunged because of a
belief in eplural marriage doctrine
the same as taught in the Mormon
Church. The Mormons claim the
jury is illegal, but its purging was
in conformatory with the terms of
the law. It is not known that any
polygamy cases will come before
the jurw, but the District Attorney
is determined to have none but
qualified persons on the jury.

in this respect.
