Hank Walton and wife and Major
Owsley, of Butte, have been visiting
in Deer Lodge this week. Hank was
too modest to acknowledge that he
would be the next sheriff of Silver
Bow county. He purchased some
! nice horses over here anyway.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Odell, of
Butte, have been visiting in Deer
Lodge this week. Mrs. Odell is q
sister to Mrs. J. H. Farnsworth, of
this place, with whom she was
visiting.
E. L. Bonner and family, who
have been.swinging around the circle
from Portland, Oregon, Ito st. Paul,
arrived home this week. Tbe family
will remain with US, but T.. L. is off
again on a trip.
Conrad Kohrs is solicited by his
many friends to run for County
Commissioner. "Con" says he could
find time to attend to the duties of
the office if the people desired him to
serve them. Politically he is indif-
ferent, always voting for the best
men for local offices. In national
politics, he usually has q choice, but
this time it Is not for "Blaine of
Maine." He is a good citizen,
heavy taxpayer, an excellent busi>
ness man and would make a wise old
county dad" land don't you for
get It,"
The irrepressible Girard, merchant
of Warm Springs, was in Deer Lodge
to-day ana bought all the strawber-
rles and cucumbers in town. He
took home with him three ounces of
quinlne and a goodly supply of "epi-
cac," as an antidote for his purchase.
DR.. Mitchell made a flying trip to
Butte this week.
Mrs. Charlie Bei]enberg, I am sorry
to say, is in very delicate health, and
Charlie contemplates trying some
other cline in the hopes that she
may improve. Her recent trip east
did her no good.

bors and everything promises well.
About $500 have been secured, and
more will be had before the finance
committees get through. The rail-
road companies have signified a will
ingness to give excursion rates over
their roads, and we can reasonably
expect an immense gathering here
on the "glorious 4th." The races
will be the chief feature of the occa-
sion, and horsemen from all parts of
the territory will be in attendance.
SOLDIERS.
Seven companies Of soldiers, to-
gether with q large supply train,
passed through Deer Lodge this
morning, en- route to Walla Walla.
They were from Forts Custer and
Kecgh. They made our usually qniet
little city look lively for awhile. Gen.
Hatch was in command. One lady
was along, and the boys in blue said
it v as good to even look at her once
in awhile, when isolated from the
civilized world.
DIPHTHERIA.
We had hoped that this dreadful
scourge had run its course in Deer
Lodge, but it yet Turks in our midst.
I am glad, however, to state that 1t
is confined to one household, that of
Mr.. A. Anderson. Two of the family,
one a boy aged one year and nine
months, the other a boy aged nine
years and eleven months, died this
week, and a little girl about five years
old is now lying at the point of death.
Before this is put in type she, too.
will have evidently ''passed the por>
tals'' to mingle with those on the
other side. The fond parents, of
course, are greatly distressed. and the
citizens of Deer Lodge, appreciating
their condition, have rendered every
aid within their power to make them
as comfortable ss possible. This be
ing the only case In town, let us hope
it will be the last.
PERSONAL.
"Sour" Baldwin, of Helena, was
over this week and spent few days
It will be remembered that A. j.
Davidson, his partner, was over only
q short time ago and sought to
"fank" the Beilenbergs on a stock
trade. 1t is supposed that the first
named hona6re also had evil designs
on our people, and as q consequence
not even q glass of lager was swal-
lowed while he was in town. The
citizens of Deer Lodge are proverbial
for their temperance qualities, and if
"Bald" Imagines he can come over
here and get us all drunk and then
20 through the town, he can't win. !"
We never drink when outsiders are
around-of course not. Anyway he
met lots of friends here, and Van
Gundy has been compelled to double
his brewing capacity in consequence
of his visit.
Judge Galbraith returned this week
from Missoula, where he had been
holding q term of court. He looks
much improved, having recovered
from the terrible strain under which
he went during the recent serious
illness in his good family.
Hon. J. @. Robinson also returned

Some Matters Which We
Hope Will Interest
the Ladies.
Innumerable Nondescript Ar
ticles that are Tran
scendant.
The First Attribute to Captl-
vate the Feminine Eye.
Beauty OF Style.
Beauty OF Style.

For some time past our ADVERTISE
ments have been mainly directed in
the Interests of White Hall; or to be
more definite, in the interests of our
special sale of mems odd cashmere
pants and vests. This sale is now
practically at an end for the goods
which it embraced have nearly all
been sold and for which reason we
will not refer to it again, though it
will pay buyers to bear in mind that
we have q few left which can still
be bought at the special sale price,
viz: $500 to $500 pants for $3.50;
$4.0O to Sc. 90 pants for s. so and $500
to $500 vests for $3.50.
To-day, then, and for some days to
come, we hope to present some
matters that will interest the ladies,
for in dry goods, suits and wraps,
carpets and house furnishing goods
and the innumerable nondescript
articles that legitimately belong to
the sphere of lady's purchases, our
stock was never 80
TRANSCENDANT
IN respect to variety, elegance and
cheapness of prices as now. Beauty
of style, no matter what the article
may be, is the first attribute to capti-
vate the feminine eye, and this is as
it should be for 1t is in keeping with
that refinement and culture so
characteristic of the sex.
BEAUTY
of style almost always of necessity
includes goodness of quality and the
combination is therefore to be de-
sired and it is one to which we al
ways give especial attention as is
evidenced by our stock. In staple
dry goods we are offering some bar
gains at this time that will repay an
examination and comparison and
among which are towels. reduced
from 81 so to IS cents per dozen; the
best $500 white counterpane that
we've ever sold and a line of table
linens considerably under market
value.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

| Correspondence of the Miner.
DEER LODGE, June IA, 'S4.
Editor Daily Miner:
This is getting to be a regular
"web-foot" country in point of rain,
the "oldest inhabitant" never seeing
so much fall IN any preceding spring.
OF course nobody kicks, for it is the
life Of of the country.
COLLEGE OF MONTANA.
The first annual entertainment of
the College Of Montana took place
last Thursday evening at the Pres
byterian church of this city. It was
largely attended and everybody
seemed deeply interested in the pro-
caedings. This Institution is gain
ing in favor, the building having
already proved inadequate to meet
the demands made upon it. Presi-
dent Mcmillan has about completed
arrangements to have a large three
story addition attached to the main
structure. This done, Deer Lodge
can boast of the finest college build
ing in the Territory. It is possible
that the addition will be erected in
time for the commencement of the
second term the first of September.
Following is the programme of exer-
cises carried out at the close of the
first years term, Thursday evening.
I give it for the reason that the
pupils hail from all parts of the
Territory, and viii, naturally enough,
expect to see it IN the columns of the
MINER. Where all did so well, l
might do an injustice by particular
izing, hence will give the programme
as it occurred:

LONDON, Aug ia dispatch from Shang-
hal SAYS the Chinese diplomat, Ii Hung Chang,
is to be impeached for transferring the
China merchant feet to an American firm.
The price paid for the feet was
nearly s7,300,OO0 1t is claimed that, in
making the sale, Ii Hung Chang was actu-

the feet weakened the resources of the gov

the disposing of the merchant feet in a meas
