TEE UNION PACIFIC.
Generous Offer for the Shlpms MT
OF Exposition Ore.

The Union Pacific company, fully
alive to the Importance of the Butte
and other mining districts on the
line of the narrow gauge, and with a
most commendable desire to en-
courage the Development of Mon
tana's vast and varied mineral re-
sources has decided upon most lib
eral course with reference to the
transportation of West Side ore In
tended for the New Orleans Exposi-
ton, as will be seen by the following
dispatch received last night:
RED Rock, Mont, Oct. II.
j. b. Reed, Butte: We are willing
to make free rate on not to exceed
three cars of mineral specimens from
any point on our lines in the Terri
tory of Montana to Council Bluffs for
the National Exposition at New
Orleans. P. P. SHELBY.
The important question of trans
portation having thus been settled,
it is hoped that our mining and
smelling men will lose no time in
sending large and representative COL
lections of their ores and MATES. It
is the desire of Messrs. w. A. Clark
and General Harris, the commls-
sioners, to have large specimens Of
ore and matte from all the mines rep
resented. The mining men can af-
ford to be generous in this matter
and should begin sending down
their samples to morrow to the store
room in the alley back of James
Shields & Co.'S. where they will be
boxed. The Lexington, Moulton and
Colusa will send down ore on Mon
day. The Mountain View and Lex
ington and Maria mines have al
ready made generous response.
During the next three days it is
hoped the bulk of the Butte exhibit
will be ready for shipment to the
depot. There should be no time lost.

Mormon church, held in Salt Lake
Lake, it was voted to give the Ma

tenth of the church fittings to be
used in aiding the election of Cleve-

for this contribution the Mormon

A HlRh-Kicking Episode.

J. D. Russell meandered into Mad
anne Provo's beer cellar early yester-
day morning and being in a hilar-
ious mood, bantered one of the sirens
to high-kicking match. The kick
ing went on for some time, when the
girl kicked Russell in the face. He
became quite wrathy at this and
threw the girl to the floor. When he
did this number of men who were
standing by took a hand in the fun
and proceeded to u op the floor with
him. When extricsted from the
crowd by an officer, J. d. looked as
if he had been having a few rounds
with rock-breaker and had come
out second best. Yesterday he ap-
peared before Judge Wilcox, who
fined him $500 and costs, in default
of which he languisheth in Jail. One
of his assailants paid a fine of S.. 90
and trimmings and went on his way
rejoicing.

osition the truth of which can be
arrived at without a slate and pencil.
We haven't the only stock of wraps
in town but there are several more
and some of which you will do well
to avoid for they are in the hands of
men who are handling them
ON COMMISSION
and who will probably have to pay
the owners more for each and every
wrap that they may succeed in SELL
ing than you would have to pay any
reputable and cash-buyir 6 house for
that which would give you much
better satisfaction. Goods of such q
character as wraps that are placed
with men to be sold on commission
are usually slightly, but inferior, for
If they possessed an honest value they
would seek more legitimate chan
mel of trade. These commission men
are generally very plausible takers
and as tricky as circus mules. And
they value their services high which
those who deal with them must pay
for the owners of the goods don't
dance to that music. The dancers
must pay the fiddler.
