The Speakership.

The Dillon Tribune, in its last is
sue, has the following to say in re-
gard to the Speakership of the House:
1T having been reported that Col.
Galloway of Madison county, would
prefer to be on the floor of the House
at the coming session of the legisla.
tive assembly. a number of promi-
nent Republicans are in favor of
Hon. w. O.. Sreer, of Butte, for
Speaker of the House. Mr.. Speer
would make an excellent Speaker,
but We lear the rule no West Side
man need apply will be adopted re-
garding the Speak ership" The
Tribune may know whereof it speaks,
but we confess cur inability to see
why "West S;de'' man should be-
ruled cut of the race for the Speaker
ship. Since Col. Galloway desires
to be upon the floor, unfettered by
the embarrassment and cares Ct the
chair, and since Mr.. Speer is an
avowed candidate for the posi-
tion, and is in every respect
qualified to fill it and honor it,
the simple fact that he halls from the
west side and from the wealthiest
and most populous county in the
Territory should not be a bar to his
election. OF course it is none of our
funeral, but we have a common in
terest with all in the election of
man to the speakership who possesses
the ability to run the machinery of
the house without jar and thus ex-
pedite its business. Mr.. Speer can
do this, and if Republican is to be
elected, and it now looks very much
as though one would be, the MINER
votes AYE" for the young Repub-
lican "War horse" OF Silver Bow
County.

Condition of 5 ock In Wyoming.

CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Dec. o.
Severe and prOtIacted storms have
prevailed in northern, north western
and the remote portions of Wyoming
within the past two weeks. The
southern ranges have experienced
spells of severe weather, with the
thermometer 10 and 2 degrees below
zero, but the snowfall was compare
lively slight, and no damage has
b4en done to stock. About Fort
Laramine, in the northeast part of
the Territory, and Fort Mckinney,
iu the northwest part, the weather
for nearly two weeks has been very
severe, the snow in some places was
IS inches on The level, making it I'M
possit l. for the cattle to reach grass.
Hence in those quarters where the
snow drited badl ! it was impossible
from a lack Of communication to get
a report of the extent of the damage
done. So far but few reports of dead
cattle have been received from the
various quarters, but none to cause
alarm. The stOckmen here say that
everything is satisfactory so far as to
wea her. 1t has now moderated
throughout the Territory, and the
snow is rapidly melting under a
warm sun. There is 10 real snow
block a;;e along the Union Pacific IN
w, oming; trains are now running,
they have never arrived here later
than five hours this season.

The Amphitheatre.

There is probably no city in the
West that can turn out larger crowds
and more of them at the same time
than Butte. A glance last evening

crowd as far as numbers were con-
cerned. The immense rink present.

circle of human beings, while the
family circle and side seats were full
of delighted spectators. "Where DO
all the people come from ?" inquired

our answer. But they are here, and
they are out, not one night in the
week, but every night in the year.
And the Amphitheatre, with its
splendid floor, attractive appoint
ments and delicious music, catches
and holds its share of the fun-loving
and pleasure-seeking crowds.

Obituary.

Mr.. John Hauswirth, one of Butte's
most enterprising and respected citi-
zens, departed this life yesterday
morning at o'clock, after an illness
Of two days. The immediate cause
of his death was congestion of the
brain, superinduced by exposure in a
recent prospecting tour on the Big
Hole river.
Mr. Hauswirth was born in Saanen,
Canton Berne, Switzerland, Decem-
Der 23th, 1929, and had be lived until
to-day he would have been just 50
years Of age. After passing through
the studies taught in the common
schools, he entered the military SER
vice of his country, and by bravery
and meritorioUs conduct was raised
from the ranks to first l!eutenancy:
during the Sonder5ond war in lS4o.
Being of an energetic, adventurous
spirit, he emigrated TO America IN
1855, with his family, and settled IN
Wisconsin,, where he engaged IN
mercantile pursuits. In 1864 he came
to Alder Gulch, where he engaged in
mining and prospecting. Believing
that Montana had great future b.
fore it, he went back TO Wisconsin IN
1868 for his family, which he brought
to Deer Lodge valley the following
wear. He resided there until 1879.
when he removed to Butte, where he
has since resided.
During his residence in this city
Mr. Hauswirth has been distinguished
for bis public spirit and his
willingness to lend his aid In any
enterprise tending to advance the
interests of Butte. He was perseve-
ring ,rospector and discovered the
famous Anselmo mine as we'll as a
dozen others of promising appear
ance, The deceased leaves wife
and six children a sister and two
brothers, one of whom, Simon, is our
CITY marshal, to mourn his untlmely
death. The MINER joins his large
circle of friends in rendering It's
heartfelt sympathy for the bereaved
family and sorrowing relatives IN
their irreparabie loss. The funera,
will take place from Caplice hall at l
o'clock o. Ill. to-day. Friends anu
acouaintances of the family are IN
vited to attend.
