QuANDARY.
George Todd has . Problem to Solve.

The other day Mr.. George Todd,
who by the way is dispensing some
admirable wet goods on East Park
street, towards the rising sun, felt
unwell; George frequently feels un-
well, but on this particular occasion
he felt SO badly that he concluded he
wanted some medicine. So consul =
ing q patent medicine almanac, the
principal book in his extensive
library, he saw q nostrum advertised
which is warranted to cure all the ills
which flesh is heir to from q club foot
to a equint eye. Todd's comprehen-
sive niind grasped the true mission of
that medicine at once and felt
assured it would hit his case some
where, If it did MT make q centre
shot. Taking the proceeds of the last
weeks sales in his business he bought
9 bottle Of this Compound Elixir Of
Life and Health Restorer. Arriving
home he hunted no the directions.
There they were plainly printed upon
the wrapper: adults, l tablespoon
full three times q dav after meals."
George was struck with amusement.
He was COMPOUNDED and dumfounded.
What would he do? Here he bad
.~quandered q whole weeks receipts of
his business, and he couldn't take the
medicine, because the state of his
finances didn't permit him to eat but
n meal . day. The last we saw of
Todd he was huntinga German to
translate the directions printed in that
language in hopes they would explain
how q man who ate but one meal q
day could take a medicine, three
times . day after meals" This is
The problem which is now unsettling
the reason of Todd.

and VIM. White, alias VIM. Pitts,
charged with having dubbed Josiah
O'Harris TO death with . wagon spoke
on the night of the fifth. The mob
told the officers to keep perfectly
quiet and there would he no fuss
They then marched Pitts to the out
skirts of the town, put a rope around
his neck, threw the other end over
the crossarm of a telegraph pole and
hoisted him up. He was dead in q
few minutes.
Pitts was a deserter from the United
States Army, having enlisted under
the name of VIM. II. White In the
Second Cavalry Co F., stationed
first at Ellis, Montana. Farthing
was told to leave the country.
LATER. - The particulars of the
lynching affair are to the effect that
sixty mounted men went to the jail
at 2 O'Clock this evening and called
sheriff Anderson and demanded that
he deliver Stevens to them. This he
refused to do, and told the crowd
that he would fight to the last in de-
tense of his prisoner A COMMITTEES
of three wele then sent to consult
with the Sheriff, but his reply WIS
the same as before. The moo then
made a rush f,r the door of the jail,

Railroad Accident.

An accident which came near
proving as fatal as it was frightful
befel the east bound Northern Pacific
express last Friday. 1t appears that
at Jncko, for y miles west of MlssOula,
while the train was passing here on
time, II o'clock at night, II struck an
open switch that derailed the sender
of the engine, the regular baggage car
of the Northern Pacific Expr. 81 Co..
and the Postal Car, and the emigrant
car and the front trucks of the first
passenger Cal. The postal and
Luggage cars turned owe twice and
brought up a hundred feet from the
track. The stove in the postal car
upset, and the car being piled full of
sacks of mail which, falling against
the stove caught fire, destroying
several sacks of papers and a reg
istered pouch.
The postal CLERK, I. II. Swasey, de-
serves great credit for rescuing the
mail, he entering the burning q
twice ut great hazard.
Beckwlth, . Northern Pacific
agent. had q narrow escape from bic
safe, which,, when the car turned
over, came near crushing him to
death. The engineer said that in
his twelve years experience In rail-
reading he never saw SO great an
accident without los of life or fatal
injury. BY the fortunate circum-
stance of IN operator being on board
of the train with an instrument, and
making connection he was able to
convey orders for q wrecking train,
which soon came and cleared the
track. IT is said that frequently of
late Indians or other evil disposed
persons have placed rocks and other
0t,srru :tions on the track, and that
this accident is attributable to some
party having. meddled with the
switch,

Pavilion.

The first appearance In this city
Of Miss Annie Sylvester, the daring
and accomplished bicyclienne, drew
out an immense cOncOurse of people
at the Pavilion last evening. Miss
Sylvester has the honor of being the
6rst lady who has ever appeared
upon q bicycle before the Butte put
lie, and that she demonstrated the
possibilities of her eek in the manage
ment of the glitteriDg wheel those
who witnessed her skill and daring
last evening will testify. Miss 8, Ives
ter is still quite young, being in her
twenty first year. She has been be-
fore the public al q bicyelienne dur
ing the past two years and has receiv
ed quite as favorable notices and COM
meDts from the press of the country
~ have been bestowed upon artists of
other professions. In the, drawing
room the young lady attracts one by
her gentle, modest almost timid yet
pleasing manners and by her engag-
ing conversational powers. On the
rink she captlvates all by her super
ior figure, beautiful features, modest
demeanOr, and skillful aud daring
performances. The latter is almost
impossible to dt scribe. She seems to
US the most at home in feats which
require nerve. presence OF mind,
strength, and lightning movements
perform. One of her most difficult
ones is in mounting her bicycle
placed upon two chairs and perform
ing balancing feats thereon. Miss
Sylvester is the embodiment of grace
and when moving about on her gilt
teripg chariot fully illustrates the
poetry of motion. Lovers of grace
full and ski!lful bicycle riding should
not fail to see Miss sylvester tonight
in an entire change of performance.

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Hoar ia
vored the appointment of q commit.
tee of inquiry with power to inquire
into each particular al of injustice
OF the part Of the railroads and to
compe companies to furnish the data
necessary TO investigate each trans
action. Reagan's substitute, Hoar
asserted, Disseminated in favor of
roads in certain states and against
those which necessarily went through
several states. II would strike down
al cheap rates for the west and south
q nd cheap transportation fer -four
and wheat from Iowa and Mlnneso-
Ia would be q thing of the past. 1t
would put dear bread into the mouths
of the working men in the east in
stead of cheap bread. He had no
sympathy with that class of men who
simply inveighed against railroad
companies, because they were corpor-
ations. It W 8 q cheap kind Of bust
ness tor men to 20 about crying
''monpoly." The great wealth Of
Gould and Vanderbilt had not been
taken from the pockets of the laborine
men. Roads they built, they paid
for. They had made money by buy
ing poorly managed roads and putting
brains into them and making them
profitable. Their gain was legitimate;
they made money in another way,
not from the laboring men, but from
men who went into Wall Street and
who thought they were smarter than
those old fellows.
If it could be proven to him that
the railroads were becoming prosper
Gus by extortinate charges, b. would
go as far as any man to correct the
evil. Adjourned.
