LOCAL BREvITIEs.
After the elections, less politics and more

After the elections, less politics and more
news.
No whisky is to be sold or given away
during election day. The law says 50, and
the law is good one.
| A party who ought to know says the Lula
Hurst business els tho worst kind of fraud.
And still, We give 1t up.
Never since little apples were made has
there been more glorious autumn weather
than has prevailed for the past msnth
throughout Montana.
1t il thought now the change Of q. s.. N
railroad time will not DO made until about
Dec. !, when the Express from the South
will arrive about nosn.
Mr.. Stuil, Of New Chicago, who received
an ugly wound in the face from q windlass
was brought to town a few days ago, and is
being treated BY DR.. owings.
Mr.. g. w. Crane, representing the Phoenix
Nurseries, Of Bloomington, Ills, made q de-
livery Of shrubbsry IN good condition this
week. Our people are trying fall planting as
an experiment.
The silly report published in the Miner that
any candidate on the Republican ticket, or
the friends Of any candidate, is willing to
trade off Knowles for votes for county
oficer, does not need contradiction. There
is not q man on the ticket but would with
draw rather than to permit such thing to be
done In even single instance.
DR.. Glass, physician at the snitentiary,
informs us that two Indians confined there,
we presume Of the Anderson ranch party
are nearly dead with consumption. One Of
the number died last week. These are Uni
ted States prisoners. We are not very we'll
advised as to the circumstances for which
they were imprisoned, but We call the atten-
ten Of District Attorney Dewitt to the mat
ter, and inquire II 1t is not case worthy Of
Presidential clemency.
Rev. Joseph Cook, much to the regret Of
our people and Of the committee who en-
gagged him, telegraphed he could not come to
Deer Lodge to deliver his lecture OF Saturday
night last, as had been agreed in writing
with his agent. The committee, in view Of
the Eytinge Company's appearance here,
could net substitute Wednesday evening Of
this week, and SO we missed the lecture. 1t
Is very much regretted that the agent misin-
formed the reverend lecturer a. to the night.
The bter-Aountdin states that owing to
Mr.. AcMaster, whe has been in charge Of
Haggin s. Tevis' vast Black Hills mining
interests, being compelled to resign on &C.
count Of Ill health, Mr.. VIM. McCasksl has
resigned the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the Ana
conda Smelling Works, and will take Mr..
ArA nal Il. a.
eral Superintendent Of all the Company's
works In Montana, but Mr.. Chenhall, = very
competent and experienced man, will have
immediate charge Of tho Smeltsr at Ana
conda.
There has been recently a throat disease
in Butte which has BEEN fatal to
children in q number Of instances. 1t was
called diphtheria The Board Of Health,
Of three physicians, examined IS
cases, and report that only one Of them was
diphtheria. Notwithstanding this DR.. Nor
cross is treating four children and their
mother for diphthsria, and they are reported
10 be convalsscing. There is quite wordy
newspaper controversy As to whether it is
tiphtheria or tonsilitis, but We have not seen
Any statement but that the treatment for
iiphtheria covers the treatment fer tonsili-
tic and the suggestion Of . correspondent Of
the Miner, that ''it is better for parents to
have their children afflicted with throat dis
sase treated for diphtheria and live, rather
han have them treated for tousiiitis and die"
seems An emiaently wise one Much alarm
prevails among parents in Butte,
and q number have removed with their chill
iren during the prevalence of the disease.
We trust the ravagss ofthe dread malady-by
name it may be called-will cease.
