| Harry Heimerdinger, formerly of Mile,
City, Billings and Livingston, and now
Of Helena, was married on the 10Th inst
to Miss Jennie Abshire of Gallatin City
An associate press dispatch this morn
ing says that the British garrison al
Alexandria is to be moved to Carlo
Egypt, at once, and an active campaign
begun.
1t is said that the cattle men of Miles
City and Billings are feeling blue over
! the late storm. Reports from the Mussel-
schell and Sun river country are still dis
couraging, and heavy loss in cattle and
sheep is expected.
Quite novelty in bicycling was seen
to-day in the appearance of two Of Boze-
mans cyclists, J. w. Besserer and VIM.
NJ. hewitt, who rode fearlessly up and
down Main street upon the snow. They
both acknowledged it was the most diff
cult work they had done this winter.
The Yellowstone river is behaving in
a peculiar manner for this time Of the
season. An ice gorge has formed below
Livingston, and the water has overfiowed
the low lands. Unless the present mild
weather effects the gorge the chances are
that portion of the railroad skirting the
river will be washed out.
st. Valentines day, when in early
times, the birds of the warmer climes,
where supposed to mate, and the affec-
tionate lovers exchanged loving, tender
sentiments, seems to be sadly demoraliz-
ed, if the highly-c~lored pictures, mis-
named valentines, where distributed else
where as profusely as in Bozeman.
We acknowledge very pleasant call
from Chas. F. Easton of Hillsdale, this
morning. Mr. Easton was at one time
employed as artist in a large publishing
house in Des Moines, Iowa, and to-day
showed IFS some very fine drawings of
the National Park scenery and incidents
of his trip to that place last summer.
A telegram to-day from Cincinnati
states that the Ohio river is three and a
half feet higher than ever before known.
Taken into consideration the fact that
last year the foundations at Cincinnati
were of an extremely damaging nature,
what must be the consequence of the
unprecedented high water of this year?
1t will be source of qualification to
those who did not attend the band ball,
last evening, to learn that the affair was
a social and financial success. The boys
deserve hearty recognition of their la
Dor and skill, and although this lisa pro-
life season of balls and entertainments,
We are pleased to see that theirs was
such browning success.

A letter from Phil Rountree manager ,
of Calfee's Wonderland Exhibition, says
that he will return to Bohemian at once
and actively re-engage in the real estate
business, for which he is peculiarly adj
apted. If we can Judge by the Pioneer
Press the exhibition has come to grief. AS
a bill poster of that town has sued the
company for a bill Of S48.25, and the
sheriff is in possession of their outfit.
As noted IN our local columns yester-
day, the Northern Pacific railroad will
pay its employees in checks,
payable to the order of the superintend-
ent or assistant superintendent Of the
division. The pay rolls will be forward
ed about the 18th of each month. The
will then 60 over his
division and pay off the men. Drafts
will be held two months,
and if not then called for will be return
ed to the local treasurer. The various
banks along the line with which the
road has open accounts have been noti-
fed of the change.
