Harry X. Horr, of the Yellowstone. is
on a visit to Bozeman. Time deals
gently with Harry, as he looks as young
as ten years ago.
The Silver Cornet Band will play this
evening at the rink. Admission will be
free and only fifty cents will he charged
for the use of skates for the evening.
The Board of Trade of Bozeman will
have meeting at the city hall Thurs
day evening at O'Clock. sharp. Bust
ness of importance and fall attendance
requested.
As will he seen by advertisement in
this issue, Maguire's opera house will be
opened here next Monday, with the ap-
pearance of Miss Phosa McAllister, with
her specially selected troupe. She will
play two nights.
John Worth has leased the room for
merly occupied by Capt. John Smith, as
a saloon and billiard hall, and will open
it up about April first. He informs us
that he has ordered three billiard tables
of the finest and best make, and will
put them in position as soon as they ar
rive.
J. B. Stewart returned home this
marning. after spending the winter in
Canada. He says the winter has been
horrible, and he is glad to get back
where he can get some sunshine. Jim
did not say anything about Mrs. Stewart
so we conclude he did not bring her
with him, as he ought to have done.
We dislike to apologize, but from the
fact that we have had SO much job work
and advertisements handed in the past
few days and cannot secure any more
help, we have been forced to leave out a
good deal of matter to-day. This, with
the financial sta 'nent to be published

The approaching city election comes in
for good share of the street and Preside
talk and opinion, as 8 a matter of course
they differ as to the manner Of putting
candidates forward. One is in favor of
making party nominations; another is for
q clear field and an open fight. Another
is for . mass meeting to nominate "a
mayor, marshal, police magistrate and
city caefk, and the wards meet in the
same way to nominate aldermen. We
care very little what the manner of pro-
cedure is, but we discountenance politics
in our city affairs and do not believe in
making party nominations for the differ
ent offices.

Henry J. Armstrong, agent for the Crow
Indians, in letter to the Billings Heard
says they were in error in stating that
his police force took advantage of the
absence of Hamilton and Others, by de-
stroying the cabin they had built. Says
his instructions to the police, was to de-
stroy the cabin and bring the parties to
the agency, and he was sorry they were
not there. Says he will undertake to
rebuild the cabin, and forfeit 500 if the
site of it is not from five to eight miles
inside the reservation. Feels that an
important part of his duty has been to
get reservation reduced to the lowest
possible limit that would afford each
Crow his homestead under the treaty and
says whatever progress has been made in
this direction, the credit should be due
10 him ensirely. As it is now he must
enforce the law etc.

1t is pleading to note with what conf.

future. This confidence is not based
upon the hope that, "Micawber like some.
thing is going to - up" but upon solid
and substantial reasons. The market
value Of produce is enhancing, the mining
prospects loom up and will ere many

The New York Times in speaking of
the appointments made to fill territorial
Offices says: "As the territories have no
electoral vote and no voice in the nation
nj convention, this return to the old Gus
tom Of exporting strangers to the terri
tories, may not be conspicuous political
blunder, but it is nevertheless an error
of judgment" However we cannot
escape this custom until we have set up
housekeeping on our own account, for
which we will ever pray etc.

The county fathers again come in for a
share of abuse because they have follow
ed legal advice in the matter of the coun-
ty printing. They did not choose to rely
on an exparte decision from the chief
justice and one in which many of sound
legal judgment do not coincide. So far
- our own action in the premises is con-
cerned we did not bid but simply filed q
protest against making a contract with
any other publisher or publishers, as we
had made . contract for that purpose,
filed bond ETC., and stood ready to per-
form our part and that we should main
tain our rights in the premises. Our
ueighbor cannot feel hurt. as in any
event they could not have received the
contract, as they we're not the lowest
bidders.

By the accompanying communications
it will be seen that we, as trustees of the
public library of Bozeman, have been
requested to turn the library and effects
over to the public school on the one
hand, and the Y. NJ. c. \. on the other.
1t will be remen bered that library as
ISOLATION was formed here a number of
years ago and opened up reading rooms.
The expense of conducting it in this
manner became burdensome on the few
who still kept it up, and at meeting it
was resolved that the property and ef-
fects be turned over to three trustees,
with instructions to keep the property
in trust until such time as library as
ISOLATION of similar character should be
established upon permanent basis, then
in that case they were authorized to
turn over the property to that institu-
ton. The trustees elected were 4. d.
Mcpherson, &. L. Clark and S. w. Lang
horne Judge Mcpherson took the libr-
airy in charge for some time, and after
wards Mr.. Bogert. Mr.. Bogert desiring
to get rid of 1t, suggested that it be
placed in the public school building, for
the convenience of the scholars and the
public. This was done, but was in no
sense donation, because the trustees
had no such authority. Now the Y. NJ.
c. "A. have organized, and in addition to
their other objects, desire to institute
library, and requeA that the property be
turned over to them. Grave doubts
arise in our minds as to whether this
organization comes within the scope of
the resolution. In our humble judg-
ment it does not, as it is not purely
library association us contemplated by
the spirit of the resolution which placed
the property in our charge. In order to
settle this matter we suggest that a
meeting be called of the original mem-
bers of the library association, and then
dispose of this question.

GENTLEMEN Having understood that
you have charge of the library lately in

that you are instructed by that associa-

you that we are thus organized, having a
of more than fifty of the
citizens of Bozeman, and have ordered
literature to amount to at the rate ofS15O
per year, all of which together with our
rooms we offer for use of the public, and
we do hereby respectfully tender an ap-
plication for such of the books and funds

It is astonishing what rich finds OF
gold are made during the winter IN
places where the snow is from six to
eight feet deep, and it is astonishing how
the prospect melts with snow. This
time it is reported about twenty miles
from Heron, near the trail to Eagle City.
OF course they found it in the soil which
has been upturned by a fallen tree, or
where their camp fire had melted the
snow down to the earth. As 80 many
suckers are preparing to 60 to the new
find in the Ceur d'Alene, we will not be
surprised if every Quitting point to
Eagle City will find plenty Of gold on
the trail. All me, we wish we had all
the gold dust which has been reported
found in the manner above described.
We would never have occasion to borrow
money on our diamonds or take tie pass
over a railroad.

The Madisonian suggests that meet
ing of the early settlers of Alder gulch be
held at an early day, and communication
be had with those of other parts of the
county with regard to it. Such an assem-
bly, would, at least, bea pleasant remind
er of "the good old days." and might pos
sibly result in the organization of soci-
ETY. of pioneers, which, besides being a
source of pleasant social intercourse,
could be made useful in collecting and
compiling historical data of great inter-
est, which is now being lost by the grad
ual dropping off of tie men who laid the
foundation of the best of the appen dages
Of our great republic.
Why not extend the invitation gener-
ally to all old pioneers no matter whet-
her they lived in Alder gulch or not, and
organize q society of pioneers?

WEDDING BELLS.

To tie Filter Of tie Eagte:
Last Thursday, the 10Th inst, was a joy
Gus day at the Presbyterian church ofClear-
water. 1t was the occasion Of the mar
riage OF Mr.. X. o. Colyer and Miss Bessie
Watt. both members of the choir, the latter
being organist. The couple have been de-
seryedly popular in the community on az
count OF their personal worth and the val
liable services rendered the congregation
by their fidelity and ability in the choir.
The people of the community felt they had
too strong 4 claim upon Miss Watt to allow
anything like 4 private wedding, conse-
quently the nuptials occurred in the church.
The room was appropriately decorated.
Two columns, wreathed with evergreen,
rose from each side of the pulpit forming
graceful arch arer the altar, in the midst Of
which was the motto, MAY you be happy"
Nearly an hour before the time for the GER
emory the house was filed with men, wo-
men and children, apparently as much IN.
terested as if it were to be u family we'd
ding. Upon the arrival of the hour, 10
o'clock a. m, the young couple walked up
arch, and the ceremony was pronounced by
j. Il. McQuown, the pastor of the church.
Immediately following, in behalf of the
congregation, the pastor presented the
bride with a beautiful family Bible, large
marble-top center table and cane rocker,
as a slight token of their appreciation of
her services as organist. The congratula-
lions were then extended by nearly the en-
tire congregation. There were some very
handsome presents, but were not exhibited
at the church. The happy couple then
drove to Wichita, taking the evening train
for the home of Mr.. Colyer. in Illinois,
where reception viii be given in their
honor.
And tlas-'.Two households both alike
in dignity" but not in variance with each
other were made happy '1ast Thursday

LETTER FROM AN OLD SETTLER.

L
CHARLOTTESVILLE, January I, 1884.
To tie Editor Of tie Eagle:
Having lived in Wichita for eleven years
| and experienced the coolest winter that the
| sunny Southwest has ever experienced,
| THAT of 1928, and the coolest day being
the Sth of February, 1873, I thought while
sitting here in Montgomery county, Indi-
ana, and viewing the weather through the
window, would pen you few lines COM
pairing this part of the globe with my old
home my favorte) Wichita.
We receive the EAGLE regularly, each
Saturday evening, and can assure you it af-
fords pleasure to search its columns and see
the growth Wichita is making and the pros
poets seemingly ahead of her. l notice by
my last issue issue you have had snow
storm in that section rs well as we all over
the East and North. 1t commenced snow
ing here December 10, 1888, and has showed
almost constantly until January >, 1884, when
it ceased and turned cold, mercury lowering
TO (by various sectional reports from q to
30 degrees below zero. On the 81 of this
month the mercury stood at 1G degrees be-
low zero all day long. have talked to the
old settlers in this county, and they tell die
this is the coolest winter that they have
witnessed since 1868, when the mercury
stood at 35 degrees below zero There is
one noticeable feature about two countries
Kansas and Indiana-the one having its
almost unbearable winds and the other its
unbcarable mud (at times, but of the two
evils, as in political campaign, prefer
the least-Kansas.
see that Wichita is still growing with
the rapidity that is circulated generally in
the East, and one would suppose, from re-
ports picked up here and there, that it was
a city Of $4,000 at least. After arriving in
Charlottesville, and it became generally
known that | was from Wichita, had a
number of callers seeking information about
the West, and especially Sedgwick county.
thought at one time an Office located here
for the purpose of colonizing emigration TO
Kansas would pay handsomely.
There is quite a colony starting to Florida
leaving here on the morning of January
18th, and their principal object in going is
TO seek healthier climatc-one less subject
to change, as there is considerable sickness
here at this season OF the year, principally
neuralgia and nalarial disease, although my
wifc's health has improved wonderfully
since we arrived here, SO much SO that |
believe this part of Indiana, owing to its
sulphur and iron spring waters, to be healthy
for persons affected with heart disease and
OF a dropsical nature.
With respects to all, and hoping at the end
of my year to be able to return to my old
home in the West. | am yours truly,
Il. l.. BEAR.

After days labor spent in shoyeling
snow to mako paths about our dwelling and
the buildings containing our stock, my
mind reve.ts to Sedgwick county, Kansas.
Permit me to inform the many patrons OF
the EAGLE that Eastern Ohio. has winter
without any notifications. Snow fell yes
terday and last night to the depth OF eigh-
teen inches. We did not have cold winter
weather in Ohio until the 10Th Of Decem.
Der. We had good sleighing ON Christmas,
and the week preceding and on New
Years Day and the day before we had rain.
On the I'd, 3D., 4th, 9Th and 9Th an degree Of
cold indicated by mercury ranging from
zero to fourteen degrees below.
The corn here was much damaged before
1t matured by early frosts, and there is
demand here for corn. Corn 10 being ship
ped here from the West by the car load.
Kansas corn is now on the market in our
county. l have just ordered two car loads
of Sedgwick county corn to be shipped to
Carroll county, Ohio, for my own purpose.
