POLITICAL

Says the Dillon Tribune: "Sam Hauser's
chances for the ~Governorship of Montan a
are considered good. The old Democratic
Boss is a hard one to down."
We suppose the following from the Boze-
man Chronicle has a political application:
"Winsome Willie has succeeded in making
a mash on the County Commissioners"
The New York Sun says that while Sena-
tor Edmunds takes a drink when he wants
it, he is Incorporate in nothing, and adds
that she was especially temperate in his
support of Brother Blaine"
The Missoula Times says: "Robert s.
Kelly OF Deer Lodge has been appointed by
the President United States Marshal for
Montana. This indicates easy enough that
Maginnis is down and Joe Toole is up"
The Atlanta Constitution says: "A per-
sonal advertisement in the New York Her
aid reads: Where are you? Address Col
onel, Herald Office Probably an unfortu-
nate Georgian stranded in the great city"
Says the Peoria Transcript: "a man
named Bread has been appointed to a Ne
braska postoffice. Now let him come over
to Dubuque and clasp Postmaster Ham in
a fraternal embrace. Between them a po-
Htical sandwich could be mustered up"
In reference to the appointment of Mar
shall Kelly the Bozeman Chronicle has the
following to say: Gas predicted by the
Chronicle, Robert Kelly, OF Deer Lodge,
has been appointed United States Marshal.
Mr.. kelly's appointment is due to the
Jealous work OF Hon. J. X. Toole, and will,
we think, meet with the praise OF all true
Democrats"
Says the River Press: "The Honorable
Joseph X. Toole, our delegate in Congress,
recently appeared before Secretary Lamar
and argued the iniquity of turning over the
Tongue and Rosebud river country to v
ages. Mr.. Toole seems to be in earnest in
the matter OF reducing the area of Indian
reservations in Montana, and we trust that
he will not overlook the biggest and best of
them all-the great Northern reserve"

gaining in public favor the more it is ex-

There is at present much discussion in
church circles over women's work in the
church. Many influential ministers nave
proclaimed against the practice of giving
women the title OF 'Deaconess." The Ia

Joy that distinction.
Sir John Lubbock, after many expert
ments on the power of hearing of bees and
ants, has come to the conclusion that these
insects cannot hear. This will be a sur

habit OF pounding on tin pans to keep bees
from alighting on the trees.

WOODVILLE AND BOULDER.
Accidents and Incidents in These Two
Camps.

In Boulder a fine arastra is being built,
which will cost 81, 600 when completed.
One thousand cords of wood were taken
from Woodville the past week, and there
are now fully two hundred cords on the
stack.
Joseph Harrington has just completed
the enclosure of 600 acres of land and has
sown it in timothy hay. The crops look
promising.
There are five saloons, two boarding
houses, two blacksmith shops and two gro
ceries in Woodville. The village is very
dull, and the roads are in a beastly condi-
ton.
w. H. Lockhart will have about forty
teams employed next week to haul wood to
the Montana Copper Company. This con-
tract is for six months, and the terms are
that he shall deliver 300 cords per month.
They are building a skating rink at
Boulder, which will be 5Ox75 feet in the
clear. The finishing touches will be added
in a few days, and then the lads and lasses
will enioy themselves to their hearts con-
tent.
Several nights ago the gang at Woodville
feeling in a particularly facetious humor,
rendered a tin pan serenade to a young
man who appeared in the camp in the ca
pacity of a missionary from Philadelphia.
The serenade was the only indignity to
which he was subjected.

to walk ten miles to the next station, and

ACCIDENT AT ANACONDA.
A Premature Explosion Causes Serious
Injury to John Farrell.

An accident occurred at the Anaconda
mine, yesterday afternoon, by which John
Farrell, one of the shift bosses of the mine,
received some very painful injuries. 1t ap-
pears that a gang of miners were engaged in
the east drift of the 800 foot level, making
connection with the west drift. The men
had a round OF holes drilled and loaded
with powder, yesterday afternoon, and
were about to blast, preparatory to quit
ting work for the day. 1t was supposed
that the men had several feet more to run
before connecting with the west drift, and
Foreman Mike Carroll and Mr.. Farrell went
into that drift for the purpose OF listening
to the blast. thus determining how much
ground remained to be mined. A moment
after, an explosion took place that con-
nected the two drifts, but which also came
neal killing both Carroll and Farrell. The
latter gentleman received the full burden of
the blast about his face and body, and for
a time it was feared that the unfortunate
man had lost the use of his eyes. This,
however, is not the case, and when the sui
ferer was brought to the surface, it was
found that he had escaped with a few very
severe cuts and bruises. Mr.. Carroll, for
tunately escaped without a scratch. The
injured man is a nephew to Superintendent
Daley, and is much respected in this COM
munity.

"are aware of the building boom now in
progress in Butte. l have carefully sur.
veyed the ground, and l am satisfied that
fully two hundred buildings, big and little,
are now in course OF construction within

OF three years ago sinks into insigniicance

Butte?"
"No," replied Col. jerks, "there are
plenty of mechanics and laboring men in
Butte to do all the required work.

ores from Utah and other camps; nuggets,
dust, ETC., from placer mines in different
parts of the territory, n elegant speci.
mems from the Ceur d'Alene, Colorado, and

A GOOD LITTLE BOY STORY.
A Centerville Boy Who Wanted
Drum and Got 1t.

A Centerville father tells the following
story on one OF the youthful member OF his
family: Tommy wanted a drum. His
mother, wishing to give him an impressive
lesson, suggested that if he would pray for
it he might receive one. So, at night, when
ready for bed, he knelt down and prayed
"Now l lay me down to sleep Il want a
drum; l pray the Lord my soul to keep Il
want a drum; If I should die before l
wake Il want a drum; l pray the Lord my
soul to take Il want a drum)."
His father, who had been let into the
secret, had meanwhile quietly placed a
drum on the bed. As the ~youngster rose and
his eyes fell on the drum, he exclaimed in
an emphatic manner, that banished all
serious thoughts from the minds of his
listeners: "Where the d. did that drum
come from?"

The Big Hole Bridge,

The Dillon Tribune of a recent late says:
AT the meeting of the Board OF County
Commissioners this week, the condition of
the bridge crossing the Big Hole river at
Melrose was fully considered. The present
bridge is in poor condition, and during the
high water in the Big Hole is liable to be
washed out. The Commissioners were in
favor of putting in an iron bridge, and in
structed the County Clerk to correspond
with the Silver Bow county authorities in
regard to the unsafe condition OF the bridge,
urging cooperation on the part OF both
counties in the bridge matter. The Melrose
bridge is important to both Silver Bow
and B~eaverhead counties, and both coun-
ties should unite and put in a substantial
iron bridge that would be secure and last
ing. Until an iron bridge can be put in, the
present structure should be secured against
washing out.

Argyle, ILL.,, and his wife were at church
their fourteen-year old daughter, Emily,
disappeared from home. Emily is a beau
tiful girl with black hair, flashing brown
eyes and a figure that a woman OF 20 might
envy. Her sudden disappearance was for
a while inexplicable, for she was a domestic,
quiet girl, but the search that was insti-
tuted for her ceased when two letters were
found in her writing-desk. One read:

Some little time ago Mr.. Smith engaged
Henry Magoon, a stranger, as superintend-
emit OF his Big farm. Magoon is at least 60
years old. He has good manners and a
pleasant address. He frequently drove
Miss Smith round the country roads here
and while alone must have made her
believe he loved her.
One evening Mrs. Smith saw Emily and
Magoonin a little summer house. Magoon's
arm was around the girl and Mrs. Smith
saw the old man kiss her daughter. She
informed her husband. Smith drove Magoon
off his farm at the muzzle of a shotgun and
told him if he ever caught him around
there again he would kill him.
Magoon went away and Emily seemed to
have forgotten him. The sly girl was, how
ever, corresponding with him and on Sun
day she ran away to meet the aged fasci-
nator. Mr.. Smith is frantic and he VOWS
he will kill Magoon on sight.
