Oispleased.
One Of the knottiest questions that
viii puzzle the braius OF School Su-
perintendent Anderson during his
tenure OF office, will probably be the
condition of the Ketchum school dis.
trict.
Last fall Mr.. Brashear was hired to
teach the school, with the understand
ing that he should have an assistant.
as he had nearly 80 pupils, or double
the number that any teacher could
90 justice to. The schoolhouse was
likewise too small, and the funds
short. Professor Brashear caused it
to be stated in the Keystone that, if
the Trustees could not provide a
schoolhouse, al assistant, and cord
wood, he would supply all free of
charge. That is, he would di.
vide his salary with his assist
ant, and supply house and procure
cordwood besides. Colonel Brodhead,
one of the two Trustees (another enc
having previously resisned), left the
country about this time, and Mr.
Judge promptly discharged the
teacher, and hired another. Tina,
night there was public demonstra'
ton, by parents and puoIs. at which
Professor Brashear was indorsed, the
lone Trustee denounced, and the Pro
lessor requested to open school
which he did the next day. The con
sequence is that four. tifths of the pu
pills are attending the Professors fire.
school, while a lonely few still attene
the public school.
! Mr.. Anderson will therefore have t.
appoint two trustees, whose duty i
will be to straiten out the district, 81
as to secure school benefits to al
alike.

remain SO cold that even they will

MISS JEFFREYS LEWIS.
At Deer Lodge, Tuesday Evening, Dec. 29th.

1t is with much pleasure we announce the
appearance, next Tuesday evening, of Miss
Jeffreys Lewis and company In her beautiful
society play of "Torge T. Me-Not." The lady
comes to us by universal commentator one
of the greatest of living actresses and has
supporting company of much merit 1t is
only to be regretted that the seating capacity
of the theatre Is so limited and its accommo-
dations so poor, as otherwise Deer Lodge
would testify its appreciation of her histri-
onic talent by An audience out of all proper.
ton to the number of people here. In
speaking of the play as presented in Butte
the Miner of Tuesday says:
"The beautiful society drama Of "Forget-
Me-Not" was presented at the Grand, last
evening to q large audience and an appreci-
alive one. No actress who could compare to
Miss Lewis has ever appeared in Butte, and
the supporting company Is, without excep-
ton, excellent.
Miss Lewis, as Stephanie, exhibited dra-
matte powers of the highest order Her
reading is magnificent, her art perfect The
light and shade that she imparts to the char
acter are as marked as they are charming.
There Is to-day no woman on the American
stage who possesses true dramatic genius to
| 80 marked degree rs Miss Lewis. She Is
not only clever reader and master Of the
technique of the stage, but she has beauty
and grace of movement-the latter so fire.
quently lacking in the modern actress.
The performance of last evening was q
| rare treat to all true lovers of art. 1t was the
very best, beyond any doubt, ever given in
Butte. and 1t would be difficult to suggest
any improvement Miss Lewis does not
stand alone. Her genius is not of the kind
that must be bolstered by contrast-.with
sticks" The company is a strong one, well
balanced. Miss Charlotte Tittel was salts
factory and charming Alice Verney, showing
| decided talent and conscientious work. Miss
Essey Tittel did very nicely as Rose Verney,
the invalid sister, to whom falls but little
work. Miss Grouse did ample justice to the
character of Mrs Foley, to which she lent a
spice that was decidedly pleasant. As Sir
Horace Weiby, Mr.. Mainhall proved himself
a very excellent actor and a leading man OF
great promise. He had an admirable con
ception of the character, which he main
tanned exceliently. Mr.. Thompsons Prince
was good, a word that may justly be applied
to all the support"

Was Ii Wise q?

The Butte papers publish statement that
masked men "held up" the jailer of the city
Jail, took his keys, opened the Jail, took out
number of Migrants who had been arrested
and placed there, and after midnight two
hundred masked men in waiting marched
them down to the bridge across Missoula

fellow, who had behaved indecently in the
presence of children, was logged. The next
day two of these Migrants we're found by a
ranchman at his house below Silver Bow,
stealing provisions. He held them up, took
them to Silver Bow, telephoned for the sher-
if, and they were taken back to Butte. Aside
from the lawlessness of the act, the questi on
arises, ii Butte, an incorporated city with a
strong police system, with secure jails, with
immense revenues, with every facility for
arresting and Furnishing these Migrants, is
doing itself credit in driving out its idlers
and buns on the defenceless country COM
from home. and where hunger viii drive

plain justly If foreign powers ship pauper'

working them until they acquire industriou

HEAVIEST TAXPAYERS
In Deer Lodge County for the Year 1888

1t has been customary since 1874 to publish
annually in the NEW NORTHWEST list of
the heaviest taxpayers in Deer Lodge
county In 1875 there were 20 persons paid
over slOO taxes; in 1876 there were 30 persons;
in 1877 there were ITO persons; in 1873 there
were 155 persons; in 1879 there were 165. In
1880 only those who paid Sl25 or over were
published, and they numbered 40. In 1881,
on account of the division of the county and
a reduction of the rate Of taxation to II mills
on the dollar, we returned to the Sl00 basis,
and the list that year contained SO names. In
1882 the tax levy was reduced to 10 mills, and
the list contained 81 names. In 1888 the
general levy for the county Yves 16 mills, and
IA persons paid 500 taxes or more. In 1884
the tax was IS mills, and 1876 persons paid
500 or more.
This year the general levy in the county is
| IA mills, plus one-half mill for indemnity
fund, except $500 off on valuation of cattle,
horses and mules. Besides this there are
