Another derelict democratic official has
made his debut in a neighboring town in
Kennebec county. In the spring of 1884 at
the annual town meeting he contracted to
collect the taxes at l-2 cents on the dollar,
final settlement with the town to be reached
at the end of one year, As is the rule he
filed bond, which was duly accepted by the
then board of seectmen, and placed in
the safe, the combination of which
was known to the party giving the bond.
When the year was up it was found on inves-
tigation that the collectors books were
crooked, there being about 5000 of the towns
money missing. BY this time new board of
selectmen had been elected, and they natur-
ally looked in the safe for the bond, when
they found there were irregularities in the
collectors accounts. But strange to
relate, the bond was not in the
safe and while afterwards it was
discovered in barn in the neighborhood,
formerly belonging to the indscreet collec-
tor, very suggestive fact 1t turned out
that a member of the new board of select
men was one of the sureties on the bond,
there being four persons in all, and very re-

struck heavily and squarely upon the tines,

Little Dick.

He was planted yesterday In the
silent grave. The concourse which
followed his remains was quite large.
The cof1inl supplied by his friends
of the gambling frat rnity was ele-
CANT, and real grief was manifested
when the man of God pronounced
his words of consolation. No loving
mother, devoted sister or dear rela-
tive was present to drop a tear upon
the cold earth which covered his re-
mains, but many q heart yielded a
throb of sorrow for Little Dick Sims,
remembering his genial, gentlemanly,
generous ways. He never quarreled
and never gave offence intentionally.
He was known a q square" gam
bier and although aware that he
cou'd live but q short time, never
complained. His jokes we're sprung
to the last turn out of Life's box. He
bet, even With Death as dealer, and
went into the presence of bis Maker
wi b a smile upon his lips. satisfied

double shot the turn and played him

To Cleveland.

Cat. J. G. Shepherd, always ell
gagged in some good cause, has now
tackled a new racket, viz: the build
in of a beautiful horseshoe from
gold, silver and copper produced In
Butte. The design is unique. A
solid silver shoe Is wreathed with
copper, in which is engraved "The
Democracy of Montana Territory
send ere eting," and In q Beautiful
gold plate pendant from the heel
corks ITO Grover Cleveland" Pend
ant from the centre in a rich frame
of gold is a base relief picture OF tne
Pre- sident, in copper.
The design will cost over hve
hundred dollars, and is subscribed to
in sums ranging from $500 to $50 OO
by the represe NATIVE citizens. The
great difficulty Captain Shepherd ex-
perienc g is in refusing contribu-
tons for the laudible undertaking
It is we'll known that Grover Cleve-
land will not accept individual pres
ents, but az this is designed as a tes-
tim.nial from the people at large OF
the greatest Territory in the world,
he will undoubtedly appreciate the
silent expression and cherish the
gift as q dear memento.

DRAMATIC.
The Standard Will Visit Butte.

On Monday evening the Standard
Dramatic Company will make their
appearance at Renshaw Hall, in
Augustin D~aly'sgreat play of "Under
the Gaslight," which was originally
produced at the old Fifth Avenue
Theatre, New York, and held the
boards there for upwards Of year
More money was made by stars and
managers from this play than from
any otter ever written. 1t is a
graphic stage picture OF New York
life and Is spiced with considerable
sensation. One of the special features
is a great railroad scene where's reg
ulation sized locomotive and passen-
ger cars attached sweeps across the
stage at full speed. So great is the
enthusiasm Of the audience that at
every performance the curtain has to
he rung up several times. As tt Is
some time since we have had any
dramatic company here, the business
Is b ,und to be big.
The troupe is 80 highly spoken Of
that our theatre-going public will be
delighted to witness their representa-.
tions. The town will lie thoroughly
billed to-day. Reserved seats will be
in order.

discovered a tonce that the apparatus of
the department could not he utilized.
Sending the carriages back to their
rooms, the individual members of the
department aud brigade visited the
scene of the c~ontiagration and render
ed what assistance they could. The
house was frame, 3 stories in height,
and was occupied by Mrs. John
Duffy as a boarding house for men
working at the Parrot mill. Perhaps
not one hundred dollars worth of
furniture was saved. No known

was probably accidental. The loss Is

A Great Surprise.

The Eastern Star held q meeting
last night which was we'll attended.
At the previous meeting Mrs. Ragan
was appointed a committee of one to
furnish some sort of an entertainment
for the succeeding one. She con-
cluded to give a charade; the word
was Marriage" When the time ar
rived for the fun, the fair lady
stepped out In quee My style and i'm.
mediately the R,v. Mr.. Black
iston confronted. her with the
proposition that a third party was
absolutely necessary TO make the
charade a success, w%hereupon he
called upon MI. VIM. M. Hartupeeto
come forward. That gentleman
obeyed the summons, and to the
a~stonlshment of all present. the
Rev. gentleman performed the "last
sad rites" In the most impressive
manner. 1t was q great surprise to
everyb ,dy, but the plinclp lis to the
affair evidently had the job put up
In advance. When the matter began
to assume a serious shape, all the old
bachelors present, including Messrs.
O.P. Blaine, T. c. Porter, J.Bcrdeaux,
and others, stood like statues, with
great beads of sweat standing upon
their seemingly crestfallen brows.
They csuld not realize what was be-
ing done, and only upon the an
nouncement being made that the
two high contracting parties were
IMAM and wife" did they conclude
that the cha rade was not altogether
a farce. After the ceremony the
whole party repaired to Woodworth's
restaurant, where an oyster supper
was served. 1t Is needless to say
that the affair passed off nicely. and
although the MINER reporter was
not pre- sent, he takes pleasure on be-
half of this journal to wish the happy
pair q long and happy life.
