He Caught q Bride.

In his weird flight through strange
countries Mr.. J. r. Wharton, well
known as having been connected
with Clark & Larabie's bank for eight
or nine thousand years, has been
caught in Cupid's entanglements.
On the 18th Mr.. Wharton and his
bride were registered at the Palmer
House, Chicago, while en- route for
New O;leans.
So long as they live the young
ladies of Butte will regret their mod
est tlmidity. Mr.. Wharton, always
the acme of perfection In his inter-
course with ladies. seems to have
been captured by the Queen Of Beau
tvs Camp, else the eastern par ers are
gross fabricat0rs.
With the generosity Of heart, only
possessed by Western ladies, Mrs.
Wharton will be welcomed to Butte
as a bright addition to the brilliant
society Of young maids and matrons,
who do honor to this portion of the
Pacific Slope.

The Library.

"For lack of sufficient encourage
ment the committee appointed to
work up q public library in Deer
Lodge have abandoned the project
for the present. ."-NesV North West.
Shall we have it to record that the
proposed reading room and library
scheme for Butte City shall prove a
myth for want of proper encourage
ment?
If so, then Butte bellies ITSELF So
important a feature Of the Silver City
as public library will become, will
add honor to our people and prove a
blessing beyond calculation. Never
as yet has 1.-The greatest camp in the
world" gone back on an enterprise
from which good would result. This
Is not the time to inaugurate q new
departure. The ladies who are fos-
tering the proposition for a free
library aud reading room are In
earnest. Those upon whom they
call for assistance have so far re-
sponded very generously. The camp
is prosperous, the out look is bright,
the city is growing rapidly, the
population increasing wonderfully
The public demand such an institu
tion az the w. G. T. u. are endeavor-
ing to build. Give them encourage
ment by subscribing literally.

LITTLE DICK.
He Passes In His Cheeks.

He Passes In His Cheeks.
The grim monster, Death, In lis
great swath taken by his large scythe
has garnered into his ghastly fold
another of this earthly people. "Lit-
tie Dick" was In the field, stan1ing
proudly as a spear Of human grain.
when the sharp blade which spares
no man touched the vital spark
which sustains. and he fell with
others more stalwart.
For fifteen years Little Dick Simms.
has been identified with the west as
one of its peculiar people. Dick was
a gambler In every sense Of the word.
Elegant in dress, generous in pocket,
liberal In mind, every ready to re-
Hsve distress, often throwing his
thousands broadcast and as often
with no thousands to spend, he
has at last succumbed to the fell de-.
stroyer.
I His STACK run light In the final deal
with the monster; his play was made
in good. faith when death coppered
the bet and Little Dick lost. Still
smiling and happy he only said
"Boys, I'm broke! 1 played'er
straight up as long as the stack
lasted"
Dick died at the Sisters Hospital
at 10 o'clock Monday night. His
funeral will take place to-day at 2
o'clock z. Nj. from the Sisters Hos
pital.

The Alice.

Work at the Alice mine has been
temporarily suspended sinca Sunday
last for the purpose of moving the
columns from the steam pumps to
the new Cornish plungers, which are
all In place at the two, three, and

from the bob n surface to the bot
tom. The pumping engine has been
in place several days. Steam is

THE BUTTE PAVILION.
The New Management to Open on
Saturday Next.

On and after tomorrow Feb. s.,
Messrs. Buker, Creel & Molinelli as
sume the management of the Butte
Pavilion. and will, on Saturday
next, reopen the same as a roller
skating rink. The cement floor upon
which the ice has lain for the past
six weeks has greatly improved, ow-
ing, doubtless, to the process of per
fiction, which, under the theory Of
the patentee, required time to accom-
plish. The floor has become per-
fectly smooth and the fact Of its be-
ing noiseless, and requiring no chalk
makes it advantageous in many re-
spects over other floors. New rollers
have been put on all skates, and all
the appointments Of the rink will be
unsurpassed.
A new pavilion band has been Or
ganized with Mr.. F. J. Tebo US
leader, which will discourse new
and choice music every afternoon
and evening. Competent persons
will be in attendance to assist begin
ners. Courteous and obliging gen.
tlemen will endeavor to see to the
wants Of both skaters and spectators.
The gentlemen who have assumed
charge Of the rink are well known,
and their managerial capabilities are
sufficient guarantee that the pavilion
will become popular place of re-
sort.

A voice sounded clear on my ear,
Saying, 20, friend of nv youth far away,
Write couplet and send 1t me, dea-."
I'woke with start, but no vision
Pegasus-lik loomed into view;
Then muttered, '.This Is a delusiOn!
Whence comes such phenomenon new~'
Then flashed upon me sweet face,
With pleading soil :itous gaze
Oerdowing its features with grace
Id seen 1t in happier days.
o, dearest of women, and fairest.
With mind bright as evenings fair star.
When surrounded by friends that are dearest
Remember the friend who's afar.
And some day when fields are In bloom,
And the meadow-lark singing so canny.
I'll consign every care to foul gloom,
And indite sweet verse to my Annie.

We were fostered and cared for, and
now We are q whole tree full. A few
more SHOWS and we will be the roots,

There is no doubt but the tribe is

valiantly for their cause, but the

homes, even to their tepees, and then
gather all the machinatione they may
