Too Easy to Get There.

Last evening a couple Of gentlemen were
discussing the causes OF the slim attend
ance at some of our churches on the Lords
day. Some mentioned one cause and some
another. At length one OF them, a gentle
man OF vivid imagination and philosophie
insight worthy OF an Emerson, broke forth
in this wise:
clergy have been teaching the people that
they are sitting on a creased rainbow,
and whichever way they slide they will
slide into heaven"

it's emergency. Mr.. Patrick Clark informs
us that the water in the Union CONSOLE.
dated mine is at the call Of the Water Com
pany, and Mr.. Clark goes further, and will
give the use of the boilers of the mine if the
Water Company will but stand the cost OF
the pumping. The water is pure and in a

for the period OF thirty days at least, and
it is presumed that by that time the supply
of the Butte Water Company will be sufi-
cient to meet all the demands of the public.

"What's become OF Parson jerks, who
came out here to preach" asked a friend
of a Dakota man.
well, you see he made a sort of a bad
break and we just firmly passed him along
to some other community. We didn't like
his style somehow"
why, l am surprised at that, he was
considered a very able and earnest worker
down in our country"
Don't know anything about that, but
We found it necessary to help him out of the
neighborhood on a rail-"
II am astonished! You did a great in
justice to a worthy man, l am certain.
What were the charges against him?"
why, in his sermon one Sunday he got
going on about the Holy Land and said
they could raise bigger wheat over there
than we could in Dakota, and then went on
to quote something hat 1 don't believe
was ever in the Bible, about seed falling in
some particular kind OF sile and increasing
a hundred fold. just as soon as he said it
I and Deacon Penny rose right up and
went out and got a rail, and Deacon Jones
and members of the choir brought the rev.
erend gentleman out and set him on. l tell
you no man "a preach to us who goes to
rejecting on Dakota's wheat raising"

An Excellent Showing.

The statement of the First National
Bank OF Butte, as published elsewhere in
this issue, makes not only a nice showing
for the institution but for the city as well.
The undivided profits are more than three
times the capital stock, the deposits foot
up nearly one and one-third million dol
lars, and the liabilities, outside OF amounts
due to depositors, are a mere trife, little
more, in fact, than two and a quarter per
cent. OF the banks capital. The available
cash on hand is far in excess vi legal re-
quirements, and the statement through
out shows the most judicious and safe
management

HUSTON CAPTURED.

Badly Wounded, He Crawis Eight Miles
on His Hands and Knees.
Special to THE MINER.
DEER LODGE, August 29.-Edgar L. Hus-
ton, who escaped from the Territorial peni-
Tertiary several days ago was captured to-
day about fifteen miles up the valley from
this place by John Fifer. The prisoner
was wounded through the hips when max
ing his escape and when found was nearly
exhausted. Being unable to walk he had
crawled over eight miles on his hands and
knees. Mr.. Fifer has received the 500 re-
ward offered by Marshal Kelly for the cap
ture OF the escaped convict. Huston vas
convicted at Deer Lodge in December 1885
OF horse stealing and sent up for two years.
Other charges are against him and when
his sentence expires he stands a good show
of receiving another dose OF the same
medicine.

A MORNING BLAZE.
The Same Building On Fire Twice
in Twenty. Four Hours.

Ill 1Wenty.FOuf
Yesterday morning, about 4:15 O'Clock
the Welcome Lodging House, u one-story
frame structure, on Broadway and Wy
oming streets, took fire and the prompt ar
arrival of the Fire Department extiDguish'
ed the flames with slight damage to the
building and it's contents.
This morning about lis O'Clock a fire
started in the same building butthis time, be-
fore the Fire Department could respond with
their customary alacrity, the flames had
gained considerable Roadway. Huge sheets
OF fire shot out from the front and rear
doors, and the entire inside OF the house
was almost consumed before the water
could be turned on the building. The
flames that emerged carried with them a
cloud OF black smoke, as il some very in
hammable material were burning inside.
The Fire Department Immediately re-
sponded to the alarm, and two streams of
water were turned on the burning build
ing. At first it WAS thought that
fire, occupied by Mr.. A. H. Tarbot.
would catch fire, but a stream was played
upon the roof and side, which saved it
from burning. The fire was soon got under
control, but not until the building was
completely Quilted.
The roomers in the house succeeded in
saving nearly all of their property, and
one lodger barely escaped suffocation from
smoke in escaping from the flames.
The building was owned by Mr.. Lavell
and occupied by Mrs. Martha Shadwell as
a lodging house. An insurance of 81 1000
is held on the furniture by w. J. Shadwell,
q son OF the proprietress. who is now in
Helena.
While the men were carrying out the
contents of the building. Mr.. Shadwell
rushed toward the door, ordered the men
out, and hut the door, telling them to
never mind those things. but to save a
couple OF trunks which were down stairs in
the rear OF the building.
The fire yesterday morning started in
the rear OF the building, but this morn
ing's blaze must have started in the CEN
ter, as the flames shot out OF the front
and rear Of the house at the same time.
Rumors of incendiarism were fire.
quent and loud during the fire, and
from the suspicious circumstances it
g probable that such is the case.

LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS,
| Indians Want an Allotment of Lands and
PAPER Title.

Indians Want an Allotment of Lands and
Paper Title.
WASHINGTON, August 31.--Acting-Com'
missioner Upshaw, OF the Indian Office, has
issued the following letter of instructions
to agents upon the various reservations,
where und-r existing laws and treaty slip.
ulations allotments OF lands in s~everalty
may be made:
1.-THE business OF a~lloting and patenting
lands to Indians should be pressed with
the utmost vigor. The Indians are awak.
ening to the importance OF individual own
ership. and agents must foster and encour
age this feeling by all the in their
power. The Indian asks for "a paper
title' for his land and with that in his pos
session he has some guaranty that the
land he improves will not he taken from
him. The Indians must be impressed with
the fact that if they desire to make their
stay on a reservation sure and stable they
must take up lands and get a regular title
from the government.
Mr., Upshaw said to-day that man.
tribes are now clamorous for allotments
and patents as they were formerly
tenacious of holding all lands in common.

Costly Stupidity.
C11h@ n------

St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Two or three years ago 1 was night
clerk at the hotel Nantasket, at Nantasket
Beach. One night John L. Sullivan, with
Pete Mccoy and a few Of his other sport
ing friends, came in and wanted something
to drink. It was after IL o'clock and the
bar was closed, but the head barkeeper
happened to be near the desk, and know
ing Sullivan he opened the doors and the
party went in. They sat at a table for
some time and drank q couple of bottles
OF wine. They had evidently had some be-
fore coming to the hotel, and they felt the
there a dispute arose about some point or
other which l did not understand, and
Sullivan finally wanted to bet a 500 that
he was right. "Oh. come of, said Mccoy,
"you haven't got $780," "H'aint Il"
retorted Sullivan in a loud voice, as he
rose from the table, "I1l show
you I've got money. See here!' and
quick as a wink he drew a mag
nifcent gold watch from his vest
pocket, released it from tho guard and
threw it with his whole strength against
the partition which separated the wine
room from the hotel lobby. 1t sounded
woodwork. OF course, the watch was
ruined. That was a sample OF the reckless
and foolish displays which he frequently
made in those days.
But it is not only the ''plug-uglies'' and
'thugs' who do such things. l have seen
exhibitions equally nonsensieal on the part
OF some OF the highest.toned bloods OF the
Hub. happened in a rich hotel bar in
Boston one night when a youth who occu-
pies a place in the "best society came in
and ordered wine for himself and friends.
They sat at a table in front OF the bar, and
after the bottle had been emptied, the
young man deliberately picked it up and
sent it crashing through a magnificent
French mirror which filled the whole wall
back Of the bar. Then he drew his check
book from his pocket, signed a blank and
before the proprietor had time to show
anger, asked him how much he should fill
it out for. That break cost him 81, 500.

The Government Printer,

WASHINGTON, August 30.-The Nationa
Republican says: The new Government
printer has been appointed and wal set.
tied beyond dispute at the Government
printing Office to-day, and the employees
expect to meet their new chief at an early
day.
Gilbert Benedict, brother of the new
Public Printer, arrived here yesterday at
II o'clock. He reached the printing Office,
presenting his credentials, made himself
known and relieved Taylor as Chief Clerk
of the Office. The change WAS considerably
of a surprise, as it was not supposed that
any step of this kind would be taken before
the Public Printer had qualified and
bonded. The bond is 500, 600. and there
is no official Information that the bond
has either been offered or accepted. In
making the change mentioned before arriv-
ing in the city it is supposed that the
Public Printer is only mapping out a way
to furnish his friends with office. It has
caused much uneasiness and trepidation
among the employees, especially those
holding the principal positions. They may
be called upon to abdicate in favor OF
some application in favor Of a successor of
Mr.. Rounds.
