Payday commenced yesterday at the

day evening that made Miss May McGov-
ern OF Anaconda and A. j. Mcdonnell one,
was a brilliant affair. The bride, who is
petite and pretty was born in Deer Lodge,
and went to that spot so dear to her to
have the rites solemnized. The bridal
costume was an exquisite combination OF
white MORE and lace made entrain panels
and front richly beaded, and complete
by the conventional orange blossom
wreath and veil. Her sister Miss Lizzie,
was bridesmaid and was attired in dress
| of the same, made walking length. She
was attended by Mr.. r. McRae, who acted
as best man. This presents were numer-
Gus and elegant, but can only give partial
list as they are still arriving from different
parts OF the Territory:
WEDDING PRESENTS.
Decorated chamber set, Mr.. and Mrs.
Theo. Ehret; elegantly carved Set with oxy-
died silver handles, Mr.. A. A. Mcmillan,
Butte; parlor lamp and Bohemian glass
water set, Mr.. John Cosgrove; dinner a 8
ter. Miss frankie MCGEE; pickle caster Mr..

son; lunch cloth and napkins, Mr.. and Mrs.

weather; bridal hat, Miss Maggie McGoveru;
set OF embroidered table linen, Miss Lizzie
McGovern. Several checks for goodly
amounts were also received. A reception
was held on Wednesday night and many
friends were sumptuously entertained.
AN UNIQUE FENCE.
One of our most prominent business men
has his beautiful home and yard enclosed
by the most unique and picturesque fence
in our town. To a casual visitor or to
anyone who has not watched the growth
and progress OF that fence for the past two
or three years, it invariably strikes as
being a very funny structure. A conglom-
Grafton of boards, scantling, moulding and
barbed wire, go.to make up this affair.
Our popular friend has a lawn, likewise a
garden, and all manner of quadrupeds and
bipeds hunt this yard. Chickens revel in
the flower and vegetable beds, and immedi-
ately barbed wire is stretched at the bot
tom OF the fence. Then he of the canine
race squeezes through space large
enough and luxuriates and rolls in
our friends flower beds when the
treacherous wire is moved to the center OF
the fence, and again our friend thinks with
pride OF his garden to be, when she OF the
bovine in the "stilly night" leaps over the
fence and deliberately wreaks destruction
and ruin to trees, grass and flowers, and
10, in the morning the wire adorns the top
of the fence. This accounts for the queer
movements OF that wire. any way, his
wife want a new fence, and l am her friend.

4 BRoTHERHooD CIRcULAR.
The Strike Against the Burlington still
Maintained.

The Strike Against the burlington Still
Maintained.
Members of the Brotherhood have handed
to this Office for publication a circular
issued in Chicago in reference to the Bur
lington strike with the intention of reas-
surfing their and sympathizers here as to
the continuance of the strike. The circular
is too long for publication entire and only
such extracts can be given as below:
At the beginning of the present trouble
the company admitted that they could
not fill the places of their old employees
with competent men, and the head officers
expected that a large percentage of the old
men would remain loyal to the company,
and when the company were surprised on
the morning OF February 81, by all their
employees stepping out of their respective
places, they then resorted to the only
means left them and hired every
one that came to them; men
that in all their lives had never
had any experience on an engine; men OF
drunken and vicious habits; men that could
not get employment in any honorable posi-
ton or under any circumstances other than
an emergency such as To- exists on the @.
To s~ubstantiate these statements we are
willing to court investigation and have been
counting such investigation ever since the
strike commenced. The investigation at
Creston, Iowa, Aurora, ILL.,, and other cities
along the line of the G. have already proven |
the truth Of the charges we have made.
namely, the men employed by the c.
B. d O., as engineers are wholly incompe-
tent and untitled for the positions they
now hold, and would not now be recognized
by any other railroad management. We
further state it is not a question of wages
that is prompting the @. management in it's
upon the men formerly in it's en-
ploy, as they are now paying the new men
chat far exceed the wages paid the
old men. In addition tuereto they are pay
ing pilots for each train the compensation
Of first class engineers. y y ri
The strike is not off and never will be
Jailed off until the schedule is signed. and
then a only be called off by and with
The full consent of the Brotherhood. We
ire getting our support, and there is no
LANCER of our support being cut of, not
Vithstanding the reports of the company
md Paul Morton to the contrary. We are
'ut to stay and are sure OF winning, and if
necessary we will sink the Burlington out
i sight or put her into the hands of q re-
eiver.

Born in almost the infancy oil the active
