GropIug in the Dark,

a question involving the correctness OF
a quotation from the Bible arose in TIE
River Press office this morning, and in seek
ing information on the subject, the alarm
ing discovery was made that some miscre-
ant has either borrowed or stolen the large
81 Bible, which heretofore has always
rested on the, marble top imposing stone
near the proof press. The consequence was
chat the settlement If the veXed question
had to be Indefinitely postponed, as We did
notwish to display our ignorance by sending
out 10 borrow 3 copy. We have hopes
that the Independent will con reach the
coveted verse and thus relieve us OF further
embarrassnent.-River Press.

THE BUILDING 4SSooIATfoN.
Meeting for Election OF Trustees Last
Night-Hopefnl Prospects.

"
About twenty-five gentlemen assembled
last night in S.. V. Kemper's office TO sub
scribe for shares in the Citizens Loan and
Building Association and elect trustees OF
the company in compliance with the law
governing such bodies. Stock was sub
scribed for by all present and the stock
holders elected the following gentlemen TO
serve for the several terms mentioned: For
three years, P. a. Largey, All. Barrett,
3. FL. Irvine; for two years, G.. T. Bartlett,
VIM, Thompson, Meyer Genzborger; for
one year, Chris. Weideman, j.. W. Kemper,
Robert TAFT. The Board of Trustses'will
hold a meeting on Monday evening. The
Association is in shape to begiH work as
soon as the books necessary for the multi
farious operations Of a building assocla-
ton are received. At their meeting on
Monday night the trustees elegt a treasurer
and secretary. There was considerable IT,
terest manifested among tbeose present a.
the meeting, and the election evoked some
lively competition. Everything points to
the success of the assertion, which is
destined to be of great service to the labor
ing men of Butte. As was said last night
by one of the gentlemen present at the
meeting, Butte presents the best field in
the country for this association. Nowhere
are the laboring men so well paid as here,
and consequently have more means to
spend on their creature comforts. Among
the most conducive means to this end IS
ow ing the house a man lives III.
When he has his own house, he
can have it arranged as he pleases
and every dollar he puts on
it in the way of improvement is TO his own
good. He reaps the benefit oft, not a
landlord or house agent. II a man does
not want to build but wants d good savings
bank that is sure and profitable invest
ment besides. the building association pre-
sents unequaled advantages to him. lie
pays in a dollar a share a month and in
five or six years renlizes a hundred per
cent on the sums he has paid il which he
never feels and ca MT realize until he gets a
| big sum in a lump when the association IL
wound up. Men Of small means in Butte
will have an opportunity to realize this
benefit to the community in a very short
time now.

MluknS rOpoEU II Gnc HAMTAou.
There were rumors of a strike in San
Francisco Con. the evening before last
round town, known only to a few on the
quiet, and yesterday JAS. B. Leahy & Co.
were in receipt of a telegram from Saml.
Gaylord & Co., st. Louis, OF a strike of
11O0.ounce ore two feet wide. There a
an undercurrent in Philipsburg yesterday
to the effect that something had t~ranspired
and it was confirmed by the news referred
to. The st. Louis advices received by the
firm reported that the stock there had
opened yesterday at $1.10 bid and that it
jumped up during the morning to $1.32k
by 11:3O and later in the day to $1.65 and
none offering. Of course allnews OF this kind
come from st. Louis, where the stocks held
as the stockholders alone would be in pos
session OF reliable information from the
officers at the mine. Further particulars
are expected to-day, with the chances OF a
boom if the news is definitely confirmed.
Mr.. Leahy himself, when asked his opinion
about the matter, said he thought San
Francisco Con. at anywhere from 81 to 81
AN immense buy. art is" said he, ''the one
good property outside of Granite and BIZ
Metallic" The Granite will soon have it's
mill increased to $50 stamps as q result OF
the action OF the directors at the late meet
ing, who reduced the dividendfrom SO cents
to % cents with that end
in view. By 80 doing, and
with the surplus on hand they will have
about half a million dollars to build a new
mill. This will make their annual dividend
about So, 900. 600, with enough ore in sight
to last at this rate for nearly ten years.
Yesterday afternoon 20 cents was bid for
o. small lot OF Poorman Extension. 1t was
reported that an insider had offered a block

Other shareholders, however, state this was

worth at present showing. There is Q

management is against booming the stock

DR.. Alva G.. Bishop: therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death OF our re-
spOcted friend and co-worker u society

able lustre Upon it's every act, and our
strength is shorn OF a veritable flower oil
manhood, and an earnest defender ofhonor
and right.
Resolved, That the sudden and unex-
pected death OF our loved associate, occur.
ring in our very midst, has cast a gloom
over this society which time alone can
partially remove, and that the expressions
OF coincidence and sympathy rendered by
The Butte Turn Verein at its special session

TO cover the deep sorrow felt by it's mem
oers. That although in this trying hour
the consolation OF man can afford u iitUie
comfort to the widow and the orphan,
Resolved, That the Butte Turn Verein
through the medium of it's committee
whose names are attached hereunto, tender

ALL FOR PURE LOVE.
siIas Lapgdon Gives His Wife a Deed of
His Farin-Sorry Now.

His Farin-Sorry Now.
It's the same old story. and 1t ends
in broken confidence. In 1880 Silas Lang
don bought farm in Alpine township, and
being in poor health he ''out OF pure love
for his wife, and because she was liable to
live the longest" decided the property to he
wife This deed was put on record. In
1888 Silas had become "tougher'n pine
knot" and his wife's health began 10 fade
away like . morning glory after sunrise,
and her early demise was looked for. Mrs.
Lxngdon then, "out of pure love for her
husband" decided the property back TO
Silss. This deed was not put on record.
Last March Mr.. and Mrs. Lsngdon had
botn recovered their woBted health. and ali
was not as merry as a marriage bell in that
household, the pure love" business had
been lost, and Mr.. Lsngdon asked for the
deed, and was very firmly but politely in
formed that the deed had been burned. and
that Mrs. Lsne6on owned that farm IN lee
simple. May IA Mrs. Langdon left home
and refuses to come back, and now Mr..
Langdon brings suit in the Circuit Court TO
compel his wife to execute the deed OF
1858.
