The City Hall

The citizens of Bozeman will be pleas
ed to know that the city hall is to be
built, and that speedily. 1t is well
known that when the bonds, authorized
by the people, were offered for sale, il
was learned that better inducements
would have to be offered before capital
lists would take up the bonds. Accord
ingly, the sale has since been postponed
from day to day, and an effort made to
sell the bonds to the citizens of this city /.
This work was progressing when is was
made known that Harris & Co. would
take the bonds if a bonus of 81 PAS werc
given. This was no sooner made public
than Mr.. Tilton took around a subscrip-
ton paper, and in half a day raised the
required amount. Mr.. Cobb then tclc.
graphed the firm at Chicago, and the
bonds will be taken. This is what we
call liberalitv, and it certainly speaks
very well for a town which is called by
outsiders a fogy municipality. And SO
it comes to pass that Bozeman is to have
q city hall.

HOW TO COOK AND CURE A coon

.
ablaze, and stove and all are blown in air to
serve this stupid craze. With clothes on fire
and tortured limbs o cook is cooked in
deed, but q certain euro in such a case is
the real friend in need. For burns and
scalds and blisters too, 1t cures them to
perfection, but be sure to use 1t every time
in accordance with direction. Yes,
strictly in accordance with directions.
Scores Of people daily brought in con-
tact with heat, steam, boiling water and
combustibles are hourly injured by some
mishap in the nature Of o burn or scald,
and thousands have been cured of such
by the best known remedy for the cure OF
pain. The principle of how 1t works ex-
plains itself. II acts o. q counter-irritant
on the surface injured, gently drawing out
the heat caused by the burn, while it
soothes the pain, helping nature in the
healing process, and o cure follows. 1t is
o specific for pains Of this kind and should
be kept handy where fire and steam are.
But as q ~precaution to its use where
serious burns or scalds occur, and that
suffering may not be intensified through
ignorance, read carefully directions for its
use accompanying every bottle. Thu
sands who testify to being cured of burns
and scalds have been 80 guided, and praise
without stint its virtues by which they
have been cured. "Gilbertville, Black

AS TO PROHIBITION.

. The Prohibition or third party move
ment has finally gained a foot-hold in
Montana and the Republican which gave
birth to the new party is sorely exercised
over the prospect which confronts it at
the forthcoming election. The Repub-
lican press has simply regarded the Pro-
hitition whisperings that were waited
over this territory as mere frivolities
that would soon die under the effects of
ridicule and the lashings of the party
whip. How previously it has erred. 1t
failed to look across the border-land of
this territory and see how irrepressible.

tionists have waged their warfare against
alcohol. Sneers and derision it seems,

NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE,

One can but admire the way in which
the average Missoulian sticks up for his
town, and at the same time throws cold
water on all other towns. 1t is II trait
peculiar to the resident of Missoula.
For instance, one of them had occasion
to speak of Bozeman in our presence,
and TO hear him talk a stranger would
have thought that it was a flag station.
But when he worked around to Missoula,
how his jaw worked! Missoula was the
greatest, the grandest, the liveliest town
in the country. 1t was n four time Min
ner from the head of the gulch. Great
fellows, these Missoullans.
~
Another peculiar iinesse about the
Missoulians is their speech-making.
They take to speeCh-making anu oratoiy
lust tine same as a calf takes to milk.
We have run against quite a number of
them, and all are orators. They have a
set way of making speeches over there.
They with, II tell you, sah,"
and end with, II tell you, sah." In a
speech of one thousand words they
manage, by actual count, to get action on
this form of expression ut least five
hundred times.
And still another remarkable thing
about these fellows is their knowledge
about the bOzeman hotels. They are
loaded to the nuzzle with Bozeman
hotel statistics. They seem 10 have
made this subject n special study. And
it is evident that certain ones of them
have staid up very late at night delving
into the matter.
Sometimes they get to talking about
the wonders of the Bitter Root Valley,
and then everybody has to stand from,
under. Their valley wouldn't make Il
first class garden patch for the averaged
Gallalin valley man, and no one here
could be found who would be willing to
pick the stones from it for the whole
Bitter Root, yet, when the Muscular
begins to talk about the wonders OF his
valley, sab, the Gal'atIn valley man is
in doubt whether his valley is much oil
a place after all.
~
We had occasion recently IA indulge
in the hope that Bozeman might be Sc.
lected as the place for holding u con
vention, and with that purpose
upperlnust we proceeded To make thu
demand. W. thought we had it all GU
own way, and didn't propose to max,
any concessions. Bat WI ran against a
