WHETHER the adjustment yesterday
made for the resumption of business over
the Montana Union was for the purpose
of letting Ross out easy" or not, does
not SO much concern the public as does
the fact that business is likely to be re-
sumed over this line at once. Mr.. Cole,
who takes Mr.. Ross place, temporarily,
is kindly spoken Of by all, and he will
doubtless try to treat the men humanely
instead of tyrannizing oyer them at
every opportunity. 1T is to be hoped
that, in the future. differences will be
adjusted without p~aralyzing the business
Of a great community.

Where Women Are Barred.

Denver Tribune: While talking on this
subject it may be interesting to say that
there is a mine near LeadvilIe into which
women are never admitted. If a woman
were permitted to enter this mine l believe
every last man on the premises would quit
work. The mine had In accident for every
woman who has visited it. Immediately
after q woman has been admitted some
mishap, with damage to property or life,
has followed. Hence the superstition OF
the miners.

THE COUNCIL AND THE SUFFERING
GAMES.

As9
The members of the Butte City Coun-
ell owe it to themselves, to their families,
to their constituents and to the good
name Of the city 10 act firmly and justly
tonight, in their dealing with the sure
thing games.
The people want to rid the city Of this
vice.
II is the disgrace Of the city. The
r0pers-in are on the alert to rob every
miner, every ranchman, every woodman,
and every individual who comes to town
with a few dollars in his pocket.
1t is not creditable that the Aldermen
of this city have not already given the
long ago. The sure-thing gambling dens
police authority to GUST these providers
are the breeding places OF sneak-thieves,
burglars. highwaymen and murderers.
When the games are not paying well, the
operators, or at least hangers-on Of the
games, sneak around the city daily as
well as nightly, robbing all whom they
can catch unawares, or openly assault
people on the streets.
1t is high time the city authorities
stepped in and asserted their pOwers-if
they possess any--and not only refuse to
license new games, but direct the police
to close up those now existing.

The people of North Dakota are de-
termined to do what they can to be adj
mitted into the union under the title of
North Dakota. That territory ought to
have been admitted long ago. Those
whose memories are not too short know
that the people of that rapidly growing
section have been clamoring for admis-
sion during the past decade.

WORD has been received at Chicago
that Tascott, the alleged murderer of
millionaire Smell, has been captured
again. There is nU.s Il reward of S2O.-
out for his apprehension, and it
would seem that the Pinkertons ought,
for that sum, to be able to fasten the
crime on some poor wretch, whether
guilty or not. The latest find" has an
element of improbability in it, which
ought to be apparent to anyone. except

Hunters Taking the Field,

Says the Virginia, New, .'Chronicle";
Since the late storm ducks and geese are
said to swarm on Washoe Lake and tn
Carson Sink. Numerous hunting parties
have left for those localities in the past
two days, and the prospect of the market
being glutted with game is very probable
should the aforesaid parties be fortunate
in bargaining With Piutes for the spoils Of
the chase. Last Sunday a buck deer,
l3o pounds dressed, was killed BY
a "a ncher q short distance west OF the Five
Mile House.
