The Simple Repository for Stolen Goods
Carried by a shoplifter.

The Simple Repository for Stolen Goods
Carried by a Shoplifter.
Among the bric-a-brac OF which the office
Of the City Clerk is a curious repository,
a reporter was yesterday shown one article
that for it's simplicity and ingenuity de-
serves extended notice. In appearance it
is such a box as tai1ors use to pack suits
for their customers in, of pasteboard.
There is nothing about it to attract notice
in anyone carryingit, and this is exactly the
recommendation it had in the eyes OF
it's possessor. The bottom OF it was cut,
however, in such a way as to
leave q flap through which such unconsid-
cred trifies as it's possessor might happen
to see lying around and take a fancy to
could be inserted with a simple turn of the
wrist while no n was watching him. Tt
belonged to a man named MCGEE, who was
arrested with it under his arm recently,
when it was found to contain q choice
assortment Of silk handkerchieis and such
little odds and ends as he had picked up
while inspecting the goods in various dry
goods stores.
The man is said to be an inveterate
opium iend and to satisfy the cravings OF
his inordinate and unhealthy appetite he
pliers everything be can get his hands
upon. Speaking on the subject yesterday,
a city official said: People have no idea
what q curse this opium-smoking is getting
to be in this country. Anyone under its
influence becomes a perfect slave to it.
Their sense OF right and wrong becomes
blunted and they will stop at moth
ing to crafty their appetite. 1t
is running thousands of people
and is a greater curse than the
evil. You can't prevent people from
using it in their own houses, and that is
where the police are handicapped in their
efforts to suppress it. There ought to be a
enactment against its introduce
ton to this country. 1t is playing the
deuce in this community, and the Legisla-
ture at it's coming session ought to be
strongly urged to enact stringent meas
ures to suppress it's sale here. It increases
the number Of thieves in every community,
and we have plenty Of them here that are
constant source OF danger"

Hun Ku is one OF the pleasantest-face
little Cinnamon to be found in Butte. His
eyes have the almond shape peculiar to his
countrymen and slant i~mperceptibIy up
wards at the side, but they are never with
out an honest, humorous look that makes
him friends at once with every one he ad-
dresses. His features are more regular
than are generally seen among the natives
OF the Flowery Kingdom hereabouts, and
his complexion is a clear olive, in pleasing
contrast with the muddy hue of Chinese
faces OF the lower class. Hun Ku has been
ten years away from the tea-gardens of the
Celestial Kingdom, six OF which he has spent
in Butte. and to say that he has pros
pered during his Btay here liz to put
it mildly. He owns two restaurants FREE
quented by white people, and has besides
a couple OF stores ut which he does a
flourishine trade with his own countrymeu.
But he is not proud. He does not sport
rich silks as a man OF his means might feel
warranted in doing, but dresses plainly il
the conventional blue upper garment, and
wears his jet black hair coiled in a neat
pigtail according to the custom OF the be-
in Confucius.
Hun Kui is 80 however, and he has de.

among the daughters OF his race as becomes

1t seems strange to American ideas that
two people should contentedly enter upon
matrimony who have never seen each
other, never even exchanged photographs,
nor even indalged in the dangerous pastime
OF writing love letters. They certainly do
these things differently in China, and who
shall say it does not, on the average, turn
out as well in tine end?

Death Of a weu-Known Ranchman.

Death of a Well-Known Ranchman.
The Helena independent" says that D.
T. Goodsll, a weil.known ranchman OF the
Prickly Pear valley, died at Atlantic, Mass,
recently. He was on a visit to his daughter,
Mrs. E. II. Train. Mr.. Goodell was about
20 years of age, and had been in ill health
for some time, having had a serious spell OF
sickness last summer. When he sufficiently
recovered he went on a visit to his daugh-
ter, and suffering a relapse it proved fatal.
Mr.. Goodell was an old-time MoDtanian,
removing to Prickly Pear valley in 1866.
He vas married in Geneva, Wis.,, in 1S49
to Miss Catherine Chambers, by whom he
had two children, who survive him, and
who are married and living in the east.
Mrs. Goodell also survives him. His death
will be regrettedby many Montana friends.

THE MINER congratulates Sheriff Hey
from on his noble fight for his rights in
Missoula county, rights which Judge De
Wolf saw clear enough, and which every
other impartial man also must have seen.
The returns from Bonner kept rolling
in, but Judge De Wolf weighed them In
the balance and found them decidedly
lacking in worth. Thus has a little Of
the wrong done in that county at the re-
cent election been righted.

A GENERAL SURVEY
of the existing fashions of the moment,
few differences can be drawn regard
ing them, namely: Toilets very slight
ly trained are worn at informal dinners,
making carriage calls. Demi-trained
toilets in Empire style are very hand
some, made of maple-leaf-Sreen or
reseda, these with folded Empire waists,
snugIy Tapped and plain, stately skirt
draperies. Some of these gowns have
green velvet sleeves and broad velvet
belt across the fronts, folded plastrOn
or vest of chamOis-cOlUred silk, and a
large turn-down collar of the velvet.
Fur trimmings are worn wherever it is
possible for fur band to be placed.
They are the rage iu London ON white
cloth and bridal velvet gowns. The
tournure hides its diminished head, but
it is not so diminished as to be
invisible. Corsages are extremely
varied in style, and none are
wholly plain in effect. The Directoire
and Empire effects are character
istics still prevail very largely, but not
to the putting aside of many other styles
that are quite as popular. New house
and carriage dresses are demi-tralned.
Some are in princess fashion, but with
the back breadths shirred or shocked to
the end of the pointed bodice, and not
in one continuous length, as in the
princess dress proper. Others are in
redingOte fashion, the unde dress and
the Overdrapery both falling on the
floor, about three inches at-the side and
six at the back. Jet and rich silk-cord
passementeries and gold and silver
gimps and galloonS are as fashionable
as if they had never been seen before
this season. Redingotes are imported
in unique and stylish forms, the Direc-
toire, of course, being a leading model.
Wraps are sharply divided into protect
ing neWmarketS, listers, peliSses and
Russian long coats, on the one hand,
and dress wraps on the other, which
are very stylish, very ornate, and eX-
IRENE in style. fabric and price.
