1t is an undeniab!e fact that Robert S.
Ford of Sun River, the Democratic caudi-
date for senator in Cascade county, was
bitter opponent OF the formation of Cas-
cade county. 1t is also notorious fact
that the "Hon." Bob was the head and
front Of the anti-county movement and
devoted all of his time and money to
working up sentiment against the new
county. In order that the voters of Cas-

FIRST MILITARY BALL IN GREAT
FALLS.

A more delightful party of convivalists
never assembled in Great Falls than their 1
friends who responded to the invitation
Of the Gibson Light Guards, for mill
tary social in Kingsbury Hall last even
ing.
The occasion was opened by twilight |
street prrade which, in the
'Calm, still night and the moons pale light"
was witnessed by numerous ussemb,age
of our citizens.
The spirited and very satisfactory drill
closed with brisk exercise in the man
ual of arms, under the personal direction
of Capt. Jensen, which evinced much i'm
proyement in the handling Of their splen-
did new Springfield rifles; after which
the company marched to their hall,
where the competitive drill, previously
announced, for au elegant gold medal
| came off.
The competitive drill was earnestly
contested and was finally reduced to two
members-Privates Lew Perkins and
las. G. Knapp, which was ultimately de-
cided in favor of Knapp.
| The ball commenced Immediately after
the close Of the competitive drill; and a
gayer, more fra:ernal and happy COM
pany never filled floor at the call of the
master Of ceremonies.
The music was furnished by Gibbons
excellent string band, with Frank Erwin
es prompter.
Company A, Gibson Light Guards, NJ.
N. G., have the honor of inaugurating the
first military ball in Great Falls and the
wish of every gentleman and lady present
is that it may not be the last.
A brilliant feature Of the occasion was
the appearance Of the company in their
new full dress, handsome uniforms.
| 1t must be apparent to our citizens that
Capt. Jensen has succeeded admirably In
infusing much of the genuine military
spirit into his command. The members
are drawn from our most promising young
men. 1t is particularly noticeable, also
that there are neither dudes nor loafers
among them. They are gentlemen in the
true sense Of the word-men who, upon q
call to arms at an hour Of their country's
need, would march valiantly to the front
to defend their homes, their families and
our free institutions from either foreign
invasion or domestic foes.
Such was the multitude present 1t wa'
impossible to obtain a list Of the guests
and it is too late for us this morning tt
print the roster of the company.
The military program issued for tht
occasion was printed in the LEADER Of
flee, and it was the most elegant speci
men Of the topographic art yet seen il
this section. 1t was creditable both t.
the guards and the Office in which it wa
;. executed.
: Our citizens are justly proud of tn
;, Gibson Light Guards. May they contin
- ue to advance in the art militaire, unit
each gallant officer shall attain the epau
lettes and every private in the compan
. be found worthy Of a commission.

Whnt One Of the Traction Companies De-
posits In Hard Cash-The Returns From
Thousands of Fares.
1t may not be generally known that q cab
containing from s., 900 to $1,000 in cash
makes its way at noon from Penn avenue
along Sixth and Market streets to N.
Holmes & Sons Bank each day, except
Sunday; but it is true. The money is what
the dear public pays in nickels and dimes to
the whfte-capped conductors on the Citizens
traction line
As each car stops at the Cecil alley termi-
nus the conductor goes into the Offices and
does promptly in a few moments what it
takes many other persons long time to do
settles up. The receiver notes the num-
Der OF the car, the amount, etc., and is ready
for another prompt paying customer. When
the days business is over he finds that there
is accumulated before him quite sum, and
most of it in that cold, hard form so objec-
tionable and yet so pleasing. Coppers,
nickels, dimes, quarters, halves and dollars
lie piled up before him, while there is also
good stack of paper money.
At noon a cab is brought around, the
money piled in and is taken to the bank
named. On Monday two days receipts are
haulsd of, and as Sunday is not at all a bak
day fSr the cable cars the value of the cab
load il somewhat larger than usual. As
one ffhe conductors said, Business must
be picking up, for they used to carry the
money p the bank"
On the Penn avenue cable line there are
at presert running about 20 yellow cars and
~ red cats. A conductor of yellow car
says that le will turn in an average OF $25
daily, while gentleman on a red car said
he punched about $37 worth of holes in
slips every day. This makes total of
about 81, 300 which is considered an aver
age days bttiness. The Sharpsburg horse
car line is not included in this.
One OF the conductors on the line, who
has been riding on Butler street for six
years. said that he kept record OF the num-
Der of passengers he carried. During the
first year after the introduction of the regis
ters he collected nickels for 265. 900 persons,
and in 1S months was responsible for the
care and cash Iof 450, 900 passengers, thus
showing an inctease of about $4,000 over
the previous six months.

Arrangements.

Meeting Last Night to Make the Final
Arrangements.
The members of the Randall Club held q
meeting in the clubhouse, on Sixth avenue,
last evening, and made the final arrange
ments for their fete champetre. to be given
at Silver Lake Grove this afternoon and
evening. From the reports received last
night the affair will surpass anything the
club has yet given. The supply of invita-
tions has been exhausted, and it was almost
impossible to get one last evening.
At 1 o'clock this afternoon the members
will assemble at the club house and march
in a body to the Union station. They will
parade over the following route: From
Sixth 10 Grant, to Fifth, to Liberty, to
Union station, where the cars will be
boarded for the grove. the parade will be
under the command of General P. N. Guth-
rie, ex-Adjutant General of the State, and
will be headed by the Cathedral Band.
The grove at Silver Lake has been
gorgeously decorated for the occasion. The
grounds have been put into the best
possible condition and there is nothing lack
ing to make the fete the event of the season.
Gernert & Guenther's full orchestra will
discourse dance music on the large dancing
pavilion and the brass band will render
promenade and operatic selections on the
lawn. In the evening there will be fire.
works display and balloon ascensions.
Prominent visitors will be present from
surrounding towns, but there will be no
speech-making.

Possible ReaIIofmenr of Space, and the
Band WrnnEie.
At the Exposition managers meeting
yesterday $780, was voted to Mr.. Mar
shall on his Power Hall contract. 1t was
decided that those having space allotted to
them be allowed to commence the rough
work around their stands, such as building
platforms and so on. Manager Johnston il
also anxious that all persons who have been
allotted space. and who may have changed
their minds and do not intend to use it, to
notify him, so that the space may be given
to others who are waiting.
Prof B. Weiss, leader of the Great West
ern Band, called on Manager Johnston yes
terday in reference to the action of the Ger
man Trades Assembly, taken at their meet
ing last Sunday. The Professor reviewed
the trouble at the County Centennial that
resulted in the members Of his band resign
ing from the M. M. P. U. He denied that
the band. as an organization, had been ex-
PEELED from the union, but said they were
all members of the Allegheny County Mu-
sical Union, an organization composed Of
artists in the profession.
Mr.. Johnston told Prof. Weiss that the
Great Western Band had been engaged on
its merits as musicians, and not as members
of any labor organization. As the band
holds life membership in the Exposition
Society, it is likely it will be retained.

A GUINEA PIG FARM.
Capitalists May Engage in Business
Breeding the Pets.
A STOCK COMPANY TO BE FORMED.
The Demand for Them is Expected to Come
From Physicians
WHO THINK THE ELIXIR A SUCCESS

There is talk Of scheme to form COM
pany in this city for the purpose Of breeding
and raising guinea pigs on an extensive
scale. The idea is to organize stock COM
pany, buy piece Of land and breed the
little animals so as to secure their tissue,
to be used in making inject ions into the
human system according to the Brown
Sequard discovery for renewing or stimu-
lating of life.
The capital stock of the company, if
formed, is to be $4,000. They intend to
lease piece of ground at once and begin
thousand of the pigs will. in that event, be
brought from Norway and Sweden, where
the best breeds of the world are to be found;
the farm will be stocked with them, and, as
soon as the young ones are raised, the older
ones will be marketed to physicians and
others who desire their discriminating tis-
sues.
The above information was given q DIS
PATCH reporter yesterday, and 1t is very
A gentleman who is well-known on account
of his readiness to go into any promising
scheme, approached Major Howard Morton
and asked him to take some stock in it.
The Major asked for the prospectus of the
company, and, as soon as it
is finished, he will consider
the matter. Some people, when spoken
to, thought the scheme was a joke, but the
gentleman who is working it thinks other
wise. AT present he desires his name to be
kept out OF the matter. He has the utmost
faith in the Brown-Sequard discovery, he
says. snd thinks the supply of guinea pigs
will run short within a few months. For
this reason he is agitating the idea of FORM
ing the company to aid them.
The guinea pigs used by the Pittsburg
physician who has been making the expert
ments cost 81 each. They are very difficult
to raise, except on large farm, with uni
form treatment. when they thrive. They
feed on cabbage, potatoes and all kinds of
vegetables. In the city it is extremely hard
to raise them. as they are very delicate.
Considering the price and the fact of their
being as prolific as rabbits, the gentlemen
in the scheme say they see big money
in it."
