We were shown couple of ostrich
eggs at DR.. Campbell's yesterday. One
was from Arabia and measured TX
inches, the other from the Red sea and
measured 1874 inches, oblate circum-
ference. They were just received from
Mrs. Campbell'salncle, as wedding gift;
decidedly suggestive of large outcome in
their matrimonial investments and incu-
bations and hugely emblematic of the
nest-egg of prosperity.
| The Tribune now claims its annual
contains portraits of Mayor Gibson and
other citizens of Great Falls. This is a
little too bad. Mayor Gibson has al
ways been consistent democrat and has
kept the hand-bill from starvation. There
is no justice or right in fathering one of
those rogue gallery cuts on to our good
looking mayor and other estimable citi-
zens. Such ingratitude should meet the
reprobation of all.

special invitations will be given, and it is

| T. F. Shaw are the committee on general
arrangements and will look we'll after
the entertainment.

one of the best characters on the floor.

chose a similar character, showing the
popularity of the Min er with the ladies
| of Butte
