WALKERTILLE;S MYSTERY.
Strange Actions off Dog Point to q Tragedy
I'm the Badger State Shalt.

Strange Actions of Dog Point to q Tragedy
i n the Badger State Shalt.
Considerable excitement existed in Walk
erville yesterday on account Of an, as yet
undiscovered mystery connected with Ions
unused mining shaft. For six days past
men passing that way have noticed the
strange persistency with which a dog re.
manned near the top Of the shaft Of the
Badger State, a mine that has not been
worked for a couple OF years, lying half a
mile northwest OF VAUDEVILLE. Efforts to
drive away the dog proved useless, and
when anyone came near it, the poor beast
would betray great anxiety in it's dumb
fashion, running round and looking down
the shaft.
The matter became the subject Of COM
ment, and it occurred to some finally that
the dog must have reasons for it's strange
persistency IN remaining there. Action was
taken yesterday by a party OF men who
went out to endeavor to solve the mys-
terry. A walking cane was found neal the
shaft, but as yet no one has recognized it.
The shaft is $50 feet deep, and a descent
to the bottom was decided on. but when
sixty feet down it was found that the rest
Of the ladder had fallen away, 30 that
further descent by this mean is impracti-
cable at present. The men returned little
wiser than they went, but an effort to
the bottom will be made to-day. 1t
is supposed that some one has fallen down
the shaft, and that his dog, with canine
remains at the mouth, refus.
ing to leave until it's master returns to the

THE New York Mail and Express" il
quoted as saying that ut was not by &C
cident but I'm pursuance of a steady plan
that the President selected for Cabinet
officers from such old Union soldiers az
General Noble, General Tracy, Colonel
Redfeld Proctor and General Rusk." The
Republican organ that quotes the above
sentence a~pprovingly, neglects to explain
whether it was by accident that the
claims Of such a battle-scarred veteran as
Colonel j.. d. jerks of Butte was ignored
by the President, and preference given to
one who never smelled gunpowder, and
whose principal recommendation was
that Of Gen. Charles s. Warren, National
Republican Committeeman, and Russell
b, the son of his father. 1t can hardly
be denied that Colonel jerks would have
made a good Marshal, and his indOrse-
ment by the G. A. R. Of Montana and the
Past Commander Of the order In the
United States would, it seems, have been
sufficient to secure his appointment over
that Of one who made no claim to mill
tary distinction. How do the Republi-
cans explain this direct snub to the G.
A. R.?

THE building and loan association ID
one of the most useful organizations the
workingmen and women Of this country
ever connected themselves with. 1t is
not only a superb means of saving and
sccumulating earnings, but it has been a
means Of building thousands Of families
houses of their OWL. We are led to make
these remarks, at this time, by reading
in the Billings papers an item to the
effect that the Interstate Building and
Loan Association Of Minneapolis had just
placed 200 shares of stock among Bill
ings citizens. A local board was organ
lied, and the movement will doubtless
result in bringing considerable Eastern
capital into Billings. Butte has an ex.
celient association Of its own.

An American Monte Carlo.

It was learned from a private letter from
San Francisco, last night, that the scheme
for establishing an American Monte Carlo
in Mexico near the California border has
not fallen through. Agents are very
actively engaged in the West forming q
stock company. 1t is proposed to make it
a health sanitarium as well az q gambling
resort. The idea apparently il to offer un-
rivalled facilities for invalids to blow in
their last days on earth, along with what
ever money may remain in their pos
session, amid splendid scenery and
the highest degree OF artificial COM
fort. There is to be a Casino, spacious
lawns, q magnificent hotel, and all the big
table games will be run under precisely the
same rules as those which govern the play
.rs at Monte Carlo. The Mexican author
tiles at first refused the application Of the
company, but since then influence has been
brought to bear upon them which promises
to be entirely successful. With it's athletic
club and it's neighboring Monte Carlo. San
Francisco will soon be the Mecca Of all the
sporting men OF America.

The Public Library Benefit.

On Friday evening the benefit arranged
for the Public Library will be given at ths
opera house. As already explained, the
trustees have undertaken to raise $40, 600
when they will have that amount doubled
by the gift Of a private gentleman of this
city. Among other means to attain that
end this benefit has been devised. It's chic
feature will be the appearance Of one OF the
best dramatic readers N impersonators in
the country in the person OF Miss Abbie A.
Birdsall. She comes here Endorsed by the
highest testimonials from the most compe.
tent critics OF the East, and a treat is in
store for those present at the opera house
on Friday evening that cannot be excelled
in interest anywhere. Her hold over an
audience, includes every mood OF passion
and patbos. Her representations are
wildly realistic and she sways her audi.
ence with the power of a magician. The
programme is pleasantly varied with vocal
and instrumental selections and will vel,
repay attendance at the benefit.

Another Tower of Pisa

Used monument in the Champs de Mars il
said to have been lately competing with
the famous leaning tower OF Pisa The
rumor wa spread that the nineteenth.
century Babel has been seen to oseillase
slightly toward the left and right, no one

Eifiel and his constructors admit the pos.
sibility Of q slight deviation OF the axis Of
the tower, but they are firmly convinced
that the iron ediice 10 as perpendicular IS
the firm stone foundation on which it
rests. They contend that even if the
tower deviates the accident would be oil

strong basis OF masonry, but on q compli.

ground on which the tower rests is NO more

composed is sufficient to insure its safety.
