JOHNSON AND sLAVIN.
The sale of seats for johnson and Slayin's
minstrel performance, to be given Thursday
evening, will begin at Portland Theatre this
morning. The Philadelphia Times says:
1.-The Chestnut Street Theatre opened last
evening with Johnson q Slavin's Ministries
which attracted an immense audience, the
house being packed to the roof. The COM
pany proved itself a splendid organization in
every respect, and we think 1t is not too
much to assert that as whole the perform
ance has never been excelled by any of its
kind given in this city,"
YEoMEN OF THE GUARD.
There was large advance sale Saturday
at Stockbridge's for the performances of the
Yeomen of the Guard, to be given at City
Hall next Friday and Saturday. Not only
was there a grand sale for out of course per-
formances, but the Friday night, "Pops,"
evening tickets sold well. The opera will be
beautifully staged and sung by company
that has no superior in this country. That
there will be crowded houses is assured.
Seats can still be secured at Stockbridge's.
THE TWO SISTERS.
Speaking of the play Of "Two Sisters, -
soon to be given at Portland Theatre, Mr..
Clapp. the well known critic of the Boston
Advertiser, says: The Two Sisters is
worth hundred of the old melo-dramatic
plays"

II is wonderful the extensive practice this emf

confidence placed in any one member of the medi

earned in most substantial way. DIR. Nichols

have no fear of having their names or ailments
exposed The doctor is constantly receiving the
most flattering testimonial from all parts of the
State, none of which are ever published, as he
never betrays the confidence of his patients by

REPUBLICAN CON MENTIONS.
Nomination of Delegates to the Constitu'

Nomination of Delegates to the Constitu'
tional Convention, Last Night.
The Republicans OF the Twenty-second
Twenty-third, Twenty.fourth and Twenty
fifth constitutional districts met in con
~vention last night to nominate delegates &c
the constitutional convention which meets
at Helena, July 4.
By reference to the appended list of dele

be, were, with one or two exceptions, yeri

Following are the delegates nominated:

Twenty-third district-William Dyer and
George NJ. B%ourquin.
Twenty.fourth district-George Haldorn
and F. E. Sergeant.
Twenty-ffth district-C. S. Warren and
Thompson Campbell.
The nominations in the last mentioned
district were, no doubt, a surprise to d ma
jority of the Republicans of that district,
especially SO far as one Of the candidates is
concerned. 1t was generally accepted that
ex-Mayor Hamilton would be a candidate,
notwithstanding the g~entleman's persistent
assertions to tho contrary. 1t was he who
nominated General Warren and recon-.

BUILDING .ASSOCIATIUN.
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders Held
Last Night.

The second annual meeting of stock
holders OF the Citizens Building and Loan
Association of Butte was held Monday
evening at the a~ssnciation's Office No. 25,
West Granite street. and a large attendance
was present.
Secretary Kemper kindly furnished The
MINER with the following Information rela.
tive to the meeting and association:
j. 8. Wathey, John Nelson and Oliver
Gardner were elected trustees for three
years; the trustees holding over are: P. A.
Largey, e. H. Irvine, Tor two years, and
William Thompson. NJ. G~anzbeIger and C.
F. Bartlett for one year.
Annual report submitted by the score.
tary showed the association to be in q
healthy and 1ourishiDg condition. The
amount OF outstanding loans exceeds the
actual mount OF dues standing to the
credit Of the stockholders, being the total
amount of monthly instalments paid in,
less amount withdrawn, 1899. "a. The
total amount of loans is $500, and dues
standing on the books $5,S3O.16. The
income from interest alone the present
month will be $S1, which will nearly pay
the expenses OF the association for the
last three months. Interest increases each
month in proportion to the amount oil
additional loans made.
In most OF the eastern local associations
the expense account ia met entirely by the
income derived from ines, admission fees,
transfer fees and profits on shares with
drawn, leaving interest money q clear
profit.
The admission fees OF the Butte a~ssocia-
tion for the last two months have more
than paid expenses. The expenses of the
association are small and few, while those
OF eastern associations, especially natiopal
associations, which organize branch boards
and employ numerous agents, are heavy
and numerous, many Of the associations
setting aside ten cents out of every sixty,
paid in dues, for the purpose OF meeting ex-
penses. Still they make a fair profit.

ca t,se. furthermore, il WIS just and fair.
The aggregate cost OF the proposed i'm
p~royement, several gentlemen said, was, OF

81 deter u great many from endorsing tine
proposition, but when the fact was taken
into consideration that the expense was TO
be borne by the parties directly benehted,
and the individual cost to q lot oWner
was small, no good reasons could De al
yanced against the commuters suggestion
and carrying it into execution. By the com
pletlon of such a system OF sewerage as ID
recommended by the committee, it was
held, every lot benefited by it would be en-
HANGED in value more than sufficient to OF
get all expense incurred by the owner for
construction oil the sewer in front OF it.
The suggestions of the committee are
based upon the principles OF the better

which is found to be both just and fair in

Says the Great Falls Tribune: The
wise provisions Of the federal constitu-
ton have been Of inestimable service to
this country. and are valued as highly
today as when Washington, jefferson
and Hamilton advocated their adoption.
They have stood the test OF time, because
they were based on justice and expressed
formally principles deeply engrafted in
the minds of the American col0nists.
Our people should form their constitu-
ton in q like spirit. They should rid
themselves Of party spirit and lay the
foundations deep and wide Of the coming
state. They shonld. like the founders,
turn to account the experience and wis
dom OF other peoples and other states.
They should rise, as they did, above sell
fish interests and allow no provision that
will favor one man more than another in
iifeis battle. If our people, through their
delegates in convention assembled, pur-
sue this course, their names will be held
In reverence, and q century hence many
millions may unite In honoring them, as
we now join in honoring the founders OF
the American republic.
