A Soap Bubble,

ga Soap Bubble" Company made
decided hit in the Opera House last
evening. The audience was an ap-
preciative one and it was kept in a
roar all evening. Lessee Proctor, of
the Opera House, with Manager Che
net, sat through nearly all of two acts
of the play, land none laughed heartier
than they did. E.J. Connolly, "the de-
tective who never detects" is very,
very funny as the barber aud original
in his general business and very good
in his topical songs. Messrs. Burton,
Rowland, Rawlins and Mack each do
their share to please in action, vocal
ism and fun. The "Soap Bubble"
Quartette was recalled three times. as
i deserved for its singing is excellent.
Dolly Dodge is pert, pretty, an excel
lent singer and dancer and pleasing
in every way. Miss Virginia Ross is
a good singer and pleasing lady, while
Miss Florence Germaine does excel
lent business and is a good singer.
The barber shop scene alone is funny
enough to make one laugh for a week.
No one should miss the "Soap Bub-
ble' this evening. They can drop in
any time and begin laughing. This
afternoon Connolly and company are
making the orphans happy, with
hundreds of the school children and
many older people.-Utica, N. Y, OBJ

The Fun Makers,

Messrs. Murray and Murphy and
their company, eight persons in all,
made more fun for their audiences at
the Grand Opera house Saturday and
Sunday nights, in the play "Our Irish
Visitors" than has been the good
fortune of any company visiting us
this season. From the rise to the
drop of the curtain it was impossible
not to laugh at the comicalities of the
two men. They also have a good
cornet player in the person of Miss
Addie BoOse, and fine dancing SOU
brette in the form of Miss Ada Mel
rose.
"a Soap Bubble" is on the bills for
tomorrow and Wednesday nights.
This is also a comedy play.

A YOUTHFUL PAIR

Slip Out for a Walk and go and Get
Married.
One of the Methodist ministers of
this city performed rather romantic
marriage Saturday night The affair
has been kept secret, but the LIGHT
reporter heard of it a few minutes
after the occurrence. The facts are as
follows:
Miss Ella Hopkins, known by her
stepfather's name Davis, has with her
grandmother, been visiting friends
in this city for the past three weeks.
They live at Fort Davis. Miss Davis
is not yet Is years of age. Shortly
after arriving here she met Mr.. w. NJ.
Caraway, a salesman for Young &
Arnold, who is hardly q years of age.
1t was love at first sight, and they
wanted to get married ri ght away,
but of course met with strong opposi-
ton. Finally, however they gained
the old lady's consent to 60 with them
Saturday afternoon and get a marriage
license, on the plea that they would
get married next week. Saturday
night they slipped out to take walk
and were married by the minister
aforesaid, the priest of a Catholic
church they applied to first, refusing
to perform the ceremony. The girl
wife's parents do not yet know of the
wedding.

Montana Republicans.

CHICAGO. October 14.-A special
dispatch from Helena, Mont, says,
Col. Seligman, chairman of the repub-
ican committee announces that the
republicans will certainly have the
legislature either by one or two ma
jority. Official returns from Beaver
head county, elect James P. Bennett,
republican, to the lower house and
Henry Blair, republican, is awarded
the seat from Deer Lodge, by major
ity Of four. Both these seats have
heretofore been counted for demo-
Gratis. The count in Silver Bow coun-
ty of which Butte Is the county seat,
has been completed, but the repu biz
cans counsel have protested coun ting
the returns from the eighth and thir-
ty-fourth precincts. If these pre-
cincts are thrown out, it will
elect nearly all republican coun-
ty officials and seat republican
state senator aud two representa- tives
from this county. The total mem ber-
ship of the legislature is y and by the
above calculation the republicans
have SO and probably 81. The can
vass in Lewis and Clarke counties
(Helena) is still incomplete. The
democrats are alarmed at the outlook.
The Independent, the democratic Or
gan, charges the republicans with an
attempt to steal the legislature and
two United States senators.

His Statement.

w. s. Parker, the ex-soldier, whose
name has been given in the paper SO
often, lately, desires the LIGHT to say
that he is now discharged and has not
skipped out, nor did he desert the ar
my, as he had his discharge before he
left for Washington. Neither did he
embezzle Miss Runge's money, as
stated.
The LIGHT takes pleasure in giving
this, his statement, but will say, it is
queer that a deputy U. S. marshal
went after him clear to Washington
and arrested him, on papers sworn
out in San Antonio, charging simply
Sc duction.
1t is also queer, that Miss Runge,
prior to the birth of her Legitimate
child at the poorhOuse, made no secret
of her statement that Parker robbed
her of 500 Of her money.
She is now at Judge Wurzbach's
house, though Parker has partially
rectiiied his wrong by marrying her.
