Frame Fer the East Park Street Hsssa
Already Up and Work Progressing
Rapidly. -
Among the many buildings now being
erected in the east part of the city none
looms up more conspicuously than does
the one on the corner OF East Park and
Mahoney streets. The structure is being
erected for Isaac Bechtel by Ward & Gut
ting, contractors and builders, and will bs
used as a hotel when completed. The
frame is already up and the sheeting 10
now being put on. The outside 10 being
finished in what ia technically known as

substantial appearance. In dimensions
the building will be 54x54. three stories
high and will contain thirty.two rooms
and closets. The first floor il divided into
three rooms for an Office, dinins.room and
barber shop and saloon. Back Of the

ALL DOUBTS At AN END
With One Exception the En-
tire Democratic County
Ticket is Elected,
The Republicans Manage to
Save Only the Treasurer
b. From the Wreck.

From Fridays Daily.
Although beginning to be somewhat Of a
chestnut" interest in the result OF last
Tuesdays election continues unabated
and the excitement up to last night was
not much less intense than it was Tuesday
and Wednesday when everything was in
doubt and no reasonable estimate could
be made OF the majorities or minorities OF
any of the candidates. Returns received
up to last night, however, should set aside
all doubts so far AZ Silver Bow county is
concerned. Although very close in some
cases. the Democrats are certain OF every
Office unless it be that of treasurer, which
is generally conceded to the Republicans.
There are some who are still inclined to
doubt the election OF Sullivan as sheriff
but in this it is sale to say they err. As
to the legislative ticket the Republicans
continued to claim two and perhaps four
OF the representatives until the count
was completed in precinct No. 4, Center
vile. when they gave up all hopes. The
Democratic majorities there were so large
that it was impossible to overcome them.
To make matters short the Democrats
have elected their entire county ticket ex .
ceptiEg the treasurer and this Office is lost
by q majority very small, il lost at all as
there are some of the more sanguine who
still insist that possibility OF success ex.
lists even in that direction.

Filson Errops "Chick's" Company Scores
Great Hit.
In the excitement attendant upon the
election and the eloseness OF the contest In
some instances the public seems to have
forgotten almost everything else, a. the
disease appears contagious and affects all
classes and all people. For this reason the
audience which assembled at Msguire's
last night to witness Filson & Errol's Far.
cial Comedy company in "Chicks" was not
as large as it would have been otherwise.
for plays OF that kind are always popular
with Butte theatet.goers and never fail to
draw large houses. The company is COM
posed of very clever actors and actresses,
and the play abounds in farcial comedy
and is certainly funny" enough to please
all lovers OF that school OF the drama.
Some exceedingly good and amusing spec:
ialty work is done before the real play itself
begins and the audience last night took to
it most kindly as was manifested BY the
liberal applause which greetedit 'Chlcks"
is OF different order from the usual plays
OF its nature and is full OF the ridiculous
and humorous aud gives ample scope to
the people who comprise the cast to show
their talent. Those who wish to laugh
and enjoy themselves for q few hours
should not fail to see "Chicks." The de-
feated Republicans especially should see it,
for it will assist them in overcoming the
modification and pain OF defeat. Same
bill tonight and at to-morrow's matinee.

Some Points of Law Raised.

The result OF the first trial OF the Austria
lian system has given rise to several ques-
tions which the local experts in election
law are about ready to give up unanswered.
One is as to the application OF the law
where it involves the intention OF the voter.
In one known instance a voter relied upon
the judges to prepare his ticket, and in the
preparation the Cross marks were omitted
from the right hand side of the ticket. The
voter intended to vote for half OF those
candidates, and 80 exl ressed himself to the
Judges OF election, and it was through no
Iauit of his own that he was partially dis
franchised. The question in this instance
is, Had not the judges the right and was
it not their duty in counting the votes to
correct an error OF which they were con.
sciously guilty?" Another point bearing
upon ''intention" is raised in the cases OF
the many men who scratched out the names
of Objectionable candidates instead OF put
ting cross-mark opposite the name OF each
man for whom they desired to vote. While
the law is explicit as regards the presence
of the ss-mark, the men whose votes
were thrown out because scratched instead
OF crossed claim that their intention was
indubitably manifest, and further because
the first official instructions on the ticket
are to erase instead OF otherwise denoting
a prefer ence. 1t is said to be probable that
some OF these matters will be made the
subjects of legislative action.
There may be added as q matter OF Pc
culiar and general interest that many men
who can neither read nor write cast blank
ballots, and lost their votes rather than
betray their llliteracy to the custodians OF
the polls.
