The BrotIscrhood's Prospects.

CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 29.-Albert l.. John
son, who, it is claimed, is the originator of
the base ball brotherhood scheme, thinks
there can be no doubt of it's success,
He thinks the co-operative plan will increase
the chances of good behavior on the part of
the men. e.
They intend tootfer money prizes for the
different places in the league race, and there
will be something more than au empty honor
to play for, as at present.
He knows of b16 fhree league players who
have not pledged themselves to support the
organization, and it only remains to be seen
whether all the men will keep their word.
If they do the necessary capital awaits them
in every city, and he thinks the public will
help those who help themselves. johnson
takes no stock in the threats of the managers
of the old clubs, and has no fear of legal pro-
ceedngs lnjunctions or otherwise, lnterfer-
ing with the brotherhood scheme.

"The trlpart,te contract was with three

stronger than when it made the tripartite Q
alliance and is more able to back It up. If

ment is still in force then 1t must give US all

tripartite was broken by the. withdrawal
of the Northwestern and made worthless by
the building of other lines westward. The
Northwestern was already reaching to Den
yer and might soon start for more western
points. Now instead of of a competitor the
Northwestern becomes close ally, extending
our system to Lake Superior and Chicago,
and, If need be, to the Atlantic seaboard
through the Vanderbilt lines. The North
western takes care of the whole of our west.

bound business for ten years with an arbi-

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.--One of the tallest
Office buildings in America collapsed this
morning. A number Of workmen rushed
out in time to escape being crushed UNI
der the mountain Of wreckage. The
ruined building was fourteen stories high
and was situated at the corner of Dear
born and Adams streets, just opposite the
post office and in the centre of the bust
ness district. The ten lower stories fell
one after another leaning the walls of the
upper floor and roof standing in de-
cidedly shaky condition. In the tenth
story the tile flooring was defective or
was damaged by the natural settling of
the building. About half-past eight this
morning dozen or so of workmen who
were in the basement heard an ominous
cracking and crashing. Fortunately for
them they did not stop to inquire the
cause but rushed frantically out into the
street.

R. B. HARRISON AT GREAT FALLS.
Enthusiastic Reception at the Depot.--The
Davenport & Germ Band Serenade.
The Friend of Montana at Faturethe
Nations Capital.

Last Sundays Manitoba train bore to
the Cataract City the son of the President
elect Mr.. r. B. Harrison, who with some
friends and aids in the new journalistic
consolidation at Helena, rolled into the
depot here about O'clock. As the train
moved up to the platform the excellent
brass band struck up Marching through
Georgia. Our citizens, irrespective Of party,
had assembled in great numbers and Mr..
Harrison, being called for stepped out up
on the platform and said he was happy to
meet so large representation of the
citizens of Great Falls and to he accorded
such a hearty impromptu reception on
his passing through the city enroute to
the capital. He greeted them one and all
as with himself citizens of Montana, which
would soon become sovereign State.
He claimed to be one of the pioneers of
Great Falls because in the year 1879 he
had helped to build log cabin on the
west side of the Missouri, near where the
Manitoba railway shops are new located,
which is a part and portion of Great Falls.
He shared with the enterprising people
here in the honors SO rapidly accumulat-
ing around this beautiful city crowning
her with wealth and popularity. Thank
ing them again for their very gratifying
reception, he retired amid the most a
uproarious applause.
John Mcguire, great western theatrical
manager, was called and spoke stirring
words and proposed three cheers for the
glorious star of Montana, soon to be added
to the galaxy Of our glorious Union.
Mr.. Timothy E. Collins, president Of
the First National bank of Great Falls,
and lifelong and leading democrat, be-
ing called for, advanced and, standing on
the car-step said: "Gentlemen, propose
three cheers for the next President of the
United States. Regardless Of politics, fell
low citizens, we honor the man whom the
franchises Of free and sovereign people
have placed at the head of this mighty
nation. Three cheers for Benjamin Har-
rison, the next president of the United
States" And the moving mass made the
welkin ring with their deafening cheers.
Mr.. George L. Boos, of the Helena
Stock journal II Herald consolidation, being
called for, proposed "three cheers for the
city of Great Falls, the coming metropolis
of the Northwest" And three thunder
ing shouts rIng out upon the evening air
shc force and melody of which must have
reached the precints of Helena.
The greatest enthusiasm was exhibited
by the crowd which had gathered as by
one accord, wholly without formality or
previous notice, and after stop of about
fifteen minutes the train moved away
again amid flourish OF trumpets, drums,
comets, clarionets, torches and the cheers
of the multitude.

SHALL WE HAVE AN OPERA HOUSE &.

An informal meeting of the citizens o.
Great Falls was held at the townsite Of
fee Sunday afternoon. The following
named persons were present: Messrs
George E. Boos, Aldermen Hotchkiss
and Wegner, G. NJ. Webster, H. P. Rolfe,
Jerry Collins, Mayor Gibson and John
Mcguire. Mr.. Mcguire stated to those
present that he desired to put Great Falls
on his list of towns in his theatrical cir
cult, and to bring first-class companies
here. The only objections in the way
were the high license and the want of u
good hall. He said the license demanded
in this city was abont three times that
charged In the city of New York, and in
that city one-half of the license was
turned over to the actors fund, so that
It really came back again to the profes-
sion. He said it was mistaken idea
from the town. On the contrary, they
the people wanted entertainments. If
there was a circus held in Helena, it
took At least hundred men from Great
Gus they would spend ten with the
merchants at Helena: Mr.. Mcguire
stated that as soon as it is known that

rounding towns, and their trade would

and carried away only small portion
from the town. He stated that In Eu-
rope the governments subsidized the the
atres and recognized the benefit Of enter
tainments for the people, and the gov
ernment themselves also contributed
literally to their support. Mr.. Maguire's
remarks were we'll received and made a
favorable impression upon the citizens
and members of the council present.
The subject of public hall or opera
house is one which the LEADER has
often urged upon the citizens of Great
Falls. A good hall could be utilized in
different ways. A piece of ground
5Ox1O0 feet upon Second or Third street
not more than half a block, or there,
abouts, from Main street, could he more
easily procured at the present time than
hereafter. The lower portion Of the
building could be used for stores and Of
fees and the upper part could be made
into theatre. Such building would
bring good rentals and would be a good
investment to all parties concerned. One
gentleman present, while not anxious to
give his ground for that use, provided
better locations could be found, yet he
stated he would be willing to furnish the
ground and take the value of it in stock
in an opera house association, provided
the right kind of company was organ
ized.
