time to glare at each other and won
der what In Hades the hated rival will
do next. They are both good fighters
and game to the last, and. since the
"Msnitobs's" rapid projection west,
are bound to have numerous battles
which cannot fail to benefit TIE good
people Of Montana. Some Of your
shrewd capitalists that can build short
lines Of road that are likely 10 prove
valuable feeders to either of the main
lines, won't have much trouble In
selling out at a profit. But I mustn't
leave our legislaturs-as yet IL is too

THE SPECTRE, PROHIBITION,
has stalked through the house, but
none but the "trooly rooral" members
were frightened, aud after . pause 1t
moved on. The most important thing
done during this session, thus far, is
the election OF u. s. Senator TO sue
coed Sabin. Sabin made . gallant
fight, and has lost nothing by the
manly way he took defeat. His sue
cessor, w. ID. Washburn, is an able
man, and will do US credit. The
bribery charges that followed directly
after the caucus nomination were
very amusing. The most wonderful
stories were circulated a. to the amount
of money that was given or offered by
the successful candidate to secure
votes; the whole caucus trembled with
righteous wrath; an investigation
committee was appointed, and, after
carefully turning itself inside out,
1t reported mo evidence to sustain the
charges" What . picnic Diogones

Q u. g. Senator, (which we trust will
be soon) and your candidate will

priceless Legislature.
THE OPERA HOUSE.
regret to say that our Opera House,
which many Of your readers have
seen and admired, is in ruins
burned. and un-Phenix-like, IL will
remain In its ashes, the religious
scruples Of the DsvIdsons, who own
the property. being the cause; but the
fire has proved q blessing 10 disguise,
as two handsome theatres are to be
built at once, and no expense is to be
spared TO make them models Of beauty
and safety; they are to be centrally To-
Gated, and the competition between
the two will result in bringing more
first class attractions to st. Paul, anu
Indirectly Miles City will be bene-
fitted, a. q number Of the companies
coming here 90 further west. At pres
emit the Market House is being utilized
as . temporary play house, and has
been very handsomely fitted up, and
is now open; while II was being gotten
In readiness, q number of companies
booked for 81. Paul cancelled their
dates, rnd what we see 10 not Alto

dramatic company, with Corinns as
the star, and Kate C~astleton's Paper
Doll, are pleasing the public best Of
what we have had recently.
