BUTTE, April E.-John Mcguire Of the
Grand opera house of this city arrived in
town this afternoon from Salt Lake. To-
morrow the sale Of the opera house is adj
vertised to take place. This fact has
much 10 do with Mr.. MaRuire's visit and
II Is supposed that Mr.. Mcguire will cn-
deavor to retain control Of the opera
house. Mr.. Mcguire In looking well and
seems none the worse for the accident by
which two OF his ribs were broken % few
weeks ago. About nm hour after his arri-
val Mr.. Mcguire was seen by a STANDARD
reporter and questioned rs 10 the proba-
BILE disposition Of the opera house. Mr..
Mcguire said: at is too early yet for me
to say what is likely To be done
with the opera house. II is for the people
OF Butte to say that. | have not been able
to talk with the people here yet and so
canno say whether they are likely TO
assist mt in tiding over the difficulty or
not. Tomorrow morning ] shall try TO
see some Of my friends and ascertain
what can be done. I believe the opera
house will he n paying investment. IL

but during In past few weeks il has been
successful financially and believe with
perity Of Butte il will con
tinue 10 he so. havc no
proposition To make TO the public of Butte
at present, hut may have one later. IL
would he well enough for the public OF
Butte To remember, however, that but for
John Mcguire there would have heel no
opera house in this city. | understand
there are lain TO the amount of Sl1 200
against the house, hut some Of these
claims | have since liquidated. so il would
require a less sum than hat to square
things. The an~imadversions which have
been cast on my management are unjust.
Who ever may have taken the credit
of IL Every play that has come to the
Butte opera house has come through
John Magure. ! have signed the contract
for every company and have sent every
company here. ! have not neglected
Butte by any means. / have IL in mind
all the time and give IL the best shows
that could he due to come tins way.
To show what | am doing for Butte, ! will

gagged to come here during the next two
or three months: Lolita. Clara Morris,

BUTTE, April 27.-At 6 o'clock this
evening Officer James Leyden, the giant
of the force went of duty and was in
vited by Joe Perron to mount his bucking
bronco as an easy way to get home. The
bronco was stationed i'm East Park street
between Main and Wyoming. The
officer had no objections to mounting the
steed and having been an experienced
cavalier i'm his younger days was not
aloof.to showing what he could do in the
way of ruling nm unruly
horse. Mr.. Perron led the
horse up with its STAFFORD side next to
the sidewalk. Mr.. Leyden smiled grimly,
said he knew n thing or two about horses
and cows, and that il was safe to fool with
any but the left side. So he wheeled the
animal around to leeward and putting one
hand on the horses neck and n foot in
the stirrup, he was astride the animal. In
an instant there vas an agitation in the
atmosphere. The heels of the bronco
arose In the air and DO pounds OF the best
police body i'm Butte arose simultaneously.
rhe police flesh described an elongated
triangle, a parabola, an ellipse or two, six
hyperbolas and an assortment OF IL mis-
%cellaneous curves, finally landing on his
neck In the middle OF the street. The
broncho reached Meaderville six minutes
before the motor.

BUTTE, April 27.-To-morrow night the
California Opera company will begin its
engagement at the Grand Opera house,
and those who admire light opera will
witness a delightful performance. The
company appeared in Helena the
last three nights. The Journal of that
city says: "The new opera, Said Pasha,'
presented at Ming's last night by the Cal
ifornia Opera company, was a perform
ance which made friends for the opera
and for the company. IL is n of the
funniest of all the comic operas and is
very bright. Unlike some operas of its
kind IL contains no Tom, ON or incom-
~prehensible music, but is replete with
catchy airs. In fact all the solo parts are
particularly pretty and of a class OF music
which will last and not become tiresome.
The California company is good through
out. IL claims no prima donDas but II
does lay claim To the presence OF pleasant
singers who have the ability to act"

Butte, April 27.-SheriT Sullivan re-
turned from Ogden to-day having in
charge Jack Salmon who is charged with
being concerned i'm the robbery Of the
jewelry store Of j. NJ. Donelson Of be-
tween 5000 and 5000 worth of jewelry.
Salmon had been suspected by Mr.. Dom
elson and his description had been sen
around together with descriptions of the
various goods missing. In Salt Lake,
Salmon was recognized n traced to Og-
den. There he was followed to n Jewish
saloon in the outskirts of the city and
captured by two policemen and a de-
tective.
salmon said when arrested that IL he
had had a gun with him he would never
have been taken alive. Forty watches
and 30 chains and a quantity OF miscel-
laneous jewelry were recovered, but the
entire amount recovered up To date is not,
however, a tenth part of the loss. The
goods are still held in Ogden. The dia-
monds are supposed to he mainly in Hell
ena, disposed of there TO various parties.
Replevin proceedings may be instituted
to recover them.
Mr.. Donelson, in answer to the tele-
gsam from Spokane last night as to the
capture of one of the supposed burglars
of his store, telegraphed asking for the
numbers OF some OF he watches recov-
cred on the man arrested. To day he re
ceived a telegram giving the numbers of
six of the watches, which correspondent
exactly with the numbers of the watches
stolen from his store. Mr.. Donelson to-
day dispatched cx-Chief Of Police Lou
Smith to Spokane to look into the case and
get the ma arrested there. Ii is believed
that the burglars will be eventually In.
duced to tell just what they have done
with all the goods and that the greater
part of the property may be recovered.

suffrage, 81 to II.
You ask my reasons for believing in
women's suffrage. 1t seems to me al
most self-evident. an axiom, that every
householder and taxpayer ought to
have voice in the expenditure of the

interests the most vital to human be.

In Germany. it is said, not one of the
leading German newspapers, nor one
German politician, or scientific man of
note, has ever been on the side of equal
rights for women, and the advocates of
woman suffrage in that country find
themselves obliged to quote foreign wri-
ters when they want the support of au-
thorities among men.
BELFAST is the only municipal bor-
ough in Ireland in which women have
full municipal suffrage. The same quail
ifcations are required as for men, and

''For all purposes connected with and

Admit that this is a transition time;
admit that thousand crudities are still
with us, and that there may even be
need of retreat from some Of the posi-
tions taken to-day, it is still certain that
the American woman points the way
that all women must tread. Already
she represents type higher than the
world, save here and there an instance,
work with other women in generous
rivalry. She has measured her own
powers; knows where she lacks, and is
seeking honestly and earnestly to de-
velop each one to it's highest. Tho
sense of beauty, denied by the Puritan,
has been born, and she is learning all
secrets Of form and color. and laying
the foundation OF art, which is the her
itage from the past, aad which, with
liberty for its soul, has before it future
of which as yet we may but dream.
Through every shock Of prejudice, every
changing creed, every falling away of
old shackles of law and custom, the
larger life shows its face divinely fair,
and, by that divinity. compelling the
worship women give. Under all the ma
terialism of the age strange spiritual
forces are at work, and even the most
sluggish feel their power. 1t is no

or woman against man. Side by side,

To no woman on earth is there the

en-. This light of the world is here, and
the torch is held by woman, whose
voice, full and sweet, speaks the WORD
