A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever.

Thing of Beauty Is a Joy Forever.
This truly can be said of each and eyery
thing to be found in grand display now at
the great music house of G. w. jackson,
AZ North Main street. It is matter OF
surprise to our eastern visitors to see such
music house in the west, which is not ex-
celled in quality of goods and character of
the pianos and organs in stock by anv
dealer in eastern cities, the store BEING
literally crammed with the finest goods NE
have ever seen and offered for sale at the
lowest of eastern prices. 1t is small profits
and quick sales in its truest meaning with
Mr.. jackson, who is enjoying the largest
Christmas trade he has ever had before
and no complaint of hard times is heard in
this establishment. Mr.. jackson is a firm
believer in judicious advertising and We
call the attention of our readers to the
magnificent display advertisement in this
mornings paper. Whereas few month";
ago, three men were able to attend to Ali
tho business, now six men are kent bnsv

ping goods to all parts of the countrr.
such is the musical trade with G, w. Jack
son. Composition only increases his busi-
ness, for by his strict integrity and atten-
ton to business, together with free use Of
printers ink. he has gained the Confidence
OF the general public, and az the result
shows that whenever Montanian wants n
piano or organ he usually winds uu AT Jack
sons music house. where one never leaves
dissatisfied. for there are pianos for everv-
body at guaranteed eastern prices. Gail
and see them ia our advice.

No place in the city shows as much life
and hustle as The Bee Hive. 1t is verita-
Bile bee hive. hundreds of buyers looking
for suitable Christmas presents for their
loved ones, and a corps of willing and
courteous clerks ever ready to aid and as
sist them. Messrs. Kohlberg & Co. are to
be congratulated ON their excellent assort-
ment of holiday goods, and they we'll de-
serve the liberal patronage that they are re-
ceiving. They say that their trade is 10 per
cent. better than last year, and attribute
the cause to the fact that. owing to the ex-
perience they have had in past years, cater
ing to the wants of thee public. they have
shipped moro suitable and saleable goods
than heretofore. Messrs. Kohlberg q Co.
are believers in printers ink, and are not
afraid to inform the public of their special
ties through the medium OF the press. We
wish them success.

The selection Of the Sixteen Mile creek

a comparatively easy matter on account OF
the numerous canyons along the line. 1t
will also furnish pretty scenery for those
travelling over the road.
The capital stock of the road is $6,O0O,-

$500, 600 was subscribed when the books
were opened. The road begins on the

Last September the Helena National

As result of the first months business the

The showing was such good one for few
weeks business as to even surprise those
who had been most sanguine of its great
success.
Business has kept on increasing each day
and when the next statement is issued.
which it is expected will be in few DAYS,
both the officers of the banks and its friends
proud of the record it is making. To those
acquainted with the officers of the bank, its
success is not a great surprise. The pru
dent John r. Murphy was for years and
years the leading merchant in the grocery
line in tho state, and while in that business
earned reputation for shrewdness. con-
servatism and close business methods
which made his transition from mer-
camille life to the head of banking
institution but the natural result of the ex-
perience gained in the former business,
Mr.. Murphy's acquaintance with people
and enterprises in Montana is not exceeded
by that of any one in the state, and this
knowledge undoubtedly stands him in:good
stead as the president of the Helena Ma
tional.
In its vice president, Mr.. Shirley C. Ash
by, the Helena also has been fortunate.
Like Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. Ashby has been in
mercantile life in Montana for many years,
as the head of the extensive house of 3. C.
Ashby q Co., dealers in agricultural imple-
ments. His acquaintance likewise extends
throughout Montana, among all classes of
people. Mr.. Ashby takes an active part in
the banks management, and many of its
customers are among those who had deal
ings with him before the Helena was organ
lied.
When the Helena first opened The INDE-
PENDENT referred to Mr.. Frank Baird. the
cashier,as being comparatively stranger in
Helena, but venturing the prediction that
the Montana public would find him an
agreeable gentleman with whom to transact
business. That the prediction has been
verlned any business man in the city will
tell you. Born and raised In the banking
business, the Helena could not have done
better in the selection of cashier than Il
has. Quick to understandings conditions in
Montana, he has united with the knowi-
edge thus acquired his years of experience
as banker, and the result is both to the
advantage of the bank and his own popu-
larity.
The banking house itself is model of
and convenience. and all those in
terested have good cause to feel contented
with the outlook and to thoroughly enjoy
q merry Christmas.''

A Season of Unprecedented Prosperity for
This Educational Institution.
There is an institution in Helena which
cannot complain Of falling OF OF patron
age this year. The Helena Business Col
lege under Prof. Engelhorn's able and ju-
dicious management and as n result of the
good work done by the college in previous
years, has now ON it's rolls 1873 students in
attendance on the day and night schools,
and the prospects are that this number will
be increased to $50 by the first of the year.
So successful has the college been in its
work that it has attracted the, attention of
newspapers all over the state, and a refer
ence to an advertisement OF another page
will show how the press regards it. Not
only this, but business men throughout the
state, who know by personal experience the
thoroughness of its teaching, certify to its
high grade, and there are now on the prin-
leading men all over the state commencing
it. In oil departments thoroughness is the
motto, aud it is for this reason that its
graduates are sought by business houses in
need of clerical assistance. The college ia
the Oldest of its kind in the state, and each
students come from the most remote parts
of the state.
All the branches taught in business
college are given attention IN the Helena
Business College, each department having
at its head an experienced aud reliable
teacher. In the shorthand department the
Pernin system is taught, it being adopted
after a thorough trial and investigation of
the other systems. The reasons it was
given the preference are stated by Prof.
Engelhorn NJ follows: 1t is the simplest
system in the world. 1t is the most quickly
learned. 1t is brief as the briefest, being
superior in that respect to nearly every
system in use. Prof. EnQelhorn has re-
Gently established department for learn
ing shorthand by mail, and he has one
pupil in Texas. one in OHIO and one in
illinois, beside number throughout Mon
tana. Though established but short time,
it is working admirably, under the direction
of a competent person. Any one desiring
to learn short hand, and being unable to
attend the school, should correspond with
Prof. En9elhorn on the matter, as the re-
suits of teaching by mail have demonstrated
the good results which may be obtained.

Helena People Have Found Him Out
About two weeks ago a gentleman came
to this city from the east and was represent
ed as a good piano tuner. Several of our
leading citizens and professors of music
gave him a trial and have found him ont. -
He is rot only good tuner but an artist,
and on action work he is unequalled. He
has given entire satisfaction on some very
critical action work and his tuning is on
the scientific or vibrative plan, and of
course ia the only correct way. One lady
said ''the people of Helena ought to be con-
graduated on having such an expert in his
profession as Mr.. Zimmerman is. A GER
tain professor on playing on a piano thar
he had tuned. said, You shall do all INV
tuning hereafter" He has tuned and re-
paired thirty-one pianos in this city the
past two weeks, with quite a number Of
orders ahead. Among these were Mrs. Dan
Fisk's grand piano. Prof. RomaAdy, Prof.
Vollert, Prof. Nunvar, Mrs. Il. S. Hamil-
ton, Mrs. W. S. Bell, Mrs. IL. NJ. Parchsn,
etc. Orders left at Jackson's music store

and careful attention.

BUT FOUR DAYS MORE.

Santa Claus Win be at aCalklns & Feath-
f erly's Only Little Longer.
But four days more before the morning
to which the children are looking forward
to SO anxiously. Despite it's nearness there
are hundreds in Helena who have not
bought their Christmas presents. To such
the best way to make up for this neglect
is to go early o-morrow to Calkins 4 Feath-
erly and select your presents. This year
this firm laid in a large and varied stock of
holiday goods, suitable for young and old.
Whether in toys or useful articles the de-
sign was to select the best and that it was
accomplished is fully evidenced by the
character Of the goods displayed. And
such display! All the available space in
the big salesroom has been given up to hol-
iday goods, and the effect ON the visitor is
something of the same nature as visit to
the mythical fairy land would produce.
There are toys for boys and toys for girls,
steam engines, guns, express wagons, banks,
hook and ladder rigs, trains of cars, drums,
soldier outfits, dolls with no apparel ard
dolls dressed in the finest satin; dolls that
you could put in your purse and others
as large as q "real'' baby; dolls whose
which only cost nickel; then there are doll
carriages of all prices and styles; sleds, and
the thousand and one things which q iu-
dicious buyer would select who knows he is
catering for large patronage.
For children of larger growth the same
care has been exercised in selecting the
stock as in the case of the children. The
line of leather goods is not only extensive
but also elegant, while there are handsome
bits Of bric-a-brac and stRtuettes which
would appeal to any refined taste. In etoh
ings the stock is most complete. comprising
the work of some of the most noted artists
and the line Of handsome frames is sufii.
GENTLY varied to suit any taste. OF books
there are all kinds and at all prices. If you
want to give a friend a set of his favorite
authors works. you will find it in hand
some bindings, beautifully. illustrated;
while all the poets are there, in the highest
style of the bookbinder's art. In fact, if
you do not know just what to select for
friend, go to Calkins d Featherly's and the
chances are You will fnl just what YOU
want. Anyway, take the children down
and show them the toys.
