Mr.. Chss. A. P%illsbury. the great flour
king Of Minneapolis, came over from Butte

tho Broadwater. He IL accompanied by
Mrs. Pilslbury, John and Charles and Miss
Pillsbury, Of Minneapolis. They camo over
the Great Northern a few days ago to visit
Montana. and are now on their return. after
q pleasant trip. Aside from building the
greatest flour manufacturing establishment
IN this world, Mr.. Plllsbury has been an ac-
tive and useful man in the political circles
Of Minnosots. He served Lis district In
tho state senate for ten years and would
probably pass the remainder Of his life in

qualities of leadership. Mr.. Donnelly has
a gift of kesn wit and burning sarcasm.
He is capable Of discussing q great public

though he seldom follows this line in do

Physlca, Culture Classes.

Mrs. Helen Stafford will open a day class
for a course of instruction in physical Gull
ture i'll the Presbyterian church parlors in
the Denver block this afternoon at 2 Pollock.
The evening class will commence Thursday
at 1880. The terms for each course will be
3d.. AS taught by Mrs. Stafford the system
is designed as a strengthening and curative
one, and in that respect takes precedence
over the beauty system. There are no
dumb bells or other paraphernalia, but dur
ing the course every muscle is brought into
motion and each member of the GLASS shown
how to properly exercise. In the system
there are headache, backache. catarrh and
indigestion cures. Mrs. Stafford comes to
Helena highly recommended, and there is
no doubt she will meet with success.

A Fine Piece of Work.
Among the many fine pieces of decorative
work that have been done this season, w
can mention with pride the rooms of the
Rainbow club of Great Falls. The reading
room is frescoed in olive and gold, with q
handsome frleze on the Japanese order.
The dining room walls are papered with an
imported paper of red and gold, the ceiling
is frsscoed in colors to harmonic. The
card room is frescoed in dove colors, with
a fve-foot frieze of conventional figures,
the ceiling in a lighter shade Of the same
color. The parlor is done in blue and silver,
making 3 very fine effect. The billiard
room walls are tinted with a dark rich terra
Gotta with a scroll frieze one yard wide. The
ceiling is of a lighter shade, with a center
piece of sunbursts in irridesoent gilt over
each table.
The rooms, when furnished and fitted IN
on the night of the opening, caused CON
siderable comment. The decorating was
done by the firm of o. j. Holmes, who gave
the work his personal supervision and &C
complished a fine result for the amount of
money expended.

The facilities of the present day for the

to the material welfare and comfort Of
mankind are almost unlimited and when
Syrup of Figs was first produced the world
was enriched with the only perfect laxative
known, as it is the only remedy which is
truly pleasing and refreshing to the taste
and prompt and etfectual to cleanse the

at any time, and the better it is known the
more popular it becomes.

"While the camp was being plum
dered," writes Mrs. Davis concerning
the capture of the Confederate presi-
dent, "there was a shrek dreadful to
hear. and our servants told us it came
from poor creature, who, in prying up
the lid of a trunk with his loaded mus
ket, shot off his own hand. Out OF this
trunk the hoped skirt was procured,
which had never been worn, but which
they pretended to have removed from
Mr.. Davis person.

have been worn on our journey, even
by me, without great inconvenience.

one in the trunk. I have long since

Little Marshall P. Wilder, the IA
nous merrymaker. is perennial and has
a humorous skit for every hour of the
day. This is one of his latest. illustra-
tive of an Englishman's appreciation of
humor:
Il have been in England and I have
studied English humor. Its funda-
mental principles are not related to the
American article that raises a cyclone
of laughter. An Englishman was
dining at swell hotel out West, and
after he had finished his regular dinner
he asked for sweets. A waiter from the
Bowery had gone West for employment
ard was waiting on the particular table
at which the Englishman sat.
And phwat is sweets, sur?" asked
the waiter.
"The Englishman finally explained
that he meant dessert, buildings, etc.
Weave apple and mince pie said
the Bowery man.
Give me mince pie
"'What's der matter wild der apple
pie p asked the waiter in hard, I-don't-
care-a-continental tone of voice. Many
heard the remark and laughed.
"An hour later happened to meet
the Englishman and he asked me if 1
heard the waiter ask him what was the
matter with the apple pie. I said Yes.
Then the Englishman naively asked
me-:
"'Well, what was the matter with
the apple pie?'"

"Jossing" u Soul.

In San Francisco few days ago Sing
Song, priest i'll Chinese josshouse, was
arrested on the charge of cruelty to ami
mails. He was found on Washington
treet,wearing square hat and long
robe. He was making horrible noise
by beating cymbals and ringing bell.
Near by he had white duck in a tub Of
water with its legs tied together 80
that it could not swim. When asked
what his performance meant. Song said
that Chinese woman had died in the
house which he was in front of and he
was trying to '.joss" her soul into the
body of the water fowl so that when it
died its spirit would carry the woman's
soul off to the tlowery kingdom beyond.
He was very indignant at being arrested.

Webster, the ablest political economist
in America at that time, q thinker far
in advence of his age, was almost alone
in insisting upon taxation. The popular
feeling was expressed by delegate in
Congress, who asked. with unspeakable
scorn, why he should vote to tax the
people, when Philadelphia printing
press could turn out money by the
bushel. But indeed Congress had no
power to lay any tax save through
acquisitions upon the State govern

end of the year 177S the paper dollar
was worth 16 cents in the Northern

in 1880 it's value had fallen to 2 cents,
