The Chesapeake and Ohio have quickened
their trains between Richmond and Nor

The rush at the New York Dry Goods
Store since the commencement of their
great reduction sale is beyond anything of
the kind in the history of dry goods in
Helena. The proprietors report an i'm
mense business and a difficulty in handling
the crowds of purchasers that daily visit
their emporium. Said one lady: | have
heretofore selected from catalogues and
ordered from the eastern markets, but 7
have discovered that there is no longer a
necessity for this, as I can purchase goods
at shorter figures ct the New York Store
and also avoid the disappointment of mis-
representing catalogues. Their immense
stock, she continued, is not only yery COM
plete, but of the most select and Of the
highest order of novelties. Hence one has the
advantage of making ones own selections
without fear of inferior goods being sub
stltuted. Their establishment is conducted
on tho highest business principles and de-
cotun and their special offerings have ever
been OF the strlctest integrity, which has
gwen to the New York Store its great name
or the finest. the cheapest, and the best.
Ihelr decided success in this, their grand
est clearance sale, is we'll merited and wa
predict for them in their future business
almost the exclusive control of the best
trade of Helena and Montana. We are re-
queated by the proprietors to mention to
the ladies that by calling in the forenoon
they Will avoid the afternoon rush, thus
giving more time to make their selections.

A Popular Hotel Under New Management
and q Different system.
Messrs. Schwab q Zimmerman, who have
run that popular hosiery, the Cosmopoli-
tan, for SO many years. nave leased the
house to Messrs. Garrett & Burgard. MIR.
Garrett has been connected with the hotel
for about four years, and is very popular
with the travelling public. He will have the
management of the house. The new pro-
prietors will make a number of improve
ments, and will change the house from the
American to this European style. A plate
glass front will be put in and changes made
in the office and billiard room which will
largely add to the convenience of guests.
Until the first of August the house will be
run on the American plan, though the new
management take charge tomorrow.
After Aug. l, rooms will be let to guests at
80, Is cents and 81 a day. Between now and
that time private rooms will be put in on
the second floor, and the present dining
DOM fitted up with boxes. The cafe will
be run night and day, the design being to
run a first class European house. Messrs.
Garrett d Burgard have a five years lease.
There are eighty rooms in the house and
there is every reason to believe that under
the new system the Cosmopolitan will con-
tinue to be the most popular house in Hell

Runnells was overjoyed. He went to Geeen

enough, Strathmeath won, and WOE in easy
