MAKE HEEL ENA ATTR ACTIVE

Why not carry on the work of city i'm
provement in organized form?
Down in New England many towns
have what are called village improvement
societies. The object Of these associa-
tions is the joint corporation Of all citi-
zens in the work OF identifying cities and
securing such laws as arc needed for
municipal welfare. In other words it is
a patriotic organization something like a
board Of trade except that it works on
different lines. There is plenty Of work
for a city improvement society in Hell
ena. We take it, for instance, that the
sidewalk question would DO quickly and
satisfactorily settled if placed in the
hands of an energetic society Of citizens.
the subjects OF parks, shade trees
along the walks and places of recreation
would likewise b. taken up in a way
that would bring about good results.
The necessity Of these improvements
should be apparent to all who are truly
interested not only in adding to the
value Of property and placing Helena
where she belongs among western cities,
but in making life pleasanter and more
attractive to tho residents of the town.
All that is needed to start this work
a meeting for organization. Plans
used by eastern societies could be
easily secured and then progress would
be assured. The work ought to be car
ried on much easier in a town where lib
erality in all things is much more marked
than in provincial eastern comm unitles.
Now then, who will start it.?

THE LATEST PRODUCT OF STATES
II FIT.
Genera Charles Statescraft Warren,
OF Butte, who has produced more anti
convention candidates than any living
MontanIan, and whose prolific resources
are by no means exhausted, now comes
to the front with the name of Col. A. G..
Botkin for governor. The reasons for
Gen. Warren's choice while not piven
may easily be inferred. If the Blaine
republicans in Montana are in the
majority, and if there Is any significance
in that much abused term ga LOGICAL
candidate" Col. Botkin should have the
empty honor of a republican guberna-
torial nomination. OF all the plumed
knights sturdy followers who have
raised their clarion voices, struck deep
est into the vitals OF the Harrison enemy
and most fercely slashed at the demo-
cratic party in republican gatherings,
Col. Botkin is facile princeps. Indeed
we doubt il in all the United States
could be found a man better oquipped
for a blue ~vitrlol, double edged rapier
campaign. We are quite delighted to
see Gen. Warren favoring this style of
battle rather than the Mantle soothing
syrup prescription; his well known pug
n%aciousness in political warfare is
sufficient proof that he is quite in earn
est.
Now on the other hand who ia the
logical candidate OF the Harrison wing?

Our republican contemporaries should
go a little slow in critlclzing the police
department.; they should remember that
not many months ago several men were
held up before the robbers who we're
hiding in the city were captured. No.
body blamed the police department at
that time because the officers we're using
their best efforts to capture the guilty
parties.

FOR STEALING A LETTER.
Susie Keeton Fined SD For Opening 1d'
Burnett's Letter.

Susie Kceton Fined So For Opening Ida
Burnetts Letter.
Tho demi-monie turned out in full
force yesterday afternoon to witness the
trial of Susie Keeton, who was charged
by Ida Burnett with stealing letter
addressed to her and opening it. The
case was tried before Justice Williams
and the court room was crowded, while
a long line of carriages, in which the
Pot-licker Flat delegation came in,stood
on the outside.
w. o. lIardaway appeared as counsel
for Ida, while Capt. Wright looked after
Susie's interests. The lawyers entered
into the case in very earnest manner,
and some of their tits amused the re-
porters so that Justice Williams had to
rap for order several times.
The testimony developed the fact that
Ida's friend sent her q letter which
Susie, who claimed to be drunk at the
time, appropriated and opened. Susie
said that she could not read and that
she thought the letter was for herself.
Ida valued tho letter very highly and
seemed to feel quite badly over the way
the document had been treated.
The Justice fined Susie So and costs,
which she promptly paid.

The snow, which began falling carly
yesterday morning, fell to q depth of
little over an inch, and then fine hail
set in, which continued, with slight in
terruptions, all day yesterday. This
packed the snow down and made excel
lent sleighing.
The lovers OF this kind OF sport took
advantage OF the opportunity offered
and the air for the past two DAYS has
been melodious with the merry iinrle
of sleigh bells.
Sleighs OF all kinds andsdescriptions
can be seen upon tho streets from the
handsome two-horse cutter to the home
MADE box. A rig that went up Camp
Doll street yesterday afternoon created
good deal of merriment 1t was COM
mon dry goods box set upon hand made
runners and was drawn by tired-look-
ing white horse. The box was filled
with boys who were enjoying themselves
hugely, and the fact that they were be-
ing laughed at did not seem to bother
them in tho least.
Another improvisd sleigh that ar
rested the spectators was driven by a
negro. 1t consisted of two runners over
which few boards were nailed. On
top of the boards was camp stool in
which the driver proudly sat. Every
time he checked up his horse the sleigh
would hit against tho animals legs, and
from the manner in which the he acted
it looked as though it was going to kick
the concern all to pieces, but no such
catastrophe occurred.
The present storm is quite general in
its character and extends both east and
