prices, inaugurated two weeks ago. viii

Prices throughout have been reduced
with a determination 10 make them go
and give us room for other lines that are

remnants of Woollen Goods, plain,
striped, and rough effects, will afford an
opportunity to obtain a Dress Pattern

We carry the best makes Of Ingrains.
Tapestries, and Body Brussels, which
we are prepared to furnish at bottom

tn Rednce The Product.

Standards: Mr.. J. B. Haggin, OF the
Anaconda Mining company, who arrived
at Butte yesterday and in this city last
evening, states that the copper produc-
ers of the United States have all come
to the conclusion to reduce their pro-
duct, and that the Anaconda company
on its part will lower its product nearly
fifty per cent, beginning with the first
day of July. After that date no part OF
the product of the Anaconda mines Will
be shipped as heretofore in the shape OF
matte but it will all be reduced to bars
or some other merchantable form.
The large amount of silver and gold
obtained in Anaconda copper renders II
imperative to refine the latter by elec-
trolytic process, whereby. we are told
all the silver and gold is saved, and the
result is perfectly pure "copper" nj 1or
any purpose whatever-either rolling OF
drawing into wire-and in future this

Found Dead in IA Well.

Bozeman Courier: Friday morning
the body of large man, apparently
about 40 years old was found by a
Chinaman in we'll on the lot formerly
occupied by the Union house. The hor-
ritied heather at once notified the au-
thorities of his find and the body was
taken out. The remains proved to be
that of a man roughly dressed, whom a
number of persons had noticed in town
lately. None, however, knew his name.
Wednesday night he was seen in the
Headquarters saloon playing a game of
poker and he was afterwards noticed
with about $50 in his possession. A
flask of whisky, number of uncut
saphires and return railroad ticket to
Manhattan, purchased June 2lst, were
found on his person, but nothing OF
value, and nothing by which he could
be identified. The we'll into which he
had apparently fallen head first, was
protected by an ordinary curbing, was
about fifteen feet deep and had hardly
two feet of water in it. The unfortun-
ate man was seen in an intoxicated con-
dition about $50 Thursday evening by
the city marshal, who told him he had
better go to bed.

Bandmann's Marriage

Among proceedings of the district
court the past week was the case of d.
E. Bandmann vs. Mlllicent Bandmann,
an action for divorce. The plaintiff is a
resident of Missoula county and erst-
while tragedian and leading character of
a successful theatrical company. The
defendant is a resident of London, Eng
land, and in the complaint is accused of
extreme cruelty to the defendant. At
torneys Charles S. Hartman of Bozeman,
L. c. Webster and l. G.. Denney of Mis-
soula appeared as attorneys for the
plaintiff. The defendant permitted the
case to go by default and when it was
called in the district court last Friday a
decree of divorce was granted upon the
showing made by plaintiff. AS sequel
to this proceeding the announcement is
made that the -tragedian will shortly
marry Mary Kelly, an actress who was a
former pupil Of Bandmann at his ranch
IN the Flathead valley, and ho last Jan
uary gave birth to girl baby while en-
route through Idaho as passenger on
the sleeping car Glyndon. The circum-
stances of this event will be recalled by
readers of the ENTERPRISE. The child
was christened Ida Glyndon by the pas
sengers of the sleeper, and the mother
taken to hospital at Spokane where her
identity, which she refused to reveal
was established by Editor Collins of the
Missoula Gazette who was at that time
in Spokane. At first the young mother
claimed to be the wife of a resident OF
Tacoma, but afterward admitted that
Bandmann was the father of her child
When these facts became known Band
mann took Miss Kelly back to his ranch
and promised to marry her as soon as 6
divorce could be secured from his wife
in London, and this promise he will re
deem by making Miss Kelly his wife.

"The staging of the extravaganza is
gorgeous in the extreme. At the rising
of the curtain the audience gazes into

Illuminated only at intervals by sepul

successfully the Janish Idol Temple,
fairy grotto, the floral bower. an artists
studio, Electra's home. and the grand
final transformation scene. Good com
edy work is done by Charles w. Ravel
as tie clown. William Ruge as harlequin,
and Joe Allen as the high priest of the
temple. The speciates are of a high
order, of which Mile. Bertoto. the baby
premier, takes the lead. She is appar-

RED LODGE NEWS
From the Picket.

Secretary Ramsey of the Montana
board of Worlds Fair managers, has
sent to j. H. Conrad & Co.. for samples
of asphaltum.
A letter received from VIM. Nichols,
Mineral Bill states that he has made
a rich strike of native copper on Cabin
creek, tributary of the Sinking Water.
He has left that section for the neigh
borhood of Wood river and will go into
camp and prospect for time.
Dallas Tinckom and Marion Williams,
who returned from the Sinking Water
Tuesday, report that Deputy Sheriff
Trey and party of Arland, started last
Saturday to recover the body of Jack
Bliss, who was killed on that stream two
weeks ago, as chronicled in the Picket.
At the time he was killed it was impos-
sible to move the body on account of the
heavy snow, and it was wrapped in
blankets and placed in safe place until
such time as it could be moved The
remains will be taken to Lander for in
| terment.
A party of Castle miners and prospec-
tors, consisting of P. II. McFadden, Mike
and Pat Walsh, A. Caldwell, j. Goss, j.
Donovan and T. Sullivan, arrived in Red
Lodge Saturday by private conveyance
from the Wood river camp, where they
have spent several weeks in prospecting
but did not regard the outlook as sutfic-
iently encouraging to justify them in re-
naming there during the season. After
resting here few days they departed
for Big Timber, from which point they
will go to the Boulder camp and investi
gate the reported rich strikes in that To-
cality.

Total


From the Harrison column as given in
the above there must be deducted say
five, which may be lost to the republi-
cans in Michigan on account of the in
famous action of the democratic legisla-
ture OF that state in providing for the
election of presidential electors by con-
gressonal districts. This would reduce
his vote to 264, 223 being necessary to Il
choice. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
the republicans can lose the thirty six
votes of New York and still elect their
candidate with five to spare. This mar
gin may be found convenient in certain
contingencies example, if the craze
that seems to prevail among certain re-
publicans in Nevada and Colorado should
cost us the votes of one or the other of
those states.
If we carry New York, which seems
but little short of certain, we can then
| lose Illinois, and either Indiana, Iowa
Massachusetts or Wisconsin. 1t is
scarcely conceivable that the democrats
can carry any of the states last named
at least it is far more probable that the
republicans will carry Connecticut OF
New Jersey or one of the southern
states. In West Virginia Cleveland hac
a plurality of only 506 fours years ago
and in Connecticut BOG. Suppose thai
we overcome these small pluralities We
could then lose New York and indiana
more than a majority. That is situa
tion that would make the three votes o
Montana vastly important, and it is de
sirable that the managers of the repub
lican campaign should be made to real
ize this fact
