FIR ON the Union.

FIR ON the Union.
P. A. Larson has been in Mime
apolis adjusting loss by fire for inSur
ance companies. Mr.. Larson'S re-
putation for fair dealing with both
parties has won for him wide range
of business in this line
Arthur Robinson had a little eX-
perience with bronco the other day
being lifted off his feet by holding on
to a halter rope around the neck of
the animal, was thrown lighting upon
one side, bruising one knee and stiffen-
ing him up for several days.
The old gentleman, Martin Amund-
son mentioned in the Union two
weeks ago as insane and taken to the
asylum at ST. Peter died this week
and his remains were shipped to this
place by cars, and conveyed in a
hearSe to Our Sayiour's cemetery,
Butternut Valley for burial on Mon
day.
Dan Robinson, about ten years old,
a son of Arthur Robinson of this
place, went into the barn with a pair
of old buffalo mittens or gloves on
last Saturday afternoon, aud passed
into stall with one of the horses.
He had no sooner reached the head OF
the animal and raised the mits than
she struck him with one fore foot on
the back Of the head and laid him
out; then she kicked and snorted,
charged up and down the stall. His
brother Roy, older, was in another
stall putting the bride on another
horse, but did not know that Dan
had come into the barn, and went to
the stall and struck the creature with
stick, which had the affect of quiet
ing her, and then discovered Dan
lying under the horses feet insensi-
BILE. He called for help and then
lifted Dan out, just as Mr.. Robinson
appeared upon the scene. The horse
had stepped upon the little fellow ia
number of places; once on the abdo-
men which was rather serious: several
bruises, prints of the creatures hoofs
were on his legs. He revived soon
after he was rescued, but vomited con-
siderably toward evening. At pre-
sent he is considered out of danger.
and in due time if nothing new de-
velopes will recover.

TO. colNCIL MEETING.

At the meeting this evening the
Gil will decide for or against tho audito-
rum proposition. Tt is believed that @
favorable decision will be reached with
little opposition. There will be no pro-
tests If the unanimous verdict OF the
citizens of Helena is conformed to.
The city can make no better invest.
ment Of money than by appropriating
money for the construction of a public
library, a school building and a meeting
place for great conventions. Untold
benefits will return from such invest
ment. The arguments for a building Of
this description have been often re-
hearsed and need not be re-told. Tt is
only necessary for our citizens and their
official representatives to take broad and
progressive views in their work of build
ing up the city's interests. Do not hes
itate in making a liberal appropriation
for a public necessity. With a suitable
auditorium, excellent railway facilities,
fine hotels and unrivaled natural advan-
tages Helena's position as the north
western convention city will be clinched.
It will only DO necessary for our COM
mittees hereafter to point to the map
and show figures.
Assuming that the council will &C.
cept the proposition to be submitted it
is suggested that the appropriation
should be sufficiently large to make the
auditorium building what it should be.
Then on with the work.

"Ye Ratchet Partie."

The entertainment by "Ye Ratchet
Partie'' at the Broadway NJ. E. church last
night was one of much interest and was
largely attended by the friends of the
Loyal Temperance Legion, under whose
auspices it was given. The programme was
in two parts, the first part being rendered
by the children and the second by the
young ladies of the union. The pulpit
platform had been enlarged for the coca
sion, and the Good Night March by six
little tots carrying dolls and a candle stick
was especially good. The west side male
quartstte favored the audience with a med
ley which was heartily received. as evil
denced by their having to respond to an
encore. The proceeds, which were large.
will be devoted to the advancement of the
cause. -.
'Ye Hatchet Partie," given under the
auspices of the Frances E.. Willard Loyal
Temperance legion at Adams hall last
evening was also largely attended. The
performance was highly creditable to those
who took part and was thoroughly enjoyed.
Refreshments were served after the enter
tainment. .
The entertainment at st. Aloysius hall
last evening, given by the young ladies of
St. Vincent's academy, WAS for the benefit
of the Orphan asylum. It was a most
worthy object. and those who attended had
not only the pleasure of being entertained
but also the assurance that their patronage
would be Of service to those who needed
friends. ,i.

FREE WOOL IS NECESSARY.

The Helena Journals summary of
The INDEPENDENTS argument for free
wool is not so very far out of the way
after all. It is quite right in saying
that THE INDEPENDENT means that if
foreign wool was made still cheaper by
removing the duties thereon, the price
of the domestic product would increase
and the demand be enlarged. We
quote from a late issue of the Amer
lean Wool and Cotton Reporter, which
says: "The recent heavy increase in
importations of Australian woods in the
face Of the higher duties of the Nc
Kinley bill has shown our people, as
never before, that manufacturers must
have these woods for certain classes of
goods. In many cases these Australian
or other domestic woods, and if the Aus
tralian woods could not be obtained the
goods could not be obtained here, and
our growers would consequently be de-
prived of a market for that portion of
their woods used in mixing with the
Australians. No truthful and we'll in
formed person will say that all the
requisite qualities of wool can be pro-
duced in the United States"
AS pointed out the other day, the Of
, feet of free wool would be naturally an
increase in the consumption of wool for
| the reason that there would be an in
creased market. The high tariff on
woods which are absolutely necessary in
the manufacture of wooden goods, and
which cannot be raised in this country,
compels the manufacturer to use a large
amount of shoddy in his so-called
wooden goods. Free wool would mean
more wool in goods, and consequently a
greater demand for this commodity. AS
was suggested, this would result in a
higher and steadier price for Montana
woods Of all grades. Our esteemed CON
temporary with customary regularity
distorts the meaning Of quotations in
replying to argument. Foreign woods
imported have been relatively" cheaper
because they cannot be produced in this
country and must be had in the manu-
%facture OF WOODEN goods. The Journal
knows this as we'll as any one.
