We understand the Helena papers are
now sent out to Arlington on the serli-
animal train that runs from the Falls to
| Neihart, and that If the Montana stage
company's coach happens to find the bun
dies at that point it brings them along,
otherwise it does not. The coach was bad
enough, God knows, but nov that We have
to rely partly on "a railroad that does not
run n train often enough to keep the weeds
from covering up the track, the situation
is truly disgusting. The citizens of this
place and the publishers at Helena should
take steps to remedy this condition of at
fairs. Helena papers two or three times a
week will not do.
The entertainment given at Culver's hall
last Friday night by the North Star Com
bination company was better than was
anticipated and worthy OF IA larger attend
ance than they received. The troup is
composed of four ladies and two gentle
men, all Of whom possess talent as perform
rrs and are both musicians and singers.
The audience was small, partially due to
the weather and to other entertainments
in town, but undoubtedly many thought
it n fake. Should they visit Lewistown
again no doubt "A much better house would
be in attendance. Mrs. Barnum, Of Arm
%inston, aud her family are the principal
members OF the company.
