Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. SigIinger gave a
party for young people Saturday evening.
Something unique was offered in the
way of entertainment. A number of
cards were prepared in such a way as to
represent some well known book. thus,
a card with the map of Kentucky and a
kernel of corn represented "A Kentucky
Colonel" quinine and honey, Bitter
Sweet" and SO on to the number of
thirty-seyen. Miss Ruth Abbott was
presented a copy OF Robert Burns as
the most successful and Alex Ross a huge
fire cracker as the least successful. Some
very apt interpretations were made,
among them one by Will Alley, who
upon looking at a couple repres enting
Paul and Virginia, put down. opposite
that number. There arc moments when

The window guards are fully up to the
specifications. The front corridor door
is made of tirst-class material, with the
exception OF one safe-bar, which can be
replaced very easily. AS to the material
in the cells, find composed of the very
best material. After testing $50 bars
found but one soft bar, which can be
easily replaced, and in all only two

NATURES ICEHOU8E
Wonderful Cave Discovered
in Montana.
EXPLORERS TRAVEL ON ICE FLOOR
The Cave located Near LewistOwn.
Fergus County-Its Full Size Not
Net Known, But Hundreds of
Yards Have Already Been
Explored by Residents

About fifteen miles north of Lewis
town, Mont, and two miles from the
Gilt Edge mine, there has been dis
covered cave similar to none known in
the United States. The discovery was
made by Charles Kelly, prospector.
About week later party of six,
equipped with miners lamps, axes, picks,
ropes and overcoats, visited the curious
cave for the purpose of exploration.
The party reached the entrance of the
cave about 10 o'clock in the morning
and Immediately began their investi-
CATION.
The mouth is an irregular crevice in
the sloping ledge. For a distance of
about 100 feet the bottom is almost level,
and the crevice widens gradually to a
width of nearly fifty feet. Then there 1s
an incline of about 20 degrees for dis
lance of fifty yards. Here lnsead of a
rocky, floor solid body of ice was found,
Fifteen minutes of hard work with the
axes and picks showed that the ice was
solid to a depth of more than two feet.
The party continued their journey for
about three quarters of mile from the
entrance, until the winding avenues and
rooms made it hazardous to proceed far
ther, the danger of losing their way back
to daylight being imminent, owing to the
fact that compass carried by one of the
party had become useless on account of
being affected by vast deposits of iron in
the walls of the cave. Much difficulty
would have been experienced in return
ing only for the forethought of a mem
Der OF the party, who marked the route
taken by strokes of an ak.
The width of the cave varies at differ
ent points from twenty five to 300 or 400
feet, and the roof at some points reaches
within four feet OF the ice and in many
places 50 high that it could not be seen
by the light given out by the lamps car
rled by the explorers. At no point in the
cave was any water found, only an occa-
sional dripping from the roof, In places
draughts of air were encountered that al
most extingulshed the lamps carried.
William Armeaux has located mineral
claim al the entrance of the cave, and in
this way intends to secure it from the
government .-Winnemucca Silver State.

A Pure Bnkinp Powder

A baking powder that can be depend
ed upon to be free from lime and alum is
a deslderatum in these days of adulterat-
ed food. SO far as can be judged from
the official reports, the "Royal" seems to
be the only one yet found by chemical
analyses to be entirely without one or
the other of these substances, and abso-
lutely pure. This, it Is shown, results from
the exclusive use by it's manufacturers
OF cream OF tartar specially refined and
prepared by patent processes which total
~ remove the tartrate of lime and other
Impurities. The cost of this chemically
pure cream of tartar is much greater
than any other, and it is used in no bak-
ing powder except Royal" the manu-
facturers Of which control the patents
under which it is refined
DR.. Edward G.. Love, formerly analy-
tlcal chemist for the y. S. Government,
who made the analyses for the New York
State Bord of Health in their investiga-
ton of baking powders, and whose know
ledge of the ingredients of all those sold
in this market enables him to speak au
thoritatlvely, says of purity, wholesome
ness, and superior quality of the "Royal:"
find the Royal Baking Powder com
posed of pure and wholesome Ingredients
ls IS a cream tartar powder, and does not
contain either alum of phosphates, or
other injurious substance.
Prof. Loves tests, and the recent
official tests by both the United States
and Canadian Governments, show the
Royal Baking Powder to be superior to
all others in strength and leavening
power. 1t is not only the most economi-
cal in use, but makes the purest, finest
havored and most Wholesome food.

j. M. Merrell, who bought in the
Freyschlag, Huffman & Go. stock at
sheriff's sale last Thursday, reopened
that place last Saturday with James
Patten as manager, and the various de-

office; James Campbell, the dry goods
and gents furnishings departments T; F.
M. Freyschlag, 0. j. Quivey and Fred. B.
Smith, the grocery, and jerome Mat
thews in the hardware.
The name of j. M. Merrell at the
head of business in Philipsburg will
recall many pleasant recollections bv
the old settlers of this place. In the
early days, when the camp was IN it's
infancy, Mr.. Merrell conducted grocery
store on upper Broadway, where Morse's
feed store now stands. At that time
Mr.. Merrell was as poor as any of us al
the present time; but having confidence
in the Granite mine and considerable OF
Its stock in his possession he held to it
and became rich. Soon after making
his fortune he removed to Oakland, Cal,
where he built one of the handsomest
homes in that city, and has since resided
there.
Although dame fortune smiled SO
layishly upon him he did not forget the
old camp, and having retained confidence
IN 1t he has ever since that time held ex-
tensive financial interests here IN mining
banking real estate and otherwise.
