A STRUCTURE.

Miles City, Wednesday night. at least
three hundred people were in attendance,
Of which Helena sent a largest repre-
sentation from a distance. The build
ing, the first OF the public institutions OF
the state completed, is a splendid struc-
! ture. Erected at a cost of a little more
than $4,000. the building is unquestion-
ably the largest and best of any edifice
| yet built in MontanafO for the money. The
banquet was n Of the very elegant and
admirably managed features OF the oc-
casion. Governor Richards and others
from Helena. among the speakers, we're
highly honored in esponse one after an.
other to the calls OF POSTMASTER Nc
Intire. the cleverest man for the station
in the state.

OF the term. There was no limit to the
hospitality dispensed. The big hotel

oUINN's ADVICE.
Butte Miner: Now that the Reform
School al Miles City has been dedicated
the republican politicians Of the state
ought to be able to mend their ways or
at least learn a useful trade.
THE KEYS GIVEN Up.
Anaconda Standard: The harmonious
and cordial spirit with which the press
Of the state have acknowledged the
superb hospitality accorded to their
guests by the people Of Miles City at the
| recent dedication Of the Reform School.
while rejecting the general sense OF ap-
probation. is but a small recognition Of
the bounty so generously and gracefully
dispensed. The keys Of the city were
delivered up to the invading horde in
the most practical manner. and the most
tasteful and esthetic banquet hall ever
set IN the state awaited them in the
beautifully decorated auditorium Of the
new building, the work OF the ladies.
who handsomely gowned. presided at the
table with both refinement and grace.
The arrangement Of the spread was
dainty and striking, the various tables
being set in distinct and delicate colors.
and the tieral ornaments were rich and
beautiful. OF the repast itself the
highest words OF praise cannot do the
fullest justice.
MATS WAS LOADED.
Missoulian: Ii is stated that. in Jest.
Senator Mats was assigned the toast.
Legislative Opportunities" to be replied
TO al the banquet at the Reform School
dedication. held at Miles City last week.
We venture the assertion that had he
replied in the same spirit in which the
toast was proffered. he would have clev-
erly suggested that: had legislative OPP
portunities been taken advantage of by
certain gentlemen within his %acquaint-
ance they would not alone be hit subjects
for the Reform School. but more apt
candidates for the state penitentiary. II
is not wise TO jest with Mr.. Mats on
this subject; he is just one too many for
certain fellows who are attempting to
traduce him in the hope that thereby
they may conceal their own shortcom-
ings.
