/. John X. Castner is making large ad-
ditions to his hotel, by putting up new
and commodious buildings. This is
necessary to accommodate the fast in
creasing business. A great many people
are now coming to Belt to look after
good localities for business, and every
thing points to ultimate success and
prosperity for our little city.
1t is expected that work will begin on
the new freight house and depot this
week. The grading is now all finished.
and the Great Northern will hustle up
the buildings. The new turn-table has
arrived and will soon be in place. Who
knows but Belt may yet become a rail-
road center?
On Tuesday night at the Belt Club
hall Maj. Camp of Butte and others ad-
dressed the people Of Belt on the advan-
tages Of Anaconda for the capital. The
Butte quartet accompanied them and
rendered some choice selections. The
large ball was crowded with an appreCi-
ative audience and much enthusiasm pre-
vailed. There is no doubt about Belt
being eolid for Anaconda for the capital.
Friday night at the Social hall good
sized audience gathered to hear Maj.
Maginnis and A. j. Craven discourse
on Helena in her race for the permanent
capital. OF course the major with his
stale wit amused the crowd, but his ar
guments fell upon ears which had be-
come accustomed to his vile and STRAIT
egy and therefore had as little effect as
il his Gatling gun had been loaded with
blank cartridges. Don't come again, the
boys are not "Craven' for any more blus'
ter.
On Thursday evening Henry Lemenze,
a bricklsyer Of this town, took twenty
grains of morphine with suicidal intent.
He wrote letter saying he was tired of
life and had nothing to live for. HIS
roommate noticed that he was breathing
unusually heavily and called in DR..
Chamberlain who, after hard work, sue
ceeded in saving his life. Lemenze had
been drinking excessively the last ten
days.
