A heavy rain set in last Monday and
continued at intervals the rraater art


continued at intervals the greater part
Of the night, and a short time before day
light the torrents rushed down from the
mountains, overtlowing waterways
through town and flooding portions Of
some OF the streets, creating CONSERVATION
among some of the dwellers in the low
lands, and making them wish they had
selected building sites near the top of
Mount Powell, where floods do not come
aud wash out made-soil at four-bits a
load. There was much activity at some of
the "levees" during the early morning
hours, and people worked like beavers
to dam against the floods; but aside from
Washouts in a few loIs and the inconven-
ience caused by the overflow ofportions
of streets, very little damage has been
done SO far by the high water.
The town was billed yesterday by the
advance agents for "Mme. Flora and Her
Own Company" to appear at Cottonwood
hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings,
May % and 80. Nine. Flora is spoken of

tirst-class i'll every respect" Tickets are
on sale at Coleman's. Admission, 81:
children, so cents.
The Burton-C Coleman company played
''Si Perkins to a good house last Tues
day evening. The play seemed to be
well received by the audience, and par
ticularly "Si," whether in the role Of par
son Or as plain agent for the "Agitator,"
did not fail to elicit hearty applause.
The music was good throughout--the
orchestra was especially fine, and was
thoroughly appreciated. The overture
IS an enjoyable feature of the show
and was we'll received, while the cornet
solo was delightful.

General Jeffries, of the Washington
division of Coxey's army, addressed
fair-sized audience at the court house
Thursday evening. The general is
pleasant and interesting speaker and was
listened to attentively for more than an
hour at the conclusion of his speech
collection was taken up to defray the ex-
penses of himself and companions while
in Deer Lodge, and the meeting ad-
journed.
From present indications the Helena
ball team is not half as anxious as it was
to meet the Anaconda nine in the field.
Mr.. Tighe has been patiently waiting in
the hope that the game would come off
here Sunday, but SO far has not received
a line in reply to his acceptance of Hell
ena's challenge. Arrangements have
been made to play Deer Lodge May 3d.
