The Madisonian. (Virginia City, Mont.) 1873-1915, 1895-11-09
MAY RESULT IN
A COUNTY SYSTEM
Various Sections Of the
County Want the
Telephone.
HilhOuse Raymond says the Horse
men Of the Upper Ruby May Con
meet with the Virginia Lime-Pony
Talking Telephone.

The people of Madison county are
suffering from the telephone fever, and
we hope they will continue to suffer
until we have one of the best little tel
ephone systems in the state. The sue
cess of the new line between Sheridan,
Virginia City and Leiterville, which
was only recently completed, aggra
Yates the symptoms of enterprise, and
the welcome disease is spreading.
Hilhouse Raymond, who was in from
Belmont Park this week, is enthusias-
tically in favor OF connecting the up
per Ruby valley with the outside
world, by tapping the Virginia line
at some place between this city and
Laurin. And like the thorough horse
man that he is, will back his Judgment
with the necessary wherewithal. He
is confident that the prominent ranch
men of the valley will subscribe for
stock literally.
There is some talk of putting tele-
phone instruments on the Southern
Montana Telephone company's line be-
tween this city and Norris. In case
this was done, the citizens of Pony
would undoubtedly build line to Nor
ris and make the system complete. In
fact the proposition has been seriously
talked of among the prominent men of
Pony and vicinity. To this project
there is serious obstacle. Telegraph
stock is paying handsome dividends,
and the stockholders might not ap'
prove of the change. Some of them
are in favor OF it, however, and the
theory is that the increase in business
as boxes could be put in at the smaller
places, would swell the receipts, and
the telegraph instruments could be
left on the wire to be used, when nee
essary. The telegraph has single
advantage over the telephone-sec
recy.
Some time ago, there was talk o
building a line from Sheridan tt
Whitehall, via Twin Bridges.

singing and dancing was greatly aG-
mired by the audience and brought
forth many rounds of applause.
K. A. Sullivan acquitted himself re.
markably well in a most difficult part
that Of Patrick O'Farrell, the heavy
william He possesses good and clear
voice and his acting of the part was
correct in every respect.
Mrs. Marian Smith made g. very good
widow Bawn. She knew her part to
perfection and acted it well.
John Hlrshman made a great nit in
his lnpersonatiOn of Grip, the Ameri-
can lawyer. John has had some pre-
viOus experience in amateur theatri-
Gals and seems to be cut out for a come
dian He entertained the audience
much better than many professional
comedians who. have appeared on the
Dillon stage.
Will B. Orem filled the part OF Mi
chael Creagan. the poacher, satisfact-
orily. His makeup was good, and so
was his acting and Irish dialect.
j. L. Fishburn took the part OF the
magistrate. Although this role does
not give much opportunity for the dis
play of theatrical talent, Jake played
the part very well, especially IN the
stabbing scene in the first act.
One of the best and most enjoyable
features of the entertainment was the
musical program. The orchestra, com.
posed OF w. A. Smith, first violin; T.
2. Sullivan, solo cOrnet; Miss Blanch
Miller, second cornet and Mrs. f. ]
Conger, piano. rendered some very fine
selections. The violin solo by Mr.
Smith and the cOrnet solo by Prof. Sui
livan were well executed and receives
much applause. e.-Dillon Examiner.

THREE STAMP MILL
The Trials and Tribula-
tiOnS Of Jacob
Newman.
He is Charged with Having Stolen
stamp Mill Belonging to Henry
EllinS-SSld it to Some RRmshorm
Mining Men-Hearing morrow.

1t takes genius to accomplish won"
ders. To this class belongs Jacob New
man, who is probably better known by
the euphonious soubriquet of "Sheeny
Mike" Mike is said to have applied
his talent in the wrong direction and
as result is hourly becoming better
acquainted with the Lord of Three
Forks in the county bastile.
Mike was arrested Saturday on O.
charge OF grand larceny. The COM
plaint was sworn to by Henry Filing.
Mike is alleged to have stolen and car
ried away, bodily, a three-stamp mill,
which he is said to have sold to Bryan,
McFadden & Co., who are operating 9.
mine on the Ramshorn.
The theft of stamp mill is no small
undertaking. Versatile indeed is the
man who successfully accomplishes it.
1t involves good generalship, tact and
superabundance of self confidence.
And after it is successfully stolen, to
place it on the market and dispose of
it, is a matter that necessitates the
surmounting of innumerable obstacles.
The mill was taken from q site on
South Boulder Mr. klling missed it
about six months ago and diligent in
quiry failed to locate.it. It was not
placed on the Helena or Butte markets.
Finally it was located on Messrs. Ryan
and McFadden's property on the'Rams-
horn. These gentlemen informed the
owner that they had purchased it Of
Jake Newman, but had not at that
time received bill Of sale, which was
subsequently secured from Newman.
AS soon as the bill of sale was executed
Newman was arrested.
Newman came here eight or nine
months ago and opened q tailor shop.
A few months later he claimed to have
become interested in mining lease.
He also claimed to be part owner in
the East Helena smelter. His asser.
tions were 80 numerous and gorgeous,
however, that little faith was put in
him or his sayings.
Newman's preliminary examination
will occur tomorrow Saturday at 10
o'clock, before Magistrate McGown.
His bond was placed at $500 in default
of which he was committed to jail
His protestations of innolence are very
emphatic.

AN EXCELLENT PERFoR NANCE
"Mollie Bawn' II Produced with
Great Ouccose.

"Mellie Bawn'' IN Produced with
Great success.
The Mollie Bawn Comedy Company
is composed of a number of the star
amateurs of Dillon. They have decid-
ed to make Madison county visit and
will give performances in Sheridan
and Virginia City in tho near future.
Concerning their initial performance
the Dillon Examiner says:
A large audience assembled IN the
opera house on Friday evening to see
the Irish comedy drama ''Mollie
Bawn," performed by the members of
the local amateur theatrical company.
The event has bsen talked of about
town for several weeks, and, of course,
everybody in the audience had his Gu
riosity aroused. The performers them
selves were rather nervous and uneasy
about the reception Of their first theat-
rical effort by the Dillon public, but
their doubts and fears were dispelled
before the curtain went down on the
first act. The piece made decided
hit, of this there can be no doubt. The
audience appreciated and enjoyed the
performance and manifested their ap-
proval by frequent applause.
For an amateur performance the
piece was put on very we'll and render
ed without a single "break." This
latter fact, although very creditable to
the members of the company proved
somewhat Of . Disappointment to many
of tho spectators who expected few
funny and laughable incidents not on
the program. Yet, while they were
chested out Of their anticipated fun il
that respect, they we're fully eompen
sated by the many laughable incidents
and humorous sayings which formed {
Legitimate part OF the play. An account
Of the performance would be inc0m
plete without making brief special men
tien Of some Of tho leading character
Of the play.

of Mollie Bawn made most charming

Wages In Japan.

We publish today letter from Rev.
Will p. Turner, Methodist missionary
who was sent from Georgia to Japan
several years ago.
Mr.. Turner keeps in touch with af-
fairs in his native land and sees the eff
fort that is being made to Japan" our
currency. His letter shows what we can
expect should that calamity befall us.
A labor leader in Texas few days
ago advised the workingmen to vote for
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
The rate Of wages in the foremost free
silver nation of the world will hardly
commend this advice to sensible and in
telligent wage earners III this country.
Mr.. Turner, whose facilities for in
formation are as good as possible and
whose reliability is beyond question
tells us some interesting things about
wages in Japan. 1t must be Temem-
bered that his figures are i'll japanese
money, which is equivalent to only 30
cents on the dollar in our currency.
Here are some Of his figures:
Teachers in government schools, $i2
to $35 per month.
Postoffice and custom house clerks and
similar government positions, IS to $50
per month.
Teachers In high schools. sl5 TO $75
per month.
Brick masons, 80 to 60 cents day.
Carpenters, as to 55 cents day.
Female operatives III cotton factories
cents a day.
Male operatives, 10 cents day.
Mr.. Turner tells Of an expert Japa
nese workman who with the aid Of his
wife made cents a day
The workingmen Of this country are
being informed about what silver ba.
sis means in regard to wages.
There is not nation on the face Of
the earth which has the free coinage Of
silver where the average Of wages is
one-fough as high as it is in this coun-
try. Atlanta journal
