"a The melodrama entitled "Down in
EDjxle," which was opened for a weeks en-
i'xaRement at Keith's Opera House last
9vG1ing, is below the high standard at
tained by that house of entertainment in
81 long succession of varied performances,
Almost unexceptionally of n satisfactory
order Of excellence.
"Down in Dixie" Is the exception. IL
has numerous features, however, that
)erve to recall more interesting produc
lions, because it Is so evident that
Imitation had been attempted. For
instance, foot bridge over a chasm is re-
moved by the villain, but there hangs the
jnevitable rope which enables the heroine
I to swing herself across and reach her
Wounded and battered lovers side; there
! y also cotton compress, instead of a
circular saw or an elevator, utilized by
the evil doers of the piece TO crush out
life. The cotton compress is operated

The noise of the drama is effectually
brought about by the frequent running
h Of the Florida Quartet and member of
ihe Pickaninny Band, sometimes with
brass instruments. The noise received
applause last night, because ofthe pleasure
Df the audience in seeing what a good
lime the young colored people we're hav-
ing. The speaking and acting portions of
jhe drama, however, amused the galleries,
)t times, almost uproariously.
The plot calls for two villains and one
medium bad man, but the rest OF the cast
)ucceed in very neatly thwarting them
pefore harm is done.

Accompanied by half the nobility Of Aus
tria, went to the Carlsbad Springs for the
recovery of his health. Six thousand six
hundred horses, so the town records say,
were necessary to convey the company to
the place.
The virtue of the water Is as great at
the present day as 1t was in the time Of
Charles H., and although the expense at
tached to q journey thither Is not as great
now as 1t was then, we are not all wealthy
enough to undertake 1t. For such the
virtue of the Carlsbad Spring Is extracted.
The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, obtained by
evaporation, containing all the solid con-
stituents of the water, can be obtained at
every drug store.

weavers are out, which has caused a shut

October a Record Breaker.

The month Of October at Bismarck,
90 indicated by tho observations taken
there tor many years past, vas record
breaker. Only once in the past %
years was there dryer month then The
one just closed. Tho average preclpita-
tion in October on the Missouri slope Is
slightly over one met, but this year it
amounted to only thst OF a asnowfall Of
tbree.fourths OF on inch and for agricul-
tural purposes was equivalent to rim
less cipher. The average precipitation
here in jamestown, in October is about
an inch also. In the early seventies. as
recorded at Ft. Seward, it averaged
about 0.75 but OF late years has been up
in the the COS, with half an inch or more
of snow, except this year. Observer
Branch could discover only trace of
either rain or snow this year, breaking
all records at this point.

the knight OF the rail, in VIM. G. Parker,
one OF Superintendent Wilson's most
Industrious and valuable clerks and
assistants. And Colan insisted upon
the Identification being correct dag

protests with which it was met. It was not
without some persuasion and argument
that he WAS induced to believe that the
accused could not by any possibility
have been his assailant, and that he was
entirely and altogether in error.

rhe Bozeman Tunnel Fire.


The Atlantic mail was several hours
late in arriving today. A freight train
wreck on the Yellowstone division and
snow IN the western part OF the state
partly accounted for the delay. Time
is lost IN taking the switch back over
the Bozemsn tunnel. The fire in this
tunnel has been burning for weeks but
10 now dying out. The railroad officials
clam they have it under control, and
that it will be but few weeks ere they
can begin the work of clearing away the
debrls and getting the bore in condition
for traffic. The fan that was recently
put IN to fan the flames and cause them
to burn all the faster has been conducive
of good results. The volume OF smoke
and gas grows less each day, showing
that the fire Is slowly but surely dying
out.
The notoriety recently given the tun-
mel on account OF the fire has caused the
officials to take extra precautions as to
letting anything get into circulation
concerning the fire or tunnel in any way,
shape or form. Men who have spent
days working there, upon their return to
Bozeman profess to know absolutely
nothing about the facts IN the case.

city council from Taxpayer voices the
sentiment OF more than one. The city
is not receiving, apparently, an e9uivs-
lent for money expended for lights. 1t
is quite frequently remarked that enc or
more lights are not lending that
aid to pedestrians for which the city has
contracted and expects. Often ono or
more lamps are oat entirely. The COM
nunlcation is as tollows:
TO the Honorable Mayor and City Coun-
Gil:
Please give more hours Of street lights
or less ta1es. We are not getting, under
the present schedule an average of two
hours lights per night at $8 per
month per light. In other cities
they are paying less than IS per month
for each light, from sunset to sunrise. II
heurs, on an average, per night. II We
cannot hsve but two hours light out of
the twelve We had better have none. l
AN in favor of having plenty Of light and
pay as mrch for it as they do ia other
cities, but if we have only little aight I
