Jersey May Treat "a Common sooId to
Hue Law JustIce.
NEW York, Nov 4-There is Just
a slight possibility that New Jersey will
have the peculiar distinction of having a
f1rst-clsss sixteenth century ducking
within its limits one of these days. A
woman is now under bail on conviction
of being a common scold, and If the
judge exercises his prerogstive, Mrs.
Esther Jaques may undergo the unplea-
SAINT experience of being submerged be-
meath the waters of the Passaic long
enough to check the flow of gossip with
which her lips are charged.
The law in New Jersey still holds good
for this mode of furnishing common
scolds, but it is a matter Of doubt whetheE
the judge will take it upon himself tAa.
avail himself of this law. If he does it
will be the first conviction under the old
blue laws in many years.

enjoyed the play very much.

very we'll done and George virgins Ed
Ganzy brought out a great deal of
laughter and applause. Fred Clark's Cy
Prime and Henry SCOTS Seth Perkins
were also well done, The singing by
the double quartette was excellent. The
company carries over twenty people this
year

at the Grand. On Thursday night The
| Green Goods Man" will be given, and on
Friday night Primrose & Vests min
strels will occupy the stage.

as ever.

M y ,OULA.

MIssoULA, March 9.-Society is resting
hard these days. Not even calls are made
by the ultra-devout and the social world
has been unprecedentedly quiet all the
week. Preparations for Easter are being
made on every hand and that season, al
though 80 days distant, promises to be a
pleasant one. The splendid choirs of St.
Xavier's and the Church of the Holy Spirit
are rehearsing the music for Easter Sum
day; Easter bonnets are being trimmed,
and Easter eggs are being boiled and
decorated. The mud has prevented all
out door recreations for the past week, so
there has been nothing for society to do
except to be devout. The week has been
the dullest in the history of Missoula's
400, and the indications are that next
week will not be any livelier.
The early spring has forced the moving

ginning tn reap their annual harvest.
