BUTTE.

BUTTE, Jan. 26.-The ladies of Butte
have been very busy this week-not busy
in social way but busy in a charitable
way. They have been visiting the sick
and the injured, sympathizing with the
bereaved and assisting in relieving the
distressed. The week has been barren of
events of a social nature with the excep-
ton of the regular club meetings.
While ever since the day after the ex-
| plosion there has been a great amount of
relief work done individually by the la
| dies of Butte, who lost no time in calling
on the suffering, it was not until this week
that the work was organized. The Butte
| Relief committee appealed to the ladies
| for help on the ground that they were GO
ing crazy, and they wished assistance in
visiting the wounded and the suffering.

and Mrs. f. p. Shaw, Mrs. Hoyt, Mrs. DIR.
