WHAT WE SMOKE.
The War In Cuba Not Likely to Advance
the Price of Tobacco.

Notwithstanding assertions to the
contrary, IL Is not believed by well
informed persons that the insurrection
in Cuba will cause a rise in the price
of tobacco and cigars, at least for a
year or two. While the year 1894
showed a decrease of about 1000 bales
in the importations of leaf tobacco from
Havana, owing to the dizziness of trade
here, the imports up to date show an
increase of nearly $4,000 bales of, the
finer grades OF cigor tobacco, or about
80 per cent. 1t is well known, also,
says the New York Sun, that numbers
OF the largest firms have great stocks
of leaf tobacco stored at Havana ready
for shipment at a few hours notice,
should the city be threatened by the
revolutionists. The last reports from
Havana were to the effect that all the
available freight space on the regular
steamships had been engaged for to-
bacco for two weeks ahead, a thing
never heard of before in this history of
the island, and also that the great
bulk of the matured crop was now safe
in the hands of the Havana ware
housemen. The tobacco used in seed
and Havana cigars is called Remedies.
and II is estimated that the stock al
ready in this country is sufficient for
at least three years demand. The re-
ports that the recent storms DESTROYED
the SCCu DtuS VI tHc young TOBACCO
plants in the Vuelta Abato and Parti-
dos districts seem to have been exag-
gerated. Probably so per cent of the
seed beds have been washed away.
but the farmers have already applied
to the government for new seed, which
will be planted at once, and the result
will be a slightly later harvest next
season from a soil fertilzed by the
fiotsam and jetsam of the flood.

FOR NEW YEARS DAY
The Fire Boys Will Give Their An
nual Minstrel Show.
THEY ARE ALL CUP TO DATE
Amateur Performers Are Thick as
Bees In the Department and
Their Plays Are Always
Highly Enjoyable.

Missoula, Nov. 26.-The fire depart
ment is making vast preparations for
presenting its annual minstrel show on
Jan. /, 1896. After the success OF last
January IL was concluded to make the
minstrel show, like the Thanksgiving
dance, a permanent institution and In
accordance with this conclusion they
have set about bringing together the
lovers of amateur theatricals and have
succeeded in securing a splendid lag
gregation of talent" The work of re-
hearsal will begin some time next week
and the citizens may well look forward
to something unusually good in the
line Of minstrel shows, from the fire
laddies. Speaking of amateur theatric-
ais. Missoula, for a small town Is well
provided for in the way of perform
ances. During the past two years, local
talent has presented several of Shakes
peare's plays. in the preparation for
which, in not a single instance was
more than a weeks time consumed,
and then too there 10 the Bioda club,
composed of young ladies of the city,
who have on several occasions engaged
in private theatricals and with great
success. AS a matter of fact the only
thing lacking in Missoula that prevents
1t from taking rank alongside of the
regular "down-east" town, Is football
club. and this deficiency Is likely to be
supplied now almost anytime since II
has the state university, among the
students Of which are some rather attn
letic young men.
The streets have been crowded all
day to-day, and the town has present.
ed buster appearance than 1t has for
a long time. Among those seen on the
streets are many ranchers from the
Bitter Root and Grass valleys, and
from. the looks of their wagons when
they leave town. they have all been
making rather heavy purchases. They
all evidently intend to properly observe
Thanksgiving.

UNFORTUNATE CHILDREN.
Several of Them Given to Board of
Guardians.

Several Of Them Given to Board Of
Guardians.
Agent Lewis Of the board of childrcn's
guardians had two sad cases of restitution
in the Police Court today, the sufferers be-
ing young children, the oldest being not
more than eight years of age. In one case
there were three colored children, named
LAWS who were found in shanty in rear
of 1O11 IL street southwest. Agent Lewis
went to this little shanty, which he de-
scribes as being unfit for pig pen, and
found the three little children living in
filth, without enough clothing to cover
their bodies, and barefooted In this little
room there was fire in the cooking stove,
but the agent found no evidences of food
about there.
The father of the children is not drunk
ard He hauls ashes for living, and
spends his money on the children, whose
mother died some time ago.
When the children appeared In court they
were warmly clad and looked as II they
wanted for nothing. This change had been
brought about by the work of Agent Lewis.
After Judge Miller had heard the agents
statement he called the oldest child, a boy.
to the stand and questioned him. This lit
tie fellow had nothing but good words to
say about his father. He had no complaint
him in the condition desc ribbed, he said he
had plenty of clothing and food.
''Where do you get your food?" the judge
asked him.
Father brings it honne." the boy an
swered
and does he clothe you?"
Eyes, sir"
Agent Lewis said he told the father Of
the children that he could appear in court
and state his side of the case. but he did
not appear, and they were turned over to
the board.
Another Case.
Mrs Fannie Siverberg and her four little
children appeared in the other case.
These child ren, although comfortably
clad, were dirty and failed to show that
the mother had even washed their faces
before starting for court.
According to her story, her husband has
deserted her and gone to Philadelphia.
She did not want to give up her children.
although poverty had forced her to do
something, and she expressed desire to
regain the custody of her offspring when
she is able to care for them.
Mrs. Slverberg was unable to tell any
thing about her husband at present, and
the court made an order turning the chill
dren over to the board of guardians
