themselves in the vacant houses, from
which the real peaceful inhabitants

The Chinese soldiers thus disguised
carried concealed arms, and as they
were not accustomed TO give quarter
70 their enemy, they were afraid OF
being killed in case they surrendered.
Consequently, when they were at
last discovered by the japanese troops,
they offered resistance and fought to

At $50 o'clock on New Years eve,
Mr.. Chas. Booth and Miss Elizabeth

National band, stationed outside,
furnished delightful music for the
occasion.
1t is said that over 80 people were
present for the festivities.
The house was brilliantly lighted
all through, and the two rooms in
which the dancing took place were
beautifully decorated with white flow
ers of all kinds, mixed with maile,
ferns, ginger, palms and many other
green leaves. In one corner of the re-
ceptiOn room was a canopy, under
which the couple were married. The
tulle which was used to make this,
was decorated with maiden hair. In
the center and TO the front hung 2
large wedding bell, made OF white
flowers, having attached to ii q couple
OF long ropes made out of tuberoses.
The piano, 10 the left of the entrance,
was one mass of green and white.
Near the entrance stood three tall
kabilis rs senuneIs and from the top
OF the large doorway uniting the two
rooms, hung q couple of large silk
Hawaiian flags as curtains. In the
back room pOtted ferns and a great
number Of palms We're used by way OF
decoration. Everything was fixed up
for a genuine good time.

to make a accommodation on this
matter Just at present. 1t Is believed
that new bonds can be readily sold
now for s per cent interest, and the
proposition is to issue bonds at per

would be necessary to issue bonds for

Instead Of issuing warrants The city
cannot be bonded without a vote OF the
people. and consequently action In the
matter will probably be postponed
until spring to avoid expense OF a spe-

that was year ago last spring. when

''Trilby'' famous and fashionable had
Its first production in Butte Monday
night before a large audience Of pleas
ed and critical people. and the per-
Torrance and the size of the audience
were repeated last night. There may
have been some difference of opinion
as to the merit OF the play itself, but
none as to the performance. The COM
pany is remarkably well balanced and
each one seems especially fitted for
the part he played. Reuben Fox gave
an ideal performance Of Svengali and
Miss Edith Crane, beautiful and
charming. was as lovely in the char
acter of Trilby as Taffy the Laird and
Little Billee knew the original Of Du
Maurier's creation to be. 1t seemed
that the audience divided Its applause
for Miss Crane between the beautiful
woman and the charming actress. Mr..
Fox and Miss Crane were called before
the curtain at the end of the third
act In which act interest in the play
had reached the climax. Charles H.
Riegel as Taffy, Garfield as the Laird,
Brenton Thorpe as Little Billee, E. w.
Morrison as Gecko, Miss Jennie Ref
farth as Mime. Wizard and Z. Roynane
Simmons who made a pleasing comedy
part of the character Of Zou-Zou, were
all well received.
'Trilby" as a play Is interesting but
not intensely so. and but for a strong
company to play 1t. II would be weari-
some even without the long waits be-
tween acts which was characteristic
of the performance the last two nights.
''Trifby" is not a play that would out
last the Trilby craze. But, just now
IL is the thing and to be in 1t you must
see 1t. The performance will be re-
peated at a matinee this afternoon and
again this evening and tomorrow eve

rants to Refund axes.
The county commissioners yesterday
passed on the usual large stack of
monthly bills and also granted the re-
quests of a number of widows for re-
bates Of taxes. A warrant was ordered
drawn on the treasurer for Sal. which
Is the amount of taxes refunded. 1t Is
estimated that the total amount that
will be refunded will not exceed S175,
and Is but a fraction of the rebates of
former years.
County Superintendent Davies was
before the board with the complaint
from the people of Feeley, who have
no proper school facilities. There are
between Is and 80 children of school
age at Feeley and the school house Of
that district Is at Divide, ten miles
away, where there are only three or
four children. The trustees of the dis
tricts are also residents of Divide and
only one of them has any children, and
the people of Feeley say that their
complaints to the trustees go unheeded
They ask the commissioners to either
create a new school district for Feeley
or divide the other districts so as to
take them out of the one in which they
now are.
The commissioners have not yet de-
cided what to do. During the present
meeting the commissioners will open
bids to provide county charges with
medicine and medical attendance for a
year. Eight bids have been received so
far. The present county physicians are
paid $3.50 a month.
