SHERIDAN ShLnD
MATHIS' Benefit BALL
WAS A SUCCESS.
1t Was Largely Attended and Very
Observation-Disclosures Has the BIZ
cyle FeVer-NOtes.

SHERIDAN, April 1.-[Special Cor
respondence 1.-The Efe Mathis benefit
ball was a brilliant success, both Soc
tally and from a financial standpoint.
The attendance from outside points
was quite large-much larger in fact,
than the local attendance. The pretty
little hall was taxed to it's utmost
capacity. The people of L~eiterville
who were the promoters of this ball,
have reason to feel elated Over it's
splendid success, and for the
substantial reason hal the Mathis
fund will be enriched by, at least, 5000.
The engagements committee. Messrs
James Letter, Ed Adams. L. Owens
and J. l.. Churchill, were untiring in
their efforts to make the dance the sue
cess it was. The music, which was eX-
%ceptionally fine, was furnished by the
Striker-Searle-Gohn orchestra of Vir-
ginia City and the prompting was done
by Prof. Xertes Kellogg of Central
City. Supper was served j. Z. Glen of
the Ruby hotel and it was a dandy.
There were edibles on the menu which
seemed to touch the right spot and Mr..
Glenn fed something like 225 hungry
people, his dining O being full from
II until 3. The floor managers of the
dance were Edgar Birchard of Laurin,
Frank P. Bowman of Twin Bridges,
Charles CHASER, Ed Wright and John
Smith of Leiterville, Ward McAllister
French and Ed Gohn (who wore his
fathers best suit to the dance of Vir-
ginia City and J. T.. Glen of Sheridan.
Mr.. Letter practically suspended opera
ton at Leiterville in order to allow his
men to attend the ball, and they were
there in force.
Both notes.-the Ruby and the Sheri-
dan-were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity by the large number of out
side visitors.
Will Neagle of Dillon, representing
the Dillon Implement Company, was in
town this week with a stock of bycicles.
They were beautiful machines, high
grade Columbus, as we'll as cheaper
grades, and Mr.. Neagle succeeded in
placing several with our people, who
seem to have the wheel fever very bad.
Mr.. Neagle informed the MADIsONIAN
correspondent that in a few weeks A.
l.. Stone and himself would make Il
trip to Virginia on a pneumatic tandem
maehine-one of the latest. These
machines are geared up to make from
Is to 20 miles an hour and the gentle
men propose to make the round trip
from Dillon to Virginia and return in
one day, just to show what can be done
on this seasons record breakers.

FROZEN ELESTIAL,
FOUND NEAR PINE GROVE
THIS MORNING.
Fred KOhls, EnrOute to Virginia.,
Made the DtscOvery-COrOner Nc
Nulty and a Jury investigate

Fred Kohls, who came down from
Summit this morning brought the
startling intelligence that the dead
body of a Chinaman had been found by
him on the roadside neal Pine Grove.
He said he almost drove over him be-
fore realizing that the snow covered
object was a man.
He made only a hasty examination
and saw no marks of violence. A
small bundle of clothing was lying
near the body. He notified some of
the dead mans countrymen living near
by and came on to town.
Coroner McNulty, after impanneling
a jury left for the scene about II
o'clock. His intention was to have
the jury view the remains, and if acc
essary to hold an inquest, to adjourn
to this city.
Later-The report of the jury came
in as we were about to 60 to press.
They report as follows:

The New Hall Conn leted-PersOnaI
and General.

ENNIS, April 1.-[Special Correspon-
dence. Most of our farmers are pre-
pairing for seeding and some have sown
considerable already.
The new hall is now completed and
the Madison Valley brass band is using
it for practice. This is a handsome
structure and is truly a credit to the
community as it evinces the enterprise
and public spirit of the citizens. Ev-
erybody turned out and worked with a
hearty good will and the building was
ready to be occupied in ten days from
the time the foundation was laid.
The band boys propose to give a
grand oppning ball on the 10 inst. and
also a concert in the near future.
We understand that Mr.. MAYNARD
has a contract to supply butter and
eggs for the Revenue mine. This is a
lucky hit for Mr.. Maynard and we
wish him success in the same.
Hay and grain are also being taken
from here to the Richmond Flat min
ing camp. This camp promises to
make a ready market for the produce
of Madison valley.
Current reports say there will be a
new butcher wagon in the valley dur
ing the coming season. Mr.. Macatee
is pushing the enterprise. Opposition
is the life OF trade, so our people can
depend on good meats at reasonable
rates.
A sister of John Hartman arrived in
the valley last week and will make her
future home among us.
New arrivals every week, and still
there is room.
Chas. Armitage is recovering from
his recent illness and will soon be able
to attend to business again.
Mr.. Human was very sick for a few
days, but he is recovering nicely.

MATHIS HEARD FROM.
He is in Philadelphia and Has a
Fighting Chance

Ed GOhn has received a letter from
G. H. Cummings, who accompanied
Efe Mathis cas- and will take care of
him during his treatment. 1t is dated
from Philadelphia and is as follows:
We arrived here on the night of the
10Th all right and the doctor examined
Mathis eyes yesterday. He said there
was a chance but would not promise
anything but thought he might help
him. This doctor thinks just as DR..
McNulty did, that Efe has a chance.
There is rock in both eyes which will
have to come out and will ~necessitate
at least three operations. | asked the
doctor how much his bill would be.
He said that he could not tell Just yet
but his charges would be within Efe's
limits as Miller had explained the case
to him. | had to advance $50 to the
college and Efe will go there after
while. If we both stopped at the col
lege it would cost SD a day so I got a
room and board for $12 a week for two
until Efe has to go and stop at the col
lege all the time. The doctor thought
| had better stop here until that time
and see how the ease turns out. He
can tell by that time whether Efe's
sight will be restored or not if not I
a take him back.
Send me what money you have for
Efe. | think that the doctor will
charge about 500 for his services but
don't know. I do not think it will be less
as he told me he had received $3.50
from a party from Butte and the case
was 10 hear as bad as. Efe's: he also
told me that Efe should have the best
care that he could give him and he
would be reasonable in his charges.
Just a little work will make the old
suit look bright and new. Take it to

A Narrow Escape.

While Mrs. Jos. Michaud was
standing in the door of her residence
on Broadway about $50 on the
Fourth, a bolt of lightning struck
the chimney, went down it to the
first floor, and passed out over the
electric light wire. The wire passes
over the door where Mrs. Michaud
was standing and the shock threw
her down and rendered her uncOn-
scious for some time. No evil effects
are apprehended, however. The
chimney was ruined and will have
to be rebuilt, and the electric fluid in
it's passage tore everything in the
way.

WHERE ARE THEY?
Three Great Enemies of the
Farmer Hre absent this
Year.

One of the most remarkable facts
about crops this year is beginning
to be commented on. 1t Is the alb
sence of potato bugs, schinch bugs,
and the Russian thistle. Why these
three terrOrs of the farmer should
not appear at a time when farmers
are prepared to meet them, and
when soil conditions would seem to
give them a foothold, is mystery.
The chinch bug is deadly enemy
OF corn especially. The state ento-
mol0gist, Prof. Otto Lugger, has
been experimenting as to ways and
meens of killing this insect, and has
found that there is a sure way by
inoculating it with the spores Of the
"muscarline" disease. ANY farmer
who suspects the presence OF the hug
should at once write the entomolO-
gist for directions. Morrison county
has rarely been troubled by chinch
bugs, and none have appeared this
year.
The terrible Russian thistle. which
last season Overspread millions OF
acres in the Dakotas and Nebraska
and was also present in this county
Is harmless this year, and there will
be no need Of congress appropriating
money to blot 1t out. Morrison
county has been very well acquainted
with the potato bug in past years
There ~ not much Of him this year.
Inquiries at drug stores show that
less Paris green has been sold this
year than for many years. There
are but two manufacturers of this
article in the world--in New York
and Chicago-and it is evident that
there will he a great difference in
prices next year. With millions of
pounds unsO!d. the manufacturers
will hardly care to make any for
next year. NJ solid reason has been
advanced for the disappearance OF
the bug, but all-except, possibly.
druggists-will rejoice that they
have taken wings and flown.
