Now that the Butte football team is
back, sessions of the city council will
be resumed as before the trip. No
meetings of the council were held dur
ing the absence of the team. Mayor
Thompson Is back with the rest of the
eleven and a council meeting will be
held tonight. The mayor has vowed
a horrible vow that he will not cut his
hair or his whiskers until Butte beats
Reliance. AS the next game between
these teams is not likely to take place
until next Thanksgiving, Mayor
Thompson bids fair to rival Senator
PETER in appearance by that time.
1t is not known just what entertain
ment will be afforded the public at the
council meeting tonight. but 1t may
confidently be relied on that there will
be something of interest to amuse
them. 1T is understood that something
is likely to be done in regard to the
gambling at the northeast corner of
Main and Galena streets. The council
decided that there should be no gam
bling ON the ground floor. But the pro-
prietors of this place built a little plat
form and run a faro layout on that,
being about half way between the
ground floor and the second floor. A
few steps lead to this place, and so II
stairs" This evasion of the law has
been commented on by some of the
aldermen and II is possible that action
will be taken on this matter tonight.
During the holiday vacation there
has been a good deal of agitation
among THE aldermen in regard to the
proposition to move Pete Hales board
ing house into the First ward. The mat
ter will be brought up soon in order
that the obnoxious boarding house
may be safely out of the way before
the spring election. 1t is not consid-
cred likely that the ordinance rear
ranging the wards in such a way as to
throw the boarding house into the
First ward will be ready for tonight
but ii may be. If so there is likely to
be music of several different kinds of
national airs. The probabilities are.
however. that the boarding house prop
osition will not be presented for a
week or two yet. The aldermen and
the outsiders who are understood to be
engineering this move are, however
very reticent and refuse to divulge
their plans
Meetings of the judiciary, license and
held this afternoon. 1t is not known
that anything very important will be
up before them. The ordinance remov-
ing the houses of ill-fame from wyo-
ming street is still in the hands of the
judiciary committee, where IL has
been for months, and ii is a safe bet
that 1t will remain in the pigeon hole
and will not be touched. 1t would
seem to be a better plan. after the ire
mendous bluff that was made. mat the
committee recommend that IL - not
pass. and let the aldermen vote 10 down
in the council. The aldermen, how
ever, seem to be unanimously agreed
ON letting the matter be pieeon-holed
and do not seem to care abodt eting
on record as voting eitler way. The
present council has followed Drpcisely
the same course of three preceS ing
councils-made a great outoJy attut
the outrage of having the prostitutes
on Wyoming street, and then citing
the matter drop so suddsaly ss to look
queer to a man up a tree.
