Something New.

On Tuesday night, at the Opera house.
the people OF Blackfoot will be treated
TO something entirely new under the sun.
On that date the Potter Sisters will
give one of their unique entertainments,
that have pleased the people every
where they have been produced, and
have elici,cd the fattering praise OF
eminent artists and complimentary
commendation of art critics on such
leading papers at The San Francisco
Chronicle, Omaha Bee, Kansas City
Star, Chicago Tribune, New York Trib-
une, etc.
The program is very attractive, pre-
senting the greatest variety OF any
readers or impersonators on the stage.
The artists have discarded the old stere-
otyped readings and have created play
both novel and original and peculiarly
their own. In the impersonations, the
costumes worn are as exquisite as money
and material can make them, the actors
as good as rare natural gifts, disciplined
by the most painstaking and industrious
training can make them.

Yrs. Billy Roodin IS owL.

Mrs. Billy Woodin has horned owl,
beautiful bird Of his kind. He is as
patient as martyr in his wire home.
True 10 his native instincts he sits In
dreamy solitude during the brightness
Of the day and in the night time COM
munes with the stars and the storm
king.
he loves his lonely home and, some
times II understood, might be said 20
sing "Home, Sweet Home" He takes
no part In the busy stir of men and
beasts in the day, but keeps watchful
vigils all the night long.
He is true 10 somebody or something.
At every watch Of the night, whether
II be the first, second or third watch or
whether II be at the hour when the
first gray rays Of dawn appear over the
eastern hill he speaks 10 the somebody
or to the neutrality-suspicious., who
Who" Conscious OF some duty to per-
form, like the watchman on the tower,
he breaks the stiffness of the hours and
cries "Who-who, who-who."
Mrs. Woodin may never be able to in
ierpret his uttersnces but he is true to
somebody and to some duty. IL may be
like the loving mother who keeps a
vestal lamp in the window that the long
lost son returning might not find his
home in darkness to him, he calls at
regular intervals that lost companion
or lonely mate passing as ship passes
In the night might hear him and come
10 his home. 1t may be that he tells a
nightly story to the stars or to the
storm king with the hope that they
will bear loving messages to a loved
one or some kindred far, far away and
tell them OF his Imprisonment and his
loneliness. Nobody knows.
And It may be again, that some
maiden OF his kind is faithful to her lost
lover and is keeping lonely vigils for
him. 1t may be somewhere In the
dense willows on the banks Of Snake
river that this lonely maiden tells her
nightly story to the laughing, sparkling
waters as they roll downward and on
ward TO the sea that they may repeat II
along the banks and with the hope that
somewhere IL may be heard by her long
lost lover. No, nobody knows.

NEW FOR BLACKFOOT.
A Novel Wedding Near at Hand.
n Marriage of Strangers.-Par-
ties Who Hare Never Net.

Multifariousness in a matrimonial
celebration is as much a condiment as
variety is spice in everyday life. This
Is true as the Latin phrase: De gustibus
non est disputandum. Every man to his
liking in the dash of the spice box.
Blackfoot is to have something new
In the near future, not as told in the
stories of our little bird, not an elope-
ment extraordinary from unrelenting
and unforgiying parents, but between
parties whose loving eyes have never
looked into the others eyes that speak
back love again, whose hearts have
never been thrilled by the touch of
hands but who will meet and marry as
strangers, both however, experienced
voyagers on the matrimonial sea.
Next week widow from the City of
Brotherly Love far, far away to the East
and the rising sun is coming to Blackfoot
to give her heart, her hand and her for
tune to widower who is ready to pledge
her his love, his home, his protection
and defence as long as there is love and
happiness in the home.
Blackfoot is accustomed to pretty
home weddings, fashionable church
weddings, and Blackfoot is veritable
Gretna Green for Montana eloping
parties, but the approaching mar
riage of strangers one to the
other raises her young people to
height on tip-toe Of expectancy that has
never been reached here when the
auricles OF the hearts of contracting
parties were expected to quicken their
work under the excitement of mar
riage celebration. The young folks are
all agog at the approach of the novel
wedding. They will all be there. The
widower and the widow will not be with
out witnesses to occupy front seats at
the marriage ceremony, they will not
feel bad for the lack OF congratulations.
To bid good bye to the beautiful
Quaker City, the Centennial City,
where the patriotism of all countries
was once gathered and come West, and
cross the great Continental Divide
where there is parting of the waters
to strange town and a strange people,
giving up kindred, friends and acquain-
tances for one who has promised to love
her and call her his own, makes the
widow woman Of wonderful nerve and
''faith in the unseen" To her, her past
is history, her future is mystery.

Many Years.

San Francisco, Jan. 24-Tne assas-
sination by highbnders last evening Of

sation in Chinatown than any other
happening in years. The streets in that
quarter are crowded tonight with ex

Getty of highbinders. who are celebrat-
ing the death of their most powerful
enemy 1t is said that the murdered
man was to have received $40 900 for
destroying the See Yup society. and
that he was backed in his efforts by the,
Chinese vicerOy, King Owyang. The
consulate is heavily guarded tonight,
as it is well known that the See Yups

head of the vice-consul. 1t is under
stood that the assassins of Little
Pete received $4,000 for their work.
The Sam Yups have been thrown into

Wong Sing and Chin Foy, the two
men under suspicion of having killed

STRIKE SETTLED"
Good News Received in Denver
From LeadviIIe.
Announcement Made From the Stage
of the Various Theatres Causes
Great Cheering-There May Be
bitches.

Denver, Jan. 24.-The report was
spread about the state tonight that
the Leadville strike had been settled.
No report has ever caused such good
feeling and general rejoicing among
the people of the whole state. At the
theatres when the curtains fell on the
first acts. it was announced from the
stages that the strike was settled. Au-
diences rose in their seats and cheered
most wildly In the largest and most
fashionable theatre in Denver, which
held about 1000 people, the cheering
continued until the curtain rose on the
second act.
1t was not until midnight that the
exact situation could be learned. 1t
appears that there has been bolt OF
a part of the union members, and
these have resolved TO cut loose from
the dictation of the leaders and seek
work in the mines. While it has not
settled the strike, it is hoped that it
may soon reach that end. The most
extravagant claims of the boilers still
leave a good majority in the union.
Eugene V Debs has urged the men 10
accept a proposition from the mine
owners, which guarantees the re-em-
ployment of the strikers. 1t is be-
lieved that if the miners would get
from under the inHae4oe of their Of
fcers and men from outside the camp
they would soon declare the strike off.

SLIPPERY PAVEMENTS.
Some in New York Are Really as
Bad as Our Own.

New York, Jan. 24.-This city has a
long casualty list tonight of persons
who were injured by falls on slippery
pavements, occasioned by a snowstOrm
which began at II o'clock, lasting until
early in the evening.
The fall of snow came out of the
west and played around all day. 1t
was a lively snowstorm, heavy enough
to make its presence felt, but con-
siderate enough to cease in the evening
before traffic was interfered with. The
greatest inconvenience was caused to
pedestrians. From all over the city
tonight came police reports of persons
who had fallen on slippery sidewalks
and been injured more or less serious
". The storm was general in this
section and the elimination of the eff
forts which the clouds above have
been making for two days to let go of
something.
