RAlDED BY BURGLARS.
Two Stores, the Post Office and Barber
Cboo EpEaraI - Foe4ar

Two Stores, the Post Office and Barber
Shop Entered at Foster.
Tuesday mornining early Sheriff
Mudd was requested to come to
Foster with the blood hounds and
investigate a wholesale burglary OF
the town which had taken place
ssme time during Monday night
Mr.. Mudd and Joe Graves answered
the call with the dogs. On arriving
at the little town it was plain to be
seen that the dogs could not work
as a hundred or more people had
tracked the ground about the build
ings where the robbery had been
committed.
The buildings entered were tie
two general stores of Hart Bros the
post Office and barber shop.
The thieves got nothing from the
post Office as the postmaster had
taken all the stamps and other valu-
ables of the Office home with him.
The contents of the barber shop
were not molested.
At the general stores of Hart
Bros, about $50 to 500 worth of
goods was taken, consisting of cut
lsry, clothing, shoes, etc.
They made full investigation of
the affair but were unable to get
clue that would lead to arrest.
Deputy Sheriff Graves informed
us that the impression prevailed
among the people of the town with
whom he talked that the robbery
was committed by local talent.

sold more goods last week than any
one week since they have been in
business in Butler. Good goods,
low prices and square dealing will
always win.
We have every merchant in our
line to fight; they are all against US,
and some of them resort to very low
tricks, they will not meet our price S
on same quality of goods. but try to
make you believe our barb wire, our
buggies, our pumps, or anything we
handle, is not as good as theirs, this
is their main hold, in fact, that is
all that is left for them to say, as
they will not acknowledge to you
that they will not sell as cheap,
when in fact, that is the real truth.
We handle the best barb wire made
in the United States. Our buggies,
spring wagons, Surveys, etc. are
made by the Studebaker Bros. and
Columbus Buggy Co, which are &C
knowledged to be the best firms
known, and we are selling lots Of
them, and warrant every rig We sell.
We are satisfied with SIS 90 profit,
while others want and ask from S25
to $40 profit on every rig. Come to
US if your want good buggy that
you can't break down the wheels,
and the paint won't come off the
first time you get it muddy.

THE eMove uPp DINNER.

An outerowth Of q Breakfast Recently
Given In Washington by Mrs. Davis.
Now we have progressive dinnersI
We have had progressive euchres, pro-
gressiye salmagundi parties and pro-
gressiye what not, but the progressive
dinner is brand new Only two or three
have as yet been given in New York,
but they have been pronounced SO alto
gether delightful that the innovation
will unquestionabIy develop into fad.
Society, you know, is ever quick to
grasp at anything which tends to relieve
the monotony Of things.
The progressive dinner really ex-
plains itself 1t is just like any other
progressive game. The guests are seated
at small tables and at the end Of each
course half Of them move up" In this
way there is constant changing Of
faces, and conversation is never suffered
to lag
To show how new the progressive
dinner is it is only necessary to state
that it is the outgrowth Of a breakfast
recently given in Washington by Mrs.
Davis, wife Of Senator Cushman. X.
Davis Of Minnesota, in honor Of Mrs.
Dole, wife Of the Hawaiian president.
The several tables at this especial fune-
tion were grouped about the room, the
largest being occupied during the first
course by the hostess and guest Of honor
alone This left four places vacant, which
were filed in turn by guests from the
other tables 50 that every one in the
room during the ? courses was afford
I'd the opportunity Of chatting with the
hostess and guest Of honor.
The plan Of a.e progressive dinner,
however, is somewhat different The
guests are placed at small tables, seat
ing four persons. At the conclusion Of
the first course the hostess taps bell.
That is the signal for the grand
change,
Two Of the diners, lady and gentle
man, facing, say, north and south, move
up to the next table, from which two
others have moved mp, and SO "a until
every fable has new personnel. The
pair remaining at each table change
their positions so that they are no lon
ger facing each other, and in this way
when the end Of the second course is
reached no two Of the guests are per-
mitted to remain at the same table,

The largest wild beast bounty pay
ment ever made in any state is now be-
ing made at Helena, Mon. 1t amounts
10 $50, 600 and represents the balance
due on the states payment on the skins
of i6,698 wolves and coyotes killed in
1897. The total cost to Montana S state
government for the killing Of these ami
mails in 1897 amounts to ss5, 657.
though claims for more than $3.50, 600
were filed aud verified. Besides this
great sum paid by the state, at least as
much more is paid by counties and

the cost TO Montana OF keeping its wolf
supply stationary-for the bounty has
no effect in lessening the rum er-is
not less than s400, 600 q year.
