Formosan CITY Abandoned.

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
The Jananese government has order
ed the destruction Of the city of Teck-
ham. Formosa, and the removal OF its
inhabitants to a new location. The
city is situated on the northwest coast
of the island. and has been frequently
subjected to pestilence. In 1896 and
1897 plaques visited Teckham with
enormous fatality. This fact being
called to the attention of the govern
ment, an investigation was ordered by
sanitary experts, who reported that
the city was built upon a swamp. where
upon an order was issued to the SOW
ernor to select new location as con-
venient to the old one as possible,
where the natural conditions were
hcalthful. A new city was laid out,
and each property holder in the cid
one was assigned a site that cores
ponded in area with that he occupied
at Teckham, and was given II months
to move his buildings and belongings.
Sewers. railroads and sidewalks, pub
lie buildings, waterworks and all other
public improvements were laid out by
the government in the new city with.
out expense to the people, but they
were required to pay the cost or the
removal OF their own property. Most
OF the houses and other buildings In
Teckham are built of very light wood
en- material.

High school eleven will meet the Butte
Reliance Football club in the second
game Of the series for the Junior cham
pionship. As will be remembered the
Anaconda boys went against the Re
lance team a week ago and were de-
feated by a score OF 6 to 0. The defeat.

a tumble which occurred when Ana
conda had the ball within two yards OF
Butte's goal line.
However. the High school players
have determined that no more such
fumbles shall occur. and TO the end
that such a contingency may be made
impossible. they have been practicing
all week. They have worked like beav-
ers and will keep up the practice until
next Sunday. when they expect to re-
verse the score.

Spokane Coming.

A telegram was received in the city
yesterday giving the information that
the Pacific Northwest league, includ-
ing Spokane, Seattle, Portland and Ia
coma, had gone to the wall The tele-
gram was from Spokane and asked the
local management for a series of games
in this city. The proposition is favor
ably looked upo by the local fans, all
of whom would be tickled to death to
have Spokane come here for a return
series.
1t will be remembered that, at the be-
ginning of the present season, the local
team played the Spokane team a series
of three games, out of which the Ana
condas got but one game. Therefore the
boys are more than anxious to meet
their old rival once more and even up
things. If a series can be arranged, it
will probably be one of three games to
be played on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday. The occasion would no doubt
be the greatest event in baseball circles
of the season.
The only thing that stands in the way
of a successful contamination of ar
rangements for h three games is the
fact that there is considerable doubt
whether or not the attendance would
warrant the engagement of the Spokane
team. The expenses would naturally be
very high, but the event would be worth
a good hard effort. Those who take an
interest in local baseball affairs will
make an attempt to-day to raise a suf-
ficient guarantee to warrant the Spo-
kane club in coming here. If a suffi-
cient guarantee can be raised here, ii
is more than likely hat Butte would
also engage Spokane for a series of
games, in which case the expenses
would be materially reduced.

BURGLARS AT WORK.

Midnight Prowiers.
Following the lead OF their prototypes
in Butte, the tough element of Anaconda
is going into the burglary business. Last
week there were two cases of burglary
reported to the police, and some time dur
residences on Hickory and Locust streets.
The residence of George Welcome, on
Hickory street, was visited. The barefoot
tracks of the providers were plainly Yisi-
bic on both the front and rear porches.
The midnight marauders were evidently
looking for pen windows by means of
which to gain an entrance. Not finding
any of the windows open. the thieves went
to the rear porch. where Mr.. Welcomes
larder is located. They went through the
refrigerator and swiped an especially fine
Sunday dinner roast, some butter and
some milk.
The thieves, no doubt the same fellows
who called upon Mr.. Welcome. also Wis
tied the Church residence, a few doors
away. Here they did find a window the
fastening of which had been neglected.
They entered the house, went up stairs

took their trousers and slid down stairs
again. The trousers. with the pockets ri
fed, were found upon the lower floor yes
terday morning. The burglars did not
make much of a aul as the pockets con-
tanned but a small amount of money.
The third burglary reported occurred at
the home of J. II. Griffin. IN Locust
street. where. as at Mr.. Welcomes
house. the thieves went through the re-
frigerator and took OF about everything
IL contained.
