cation of Criminals.

The Sheriff's Force Is Taking Lessons in
Photographic Complete Descrip-
ton and Record VIII Be Kept
OF All Criminals.

| Sheriff Regain II about to inaugurate
a system long needed in Silver Bow
county for the better identification of
criminals and 10 keep record of them.

he purchased phatographing outfit,
and in future all criminals brought to
the county Jail will be photographed

scription of the subject with name,
age, dates and statement of the crime
FOR which he is held. The county Jail
in its time has held some notorious
criminals and men suspected of being
wanted in other parts of the country,
but their identification has been all but
impossible owing 10 the fact that good
descriptions Of them could not be given.
With the photograph record system this
and all other work in identifying and
keeping track of criminals viii be sim
plitied.

the deputies We're taking lessons in

the matter of rates to Alaska first came

Very Superior Production and Well
staged.


All of Lincoln J. Carriers previous ef-
tforts IN the production of scenic plays
pare overshadowed by Under the
/, Dome which was produced at Ma
I CURES opera house last night. The
splay is in a scenic way beyond any
tof his other plays and the dramatic
} construction is vastly superior. the lat
ter being probably due to the fact that
the play was written by j. A. Frazier
In the scenic portion. however. the work
81 Mr. Carter is recognized. There are
Two astonishing Illusions in Under the
Dome. one is marvellous produc-
ton of hurricane which swept the
harbor of Apia ON March II. 1889, and
which caused great loss of life and
wrecked six big war ships. The scene
shows the battleship Trenton battling
with the elements in vain attempt 10
keep afloat. The audience went Wild
over the scene and the curtain was
raised on it half dozen times An
other clever stage Illusion is ferry
boat trip from Jersey city Ia New
York. in which the audience, without n
great stretch of Imagination, feels it
sell on board the boat and moving
across the river. There are several
other very pretty scenes in the play
among them the capitol grounds at
Washington and Samoa scene and
coral reef on its harbor.
The players in Under the Dome are
also so much superior To the usual conn
panies producing Mr.. Carter's plays.
Among them are A. w Fremont. j
W. Fox. w. a. Evans. r. ]. Johnston

The play will run the remainder OF the

stroyed by fire this morning The

ture, i0x60 feet, and was owned by Mrs.

months for some time The place was
run by Barney Levy last summer, but

awakened by his dog, and smelling
smoke, jumped out OF bed and found
the whole interior of the house on fire

that only parler set and few other
articles of furniture We're saved An
alarm OF fire was turned in from Box

TO CLOSE THE SALOONS
The Resolution Was Put Out as
a Feeler.
IN THE INTEREST OF LAW
The Matter Will Be Pushed and May Be
Made an Issue in the Next Elec-
ton An Agitation Is
Contemplated.

IL seems that the resolution intro
duced in the council meeting Wednes-
day evening for the closing of all sa-
Goons from midnight until 6 o'clock in
2the morning was put in as a feeler. but
q determined effort is to be made to
Gbring this around. Aldermen Pascoe
land Cannon were the only ones who
voted in favor of the resolution. but an
<agitation is contemplated in favor Of
St and those in favor of the movement
twill try again after the matter has been
thoroughly discussed. If there is an
other failure then the new council will
Ibe tried and the matter may be made
an issue in the coming election.
Alderman Pascoe who introduced the
resolution. said yesterday in regard to
1.-THE matter:
There was no josh about that resolli-
Hion. l introduced it as a feeler but |
am going to do all | can to have il
passed eventually and l believe it is
only a question of time when ii will be

aoons closed at midnight there would he

dectly satisfied of that.
The only oppost ion To this resolution

saloon keepers who do legitimate
business and nearly all of the men
above Park street are in favor of clos
ing at midnight Between midnight
5and a. IN. they seldom do business
fenough To warrant keeping open. They
scarcely pay for the help required and
for the lights and heating. After mid
night most of the people who patronize
saloons go down to the bad lands aud
the saloons down there make the money
in those hours. There is where the rob-
bling and the fighting and the killing
takes place. and much of the crime in
that part of town would be averted if
the saloons were closed nj midnight or
at ! o'clock at the farthest
Il have talked with Mayor Harring-
ton on this subject and he favors the !
movement. He believes ii the best way /

ment who live in the bad lands and get /
their living down there Some alder T
men who promised To vote for this reso- /
luton did not do so. but | have strong
hopes of eventually securing its pas

the resolution. but it viii some day he

1t is time for the law and order eie- /
ment to run this town. All citizens /
