In Livingston.

! Livingston, Sept 21.-The Rocky
Mountain club is making extensive
preparations for the winter social rea-
son. The rooms have been handsomely
reprinted and papered and efforts have
| been made in many ways to make the
| place more attractive than it has been
| for years. A piano player will be en-
| ployed by the club this winter to give
| recitals four evenings in each week
| and number of billiard tournaments
have been arranged for the season. The
| ladies will have evenings set aside for
| them on which to enjoy the hospitality
| of the club and the programme mapped
| out by the management promises to
| render the organization immensely pop
ular and efficient in a social way.
An entertainment was given at Hef-
| ferlin's opera house Thursday evening
| at which Miss La Barre, an elocution-
list of Portland, Ore, delivered a very
creditable programme of selections.
Miss La Barre was at one time a resi-
dent of Livingston and figured in anna
teur recitals when here. Miss La Barre
was assisted by G. B. Joslyn, who
played a mandolin solo, accompanied
by Mrs. Joslyn on the piano. Miss Her
zig also took part in the prosra mme
rendering several vocal solos with
pleasing voice and manner. Miss La
Barre drew most of her Evolutionary Sc
lections from the simple poetry and
stories descriptive of child life. light
vein ran through it all and the young
reader showed that she had both under
standing and sympathy for the common
emotions of the heart. The audience
was large and appreciative and Miss

The business circles of the city will sus-

greet Mr.. Parks has been in Livinss-
ton Is years-has seen the city grow
from town of tents to substantial
brick blocks and business houses. Mr.
Parks has been repeatedly honored with
positions of trust by the people of Liv-
ingston and served as postmaster four
years under President Harrison. The
young men who have purchased the
business are in every way worthy of
the esteem and confidence of the bust
ness community and will doubtless do
a good business from the start.
City Attorney J. A. Savage had an
experience with a dog which convinces
MIN tnat refractory cannes are among
the things that need watching. Mr.
Savage received the dog from County
Commissioner Ebert Saturday and
locked him in his office that night. The
dog was very much attached to Mr.
Savage's safely means of a rope-but
after bowling for a while the purp
chewed the rope in two and proceeded
to inspect the contents of the office.
He chewed up the judges rubber hunt
ing boots and then began on the law
books. AS a digest the dog was even
more of bowling success than he had
been early in the evening, and collected
and assimilated enough law to insure
the dog admission to the bar When
Mr. Savage unlocked the door the next
morning the canine was calmly con-
templating the wreck of the office, and
seemed thoroughly satisfied with his
nights work. The lawyer was not,
however, and hereafter will tie the dog
with a chain in a log barn.
