Whereas, We believe that the gath
ering OF laundry, the calling for mail
at the postoffice, the distributing of
merchants handbills and unnecessary
work in stores on Sunday are examples
of Sabbath breaking in our own city;
therefore be it further
Resolved, Second-That we are op-
posed to such work on the Sabbath and
have, perhaps, though carelessly, been
countenancing it, to resolve with us to
stop such work in our own cases and to
use our influence to have it stopped IN
others, and especially by doing all Oh
our shopping between the hours of a.
m. and 6 p. M on week days, so as not
to ob1ige employees in stores to work on
Sundays on account of late evening
shopping; and that we earnestly peg
of the members of the Butte Ministers
association that they all unite on some
Sunday evening in the near future,
preferably on Independence Sunday,
July 2, in considering with their respec-
tive congregations the subject of Sab
bath observance and desecration.D
An invitation was extended to Miss
Eva Marshall ShontZ, the temperance
lecturer, of Chicago. to lecture in this
city on the 26th of June
The invitation from the B. 7. P. U.

A YOUNG PEOPLES UNION
Second Meeting of the Society at
the Baptist Church.
DISSERTATION OF SUNDAY
Vigorous Resolutions Adopted-Sabbath
Breaking Must Be Stopped--A
United Effort Will Be
Made.

The second meeting of the Young
Peoples Union of Christian societies
was held last night in the Baptist
church, and considering the inclemency
of the aggravating and disgusting
weather. there was a pretty good turn
out of young and old Christians. The
society or union was organized about
month ago, it's object being to draw
together the several young churchgoing
people of the city, so that the bonds
of good fellowship and love might
thereby be strengthened, to the end
that the cause of Christ might be per-
petuated by the rising generation of
Butte regardless of creed, sex or pre-
vious condition of sevitude. 1t is also
intended that these monthly meetings
shall be continued and it Is the prin-
ciple of members that all may become
better acquainted with one another and,
above all, to work increasingly to ex-
tend the manifold benefits of the sew
eral churches in Butte.
The union starts out with a healthy
membership, Differed as follows: Pres
ident, G. Mcpherson; vice president, A.
c. Boyer; secretary, Miss Annie Long
ston; treasurer, Miss NJ. r. l.. Riggs.
The board of directors is composed of
one member from each church repre-
sented in the union as follows: Church
of Christ, Mr.. Gruber; Emanuel Pres
byterian church. FL. j. Polglase; NJ e.
south, j. G. Brommet; Grace M. E., H.
8. Maxwell; South Butte Presbyterian,
Mrs. Will Davies; Baptist, r. l.. Set
ger; First Presbyterian, D. S. MOrri-
son; Mountain View, A. E. Bruce;
Walkerville NJ. E., L. S. Hamilton.
There was considerable discussion
last night over the following resolu-
tions, which We're adopted:
Whereas, This union of young peo-
pies Christian societies of Butte, Mont,
has been organized for aggressive work
in furthering all agencies which tend
to advance the cause of Christ, and,
Whereas, We believe that the desc
Grafton of Sunday as a rest day is an
tagonistic to this cause, and is becom-
ing more general, therefore be it
Resolved, First--That we are OPP
posed to all Sunday work on public
contracts, and that we respectfully re-
quest that all officials in authority who,
as representatives of the people, have
been allowing such Sunday work to be
done, cause the same to be stopped;
and that in order to secure the cooper
alton in this matter of Christians
throughout the country we suggest to
each society in this union that it in
dorse these resolutions and secure their
publication in the representative papers
of its denomination; and further that
we urge all young peoples societies to
whose attention this matter shall be
brought to draft petitions in support of
these resolutions and present the same

| up to almost the drop of the curtain on
the last act and the play closes with
the tangle only half unraveled and with
not sufficient suggestion even to give
an idea of how the troubles of the vari-
Gus characters might end. Isadore Rush
has an excellent part in the new come
dy and plays it we'll. Sheridan Upper,
Charles Wyngate, Lottie Alter and Al
thea Luce also played congenial parts.
His Fathers Boy has among it's
silent characters a wild cat mining bro
ker named Wynot, whose address is No.
26 Copper street, Butte, Mont, and who
is treasurer of the Trick Creek Mining
company. There are Wynots in Butte,
several of them, and the fact that one
of them is referred to in the play might
create the inference that it's author,
Sydney Resented, met one of them
upon his visit to Butte few years ago.
Mr.. Reed was again called before the
curtain last night and he made another
of his happy speeches, related a number
of funny stories and thanked the audi
ence for their recognition. He said he
did not believe an actor had any bust
ness to appear before the curtain and
was sure that many had no business
behind it.

VIOLATED GAME LAW.
Legal Proceedings Instituted Against
Marketing Concerns.


County Game Warden Thomas Curtis
Yesterday performed the first official art
of his official career, which has extend
ed over period of three years, by insti-
tuting legal proceedings against five
marketing concerns of Butte for viola
ton of the fish and game law. He
swore to a complaint citing ]. Bailey
the oxford market, Eisler & Gronberg,
the City market, the Montana Meat
company, the Utah market and E. C.
Mellen for violating that section of the
fish and game law prohibiting the sale
of certain kinds of fish and game at any
time unless caught in private ponds or
killed on private grounds. The COM
plant in each case, with the exception
of that against Mellen, charges the de-
PENDANT with selling and offering for
sale speckled mountain trout. The COM
plant against Mellen charged him with
selling quail. Four of the complaints
We're filed in Justice Nichols court and
the fifth. that against the Utah market
was filed with Justice Harrington. The
defendants We're given till Monday to
appear and plead. The law is the same
with regard to both speckled trout and
quail. Neither may be sold unless, as
stated. killed on private ground or
caught in private waters. The punish
ment for violation of the statute is a
fine of $25 to $500. The state game war;

Mrs. Scheuer denies that she has
turned her husband out of house and
home without means of procuring the
ordinary comforts or necessaries of life,
or has compelled him in his old age to
depend on friends for shelter, or for the
means of sustaining life. The defendant
says that ever since the property was
decided to her she has provided for her
husband and their two children. She
has prepared and fitted up a home for
the family near Woodville. about three
miles east of Butte, and took plaintiff
for the purpose of keeping him away
from whiskey and from his vicious
friends and where he and his family
might have pure air and water and in

be rented to defray the expense of keep

October they came to Butte so that the
children might go to school and in De-

Mrs Scheuer says she is at all times
willing to provide for her husband all
the necessaries and comforts of life, but
is not willing to furnish him whiskey
upon which to get drunk, for the reason
that when he is drunk he is always
brutal and abusive to her. calling her
all the vile names he can think of. Mrs.
Scheuer says she should not be required
to account for the rents collected for
the reason that they have all gone to-
ward the paying off of the mortgage
and for the support of the plaintiff and
family, and says that if the property
should be turned over to the plaintiff
he would dissipate and squander it for
whiskey for himself and friends and
leave the defendant and the family.

"HlS FATHERS Boy"
A Strong Play, Full of Most Laughable
Situations.

Situations.
Roland Reed presented for the first
time in Butte last night his new farcical
play, His Fathers Boy" and the pop
ular comedian made good the eXpecta-
tions of the play and his own part in it.
The play is a strong one and full of the
most laughable and complicated situa-
ton growing out of William Pennies
(Mr. Reed) invention to get a money al
lowance from his wife for the support
of a mythical son by former marriage,
which was also fiction. The charac-
tiers are admirably drawn and as a
whole the play is probably the best Mr..
Reed has ever appeared in as a star.
There are a few things about it, how
ever, that can be improved on. The
first thing is the title. His Fathers
Boy is not name that would suggest
much of a play. 1t is better suited to
a nursery drama than to play like the
one it is named for The other objec-
ton to the play is the incomplete, sud-
den and abrupt ending. The complica-
tons of the story increase in perplexity

Mrs. Scheuer's Idea of Her Wifely
Duty.
PROPERTY Is HER OWN
She Alleges in Her Answer That Her
Husband is q Drunkard. and
That He Associates With
Bummers.
PROPERTY is HER OWN

Mrs. Isabella Scheuer, who was sued
a few days ago by her husband, Fred
erick Scheuer, to recover possession Of
lot of valuable property which he
claimed had been decided to her in trust
and in which suit he alleged that his
wife had turned him out on the streets,
filed her answer in the district court
yesterday. Scheuer claimed that he had
to deed the property to his wife in order
to get her to join him in a mortgage
for the purpose of raising $4,000 to lift
an attachment and prevent all the prop
erty being sacrificed at a forced sale,
all of which Mrs. Scheuer denies She
SAYS the fact is that he could not raise
the money by any means and the prop
erty was about to be sold and lost to
his family when Fred w. Scheuer, son
of the plaintiff and defendant, came to
the rescue and proposed to his father
that he deed the property in question
to Mrs. Scheuer and make her gift of
it, subject to the attachment claim of
w. A. Clark & Bro, and the plaintiff
cheerfully consented to do so. Mrs
Scheuer had $1,000 of her own money
and she took that and $4,000 more which
she raised on the mortgage and paid off
the attachment. She denies that the
property was decided to her for the sole
purpose of getting her to join in the
mortgage or that it was understood that
she should hold it in trust. She says
that she herself has paid off the mort
gage and denies that she has ever re-
fused to pay any share of the rents to
the plaintiff because he never desired
her to do so, and denies that the prop
erty in question is worth more than
$4,000, and says it is not so that 1t con-
stitutes principally all the earnings of
the plaintiff during his whole life.
Mrs. Scheuer says that since her mar
riage she has worked hard, not only do
Ing her own work and taking care of
the family as well as taking care of
plaintiff, but has assisted him in his
business and the property was acquired
principally through her efforts and
economy. She says her husband has
ever since their marriage. and princi-
pally during the last eight or 10 years,
been great drunkard and has been
thriftless and improvident and by rea-
son of such drunkenness and neglect OF
business has failed to attend to it or to
accumulate or retain the property he
otherwise would have had. Had it not

the business when the plaintiff was

Schumacher Must Answer for Second
Degree Assault.

Degree Assault.
Justice Nichols rendered his decision
yesterday morning in the preliminary
hearing of A: j, Schumacher, who was
charged with assault in the first degree
upon DR. Leo Hagen-Berger. He bound
the defendant over for trial in the dis
trict court for second degree assault
In giving his decision, Judge Nichols
stated that the law empowered COM
hitting magistrate with authority to
hold a defendant on a lesser charge
that that set up in the complaint if it
appeared that alpublic offense had been
committed. He did not believe the evil
dence offered by the state justified him
in holding the defendant on the charge
of first degree assault, but he did be-
lieve a public offense had been proved
and he would hold the defendant for
second degree assault. The defendants
bonds were placed at $500, which he
readily furnished.

Urgent Message for Relief at Iron
Mountain.

CHEY ENNE -(Wyo.), March 5.-An
urgent message for relief was received
to-day from the Cheyenne and North
ern train in the snow at Iron Mountain
The provisions were reduced to a few
beans and a little coffee, with forty
two persons on board They have been
showed in for six days. The conditions
are desperate, as the adjacent ranches,
where food has heretofore been OBJ
tanned, are about out of provisions.
Hon. John F. McDermott, John and
w. E. Foxton, who walked in from
the imprisoned train, report the cuts
drifted level full of hard snow between
here and Iron Mountain, and that the
only way of getting through with a
train will be by shoveling.
A relief train with a supply of pro-
visions and 100 shoyelers was sent out
this morning, but it cannot reach the
imprisoned train before tomorrow
morning. The blockade on the Union
Pacific was raised to-day and trains
are now running. 1t was with great
difficulty that the rotaries and wedge
plows managed to push through, as
the cuts were all piled full of hard
packed snow. The trains that were
imprisoned at Laramie came through
all the way from seven to twelve hours
late. The weather tonight is warm
and fair.

To Ama1gamate With Daughters of
the American Revolution.

WASHINGTON, March Sit is gen
orally expected that in the annual con-
vention of the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton at Philadelphia in April, one of
the principal topics of discussion will
be the proposed consolidation of their
organization with the Daughters OF the
American Revolution. For several
Years many efforts looking toward con-
solidation have been made but have al
ways failed because no mutual conces-
slons could be agreed upon. A plan
adopted at the recerA congress of the
Daughters of the American Revolution
grants larger concessions than any
heretofore. but while some of the most
prominent members of both societies
are willing to come together on any
reasonable terms, others are still
strongly opposed. Relative to the plan
now proposed, the following is an Off
cial statement from the Daughters Of
the Revolution:
Inc action taken at the recent con-
gress of the Daughters, of the American
Revolution looking to an amalgamation
of that society with the Daughters of
the Revolution was voluntary on the
part of the Daughters of the American
Revolution and not with the SANCTION
or at the request of the Daughters of
the Revolution.
There is no probability of a ssurren-
der by the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton Society and the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
