Among Them to Provide Deli
cacies for the Sick and
wounded

The arrangements for the three balls
to be given Friday night for the 'bene-
fit of three Butte companies of the LIST
Montana volunteers, now in the Philip
pines, are now complete, and there are
prospects that the attendance will be
such that the sum realized cannot be
set down in less than four figures, as
much interest is being taken by the
people of the city generally, who ap-
preciate that the Butte boys who went
to the front against the Filipino saw
ages are now more than ever entitled
to all the benefits and comforts good
sized company funds will provide them
with.
The three entertainments are being
given by the Musicians Mutual Pro-
tective union of Butte and will be given
at the same TINE, beginning at o'clock
Friday evening, at Renshaw hall, the
Auditorium and Miners union hall. At
Renshaw hall band concert by the
Boston & Montana band will precede
the dancing. and at the Auditorium an
other concert will be given by the Alice
band.
There being but two bands, no con-
cert can be given at Miners Union hail.
but a fine orchestra will provide music
for an excellent dancing programme.
Prior to the beginning of the enter
tainments, the largest band that ever
paraded the streets Of Butte, composed
of 80 pieces, the Boston & Montana and
Alice and other members of the Must
clans union will give an open air con-
cert On the PRINCIPAL street. All the
n,cmbers Of Captain Stjvers' troop OF
Rough Riders have promised to attend
in uniform and the ,Meagher guards will
be present at the Auditorium.

tire expense of giving the entertain
ment, and the gross proceeds Will be
turned over to Andrew j. Davis, who

his own expense, with Instructions that

a third placed in the company fund
