DEATH OF JAMES CAMPBELL.
The Sad Event Occurred at Warm Springs
Where He Was Under Treatment.


Where He Was Under Treatment.
Frank E. Barnes of this city is in re-
ceipt of letter from John Campbell of
Duluth, Mimi, stating that his brother
Warm Springs some time ago for treat
ment, had died at the springs on Sat-
urday last. Interment was made at
Butte, but it is expected that the re-
mains will be taken to his home in
Prince Edwards Island later on.
Mr.. Campbell has another brother re-
siding at Rossland, B. c., who will
probably visit Butte during the winter,
and have the remains taken up and ac-
company them east
1t was learned here Friday evening
that Mr.. Campbells condition was
serious and that he was not expected to
survive the night His sad end is much
deplored by large number of friends
i'll this community.
Mr.. Campbell came here from Ana
conda, where he had been employed by
ID. Cohen, in 1889, to accept a position
as dry goods salesman with Freyschlag
q Evans at Granite, and since that
time he had held this position without
interruption, although the store had
changed ownership at least four times.
When Freyschlag, Huffman d Co. en-
gagged in business in Philipsburg, Mr..
Campbell was transferred from Granite
to this city to take charge of the dry
goods department, which position he
held with the Bimetallic Mercantile Co.,
the present owners of the establish
ment, when taken i'll last spriug.
Mr.. Campbell was trustworthy and
faithful employe; he was scarcely ever
absent from his post of duty, and IT is
believed that the deep interest he felt
in the business caused him to worry
more or less and seemed to unbalance
his mind. He was always Oh duty and
very seldom took a vacation or recrea-
tion Of any kind. He was about forty
Years of age and unmarried.

socn as he is sufficiently recovered to

Broke His Shoulder.

Saturday morning f. ]. Blakeney
boarded freight train to go to Wel;h
and after getting on found it was a
through train. 1t would neither stop
nor slow down and rather than lose

wait until the evening train came
through, bringing him home, for ned
ical treatment. He went out on the

ciOusly.

the Hallett Phillips collection OF In
dian implements and antiquities
from the Potomac valley. 1t is re-
puted the largest single collection OF
its class in the world, and its value
is greatly enhanced by the careful
arrangement and record of individ-
ual specimens. The collection con-
sists of over 1000 pieces, principal
ly spear and arrow heads, stone
knives, hammers and scrapers, frag-
ments of pottery and soapstone uten'

Mr.. Phillips had made lifelong
study of prehistoric man in the At
lantic tidewater region. In his opin-
ion, which is accepted as authority
BY the Smithsonian scientists, Wash
ington was not the first capital on
the banks of the Potomac. The site,
owing to the great advantage IN con-
nection with stone quarries and the
river fisheries, was the headquarters

AN IDEAL AFTERNOON.
RepIete With Musical, Literary and
Social Features.

In literal or absolute sense as
distinguished from the society ac-
cept alton of the term, Mrs. Dr.. c.
Bailey Bell and Mrs. John b.
Turner entertained their lady
friends Saturday afternoon in an
ideal manner. The cakes and ices
were unsurpassed in delicacy and
the taste exercised in arranging
the house was perfect. In the re-
ception of guests the utmost ease
and grace was displayed. In these
respects as well as in the makeup
of the company the affair was all
that those which have preceded it
have been. But to all these pleas
ing features was added that which
entities the entertainment to have
applied to it the term ideal-the

Following, as it did, Miss Gra-
per's concert of the preceding
evening, the program supplied in
a degree the desire or the hunger
for more, the performers with two
or three exceptions being the same.
Not only are Mrs. Bell and Mrs.
Turner to be congratulated on their
success in enlisting such an array
of talent, at such an opportune
time, but to a greater extent their
guests. 1t was truly a treat, all
the more so because each person
on the program responded Will
ingly to encores-some OF them
repeatedly-which in itself adds
no little to the enjoyment of their
performances. Most of the guests
departed about five o'clock but a
few belated ones remained to en-
10y Miss Maynard's singing. The
near approach of the time Tor the
flyer called forth her closing con-
tribution, "Home, Sweet Home, "
and she was driven directly to the
depot. A neat little program, en-
bellished with a measure OF music,
was given each guest as a souvenir
