BOSTON Wool Market,

Boston, Sept. 6.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow
The trade as a whole reports a quiet
market during the past week. but few
houses have consummated some good
sized deals as result. The total sales of
the week aggregate a large total, one
house alone disposing of about 1000 900
pounds of WOOL comprising 1,s000 900
pounds of Montana. Most houses report
a small business. but there is no diminu-
ton in the strength previously shown, and
at top figures. Manufacturers, it appears,
have been testing the market for all it is
worth and are doubtless satisfied that
they have had a strong market to butt
against.
All cheap woods are practically elimi-
mated and old. notify woods have been
pretty well cleaned up and gone into con-
sumption so that the markets present a
clean stock, and a price which is low
to-day compared with that of other coun-
tries, particularly of fine wool
There has been considerable looking
around on the part of manufacturers
and lots of sample bags have been taken
which it is believed will lead to a good
business in the course of week or two.
Manufacturers are buying only such
woods as they need, however. and little
speculative tendency is noticeable in the
market to-day The sales of the week
amounted to 6,lS0500 pounds domestic, and
10000 pounds foreign. making a total of
b,64OOOO pounds. against a total of $780,
900 pounds for the previous week and a
total of 1905 800 for the corresponding
week last year. Sales since Jan. l. 1899.
amount to l9l,%77500 pounds, against 49,
SO4lOl pounds last year at this time.

An EnioYahle Party.

Missoula, Sept. 6-Miss Zetta Yer
rick, assisted by Miss Sadie Schmal-
housen, gave very enjoyable party at
her handsome home on South Third
street last evening. The principal
features of the evenings entertainment
were music and progressive hearts.
The souvenirs for the game were fancy
hearts, perforated on the edge with
small holes and advancement from one
table to another was marked by the
tying of small bows of ribbon in said
per- 'EHtions. AT the conclusion of the
games it was found that Miss Maggie
Roman had secured the first prize, a
silver heart, pierced by the darts of
Cupid, and Miss Katie Reeves the
BOBBY, candy heart. Those present
were the Misses Anabel Ross, Jennie
Darbee, Fay Murray, Katie Reeves,
Maggie Roman, Minnie Hathaway and

"Il Troyatore,"

I'll Trovatore" was given by the Bos-
ton Lyrics to another good audience at
the Grand last evening. The rendition
of the sweet, sad love story demon
strated the company to be fully as ca
pable in grand as in light opera. Butte
theater-goers have not for a long time
been treated to a more pleasing per-
Torrance. For the third time during
the week a new set of principals was
presented, who proved themselves fully
equal to that which they undertook.
The parts of Leonora, Azucena and
Manrio were sung with excellent eff
feet by Miss Andrews, Miss Leekley
and A. L. Parmley, the singing of the
Miserere by Mr.. Parmley and Miss An
drews being especially fine, and the en-
semble has rarely if ever been bet
ter in any Butte production of the
pretty opera.
This evening "Trebizonde" will be
presented. A cake walk will be made
a feature of the performance.

Opportunities for Americans When the
Instruction Is Ended.


'Wilr' Hardcastle. formerly deputy
coroner under DR.. Tremblay, and who
left Butte almost a year and a half ago
as a private in G. company of the 1st
Montana volunteers, arrived home yes
terday from San Francisco, where he
has been in the Presidio hospital since
June. Mr.. Hardcastle was taken with
typhoid fever the first of the year and
then developed a case of chronic dys-
sentery and had to be sent home. He
was in the hospital when hostilities
commenced and did not get to see any
of the fighting. He was sent home, ar
irving at the Preside in June, and has
just been discharged. He is not entire
ly well yet but is looking as we'll as
could be expected considering his long
siege of sickness.
Mr.. Hardcastle declined to have any
thing to say concerning matters in the
Philippines, as he said he did not think
it the place of discharged soldier to
talk about his superiors. He likes the
Philippines and says he thinks there
will be great opportunities for enter
prising Americans when the insured
ton is put down. He expressed himself
as glad to have had the experience of
going to war, and. Notwithstanding his
sickness, he had many pleasant recol-
lections he would not like to part with,
and yet he was gladder than all to get
back to Butte.

P. T. Barnum said: You do not, any
of you, advertise enough. You ought
to use printers ink every day. You are
asleep and want your business to run
itself. Standing advertisements in the
paper command confidence. The man
who for a year lives in one community
and leads reputable life, even though
he be of moderate ability, will grow in
the confidence and esteem of his fell
lows. On the same principle a news
paper advertisement becomes familiar
to the eyes of the reader" The Ana

New York. Feb. 2o.-The latest strange

husband, Edward Rogers. ana VIII ."e

undoubtedly open a new and interesting
field of investigation for the district at

Accidental Exposure.
It was by peculiar coincidence tnat
the identity of Mrs Rogers and MISS
Addison was established. She leased
the box from David Murdoch and his
wife, who keep a stationery store at 5o"
Columbus avenue, which Is only a few
blocks from the fiat at 81 West Eighty
sixth street where she was then living
with her mother and husband and where
Mrs. Adams was afterward poisoned
One day DR.. Albert A. Vedder of 100
West Eighty-sixth street, who was Mrs
Rogers dentist, was standing in Muir
docks store when Mrs. Rogers passed,
dressed in bicycle costume.
"Hello!" he exclaimed. There goes
Mrs. Rogers in a bicycle suit"

"Sne is a customer Of mine, too" re-
piled the dentist. eve met her hus-
band and her name is Rogers"
The Dentists Ruse.
This incident occurred about year
ago, and both the dentist and the sta
toner have occasion to remember it
from its bearing on subsequent events.
DR.. Vedder had a bill against Mrs. Rog-
ers for filling her teeth. He had sent
the bill to Mr.. Rogers. and it had not
been paid. While thinking over the
discovery of the dual identity of his pa
tient it struck him that it might be
good idea to send the bill again in the
name of Miss Addison.
He did so, and few days later Mrs.
Adams and Mrs. Rogers came together
20 the dentists Office. They wanted to
knew why he had sent the bill in the
name Of Addison. When DR.. Vedder
replied that he had learned that Mrs.
Rogers sometimes received mail in that
name, Mrs. Adams said that the name
Addison was her daughters right
name. They then paid the bill and
went away.
Mrs. Rogers then went to Mr.. Muir
dock and reproved him for revealing
the fact that she hired private letter
box from him under an assumed name.
She was-So indignant that she gave up
the box then there.
