IT'S A MUCH NEEDED REST
Police Officer Shea Is Taking q,
Lay-Off.

WAS SLEEPING IN HACKS

Police Officer Eugene Shea Is taking
10-days' lay off to procure a much
needed rest and to recuperate from the
fatigue of thief catching. 1t became
apparent a few nights ago that Officer
Shea was not getting nearly as much
rest as his constitution required, and
1t was decided to give him a few days
In which to rest up. One would not
think to look at Officer Shea that he
was more greatly overworked than his
fellow officers, but 1t was a fact, and
he got SO run down that he found it
necessary to sleep in hacks. Chief Null
holland recognized the fact that it
was not to the interest of the depart
ment to work the officers till they
found it necessary to sleep in hacks in
order to get all the sleep they needed,
and promptly came to Officer Shea's
rescue and voluntarily gave him a va
cation upon learning of his condition
Chief Mulholland's prompt and gener-
Gus action on learning how rapidly
officer Shea was running down at the
heel but demonstrates the keen inter-
est he takes in the welfare of the de-
partment.
The first intelligence of Officer shea's
condition came to the head of the de-
partment a couple of nights ago, when
message was received at headquar-
tiers that Officer Shea was feeling so
badly that he had found it necessary
to leave his beat and go to livery
stable, in the lower part of town, and
lie down in a hack. Captain Dawson
hurried to the barn with a restorative.
He found Officer Shea sleeping the sleep
that indicated he needed rest much

A LANDMARK DESTROYED
Tearing Down the Old Overland
Hotel.
IT WAS ERECTED IN 1866
The Life OF the Old Trading Post Clus-
tered About 1t in the EARLY Days
of the Territory - It's
First Proprietor.

Great Falls, Jan. 17.-Down at Fort
Benton they are tearing down the old
Overland hotel and thereby destroying
landmark second only to the old fort
itself. In the early days, it was the
center of activity, around which all of
the life of the trading post clustered.
However, the sentiment is not of the
kind which would perpetuate the build
ing, particularly when it is to be re-
placed by better. The hotel was erect
ed by Jacob Schmidt, who is now cor
oner OF Teton county, in the year 1866
The cost of the structure was consider
able, although it was frame building,
for all of the lumber had to be drawn
by bull train from Helena, and there
was more jonery in those days than
at the present time, when machinery
IS more widely diffused through the
state. OF the building and its first
proprietor, Fort Benton people tell the
following story:
Uncle Jake was the first landlord Of
the new hotel, which did a rushing
business right from the start Hired
help being scarce, Landlord Schmidt
frequently took a hand in waiting on
the table himself, and it was on one of
these occasions that his dignity was
so shocked that he decided to close his
prosperous hcstelry
1t was an exceptionally busy day: +he
dining room was crowded with guests,
and among those at one of the tables
was big six-foot freighter, who was
overlooked in the rush. He became tir-
ed of waiting, and when Uncle Jake
emerged from the kitchen with an arm
full of well-filled Dishes and passed by
the neglected freighter, the latter
reached out and gently jerked the land
lod's coat to draw attention to himself.
The trick failed to work, but when
Mr.. Schmidt made the next trip from
the kitchen, the jerk was repeated with
Vlgor that compelled recognition. It
brought Uncle Jake to a standstill.
For an instant, Landlord Sschmidt
was dumbfounded by the mans famil-
larity, but he quickly recovered himself.
There was an open window near by
through which he hurled his armful of
dishes, and then turning to the Offend
err, he shouted My name is Jacob
Schmidt. and I am the boss of this no
tel, and 1 want you to know I don't
allow any tam man to pull my coat
tall" Boiling over with Indignation,
Uncle Jake rushed to the tables, gath
cred up all the dishes and fired them
out of the window, and then, turning
to the astonished guests, said: Gen
tlemen, this hotel is closed" And clos
ed 1t was. as tight as a. drum. until
Uncle Jake's friends persuaded him to
reopen it for the accommodation of a
suffering public.
Mr.. Schmidt retired from the man
agement of the Overland in the fall Of
1866. and was succeeded by Robert
Mills, now of Lewistown. Among 9TH
er proprietors of that old-time and
popular hosiery were Captain Stafford,
T. c. Roosevelt, Rowe Brothers. John
j. Healy. John w. Tattan. John Huns
berger James Watkins, Billy Yard, P
B. Gallagher, Charles Rowe and other
well known citizens of Northern Mon
tana.

A Narrow Escape.

Great Falls, Jan. 1.-THE residence
of George L. King. situated on Main
street in Fort Benton had a narrow es-
cape from fire this morning. In some
unknown manner, fire was started in
one of the rooms and had gained con-
siderable Roadway before discovered
and an alarm turned in. The depart
ment responded promptly and the fire
was eXtinguished with slight loss, ex-
cept damage to furniture.
County Attorney Pray has been sum-
moned from Fort Benton to Havre to
investigate the death of a Chinaman,
in which there are some suspicious cir
cumStances.
On this morning, the jury commits

At the half way point he secured his

Kenosha at about 4:30 o'clock in the
afternoon the buggy was awaiting him
at the platform. He climbed into 1t

Christmas Boxes for the Great Falls
Soldiers Arrived December Ia.

Great Falls, Jan. 17.-Lieutenant
Charles French writes from Manila to
his brother, Sam French of this city,
that the Christmas boxes provided for
company A by the generosity of the cit
liens of Great Falls arrived there on
Dec. IA and had been unpacked. Cap
tain Moran was in favor of waiting
until Christmas evening before opening
the boxes, but employed his customary
good sense by leaving the matter to a
vote of the boys. They decided to open
them at once, and accordingly, the
contents of the boxes were distributed
at once. The following letter has been
also received from Manila:

~THE PLAYe

The Auditorium's motto, go Where the
Crowds Co. seems to be the eternal fitness
of all things, for immense masses of per-
sons continue to flood in lengthy streams
to this new and popular play house. Il
doesn't matter much what the show Is,
either. Fact is the crowds have begun to
flock there and seem to increase instead of
deterioriating. The prices are popular and
the people are beginning to appreciate
popular price amusement.
Last night the Peters Comedy company
opened for weeks engagement and the
attendance was fully equal to that of last
Mondays opening and the Auditorium with
its four thousand seating capacity while
not crowded was comfortably filled.
The opening bill was "Mugg's Landing"
and saturated with number of specialties
seemed to please the audience.
There will be a change of bill tonight and
every night this week and on Wednesday
and Saturday the management announces
bargain matinees.

Mr.. Handley's Benefit

Messrs. Thatcher, Clarke Handey and
Washburne put the audience at O'Brien's
opera house last night in a good humor at
the very outset by singing the ''Woes of the
Midshipmate." They, however declined to
be recalled
Miss Coffin sang with expression dance
of the Dragon Fly" and Mr.. Washburne
rendered very acceptably a solo from Mari
tana, entitled "In Happy Moments Day by
Day" Mr. Washburne was recalled, but he
came back TO announce the illness of
Messrs. Graham and Chalifoux, who had
been assigned numbers in the evenings pro-
gramme.
Mrs Chandler sang with her customary
skill and clearness an aria from Queen OF
Sheba more Regal in His Low Estate"
Then followed the first appearance of Miss
inez Straus. She sang my Heart at Thy
Sweet Voice" from Sampson and Delilah.
The low notes of her rich contralto voice
greatly pleased the audience.
After the intermission Mrs. Guckenberger
sang "Angus Mcdonald" and her sympa-
thetic womanly notes and clearly expressed
words so pleased the audience that they
long insisted upon her return, but she de-
clined to sing again. Mr.. Thatcher's air
from persian Garden was also very salts
factorily rendered, and he came back, sing
ing Whose Little Girl Are You"
Miss Leah Ullman sang very aeeeptably
when the Heart is Young" and Mr.
Handley closed the concert, which was
COMPLIMENTARY to himself, with the song
1.-The Two Grenadiers."
Altogether the audience went away well
pleased with a beautiful entertainment, and
Mr.. Handley must have netted from 1t a
handsome sum.

COMMITTEES MET.
The School Building Question Discussed
Action Postponed.

The finance and building committees of
the city council, and the committee from
the board of education held joint meet
ing in the council chamber last night to
discuss the feasibility and advisabiity of
building additional public school buildings.
At the last meeting of the council Messrs.
Ullman and Steiner from the board of edu-
cation appeared before the mayor and
board of aldermen and asked for an appro-
priation to construct additional school
buildings owing to the fact that the present
buildings are taxed beyond their capacity.
The matter was discussed by the board
and after number of motions was referred
10 the building and finance committees with
instructions to confer with the committee
from the public schools and put the mat
ter in some definite shape.
Last night the joint meeting was held and
after talking the matter over an agreement
was reached and agreed upon for the
schools committee to submit their PROPOSE
ton ito writing and arrange matters so that
something definite could be arrived at the
next meeting. The committees will hold
another meeting soon.

AN ERA IN The
CITY'S HISTORY
Opening of Loveman, Joseph &
Loeb'S Magnificent Store.
A SPLENDID EMPORIUM
Over 10000 Persons Visited the Estab-
tishment, Which is the Largest
South-A Veritable EXPOSE
ton Continues Today

The opening of the magnificent addition
to the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb building
yesterday marked an era in the CONNER
cal history of Birmingha
Augmented by this splendid annex the al
ready splendid store of this enterprising
firm stands out prominently as the largest
and most complete mercantile establish
ment in the south and second only to the
famous stores of the big cities of the east
and west.
Crowds of visitors thronged the empo-
rum yesterday, and only expressions of
wonderment and praise were heard.
The beautiful establishment, with its
thirty odd departments was dressed in hol-
iday attire, so to speak, the magnificent
displays being set off with garlands of ev-
ergreen stretched between the imposing
columns while palms and other potted
plants filled the hooks and corners, giving
an airy and elegant effect
The spacious show windows were most
tastefully dressed, the center window in
Nineteenth street being specially attrae-
tice, representing Industry" An autornat-
ic trip hammer beating out golden horse
shoes on an anvil was the central figure,
while a suspended Cupid novered over en-
blematic of peace.
The store was kept open until late hour
last night, and the crowds were even
greater than during the day. At o'clock
it was estimated by the heads of the firm
that &c, coo persons had visited the store up
to that hour.
The interior of the store Under the effect
of the brilliant electric light was bewilder-
ing, and from points of vantage had much
the appearance of some magnificent expo
sition hall.
Whilst it was not "salesday," it is said
that the house sold more than $1,000
worth of goods. 1t is but truthful to state
that the burden of the immense purchases
of stock for the store fell upon Leo Loeb
and B. F. Ezekiel. Mr.. Loeb is the super
intendent of the store. Mr.. Ezekiel Is the
superintendent of accounts. They two
spent weeks last summer in closely look
ing into the methods of the great depart
ment stores of New York. Brooklyn and
Philadelphia. They adopted everything
that seemed to them best, and their plans
as carried out by their firm made what is
one of the most perfectly appointed stores
in this or any other country. Mr.. Loeb and
Mr.. Ezekiel have had many years expert
| ence, and no men south are more compe-
tent than they to stock a great store like
that in Nineteenth street.

DEMONS TRATION TAME.
London Keenly Disappointed Over Re-
suit OF Yacht Race.

London, October flowing to the d.
unfinished interest after SO many abortive
attempts and partly to disappointment over
the results of today's race for the Ameri-
cas- cup, Londons demonstration was
rather tame. Great crowds had collected
on the Thames embankment and at other
places where the race was exhibited, and
the cheers were raised for both boats, but
the disappointment over the result was
very keen.
At the Hotel Cecil, where a crowd of
Americans had collected to await the an
nouncement of the result on the ticker,
cheers resounded. Yankee Doodle was
sung at all the music halls. When the re-
suit was communicated to the audience
there was a general manifesto ton OF dis
appointment, but this speedily gave place
to the heartiest cheers and the bands play
ed American tunes.
