Here we are again. The famous
original Irish comedians, Murray and
Mack, have become sort Of q staple
article in the theatrical world. Year
after year they present their roaring
farces and the public never seem to tire
of their Irish witticisms. This season
they appear in Billings on Monday next,
October 80. and present their successful
comedy "Finnigan's Ball." Murray
and Mack have surrounded themselves
with a company this year that will un.
doubtedly be the farce comedy organ.
ization on the road. They have neither
spared timo or money in making it an
elaborate production. The costumes
are Of Persian Design and are very
Frenchy, and the blending Of colors
when draped on a lot Of pretty and
shapely chorus girls, will make a de.
lightful and pleasing picture to the eye.
Murray and Mack have used great care
III the selection Of the principals Of the
company. each one is particularly suit
ed to his or her line OF business and are
well-known footlight favorites. Miss
Kittie Beck, that charming little ray Of
sunshine, assumes the role of Katie
Casey. and there is never a dull mo.
ment when this little lady is on the
stage. Miss Wayne Taylor, for many
years leading coincidence Of prominent
opera companies, plays the role Of Mrs.
Con Casey Conlan and sun the part
Of Widow Gallagher. she being the only
one left now that portrays true to life
typical old Irish woman. Chas. Barry,
son of the late Billy Barry, plays Weary
Walker, and can be said to be one Of
the best stage tramps III the business.
There are thirty members in the com.
pany, a chorus Of we'll trained voices.
The singing department. is said to be
especially fine. A new and novel finish
at the closing of the performance is a
medley composed Of Sousa's marches,
this being original with this company.

BoZeman, Oct. ia business deal
Of considerable Importance was con-
summated today when the Bozeman
Chronicle, of which Yerkes & Fell
have been publishers and editors, were
sold to David Marks, trustee, for
ST. 900.
Mr.. Marks stated to the reporter that
the property was purchased by a non.
resident. who has been endeavoring to
get a newspaper plant and property in
Montana for some time past.
The new proprietor will o his
family here in a few weeks, but just at
present MI. Marks refuses to divulge
his name, but says, however, that the
paper will be a democratic paper, ad-
vocating the principles Of Jefferson,
Jackson and Bryan. The Bozeman
Chronicle was established by Samuel
Langhorn in 1882. and he and A. K.
Yerkes purchased the plant in Chicago.

1t is to be hoped that Messrs. Yerkes
& Fell, who have just sold the Boze-
mar Chronicle, will not retire from
the Montana newspaper field. Besides
being genial gentlemen, they are both
talented jou1nalists-one. as a graceful
and polished writer and the best
humorist in the west, and the other az
a successful business manager. Mon
tana newspaperdom cannot afford to
lose msn of this character.

at Tuesday nights meeting that the

representative Of the company, which
has not yet fixed a price, and may
or may not be correct, but it seems to
strike the council as too high. One al

is probably true, and the Econcensus of

It il generally believed that the water

The democratic newspapers having
despaired of inducing Dewey to accept
the presidential nomination of that
party, are now trying to make it ap-
pear that the relations between the ad-
miral and President Mckinley are
strained. In other words, they are
~endeavoring to stir up a row between
the worlds greatest naval hero and
statesman, but the two are in thorough
accord OIL all questions regarding the
Philippine wal and the effort will
prove futile.

payers are all paying the special three
mill tax voted by the Billings school
district last spring, Notwithstanding
the recent decision of the supreme
court as to it's legality. and the
chances are that no objection will be
made. If they are, it will result III

the person who objects to paying the

say that. whatever may have beef

excellence, that promise has certainly

progress, the beauty and excellence of
the Billings edition is particularly
gratifying rs the supervision of the
illustrations and general makeup Of the
Yellowstone journal edition is in the
hands Of the same gentleman (Mr. Car.

Billings. Quoting from that portion
of the Billings special edition devoted
to u review of the enterprise, Mr..
Boardman, the editor Of The Billings

General Fred Grant won a victory
over the rebels at Manila the other
day, and it is a noticeable fact that the
same crowd in this country that sym.
pathized with the rebels his father
fought in '63, is manifesting the same
solicitude for the Philippine rebels.
But that crowd Of copperheads was
porperly rebuked by the people at the
national election in 1854, and history
will repeat itself next year. The people
will entrust no political party with
power that is against the government

THE FEUD.

The evidence multiplies that the
Clark.Daly fued is going to be fought
ont to a finish in the political arena of
this state. A few weeks ago the Liv-
ingston Enterprise was purchased and
turned into a democratic or free silver
paper, it being given out that the trans.
action was a DAILY deal, and now the
Bozeman Chronicle has been purchased
BY David Marks of Helena, as "trus-
tee" This is ne doubt a DAILY move,
Mr.. Marks being one of the trusted
lieutenants at the capital Of that fac
tion. The Chronicle, the dispatches
say, was purchased Tor a O resident
of the state, but however that may be,
it was purchased because it esroused
Senator Clark's election and because it
is for State Senator Hoffman for the
democratic nomination for governor.
Mr.. Hoffman was a Clark supporter in
the legislature and the DAILY crowd, it
is said. has every democrat who voted
for the Butte millionaire, marked for
slaughter. In furtLerance Of this plan
an effort has recently been made to
purchase the democratic paper in Bill.

also to have a democratic paper before

doubt other deals are on foot to secure
anti Clark democratic papers through.
out the state.
All of which goes to show that the
democratic fight is going to wax SO
warm in Montana that the, prospects
are every day becoming better for the
republicans to redeem the state next
year. The record that the democrats
have made in this commonwealth is a
shameful and disgraceful one and, as
these columns have frequently pointed
out, some of the corruption is going to
be shown up in the trial Of the Well
the supreme court. Add to this the
shoel that the Clark and DAILY news.
papers will raise, and it will be seen
that the prospects are excellent for a
fine old democratic row. The fight is
not going to be confined to the populous
counties Of the west side, IS has for
merly been the case-the DAILY crowd
is reaching out and organizing wher-
ever a Clark legislative democrat is to
be found. The programme is to kill
them off. but they are so numerous that
it is going to be a big job.
The bigger it is, however, the better
it will be for the republicans. The
party in this state is rapidly becoming
unified. Former republicans who cast
their lot with the Bryanites in '96 are
returning to their first love, the indica-
lions now being that there will be no
semblance of a silver republican organ.
ization next year. All the republicans
have got to do to win, in fact, is to
keep before the people the corrupt
methods that have been in vogue since
the democrats were entrusted with
p~ower-the democrats themselves are
exposing them.
