COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.

| COnsAittee to Report ON Saloon ClOsi NE
| Petition-Other Matters.
The city council will meet in regular
monthly session tonight at the fire hall
The first meeting in the month ia al.
ways the most i1nportant one and the
aldermen will find it SO tonight, there
being several matters Of Importance to
come before the body. Y..'.......
The committee appointed at the last
meeting to report upon the petition
asking that the saloons be closed from,
! IL o'clock each night until s q. IN. /,
and all day Sunday, will make it's re.
port, which will, without doubt, be
against the prayer Of the petitioners.
This matter, when called up in the
meeting, will probably produce con-
siderable discussion, which will be ill.,
terestiug. =.
Another matter of no less impor tance
is that of allowing liquor to be sold in
the houses Of ill.repute, and it is likely
that the council will instruct the city
treasurer to collect city liquor license
from those houses. A question similar
to this has risen before, but the keepers
of the houses have contended that they
pay a license for carrying on their
business and can not or should not be
made to pay liquor license, but the
present council thinks otherwise and
will put it to a test Liquor is known
to be sold in large quantities in the
prescribed district and the city reaps no
revenue from it. The houses will be
made to pay the regular city license OF
$50 per quarter or will be compelled to
stop selling liquor. Each house will be
treated alike, all being called upon to
put mp or shut up.
1t is barely possible that u report
may be MADE by the committee into
whose hands was placed the petition of
W. Is. George, some three months ago,
for franchise for al electric street.car
line. Either the committee has over.
looked the matter or it has found
resting place in the pigeon. hole of some
alderman's desk. Mr.. George says the
council treats his petition like childs-
play, but he says it is nothing OF the
kind and that he may call the turn Oh"
the aldermen one Of these fine days as
Billings advances in growth so rapidly. |
Let us hope he may.
Together with these matters will
come an unusually big pile of papers,
which are known as bills. Each one
must have the U. X. Of some officer,
besides those of the auditing commit.
tee. Among these will be one of $500
for the new street sprinkler purchased
by the city.

her errors in this one inning, but left
few for the eighth. when she allowed
the visitors to score two more uhearned
runs, the only earned run Of the game
being made in the ninth on three
bagger by Hines and single by Wells.
The hits, it will be observed by the
score, were six and six, but Billings
had made eight errors while Helena
had made but two; that tells the tale.
Billings would have won the game il
McNeeley had been properly supported,
but the team had not had sufficient
practice and could not give it to him.
The main features Of the game were
Flannerys fielding at third base and
his beautiful single in the fifth, bring
ing il two runs; Scott's work in left
field, Catcher freeman throwing to
bases and the pretty work Of Helena's
second and third basemen and short
stop. The visitors had won through
their superior fielding and were en-
titled to the victory, although, as the
Helena Independent we'll said, they
had to work like hired men to do it.

First United States cavalry, stationed
at Sheridan, Mayor Chas. Lewis Of
Sheridan, Alderman s. D. Garfield and

sion Of the visit was that the party had
come here to meet the congressional
delegation which was returning from a
junketing trip to Alaska, and act as
an escort for them to Sheridan. where
they were to inspect the military post.
AS the train did not arrive until late
and it was not known until some time
after that the party was in the city. no
attempt was made to entertain them at
the club or show them about the city.
The Gazette reporter, who enjoys a
personal acquaintance with Congress-
man Burkett, called Oh the gentleman
ut his car in the Burlington yards and
met the members of the party. All
had good word to say for Billings,
being wonderfully impressed with our
city's marked activity. Senator Hay.
ward remarked that he could not see
how one could fail TO like this country
when we had such delightful climate,
which seemed to voice the sentiments
Of all.
Saturday morning the congressional
party arrived, composed of the follow
ing gentlemen: Congressman Hull,
who is chairman Of the committee on
military affairs; congressman Payne
and Young Of New York, Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, Warner of Illinois. Heat.

tinue it's journey homeward.

COUNTY FAIR DATES
The 1899 Meeting Will Be
Held September IL, 13,
IA and IS.
WILL BE A BIG EVENT
Big Preparations for It's Success
There Will Be Many At
tractivc Features.

IXhp board of directors Of the Vel.
lowstone County Fair association have
set September IL, l3, a and Is as the
days for the 1899 fair meeting. This
was decided upon at a meeting Of the
directors Saturday. The fair last year
was not held until tho latter part uf
September. The change this year was
brought about by reason of wishing to
get the race horses which will be at the
Big Timber race meeting the latter
part Of this month. Secretary O'Don-
nell has received word that Big Timber
will have between twenty and thirty
horses in readiness for our fair, which
will insure some splendid races. The
directors will put up nearly $1,000 in
premiums and race purses. Although
no special features have been provided
for as yet, the directors PROMISE us that
everything will be done to make it the
crowning event in the history of Vel
lowstone county fairs.
The fruit, vegetable and grain ex.
hibit will probably outrival all former
attempts. An effort will be made to
have the largest representation of
Grow Indians chat have ever assembled
in Billings. This has always been a
good drawing card for the fair 1t is
also likely that series of ball games
may be arranged for two or more days.
From now on the directors will meet
quite often to shape the work fcr the
coming fair and the interest which is
already being manifested betokens a
grand event.

TWO GOOD BALL GAMES
Helena Won Them Both but
Had to Work to
NJ Do It.
BAD TEAM WORK DID 1T
Billings Bunchcd Her Errors and Got
Rattled-l'i -l'isgraceful ROwdy-
ism on the Fiell

Billings had another virulent attack
Of baseball enthusiasm on Saturday
and Sunday, about 200 people turning
out to see the first game with Helena.
and nearly 1000 spectators being pres.
ent Oh Sunday. Notwithstanding a
threatened rain storm. which no doubt
kept many away. And the people saw
two good games and are still enthusi.
astic, even though Billings did lose.
She cannot expect to win every game
and, as said by The Gazette last Fri.
day, the home club had not yet been
pitted against real ball team. But
Billings was up against 1t good and
hard with Helena and, considering the
lack OF practice and almost utter ab-
senoe Of team work on the part Of the
home club, it did remarkably we'll to
hold the champions from the capital
down to two close games. They dem
onstrated that Helena has the best club
on account Of its team work and con.
slant practice; the individual playing
of the visitors was little or no better
than that of the Billings boys. But
the champions played steady ball and
did not get ratified, outfielding their
opponents and proving to be superior
base runners. However, they had to
work very hard to win, notwithstand.
ing that they had strengthened their
team by the addition Of Butte's best
pitcher, Anaconda's crack infielder and
various other players from different
points Of the compass. But Billings
did the same thing and has no kick
coming Oh that score. She was out
played by Helena; the capital has the
best club on account Of the practice il
has had and it's team work. And II
Billings expects to play winning ball
with such teams her club must practice
constantly, study the points Of the
game closer and get down to team
work. Otherwise she will have to
drop back to the Miles City class OF
ball playing and admit that the com.
pany Of the western Montana clubs is
too fast for this town.
