Court House Square Transformed.

Missoula, May 16.-The efforts OF
Sheriff Curran and others of the present
county administration have been sue
cessful in completely transforming the
appearance of the court house square
this spring. In addition to the 800 trees
that have been planted around the
square and in the yard the prisoners
have been at work improving the
grounds by constructing gravel walks
and drives. The grading of the big
lawn around the jail and court house
has been improved and the new soil
seeded. In few weeks the place will
look like handsome private garden.
The trees planted have all taken a good
start.

Missoula, May 16.-John Stapleton,
the author of the hilarious farce, "a
Bachelors Honeymoon" which will be
presented at the Union opera house on
Thursday evening by Warde & Sack
ett's comedians and their popular star,
Walter Walker, is well remembered
by the public of this city and is held In
high esteem. He is the same able gem
tleman who directed the productions of
the John Stapleton company, which
gave such delightful presentations of
Men and Women" 1.-THE Charity Ball, !"
Sweet Lavender" etc, three years ago.
AS dramatist Mr.. StapletOn has more
than duplicated his marvellous success
as manager and stage director. his
farce, "A Bachelors Honeymoon be-
ing sufficient in itself to place him in the
front rank of modern comedy writers.
"A Bachelors Honeymoon" was a reVe-
lation to the New York critics and they
were unstnted in their praises of Mr..
Stapleton, even going so far as to pre-
dict a new era of comedy and farce
through his efforts. The play surprised
the critics, chiefly because it has all
the brilliancy of dash of the French
