JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

Apropos of the coming of Ed F.. Davis
Uncle Toms Cabin company, Mrs.
Stoves greatest work, a short history
of the original cabin may be of interest.
The people about Nachitoches, La, AVE
long insisted that Robert McAlpin was
the original Simon Legree. His house
and plantation were the only ones fitting
the description in the book, on or neal
the Red river, nj he the only man in the
state who filled the bill" He was in
temperate and merciless and died before
the war, leaving a memory for brutality
that is even now mentioned with horror.
On his place lived a faithful old negro,
sold from Kentucky, who suffered every
thing but actual torture to death, and
Mr.. S. Chopin, the present wealthy
owner of the estate, has preserved the
cabin with great care, in the confident
belief that in time it woul become an
object of natural curiosity. The cabin is
of cyprus logs covered with cyprus
boards, and sound as when built, some
forty years ago. 1t is presumed that
Mrs. Stowe used the novelist's privilege
of combining the experience of several
negroes in one, but simply as a relic Of
the old slave times, the cabin will present
great interest at the Union Family, start
ing this evening. Prices 10, 20, 80 and SOC.

CAME TO LIFE IN CUBA

On November Il. 1895 a man died at ST.
AIMS hospital in this city, who was said
to be Martin Sweeney of Greenleaf, Mich
igan. A few days later he was buried in
the Catholic graveyard east of town and
was mourned as dead by his parents, who
reside at Greenleaf. After a period of
four months. Mr.. and Mrs. Sweeney learn
that their son is alive and we'll and is
down in Cuba fighting for his country.
Martin Sweeney, who is supposed to have
died in Anaconda last fall is a member of
the Q. S. A. AT the time the mar died IN
Anaconda, Pat kissane and another man,
both residents of the city, positively
identified him as Martin Sweeney of
Greenleaf. Based upon this information
Undertaken Ehret who had charge of the
remains wired to Mrs. S. NJ. Sweeney Of
Greenleaf about her sons death here. The
remain were ordered shipped east. Lat
err a dispatch came to bury in Anaconda.
Before the burial of the deceased I'm
dertaker Ehret had a photograph taken
which was sent to the dead mans par
ents. They at once pronounced it not
the likeness of their son and made the
same known to the undertaken who re-
lied upon the identification Of Mr.. ks
sane and his friend. In due time the real
Martin Sweeney who was mourned as
dead wrote to his parents from Cuba. Mr..
and Mrs. Sweeney at once made the same
known to Undertaken Ehret, by a letter
which was received yesterday. Now the
question arises who was the mar who
died and where are his relatives? He no
doubt was Martin Sweeney also, and has
a fond mother somewhere who does not
know that her son is dead.

Being Done That is Believed
to be Fer The
NEW WASHOE SMEL TER
Anaconda Citizens Are Watching All
These Prelimina aries With
Anxious Eyes.

With the coming Of spring there is
considerable speculation as to what will
be the outcome of all that has been said
and written about the Washoe Copper
company During the latter part of 1898
the Inter Mountain published many ar
ticles about the erection of a new smelter
by the Washoe company near Anaconda.
On December IS the Anaconda Standard,
in it's Christmas number, printed an in
terview with Marcus DAILY, which was in
part as follows:
This time next year. if all goes well,
the Washoe company's works will be a
completed plant. and Anaconda will have
a bigger Christmas than ever" So said
Marcus DAILY last Thursday evening, as
he stood on the platform Of the railway
station in Anaconda, grip in hand and
ready to board the east-bound train for
a journey that will and him in New
York. we are not ringing any bells
about it. up and down the Streets con-
tinued Mr.. Daily, but we are working
away, all the same, at the preliminaries,
and there'l be busy times just below
town, next summer, in building the plant
it will be a pretty big one"
1Sl lIlOIllHS " dllu IL LII SCI LII
the completion of the new smelter will
be up. AS yet the ground has not been
broker and cannO be, only at a diSad-
vantage, during this kind of weather
and with such deep snow on the ground.
Preliminaries are being made not only
in Anaconda, but elsewhere. D%raughtS-
men are at work drawing the plans for
the several buildings, and many other
things are being done that are claimed to
be in the interest of the new smelters.
The Anaconda Recorder of recent date
says:
Hartman & Jennings rave nearly COM
pleted their grading to the Washoe mines
in Butte. 1t is reported here that this
firm has secured the contract for grad
ing the site of the new Washoe smelter
and that they will begin work as soon
as they finish their Butte contracts.
Frank Jones, master builder for the
WaShOe company, Ven to Great Falls
this week to pack up and ship a big saw
mill plant to ST. Regis. 1t is said the
Washoe people paid 800, 900 for this saw
mill.
Godfrey Lavell of Butte is advertising
for 100 heavy work horses, which are to
be used in hauling lumber for the Washoe
company at st. Regis.
With all of these things being done. it
really looks as though the Washoe
smelter will be started soon unless some
thing turns up to prevent 1t. There have
been rumors of consolidation with the
Anaconda Copper Mining company, the
sale of the Washoe properties to the
Standard Oil company, and other wild
rumors, until every day brings forth
anxiety upon anxiety for the people who
will watch with more interest than ever
the movements Of the Washoe Copper
company for the next sixty da VS..
